Chapter 265 Truce
"How are you so strong?" the Jun Ancestor's face was filled with disbelief.
"Effort. I put in a lot of effort the last year." Liu Feng said, touching the scar on his right eye.
This was a scar that he could easily heal with his Qi, and make it disappear in an instant. But he didn't. He wanted to keep it, to remind him that he still wasn't strong enough, and that no matter how strong he got, there would always be a bigger peak ahead.
The Jun ancestor retreated and looked at Liu Feng with apprehension.
"To think that someone like you would fight a mere junior. Is this what the Lush Green sect does? Bully the young?"
"It is clearly what you are doing. I mean, I am younger than your dear junior. So don't be such a hypocrite. Remember, power speaks. Now that you know which one of us is stronger, why don't we have another bout and see who can come out alive?" a golden glow about him resurfaced. This was the glow of someone who was confident in himself.
This was the glow of the Undefeatable Dao. What happened during the last year was not battle. It was training. And he wasn't defeated, technically, and hence the Undefeatable Dao festered, and only made him stronger.
The Jun ancestor looked at the old men, not sure of what he was going to do now.
Spark!
Suddenly, a light enveloped the entire Lush Green Sect. A translucent barrier was created, and it spread to create a dome all around the sect.
Three old women emerged from the sect, clearly unfazed by this barrier, and looked at their foes.
"So it is true. We are being attacked." the old woman in front was someone that Liu Feng recognized. It was the great elder of the sect.
As for the other two, Liu Feng did not know who they were, but they sure weren't in the Soul Evolution Stage.
Comparing this sect to his own, the Sky Heavens sect was much stronger than the Lush Green sect, and it wasn't even number one in the kingdom of Tiandu!
Liu Feng looked at the new arrivals and smiled. With this, they had four Soul Evolution Stage experts versus four of the opponents'. And one of them was clearly inferior to Liu Feng.
Seeing the unfavourable situation, the old man in the very back hesitated.
"I came here worried that the Lush Green sect was housing a criminal. But it feels like a simple misunderstanding. I should take my leave." he said, trying to turn around.
The face of the Jun ancestor turned ugly. If even one person left, then slowly, the house of cards that he built would fall apart. This was just a temporary alliance that was quite shaky, and the only thing that kept that going was that the Lush Green sect was a piece of fat and delicious meat.
But no one would risk their lives for this!
"Hold on just there." Liu Feng called out.
The three women who just arrived glared at Liu Feng with a vengeance. Someone was about to leave, why would they stop him?
They just arrived, so they didn't know the story.
"Calm down, boy. You don't know what you are saying." one of the women that Liu Feng didn't recognize coldly spat out.
Liu Feng disregarded her completely and glared at the old man who was planning on leaving.
The old man froze, looking at Liu Feng with fear. The one with the most power here wasn't Bing Yuxin anymore. It was Liu Feng, the one who killed Gao Huan, and the one who came out ahead in the bout with the Jun ancestor.
He was the one who tipped the scales, so the old man had to listen to him.
"The Lush Green sect was forced to activate their protecting array, were they not? Don't you think that it is a little unfair for them? They have to go through the expense of activating their protecting array because of you? No doubt, they used a lot of spirit stones. I think that all of you together should give them some compensation. What do you say, sect leader? How much is the right amount?" Liu Feng looked at Bing Yuxin.
"To active the sect protecting array, it takes ten high grade spirit stones! I think that it is only fair that they should pay it back to us," she nodded.
Liu Feng smiled.
"Do you really want to risk it? If your sect loses you, then they will lose a valuable Soul Evolution expert. And now, you become vulnerable to attack. I mean, that Gao Huan. His sect should be weak now. Who can stop anyone from attacking that sect and taking their treasures away?" Liu Feng looked at the Jun ancestor separately.
The sect was one thing, but a family was different. In a family, everyone was, well, family. And every member put the family above self. That was the rule they lived by.
And now, if anything happened to the Jun ancestor, the Jun family would be in big trouble.
"You are right, young master. This is time that we compromise. This is just a lapse in judgement that I made. In fact, that boy must really learn how to understand defeat." the Jun ancestor changed his attitude the whole one eighty degrees.
The Great elder and her sidekicks looked at what happened with wide open mouths. They couldn't understand what was happening in the slightest.
"Then please grant the sect the compensation that it deserves. Ten spirit stones from each of you. High grade, I will not negotiate any further. Just remember, my friend with me is stronger than me in many ways." Liu Feng beamed.
"We will pay!" the third old man sighed and said.
