“I never would’ve thought Nangong Yifan would suddenly become so powerful.”
“I heard that in a backwater place like Ancestral Martial Starfield, there was a junior who could fight Nangong Yifan to a draw.”
“But now, he’s actually defeating Shentu Haoli. His growth rate is just too fast.”
“It wasn’t a draw, was it? I heard that junior actually defeated Nangong Yifan.”
“You’re saying there’s a junior from Ancestral Martial Starfield who beat Nangong Yifan?”
“No way. How could a trash place like Ancestral Martial Starfield produce a junior capable of defeating Nangong Yifan?”
“It’s true. Someone saw it with their own eyes. It’s not just hearsay.”
“It’s absolutely true. I heard it too, and I even know that junior from Ancestral Martial Starfield is Linghu Hongfei from the Linghu Heavenly Clan.”
“You’re talking about Linghu Hongfei? I heard he’s already dead.”
“What? Dead?”
“Yeah, killed by another junior from Ancestral Martial Starfield, from a very weak clan, something called the Chu Heavenly Clan.”
“I heard that because of that junior’s potential, that weak clan has now become the new overlord of Ancestral Martial Starfield.”
“Seriously? A junior leading a clan to become the overlord of a starfield? What kind of existence is that?”
“It’s true. It happened recently, and the news will definitely spread soon. Then you’ll believe me.”
“So, you’re saying an incredible figure has emerged from Ancestral Martial Starfield?”
At this moment, the disciples of Nine Star Heavenly Mountain were buzzing with discussion.
Their information network was impressive, as some had even heard about events in Ancestral Martial Starfield, including details about Chu Feng.
Undoubtedly, when that disciple mentioned Chu Feng, the others found it hard to believe.
“What’s that junior’s name? To be that powerful?”
“Yeah, tell us!”
Many disciples from Nine Star Heavenly Mountain were filled with curiosity, eager to know the name of this genius from Ancestral Martial Starfield.
“I think his name is Chu Feng,” the disciple said.
“Chu Feng?”
“According to you, Linghu Hongfei was stronger than Nangong Yifan.”
“And this Chu Feng was even stronger than Linghu Hongfei.”
“But Nangong Yifan is now the strongest disciple among our six major factions.”
“Doesn’t that mean this Chu Feng from Ancestral Martial Starfield is far above us?”
“Nonsense. That’s definitely just hearsay.”
“I don’t believe a junior could have such ability to lead a weak clan to dominate an entire starfield.”
Soon, many disciples dismissed the claim.
Their denial stemmed from their pride.
To them, Ancestral Martial Starfield was a garbage starfield.
It was impossible for someone from there to surpass them.
Not to mention, according to those disciples, a junior from Ancestral Martial Starfield was far stronger than them—an idea they refused to accept.
“Alright, alright, stop discussing these irrelevant things.”
“We didn’t come here to chat.”
“Let’s break this formation first and get the treasure inside.”
“Otherwise, when Senior Brother Song deals with Ouyang Pingzhi and finds out we haven’t secured the treasure yet, he’ll be displeased.”
Suddenly, a handsome disciple spoke up.
This person, not only striking in appearance but also powerful, was a Second-Rank Venerable.
His name was Zhao Zicheng, second only to Song Jinglun among Nine Star Heavenly Mountain’s disciples, so his words carried weight.
Thus, the disciples of Nine Star Heavenly Mountain approached the formation at the base of the purple light pillar, eager to break it and claim the treasure.
“…”
But suddenly, they froze.
Because when all the Wind Thunder Sword Sect disciples had surrendered, one female disciple stood up and blocked the formation.
Her resolute gaze suggested she wouldn’t let them take the treasure easily.
This person was Bai Lulu.
“What’s this girl trying to do?”
The Nine Star Heavenly Mountain disciples asked.
Bai Lulu didn’t respond, but she pointed her Wind Thunder Sword at them.
“Well, well, looks like you’re not convinced.”
“Get out of the way, or don’t think we’ll go easy on you just because you’re a girl.”
Faced with Bai Lulu’s defiance, the Nine Star Heavenly Mountain disciples were not only scornful but also visibly angry.
Yet, no matter how they threatened her, Bai Lulu’s expression remained unchanged, showing no sign of backing down.
“Junior Sister Bai, don’t be reckless.”
Even many Wind Thunder Sword Sect disciples tried to dissuade her.
No one wanted her to make a pointless sacrifice.
But Bai Lulu seemed deaf to their words.
There wasn’t a trace of retreat in her eyes.
This made it clear she had made up her mind.
“Talk about shameless. Get lost!”
At that moment, a female disciple from Nine Star Heavenly Mountain made her move.
With a wave of her sleeve, a powerful pressure surged toward Bai Lulu.
This woman’s cultivation was on par with Zhao Zicheng’s—a Second-Rank Venerable.
With Bai Lulu’s strength, she couldn’t possibly withstand a Second-Rank Venerable’s pressure.
Boom—
But just when everyone thought Bai Lulu was doomed, a loud explosion rang out, and everyone froze.
Bai Lulu stood there, completely unharmed, and a figure had appeared in front of her.
At the same time, a voice rang out.
“A big group bullying a girl? That’s a bit too much, isn’t it?”
The words came from the person standing in front of Bai Lulu.
Seeing this figure, everyone’s expressions changed.
Even Bai Lulu herself was stunned.
Because the person now standing before her was someone they all recognised.
It was Wang Chen, who had previously defied Ouyang Pingzhi and Song Jinglun, then fled after entering the barrier world.
Of course, this wasn’t actually Wang Chen—it was Chu Feng.
“It’s you?”
“You’ve got some skill, blocking my pressure?”
The female disciple from Nine Star Heavenly Mountain said.
Indeed, how could Wang Chen block her pressure?
Her cultivation was that of a Second-Rank Venerable.
At this moment, not only were the Nine Star Heavenly Mountain disciples shocked, but the Wind Thunder Sword Sect disciples were even more stunned.
After all, in their minds, Wang Chen was only at the Martial Immortal realm.
Among their hundred disciples, he was considered one of the weaker ones.
Facing everyone’s shocked gazes, Chu Feng remained unfazed and said to the female disciple:
“Blocking your pressure is surprising?”
“To be honest, in my eyes, you’re nothing but trash.”
