Nine Yang Alchemy Emperor
Chapter 286: Scram!

Chapter 286: Chapter 286: Scram!

Elder Shoumei’s face changed again and again upon hearing these words; his beard bristled and his hair appeared to fly in rage, clearly reaching the peak of fury.

"Fine, I will kneel, hoping you keep your word!"

Elder Shoumei gritted his teeth and decided to bow his head.

He was filled with guilt, as both his disciples were injured due to his own mistakes.

"I’ll kowtow to you, no problem. But you must ensure all five of my disciples are brought out of Sword Tomb safely." Elder Shoumei’s meaning was evident: he was willing to sacrifice his old life.

However, all five disciples must live.

"Damn, do you think your kneeling is worth that much? And you want me to ensure all five of your disciples get out safely? I am no nanny. However, your female disciple is indeed quite beautiful. If she were to become a concubine for me and you kowtow a few more times, then I might consider it."

Elder Yang, showing no respect for his age, took advantage of the situation to lay his designs on Qin Keren.

Indeed, Senior Sister Qin’s beauty was very enticing.

Many men harbored thoughts about her.

If young disciples from the sect were to pursue her, it would have been normal. But for Elder Yang, who was already one foot in the grave, to still covet such a young beauty and wish to make her his concubine was utterly shameless.

"You, you old bastard..."

Even with his usually good temper, Elder Shoumei couldn’t help but explode with rage.

He pointed at Elder Yang, cursing.

"How dare you curse me? You are the one begging me now."

"If you disagree, then let it be. Anyway, I am perfectly safe whereas you all are dying," said Elder Yang casually, making to leave.

"Wait!"

The one who spoke this time was Qin Keren, her pretty face filled with anger while also showing a hint of resolution and desolation.

"Hehe, little beauty, you’ve finally seen sense? That’s the way!" Elder Yang hadn’t expected Qin Keren to agree to his terms so easily. His heart blossomed with joy, thinking of taking such a young and beautiful woman as his concubine.

His heart rate quickened, his face flushed crimson.

"I have one condition: not only do you have to bring us out safely, but my master as well; he too must be brought out," Qin Keren said decisively.

"Fine, no problem!" To Elder Yang, taking along an additional person or not made no difference.

The most important thing was to take Qin Keren as his concubine.

Elder Yang’s face bloomed into a radiant smile, his wrinkles bunching together, resembling a decrepit old lecher.

"I do not agree!"

The voice of Chu Feng was not loud, but it was clear and resolute.

"Ha, you? Do you think you have a say here?" Elder Yang sneered as if he had heard the funniest joke.

With a look of disdain, he gazed down at Chu Feng with utmost contempt.

"Not to put it bluntly, whether you can even leave alive is up to me. If it weren’t for your master kneeling, and your senior sister becoming my concubine, would you even have a chance to survive?" Elder Yang mocked Chu Feng with arrogance.

As if he were looking at a pitiful lowly bug.

"Master, you needn’t kneel to him! Senior Sister Qin, I absolutely will not allow you to marry such an old and rotten scoundrel."

"Marrying this kind of person, let alone being a concubine, even as a wife you would have no happiness."

"A true man has things he will do and things he won’t. To live by forsaking dignity and sacrificing these close to me just to save my own skin, I, Chu Feng, would rather die by an Ancient Demon’s hands than live such a humiliating and cowardly life."

Chu Feng did not even glance at Elder Yang but instead spoke with righteous firmness to persuade Elder Shoumei and the others.

"But if I don’t sacrifice myself, you all cannot survive..." Qin Keren’s face was already streaming with tears as she bit her enticing red lips. "I’ve been fatherless since birth, and lost my mother at the age of six. If it weren’t for Master taking me in, I might have died long ago."

"Over the years, thanks to Master’s care, I have gained my current status and cultivation. Everything I have was given to me by Master. My Senior Brothers have also taken very good care of me, treating me as if I were their own sister, with love and affection."

"If merely sacrificing myself can save you all, then it’s well worth it. I am willing to do so, with no regrets."

Chu Feng never knew the story of Qin Keren’s life.

Only now did he understand that she became an orphan at the age of six.

Presumably, she has long considered the Sect her family, her Senior Brothers and Junior Brothers as her own kin, and her Master as her father.

Elder Shoumei also couldn’t help but have tears in his eyes, his tearful gaze sweeping over his disciples as he choked out, "It is I, your teacher, who is incapable, failing to protect you all completely, causing you to end up in such a plight... It is I who is guilty, a sinner for the ages... "

In such a scene, even Liu Dazhuang, a rough man, could not help but repeatedly wipe his reddened eyes.

The bond within the Sect, deep as the sea.

Alas, this is a world where the strong are revered. The weak, even if they survive, live only in abject cowardice, without dignity, without freedom.

Now, Chu Feng and his companions are in dire straits. Elder Yang, taking advantage of others’ troubles, brazenly acts the rogue, and no one can do anything about it.

"Isn’t it just escaping the Demon Suppression Tower? No big deal. I guarantee that I can get you all out alive from the Demon Suppression Tower." Chu Feng said, brimming with confidence.

Not only is he of extraordinary strength, but he has also subdued an enforcer who is even more formidable than Elder Yang, at the level of a Peak Sword Saint.

To escort the people of his Sect out was far from an impossible task.

"Haha, lad who can’t even distinguish between male and female, what big words you have. You think you can guarantee their safety? Who do you think you are? A god?"

"To put it bluntly, you can’t even ensure your own safety."

Elder Yang naturally didn’t believe Chu Feng’s bold declaration. He just thought Chu Feng was being impetuously brave, a youth full of hot blood, acting rashly.

"Old dog, I’ll count to ten. If you don’t scram, then end up like it!"

Chu Feng pointed behind him, where the Demonic Qi suddenly parted on its own.

Then it revealed the corpse of the Sheep-headed Ancient Demon.

Seeing the decapitated Sheep-headed Ancient Demon, Elder Yang’s face turned pale, drained of color.

He was genuinely scared.

"Will you scram or not?"

Chu Feng called out again.

"Hmph, this Elder can’t be bothered with you dead people." Elder Yang, unsure of Chu Feng’s full capabilities and additionally fearful of Elder Shoumei’s terrifying power, changed his expression and ultimately, gritting his teeth, flew towards the distance, not daring to contend with Chu Feng.

How terrifying the Ancient Demons of the Third Level of the Demon Suppression Tower are, he had seen with his own eyes. And Chu Feng and his companions had actually slain an Ancient Demon; this was all too frightening.

Furthermore, with Chu Feng giving off an impressive Killing Aura and full of confidence, it scared him even more.

It wasn’t worth risking his life over, and with the pursuit of the other three Ancient Demons possibly imminent, it was better to quickly flee from this place of trouble.

After Elder Yang and the others left, Elder Shoumei and Liu Dazhuang, among others, all had gloomy expressions, faces as grey as death.

They had preserved their dignity, but what they faced was death.

However, they did not blame Chu Feng; rather, they were filled with admiration for him. They felt ashamed of their own cowardice and fear of death.
