A Show of Force? Leng Cangqiong's Unusual Behavior
Within the Cultivation Alliance, it is forbidden to attack one's own people.
Even if there is a mistake, it should be handled by the Enforcement Hall.
That's why the cultivator surnamed Zhang was shocked by Zhuo Lian's actions.
Of course, the most important point is that he is still a member of Vice Alliance Leader Leng's group.
Zhuo Lian coldly looked at the Nascent Soul figure:
"The Alliance Leader's orders supersede those of the Enforcement Hall. You surely remember this Alliance rule, right? You have openly defied your superior and disrespected the Alliance Leader, so you deserve to die!"
Zhuo Lian acted without hesitation not because Chen Feng was the acting leader of the alliance.
It was the woman behind Chen Feng.
With that woman around, even Lu Linyuan wouldn't dare touch Chen Feng, so what is Vice Alliance Leader Leng?
Just then, a cunning voice suddenly rang out.
"We shouldn't waste such a fine Nascent Soul."
Having said that, the cunning beast opened its blood-red maw and sucked at the Nascent Soul figure.
The terrifying suction force instantly enveloped the Nascent Soul figure.
The Nascent Soul figure sensed the suction force and its expression immediately changed drastically. "Save me!"
However, the other members of the cultivation alliance around them did not make any move.
Although they had just spoken up for the cultivator surnamed Zhang.
But that's only because the other party is a member of Vice Alliance Leader Leng's faction.
But in the current situation, if they intervene, they will undoubtedly offend Chen Feng.
They wouldn't do something so thankless and exhausting.
Soon, the Nascent Soul soul was sucked into the mouth of the cunning demon and swallowed.
"The soul of Nascent Soul Cultivator tastes so good."
Seeing the satisfied expression on Zhengjiao's face, the cultivators in the arena all felt a chill run down their spines.
Who wouldn't shudder at the sight of someone swallowing a nascent Nascent Soul whole?
Chen Feng then looked at Elder Xie and asked, "Elder Xie, is the teleportation array ready?"
For Chen Feng, this was just a minor incident.
Killing this person would offend that Vice Alliance Leader Leng, but he could simply resign as alliance leader.
Anyway, Lu Linyuan forced him to take this position, so if the Cultivation Alliance doesn't accept him, he can just leave.
Old Xie quickly replied, "Everything is ready, we can set off at any time."
Chen Feng nodded. "Okay, let's go then."
Chen Feng immediately headed towards the teleportation array, and the others quickly followed.
As the teleportation array activated, Chen Feng and the others disappeared from it.
Qu Jing then said:
"Sect Leader Chen's trip will likely not be too smooth."
Old Xie smiled and said:
"Our Sect Leader Chen is no ordinary person; the Cultivation Alliance is likely to cause quite a stir this time."
Qu Jing asked, "Elder Xie, do you think the Cultivation Alliance will agree to let Sect Leader Chen serve as the vice leader?"
Old Xie thought for a moment and then said:
"This matter was decided by Lu Linyuan. Since he made this decision, he must have his own reasons. Those old monsters in the Cultivation Alliance all listen to Lu Linyuan."
"Furthermore, you forgot the most important thing: this position as alliance leader wasn't something Sect Leader Chen insisted on taking; the Cultivation Alliance invited him to take it."
Qu Jing's expression softened upon hearing what Elder Xie said.
Cultivation Alliance, inside the teleportation hall.
This place is filled with various formations.
As a transcendent force on Canglan Star, the Cultivation Alliance possesses a vast number of teleportation arrays, allowing access to almost every part of the planet.
Some teleportation arrays can even take you directly to the headquarters of certain factions.
At this moment, many people had gathered in the teleportation hall, with Huang Ting and Xu Qian leading the way.
Behind the two of them followed a group of people, all of whom were powerful figures from the Cultivation Alliance.
Among them were seven who were at the half-step Spirit Transformation stage and more than a dozen who were Nascent Soul Cultivator.
"Senior brother, they should be arriving soon," Xu Qian said.
They came here, of course, to welcome Chen Feng.
