Chapter 321: Chapter 321 Overwhelming Killing Intent

"Forget it then!"

"If you were just any woman, I wouldn’t even spare you a glance!"

Chu Feng had already strode into the room. Ordinary disciples only have two rooms, but living with Li Shishi, the beautiful Sword Slave, made for a cozy arrangement. The room was filled with the faint fragrance emanating from her.

The interior of the room was tidy and clean, with a simple and elegant setup. Chu Feng felt particularly comfortable and relaxed.

When he finished his bath and came out, he heard two girls talking outside.

Every time Chu Feng took a bath, Li Shishi would run outside to keep watch. She was very conservative and guarded around Chu Feng.

"Senior Sister Qin!"

As Chu Feng opened the door, he saw a charming face that seemed both innocently indignant and foolishly infatuated. It was none other than Qin Keren, the enchanting senior sister who had come to visit.

Every time he saw Senior Sister Qin, Chu Feng would become as nervous as a virgin boy.

Normally, Chu Feng would tease other pretty girls, but when it came to Senior Sister Qin, she always teased him.

However, Senior Sister Qin’s expression this time was very different from usual; her face was serious, and she barely forced a smile for him. Then her expression was overwhelmed by worry, stirring a heartache in those who saw it.

Chu Feng was extremely close with Senior Sister Qin, and couldn’t help but feel pained to see her like this.

With a hint of Evil Qi in his voice, he said, "Senior Sister, has someone bullied you? Don’t worry, take your time and tell me!" Chu Feng had been cursed with the Ancient Demon Death Curse and had also cultivated the Condensing Evil Secret Technique. In the Blood Sea on the sixth level of the Demon Suppression Tower, he had absorbed plenty of Evil Qi.

Naturally, his mentality had also been somewhat affected.

Upon facing certain stimuli, he could easily become angry and even develop a crazy Killing Intent.

"Disciple Brother, your strength seems to have improved a lot!" Senior Sister Qin, feeling the Evil Qi emanating from Chu Feng, shivered involuntarily.

You must know that she possessed the cultivation of a Great Sword Master.

Facing Chu Feng, an Advanced Sword Master, she actually felt fear and trepidation. This was truly frightening.

She had heard long ago that Chu Feng had fortuitously gained much in the Demon Suppression Tower, and now experiencing it firsthand, she had no reason to doubt it.

"Ever since he returned from the Sword Tomb, the Sect Master has been in seclusion healing his wounds. The Eldest Senior Brother has been by his side attending to him, and the situation is not optimistic," Senior Sister Qin said with a heavy tone. They deeply respected and treated their master like a father.

Now that the Sect Master was facing a disaster and in dire straits, she couldn’t help but have her eyes well up with tears.

From her swollen eyes, it was clear that she had cried a lot these days.

Though there were five disciples under Elder Shoumei, when faced with such a grave matter, no one could help. Perhaps only Chu Feng could bear the responsibility and support the Sect and also help Elder Shoumei tide over the crisis.

In truth, almost all the elders had been injured during the journey to the Sword Tomb. However, Elder Yang and Elder Huang, among others, were more cunning and knew better how to ensure their own safety, so they didn’t suffer such irreversible injuries.

"In the Sword Tomb, the Sect Master consumed a Soul Burning Elixir to save us, which led to his irreversible severe injury. However, I gave him a Second Grade Wood Rune Soul Reviving Elixir, which should at least stabilize his condition. It shouldn’t have gotten worse," she said.

Chu Feng furrowed his brow.

"The Sect Master must have burned Essence Blood and Divine Soul, which would definitely lead to a severe depletion of Qi-Blood and significantly reduce his lifespan. These past days, haven’t you tried to get some Elixirs or ingredients to restore Qi-Blood for the Sect Master’s recovery?"

Chu Feng asked.

Elixirs to extend life spans were extremely precious. Based on Senior Sister Qin and the three Senior Brothers’ abilities, it would be very difficult to obtain such Elixirs.

However, it’s not difficult to obtain some elixirs and food that replenish Qi and blood.

"We’ve managed to gather some, but as you know, the last time we nearly drained our resources to collect the materials for the alchemy of the Fake Meridian Pill to help you. Plus, later on, in preparation for the journey to the Sword Tomb, buying medicinal materials for alchemy, as well as life-saving items and weapons equipment, our entire fortune was exhausted."

"So we’re quite strapped for cash!"

Senior Sister Qin looked embarrassed, and was even filled with self-reproach and guilt.

Although each of them is a Steward or a protector, their family wealth isn’t that abundant. Since everyone needs to cultivate, a great deal of resources are consumed, and savings that can be put aside are very limited.

Without encountering a major disaster, there wouldn’t be too much impact.

Because each month they could still receive the stipends distributed by the Sect. Furthermore, Senior Sister Qin and Chen Daoqi both had decent alchemy skills, allowing them to make some extra money. So life wasn’t too tight.

"Let’s go, take me to see the Master!" Chu Feng earned a significant amount of Silver during this trip to the Sword Tomb.

Selling life-saving elixirs at a huge markup allowed him to make a fortune.

Master Shoumei needed a large amount of elixirs and food ingredients to replenish his Qi and blood, and these would certainly cost a good amount of Silver. If Senior Sisters and Senior Brothers couldn’t afford it, Chu Feng could.

Elder Shoumei was greatly indebted to him and had vigorously supported Chu Feng when he was preparing the Fake Meridian Pill.

Now it was time for Chu Feng to repay his Master’s kindness.

"Senior Sister Qin, logically speaking, as an Elder, Master is suffering from such a calamity. Doesn’t the Ten Thousand Sword Sect offer any assistance?"

"Even if they don’t, it shouldn’t be a problem to get an advance on a few months’ salary, right?"

Chu Feng asked as they walked.

"Ah, don’t mention it! We also thought of asking the Sect for help, but Elder Yang hampered our efforts, vigorously obstructing us. He said something about how the Master is already done for and not worth the Sect’s investment anymore. He also said the Sect’s cultivation resources are limited and must be reserved to cultivate the Sect’s genius disciples with all our might."

"We couldn’t take it and argued with him. Second Senior Brother was directly taken down and locked up in the Law Enforcement Hall. Third Senior Brother was also injured..."

Senior Sister Qin couldn’t help but shed tears again as she mentioned these things.

She must have suffered countless grievances these days. Elder Yang was truly detestable; it was bad enough he colluded with the Shangguan family, but he also kicked us while we were down, setting out to harm Elder Shoumei in his time of vulnerability.

"If I don’t avenge this insult, I swear I’m not human! Since all of you think my Master is finished, I will surely heal him and make you all regret your blindness," Chu Feng gritted his teeth with raging anger in his heart, filled with a killing intent towards Elder Yang and the others.

...

It didn’t take long for them to arrive at the place where Elder Shoumei was convalescing. He wasn’t in the Elder Hall, but in an ordinary alchemy room within the Alchemy Field.

When the wall falls, everybody pushes.

The misfortunes suffered by Elder Shoumei and the ostracism that ensued were infuriating and disheartening.

This was not the conduct befitting of a Great Sect.

Chu Feng also understood that with the Sect Master in seclusion and not dealing with affairs, many decisions were made by the Sect’s Elders. With Elder Yang causing trouble, jumping up and down, the other Elders surely turned a blind eye.

"Master!"

As Chu Feng entered the alchemy room and saw Elder Shoumei lying in bed, he looked even more aged.

All his hair had turned white, his complexion was dull, and he was in very poor health.

First Senior Brother Chen Daoqi was attending to the sickbed; Third Senior Brother Luo Mi had a bruised face and bandaged hands.
