Chapter 519: Receiving Protection Fees from the Divine Sons and Saintesses

Translator: Alsey Editor: Chrissy

That charming with a torn skirt was immediately shocked after hearing this and tried to remedy things quickly. “Sister Zi Luan, you’re misunderstanding me. You were surrounded by people so I wanted to help you. Think back carefully, did I attack you?”

Zi Luan glared at her and said, “You criticized, examined and ridiculed me while clicking your tongue. You also mocked Chu Feng as a demon.”

The charming lady saw that things were going south and said, “Sister Zi Luan, can you not report me unjustly? I was only trying to praise your good figure and brother Chu’s good eyesight.”

“Stop trying to play it down. You urged other people to capture and send me to the young god of the Deity race, making Chu Feng lose face,” Zi Luan said.

Chu Feng could no longer listen on after hearing such words. He immediately made his move and activated the Flowing Light Fist. He was simply too fast—the lady reacted swiftly but still wasn’t his match.

Bang!

The woman was badly shaken and staggered backward with blood seeping out of her mouth. Afterwards, she was struck flying by Chu Feng and lost all combat ability.

Chi chi chi!

With a raise of Chu Feng’s hands, dozens of profound magnetic needles entered her body. She had been sealed just like the earlier red-haired man.

“Brother Chu, don’t listen to her nonsense. That lass is making unjust reports. I only touched her a bit and had no intention to target Brother Chu.” The woman was anxious. She could no longer display her previous charm after being locked in a rigid state.

“Is that so?” Chu Feng glanced suspiciously at Zi Luan. Could it be that this proud girl was trying to take this opportunity to settle a private enmity?

In principle, he would be merciful towards the divine sons and saintesses who had no enmity towards him. He planned to take only a small passage fee that didn’t amount to a robbery protection fee.

Zi Luan was furious. “This woman is too flirtatious and bad. She had indeed mocked you with her words. She said that the reason you haven’t sold me yet is because... in any case, her words were filthy to here and she deserves a beating!”

Chu Feng immediately understood and began to laugh out loud.

“I’ll detain you first. I haven’t sold any divine sons and auctioned any saintesses for a while now. I need goods, so I’ll have to replenish my stock a bit today.”

Both the charming lady and the previously captured red-haired youth went pale after hearing Chu Feng’s words. Anyone, no matter how brave, would be scared.

If they were indeed sold off by Chu Feng, the scene would truly be... unimaginable!

“Brother Chu Feng, I hope you can have mercy,” the woman shouted. She also revealed her identity, saying that she was Luo Miaoxiang, cousin to the Dameng Pure Land fairy, Qin Luoyin.

Chu Feng felt nothing after hearing these words. How would he know what origins the Dameng Pure Land possessed? But Zi Luan’s little face was filled with shock and nervousness.

“Is the Dameng Pure Land very powerful? Is Qin Luoyin very strong?” Chu Feng asked.

“The Dameng Pure Land is exceptionally terrifying. This planet under this orthodoxy controls is ranked within the top 20 and has never dropped in rank.

Zi Luan informed in a soft voice. She was somewhat nervous because this was indeed a top-grade evolver’s faction overseen by a heaven-illuminator-level forbidden expert.

Not to mention the top twenty, even those in the top thirty were major characters who could not be touched.

In truth, the top 100 planets couldn’t be provoked because all of them had a heaven-illuminator level character keeping watch over them. Their rankings were related to their accumulations and foundations.

“Qin Luoyin is the saintess of the Dameng Pure Land and is extremely famous in the cosmos. She’s reached perfection in the Dameng Breathing Technique, capable of bestowing dreams at will and charging into them. She has surpassed many famous predecessors in that field and can kill without ever revealing herself. At the same time, she’s one of the most beautiful women in the starry skies and holds a position within the ten beauties painting.”

Zi Luan sent a secret message. She was rather scared because provoking the Dameng Pure Land would result in endless troubles. This race entered the dao via dreams and was difficult to defend against.

However, Chu Feng wasn’t afraid. He had even chopped up and a guest from a top-ten planet and sold his meat, so why would he need to fear this Luo Miaoxiang’s vague threat?

