”Brother Chu Feng, you ……” Seeing that Chu Feng actually chased after him, Li Rang was at a loss for words.
He really couldn’t figure out that when the elders of the Copper Bamboo Forest and the Iron Bamboo Forest had personally invited Chu Feng and proposed so many favorable conditions, Chu Feng would still choose to join him in the Abolition Bamboo Forest, which really wasn’t in line with common sense.
After all, not to mention the strength of the Ruined Bamboo Forest, far inferior to the Iron Bamboo Forest and the Copper Bamboo Forest, and the Ruined Bamboo Forest could not give anything to Chu Feng, compared to the Iron Bamboo Forest and the Copper Bamboo Forest, it simply did not have any advantage ah.
“Senior brother Li Rang, could it be that you are unwilling to let me join the Waste Bamboo Forest and become a titular disciple?” Chu Feng said with a smile.
“Willing, of course I am.” Despite being very puzzled, Li Rang nodded his head tightly, deeply afraid of missing out on a good seedling like Chu Feng.
“Then write my name on the Ruined Bamboo Forest’s roster of titular disciples.” Chu Feng pointed to the entrenchment in Li Rang’s hand, as long as Chu Feng’s name was written on it, then Chu Feng would formally become the Ruined Bamboo Forest’s titular disciple.
“Fine, fine, I’ll write it here.” And naturally, Li Rong did not hesitate and raised his pen to write.
“Stop.” But right at that moment, that Elder of the Copper Bamboo Forest, however, violently burst out, and at the same time, once again walked up to Chu Feng’s proximity, and bitterly advised Chu Feng:
“Little friend Chu Feng, the Abolition Forest is a place where wastes stay, even the elders there are all wastes, they can’t give you anything, for you to go there is simply destroying your own future.”
“Yes, little friend Chu Feng, you should think about it carefully, don’t delay yourself.” At the same time, the other Elders were also swarming around, none of them wanted to miss out on a genius like Chu Feng, and they were all persuading bitterly.
“Heh …… it’s not for you guys to bother about.” However, with regards to their persuasion, Chu Feng was faintly smiling, not even bothering to say more, indifferent to the extreme.
After saying those words, Chu Feng even directly snatched the perch and pen in Li Rang’s hand, and on that himself, wrote his name.
Regarding this scene, the people present were all dumbstruck, unable to imagine that Chu Feng would be so resolute, joining the Abandoned Bamboo Forest, that was a place that even the trash did not want to go to.
“Senior brother Li Rang, let’s go.”
However, with regards to the crowd’s reaction, Chu Feng simply ignored it, and instead smiled and said to Li Lang.
“Eh…… well……” At this moment, Li Rang was also stunned, and only after hearing Chu Feng’s words did he slow down and turn around to lead the way for Chu Feng.
Just like that, Chu Feng and Li Rang left this place and headed to the Abandoned Bamboo Forest, leaving behind only a group of disciples with puzzled faces, as well as elders with ugly faces.
And under Li Rung’s leading the way, Chu Feng finally saw what kind of place this Ruined Bamboo Forest, which even the trash despised, was.
This place was actually very large, a vast land, but the scenery was truly not good, it simply did not have the magic of the Sacred Land of Martial Arts, much less the wonders of the Falling Bamboo Forest.
The bamboos of the Deciduous Bamboo Forest, not only do they shine brightly, but they can also reach up to the sky, but the bamboos of this Abandoned Bamboo Forest are neither thick nor distinctive, and they are even withered and yellowed, as if they are extremely lacking in nutrients, and are going to dry up to death.
In fact, this is indeed a piece of abandoned land, compared with the beautiful bamboo forest in the distance, this place is simply miserable, like a ruin.
Not only is there no pleasing natural scenery, even the buildings are in disrepair and dilapidated.
Walking all the way here, Chu Feng had not even seen a single silhouette, as if this desolate land, there were only two people, Chu Feng and Li Rang.
“Senior brother Li Rang, this ruined bamboo forest, it wouldn’t be just the two of us, would it?” Chu Feng asked curiously.
“Of course not, although there are few people in my Waste Bamboo Forest, there are still dozens of senior brothers and sisters.” Li Rang smiled and returned.
“Dozens of them?” Chu Feng had already realized something.
“It’s dozens, you’ll know in a moment.” Li Rang nodded with a smile.
Subsequently, Chu Feng did not ask any more questions until after arriving at an ancient palace, after Li Rang sent out a signal, the senior brothers and sisters of this Abandoned Bamboo Forest appeared in front of Chu Feng one after another.
Other than Li Rang, there were a total of fifty-nine people, and their ages, ranged from teenage children, to hundreds of years old.
They were crippled, mute, and blind, there just wasn’t a single normal person, in short, they were either missing arms or broken legs, all of them were disabled.
As for their cultivation levels, they were also miserable, most of them were at the Martial Monarch Realm, and the weakest, even at the Xuanwu Realm.
Such a cultivation level was nothing in the Eastern Seas, if it was in the continent of Kyushu, it was even considered an expert.
