Chapter 1428: Chapter 1428

Monk Zhi’an calculated the outcome of the fight in his mind, and after considering everything, he found no option better than paying the toll.

He left a Zen Staff, a robe, and an Integration Grass, then handed the Storage Ring to Long Fei.

Long Fei raised his brows and said, "You’re from the Buddhist Sect; what are you doing with Integration Grass?"

The monk thought Long Fei wanted to snatch it and quickly said, "Integration Grass is useful to both the Daoist Sect and the Buddhist Sect. If you even take this, I would have to fight to the death."

Long Fei chuckled, "Look at you, why so tense? I just want to know what’s so special about it that everyone treats this as a treasure. Monks don’t lie, Master Zhi’an, can you explain?"

Zhi’an clasped his hands, "I’ll tell you frankly, but you must not take it."

Long Fei raised his hand, "I can swear to you that I won’t take it. Moreover, if you reveal the secret of this herb, I’ll return the Storage Ring to you."

Chu Feng and two others exchanged glances, thinking, since when has our leader become so generous?

Monk Zhi’an thought for a moment, then said, "Fine, I’ll tell you. This Integration Grass aligns with the Heavenly Dao, allowing one to overcome a Heavenly Tribulation without the baptism of Thunder and Lightning, making it easy to break through a realm. The key point is, the breakthrough effect is as solid as going through Thunder Tribulation, keeping the realm very stable without any negative impact."

Long Fei widened his eyes, no wonder all the geniuses treat it like it’s their lifeline, it really has such a wonderful use.

Chu Feng and the other two slapped their thighs, exclaiming, "Damn, we should also go up and dig some!"

Wang Jie said, "Zichuan just mentioned that everything up there has already been dug out."

Murong Chong said, "If I obtain it, it’s my fortune; if I lose it, it’s my fate. This thing has benefits, but it might also have detriments."

Chu Feng and Wang Jie both rolled their eyes, avoiding Thunder Tribulation is a huge benefit.

One should know that cultivators fear nothing more than the Forty-Nine Heavenly Tribulations when advancing to higher stages.

If entangled by karma, during Thunder Tribulation, it could nearly kill a person.

Long Fei curiously asked, "The Soul Ascension Stage can use this thing, but can the Divinity Transformation Realm, Unity Realm Stage, and other higher stages also use it?"

Monk Zhi’an shook his head and said, "Of course not, it can only help the Soul Ascension Stage to avoid the Heavenly Tribulation."

Chu Feng coughed twice and asked, "Monk, you say that you Buddhists don’t get entangled by karma and don’t have Thunder Tribulation, what are you afraid of? Why do you want this thing?"

"This is a private matter, I’m sorry but I can’t disclose it."

Monk Zhi’an clasped his hands, showing an expression of wanting to leave this bandit den soon.

True to his word, Long Fei returned the Storage Ring to him and bowed, "Alright, we’re like brothers, I’ll waive your toll. When we meet again, we can discuss Buddhist Law further." Thɪs chapter is updatᴇd by 𝗻𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗹✦𝕗𝕚𝕣𝕖✦𝓷𝓮𝓽

Monk Zhi’an took the Storage Ring and paused, not expecting Long Fei to let go of the readily available gain.

He clasped his hands and said "Amitabha," took the Storage Ring, and swiftly left.

Chu Feng stared at Long Fei with surprise and asked, "You just let him go like that?"

Chu Feng said, "At least keep the stuff; don’t let our lengthy talk go to waste?"

Long Fei shook his head, "I don’t need the stuff, it’s filled with Buddhist scriptures we can’t understand. He’s just a poor monk; the contents of the Storage Ring aren’t even worth scrap metal."

Wang Jie laughed, "I thought the boss had turned over a new leaf! Turns out it’s because of this."

Chu Feng and Murong Chong also smiled and asked Long Fei, "There are a few more left, what’s the plan?"

Long Fei said, "The Integration Grass is indeed useful, but it’s not absolutely necessary. During a Heavenly Tribulation, it helps clean impurities out of the body; everything has its flaws. If you want stable realms, I suggest you honestly experience the Heavenly Tribulations."

