Everyone heard Master Liangqiu’s words.
Thus, all eyes turned toward the direction Master Liangqiu was looking.
If the one who broke the formation wasn’t Master Liangqiu, then it could only be one of the juniors who had entered the formation, and who exactly had broken it, the Nine Dragons Holy Robe would reveal the answer.
“There’s movement.”
Suddenly, Master Longxuan’s face lit up with joy.
In the direction they were gazing, a faint aura of a barrier began to emerge, though weak, someone of his calibre could still perceive it.
The aura grew stronger, soon transforming into barrier power, forming a barrier gate.
As the gate appeared, several figures swiftly emerged from within, and these were none other than Chu Feng and his group.
“Where are we now?”
Upon exiting, Linghu Tiemian and the others still wore expressions of bewilderment.
“What’s wrong with Linghu Tiemian and the rest?”
Seeing the odd state of Linghu Tiemian and his companions, the other juniors looked puzzled.
“Chu Feng, Linghu Hongfei, what’s happened to them?”
At the same time, Master Liangqiu and the others approached Chu Feng and his group.
Since only Chu Feng and Linghu Hongfei seemed normal among them, they could only ask the two of them.
“Master Liangqiu, you’re here too, that’s fantastic.”
“Earlier, we used the barrier sword to open a barrier gate and entered it, though we gained power inside, during the process of merging with it, everyone suffered a backlash, now they’re experiencing temporary memory loss and need some time to recover, but with you here, Master, you should be able to help them recover quickly,” Linghu Hongfei said.
Hearing this, Chu Feng felt a pang of frustration.
Those were words Chu Feng had told Linghu Hongfei, yet he’d rushed to say them himself.
Though Linghu Hongfei’s ability to disguise himself was impressive, his image in Chu Feng’s mind was steadily worsening.
This wasn’t just a despicable hypocrite, but also someone who loved the spotlight and craved fame and glory.
Who knew how many underhanded tactics he’d used in the shadows to achieve his current success and reputation?
“It’s indeed as you say, no matter, I can treat them.”
After observing, Master Liangqiu confirmed Linghu Hongfei’s account was accurate, so he began healing the group.
“Master, you…”
Seeing the barrier power Master Liangqiu unleashed, Linghu Hongfei’s eyes flickered, he glanced at Chu Feng, a bitter taste rising within him.
He knew of Master Liangqiu’s plan and understood that Master Liangqiu becoming a Dragon Pattern Holy Robe Realm Spirit Master was tied to them.
More precisely, it was tied to Chu Feng.
That role was supposed to be his, but unfortunately, Chu Feng’s arrival had snatched away everything that should’ve belonged to him.
“Ugh—”
Under Master Liangqiu’s treatment, the group soon awoke.
Upon waking, the first thing they saw was Master Liangqiu healing them and the barrier power he was releasing.
Seeing the holy-level barrier power swirling with dragon patterns, everyone was both shocked and delighted, but none were happier than the Liangqiu sisters.
“Master, we… heavens, Master, you… you’ve become a Dragon Pattern Holy Robe master?!”
“Congratulations, Master! Well done, Master!”
The Liangqiu sisters had just regained their memories and were still a bit dazed, but upon seeing the barrier power Master Liangqiu was unleashing, they were instantly overjoyed.
“You’ve all gained quite a lot this time too,” Master Liangqiu said with a smile.
Hearing this, the Liangqiu sisters paused, puzzled at first, but soon caught on and quickly released their own barrier power.
At that moment, though their barrier power remained at the Venerable level, it no longer bore insect patterns—it now carried snake patterns.
“We’ve broken through, our realm spirit techniques have advanced!” Seeing their own barrier power, the Liangqiu sisters grew even more excited.
Seeing this, the others hurriedly released their own barrier power.
Aside from the Liangqiu sisters, Wuma Shengjie and Tantai Xing’er had also advanced, both becoming Snake Pattern Venerable Robe Realm Spirit Masters.
But the others hadn’t succeeded in breaking through, even Linghu Yueyue, with her exceptional talent in realm spirit techniques, had failed to advance.
“Why is this? We didn’t break through, fair enough, but Yueyue, how come you didn’t either?” Linghu Tiemian asked, utterly perplexed.
At that moment, Linghu Yueyue didn’t speak, instead turning her gaze to Chu Feng.
To others, this glance might’ve been meaningless, but Tantai Xing’er understood it immediately.
“Young Master Chu Feng, thank you,” Tantai Xing’er said, stepping forward to bow and express her gratitude.
“Young Master Chu Feng, thanks this time,” Liangqiu Lanyue also stepped up to thank him.
At the same time, Liangqiu Hongyue bounced over to Chu Feng, playfully patting his shoulder with a grin, “Chu Feng, looks like my sister and I owe you another favour.”
Even Wuma Shengjie turned to Chu Feng, saying with a hint of pride, “Thanks.”
If people hadn’t understood before, they did now.
The breakthroughs of the Liangqiu sisters, Wuma Shengjie, and Tantai Xing’er were clearly tied to Chu Feng.
They’d succeeded with his help.
“Chu Feng, what realm are you at now?” Suddenly, Liangqiu Hongyue asked, her face full of curiosity.
At the same time, Wuma Shengjie, Tantai Xing’er, and even Linghu Yueyue turned to Chu Feng with eager eyes.
With Chu Feng’s help, their realm spirit techniques had advanced.
Logically, Chu Feng’s own realm spirit technique should’ve advanced too.
Facing the curious Liangqiu Hongyue, Chu Feng smiled and said, “Guess.”
“Tch, playing mysterious now, huh? You think I can’t figure it out if you don’t tell me?” Liangqiu Hongyue pouted, then turned to Master Liangqiu, “Master, tell me quick, what realm is Chu Feng’s realm spirit technique at now?”
Master Liangqiu stroked his beard with a smile, “You’d better ask young friend Chu Feng yourself, because even I can’t see through his realm spirit technique’s level.”
“What? Even you can’t see through it?”
“This guy… he couldn’t have broken through to Holy Robe, could he?” Liangqiu Hongyue gasped, because as far as she knew, Chu Feng would have to be a Holy Robe Realm Spirit Master—otherwise, with her master’s ability, he wouldn’t be unable to discern Chu Feng’s level.
Her words stunned everyone.
Holy Robe?
If Chu Feng had broken through to Holy Robe, wouldn’t he be the youngest Holy Robe Realm Spirit Master?
What about Linghu Hongfei, then?
“Hmph, impossible, even if someone could become a Holy Robe Realm Spirit Master, it’d surely be our clan’s Linghu Hongfei, how could it be this Chu Feng?” Linghu Tiemian declared loudly.
After he spoke, the other juniors present nodded in agreement.
If Linghu Hongfei weren’t here, Chu Feng’s performance might’ve convinced them he could be a Holy Robe Realm Spirit Master.
But with Linghu Hongfei present, it seemed impossible for Chu Feng to have such an opportunity.
Buzz—
Just then, a beam of light suddenly poured down from the void above.
Feeling the sudden burst of dazzling radiance, everyone looked up.
And what they saw sent a mix of excitement and tension through them all.
By now, the grand formation set by the Realm Spirit Immortal King had been broken, yet the Nine Dragons Holy Robe remained.
And at that moment, the lofty Nine Dragons Holy Robe—
The one even Lady Fox Immortal couldn’t touch—
Was moving.
Not only was it moving, it was drifting downward from the void.
And its direction of descent was straight toward where Linghu Hongfei stood.
