A loud noise erupted ahead, and Chen Zhou paused for a moment before immediately hiding in a small clump of bushes on a hillside.
Chen Zhou looked closely and saw that there was a very long chasm in front of him. Sure enough, if he didn't have a flying technique, he would never be able to cross that chasm. The only way was to use the plank road in the middle.
At this moment, loud crashing sounds came from the plank road, as streams of true energy collided and numerous hidden weapons flew back and forth on the plank road.
The people on the plank road were Wo Yuan and Su Feng, whom Chen Zhou had met before.
At this moment, Wo Yuan and Su Feng were in a very bad state, because they were being besieged by the Su Long Sect.
Su Feng remained hidden behind Wo Yuan, making no move; it was almost entirely Wo Yuan who was fighting the enemy.
Just as Chen Zhou was wondering why Su Feng wasn't fighting back, the Su Long Sect member spoke first: "You two, surrender immediately and stop resisting! Su Feng! Do you know your crime?!"
This person's face was covered with black dragon patterns, which were now radiating golden light, indicating that he was at the peak of his strength. Upon closer inspection, Chen Zhou realized that he was actually at the peak of the Heartbeat Stage! His strength was even above that of Wo Yuan.
Moreover, the Sulong sect has a large and powerful force.
The situation Chen Zhou least wanted to see has indeed happened. Right now, Wo Yuan and Su Feng are in a very dangerous situation, and their elopement plan has been discovered.
"You audacious thief! How dare you seduce someone from my Sulong Sect! We will execute you on the spot!" An elder from the Sulong Sect shouted angrily.
The current situation is very unfavorable for Wo Yuan and Su Feng, not only because the Su Long Sect has a large number of people, but also because the two of them are on the plank road and cannot use their strength at all, and can only be forced to defend.
Since Su Feng hasn't made a move, the current situation is that Wo Yuan is holding off all the members of the Su Long Sect alone.
Even if Wo Yuan's strength reached the Heartbeat stage, under these circumstances, it would be impossible for her to defeat all the members of the Su Long Sect by herself.
"Why didn't Brother Su Feng make a move?" Chen Zhou asked, puzzled. Although Brother Su Feng only had the strength of the Fusion stage, he was still a formidable force when combined with the dragon pattern. If he had made a move, Wo Yuan would have been in a much better situation.
Thinking of this, Chen Zhou suddenly realized why Brother Su Feng didn't have dragon markings on his face! On the other hand, everyone in the Su Long Sect had dragon markings, albeit very dark black ones, but they still shone brightly when activated. Su Feng, however, had nothing on his face except for his beard.
Could it be that Brother Su Feng hasn't cultivated the Dragon Pattern?
“Su Feng is a member of the Su Long Sect. It seems that he is not fighting against the Su Long Sect members because of old friendships,” Ren Lao calmly analyzed.
Indeed, Su Feng grew up in the Su Long Sect and had long developed an affection for it. That's why he didn't make a move.
"If Brother Sufeng doesn't intervene, she definitely won't be able to hold on. It seems it's only a matter of time before she's caught," Chen Zhou murmured.
Just as Chen Zhou was chatting with Elder Ren, there was new progress on the plank road.
"Please, elders, grant our request! Wo Yuan and I are truly in love and love each other. We have no choice but to do this today, and we hope the elders will grant our request!"
Su Feng pulled Wo Yuan behind him and then spoke loudly. His voice carried steadily to the ears of every elder. The next moment, Su Feng actually knelt down. It is said that a man's knees are worth gold, and a man only kneels to heaven, earth, and his parents. Now, Su Feng knelt before the Su Long Sect and did not fight against the Su Long Sect members. This gesture of loyalty was heavy enough.
Even Chen Zhou was a little moved.
"If they still won't let them go after all this, then the Su Long Sect is too stubborn," Chen Zhou said. Brother Su Feng's strength is not considered top-tier within the Su Long Sect, so why not let him go? Chen Zhou thought that if the Su Long Sect was only staying because Brother Su Feng was exceptionally strong, then that would be understandable.
“Su Feng…” Wo Yuan withdrew her true energy and looked at her man kneeling in front of her. She felt a mix of emotions. She had heard Su Feng talk about the Su Long Sect a long time ago, and she could see his feelings for the Su Long Sect. However, she was only now confirming them.
Su Feng knelt heavily, burying his head completely, and even bowed down.
"The Sulong Sect is above, please accept the three bows of your unworthy disciple."
"Bang!"
"Bang!"
"Bang!"
Su Feng bowed deeply three times on the ground, the sound of which could be heard even by Chen Zhou, who was far away. When Su Feng raised his head again, blood was already flowing from his forehead, which showed how powerful those three bows were.
"Hmph! You still know you're a member of the Sulong Sect? Not only have you violated ancestral teachings and colluded with the Wolong Sect, but you've also betrayed the sect and even attempted to flee? Do you know what crime this is?!" The old man continued to shout, his anger undiminished, but rather intensified.
"A sect is a completely different entity from a clan, because sects place great importance on rules. As the saying goes, 'Without rules, there can be no order.' Once the rules are violated within a sect, the consequences are very serious." At this moment, Elder Ren also had a very low opinion of Su Feng and Wo Yuan. The Su Long Sect would definitely not let go of this matter easily.
If we let this matter go, there will be a second, a third, and even a fourth case.
They absolutely do not want such a thing to happen again, so they are prepared to make an example of someone.
"In that case, the Su Long Sect won't let Su Feng go," Chen Zhou said solemnly.
"Do you see any sign that they're willing to back down?" Old Ren couldn't help but ask.
Chen Zhou glanced at the people from the Su Long Sect. Sure enough, none of them showed any intention of restraining their true energy. On the contrary, the true energy they released was even more fierce. Meanwhile, Wo Yuan on the plank road had already restrained her true energy. If the Su Long Sect were to launch an attack now, neither of them would have any room to defend themselves.
