Chapter 470 - 294: So Green It Makes You Panic
Leng Jing didn’t dare hide anything or try to bluff his way out of it—not even the fact that he had stepped through the door with his left foot.
He was well aware that since the Ancestor had made this decision, there was surely a way to tell who was lying.
So, he had no choice. It was clear he had to go on this expedition to the Outer Realm...
Meanwhile, at Courtyard Nine on Taian Mountain.
Teng County and Qiu Lan were both in the courtyard, eagerly awaiting good news.
Neither of them believed Zou Feng would fail his breakthrough.
The only uncertainty was whether Zou Feng could reach the version of the Spiritual Energy Realm that he had envisioned for himself.
The two women occasionally glanced toward the courtyard entrance, making idle small talk.
All at once, an almost palpable killing intent descended upon them.
The two women’s hair stood on end, and they instinctively froze, not daring to move a muscle.
’What’s going on!?’
’Inside the Pinnacle Celestial Immortal Sect, no one would dare defy the sect rules and kill someone at will...’
Yet this killing intent made them feel as if they could be slain at any moment.
"Where is Zou Feng?"
A voice, so indifferent it was almost devoid of any emotion, rang out abruptly from behind the two women.
As soon as the question was asked, the killing intent pressing down on Teng County and Qiu Lan finally weakened.
It was as if invisible shackles had been lifted from them.
The next moment, they slowly turned to look at the speaker.
"Huang Daoxian... Brother Huang!?"
Teng County didn’t recognize this person, but of course, Qiu Lan did.
The reason she recognized Huang Daoxian was very simple.
He was a top prodigy, ranked tenth on the Outer Sect’s Potential Leaderboard.
A monster who increased his power through ceaseless slaughter.
He was privately called by many disciples: an emotionless god of slaughter!
Of course, even a "god of slaughter" wouldn’t dare defy the rules of the Pinnacle Celestial Immortal Sect.
Therefore, the man hadn’t actually intended to kill anyone just now. He merely wanted to intimidate the two women, to make a powerful impression right from his entrance.
"Answer my question!"
Qiu Lan’s thoughts raced.
’She couldn’t understand why a top prodigy like Huang Daoxian would personally come looking for Brother Zou. From his menacing aura, he clearly means Brother Zou harm. But the question is, we’re inside the Immortal Sect. Would Huang Daoxian dare attack him without going to the Dao Discussion Platform?’
By this time, Teng County had already calmed down.
She didn’t share Qiu Lan’s hesitation about whether to answer, and said directly, "Brother Feng went to the Spiritual Spring on Taian Mountain!"
"The Spiritual Spring?" Huang Daoxian, his face an icy mask, showed a slight change in expression. "Could he be attempting a breakthrough to the Spiritual Energy Realm?"
Teng County continued to answer truthfully. "Correct."
In Teng County’s mind, this information was inconsequential. After all, even without the constraints of the sect rules, Zou Feng should have long since stopped fearing any Outer Disciple.
And if this man knew Zou Feng was about to break through to the Spiritual Energy Realm, he would most likely back down to avoid bringing humiliation upon himself.
But Teng County’s assumption was ridiculously wrong.
Far from backing down upon learning that Zou Feng was about to reach the Spiritual Energy Realm, Huang Daoxian’s face lit up with ecstasy.
"Excellent, excellent..."
After flashing a cruel and mocking smile, Huang Daoxian’s body suddenly blurred and swiftly vanished.
His departure, like his arrival, was without a trace.
"What’s wrong with that guy? Is he crazy?" Teng County was thoroughly confused by Huang Daoxian’s reaction.
Qiu Lan gave a wry smile and explained, "Sister Teng, that Huang Daoxian... he’s ranked tenth on the Potential Leaderboard..."
"So what?"
"The top thirty on the Outer Sect Potential Leaderboard can all defeat cultivators in the Spiritual Energy Realm. Most of them are deliberately suppressing their Realm, temporarily holding off on their own breakthrough."
"Even ordinary Inner Sect Disciples don’t dare put on any airs when they see them..."
The Pinnacle Celestial Immortal Sect has hundreds of millions of Outer Disciples. One can only imagine how prestigious it is to be in the top thirty of the Potential Leaderboard.
For them, defeating someone in an Upper Realm is hardly an unimaginable feat.
When Zou Feng took out two Inner Sect Disciples—one dead, one injured—with a single Black Dragon Wave, it caused a huge stir. But in the eyes of these top-ranked prodigies, it was nothing special.
"Sister Teng, this Huang Daoxian primarily cultivates the Dao of Slaughter. He loves to challenge powerful enemies. He clawed his way to tenth place on the Potential Leaderboard one battle at a time."
"They say he’s been looking for a suitable opponent for the Dao Discussion Platform lately. He obviously wants to slay a strong enemy to help him reach a more perfect state for his breakthrough to the Spiritual Energy Realm."
"Unfortunately, of those ranked ahead of him on the leaderboard, he either knows he has no chance of winning, or they simply avoid his challenges..."
Qiu Lan was very well-connected and knew a lot about matters within the Outer Sect.
After hearing all this, Teng County finally understood Huang Daoxian’s intentions.
"Even if he wants to go to the Dao Discussion Platform with Brother Feng, Brother Feng has to agree..."
She didn’t finish her sentence. Teng County realized Zou Feng would, in all likelihood, agree.
Especially right after breaking through to the Spiritual Energy Realm. Given Zou Feng’s usual way of doing things, there was no way he would refuse.
"It doesn’t matter. I refuse to believe he can defeat Brother Feng from a lower Realm. We’ll just have to wait and see!"
With that, Teng County started walking briskly toward the Spiritual Spring.
Qiu Lan felt a sense of dread. She opened her mouth to speak, but then closed it and hurried after Teng County.
If Qiu Lan was right, Huang Daoxian would challenge Zou Feng the moment he completed his breakthrough.
What followed would surely be a trip to the Dao Discussion Platform, to fight a battle of both skill and survival.
Naturally, this was something Teng County could not miss.
Before long, the two of them arrived at the entrance to the Spiritual Spring.
Looking around, they saw that quite a crowd had already gathered.
This was to be expected. Any disciples who happened to be nearby and saw Huang Daoxian, the infamous god of slaughter, heading menacingly toward the Spiritual Spring would naturally gather to see what was going on.