“It’s even better since your cousin is Qin Luoyin. With such fame, her value must be astonishing. We’ll contact the Dameng Pure Land in a while. She definitely wouldn’t be willing to let you be stranded outside.”

Luo Miaoxiang was immediately distressed after hearing this. It seemed she was being kidnapped since Chu Feng had made it clear that he was going to blackmail Qin Luoyin. There was no way to control this demon.

“She’s only a distant cousin of mine whom I’ve never even seen. She might not believe you even if you go and contact her,” Luo Miaoxiang summoned the courage to speak.

“No matter!” Chu Feng waved his hand after deciding to keep her. He glanced at her with a smile and felt that he had caught a nice fish.

At the same time, he made Zi Luan search the victim. In the end, a black jade bottle was found on her body, filled with Heavenly Flame Elixir.

“Oh, it seems there’s a fair amount of Heavenly Flame Elixir in this cave residence.” Chu Feng nodded.

Following which, numerous people who rushed out of the cave residence were stopped, but their treasures were all Heavenly Flame Elixirs. They had shared the profits and decided to escape immediately.

That was because these things were enough. There was no need to further discuss the value of an item that was of use to even a golden arhat.

The red-haired man, Luo Miaoxiang and the others glanced at each other and were dumbfounded. They had divided the Heavenly Flame Elixir inside, but now it was being reaccumulated outside... and transferred!

Their expressions were unsightly and their hearts were excessively depressed.

Another man rushed out before long. His black hair was flowing behind him and his body was stained with traces of blood. His armor had been seriously damaged and it was apparent that he had just experienced a big fight. His eyes were especially sharp and his pupils contracted immediately after seeing Chu Feng.

“He wanted to assault me and said he would capture me, but was stopped by Yuan Mo. After I ran away successfully, but he and another man surrounded and attacked Yuan Mo.”

Zi Luan cried out after seeing this man.

“Zhou Sheng!”

Chu Feng recognized this person. He had seen him on the island full of peach flowers and fallen leaves. I heard other people say that he had a brother named Zhou Hai who was extremely famous. This person had recently comprehended the black vortex energy form and charged directly into the top 200 of the Dark Horse Rankings. It was said that he rank might even rise further.

Recently, Chu Feng’s coarse stone ball energy form and Zhou Hai’s black vortex energy forms were the most famous. They had appeared and charged into the rankings at more or less the same time.

“Chu Feng, we should mind our own business.” Zhou Sheng’s eyes flickered, but his heart was apprehensive.

“You tried to take liberties of my maid while I’m not around and attacked my subordinate Yuan Mo. And you have the audacity to say that we should mind our own business? No need to speak further, you must have some sort of relationship with the Deity race and Xilin clan. You want to become my enemy.”

“There’s no such thing.” Zhou Sheng denied.

“Regardless, allow me to rob you first. You must pay protection fees to pass through there!” said Chu Feng.

“For what reason?!” The spiritual gleam in Zhou Sheng’s eyes was intimidating, but he was somewhat flustered and incomparably unresigned. This time, he had returned with great rewards and profits after devouring everything alone on two separate occasions. How would he be willing to be robbed at this point?

“Simply because you made a move against the people near me. I’ll sell you even if I don’t kill you!” Chu Feng replied with surging killing intent.

“You... you dare?!” Zhou Sheng was greatly infuriated. He was Zhou Hai’s elder brother. His brother was extremely famous for comprehending the black vortex energy form and was no weaker than Chu Feng.

“Why wouldn’t I?” Chu Feng raised his hand and shot out 50 stone balls which pressed down upon him.

However, he had made a slight miscalculation. Zhou Sheng himself hadn’t grasped his brother’s black vortex energy form. With so many stone balls coming down on him at once, he was nearly crushed to death.

Zhou Sheng coughed up large mouthfuls of fresh blood from the impact and was almost blown apart. Dozens of shields, armors, and weapons were shattered before he managed to cling onto life.

He was then suppressed by Chu Feng. His energy was sealed and he could no longer move.

“Ah, so many Golden Snake Fruits.” Zi Luan was astonished. She was in charge of plundering and immediately discovered close to 50 Golden Snake Fruits glowing brilliantly with golden radiance in Zhou Sheng’s spatial bracelet.

