Chapter 425: Be Careful

"Brother Chu, this time you’re truly in danger. You’ve offended those people, and they definitely won’t let you off easy," said the Martial Arts Venerable from the Three Swords Sect.

"I’m aware," Chu Feng stated boldly. "If they want to start something, let them. I’m not afraid of them. I’ll kill anyone who dares to try!"

’Besides, he hadn’t fought in days, and his hands were itching for a brawl.’

"Spirit Sword Valley is known for holding grudges and always seeking revenge. You must be extremely careful. They have plenty of allies, and the old crones who came this time are all very powerful. Even those at the Martial Arts Peak Realm find it difficult to resist the Charm Technique they use," said the Martial Arts Venerable from the Three Swords Sect.

"You’ve got to be kidding me. Those old crones look like that and they’re using a Charm Technique? Sounds more like a Frighten Technique to me," Chu Feng said, almost speechless.

’But on second thought, he realized the so-called Charm Technique had nothing to do with one’s physical appearance.’

’As long as the ability was powerful enough, even a bag of bones could utterly bewitch a person.’

’After all, it was just a type of Illusion Technique used to disorient people.’

"Brother, you must not underestimate those old crones. It’s true they’re ancient, but their charming abilities are terrifyingly potent—I don’t know how many times stronger than that Ling Yun’er. You absolutely have to be careful. We’re not just trying to scare you," said the Venerable from the Three Swords Sect.

"Thank you both for the warning, Venerables. But I’m not worried. They’re just a few old crones. Nothing to be concerned about," Chu Feng said with a nod.

’Why would he be concerned? He could already see the clouds of sin hanging over their heads. Their Sin Values were substantial.’

’The people from Blood Blade Manor were the same. They were entangled in so much karma, all of it so interwoven that it was impossible to unravel.’

’Furthermore, these people had already reached the Human Martial Arts Peak Realm, so ordinary methods of judgment were no longer effective against them.’

’The method for judging good and evil that the God of Wealth had given him was mostly effective only on those below the Human Martial Arts Peak Realm. It was useless once someone reached that level.’

’Moreover, even if Chu Feng used his Merit Points for Cultivation now, the boost to his power wouldn’t be significant. It had more or less reached its limit; the most it could do was help him break through to the Nascent Soul Realm.’

’He had nearly hit the ceiling.’

’From now on, the direction of Chu Feng’s Cultivation would be to convert Merit Points into the Spiritual Power he needed. Only by cultivating this way could he hope to continue making progress.’

’This was also why, ever since encountering high-level Martial Cultivators, Chu Feng had used his ability to judge good and evil less and less, to the point that he had basically stopped using it altogether.’

’It just wasn’t effective anymore.’

"Hahaha, that’s the spirit, Brother Chu! If you need any help from us at the Three Swords Sect, just say the word. We’ll back you all the way!" the two Martial Arts Venerables from the Three Swords Sect said with a loud laugh. They were both confident and cheerful.

"Thank you, Venerables. I won’t hesitate. If I really need your help, I’ll be sure to ask," Chu Feng said.

’After interacting with them for the past few days, Chu Feng had come to realize that the two Martial Arts Venerables from the Three Swords Sect were genuinely good people. They had always stood by his side and spoken up for him.’

"Hahaha, we are all Martial Cultivators of the Great Snow Mountain. Besides, the Three Swords Sect has always been on good terms with the Celestial Sword Sect. When faced with provocation from outsiders, how could we not lend a hand!" said the Martial Arts Venerable from the Three Swords Sect.

"The two of you are absolutely right, Venerables. Once this is all over, it’ll be time to settle the grudge between the Celestial Sword Sect and the Snow Sword Sect," Chu Feng said.

"Brother Chu, are you really planning to go up against the Snow Sword Sect? Although the Snow Sword Sect only has three in the Martial Arts Peak Realm, their leader, Xue Yujian, is incredibly powerful. You have to be careful. If you team up with the Celestial Sword Sect Leader, there shouldn’t be any unexpected problems," said the Martial Arts Venerable from the Three Swords Sect.

"Mm. We’ll cross that bridge when we get to it. There’s no rush for now," Chu Feng said.

’In truth, he didn’t take this so-called Snow Sword Sect seriously at all. He was confident he could wipe them all out by himself.’

"Alright, we’ll let you two continue your chat. We’ll be on our way. Let us know anytime if a situation arises." With that, the two Martial Arts Venerables from the Three Swords Sect stood up and departed.

They had come over specifically to make their stance clear to Chu Feng and to show him the attitude of the Three Swords Sect.

"Alright. You two Venerables should go back and get some rest. Everyone’s been working hard lately. But you should also be careful; the Three Swords Sect will likely be challenged as well," Chu Feng said.

"Hahaha, rest assured, Venerable Chu Feng. We of the Three Swords Sect have never been afraid of a fight!" the two men said with a loud laugh before leaving.

After the two men had gone, Chu Tianshan suddenly asked Chu Feng out of curiosity, "Kid, does the Three Swords Sect have some kind of grudge with the Spirit Sword Sect?"

"I don’t know. Maybe they do. I’ve never heard anything about it," Chu Feng replied.

Before the two could exchange more than a few words, a knock came from the door.

It was Su Miaoke, who then walked in.

Her eyes were hazy with sleep; she had clearly just woken up.

"You’re awake?" Chu Feng asked.
