Chapter 394: Cut To The Chase, Not Battling, What Nonsense Are You Talking

Ling Xiao’s suggestion of teaming up against the strong had forced Xiao Lintian to reconsider his plan.

The group of empyrean walkers then began to discuss who this elixir field should belong to. However, after disputing it for a good while, they still could not come to a conclusion that could satisfy everyone.

This elixir field was way too precious.

Nobody was willing to let it go that easily.

“I’ve said it. I want half of it. The rest shall be distributed amongst the rest of you. Otherwise, I don’t care if you all team up and fight me. I’ll fight you guys if I need to. By then, who knows who’ll emerge victoriously?”

Xiao Lintian said ruthlessly.

The other few people did not look happy when they heard that.

“Half is too much.”

“I’m the strongest amongst everyone here. It’s only logical that I take the largest share.”

Xiao Lintian’s statement silenced everyone. Whoever was strongest should take the largest share was, truth be told, completely logical.

“Oh, the strongest takes the most?”

Right then, a cool voice was heard from afar.

“Naturally, yes.”

Xiao Lintian was still oblivious to the situation as he replied subconsciously. However, at the very next moment, his expression stiffened.

The rest of the empyrean walkers looked flabbergasted too.

Gasps of shock spread throughout the crowd of people as they looked toward their backs.

Nobody knew when the peerless young man in white robes had arrived at the elixir field, standing majestically behind the crowd of people.

“Chu Kuangren!”

Ling Xiao said his name out grimly. The remaining empyrean walkers were also staring at him with a frown and a bitter pain in their hearts.

“Why is this guy here?”

“How could the Sages in the outside world let him in here? They want us to compete for the Opportunity of Fortune with him? They’ve overestimated our capabilities.”

The empyrean walkers could only let out a bitter smile. This was especially true for Xiao Lintian, who looked like his soul had just departed his body as expressions of horror flashed past his eyes every now and then.

Back when they battled at the Empyrean Peak, Chu Kuangren had left too deep a psychological trauma in him. As the almighty Heavenly Golden Imperial Physique, he was struck down in just one hit by his adversary. Such a humiliating defeat was hard for him to grasp even to this day.

Chu Kuangren slowly walked toward the group of empyrean walkers.

The crowd knowingly parted a route for him.

Everybody looked at that white-robed figure with mixed emotions in their eyes. Some afraid, some worried, some motivated to be like him, while some revered him enthusiastically.

However, most of them felt helpless.

“If this guy is here, why else are we fighting?”

“Forget it, let’s just take this as a holiday trip then.”

“This is too depressing.”

Under everyone’s limelight, Chu Kuangren strode to the front of that elixir field. He smiled and said, “Whoever’s strongest gets to take the biggest share. I can concur with that, and with that said, I want the entirety of this elixir field!”

Then, Chu Kuangren lifted his hand and activated his Yin and Yang Ring.

Acres after acres of elixirs were siphoned into his ring.

This scene shocked every single empyrean walker. One of them, who could not hold it any longer, shouted at him, “Chu Kuangren, don’t go too overboard!”

Chu Kuangren did not pay heed to that person.

Seeing that he was ignored, this empyrean walker’s expression sank and charged towards Chu Kuangren in an attempt to stop him.

All Chu Kuangren did was gently wave one hand.

A bout of tremendous Daoist Rhyme instantly erupted. All the earth qi gathered into a Godly Mountain which struck out and slammed onto that empyrean walker’s body.

The almighty empyrean walker was rendered defenseless in the face of this one palm attack, and he was hurled into the air immediately

“Chu Kuangren, do you really intend to take this whole elixir field for yourself?”

“Don’t be too greedy!”

Xiao Lintian could not help but question him angrily.

Chu Kuangren stared back at him and said calmly, “Whoever’s strongest takes the largest share. Wasn’t that what you said? Why? Do you suddenly have any objections?”

“You…” Xiao Lintian was at a loss for words.

Yes, that was indeed what he had said earlier.

However, Chu Kuangren was taking the whole elixir field!!

“Ling Xiao, let’s have a go at him together.”

Xiao Lintian secretly sent a message to Ling Xiao and the others.

After that, he signaled them with his eyes.

‘It’s about time you showcase your tactic of teaming up against the strong!’