When Lu Linyuan handed the Cultivation Alliance token to Chen Feng, he had already notified the Cultivation Alliance.
Therefore, the Cultivation Alliance knew that Chen Feng was the acting leader.
Huang Ting nodded. "Judging from the time, they should be arriving soon."
Xu Qian turned around and glanced at the crowd behind her, her face showing worry as she said:
"Neither Vice Alliance Leader Leng nor the others came. It seems they are dissatisfied with Fellow Daoist Chen's appointment as Vice Alliance Leader."
Huang Ting snorted coldly:
"What could they possibly be dissatisfied with? Fellow Daoist Chen's status was personally appointed by the Alliance Leader; unless they want to betray the Alliance."
Xu Qian said, "But not a single Spirit Transformation has appeared this time."
Upon hearing this, Huang Ting's face turned grim.
The Cultivation Alliance certainly has more than one Spirit Transformation cultivator; besides Lu Linyuan, there are five other Nascent Spirit Transformation.
But when Chen Feng arrived today, none of the five Nascent Spirit Transformation appeared.
Huang Ting said:
"It's alright. Elder Jin and Elder Yin obey the Alliance Leader's orders unconditionally. They didn't come because they're in seclusion. With the two of them here, no one would dare to cause trouble."
Elder Jin and Elder Yin are two late-stage Spirit Transformation cultivators in the Cultivation Alliance, and are the two strongest cultivators in the alliance besides Lu Linyuan.
However, both of them were nearing the end of their lives and were mostly in seclusion, rarely appearing in public.
Just then, several people walked in from outside the teleportation hall.
The leader was an elderly man wearing a red robe.
He possessed the cultivation level of a half-step Spirit Transformation cultivator, and the people beside him were also dressed in red robes.
Upon seeing this group of people appear, the expressions of those who had come with Huang Ting all changed slightly.
The long red robe represents the Enforcement Hall in the Cultivation Alliance.
Huang Ting looked at the old man walking at the front and asked, "Master Fang, what brings you here?"
The old man, known as Master Fang, said coldly:
"I received information that someone violated the alliance rules and brutally murdered a Nascent Soul Cultivator within the alliance, so I specifically brought people here to capture him."
Master Fang showed Huang Ting absolutely no respect.
Although Huang Ting was Lu Linyuan's most valued junior, the Enforcement Hall held a very high position within the Cultivation Alliance.
"Breaking the alliance rules? Who is it?" Huang Ting frowned even more deeply.
Hall Master Fang said calmly, "Deacon Zhuo Lian."
This revelation surprised many in the crowd, who clearly hadn't expected Zhuo Lian to kill one of their own.
Killing a fellow disciple without authorization is no small matter.
Huang Ting wanted to ask something more, but just then, a formation in the distance lit up.
The figures of Chen Feng and the others were revealed from the formation.
Upon seeing Chen Feng appear, Huang Ting immediately stepped forward and bowed, saying, "Huang Ting greets the Acting Alliance Leader!"
The cultivators following Huang Ting all bowed in unison. "Greetings, Acting Alliance Leader!"
The cultivators who came with Huang Ting were all from Huang Ting's faction. Since Huang Ting recognized Chen Feng, they naturally recognized Chen Feng as well.
Master Fang glanced at Chen Feng, hesitated for a moment, and then also bowed:
"Greetings, Acting Alliance Leader."
Chen Feng glanced at everyone in the room, then fixed his gaze on Huang Ting. He smiled and said, "Fellow Daoist Huang, you don't need to be so polite."
Back when they were in the Void Realm, Huang Ting had specifically reminded him of this.
Moreover, even after the other party guessed his identity, they did not inform on him.
After returning to Canglan Star, Huang Ting gave him a lot of information.
Therefore, Chen Feng had a very good impression of Huang Ting.
Just then, several cultivators from the Enforcement Hall suddenly surrounded Zhuo Lian.
Then he threw several chains at Zhuo Lian.
Faced with the flying chains, Zhuo Lian, despite being Nascent Soul Great Perfection, was unable to resist and was bound by the chains in an instant.
