Chapter 140: Escapegoat
For Ye Xuan's taunts, Chu Feng didn't mind at all. He just chuckled dismissively.
"By the way, I heard that many high-level martial artists from the first-tier base cities are participating in this trial," Ye Xuan said with a serious expression. "It's said that King Cangshan is very interested in this secret realm. He somehow detected the existence of a treasure called the Infinite Refining Divine Flower inside."
"He announced that whoever obtains the Infinite Refining Divine Flower will have an opportunity to enter the Imperial Dragon Pool and will also be granted a favor!" Ye Xuan continued.
Upon hearing this, a huge wave surged in Chu Feng's heart. The Imperial Dragon Pool was an opportunity for martial practitioners to leap through the dragon gate, with only ten spots available every hundred years.
And how precious must the Infinite Refining Divine Flower be?
"I don't know its specific effects, but it must be a treasure related to spiritual power," Ye Xuan said, shaking her head.
The two hadn't exchanged many words when the giant whale boat suddenly decelerated and then stopped in mid-air.
"The trial location has arrived; everyone get off!" The stern voice of the old man resonated once again.
The vast door of the cabin opened, and the old man, as if walking on clouds, descended steadily onto the open ground.
Chu Feng followed the others, imitating their actions and landing on the smooth ground below.
With a slight vibration in the void, the colossal giant whale boat unexpectedly vanished without a trace.
"Goodness! How big must his storage ring be?" Chu Feng was shocked internally. This old man surely had an extraordinarily large storage ring to accommodate a giant whale boat.
The open ground had a broad view, smooth as a mirror, as if it had been leveled by an unparalleled expert with a single sword.
"Why is he here too?" Ye Xuan's charming nose wrinkled, her pretty face suddenly changing slightly.
Chu Feng's gaze followed hers, and he too was momentarily stunned.
At the center of the field, several imposing figures, with majestic auras, stood surrounding a young man. This young man was tall and straight like a spear, with handsome features. He stood there like a sun, radiating brilliance.
"Isn't that Jia Xuan, Wang Qingyang, and others from the four major families of Jiangning? They are the outstanding disciples of the main branches. But who is the guy in the center?" Chu Feng recognized several core disciples of the four major families based on the information he had seen.
To have these core disciples willingly act as followers, the status of the guy in the center must be terrifying.
When the guy's gaze suddenly turned towards Ye Xuan, a hint of surprise appeared in his eyes. He waved to Ye Xuan and exclaimed, "Hey, Xuan'er, you're here too!"
Ye Xuan's face turned slightly red, her delicate face stiffening. She snorted coldly and walked to Chu Feng's side.
The guy's face froze for a moment, but soon he acted as if nothing had happened, continuing to chat and laugh with the others.
However, occasionally glancing at Chu Feng, his eyes carried a trace of coldness.
Chu Feng's formidable spiritual power easily detected these subtle changes.
"Trouble!" He shook his head and muttered to himself helplessly.
"This guy is Zhao Tiannan, the top talent of the Southern Sky King Zhao family!" Ye Xuan said with a hint of apology.
Chu Feng, used as a scapegoat without rhyme or reason, naturally had no mood to continue the conversation.
Suddenly, the bustling square quieted down for a moment, followed by a commotion as everyone looked up.
Chu Feng followed their line of sight and looked over. Immediately, his expression froze.
The vision reached several figures standing at the center of the venue, surrounded by several young people who exuded an imposing aura. These individuals were all in their twenties, with an extraordinary temperament. They were surrounding a young man who stood in the center, and their expressions were full of respect.
The young man had a tall and straight figure, a handsome face, and a radiant presence. Standing there, he looked like a sun
