Chapter 776: Each Harboring Ulterior Motives!
Lian Hongshang realized people were watching, and the situation became extremely awkward, her pretty face instantly blushing bright red.
"Ah, who would have thought that not only is Taoist Li exceptionally powerful, but his taste is also so unique and extraordinary, truly an eye-opener for us all!"
Teng Yue spoke sarcastically, his words dripping with mockery.
Li Chen, unwilling to appear weak, retorted instantly.
"With numerous dangers lurking on Thunder Island, Elder Teng should worry more about himself, lest he loses his life here!"
Upon hearing Li Chen's blatant threat, Teng Yue immediately became enraged, shouting sternly, "Li Chen, what do you mean by that? Are you threatening me?"
"Hehe!"
Li Chen just smiled and remained silent, making Teng Yue feel uneasy.
Furious, Teng Yue was about to confront Li Chen.
"Master, the big picture matters more!"
Just then, Zhang Xi suddenly interjected.
Hearing his disciple Zhang Xi's reminder, Teng Yue's anger subsided a bit.
Having calmed down, Teng Yue was very clear. Considering the terrifying combat power Li Chen had shown before, killing a fourth-level Demon Beast as powerful as a Golden Core Stage cultivator, even if he could defeat him, it would be a scenario of winning but heavily damaging himself. Moreover, he might even get injured in the process.
On this dangerous and murderous Thunder Island. Once injured, it meant becoming prey for others.
Thinking of this, Teng Yue forcibly suppressed the anger in his heart.
"Hmph, Li Chen, this isn't over. We'll wait and see!"
"Fine, we'll see!"
Li Chen chuckled and shook his head, purposely choosing a very desolate path to move forward.
Seeing that this drama was just thunder without rain, leaving them greatly disappointed, everyone also chose a path and moved forward.
Before long, only Teng Yue and Du Feng remained.
Just as Teng Yue was about to choose a path to leave, Du Feng suddenly approached with a smile, starting to strike up a conversation.
"Brother Teng, it's been years since we've last met!"
Teng Yue also responded with a bow, saying, "Hmm, it indeed has been some years!"
Still resentful over the previous affair with Li Chen, he couldn't help but talk down about and scold Li Chen.
Seeing the timing was right, Du Feng looked around and said in a low voice, "Brother Teng, to tell you the truth, our Dongji Sect also has a deep-seated vendetta against that Li Chen!"
Hearing this, Teng Yue was shocked.
"Brother Du, when did Li Chen provoke your Dongji Sect?"
Du Feng didn't answer, instead, he looked towards Wu Tian.
Understanding the cue, Wu Tian stepped forward and said, "Elder Teng, here's what happened. Some time ago, I, together with Sunx Jing, Zixu, and Wang Heu were out on a mission. Li Chen, attracted by Sunx Jing's beauty, started to harass her, leading to a conflict with us!"
"Who would have known, he cultivated some bizarre Divine Skill, making his body extremely formidable. Even joining hands, we were no match for him. Our fellow disciples Zixu and Wang Heu were even beaten to death by him!"
As he finished, he deliberately made a sorrowful expression.
"Ah, he is so powerful that even Brother Wu Tian, you are not his match?"
Zhang Xi was completely infatuated with Wu Tian and immediately let out a gasp of surprise.
Wu Tian looked at her like she was a silly girl and thought to himself: If I let you know that Li Chen is capable of fighting a Quasi-Nascent Soul Strong People, wouldn't your jaw drop in shock?
The reason he didn't reveal the truth was that he worried it would scare away Teng Yue and the others. He was alert and did not want to be cannon fodder.
At this moment, Teng Yue appeared very calm. After a moment of contemplation, he posed the first question.
"Isn't Li Chen known for his preference for men and disinterest in women, how come he harassed your junior sister?"
Wu Tian had not considered this question and was at a loss for words for a while.
Just then, Du Feng suddenly let out a cold laugh: "Brother Teng, haven't you realized that the so-called Young Master Lian, is actually a woman?"
Before Teng Yue could respond, Bi Tao, who seemed to have thought of something, suddenly stood up and said first: "Yes, yes, yes, she is indeed a woman. I saw her once at the city gate, I'm absolutely sure."
Seeing his own disciple so certain, Teng Yue also believed it without doubt.
"So that's why she looks so delicate. By the way, Brother Du, what do you mean by telling me all this?"
Du Feng replied: "Brother Teng, since you asked, I'll get straight to the point. I want to join you in killing this Li Chen!"
After saying this, he added: "Moreover, as far as I know, he is only involved with a female disciple under Jing Yi Immortal. Even if we kill him, the Moon God Palace won't blame us."
"Besides, if we do it cleanly, the people from the Moon God Palace wouldn't even know. On Thunder Island, isn't it quite normal for some people to die? Especially since that kid is only at the Late-stage Foundation Establishment!"
Du Feng's last remark dispelled all of Teng Yue's doubts.
Moreover, since it was brought up by him, if he did not help, he might offend Du Feng.
After weighing the pros and cons, Teng Yue decided on the spot and said through gritted teeth: "Fine, as per Brother Du's words, I will personally slaughter that kid!"
"That's easy to say, when the time comes, Brother Teng, you can do whatever you want with him!"
Du Feng, seeing that Teng Yue had agreed, responded very happily.
However, what he was thinking was: With Teng Yue acting as cannon fodder and with the aid of Wu Tian and others, he was more than 90% confident in capturing and killing him.
He even thought whether he should kill all witnesses to eliminate future troubles if he really could seize the treasure.
Thinking this, his glance swept over Teng Yue and others. He also glanced at Wu Tian and Sun Jing, the disciples of his sect, nonchalantly.
Having made up his mind, Du Feng laid out his entire plan.
"Brother Teng, since you want to personally kill Li Chen. Later, you and Wu Tian will take action. Sun Jing, Zhang Xi, and some of the juniors will handle the girl dressed as a boy. I will cut off his escape route in the dark, in case he tries to flee!"
Before Du Feng finished speaking, Teng Yue decisively agreed.
"Good, let's follow Brother Du's plan. This time, that Li Chen kid will definitely not escape!"
However, in Wu Tian's eyes, a complex light flickered.
Li Chen's magical treasure possesses the terrifying power to kill Quasi-Nascent Soul Strong People. Teaming up with Teng Yue at most could only tie with him. If the opponent desperately resisted, his own life would be in danger.
However, since both Du Feng and Teng Yue had decided, it wasn't easy for him to object and could only adapt to the situation.
If Li Chen became desperate and fought Teng Yue and Du Feng to a standstill, perhaps he could take advantage of the situation.
Thinking of the terrifying power of that magical treasure, a fervent light also appeared in Wu Tian's eyes.
