Chapter 344 - The Battle of the Factions, Make a Move on Their Own

The Dark-sky Azure Dragon stopped spewing dragon flames, leaving behind a pitch-black skeleton. Geer had once used dragon breath to corrode a beast. It was a totem dragon, but it could not resist Chu Feng’s overlord level familiar at all. When the dragon breath dissipated, it had turned into a skeleton as well!

Back then, the skeleton had been corroded to the point it was only worth 20 million points. To Chu Feng, it was just better than nothing. Now, he had used 30% of his strength to smash this skeleton, but the skeleton remained! If the blood dragon’s skin had been of the same material, the Dark-sky Azure Dragon wouldn’t have ended the battle so quickly! Unfortunately, Chu Feng hadn’t studied materials much, so he really couldn’t recognize what kind of material it was. Otherwise, if he used this material to make equipment for his beasts and himself, although they couldn’t compare to the Dark-sky Azure Dragon’s dragon scale armor, they could still be considered rare pieces of equipment.

Just as Chu Feng was about to store it in his beast world, he suddenly stopped. He smashed the dragon’s tail with force, and after blasting away the pitch-black attachment on the surface, a ghastly white bone was exposed inside! This white bone was different from ordinary objects. Although it was white, it was shimmering with red light. Even if he didn’t recognize it, he could tell that it was definitely no ordinary object.

Chu Feng didn’t have any clues at the moment, so he decided to put the blood dragon skeleton into the beast world first. Compared to using spatial treasures, he was more used to using a part of his beast world as a storage compartment. Now, he was used to using it. Just like that, the first guardian beast of the Bloody Pagoda was destroyed.

The pagoda spirit’s notification came late.

[On the fifth day after the pagoda’s gates have opened, one of the four guardian beasts has been eliminated. A corner of the seal has been removed. Thank you to the person who has worked hard to revive the evil spirits, Chu Feng.]

[The faction war has begun. Other than those who have already decided on their faction, those who have entered the pagoda can choose to stop or speed up the process of the evil spirits’ revivals.]

[Those who chose to revive the evil spirits can command the blood souls to kill anyone who enters the pagoda. Those who chose to stop the revival of the evil spirits will receive a holy buff that will make the new blood curse seals on them disappear instantly. The damage the latter deals to the enemy and the blood souls will also be increased.]

[At noon on the seventh day, the side with the greater number of people remaining in the pagoda will win.]

[The side with the lesser number will all be killed!]

As soon as the long string of notifications sounded, all the people who entered the Bloody Pagoda erupted.

“What’s with the battle of factions? Isn’t it just a battle between us and the blood souls, the four-directions guardian beasts, and the evil spirits? Why is there suddenly a battle between the people who entered the pagoda?”

“F*ck, doesn’t that mean that apart from killing the blood souls, we even have to guard against other people?”

“Not necessarily. Even without this two-faction battle, with the various factions in the pagoda fighting each other, even unaffiliated cultivators wouldn’t be able to avoid the fight…”

“Indeed. I wonder what’s going on. Hadn’t they been hiding well a few days ago? Suddenly, they’re like powder kegs, exploding as soon as they’re lit!”

“One of the guardian beasts has died, a corner of the seal has been broken, and the evil spirits are being resurrected…”

“Could it be that the death of the guardian beasts will lift the seal on the evil spirits? And the evil spirits will be reborn when the seal is completely broken?”

“The faction that chooses to resurrect the evil spirits can urge the blood souls to kill the other people who entered the pagoda, but the blood curse seals on them won’t be broken. Besides, I wonder if we can still kill blood souls after joining this faction, or if our kills will still count.”

“If the answer is no, then won’t we lose the reward of killing blood souls in the Bloody Pagoda?”

“If we choose to prevent the revival, the blood curse seals can be removed. Moreover, we will receive a bonus when killing blood souls. It seems to be more advantageous…”

“But since Chu Feng has joined the faction of the evil spirit’s revival, is it possible for the other faction to win?”

“The most important thing is that the score will be settled on the seventh day. One side will win and the other side will all die. This is simply forcing us to kill each other!”

Among the people who were discussing animatedly, especially those who belonged to factions or had relatives and friends in the pagoda, they quickly gathered and immediately began all kinds of discussions…

At this moment, Chu Feng, who was the center of many parties’ attention, had been stopped by the temple officials’ team. After not seeing each other for two days, the four God Kings of the Eastern Temple could not hide their fatigue, but the six figures opposite them were in high spirits. At this time, if someone who did not understand the situation looked at both parties, they would think that the young man was more like the temple official at first glance.

Chu Feng was a little puzzled and asked frankly, “Why are you stopping me?”

Although Cena and Cate were his spiritual slaves, he did not want to use them. He only planned to use them as his spies in the temple or as bait to lure out the God Emperor in the future and kill him. Chu Feng felt that the only connection between them was the interaction they had earlier.

Without waiting for Richardson to speak, Cena took the lead and said, “Master, a faction battle was not recorded in the trip to the Bloody Pagoda last time. I’m afraid that things have changed!”

Chu Feng chuckled, “The pagoda spirit did not follow its previous moves, so you guys are panicking?”

Ever since Cena’s original worldview had been changed, many of his previous disgusting traits had disappeared. He was now even willing to share the information he had.

Richardson had gotten a lot of information from Cena, and a cautious look appeared on his face, “My Lord, it’s not that we’re making a fuss over nothing, but the Bloody Pagoda has changed too much this time… We’re worried that the pagoda spirit will do something again.”

To be honest, Chu Feng also felt that the pagoda spirit had played too many tricks this time. He raised his eyebrows, “What do you think we should do?”

Richardson frowned as he shook his head repeatedly, “We originally planned to kill the four-directions guardian beasts, but now, we don’t even know if we should continue the search. Moreover, as temple officials, we have no clue about the pagoda seizing mission this time.”

Speaking of the mission assigned by the temple, only Richardson and the temple official beside him were anxious. As for Cena and Cate, they did not take the temple seriously at the moment. Of course, on the surface, Cena and Cate still acted as they did in the past. There was not much disconnection between their current and past selves. With Chu Feng’s current level of mental control, if he had not taken the initiative to reveal it, even the true Gods would not become suspicious.

Not only the two temple officials, but all four temple officials who had entered the Bloody Pagoda this time had all been marked by Chu Feng. Among them, Richardson was more special. There was more than one mark on his body. In other words, he was also a spy of an unknown faction. Chu Feng had tried to beat around the bush and found that Richardson did not seem to know about this.

Chu Feng did not plan to alert the enemy, but later on, he sensed that the fox spirit’s body had the mark of a lower God Lord. After thinking for a while, he decided to mark all four temple officials so that he would not miss any major events later on.

His thoughts changed quickly, but only a few breaths had passed in reality. Chu Feng looked at the four official temples of the Eastern Temple and said calmly, “Then you should go kill the guardian beasts according to your original plan.”

Richardson was a little hesitant, “What about the mission to seize the pagoda?”

“When the Bloody Pagoda opened the last time, didn’t the Eastern Temple send a God Emperor? This time is probably no exception. Just wait quietly.”

The four temple officials looked at each other and agreed in unison. Then, they turned around and left.

Chu Feng looked into the distance. He wondered how many beasts he would need to kill to get a special token. If he really got it, would the temple react in any other way…

For example, could he take the temple for himself?