This sudden turn of events caught everyone off guard.
Zhuo Lian kept her head down and remained silent, seemingly having anticipated this situation.
Chen Feng then turned his gaze to Hall Master Fang in the distance.
Facing Chen Feng's gaze, Hall Master Fang said in a cold voice:
"Zhuo Lian attacked a fellow disciple without authorization. According to the alliance rules, she needs to be escorted to the Enforcement Hall for questioning."
Upon hearing this, Zheng Jiao, who was standing nearby, immediately became restless:
"Old man, what are you saying? It wasn't her who killed that person, it was me! I was the one who swallowed that Nascent Soul!"
Zhengjiao's words caused everyone's expression to change.
Master Fang's gaze sharpened, then he stared at the cunning beast:
"Since you've put it that way, then please come with us."
As he spoke, Master Fang threw a chain directly at Zheng Jiao.
The chain was extremely strange; as soon as it was thrown out, everyone felt the surrounding spiritual energy being sealed off.
This is a special treasure of the Enforcement Hall called the Locking Yuan Chain.
Anyone below the half-step Spirit Transformation who is chained will have their entire spiritual power sealed off.
This treasure was specially crafted by the previous leader of the Cultivation Alliance.
But just as the chains were about to fly towards the cunning beast...
One hand, however, grasped the chain directly in its grasp.
Runes immediately began to flash on the surface of the chains, but once grasped by this hand, the chains could not be moved an inch.
The one who made the move was naturally Chen Feng.
Zhengjiao immediately launched into a tirade against Hall Master Fang:
"You old bastard, how dare you ambush me!"
If Chen Feng hadn't intervened and stopped the chains, he probably would have been bound by them too.
Because when Zheng Jiao discovered the chains flying towards him, he was unable to mobilize his spiritual power.
Master Fang squinted at Chen Feng, who was gripping the chains:
"Acting Alliance Leader, what do you mean by this?"
Master Fang was extremely shocked; this was the first time he had ever seen someone block the Locking Yuan Chains with their bare hands.
Even a half-step Spirit Transformation cultivator couldn't do that.
Because the Locking Yuan Chain is made from a material called Sealing Spirit Stone.
The moment a cultivator comes into contact with it, their spiritual energy is immediately suppressed.
Chen Beijing, however, managed to grab the chain with just one hand, which astonished Hall Master Fang.
Chen Feng looked at Hall Master Fang and said coldly:
"What do you mean? He's my spirit beast, is it your place to catch him?"
After saying that, Chen Feng reached out with his right hand and grabbed at Hall Master Fang from a distance.
A terrifying surge of spiritual energy from heaven and earth immediately converged from all directions!
The protective array within the teleportation hall was automatically activated.
Sensing the terrifying spiritual energy gathering from all around, Hall Master Fang's expression changed.
He immediately pulled out a red short blade from his body and slashed it in front of him.
The spiritual energy of heaven and earth that had gathered was directly cut apart by the red light emitted from the red short blade.
This red dagger was clearly an Postnatal spiritual treasure!
After breaking through the seal of the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, Hall Master Fang felt a sense of relief.
But the next second, his expression changed drastically!
Because Chen Feng had appeared in front of him without him even noticing.
Fang, the hall master, was about to swing his short blade, but Chen Feng was not about to give him the chance.
Chen Feng grabbed Fang Tangzhu by the neck with one hand.
A terrifying power was instantly released from Chen Feng's hand, and Fang Tangzhu immediately felt as if a demon god had grabbed his throat.
He dared not make any further moves.
The force transmitted from the opponent's arm was too strong, and his protective aura shattered the moment they made contact.
When Chen Feng Nascent Soul Late Stage, he still needed to use Postnatal spiritual treasures to deal with half-step Spirit Transformation cultivators.
But now that he has reached the Nascent Soul Great Perfection, half-step Spirit Transformation cultivators are no longer worth considering in his eyes.
He was even confident he could fight a Nascent Spirit Transformation stage monster.
The others in the room were all shocked to see Chen Feng subdue Hall Master Fang with a single move.
