Chapter 313: Chapter 313: The Old Woodcutter Appears

"Dumbass, I did not call you, I only summoned Elder Zhuang. If it weren’t for Xiao Ying’s sake, I wouldn’t have even summoned Elder Zhuang."

"Those who think I have ulterior motives are free not to come."

Chu Feng said coldly.

Zang Jianfeng and the people from the Shangguan family’s expressions changed, and they indeed did not follow. Elder Yang also sided with the Shangguan family, also suspecting Chu Feng was playing tricks.

They thought he was intentionally using this method to deceive them.

On the contrary, Prince Jianyun, with a cold face, silently followed behind Elder Zhuang. He maintained a safe distance from Chu Feng and the Poison Eye Dragon King, showing an exceedingly cautious demeanor.

The Unparalleled Demon seemed quite pleased to see this situation, ready to divide and conquer them.

It took the opportunity to slaughter the Loose Cultivation Alliance and was in no hurry to deal with Chu Feng and the others. Once Chu Feng and his group entered the altar, they were heading into a dead end, making it hard to escape.

Many top experts, expending great effort, each bearing injuries, forced their way into the altar.

The altar was already destroyed and in disarray, so they were all extremely cautious.

After Chu Feng entered the altar, the Poison Eye Dragon King and Han Dong guarded him from behind. He went straight to the location of the mechanism, cleared the debris, and pulled the lever.

Click!

A slate of cyan-gray material popped up, only half a foot in size.

Seeing that Chu Feng had actually found the mechanism, those who followed him lit up with anticipation. Han Xiaoying and Han Shuang, the two women, no longer cared about their jealousy and watched Chu Feng intently.

Especially Han Xiaoying, who looked up to her own husband with immense admiration.

"Kid, make it quick, the Ancient Demon is about to break in!" Elder Huang, cunning as he was, also followed inside.

Seeing that Chu Feng had opened a passage, his eyes brightened, and he urged continuously.

"Shut up!"

This time, without Chu Feng’s intervention, the Golden Talisman Sect Master and others harshly rebuked him.

Elder Huang, although his face was filled with anger, was intimidated by the many supporting Chu Feng, and dared not make another sound.

The lifting of the slate revealed a Nine Palaces diagram inside.

Chu Feng studied it intently for a moment before starting to press on them. After fiddling for a while, amidst the tense anticipation of the crowd, a rumbling sound suddenly came from the wall.

Immediately after, a secret passage appeared.

Everyone was astounded.

It was a spiral-shaped secret passage, winding upwards.

"Haha, great, no need to fear the persecution of the Ancient Demon anymore. I’ll go first!" Elder Huang, like an arrow released from the bow, rushed towards the entrance of the secret passage.

Prince Jianyun and the others were also poised to act.

"There might be extremely dangerous mechanisms inside the secret passage, don’t blame me if you die!" Chu Feng’s voice was icy cold, with a hint of mockery.

"You threaten me? I am a Sect Elder, and you are just an ordinary disciple, you should be clear about that!" Elder Huang suddenly halted, stopped in his tracks, and glared fiercely at Chu Feng.

"Hehe, dare not! If you are not afraid of death, take the lead by all means!" Chu Feng said with a cold smirk.

Elder Huang’s expression changed unsurely, and finally, he grumbled, "Better you lead the way then!"

Chu Feng looked towards Han Xiaoying and Han Shuang, "Both of you have Supreme Treasure Swords, follow behind me." Now, Chu Feng had become everyone’s hope of escape.

He had found the secret passage, making everyone instinctively trust him deeply.

"Listen well, I’ll say this only once, anyone who doesn’t follow my command, don’t blame me for being ruthless, I’ll leave all of you behind!" Chu Feng said coldly.

Elder Huang, Chou Li, and others could only hold their noses and agree, obeying Chu Feng’s arrangements.

Currently, Chu Feng is in a dominant position due to the situation.

They can’t manage without him.

Each person, in order to survive and escape, would choose to support Chu Feng. Only after escaping from the Demon Suppression Tower, when Chu Feng no longer holds any utility, will he lose his supreme status.

Chu Feng, leading Han Xiao Ying, Han Shuang, Han Dong, and the Poison Eye Dragon King, his four followers, walked at the forefront. This was also the safest position.

Those behind, would have to face the chase of the Ancient Demons.

Saying that there are formidable traps in the secret path, claiming that the Supreme Treasure Swords of Han Xiao Ying and Han Shuang are needed, these are all deceits. Actually, they are not needed at all.

...

"Damn, that kid actually found a secret path," Elder Yang was both anxious and angry, and extremely vexed.

Without any second words, this time he even directly abandoned the Shangguan family and Shangguan Bei.

With the fastest speed, he rushed towards the altar.

Zang Jianfeng was looking embarrassed, had he not earlier acted mean-spiritedly and arrogantly slander Chu Feng, they wouldn’t have missed the chance to escape.

Those who didn’t believe in Chu Feng, now each and every one of them regretted deeply.

They not only have to face the frenzied attacks of the Ancient Demon but also missed the best opportunity to escape.

Those who chose to believe in Chu Feng were all filled with joy and hope.

Chu Feng has now virtually become the ruler of everyone.

Of course, this ruling position is very short-lived. As soon as they leave the Demon Suppression Tower, he will no longer be of any use.

Chu Feng himself is very clear about this.

"This despicable kid, he must not escape! Chase him for me, Demon Lord!" the Unparalleled Demon realized something was wrong after Chu Feng opened a secret path, but alas, it was too late.

He could only watch helplessly as Chu Feng made his escape.

It, along with its three Ancient Demons, started a frenzy of slaughter among the remaining people, venting all their fury on them.

The Loose Cultivation Alliance suffered the heaviest losses.

Even the Golden Beetle himself was severely injured.

...

An hour later, Chu Feng finally smoothly opened the exit of the secret path and was the first to crawl out. His safe escape was all thanks to the map given by the old woodcutter.

"Eh, we’ve directly exited the Sword Tomb!"

Chu Feng was surprised to find himself surrounded by tall trees.

Suddenly, when he saw an old figure standing in front, he couldn’t help but be stunned.

"Old man, what are you doing here?" At this moment, the old woodcutter, different from who they had seen when entering the mountain, was standing before him.

Though he was dressed raggedly and his back was still somewhat stooped, his entire demeanor had undergone a drastic change. Just like the Sweeping Monk in Jin Yong’s novels, when he revealed his true self, it was enough to shock everyone.

"As a Mountain Guardian, I am tasked with guarding this mountain. Young man, you really have profound fortune to have received this Demon Slaying Sword, it may be the will of heaven. You and I should slay demons together," said the old woodcutter.

The old woodcutter’s eyes gleamed with a hint of joy, seemingly happy that Chu Feng received the Demon Slaying Sword.

His gaze then shifted to Han Xiao Ying and Han Shuang, "The swords you two have obtained might be slightly inferior, but the Heavenly Gang and Earth Fiend swords are also exceptionally good. Join me in demon slaying as well. Otherwise, if we allow the five Ancient Demons below to invade the human world, it will once again lead to mass destruction of lives."

Under the dignified gaze of the old woodcutter, Han Xiao Ying and Han Shuang couldn’t help but nod in agreement.

The old woodcutter exuded a majestic righteousness that spanned the millennia.
