Volume 1 Chapter 40: The Reversal of Heaven's Luck

  Although Jiang Feng said it wasn't him, in fact, it really wasn't Jiang Feng who did it. But who would believe that? They had all seen Jiang Feng's cultivation before and had already determined that it was Jiang Feng who did it.

  "Our seniors have obtained a large amount of elixir, their lives are temporarily worry-free. But our lives and deaths are in the blink of an eye. I hope our seniors will show mercy." A cultivator said.

  "Yes, why must our seniors make things difficult for us? Are they trying to drive us into a dead end?" Another cultivator said.

  Many monks, you one word and I one word. Some were pleading with Jiang Feng, while others were blaming Jiang Feng. Originally, Jiang Feng didn't take it too seriously, but the more he listened, the more displeased he became.

  "That's enough. I said it wasn't me, and it wasn't me. Just now I've already told you all that there's a problem with this place, whether you believe it or not is up to you." Jiang Feng shouted.

  Then Jiang Feng pointed to his back and said, "On the road ahead, there are many elixirs. Don't you think it's strange that so many life-saving elixirs have appeared here? If you don't believe me, come and pick them up yourselves."

  The monks fell silent. Each of them was thinking about their own affairs. No one spoke again, and no one dared to move forward. It seemed that they were still afraid of Jiang Feng making a move.

  After a while, Jiang Feng let out a sigh. He lowered his head to look at the dan medicine in his hand and thought to himself that it was fine, he would just be a good person this time.

  With this thought in mind, Jiang Feng took a step forward. As soon as he did, his expression changed. He quickly withdrew his leg and jumped backward. Just as Jiang Feng jumped back, a sword aura slashed through the spot where Jiang Feng had just stepped, leaving a large gash on the stone wall to the side.

  Seeing this scene, Jiang Feng was stunned, and others were also stunned. Those cultivators who didn't know better thought it was Jiang Feng's self-directed performance. As for what Jiang Feng said, if there really was a problem here, they somewhat believed him.

  For a long time, Jiang Feng didn't dare to move. Wondering what was going on. At this time, there were monks rushing away from the crossroads. After a while, they saw the monk who had left earlier, carrying a corpse in his hand and coming over.

  "Take his hand and throw him in." The monk said to others.

  Several people worked together to throw a corpse into it. The corpse had not yet fallen when it was enveloped in flames. It quickly burned to ashes. When another corpse was thrown in, it suffered the same fate.

  So now everyone understands. There is indeed something strange here, and it's really not Jiang Feng's doing. And Jiang Feng was already drenched in sweat, when he walked over, nothing had happened yet. Now looking at it, it would be weird if you weren't scared.

  He slowly stretched out his foot, stepping towards the ground in front of him. Before he could even land, Jiang Feng quickly retreated backwards. In the place where he had wanted to step, a bolt of lightning had already struck down.

  "Will I never return again? Is there danger ahead as well?" Jiang Feng said to himself.

  Everyone at the intersection was paying attention to Jiang Feng. Now no one dares to go over, and Jiang Feng doesn't dare to continue walking either. But he can't go back either. He can only stand there. It's just that this isn't a solution, staying here forever will eventually lead to death.

  But the people at the crossroads couldn't afford to waste any more time. They didn't have as many medicinal pills in their hands like Jiang Feng did. After a period of silence, someone gritted their teeth and walked forward.

  The first few steps were safe. But when he walked out seven or eight meters, that person was pierced through the body by an icicle. Everyone also saw clearly that the icicle suddenly appeared in mid-air. It seemed to have triggered some kind of formation.

  Shortly after, another person came forward. At first, this person was walking in the same place as the previous one. When he arrived at the body of the previous person, he bypassed it. After bypassing, he did not receive an attack. However, he only advanced three more steps before being struck dead by lightning.

  "No wonder heaven wants to strike you dead. With this kind of luck that goes against the heavens, anyone would want to strike you dead." Jiang Feng heard Lan Wu's voice beside his ear.

  Now things are clearer than ever. On this road, some places are dangerous and some are not. Once you touch a place with danger, it's a dead end. And Jiang Feng was able to walk all the way through without anything happening, which is nothing short of a miracle.

  "What good luck is this. Now I've forced myself into a dead end. If I had known, I wouldn't have come in." Jiang Feng said to himself.

