Chapter 1252: The Wheel Of Fortune Turns

Yi Feng's calm demeanor stemmed from his extensive experience. He had become increasingly adept at handling such situations, anticipating various possibilities before taking action. He didn't hold high hopes, so naturally, he wasn't disappointed.

At least he had done a good deed and gained some experience. It wasn't a wasted effort.

Moreover, he wasn't someone who killed indiscriminately.

Even though he had only heard a rough outline of the situation, he had prepared thoroughly before making his move!

Since there was a mine and the ability to enslave so many cultivators, this so-called Black Dragon Divine Guard must be formidable. Stirring up some trouble would definitely attract a big boss in the future!

The forces of the Godfall Land couldn't all be weaklings, right?

This battle had been part of Yi Feng's plan from the very beginning.

He had everything under control!

Watching Yi Feng land calmly, his expression unperturbed, the surrounding cultivators were even more impressed. They admired the senior's composed demeanor and repeatedly clasped their fists in gratitude, their eyes filled with reverence.

Tsk tsk.

This is what it means to be a true master who doesn't show off!

Only now did everyone understand why Yi Feng had acted so unconventionally that day, even daring to ignore the strict laws of the Ancient Boat and cross the vast sea.

In the face of absolute strength, all so-called laws and dangers are like fleeting clouds!

Even Lin Ruochen and others, who had impressive backgrounds, were full of admiration and bowed respectfully.

"Senior, your righteousness puts us to shame..."

Yi Feng tactfully returned the courtesy and dismissed the crowd.

"Everyone, there's no need for formalities."

"Now that no one dares to oversee you, if you can leave, do so as soon as possible."

After all, he had just wrecked their operation. It was expected that reinforcements would arrive. Yi Feng had no reservations and was waiting for them to come. Whether it was life or death, he was ready to fight, but he couldn't involve others.

As soon as his advice was spoken, the disheveled cultivators exchanged glances.

"This..."

"Senior! The captain is dead, and my cultivation seal has been lifted. Even if my cultivation is lacking, I can still be of some help!"

"That's right! Senior, you've helped us so selflessly. How can we just think of running away?"

"We're all outsiders. We should unite!"

"Exactly! With so many of us and Senior leading the charge, since we've already started, let's go all out!"

The cultivators spoke up one after another, their blood boiling from the recent battle.

In the blink of an eye, Yi Feng was surrounded by a dense crowd, feeling a bit like the leader of a beggar gang.

He was truly speechless.

Although these people meant well, why were they so stubborn? He was determined to risk his life, and they wanted to join him. Were all cultivators this chivalrous?

Why couldn't he ever persuade them?

Come on.

You've all been cultivating for thousands of years. Can't we be a bit more rational?

Seeing the crowd's fighting spirit rising, Yi Feng had no choice but to put on a stern face and dissuade them.

"Everyone!"

"To be honest, there might be a big battle ahead, and I may not have the upper hand. Staying here is extremely dangerous. The elite Black Dragon Divine Guards might come, and it could be a life-or-death situation!"

"I deeply appreciate your loyalty, but you should leave as soon as possible. We'll meet again!"

As soon as his words fell, the surrounding cultivators became even more enthusiastic!

A few old men immediately rolled up their sleeves!

"Senior Yi, you're mistaken! We've suffered great humiliation, and now that our cultivation is restored, we've reached our limit. Even if we're no match, we'll fight to the death with you!"

"That's right! We're all outsider cultivators. We didn't come to the Godfall Land to live in fear. Let's fight!"

"Whether we fight now or later, we might as well go all out. Let's take on those so-called elites!"

"We're cultivators. What is there to fear in a battle?"

Even Lin Ruochen stepped forward, gritting his teeth and bowing.

"Senior, we all wish to stand with you. There's no need to say more! We've endured enough humiliation, and many of us have already had our minds shaken. If we fear before the battle, how can we hope to achieve the Great Dao in the future?"

Looking at the crowd's fervor, Yi Feng helplessly clicked his tongue.

"Well... alright."

He was determined to take the risk, and everyone else felt the same. Since the stakes were clear and they had made up their minds, he couldn't force them to choose otherwise.

Helplessly raising his eyes, Yi Feng noticed that the Black Dragon Divine Guards were still frozen in mid-air.

Blinking, he asked in confusion, "Huh? Why haven't you run away?"

His casual tone, even more nonchalant than the captain's from that day, carried an even more terrifying confidence, sending a shiver through everyone's hearts.

Sss...

Over a hundred Black Dragon Divine Guards gasped in shock!

A ruthless man!

Truly a ruthless man!

To kill the captain with a single sword strike and then ask such a soul-crushing question—this man's cultivation and methods were undoubtedly horrifying. In his eyes, they were probably less than ants!

The wheel of fortune had truly turned. The ants were now themselves.

Run?

What a provoking question!

They weren't fools!

If they could run, why would they stay here for even a moment?

The Black Dragon Divine Guards were both terrified and resentful, but they didn't dare show any disrespect. They immediately landed and prostrated themselves, obediently admitting their guilt!

"Senior, please spare us! We are at your mercy!"

Yi Feng was momentarily stunned.

Looking at the hundreds of people sincerely kneeling, seemingly terrified and genuinely remorseful, he felt a bit conflicted. He didn't know how to "deal" with them.

Kill them all?

These weren't demons, and they had already admitted their mistakes. He wasn't some executioner; how could he just kill them indiscriminately?

After pondering for a while, Yi Feng turned to the cultivators.

"Everyone, I'll leave them to you to handle."

Upon hearing this, the cultivators clasped their fists, and many suggestions were immediately offered.

"Senior Yi, some of them have shed the blood of our fellow cultivators. They must pay with their lives!"

"Senior, I boldly suggest that they should also experience the taste of mining and understand the humiliation we endured!"

"That's a brilliant idea!"

Yi Feng found this quite reasonable and nodded in agreement.

"Hmm, that makes sense!"

"Those who have grievances can seek revenge, and the others can mine for you. We'll wait for their reinforcements and prepare for a bloody battle!"

As Yi Feng spoke, the cultivators all bowed in unison, and the Black Dragon Divine Guards obediently complied.

Before long, the mine was bustling with activity again, but the roles had been reversed.

The Black Dragon Divine Guards, their cultivation sealed, were now mining like ordinary laborers, panting and sweating but not daring to complain.

What could they do? Their opponents had found a powerful ally, and they had to face reality. Survival was more important than pride or status.

The cultivators stood guard, gleefully watching the mining scene.

Occasionally, a Black Dragon Divine Guard would try to slack off, only to feel a sharp gaze upon them, prompting them to immediately refocus and work even harder, each one trying to outdo the others!

Behind them, the cultivators had set up a pavilion where Yi Feng, the "ruthless man," was leisurely drinking tea. His fearless demeanor sent shivers down the spines of the Black Dragon Divine Guards.

Though he appeared relaxed, in their eyes, he was a thousand times more terrifying than their former captain!

Before long, the mining speed far exceeded what it had been before, and the Black Dragon Divine Guards had all turned into human excavators!