Ling Xiao silently stepped backward instead.

Team up against the strong?

It was more like getting wiped out in one hit.

“D*mn it!” Seeing that Ling Xiao had forfeited, Xiao Lintian could not help but curse and glared at Chu Kuangren unhappily.

He then glanced at the other people.

To his dismay, none of them was willing to step up.

All of them were very clear of Chu Kuangren’s strength. As for those who had not battled him before, they could also tell how bad the situation was just by witnessing that attack and the reaction from Ling Xiao and a few others. Hence, they were not willing to step up.

“Why? Do you want to fight me?”

Chu Kuangren said mockingly.

“D*mn you, Chu Kuangren. Don’t be so arrogant!” Xiao Lintian sneered coldly. Deep down, he felt incredibly flustered. All this time, he had been the only one who was arrogant toward others. Yet after meeting Chu Kuangren, he had been embarrassed by the latter so many times.

These were words that other people used to say to him, and now, he was the one who was saying them back to Chu Kuangren instead. This feeling frustrated him to no end.

“Just cut to the chase. Are you battling me or not?!”

Chu Kuangren flashed him a cold gaze and yelled out.

The yell unleashed his valiant battle intent.

It frightened all empyrean walkers at the scene so much that they stumbled backward. Xiao Lintian also could not help but stammer.

Under Chu Kuangren’s gaze, Xiao Lintian could only feel the eerie chill seep through the soles of his feet and up to his head. His scalp went numb.

“I-I’m… not battling…”

Xiao Lintian said through gritted teeth. His voice was trembling.

The rest of the empyrean walkers looked at Xiao Lintian sympathetically. After all, he was a Heavenly Golden Imperial Physique, one of the strongest among the group of empyrean walkers. However, in front of Chu Kuangren, he had lost even the courage of waging a battle against him.

This was all too ironic.

“If you’re not battling me, then why all this nonsense?”

Chu Kuangren smacked his lips and retracted his battle intent.

That statement made Xiao Lintian so scared that he could not rebut a single word.

Ling Xiao and the others were more sympathetic towards him now.

“Sigh, you knew you can’t beat Chu Kuangren, but you still chose to get on his nerves. You brought this upon yourself.”

“Tsk tsk. The great Heavenly Golden Imperial Physique was yelled at like a dog, and he doesn’t even dare to retaliate. Who would believe it?”

The group of empyrean walkers was amazed at how things had turned out. Very soon, Chu Kuangren had absorbed all the elixirs into his Yin and Yang Ring.

“See you next time, my fellow friends.”

Chu Kuangren even bade farewell to everyone before he left.

Everyone could barely muster a smile.

‘What a jerk.’

‘What do you mean ‘see you’? It’s best that we never see you again.’

After parting with Chu Kuangren, the people continued to scour for stuff inside the Imperial Palace.

Since it was the place of residence for an Emperor, who had left behind quite a few Opportunities of Fortune, it did not take long before the people discovered a new Opportunity of Fortune!

It was a giant stone tablet.

Mysterious Dao patterns were carved atop this stone tablet, forming a picture. In the picture, a person was yelling to the sky with his fists held high, and a terrifying Daoist Rhyme flowed within it.

There were also several rows of small letters on the stone tablet.

‘Strike this stone tablet with the technique illustrated on it, and you shall receive the Opportunity of Fortune!’

Everybody’s eyes lit up when they realized what it was.

“What this stone tablet meant is that we need to apprehend the cultivation technique written on it and then use the technique to obtain the Opportunity of Fortune inside it.”

“The technique illustrated on this stone tablet seems like some sort of fist technique. Hah, fist techniques are my forte. This Opportunity of Fortune shall belong to me!”

“Pfft, it’s still not certain who can gain insight from this tablet.”

The people began to sit in front of the stone tablet to study it.

Then, they realized that the cultivation technique recorded on this stone tablet was very mythical. It was even more profound than most other Sage Ruler Techniques.

“I’m afraid this is an Emperor Technique!”

Ling Xiao shook his head and said.

“Yes, this is indeed an Emperor Technique.”

At that moment, a voice rang into Ling Xiao’s ear. Upon hearing this voice, his expression froze, and he helplessly turned his head around to look at the person.

“Brother Chu, why are you here again?”
