Chen Feng led numerous disciples of the Purple Clothes Sword Sect to the location mentioned by a disciple. As they arrived, they saw the chaotic footprints and sword marks on the ground, indicating a fierce battle had taken place. Many trees showed signs of being struck with great force.
Chen Feng followed the traces of the fight and quickly flew ahead, with the disciples of the Purple Clothes Sword Sect closely following him. After leading them for about 0.5 kilometers, Chen Feng and his disciples heard the sounds of fighting ahead and hastened their pace.
Before long, Chen Feng spotted five individuals dressed in black robes, surrounding two young men and women in blue robes. These were the two disciples from Starry Sky Academy, the individuals they were searching for. Delighted, Chen Feng and the disciples of the Purple Clothes Sword Sect moved forward, quickly encircling the seven combatants.
The two Starry Sky Academy disciples and the five black-robed individuals ceased their fighting as they noticed the disciples of the Purple Clothes Sword Sect surrounding them. Their expressions showed surprise and alarm.
Chen Feng approached slowly, glancing coldly at the seven individuals before pointing at the five black-robed individuals, commanding several disciples of the Purple Clothes Sword Sect, "You, come forward and deal with them!"
"Yes, Elder Chen!" the disciples acknowledged.
One of the black-robed individuals hurriedly spoke, "Wait! Elders, we are disciples of the Black Cliff Sect. We have no enmity with the Purple Clothes Sword Sect!"
"Enmity?" Chen Feng sneered. "Do you think I need a reason to kill you? Since you want a reason, well, I find you displeasing. That's reason enough!"
The black-robed disciples wanted to say something more, but before they could, several disciples from the Purple Clothes Sword Sect swiftly attacked. The five Black Cliff Sect disciples could only defend themselves, but compared to the disciples of the Purple Clothes Sword Sect, their strength was significantly weaker. It didn't take long before all five of them lay on the ground, their blood staining the surrounding area.
The remaining two Starry Sky Academy disciples looked terrified. Every time they tried to escape, they were blocked by the disciples of the Purple Clothes Sword Sect.
Chen Feng gazed at the two Starry Sky Academy disciples and coldly asked, "Did you kill our Purple Clothes Sword Sect disciples?"
The two Starry Sky Academy disciples' expressions changed, and the male disciple quickly spoke up, "Senior, it's a misunderstanding! We didn't kill your Purple Clothes Sword Sect disciples. With our strength, it would be impossible for us to kill them!"
The female disciple anxiously added, "Yes, senior, it's true. It was an expert with a variation Silver River Martial Spirit who killed them. We had nothing to do with it!"
Chen Feng's eyes narrowed. Nearby, Huang Xiaolong and Fei Hou, who had been hiding, also reacted, their eyes flashing coldly.
"Alright, senior. Moreover, the treasure map was taken by that expert with the variation Silver River Martial Spirit. We currently have the treasure map, so we beg the senior to spare us!" the male disciple explained.
Huang Xiaolong's eyes flickered with killing intent upon hearing this. He never expected that the two individuals he had once saved would not only reveal the events of that day but also frame him and Fei Hou for stealing a treasure map. Huang Xiaolong hadn't even bothered to look at the so-called treasure map.
Chen Feng stared at the Starry Sky Academy disciples, sneering, "The treasure map isn't on you?" Although he believed that the Purple Clothes Sword Sect's Cheng Liang and the other disciples were likely killed by the person with the variation Silver River Martial Spirit, he didn't believe that the treasure map wasn't in the possession of the two individuals.
"Senior, we really have the treasure map!" the female Starry Sky Academy disciple began to explain, but her eyes suddenly shifted to something behind Chen Feng.
Chen Feng became suspicious and turned around, only to see a young child and a tall middle-aged man standing a few meters away. The child had a cute monkey sitting on his shoulder.
"Senior, it's him! He's the one who killed your ten Purple Clothes Sword Sect disciples!" the female Starry Sky Academy disciple exclaimed happily, pointing at Fei Hou.
She had initially worried that Chen Feng wouldn't believe them, but now Fei Hou had appeared before them, which was perfect.
"Yes, senior. The treasure map is with him. He took the treasure map!" the male Starry Sky Academy disciple added, pointing at Fei Hou.
Chen Feng fixed his gaze on Huang Xiaolong and Fei Hou, who were approaching.
"Did you kill our Purple Clothes Sword Sect disciples?" Chen Feng asked coldly as he looked at Fei Hou.
Fei Hou didn't respond, but Huang Xiaolong coldly glared at the two Starry Sky Academy disciples.
Huang Xiaolong glanced at the two individuals and said in a cold voice, "You, damn!"
The expressions of the two Starry Sky Academy disciples changed.
However, just as the male disciple sneered, "Boy, you killed several of our Purple Clothes Sword Sect disciples. I advise you to obediently hand over the treasure map to the Purple Clothes Sword Sect's elder and kneel down to beg for mercy. Maybe you'll have a chance to survive. Otherwise, hehe!" he was suddenly interrupted by Huang Xiaolong.
Though he knew Fei Hou was very powerful, Chen Feng was an elder of the Purple Clothes Sword Sect and likely a Rank 10 powerhouse. He didn't believe Fei Hou would dare to disregard a Rank 10 powerhouse. When the conflict broke out, they would seize the opportunity to escape.
Chen Feng felt a surge of negative emotions, but he didn't rush to take action. Although he was confident in his own strength, he suspected that the other side had some hidden tricks, considering their audacity in confronting him.
At this time, two elders from the Purple Clothes Sword Sect, Chen Feng and Fu Yuan, were exploring Silvermoon Forest separately. They had a special means of communication, and Fu Yuan would soon arrive.
Chen Feng cast a cold gaze at Huang Xiaolong and Fei Hou, planning to deal with them once Fu Yuan arrived.
However, at that moment, Huang Xiaolong's eyes became as sharp as blades as he suddenly looked at Chen Feng, as if he had seen through the thoughts in Chen Feng's heart. He said to Fei Hou, "Deal with the Starry Sky Academy disciples while I handle the Purple Clothes Sword Sect disciples."
"Yes, Young Master!" Fei Hou replied.
In an instant, Huang Xiaolong and Fei Hou flew forward. Huang Xiaolong swiftly arrived in front of the two Starry Sky Academy disciples, while Fei Hou approached Chen Feng. With a swift movement, Fei Hou executed the Arhat Sword Arts.
Chen Feng was taken aback and quickly turned to avoid Fei Hou's attack. However, just as he did, a pitiful cry resounded. Chen Feng looked over and saw that Fei Hou had instantly pierced the throat of a nearby Purple Clothes Sword Sect disciple.
The two Starry Sky Academy disciples were stunned to see a young child and a little monkey kill them. They couldn't believe that two Rank 6 Middle Stage Peak cultivators like themselves couldn't handle a child and a small monkey.