  "It's not like you can blame anyone. You were just happy and excited earlier, so why are you scared now? But don't be afraid, maybe you'll be able to get through it smoothly. Maybe the exit is just up ahead." Lan Wu said.

  Jiang Feng didn't want to waste time with Lan Wu, the most important thing now was to think of a solution. The people at the crossroads were even more anxious than Jiang Feng. They also understood some things and some people wanted to make a desperate attempt. Anyway, they couldn't hold on for much longer.

  Still following the path that others had taken before, they continued to move forward. When they arrived at the location of the corpse, they would detour around it. However, this time, even before they could get close to the corpse, that person was bisected by a sword aura. This made the situation even more perilous.

  "Danger is not fixed. This time it's troublesome." Jiang Feng said in his heart.

  Others naturally realized it too. But they had no choice. After more than a dozen seconds, the monks moved forward again.

  "Halt, don't go any further!" Jiang Feng suddenly shouted loudly.

  The monk who had just taken two steps stopped after hearing this. Seeing that the man had stopped, Jiang Feng said: "Try taking a step back and see. Be careful, if you feel anything is off, immediately withdraw your foot."

  This person hesitated for a moment, then slowly turned around and did as Jiang Feng said. One foot had just stepped out and hadn't landed yet when the person quickly pulled their leg back. They also took a step back and sat down on the ground with a thud. The foot that they had stepped out with was already covered in blood. Just now, a sharp sword aura had slashed through the spot where the person's foot was about to land.

  "Don't even try. Once you come in here, you can't go back. Even if you manage to find a way out, you'll still be trapped here. Now tell me, how many of you are there?" Jiang Feng said.

  What happened when Jiang Feng was walking back and forth earlier, combined with what just happened, made those people somewhat believe what Jiang Feng said. After hearing Jiang Feng's words, they immediately began to count the number of people.

  "There are about eighty of them." said a monk after looking around at the people nearby.

  "How many exactly? I want an accurate number, not an approximation." Jiang Feng roared.

  The people at this intersection began to seriously count. In fact, the people Jiang Feng saw were only a part of them, and there was another part at the corner that Jiang Feng couldn't see.

  "Elder, there are seventy-eight in total." a monk said.

  Jiang Feng lowered his head and muttered to himself, "Damn senior, I've only cultivated up to the 9th layer of Qi Refining. Seventy-eight people isn't a small number, you know."

  After some thought, Jiang Feng steeled himself and turned to leave. He took two steps before picking up a dan medicine. Then he picked up all the surrounding dan medicines one by one and continued walking towards the depths of this road.

  "You wait, if I don't die, I'll give you some of the elixir." Jiang Feng's words came over.

  Everyone at the crossroads tensed up when they heard this. If Jiang Feng really gave them some of his elixirs, then they would truly be saved. But if Jiang Feng died, then they would be in trouble.

  Gritting his teeth, the beads of sweat on his forehead kept falling. Jiang Feng had already walked out for over fifty meters again. He had taken off his outer garment and used it as a cloth bundle to pack a large quantity of dan medicine.

  The people at the crossroads saw Jiang Feng stop in the distance, as if he was distributing Dan medicine. They were all very excited and worried at the same time. At such a far distance, it's probably not easy to throw the Dan medicine over. Walking back? That would be even more dangerous.

  The people with their backs to the crossroads, Jiang Feng swallowed a dan medicine. Then he turned around. At this time, in his hand, he was holding a cloth bag made from the clothes on his body, which was full of dan medicines.

  "Listen up, seventy-eight people, three beads each. Anyone who dares to take half a bead more, I'll take your life." Jiang Feng's voice came over like thunder. Flames also began to burn on his body, and he floated up into the air.

  The bundle of cloth in his hand was thrown out and flew smoothly over a distance of nearly a hundred meters, hitting the stone wall at one end of the intersection. The monks all shouted loudly. At first, they seemed to be in some confusion. But after Jiang Feng let out a loud roar and a fireball flew over, those people quieted down a lot and were no longer so chaotic.

  Watching those people take the medicine in an orderly manner, Jiang Feng didn't say anything else. His body fell back to the ground. Turning around, he steeled himself and continued walking forward.

  "Senior, can you leave your name and lineage? So that we may know who it was that saved us." a monk shouted loudly.

  "Wu Xing Jian Zong, Jiang Feng." Jiang Feng said without turning his head.
