Volume 1 Chapter 42: Encountering Robbers Again

  This is a circular area with a diameter of nearly two hundred meters. The edges are all roads composed of stone walls. It looks like all the roads lead here. Jiang Feng and others also guessed that this might be the center of the maze.

  The ground underfoot is not as flat as elsewhere. The ground here seems to have undergone a great change. It looks like the cauldron that appeared before may have appeared here.

  Ran towards the crowd over there. Some people saw Jiang Feng and a few others, but no one paid much attention to them. Many of them were sitting on the ground, looking very weak. Those who were still standing were all watching the people fighting.

  In the center of the crowd, there was also a group of people sitting on the ground. In front of them, five people were ganging up on an old man. Although it was one against five, those five people couldn't gain any advantage. After Jiang Feng ran over, the old man had already beaten them all back. And he himself seemed to be injured as well. He retreated several steps before falling to the ground.

  "Jiang Daoyou, don't be impulsive. These people are all high-ranking cultivators, very powerful ones." Hai Feng said, holding back Jiang Feng who was about to rush forward.

  When he ran here, Jiang Feng saw that in the crowd at the center, there were Yue Zihai and Xue Dao. Looking at their appearance, the situation was not good. This made Jiang Feng want to rush up, but he was pulled back by Hai Feng just in time.

  "It seems that these people on the outside are eyeing the storage bags of these high-ranking cultivators and want to take advantage of them when they're not cultivating. If you go over now, you'll probably get yourself involved." Haifeng continued to say.

  The situation was indeed as Hai Feng said, but Jiang Feng and Yue Zi Hai were unable to calm down.

  "A bunch of rodents. You think you can take advantage of us when we're weak? Dream on." The old man who had just fought off five opponents said.

  "Old thing, don't be arrogant. I'd like to see just how long you can hold on." A monk from the outer circle shouted out. Clearly this person was one of those who wanted to rob those high-ranking monks.

  "How long can you hold on? Holding on until you die is absolutely no problem." The old man said.

  Many people were staring at the old man with venomous eyes, as well as others in the center. However, no one immediately went up to him, possibly wanting to wait a bit longer until the people in the middle became even weaker.

  After a while, someone said: "We can't wait any longer. Once the formation here fails and their cultivation is restored, just one of them will be able to wipe us all out. We must settle this quickly."

  As soon as the words came out, those monks who were about to rob again thought of taking action. The old man also struggled to get up, seemingly wanting to continue dealing with those people. Unfortunately, he had just stood up and sat back down again.

  "Wait a minute, wait a minute!" Jiang Feng shouted as he rushed over.

  Those who were about to take action heard someone shouting and saw someone running over, all looking at Jiang Feng with extreme vigilance. Jiang Feng, however, didn't pay much attention to them and ran straight towards Yuezi Peak.

  "Wait until I say two more sentences, then you can fight." Jiang Feng shouted, running to the side of Yue Zifeng and Xue Dao.

  "Hurry up and eat this." Jiang Feng took out a dan medicine and separately put it into the mouths of Yue Zifeng and Xue Dao.

  When Jiang Feng turned around to face the robbers, he suddenly saw another familiar person. He rushed over and stuffed a pill into the person's mouth while saying: "Cheng Dong, what are you doing here too?"

  "Jiang Feng, is there anything else? Save my master." Said Cheng Dong weakly after taking the elixir.

  Jiang Feng glanced at the middle-aged man sitting beside Cheng Dong. Judging from his appearance, he probably wouldn't last much longer. Jiang Feng quickly took out a medicinal pill and stuffed it into the man's mouth.

  Then Jiang Feng turned around and said to those who wanted to rob: "Everyone, these few people are my friends, they are not some powerful cultivators, there's nothing worth your consideration. Can you let them go?"

  "It's impossible." someone responded with a menacing tone.

  "Their storage bags, everything on them, can be left to you. Just let us go." Jiang Feng said hastily. He could tell that those people were not ordinary cultivators. At this time, even if they didn't have any cultivation, each person must be a master. Confronting them head-on would not end well.

  "Either we all kill them together, or we die here. If you want to let them live, then let them join us and fight against others with us. Otherwise, don't think about leaving this place alive." someone said.

  Jiang Feng glanced at Cheng Dong and the others, without thinking, he knew they had already known about this matter. And they had also made their choice. Perhaps this choice was not necessarily because they didn't want to harm people. It's likely that it's because other people's identities are not ordinary, they can't afford to offend them.

  Just as Jiang Feng was in a dilemma, he heard the old man who had previously fought against five people say: "This Taoist friend, you retreat. Today, as long as you don't take action, even if I die here, no one will vent their anger on you, nor your sect."

  Jiang Feng glanced at the old man and said irritably, "Mind your own business. I won't watch my friend die." Then he turned to those who wanted to rob them and said, "Let's negotiate again. I'll give you life-saving medicine, and this matter will be settled. As long as you back off, these people won't bother you in the future either."

  "Do you think they might let us go after today?" someone said.

  Looking back at those sitting on the ground, Jiang Feng thought to himself, "You guys should just let it go. As long as you don't pursue this further, things will be easier to handle." But he didn't expect that many of them would snort in disdain.

  "This old man has dominated the True Realm for a lifetime, and no one has ever dared to be disrespectful to me. Today, they actually dare to take advantage of my severe injury, can I let them off?" A young man who looked not very old and was quite handsome said coldly. His eyes were filled with venom as he spoke.

  Jiang Feng glared at the person and said with a clenched jaw, "Were you kicked in the head by a donkey or what? Can't you see what kind of situation this is?"

  This remark made the man furious, but he couldn't do anything to Jiang Feng. At this time, someone burst out laughing. The man laughed and said: "Old devil, I didn't expect you to be taught by a junior, your face is really lost."

  The young man who called himself Lao Fu glared fiercely at the speaker. The person was very close to him, and he believed that if it were in the past, they would have already started fighting. But at this time, he didn't have the energy to take action.

  "Who would have thought that today I not only had to rely on Bai Lian Daozhang to hold on until now, but also had to die together with you old enemies. Now I've been humiliated by a junior, my face is truly lost." The young man said.

  After his voice fell, he looked at Jiang Feng with a gloomy gaze and said: "If I can escape this predicament, I will definitely come to you for advice in the future."

  "You can live through today and talk about it later." Jiang Feng said, and didn't look at that person again.

  At this time, some of the people who were taking advantage of the situation said: "This Taoist friend, you probably don't know what identity those people sitting behind you are, do you? Let me tell you. I don't know if you were around when the dan furnace appeared?"

  When Jiang Feng nodded, the man continued: "Then you should have seen some cultivators rushing towards the Dan furnace and attacking it. After the maze appeared, you should also have seen some light groups falling down. What fell was not a fragment of the Dan furnace, but people chasing after the Dan furnace. It was them. They were all top-notch cultivators in the cultivation world. The things on their bodies, whether they were magical artifacts or elixirs, especially their skills, were all extraordinary."

  "Never mind, I'm not interested in robbing them. I'll just take my friend and leave, the rest is none of my business. And I won't mention today's events either." Jiang Feng interrupted the person.

  "That's asking for death." Someone from the opposite side said.

  Jiang Feng let out a cold laugh, dropped the cloth bag from his shoulder to the ground and said: "Me looking for death? Don't think that just because you have more people, this place only belongs to you. I'd like to see who has more people."

  As he spoke, Jiang Feng stretched out his hand and threw a handful of dan medicine behind him. Then, Jiang Feng took out another large handful of dan medicine to show the people in front of him.
