Chapter 354 - Escape
Chapter 354 Escape
As the auction progressed, the number of people in the hall on the first floor decreased.
The things behind them also became more and more precious.
By the time Zhou Feng and Leng Maner departed, only a few people were left on the first floor.
Zhou Feng didn’t want to know what happened next.
Anyway, it had nothing to do with him.
On the contrary, Celestial Lake City was like a powder keg with so many cultivators gathered there.
Even with the suppression of the spirit-locking formation, it was still very dangerous.
As such, he planned to spend all the Spirit Stones in exchange for some supplies and leave Celestial Lake City.
Zhou Feng didn’t forget that he had killed two Jade Sword disciples.
Although this matter had not been exposed, it was still a hidden danger.
If he continued to stay in Celestial Lake City, wouldn’t he be jumping into a trap?
Thinking of this, he suddenly felt that he was a little stupid.
Why was he thinking of settling down in Celestial Lake City?
This spirit-locking formation would instantly become his life-threatening talisman if there were anything wrong.
After thinking about it, Zhou Feng still felt that it was best to find a place in the wilderness to settle down.
‘It is best to be stable. My lifespan is longer than ordinary people’s, so there is no need to take risks.’
After contemplating, he decided to sublet the house he had just rented.
Then he brought Leng Maner to the exchanging hall and found many spirit items.
Among them, there were materials he could use to make spirit incense.
Leng Maner also exchanged some materials to nurture Gus.
Zhou Feng found an opportunity and said to Leng Maner, “I’m leaving Celestial Lake City!”
“So soon?”
Obviously, Leng Maner was a bit surprised.
Celestial Lake City was very lively now as many cultivators had gathered together. This huge event was a good opportunity to earn resources and exchange information.
Logically speaking, Zhou Feng should at least wait for a few days before leaving. Why was he in such a hurry?
“I feel that something is wrong, so it’s better to leave first.”
All sorts of mysterious tricks appeared in Zhou Feng’s mind.
Killing people and stealing treasures in an auction was a classic scene.
Actually, it was quite reasonable as cultivators carried terrifying power. Without strong rules and restrictions deterring them, they naturally had some thoughts when facing all kinds of spirit objects, especially those that could raise one’s cultivation.
As the saying went, ‘The heart of a person with a sharp weapon is filled with killing intent.’
When a person had extraordinary power, they would harbor many greedy thoughts.
In such a state, it was better to stay far away.
“Is that so?”
After Zhou Feng spoke, Leng Maner also had the intention to leave.
“Oh right, I have an aura-concealing technique here. It’s yours. I hope you don’t
die!”
Zhou Feng knew that Leng Maner also had her own goals and would definitely not follow him.
Moreover, he was more used to wandering alone.
Therefore, after hesitating for a moment, he handed the Aquamarine Breathing Technique he had obtained in the Southern Sea to Leng Maner.
Although this Aquamarine Breathing Technique was not comparable to the Longevity Breathing Technique, it was still an aura-concealing technique.
Leng Maner should be much safer with the Aquamarine Breathing Technique.
“Remember to use the Aquamarine Breathing Technique on a daily basis to avoid some petty pests.”
Perhaps because they were about to leave, Zhou Feng spoke more than usual.
He naturally did not wish for his few friends to die. Otherwise, he would be lonely if he didn’t have any friends in this world.
“Got it!”
Looking at Chatterbox Zhou Feng, Leng Maner pretended to listen carefully.
“That’s about it. As for the Spirit Stones you owe me, you can pay them back when you see me in the future.
“If there are no accidents, my final destination should be the Central Plains.”
Zhou Feng gave a few last words and prepared to turn around and leave.
He wasn’t a wishy-washy person.
If he said he was going to leave, he would naturally do it cleanly.
In any case, he had already dealt with all the miscellaneous matters.
“The Central Plains…”
Leng Maner looked at Zhou Feng’s back and set a goal in her heart.
Just like that, Zhou Feng and Leng Maner separated again. They separated very cleanly and didn’t say anything else.
Leng Maner also listened to Zhou Feng’s advice and left Celestial Lake City at the first possible moment.
Zhou Feng left Celestial Lake City very quietly and even changed his identity before doing so.
This was to prevent others from finding out, especially Jiang Yi.
This person had gotten close to him for no reason and had given him the Whale King Musk.
There was definitely something fishy about this, so Zhou Feng could not allow Jiang Yi to find out he would leave Celestial Lake City.
As he slowly moved away from Celestial Lake City, the uneasiness in his heart slowly calmed down.
‘Sure enough! Celestial Lake City is a powder keg!’
Zhou Feng heaved a sigh of relief. The reason Celestial Lake City so decisively was due to his passive Battle Instinct.
After the auction, he had always felt that something was wrong. His senses kept warning him that Celestial Lake City was not a place to stay for long.
That was why Zhou Feng had made this choice.
“Big Yellow, let’s speed up!”
He looked at the map briefly and asked Big Yellow to speed up.
According to the map, the Celestial Lake was still quite far away.
He had to reach the Celestial Lake before dark.
If nothing unexpected happened, he should be able to settle down at the Celestial Lake for some time.
After receiving his order, Big Yellow appeared to be exhilarated.
He started to run as fast as he could. He could leap more than ten meters with his two-meter-tall body with just a light leap.
There was also his soft fur. As a mount, Big Yellow wasn’t inferior to other exotic beasts.
At this time, Zhou Feng also felt how great it was to have a mount.
The wild wind whistled by his ears, and the surrounding scenery rapidly changed.
This feeling was too great! Now that he had a mount, he was only lacking a few spiritual artifacts. He could be considered a standard cultivator!
While Zhou Feng was in a good mood…
As expected, something big had happened in Celestial Lake City, and the spirit-locking formation was suddenly activated.
Waves of terrifying aura broke through the spirit-locking formation.
“You guys actually dare to cause trouble in Celestial Lake City!?”
“Quickly leave the Dragonification Fruit behind!”
“Hmph! How can a mere formation stop me?”
“Old man! You’re actually so Shameless! A dignifiedDragon Transformation expertAh!”
Terrifying ripples spread throughout the entire city.
One could tell from the words just now that someone in the Dragon Transformation realm was making a move. No wonder the spirit-locking formation was activated.
Although Celestial Lake City’s spirit-locking formation was powerful, it could even suppress those in the Divine Ability realm-it was difficult to suppress those in the Dragon Transformation realm. After stepping into the Dragon Transformation realm, one’s body was like a carp turning into a dragon.
Ordinary formations were unable to suppress them. If there weren’t cultivators of the same level, it would be impossible to stop them with just some Divine Ability cultivators.
Fortunately, Celestial Lake City’s Dragon Transformation expert also made a move.
However, the entire Celestial Lake City was already in chaos. Seeing this scene, some vagabond cultivators waiting for the opportunity to make a move, took action.
In any case, these vagabond cultivators had rotten lives. It was better to take this opportunity to plunder ruthlessly.
As long as they succeeded, they would not need to worry about the problem of cultivation resources for a long time in the future.
Fortunately, Zhou Feng had left Celestial Lake City early. Otherwise, he would have been implicated.
No one had expected that Celestial Lake City, which had been stable for such a long time, would fall into chaos so easily.
