215: snatch
"Junior Brother Gu, Junior Sister Mu, Junior Sister Qin, Junior Sister Huyan, let's go up and intercept them!!"
"Junior Brother Chu, your cultivation is the lowest. Once we block them, you go and pull out the enlightenment tea tree and put it into your Storage Ring."
Seeing the disciples of the Seven Great Emperor-level Factions already reaching for the mature enlightenment tea leaves,
Night Owl signaled Gu Chen and his companions, as well as the few Saint King youths from the Tianbao Chamber of Commerce, and they rushed to intercept those disciples.
Only Chu Feng, who was at the Peak Heavenly Venerable level, was left behind to complete the task of seizing the enlightenment tea tree.
"Arrogant!!"
"Mere Saints dare to come and intercept us? I think you are looking for death!"
Seeing Night Owl and the others attacking, the disciples of the Seven Great Emperor-level Factions who were preparing to grab the mature enlightenment tea leaves looked at them with contempt and launched an attack.
"Hmph, who is really looking for death?"
Night Owl took out his bloodthirsty sword and released the Slaughter Mist, enveloping these three disciples of the Seven Great Emperor-level Factions.
"Ahhh!!"
In just a few breaths of time, these three disciples of the Seven Great Emperor-level Factions had fallen within the Slaughter Mist.
When Night Owl withdrew the Slaughter Mist,
these three people had vanished without a trace, as if they had never appeared at all.
"Hiss, what is going on? Where did those three go?"
Seeing that there were no other figures around Night Owl and the others,
the group of Seven Great Emperor-level Factions disciples who were still fighting all ceased their movements and looked at Night Owl in horror.
When they fought over the enlightenment tea leaves, they usually engaged in group battles first, letting those who could free up their hands go grab the leaves.
But now, the three people who were grabbing the enlightenment tea leaves had been enveloped by Night Owl's red mist, and after just a few screams, they were nowhere to be seen.
One had to know that those three were ranked in the top thirty or forty among Saint Kings, so being instantly killed by Night Owl like that was truly terrifying.
"Fellow Daoist from the Tianbao Chamber of Commerce, aren't you being too ruthless?"
"That's right, they were only grabbing the enlightenment tea leaves, why did you have to kill them?"
Among the group, two handsome youths looked at Night Owl viciously and said.
Previously, they did not believe that Night Owl was the one who killed Hua Hong.
But judging from the strength Night Owl had just displayed, it was highly likely that Hua Hong did indeed die at his hands; that rumor was actually true.
Now that Night Owl could so easily kill a Saint King Peak, he was a major enemy to all of them. They had to eliminate Night Owl before they could compete for the enlightenment tea tree.
"Heh, they wanted to kill me, so why can't I kill them?" Night Owl sneered as he looked at the two youths.
Although Gu Chen and his companions did not speak, they stared intently at the group, ready to go all out to intercept them and buy time for Chu Feng to pull out the enlightenment tea tree.
As long as they seized the enlightenment tea tree, they would have completed their task to Perfection.
"You're lying! They never intended to kill you. You just killed them arbitrarily for the sake of the enlightenment tea leaves. How can we tolerate you?"
One of the two youths shouted to the surrounding disciples of the Seven Great Emperor-level Factions: "Fellow Daoists, this person from the Tianbao Chamber of Commerce kills indiscriminately. Let us eliminate the Tianbao Chamber of Commerce first, and then plot for the enlightenment tea leaves, how about that?"
Upon hearing the youth's proposal,
the disciples of the Seven Great Emperor-level Factions pondered for a moment and all agreed to the youth's suggestion.
After all, with Night Owl possessing such combat power, they could not feel at ease unless they eliminated him first.
"Fellow Daoists, let's attack!!"
The youth shouted and took the lead in charging towards Night Owl and the others.
The remaining disciples of the Seven Great Emperor-level Factions did not hesitate and swarmed towards Night Owl and Gu Chen and his companions.
"Junior Brother Gu, Junior Sister Mu, I'll hold off half of them first. You two try to shoulder as much of the rest as you can."
Seeing the group charging over, Night Owl once again released the Slaughter Mist, enveloping more than thirty Saint King Peak cultivators from the Seven Great Emperor-level Factions.
With so many Saint King Peak cultivators from Emperor-level powers, it would be difficult for him to finish them off in a short time, even within the Slaughter Mist.
"Don't worry, Senior Brother Ye, we will shoulder more of them."
Upon hearing this, Gu Chen and the others
took out their weapons one after another, each taking on about ten people.
Only then did they let Qin Fei'er, Huyan Xiaoyao, and the few youths from the Tianbao Chamber of Commerce handle the rest.
"Boom! Bang!"
The entire valley began to shake under the fighting of the group.
Taking advantage of the moment everyone was tied up, Chu Feng lunged toward the enlightenment tea tree.
He unleashed a massive palm of Spiritual Qi and pulled the entire enlightenment tea tree upward.
"What are you doing? Stop immediately!!"
"You're crazy, you're crazy! You must be insane. This is an enlightenment tea tree jointly managed by the Eight Families. You actually want to pull it out? Are you not afraid of being besieged by our seven families?"
Seeing Chu Feng pulling at the enlightenment tea tree while everyone else was being held off, the disciples of the Seven Great Emperor-level Factions who were fighting Gu Chen and his companions were dumbfounded.
The Enlightenment Secret Realm had been jointly managed by the eight major powers for tens of thousands of years, and there had never been a case where any faction dared to have designs on the main body of the enlightenment tea tree.
Because no matter which faction took the main body, they would face a siege from the other seven factions; this was tantamount to self-destruction.
"Hehe, you say stop, so we should stop? To tell you the truth, we came specifically for this enlightenment tea tree." Seeing that Chu Feng had already pulled out half of the enlightenment tea tree, Gu Chen grinned and said.
Mu Xueqing and the other two women were also smiling as they held off those who wanted to rush over to stop Chu Feng.
Only the four Saint King Peak youths from the Tianbao Chamber of Commerce were wiping cold sweat from their foreheads while fighting.
It was only when they arrived at the valley that they realized Huyan Xiaoyao and the others were actually planning to target the main body of the enlightenment tea tree.
Although they didn't know why the people Huyan Xiaoyao brought wanted to do this, as Saint Kings trained by the Tianbao Chamber of Commerce, they had only absolute obedience.
Even if this decision was wrong, they had to execute it firmly.
