Chapter 73 -71: Primary Wind Concealment, Chu Feng’s Tracking
Chu Feng rubbed his hands together, focusing his thoughts on the plus sign behind “Rapid Wind Steps.”
After a moment of blurring, the plus sign suddenly disappeared, the Attribute Points decreased by 4, and the realm behind “Rapid Wind Steps” changed to master (0%).
Immediately following this, Chu Feng felt a slight warmth in his legs and feet as if they were undergoing some mysterious optimization.
At the same time, insights flooded into his mind, making him repeatedly have realizations, exclaiming in surprise:
‘Damn, True Force can be used this way?’
‘This method is brilliant, why didn’t I think of it before!’
After a while, having absorbed all the insights, Chu Feng then looked at the Martial Technique trait section on the Attribute Panel.
“Rapid Wind Steps (Human Rank Mid-level)” master (0%)
Trait: Primary Wind Concealment
‘Wind Concealment? What does that mean, could it be invisibility? But why is there a “wind” word in front?’ Chu Feng was astonished.
However, with everyone huddled in the small cave, there was decidedly no opportunity to test it.
He had to set it aside for now, planning to try it out when no one was around the next day.
Wang Erbao was still muttering curses behind him, and Chu Feng walked over and kicked him, “Shut up, you’re making a racket!”
He suppressed the rebellious Wang Erbao and squatting down, he solemnly said to the others:
“They are not lingering souls, but evenly distributed across the entire forest, which is why we encounter them wherever we go.
If it weren’t for Su, we wouldn’t even have a place or time to rest!”
Chu Feng seriously said, “They give me the feeling that they are combing the area for something, or maybe… someone!”
He glanced at Wang Erbao, who was also looking back at him.
The two of them intuitively realized, those Bloodskin Ghost Demons and Demon Blood Substrains, they might be searching for them!
The trialists of this journey!
This Demon Realm trial was full of trickery from the start, met with much opposition, yet still forcefully pushed forward by Chen Fei through quite unscrupulous means.
Pushing the trial forward, what benefit does it bring him?
Chen Fei pushed this seemingly unprofitable task single-handedly, which meant there must be tremendous interests hidden behind the scenes!
Chu Feng even boldly guessed that Chen Fei’s gang might be in contact with the Demon Clan in the Blood Tree Demon Realm!
Otherwise, it completely fails to explain why, as soon as the trialists stepped into this damned place, they coincidentally faced a major upheaval.
All their bases destroyed, the gray curtain completely sealed off, communication signals utterly crippled.
There were patrolling Wraith Demons everywhere, Demon Blood Substrains disguised as ordinary trees acting as spies were everywhere.
Clearly, they aimed to completely sever their escape routes, making it impossible for anyone to flee!
But another question arose: What do those demons want with them?
What kind of conspiracy necessitates such an effort to capture them, ten Martial Apprentices as insignificant as ants?
Chu Feng was puzzled.
Su Guiyong, having less information than them, was even more confused.
Afterward, everyone rested separately, with Chu Feng, Su Guiyong, and Wang Erbao taking turns to keep watch.
…
A quiet night passed, and early the next day.
Chu Feng was suddenly awoken by Wang Erbao, who whispered urgently, “Demons have captured a group of people and are passing by here!”
Chu Feng jolted awake and quietly approached the cave entrance, peeking through the crevice.
He saw a group of Bloodskin Ghost Demons escorting a group of people deeper into the forest. Their path took them right in front of the cave, where Chu Feng and his companions saw them clearly.
Chu Feng observed their movements, his brows deeply furrowed.

There were over forty Wraith Demons and seven or eight Light Demon Soldiers.
The leaders were three Envoy Level Wraith Demons, exuding a strong oppressive force that could be felt even from a great distance.
Surrounded by these Wraith Demons were more than twenty people, prodded forward by the long claws of the demons, staggering along with injuries on their bodies. Both men and women were completely naked, apparently having been stripped of all their gear.
Among them, even two trialists looked dispirited as they squeezed into the crowd, receiving special attention from two Demon Soldiers.
Their particular interest in the trialists confirmed Chu Feng’s suspicions:
The Wraith Demons’ desperate actions over the past two days were likely aimed at them, the trialists.
Chu Feng watched the people walk further away, then returned to the depths of the cave and whispered to the other three:
“Just hiding here isn’t a solution; not understanding the cause of the crisis means we can never escape.
“I plan to hide my tracks and follow them to see what’s happening.
“Su, you stay here and take care of Sister Li Xuan. Erbao, you stay too.”
Su Guiyong nodded. With Li Xuan still asleep and her leg injury not yet healed, making it hard for her to move, he couldn’t just leave his girlfriend behind and follow Chu Feng on an adventure.
Wang Erbao shook his head: “I want to come with you; I can cover for you.”
Chu Feng thought for a moment and said, “No, you’re not adept at movement techniques, but there’s something you need to do for me!
“Be my eyes. Keep an eye on the surroundings and observe the behaviors of those demons. We’ll exchange information when I get back.
“I might miss some crucial information while I’m scouting.
“This is very important and crucial for our escape, so take it seriously!”
Actually, Chu Feng wanted to say that if it were just himself, even if he encountered an Innate level being, he could almost certainly escape unscathed.
But with two people, he wasn’t confident he could get them both out from under an attack by Innate level demons.
However, such words were too difficult to accept, so he couldn’t say them aloud.
Wang Erbao pondered for a moment, then nodded: “Alright then, go ahead without worries, I’ll cover your back.”
Chu Feng rolled his eyes, nodded silently with Su Guiyong who was in tacit agreement, stealthily exited the cave, set up a disguise, and followed the tracks on the ground.
…
Along the way, he heightened all his senses to the maximum, doing his best to distinguish between Demon Blood Substrains and ordinary trees, and avoided any patrols that came his way.
When encountering an escapable encirclement, Chu Feng would pretend to just pass by without noticing the Demon Blood Substrains, and when passing, he would strike them fatally by surprise.
Following the large group’s tracks to the central area, the bustling scene in front of him set off turbulent waves in his heart.
This group of Bloodskin Ghost Demons, classified in textbooks as a beast-like race, was unexpectedly using tools, showing signs of civilization!
He watched as those leading Demon Emissaries, after offering to the Demon Blood Substrains, placed a clay pot containing a brownish liquid secreted by them into a thatched hut, then roared and chased away the nearby Wraith Demons and left straightaway.
He suddenly realized that this brown liquid collected by the Wraith Demons might be what they use for evolution.
At the same time, he saw a group of people, including trialists, all being herded to the vicinity of the thatched hut, to a fenced clearing.
There were not only more than twenty hostages inside, but Chu Feng also spotted four or five trialists gathered together.
Several Demon Spirits were standing guard around the clearing, staring intently at these humans to prevent them from escaping.
Occasionally glancing towards the thatched hut, their gazes clung on longingly, faces displaying covetous expressions.
Seeing this scene, a thought instantly surged in Chu Feng’s mind: he could think of a way to sneak into that thatched hut, use the tree serum inside to attract the attention of the Wraith Demons, create chaos, and then help these hostages escape in all directions.
But the next second, he asked himself: was it necessary to take the risk of exposing his tracks to save these strangers?
Chu Feng discreetly observed for a long time, noting that Wraith Demons patrolled around the thatched hut in teams from time to time, and every a certain distance, a Demon Blood Substrain was planted, their positions overlapping to form an almost impermeable security circle.
Even if he managed to avoid the vision of these Demon Clan members and sneak in, the risk of exposure was very high.
