Sage of Humanity

Chapter 2081: Chapter 2079: Unlucky Charng Feng

The cultivator who suddenly appeared in the Spectral Sedan Chair looked to be around thirty or forty years old, but his aura was exceptionally pure, not something common among Sun Blaze rank cultivators.

He clearly misunderstood, thinking that he was ambushed by Lu Ye and Jiu Yan.

Lu Ye raised his hand and said, "Fellow Daoist, you’ve misunderstood. It wasn’t my senior sister and I who ambushed you!"

The man’s brows furrowed, "There’s only the two of you here, if it wasn’t you who ambushed me, then who was it?"

Lu Ye said, "To be honest, we’re also trapped here..."

He slowly explained the situation. The other party listened with partial skepticism, but neither Lu Ye nor Jiu Yan showed any hostility, and he also sensed one thing: he absolutely couldn’t make a move here. If he did, something bad would likely happen.

Lu Ye was deeply aware of this...

"As Fellow Daoist said, is this the internal space of the Spectral Sedan Chair?"

After a brief exchange, Lu Ye learned that the person’s name was Chen Li, and he was also unfortunate. He was cultivating peacefully in his cave residence when a red ribbon appeared out of nowhere, and after a moment of dizziness, he found himself here.

It’s important to know that when he was in closed-door cultivation, his cave residence was surrounded by numerous Formations. He was confident that no one in the world could ambush him without alerting him.

Yet he still fell into the trap.

Moreover, he hadn’t even seen what the Spectral Sedan Chair looked like. Compared to Lu Ye and Jiu Yan’s experience, he was simply unlucky.

At least Lu Ye and Jiu Yan knew the general situation.

"This is indeed the interior of the Spectral Sedan Chair, and at the moment, we are all trapped here," Lu Ye nodded.

Chen Li frowned, "How long have you two been trapped?"

"Almost half a month."

"Don’t you have a way to escape?"

"If we did, we wouldn’t still be here."

Chen Li was clearly unwilling to accept this and spent the next few hours searching for a way out, but unfortunately, the space here was enclosed, with no way out.

While he was busy, Lu Ye and Jiu Yan were also communicating in secret.

Their original thought was that the Spectral Sedan Chair would probably return them to the Star Abyss, but now an unexpected addition like Chen Li clearly showed he was also swept up.

This undoubtedly indicated that neither Jiu Yan nor Lu Ye was anything special; Chen Li also met the criteria for capture by the Spectral Sedan Chair, which is why he appeared here while in closed-door cultivation.

And from Lu Ye’s observation, Chen Li’s strength might not be much different from Jiu Yan’s.

As for his Star System of origin, Lu Ye hadn’t heard of it. It’s clearly not connected to the All Phenomena Ocean, which isn’t surprising given the vastness of the stellar space, even though the All Phenomena Ocean is the central place, very few Star Systems communicate with it.

With the addition of another person in the Spectral Sedan Chair, the interaction between Lu Ye and Jiu Yan finally became less awkward.

A few more days passed, and the same kind of commotion happened again.

Lu Ye immediately opened his eyes, exchanging a glance with Jiu Yan beside him, both showing a significant reaction.

Seeing Chen Li, Lu Ye had already guessed that the Spectral Sedan Chair might capture other people, and now it seemed that was indeed the case.

I wonder which unfortunate soul will suffer this time!

Chen Li quickly got up and dashed toward the position of the sedan door.

He had already found out from Lu Ye that the sedan door was always in a closed state, only opening for a moment when a newcomer was captured, then immediately closing again. So, if one wanted to leave, they had to seize that fleeting moment of opportunity!

Lu Ye turned his head to look at him, having the same idea but always feeling things weren’t so simple.

He hinted at this with Jiu Yan before, but Jiu Yan didn’t want to leave the Spectral Sedan Chair just yet. If the previous speculation was correct, the Spectral Sedan Chair would take her to the Star Abyss, an opportunity she was unwilling to forgo.

Any cultivator who had reached her level of cultivation with ambition wouldn’t want to miss out, even if the path ahead was unknown; one needed to explore it to understand.

Meanwhile, in the outer Star System, two figures, one pursuing and the other escaping, moved at extreme speed.

The person fleeing in front shouted while running, "Ma Bin, don’t push me too far!"

If Lu Ye were here, he would surely recognize that the person running away was none other than Charng Feng!

The day he failed to ambush Lu Ye, knowing he couldn’t stay in the All Phenomena Galaxy any longer, he fled immediately. Lu Ye, along with Little Fella, chased him for several days without success, which really enraged him.

After leaving the All Phenomena Ocean, Charng Feng wandered in stellar space, not expecting Ma Bin to suddenly find him and pursue him vigorously.

Alone, how could he be a match for Ma Bin? He could only flee, and along the way he exhausted many of his magic treasures, leaving him in a very poor state.

He felt he was about to reach his limit; this journey would likely be his end.

Ma Bin’s robust voice came from behind, "Injuring my Dao foundation, ambushing my junior, all these acts will be settled with you today!"

In truth, Ma Bin wasn’t too concerned about the injury to his Dao foundation; in the struggle among cultivators, casualties were inevitable. Over the millennia, countless enemies had met their end at his hands, and he was already prepared for the possibility of being slain. What truly sparked his killing intent was Charng Feng’s ambush on Lu Ye.