"External objects are ultimately external, although they claim no impact, it’s never the same as a proper Thunder Tribulation for honing oneself."

"We should just honestly collect some tolls."

Chu Feng and the other two nodded and lightly chuckled, agreeing with Long Fei’s view.

A moment later, Long Fei’s old nemesis, Divine Child Ying Wuque from Netherworld Star, descended from the stone steps on the mountain.

Following him were Divine Child Fengchi from Divine King Star, and Crane Cry from Feather King Star.

These three had a battle with Long Fei in Ghost Emperor City, and now seeing each other again, their hearts were filled with animosity.

They had already learned of Long Fei and his group’s misdeeds on the mountain.

The three discussed all the way, saying they had come to fight to the death, and must battle these rascals to the end.

Originally, they planned to team up with Banished Immortal Changxi from Immortal King Star and Taida from Barbarian King Star to fight the enemy.

Unexpectedly, these two were ambiguous in attitude, and refused to join them.

They descended first, while the two remained on the mountain searching for something.

Ying Wuque squinted his eyes at Long Fei, recalling Yuan Wudao from Demon King Star and Jin Jiu from Aurelius.

One was slain by Long Fei on Tianzhu Mountain, the other in Ghost Emperor City.

Demon King Star and Aurelius were about to send people over, and by then, they would definitely seek revenge against Long Fei.

Chu Feng drinking his wine, shouted at the three, "You know the rules, right?"

Ying Wuque curled his mouth in defiance, "We know the rules, but we don’t accept them. You’re so unreasonable. We sweated blood to get what we have on the mountain, why should we hand it over to you?"

Chu Feng stood up and shook his fist, "No reason, just because my fists are bigger than yours. If you disagree, we can fight it out."

Ying Wuque cursed inwardly and exchanged glances with Fengchi and Crane Cry.

Estimating both sides’ strength, not to mention Long Fei standing, even handling Chu Feng and the others alone is no easy task.

Having fought intensely on the mountain for Integration Grass, they were also nearly electrocuted to death by this world’s restriction.

Fighting now, they have no advantage.

Crane Cry whispered, "Should we hold back temporarily and take revenge once we break through outside?"

"Right, they don’t have Integration Grass, breakthroughs will be tough. Once we break through, we’ll settle scores immediately."

Ying Wuque bore a personal grudge against Long Fei, eager for revenge. With the other two consenting to hold back, he would face them alone if he fought.

Ying Wuque gritted his teeth, grudgingly stepped back.

They each took their most valuable two or three Magical Treasures, grabbed the Integration Grass, and tossed their Storage Rings towards Long Fei.

Long Fei shook his head and sighed, "Boring, there’s not even an excuse to kill you."

Ying Jiutian’s eyes suddenly reddened.

Crane Cry held him back, quickly reminding, "He’s deliberately trying to provoke us, don’t fall for it!"

Suppressing their anger, the three left. Soon, several Extraterritorial Cultivators came down, seeing they’d already submitted.

These Extraterritorial Cultivators didn’t resist either, handing over their goods and leaving peacefully.

On the mountain in the Secret Realm, Thunder and Lightning raged, it was unclear whether someone triggered a restriction or the Secret Realm started clearing invaders.

Outside the entrance, there were periodic strikes, crackling and smashing the ground with dust flying everywhere.

Chu Feng looked at the darkened ground, gulping and said to Long Fei, "Should we leave? I checked and it seems only Chang Xi and that barbarian are left in the Secret Realm."

Wang Jie said, "Miss Chang Xi is too beautiful, I feel embarrassed to act against her."

Murong Chong nodded in agreement.

Long Fei smiled, "No rush, we must hitch a ride first. Otherwise, going out now will definitely get us zapped by those old geezers outside."

"I almost forgot about that!"

Chu Feng and the other two slapped their foreheads, were so engrossed in robbing earlier.

They had offended all the sects, going out this way would surely get them chopped into mincemeat.
