Chapter 312: Chapter 312: Dead Weight

Having witnessed the ferocity of the Ancient Demons, the three of them cooperated tacitly, choosing not to engage in close combat but instead adopting guerrilla tactics to deal with it.

With an Unparalleled Demon at their helm, and the three Ancient Demons partially regaining their strength, each master was extremely dangerous.

Han Shuang, wielding the newly obtained Treasure Sword, could effectively harm the Ancient Demons, thus temporarily ensuring the safety of the Rashamon Sect. However, the situation at the Ten Thousand Sword Sect was slightly worse.

It was because Han Xiaoying was restrained by Elder Zhuang and could not fight.

The newly obtained Earth Fiend Sword was also unable to exert any power.

As the Demon Power of the four Ancient Demons grew stronger, the situation for everyone turned increasingly dire. People were getting injured continuously, and some even perished.

The masters from loose cultivators and smaller forces started to grow wise, becoming united and cohesive in order to resist the Ancient Demons together. Poison Eye Dragon King, possessing formidable cultivation and also being a Loose Cultivator, was part of this.

After forming an alliance, the leading elder invited the Poison Eye Dragon King saying, "Poison Eye Dragon King, since we are all Loose Cultivators, why not face this peril together?"

The Poison Eye Dragon King couldn’t make this decision on his own and looked towards Chu Feng who truly had the authority to decide.

After Chu Feng slightly nodded, Poison Eye Dragon King then agreed, "Alright!" After speaking, he, along with Chu Feng and Han Dong, fought while retreating towards the Loose Cultivation Alliance.

"That kid surnamed Chu is a person the Unparalleled Demon must eliminate, why not abandon him!" A hint of cold light flashed in the elder’s eyes.

This person, known as Golden Beetle, possessed extremely high cultivation and, just like the Poison Eye Dragon King, was in the Late Stage Sword Saint Realm.

He believed Chu Feng was a burden, not only lacking in strength but also likely to attract targeted attacks from the Ancient Demons. Thus, he refused to let Chu Feng join.

"That won’t do!" Poison Eye Dragon King immediately rejected his suggestion.

Chu Feng’s expression remained indifferent throughout.

"If that’s not possible, then forget it!" Golden Beetle frowned and outright rejected together with Poison Eye Dragon King.

He believed that letting the Poison Eye Dragon King join was indeed excellent.

But to also bring along two burdens was not worth it.

Zang Jianfeng, Prince Jianyun, and Shangguan Bei all wore mocking smiles on their faces, taking pleasure in watching Chu Feng being treated like a burden. This one didn’t accept him, neither did the other.

Han Xiaoying watched her husband being humiliated and in danger, feeling utterly powerless, tears continuously flowed from her eyes.

"Chu Feng, if you offer the Heavenly Divine Weapon to this elder, I will allow you to return to the Ten Thousand Sword Sect’s camp," Elder Huang was definitely a cunning person, always thinking about taking advantage of others.

He always placed himself in a very high position.

His disciples were all dead, and he showed no sign of grief. It was clear that he was extremely selfish and self-serving.

Compared to Elder Shoumei’s character, he was far inferior.

"The Heavenly Divine Weapon was obtained through countless near-death experiences. Would I offer such a divine peerless weapon to you?"

"I needn’t join any camp, nor will I rely on anyone!"

Having said that, Chu Feng took out the map the Old woodcutter had given him from his bosom. When the Old woodcutter gave him this map, he earnestly instructed him, to only open it when in absolute peril.

Currently, the Ancient Demons were overwhelmingly powerful, and the Poison Eye Dragon King had been injured by the Ancient Bull-headed Demon until he vomited blood.

Han Dong was also injured, Chu Feng himself was temporarily unharmed, but the situation was extremely dire. It was very dangerous. If he couldn’t escape, he would certainly die. Holding the map, he closely inspected it, and suddenly his eyes lit up.

"It turns out, the path to life is at the altar!"

Chu Feng couldn’t help but look towards the altar again, and sure enough, he spotted an extremely concealed mechanism according to the map.

By activating this mechanism, an escape route could be opened.

"Follow me!"

Chu Feng shouted coldly and then looked at Han Shuang and Han Xiaoying.

These two women, both being some of his most important individuals, he couldn’t bear to watch them perish here.

"Blood Sect Master, Elder Zhuang, if you two trust me, join me in storming the altar, and you may survive!" After saying this, Chu Feng no longer looked at these people, instead, he held the Demon Slaying Sword and led the way.

In fact, his main task was to fend off the overwhelming Demon Power of the Unparalleled Demon and block the spray of Ancient Demon Blood.

Blood Sect Master looked at Chu Feng, who suddenly launched towards the altar, with some suspicion.

"That place is deep inside the seventh level of the Demon Suppression Tower; running not towards the outside but deeper inside, can there still be a chance of survival?" Logically, the correct move at this moment should be to find a way to break through the Ancient Demon’s Demon Power and then ascend to the sixth level and escape the way they came.

"Master, opportunities are fleeting, I beseech you, trust Chu Feng this once!" Han Shuang, who knew Chu Feng rather well, believed that he would not act recklessly without reason.

She understood that given people like her master’s attitude towards Chu Feng’s actions, Chu Feng pointing out a clear path at this critical moment was indeed for her sake.

"Shut your mouth!" The Blood Sect Master, thinking of her beloved disciple’s close relationship with Chu Feng, felt immensely infuriated.

After hesitating, Elder Zhuang decided to trust Chu Feng.

She said to the others, "We will enter the altar with Chu Feng! He must know some secrets unknown to us since he was able to enter the Demon Suppression Tower before us." After saying this, she did not care about opposition from Zang Jianfeng and others, taking Han Xiaoying and flying towards Chu Feng.

She also released the restrictions on Han Xiaoying.

"Golden Talisman Sect Master, Great Elder Yang, come with me!" Chu Feng said to the two. "I’ll lead you out of the Demon Suppression Tower as a repayment to you!"

Just now, when the Ten Thousand Sword Sect and the Loose Cultivation Alliance had consecutively refused to let Chu Feng join them, these two did not abandon him.

This made both of them feel somewhat embarrassed.

But at this life-and-death juncture, both had to prioritize their sects, so no matter how much they admired Chu Feng, they dared not act impulsively.

And they could not possibly, for selfish reasons, put the disciples of their sects at risk.

In contrast, these sects valued their own members far more. Perhaps the Ten Thousand Sword Sect had been the top dog for too long, giving rise to the common ailments of a Great Sect.

They were probably rather good to the True Disciples and some key disciples.

But for ordinary disciples like Chu Feng, they were completely treated as cannon fodder. To be ruthlessly abandoned at critical moments.

"Junior Brother Chu, we wronged you. We’re ashamed!"

Great Elder Yang and the Golden Talisman Sect Master were both embarrassed. They hadn’t expected that now they would need Chu Feng’s help.

Both were deeply impressed by Chu Feng’s magnanimity and resolve, which further solidified their determination to befriend him.

They had no doubts about Chu Feng’s words and immediately led the experts of their sects to the altar to meet with Chu Feng.

"Chu Feng, you lead us into the altar with malicious intentions. In my view, it’s clear no one was willing to protect you, and thus you concocted this clumsy method to gather everyone together."

Zang Jianfeng shouted coldly.

He thought himself clever, having exposed Chu Feng’s plot.