So, after leaving the Nine Provinces that day, he came all this way to settle the score. He had earlier told Lu Ye that he had a rough idea of where Charng Feng might hide, and indeed he hadn’t been wrong.

As he spoke, he sent a punch flying from afar.

Charng Feng sensed something awry, barely managing to defend himself, but he was still shaken to the core, spewing blood from his mouth.

In terms of cultivation, the two were similar, but one had established a Dao foundation while the other had not, making their strength worlds apart. Without the protection and escape techniques offered by many magic treasures, Charng Feng would have been dead long ago.

"The time has come..." Charng Feng sighed internally, aware that there was no way he could escape this time. His heart instead calmed, and a resolute expression appeared on his face.

At that moment, he suddenly turned to look in a direction. Somehow, a bridal sedan chair had appeared there, and as he saw it, a red ribbon extended from the sedan chair’s door, curling toward him.

Charng Feng was shocked and hurriedly tried to dodge!

But how could he escape? The red ribbon easily wrapped around him, swiftly retracting to pull him into the sedan chair.

Ma Bin, who was pursuing, saw this and was furious. He suddenly erupted with an intense light, transforming into a glowing ball that charged at the bridal sedan chair.

However, it hit nothing but air. When he steadied himself again, the mysterious bridal sedan chair had vanished without a trace, along with Charng Feng.

Ma Bin frowned, spreading his powerful mental consciousness to probe in all directions, but found nothing.

In the Spectral Sedan Chair, as soon as the door opened, Chen Li dashed out. To his surprise, he actually escaped. Amidst an unseen presence, laughter rang out: "Such a small Spectral Sedan Chair, and you think you can trap Chen? Utterly delusional!"

Lu Ye watched with interest, wondering if it was truly possible.

However, just as the thought crossed his mind, he saw Chen Li, who had just managed to escape, reappear at the sedan chair’s door. Somehow, a red ribbon had wrapped around him, and with a flick of the ribbon, he was thrown back like an arrow departing the string.

With a slap, he was stuck against the wall facing the door in a large-character position, slowly sliding down.

Lu Ye’s eye twitched; apparently, escaping here wasn’t so easy.

Another red ribbon rolled in, and Lu Ye quickly averted his gaze, curious to see who the unfortunate one was this time.

Just like the first time Chen Li appeared, this unfortunate soul rolled a few times on the ground, hurriedly getting up to cautiously scan the surroundings.

"Brother Charng Feng?" Jiu Yan looked at the bedraggled figure in amazement, not expecting that the unfortunate one swept in this time would be Charng Feng.

Lu Ye’s expression, once amused, gradually turned cold and sharp.

He hadn’t forgotten how Charng Feng had ambushed him that day. If it hadn’t been for his numerous methods, he likely would have faced disaster.

Unexpectedly, today, the Spectral Sedan Chair had actually brought Charng Feng in. What a twist of fate!

"Jiu Yan?" Charng Feng was also surprised, then he saw the familiar figure standing beside Jiu Yan and felt a chill: "Lu Yiye!"

An intent to kill surged within him. Reflecting on being chased by Ma Bin with no escape, nearly at a dead end, and now narrowly escaping only to see Lu Ye here!

"Hahaha!" He couldn’t help but laugh, though the laughter pulled at his injuries, causing him to cough violently. After calming a bit, he pinched his fingers, a spark of spirit light dazzling at his fingertips, and coldly gazed at Lu Ye: "I’ll let you repay Ma Bin’s debt."

Lu Ye raised his brow: "Ma Bin inflicted this injury on you?"

Charng Feng’s injuries were apparent, clearly just after a fierce fight, which made Lu Ye curious about how he got so heavily injured. Now, hearing him say it, Lu Ye understood.

Ma Bin... such efficiency.

It was just bad luck. Clearly, Charng Feng was caught in the Spectral Sedan Chair, narrowly avoiding disaster.

Wait... Lu Ye suddenly remembered something. If the standard for the Spectral Sedan Chair’s capture was the strongest cultivator in the area, shouldn’t it have been Ma Bin who got pulled in, not Charng Feng!

He had previously discussed this with Chen Li, learning that in the star system where Chen Li was, he was indeed the strongest and most cultivated.

Combining with Jiu Yan being selected in the All Phenomena Ocean, Lu Ye had this guess.

But Charng Feng’s appearance overturned this idea.

Why was it Charng Feng and not Ma Bin?

Charng Feng clearly didn’t want to answer that question, feeling it embarassing enough to be injured in such a way. How could he pester salt on his own wounds?

He just stared murderously at Lu Ye, not actually attacking.

Because he suddenly sensed an inexplicable malevolence enveloping him, a malevolence he couldn’t possibly resist!

Lu Ye, on the other hand, looked at him provocatively, while Jiu Yan frowned, unsure of what to do.

She couldn’t possibly allow Charng Feng to strike at Lu Ye, but the grudge between Charng Feng and Lu Ye wasn’t something she could resolve.

"Is there a grudge?"

As the atmosphere began to grow tense, Chen Li’s voice came forward.

He sat in the corner, wiping the blood that had flowed from his nose from the collision just now.

He asked Lu Ye, as even though they didn’t have a close relationship, they had been together for a few days, barely getting familiar.

"A big one!" Lu Ye sneered, looking at Charng Feng: "Still not going to make a move?"

If he dared to act, he wouldn’t end well, and Lu Ye was confident he could withstand a blow from Charng Feng in his current condition.
