Chapter 24 Indeed They Are Competitors?

Weidai He did not refute what Ji Rui said.

“It’s indeed as what you said. I’m a clanswoman of the Weidai Sect. However, I’m curious as to how you can tell?”

Chu Feng did not expect her to admit it so readily.

In other words, the woman in front of him was also a Martial Sage expert…

Chu Feng was a little puzzled. Why had he met so many super capable women recently? Not only were their cultivation levels higher than his, but they were all also so good-looking

Xu Yi’s expression changed though.

Weidai He is really from that sect? In other words, this person must be at least a Martial Sage.

Why is it that he can so easily bump into a Martial Sage while on a trip!

Xu Yi thought of his own strength and felt an indescribable bitterness in his heart.

Back when he was a follower of the Fire Cloud Sect, the previous sect master was a Martial Sage. He was fully in charge of the Fire Cloud Sect, one of the four major sects. Apart from him, Xu Yi had never met anyone else in the Martial Sage realm.

Now, not long after he landed in this place, he encountered people from the Weidai Sect. He did not believe that coincidences like this existed in the world.

What was Weidai He’s purpose in coming to the outside world?

Chu Feng was also very interested in the same issue.

“Miss Weidai He, I never expected you to already be a Martial Sage and I’m really impressed. However, it’s rumored that the people of Weidai Sect won’t appear in the outside world unless they have a mission. I’m very curious as to what your mission is, Miss.”

Chu Feng’s words caught everyone’s attention.

Ji Rui and Xu Yi pricked up their ears, wondering how Weidai He would reply. They were very interested in this answer.

What kind of secrets did Weidai He have?

Why had the two of them come to the Purgatory Sea together? “Young master Chu Feng, I’ve really made a fool of myself in front of you. Although I’m a clanswoman of the Weidai Sect, my appearance in the outside world this time is just an experience that my elders requested of me. I’m at the preliminary stage of the Martial Sage realm and my foundation is unstable, so I need to come to the Purgatory Sea for a round of training.”

Weidai He smiled and said.

Do you take me for a fool?

Chu Feng silently looked away. Weidai He’s answer was too tightly crafted without any useful information at all.

However, at the very least, they could confirm that these two people were clanspeople of the Weidai Sect.

There was an awkward moment between the four of them before it was quickly broken by Chu Feng and the friendly Yan Bang. The topic of Weidai Sect was also deliberately dropped.

After they had their fill of food and drinks and long conversations, they all returned to their rooms. After a long journey, they were all tired.

However, Xu Yi could not rest yet. After all, they still had to go out to sea the next day so before that, he needed to find a suitable fleet going to the Purgatory Sea for them to tag on.

Chu Feng lay on the bed and yawned.

“My wife, why would we suddenly encounter people from the Weidai Sect today? What a coincidence to meet them at the moment we’re going to set off to find the Martial Emperor’s tomb.”

Ji Rui quickly understood what he meant.

“Are you thinking that the Weidai Sect also sent people out to search for the Martial Emperor’s tomb?”

He laughed and nodded. “That’s the theory I have. They come all this way to this little place so there must be something attractive enough in the Purgatory Sea.”

“That means whatever is in the Martial Emperor’s tomb is enough to attract two people from the Weidai Sect.”

Ji Rui nodded thoughtfully.

Earlier, Ji Zheng had revealed that the spiritual energy in the world was slowly weakening and it would become more and more difficult to advance to the Martial Emperor realm.

Perhaps he was not the only one who had a glimpse of heavenly secrets.

Could it be that the people of Weidai Sect also place their hopes on the Martial Emperor’s tomb because of this? This ravine was formed during the chaotic times. During that time, the spiritual energy in the world was in abundance. Perhaps the Martial Emperor’s tomb really held whatever they needed!

He remembered that Ji Zheng had commenced his search for the Martial Emperor’s tomb in order to obtain something that could help Ji Rui advance to the Martial Emperor realm.

In that case… were they looking for the same thing as Weidai He?

Perhaps there might be some sparks between the Weidai Sect and the Dual Polarity Sect in the future.

However, Chu Feng was not afraid. After all, the Dual Polarity Sect still had the strong backing of the old man.

Although Ji Zheng said earlier that he had only temporarily advanced to the Martial Emperor realm, the sly old fox had lived for so many years so he surely had a few tricks up his sleeve.

Only Ji Zheng himself knew what happened after he absorbed the Ancient Wonder Elixir.

Even if they became enemies with Weidai He in the future because of whatever was in the Martial Emperor’s tomb, he really did not believe that they would lose with the help of the old man.

He still had more than 20 elixirs in his small backpack and the quality was even better than the Ancient Wonder Elixir that Ji Zheng had taken. At most, he would let the old man advance to the Martial Emperor realm again!

However, there was a problem that gave Chu Feng a headache. How could he openly take out these elixirs without making the old man suspicious?

Time passed in the blink of an eye and soon it was the next day.

Xu Yi woke him up before dawn. After washing up, they walked towards the docks.

“I hope I don’t meet that Yan Bang guy… It’s much more troublesome to have a Martial Sage opponent on the ship.”

Chu Feng prayed silently in his heart. In the end, his sharp eyes spotted two people next to the ship.

Yan Bang even greeted him in a friendly manner!

“Brother Chu Feng! Are you also here to go fishing in the sea? You and I are really fated.”

These two people had actually followed them onto the same ship. Chu Feng would not believe that they did not have any ulterior motives.

There was a 70% to 80% chance that they were here to take the thing in the Martial Emperor’s tomb.

“What a coincidence.”

Chu Feng pulled his lips into a smile.

If it is a real coincidence, he can win the grand prize by buying a lottery ticket!

They looked at each other, tacitly pretending it was a chance meeting.

The main purpose of this ship going out to sea was to hunt demonic beasts and take out the essence crystals inside them to sell for a good price.

The majority of the warriors who came to the Purgatory Sea were in this profession.

Word had spread about the incident at the Donglai Inn yesterday.

Countless eyes were staring at Ji Rui’s group. When people heard that they were going out to sea to hunt demonic beasts the next day, many itinerant cultivators were tempted.

Under normal circumstances, the probability of obtaining essence crystals from the demonic beasts would be much higher than usual by tagging along the trip out to sea with someone as strong as Ji Rui.

Therefore, there was a particularly high number of warriors on the ship today. It was several times more crowded than usual.

The light emitted by the essence crystals from demonic beasts surpassed that of beautiful gems. The crystals could also be used as material to refine elixirs and could even help increase the cultivation levels of martial arts practitioners.

There was a beast called the Rainbow Spirit Fish Dragon in the Purgatory Sea. It was very rare and liked to appear in clusters on sunny days.
