At this moment, the members of the Linghu Heavenly Clan, the rulers of the Ancestral Martial Cultivation World, hung their heads in silence under Chu Feng’s questioning.
They dared not respond, nor even meet Chu Feng’s gaze.
Naturally, they didn’t want to leave the main territory and give up their dominant position in the Ancestral Martial Cultivation World.
But they were powerless against Chu Feng and didn’t dare to oppose him.
Caught in this dilemma, they were utterly embarrassed.
“Chu Feng, relying on the power of a formation is no real skill. If you have the guts, use your own strength to defeat me.”
A roar filled with resentment erupted from the ground. It was Linghu Tiemian.
Though he lay on the ground, unable to move, he let out this furious cry.
However, after his roar, everyone felt a sense of helplessness.
Chu Feng had already obtained such immense power, akin to a god. How could he possibly compete with Linghu Tiemian using only his own strength?
Only a fool would agree to such an unreasonable demand, and clearly, Chu Feng was no fool.
“Very well. If you want to compete using our own strength, then I’ll fight you with my own power.”
Yet, just as Linghu Tiemian finished speaking, Chu Feng actually nodded.
He agreed. He actually agreed to Linghu Tiemian’s seemingly absurd request.
At this moment, not only were others stunned, but even Linghu Tiemian himself was taken aback, as if he couldn’t believe what he had just heard.
But in the next moment, Linghu Tiemian and the clansmen around him felt their bodies, which had been out of their control, return to their command.
Linghu Tiemian and those who had been lying on the ground all stood up.
They were almost certain that Chu Feng had withdrawn the powerful formation’s influence over them.
Was Chu Feng truly planning to fight Linghu Tiemian using only his own strength, without relying on the formation’s power?
Seeing this, everyone was even more confused. The members of the Dongguo Heavenly Clan, in particular, turned their gazes to Dongguo Bingyu.
Their looks seemed to ask, *Why is Chu Feng being so foolish? He could easily drive the Linghu Heavenly Clan out using the formation’s power. Why is he inviting trouble?*
“Everyone, stay calm. Chu Feng is not reckless. He must have a plan. Let’s wait and see,” Dongguo Bingyu communicated to her clansmen through a secret transmission.
Although she reassured her clan this way, and she knew Chu Feng likely had a strategy, it was all speculation. She couldn’t be certain.
Until the truth was revealed, her heart was filled with unease.
After all, Chu Feng had already secured victory, but now his decision had reintroduced an element of uncertainty to the outcome.
Everyone was wondering what was going on with Chu Feng. Did he truly possess the strength to rival Linghu Tiemian, or was he simply overconfident?
“Chu Feng, are you truly willing to set aside the formation’s power and fight me using only your own strength?”
“If you are, and if I lose, I will acknowledge you, Chu Feng, as a true man,” Linghu Tiemian said after standing up.
He said this because he was afraid Chu Feng might change his mind.
After all, Chu Feng held absolute power. Even if he went back on his word, there was nothing Linghu Tiemian could do.
“I don’t need your acknowledgment, Linghu Tiemian, but I have one condition,” Chu Feng said.
“What condition? Speak,” Linghu Tiemian asked.
“If I win, you and all the members of the Linghu Heavenly Clan must leave the Ancestral Martial Cultivation World. Remember, I mean *leave*,” Chu Feng said in a calm tone, though his eyes were filled with confidence.
It was as if he had already secured victory.
“And if you lose?” Linghu Tiemian asked.
“If I lose, then it will be the Chu Heavenly Clan that leaves the Ancestral Martial Cultivation World.”
As Chu Feng spoke, he turned to his clansmen behind him and asked, “If I lose, are you willing to leave with me?”
“We are willing.”
“Brother Chu Feng, the decision is yours.”
Chu Feng’s words received the full support of the Chu Heavenly Clan.
Although they didn’t understand why Chu Feng didn’t simply drive the Linghu Heavenly Clan away and instead took such a risk, they still unconditionally supported him.
They knew all too well how weak and insignificant they had been in the Ancestral Martial Cultivation World before Chu Feng’s arrival.
The fact that they now had the right to stand in the main territory’s plaza, facing the Linghu Heavenly Clan in front of all the major powers of the Ancestral Martial Cultivation World, was entirely due to Chu Feng.
Seeing the Chu Heavenly Clan’s unwavering support for Chu Feng, others were also surprised.
After all, rumors had it that the Chu Heavenly Clan was fragmented, selfish, and cowardly.
But now, it seemed the Chu Heavenly Clan had changed dramatically.
And they believed that this transformation was undoubtedly Chu Feng’s doing.
Thus, their gazes toward Chu Feng carried a hint of reverence.
Regardless of his strength, just this level of influence and charisma made it clear that Chu Feng was extraordinary.
“Fine, I accept.”
Linghu Tiemian agreed readily, but then he added, “But I have one condition: you cannot use the formation’s power. You must rely solely on your own strength and abilities to defeat me.”
“Of course.”
“If I, Chu Feng, use the formation’s power to defeat you, then may I die a wretched death and bring shame to my father, Chu Xuanyuan,” Chu Feng swore.
“Good. Then let me witness the true strength of Chu Xuanyuan’s son.”
Linghu Tiemian shouted.
Immediately, everyone in the plaza retreated from the center, moving to the VIP seats.
At the same time, the banquet tables on the plaza were quickly cleared away.
Now, the vast plaza had only two people standing opposite each other.
They were…
Linghu Tiemian of the Linghu Heavenly Clan.
Chu Feng of the Chu Heavenly Clan.
A battle that would determine the ruler of the Ancestral Martial Cultivation World.
The clash was about to begin!!!