However, in the Sacred Land of Martial Arts, in a large power like the Fallen Leaf Bamboo Forest, it was simply unimaginable, because, it was just a little too weak, there was no foothold to speak of.
Moreover, listening to what Li Rang said, these people are all the people in the Fallen Bamboo Forest, all of them are disciples, there are no elders, the only elder, is the principal of the Fallen Bamboo Forest, that is Hong Qiang.
By now, Chu Feng finally knew, why waste bamboo forest, even those wastes are looked down on, because here, is indeed very bad.
“I wonder where Elder Hong Qiang is now?”
Chu Feng opened his mouth and asked, he did not care if this Ruined Bamboo Forest was in the end if it was down and out, Hong Qiang was where he had joined the Ruined Bamboo Forest for the purpose of coming here, he had come here in order to see Hong Qiang.
“Hong Qiang, the elder, has been in seclusion for many years, I’ve been here for three years, and I’ve only seen his elder once.” Li Rong said.
“Long years of seclusion? Then I wonder where he is in seclusion?” Chu Feng asked.
“This, we do not know either.” Li Rong shook his head.
At that moment, Chu Feng looked at the other disciples, and those people also shook their heads, stating that they did not know where Hong Qiang was in seclusion.
At this moment, Chu Feng was depressed, having rushed all the way over here, and having gone through all the trouble of mixing into this Abandoned Bamboo Forest, it was only because he wanted to see Hong Qiang.
But now it can be good, this Hong Qiang actually long years closed, and no one knows where he is closed, this wants Chu Feng to go where to see him?
“Senior Hong Qiang!!!”
“Senior Hong Qiang ！！！！！”
“Hung Keung senior ！！！！！！！”
At the moment of helplessness, Chu Feng had no choice but to yell out at the top of his lungs.
His voice, which was extremely loud, was better than thunder, shaking the bamboo and causing the earth to tremble.
Frighteningly, some of the Abandoned Bamboo Forest disciples that were present hurriedly blocked their ears and retreated back and forth, and the gazes they looked at Chu Feng with were filled with fear and awe.
But unfortunately, Chu Feng shouted for a long time, frightening the disciples and startling away the birds and beasts, but there was no response from Hong Qiang.
“Senior Disciple Chu Feng, could it be that you came here in order to find Master Hong Qiang?” Suddenly, Li Rang asked.
“En.” Chu Feng did not deny it and nodded.
“I wonder what relationship Senior Brother Chu Feng has with Master Hong Qiang?” Li Zhong asked curiously.
“There was a one-sided relationship.” Chu Feng said.
“In that case, although I don’t know what Master Chu Feng has to do to find Master Hong Qiang, if you don’t have any urgent matters, you might as well wait here for a period of time, Elder Hong Qiang is the master of this place, and will always show up.”
“Because I have heard that although Master Master Hong Qiang has been in seclusion for many years, and each person knows, exactly where he is in seclusion, he has never left the Abandoned Bamboo Forest.” Li Rong said.
“In that case, Senior Hong Qiang, is still in this Ruined Bamboo Forest?” Chu Feng asked.
“By all rights, he should be there.” Li Rong returned.
“Many thanks to Senior Brother Li Ling for his guidance.” Hearing those words, the already despairing Chu Feng’s heart glowed with a bit of hope again.
He decided to look for himself in this Abandoned Bamboo Forest, he had Heaven’s Eyes, if Hong Qiang was really in the Abandoned Bamboo Forest, then he would definitely be able to find him.
But if, even his heavenly eyes can not be found, that would indicate that Hong Qiang most likely not in the abandoned bamboo forest, and this shows that he and Hong Qiang have no destiny, although again reluctant, but also can only stop there.
In that case, Chu Feng would not stay here and waste time, he would directly leave, after all, he still had a lot of important things to do.
Thus, Chu Feng began, wandering within the Abandoned Bamboo Forest, carefully observing with his Heavenly Eyes, carefully searching any corner.
And this Waste Bamboo Forest was very large, even if it was Chu Feng, wanting to walk all over the corners of this Waste Bamboo Forest, it would take a not-so-short period of time.
At this moment, the sky was already dark, and Chu Feng had searched for several hours within the Waste Bamboo Forest, but had found nothing.
It seemed like he had really gone backward, and was destined to not be able to get what he wished for, not being able to see Hong Qiang.
“Alas, it seems that it really was a wasted trip, heaven’s will is hard to defeat.”
At this moment, Chu Feng stood above the night sky and looked at the ruined bamboo forest below, his face filled with helplessness and disappointment as he sighed unwillingly.
“That’s ……”
However, all of a sudden, Chu Feng’s pupils shrunk, and with a flash of light in front of his eyes, he began to carefully observe the below.
“Heavens, this can’t be true ……”
And this careful look does not matter, Chu Feng but has long been a great change of expression, this disappointment in the eyes, covered with the color of surprise and ecstasy, in that depressed face, even more bloomed a brilliant smile.
