After Chu Hongyi and his two companions were expelled, news of Chu Feng’s return to the Chu Celestial Clan spread quickly.
Not only did the younger generation rush to hear the news, but even the elders of the Chu Celestial Clan gathered outside the grand hall.
Originally, this palace was not a place that just anyone could enter.
But today was different. After all, Chu Feng’s return was a joyous occasion.
After discussing with Chu Hanpeng, Chu Xuan Zhengfa decided to allow anyone to enter the hall for the day.
Thus, the once solemn and empty grand hall quickly became crowded and lively.
Although everyone knew Chu Feng, not many were truly close to him.
After all, the current Chu Feng was no longer the same as before.
While many wanted to get closer to him, they also held a sense of awe and fear toward him.
After all, in the past, they had all given Chu Feng a hard time and spoken ill of him.
Aside from the elders, among the younger generation, only Chu Qing and a few others dared to approach Chu Feng.
Coincidentally, Chu Qing, Chu Haoyan, Chu Huanyu, and Chu Shuangshuang seemed to have arranged it beforehand, as they all arrived in the hall at the same time.
These four had been forced to leave the Ancestral Martial Cultivation Realm by Linghu Mingye’s cruel methods.
When they left, they were severely injured, but now they looked to be in excellent health, their wounds fully healed.
However, despite their good physical condition, their expressions were troubled, filled with worry.
When they saw Chu Feng, they immediately rushed to him, surrounding him.
“Chu Feng, how did you return? Was it the Linghu Celestial Clan’s doing?”
“Brother Chu Feng, are you alright?”
When Chu Qing, Chu Shuangshuang, and the others saw Chu Feng, their first reactions were concern and worry.
After all, they had all been forced out by Linghu Mingye.
They could guess that Chu Feng’s situation in the Ancestral Martial Cultivation Realm must have been dire.
So when they saw Chu Feng, their first thought was that he must have been driven out by the Linghu Celestial Clan.
“I left on my own,” Chu Feng said.
“Huh?” Chu Qing and the others were puzzled.
Seeing their confusion, Chu Feng quickly added, “I wasn’t driven out by the Linghu Celestial Clan.”
“If it wasn’t the Linghu Celestial Clan, then why did you leave?” Chu Haoyan and the others asked in unison, even more confused by Chu Feng’s answer.
“Right now, the Ancestral Martial Cultivation Realm is no longer under the control of the Linghu Celestial Clan. It’s now ruled by our Chu Celestial Clan,” Chu Feng said.
“The Ancestral Martial Cultivation Realm is ruled by our Chu Celestial Clan? What about the Linghu Celestial Clan?” Chu Haoyan asked.
“All members of the Linghu Celestial Clan have left the Ancestral Martial Cultivation Realm,” Chu Feng replied.
“Left? Why?” Chu Shuangshuang blinked her big eyes, curious.
“Brother Chu Feng, what exactly happened?” Chu Qing asked.
Not only were they curious, but even Chu Xuan Zhengfa, Chu Hanpeng, and other high-ranking figures of the Chu Celestial Clan were eagerly staring at Chu Feng, waiting for an explanation.
After all, Chu Haoyan and the others had returned to the Chu Celestial Clan some time ago.
While they hadn’t mentioned Chu Hongyi and the others’ betrayal, they had informed the clan about the major events that had taken place in the Ancestral Martial Cultivation Realm.
Thus, Chu Hanpeng, Chu Xuan Zhengfa, and the others knew that the current ruler of the Ancestral Martial Cultivation Realm was the Linghu Celestial Clan.
And in the face of the Linghu Celestial Clan’s tyrannical rule, Chu Feng had led a rebellion.
This was why Chu Qing and the others had been forced out of the Ancestral Martial Cultivation Realm by Linghu Mingye.
After leaving, Chu Qing and the others had been deeply worried about Chu Feng.
But now, after such a long time, Chu Feng had returned unharmed and in excellent spirits.
His earlier words had also made it clear that major events had taken place in the Ancestral Martial Cultivation Realm.
Now, everyone wanted to know what had happened.
Facing the curious gazes of the crowd, Chu Feng didn’t keep them in suspense and recounted the events.
As Chu Feng spoke, the expressions of everyone present, whether elders or juniors, began to change.
First, they were shocked, then delighted, then astonished, and finally overjoyed.
When they learned that Chu Feng had not only driven the Linghu Celestial Clan out of the Ancestral Martial Cultivation Realm but had also used the power of the grand formation to allow Chu Ping and the others to rule it, and that future generations of the Chu Celestial Clan could continue to dominate the Ancestral Martial Cultivation Realm, the younger generation erupted in cheers and excitement.
Even the elders couldn’t help but smile broadly.
This was simply too incredible.
“Chu Feng, you’re truly remarkable. Your grandfather and father once ruled the Ancestral Martial Cultivation Realm, but only during their time.”
“But you, even after leaving, have ensured that our clan continues to rule the Ancestral Martial Cultivation Realm. In this regard, you’ve surpassed even your grandfather and father,” Chu Xuan Zhengfa praised enthusiastically.
“The grand formation was discovered by my grandfather, and its incubation was aided by my father.”
“I merely reaped the benefits. I can’t take any credit for it. How can I compare to my grandfather and father?” Chu Feng shook his head with a bitter smile.
This wasn’t modesty; he truly believed it.
“Don’t be so humble. It’s easy to say, but hard to do. Even if the grand formation was already incubated, it’s not something just anyone could control,” Chu Xuan Zhengfa said.
“That’s right. In the world of martial cultivation, nothing comes easily. Stop being so modest, kid.”
After that, the other elders also chimed in, smiling as they spoke to Chu Feng.
“Chu Feng, you’ve been hiding your cultivation level all this time. What level have you reached now? It’s time to let us know,” Chu Haoyan suddenly said.
“That’s right, Chu Feng. You’ve even kept it from us elders. That’s not right. Come on, stop hiding it. Let us see just how far you’ve come, this prodigy who has returned in glory from the Ancestral Martial Cultivation Realm,” Chu Xuan Zhengfa added in a joking tone.
Today, he was truly overjoyed.
Although he hadn’t witnessed it himself, hearing about Chu Feng’s exploits in the Ancestral Martial Cultivation Realm reminded him of Chu Xuanyuan’s past achievements.
He knew that another genius, destined to shake the Ancestral Martial Star Domain, had emerged. And this person would once again carry the name of the Chu Celestial Clan, dominating the Ancestral Martial Star Domain.
That person was Chu Feng.