Who is Master Fang?
That's the head of the Enforcement Hall.
Even among those at the half-step Spirit Transformation, he was a top-tier existence, but he had no ability to resist Chen Beijing at all.
Upon seeing their leader subdued, the other cultivators of the Enforcement Hall immediately surrounded Chen Feng Chen Feng, watching him warily.
Master Fang dared not move. He looked at Chen Feng and said:
"Chen Beijing, what do you mean by this?"
Chen Feng didn't speak, but instead lifted Hall Master Fang into the air.
With Chen Feng gripping his neck, Master Fang's face immediately turned red. He felt that if Chen Feng exerted any force, his head would be severed from his body.
Huang Ting quickly came to Chen Feng's side and whispered:
"Fellow Daoist Chen, this man cannot be killed; he is the head of the Enforcement Hall."
Huang Ting's forehead was covered in cold sweat; he hadn't expected Chen Feng to make a move so directly.
He knew Chen Feng's personality very well. Others might be wary of Hall Master Fang's status, but this man wouldn't be.
They dared to kill even Jiang Yunchen of the Jiang Clan, let alone a hall master of the Cultivation Alliance.
Chen Feng looked at Hall Master Fang and said:
"I had Zhuo Lian kill that person. Do you have a problem with that?"
Upon hearing Chen Feng's words, Hall Master Fang's face turned extremely ugly. As the Hall Master of the Enforcement Hall, when had he ever been so humiliated?
He said in a deep voice:
"Even if you are the acting leader of the alliance, you do not have the right to kill cultivators within the alliance without authorization. Our Enforcement Hall always acts impartially!"
Upon hearing this, Chen Feng immediately laughed, "What a fine example of upholding justice! Then let me ask you, what should be done if someone disrespects the Alliance Leader?"
Xu Qian, who was standing nearby, immediately added:
"The position of the alliance leader is paramount; anyone who dares to disrespect the alliance leader can be killed on the spot!"
Upon hearing this, Hall Master Fang's expression immediately turned ugly.
This alliance rule does exist, but deep down he never truly considered Chen Feng as the alliance leader.
What qualifications does a Nascent Soul Cultivator have to be the leader of their cultivation alliance?
Just then, a strong and powerful male voice came from outside the main hall:
Why is it so lively today?
A middle-aged man with a dignified appearance, dressed in a black and gold robe, walked in.
The moment the man stepped into the main hall, an aura of Spirit Transformation level filled the space.
Upon seeing this person appear, all the cultivators from the cultivation alliance immediately bowed in respect.
"Greetings, Vice Alliance Leader Leng!"
The newcomer was none other than Leng Cangqiong, the vice leader of the Cultivation Alliance.
Leng Cangqiong can be said to be the most powerful person in the Cultivation Alliance besides Lu Linyuan.
Although he was only in charge of internal affairs of the Cultivation Alliance, he held extremely high prestige within the alliance.
When Lu Linyuan was cultivating, Leng Cangqiong would handle the affairs within the alliance.
Everyone in the arena bowed to Leng Cangqiong, except for Chen Feng and Zheng Jiao, who remained unmoved.
When Hall Master Fang saw Leng Cangqiong approaching, he immediately breathed a sigh of relief and quickly said:
"Vice Alliance Leader, this Chen Beijing has abducted cultivators from our Cultivation Alliance. He..."
However, before Hall Master Fang could finish speaking, Leng Cangqiong interrupted him:
"Hall Master Fang, you're supposed to be the Hall Master of the Enforcement Hall, how can you not understand any rules at all!"
After saying this, Leng Cangqiong bowed to Chen Feng;
Leng Cangqiong greets the Acting Alliance Leader.
Everyone present was surprised to see this.
No one expected that Leng Cangqiong would directly acknowledge Chen Feng Chen Feng even bow to him.
There were rumors within the alliance that Leng Cangqiong was extremely dissatisfied with the newly appointed acting leader.
They were already prepared to give Chen Feng Chen Feng hard time when he arrived.
But what's happening now is completely different from the rumors.
