“Chu Feng, stop!!!”
At that moment, someone called out Chu Feng’s name.
And it was a cry filled with tears.
It was Wuming Yuanzhi and Wuming Xiongmou.
While most people stepped aside in fear of Chu Feng, Wuming Yuanzhi and Wuming Xiongmou threw themselves in front of Wuming Doutian, shielding him.
“Chu Feng, please, don’t kill my father.”
“Chu Feng, I beg you. He’s taken three forbidden pills in a row. Even if he survives, he’ll never be a threat to you again. Please spare him.”
“Chu Feng, please, I know we have no right, but for the sake of the battles we fought side by side, spare my father.”
Wuming Yuanzhi and Wuming Xiongmou pleaded through their tears.
Seeing this, Chu Feng hesitated.
After all, he considered Wuming Yuanzhi and Wuming Xiongmou friends.
If he killed Wuming Doutian today, wouldn’t that mean killing his friends’ father?
“Young friend Chu Feng, please spare Lord Domain Master.”
“Even if our Wuming Clan did wrong back then, we didn’t exterminate your Chu Heavenly Clan.”
Suddenly, another voice spoke up—it was Wuming Fenghuo.
Wuming Fenghuo had helped Chu Feng before, even saving his life, one could say.
His words made Chu Feng’s decision even harder.
“Chu Feng, Wuming Fenghuo is right. Though the Wuming Clan drove out your grandfather, oppressed your father, and suppressed our Chu Heavenly Clan, they didn’t kill us.”
“Otherwise, our Chu Heavenly Clan wouldn’t exist today.”
“Besides, not everyone in the Wuming Clan is tyrannical.”
“It’s better to resolve grudges than deepen them. Why not let them go?”
Suddenly, a secret transmission reached Chu Feng’s ears—it was the voice of the Chu Heavenly Clan’s Clan Chief.
After all these pleas, it would be a lie to say Chu Feng wasn’t moved.
Suddenly, Chu Feng closed his eyes and took a deep breath.
When he opened them again, the hesitation in his eyes was gone.
“Wuming Doutian, I actually understand you now,” Chu Feng said.
“What do you mean?” Wuming Doutian looked puzzled.
“You’re such a despicable person.”
“No wonder you were so wary of my grandfather and father back then. I get it.”
“With your talent and narrow-mindedness, you’d never allow anyone to threaten your position.”
Chu Feng continued.
This was an insult to Wuming Doutian.
“Heh…”
Hearing this, Wuming Doutian gave a faint smile.
“At this point, I won’t argue. I, Wuming Doutian, am indeed not an honorable man.”
“To achieve my goals, I’ve resorted to unscrupulous means. But that’s the way of the martial world.”
“The victor is king, the loser a bandit. I’ve lost today, and I won’t make excuses.”
“If you want to kill me, go ahead. I know you won’t spare me.”
“Back then, if I could have killed your father and grandfather, I wouldn’t have spared them either.”
“Come on, kill me. Settle old scores and new grudges.”
After speaking, Wuming Doutian closed his eyes.
He was ready to die.
*Ugh!*
But suddenly, he let out a scream.
Then he began to struggle violently.
His body was changing.
His flesh began to rot, corroded by three types of flames.
It was backlash—the backlash from the three forbidden pills.
*Argh!*
His screams were agonizing, heart-wrenching.
No one could imagine the pain he was enduring.
Even thinking about it sent shivers down their spines.
“Father, Father!!!”
Wuming Yuanzhi and Wuming Xiongmou clung to Wuming Doutian, tears streaming down their faces.
At that moment, Wuming Doutian’s other children gathered around.
Their tears weren’t fake—they were genuine concern and heartache.
This was family, bound by blood.
“Fine, you can go.”
Chu Feng waved his hand.
He decided to spare Wuming Doutian.
“Chu Feng, thank you, thank you for your mercy today.”
“We brothers will remember this kindness forever.”
Wuming Yuanzhi and Wuming Xiongmou began kowtowing to Chu Feng.
*Swish!*
But Chu Feng waved his sleeve, lifting them to their feet.
“No matter what your elders did, our relationship won’t change.”
“Go.”
Chu Feng said.
The Wuming Clan didn’t hesitate. As soon as Chu Feng spoke, they hurriedly took Wuming Doutian and left.
*Roar!*
As the Wuming Clan disappeared, the area erupted in cheers.
Chu Feng’s name echoed, louder than thunder.
Those who had previously scorned and despised Chu Feng now sang his praises.
Their flattery was boundless, indirectly acknowledging Chu Feng as the king of the Ancestral Martial Starfield.
But Chu Feng’s expression remained cold. He didn’t respond to the crowd, instead walking toward the Chu Heavenly Clan.
Only when he reached the Clan Chief’s side did he show a faint smile.
The Chu Heavenly Clan Chief’s aged face was streaked with tears.
If the Wuming Clan had been a mountain pressing down on the Chu Heavenly Clan, the Clan Chief had borne the most weight.
The feeling of watching his clan’s geniuses be oppressed, powerless to help, must have been unbearable.
But now, it was over.
Three generations of grudges ended with Chu Feng.
Today, this once-abandoned son achieved what no other clansman had.
Single-handedly, he shattered the mountain looming over the Chu Heavenly Clan.
He defeated Wuming Doutian, hailed as the strongest in the Ancestral Martial Starfield.
And he won decisively.
“Clan Chief, let’s go home.”
Chu Feng said.
“Home, home.”
The Chu Heavenly Clan Chief nodded repeatedly.
Under countless gazes, they walked back into the Chu Heavenly Clan.
…
The Wuming Clan retreated from the Chu Heavenly Clan’s territory.
But they didn’t leave the Great Thousand Upper Realm immediately.
Their Domain Master was suffering from the backlash, his life hanging by a thread.
Inside a palatial war chariot, a grand formation was set up.
Outside the formation, countless glowing objects floated.
They were rare heavenly treasures, being refined by the formation in an orderly manner.
The formation’s energy flowed toward its center.
At the center, in the formation’s core, lay a person—Wuming Doutian.
He no longer screamed, but he was far weaker than before.
He was emaciated, unrecognizable, like a withered corpse.
His aura was faint, barely there.
He was on the verge of death.
No amount of treasures could save him.
“Father!!!”
“Lord Domain Master!!!”
Cries echoed endlessly in the hall.
No matter how heinous Wuming Doutian seemed to outsiders, to them, he was a worthy clan leader and father.
They didn’t want him to die like this.
*Boom!*
Suddenly, the sealed hall doors shattered.
The scene startled everyone.
They thought Chu Feng had regretted sparing them and come after them.
But looking closely, it wasn’t Chu Feng.
It was a man in a blue robe, with long blue hair.
A stranger.
“Who dares trespass here?”
“Courting death!”
The Wuming Clan was already on edge, and with someone breaking in, they wouldn’t let it slide.
Several experts rose and attacked the man.
“Get lost.”
The man waved his sleeve.
*Crash!*
The attacking figures were instantly repelled.
They all crashed to the ground, bleeding from their orifices, heavily injured, unable to move.
This scene terrified the Wuming Clan.
Among those who attacked was a Supreme Realm expert!!!
