Chapter 6087: The Day of the Challenge; Chu Feng’s Not Here?

“Chen Hui, do you think I dare not kill you?”

Baili Zilin narrowed his eyes. A cold aura seeped out of his body as he raised his leg and stepped on Chen Hui, pushing the latter to kneel on the ground.

Chen Hui hissed in pain.

“Young master Zilin, you mustn’t!”

The Netherworld Generals panicked.

“Shut up! This is no place for you to talk!” Baili Zilin roared in anger.

Faced with his cold eyes, the Netherworld General dared not to say a word.

“Stop,” a voice suddenly echoed.

Oppressive might enveloped the area, and Baili Zilin found himself freezing in place.

All the Netherworld Generals kneeled and kowtowed, saying, “Paying respect to Netherworld Marshall!”

The person who had just arrived was Netherworld Marshall Jimo Qianzhou.

Baili Zilin was forced to release Chen Hui under Jimo Qianzhou’s suppression. Even though Jimo Qianzhou was his father’s subordinate, he only acted arrogantly toward Jimo Qianzhou privately; he still observed the rules in front of outsiders.

He stood obediently by the side, his head lowered like a child who had done wrong. He even sheepishly called out, “Paying respect to Netherworld Marshall.”

Chen Hui stood up and fixed his broken arm. He was infuriated, but he didn’t let his emotions get the better of him and attack Baili Zilin.

“Young master Zilin, why did you attack young master Chen Hui?” Jimo Qianzhou asked.

Chen Hui replied before Baili Zilin could say a thing, “It’s nothing. We were sparring.”

Baili Zilin was taken aback.

“I’ll be taking my leave if there’s nothing else.”

Chen Hui wisely chose not to pursue the matter, knowing Jimo Qianzhou was Baili Zilin’s dog. Thus, he walked away.

“Wait.” Jimo Qianzhou stopped Chen Hui.

“Is there a problem, Lord Netherworld Marshall?” Chen Hui asked.

“Young master Chen Hui, did you come here to look for young master Zilin because you feel that the public challenge he issued to Chu Feng violates our Netherworld Sect’s rules?”

“Feel? Lord Netherworld Marshall, are you joking with me? Is this about what I feel? That’s the objective truth, isn’t it?” Chen Hui glared at Jimo Qianzhou.

“That may be the case in the past, but times have changed.”

Jimo Qianzhou told Chen Hui about the red cloud phenomenon Baili Zilin had produced via the Netherworld Embryo God Summoning Altar. It went without saying that someone of Chen Hui’s stature knew about the significance of the altar.

Chen Hui stared at Baili Zilin in skepticism. “You triggered the red cloud phenomenon?”

“Many people witnessed it. I was present too,” Jimo Qianzhou replied.

Chen Hui didn’t say a word, but he reserved his skepticism despite Jimo Qianzhou vouching for Baili Zilin. It was too hard for him to believe it.

But he didn’t bother arguing about it as there was no need to. This matter was of grave importance; the higher-ups of the Netherworld Sect would get to the bottom of it once they returned from their closed-door training. The truth would surface then.

So, Chen Hui focused on what was important and said, “So what if it’s true? Is that an excuse for him to violate sect rules?”

“Of course not.”

Jimo Qianzhou shook his head and told Chen Hui about the Undying Starfield.

He and Baili Zilin had visited the Undying Starfield and confirmed the situation. It wouldn’t be long before the Undying Starfield surfaced, and the Netherworld Sect was making preparations to guard the Undying Starfield.

Since the Netherworld Sect would appear before the world soon, Jimo Qianzhou thought it wouldn’t be a big deal for Baili Qianzhou to issue a public challenge to Chu Feng.

However, Jimo Qianzhou twisted the truth and claimed that he was the one who told Baili Zilin to do it.

“You made him do it?” Chen Hui was bewildered.

Even Netherworld Marshalls were not above sect rules.

“Exceptional circumstances call for exceptions. As the Netherworld Marshall, I have the power to decide what’s better for the sect in trying times. Since the Netherworld Sect will soon appear before the world, I believe it’ll be better to give the world a glimpse of our power to reinforce our reputation,” Jimo Qianzhou replied.

“Are you reinforcing our Netherworld Sect’s reputation or this young master Zilin’s reputation?” Chen Hui scoffed.

“Of course it’s for the Netherworld Sect,” Jimo Qianzhou replied.

“It looks to me that you’re trying to tarnish our Netherworld Sect’s reputation,” Chen Hui replied as he continued walking away.

“What do you mean by that?” Jimo Qianzhou asked.

“You don’t know Chu Feng. You better pray he doesn’t come, or else you’ll become sinners of our Netherworld Sect.”

Chen Hui had already left, but his words echoed in the corridor.

Jimo Qianzhou frowned.

Baili Zilin sneered in disdain, “That fool.”

...

Soon, it was the day of the duel between Baili Zilin and Chu Feng.

The duel was held at the Bloodline Galaxy’s Ignition Pulse Village. It was the same place where the Nine Heavens’ Zenith was last hosted.

The place was crowded with people, though the crowd was not even a tenth of the Nine Heavens’ Zenith. This was an event hosted by the Netherworld Sect, and the Netherworld Sect was synonymous with danger to most.

But there was no lack of people who didn’t fear death in the world of cultivation, or else there wouldn’t have been so many people gathered here.

“It is the Netherworld Sect! They have appeared in public!”

“How strong is Baili Zilin, for him to dare challenge Chu Feng that monster to a duel?”

The crowd discussed fervently as they looked at the massive dueling ring in the sky.

The dueling ring was massive, but it was still partially concealed behind a sealing formation. Netherworld Sectmembers, identifiable from their unique dress-up, were stationed around the dueling ring, preventing anyone from approaching it.

“It’s almost time. Will Chu Feng come?”

“We’d have made a wasted trip if he doesn’t come.”

Chu Feng remained nowhere to be seen even though it was almost time.

The spectators, who had crossed galaxies to get here in spite of the danger to watch this historic battle, were getting impatient.