“The favorite of the Snake race, their prices are astonishing. A single fruit could sell for more or less 100 million cosmic dollars.

“Five billion cosmic dollars?!” Chu Feng was astonished. A single Zhou Sheng had picked so many cosmic dollars worth of fruits? This is too shocking.

“This is nothing. The Heavenly Flame Elixir is even more valuable!” Zi Luan curled her lips.

“Haha, so we’re not just normal rich, but explosively rich!” Chu Feng laughed loudly.

“There’s a stone tablet with a fist art recorded upon it.” Zi Luan produced a stone tablet from Zhou Sheng’s spatial bracelet, upon which was recorded a wondrous art.

“You lot... those are mine!” Zhou Sheng’s eyes were red. He could let it be if it were only the Golden Snake Fruits, but the stone tablet was something he had spent great effort to bring out. He had fought a bloody battle to snatch it from someone else.

“Now it’s mine. Yes, you’re mine too. I’ll leave you to sell later on!” said Chu Feng.

Zhou Sheng almost exploded from anger after hearing this. The things he had gone to great lengths to seize had been robbed. Not only that, but he had even lost his freedom and was about to be sold off. It was outrageous!

“Eastern Purple Qi Fist, mn, it seems to be an extremely ancient and powerful fist manual. So interesting, so exquisite, very good!”

Chu Feng stared fixedly at the stone tablet and became more and more delighted. He felt that the fist art recorded therein was exceptionally majestic and extraordinary.

“Ah, it’s the Eastern Purple Qi Fist. That’s a lost secret art. Reportedly, it’s a technique brought about by developing the Eastern Purple Qi Finger to the end!” Zi Luan cried out in astonishment.

Doubtlessly, this was one of the most powerful fist arts of earth back in the day.

Chu Feng had seen the Xilin tribe display the Eastern Purple Qi Finger. He hadn’t expected that there was still a more powerful Eastern Purple Qi Fist!

“Good. Wonderful! Zhou Sheng, you did well!” Chu Feng praised.

Zhou Sheng wanted to cough up blood after hearing such words. He had tried so hard to snatch the fist manual without alarming everyone. But now, everything had gone to waste.

He had naturally heard of this fist art. It was an extremely powerful combat technique and was priceless.

Chu Feng was fairly satisfied as he put away the stone tablet.

Afterwards, he was even more proactively in his protection fee demands.

The divine sons and saintesses who had gained benefits inside came out one by one.

In the end, they all met tragic ends.

“Halt!”

“Chu Feng? You... what are you doing?!”

“Charging protection fees!”

“Huh? What for?!”

“Bang!”

“Ah...”

Chu Feng’s face was filled with a rosy glow. He had robbed over twenty divine sons and saintesses in quick succession and made them cough up protection fees.

Among them, some were told that they, themselves, belonged to Chu Feng. They became his prey—they had their freedom taken away and were about to be sold off.

“Halt, pay the toll.”

Sometimes, Chu Feng would be more civil and didn’t use words like robbery. However, the nature was the same.

The group of divine sons and saintesses had almost gone mad. They had exited the cave residence in delight after putting in great effort, blood and sweat. In the end, they were stopped and robbed.

In the starry sky and on the Origin Beast Platform, many people were badly shocked. This... was too crazy.

“Damn. This demon is deranged. How can he be so rude? The divine sons of our race risked life and limb to bring out these divine items with great difficulty. How can he just rob them all?”

“You should be content. Don’t you see those races that are closer to the Xilin clan? Their divine sons and saintesses were all captured. The demon has announced that these people belong to him!”

In the starry skies, the evolvers from various races were dumbfounded.

Earth, Eastern Sea!

“Halt, hand over protection fees!”

Whoever came out of the underwater cave residence would be robbed regardless of their identity.

The people in the starry sky were speechless. Even their eyes were frozen.

“He sold divine sons, hunted saintesses, and sold Deity meat in the past. Now, he’s engaging in robbery and even taking protection fees. This fellow is an evil tyrant, a bandit, a gangster. He’s truly... the worst. He’s a top-grade scoundrel and a big hoodlum!”

A certain renowned guest sighed. The reason was that the saintess of his race, his granddaughter, was also robbed.
