This young man looked unusually mature for his age.
Though still under a hundred years old, his face resembled that of a middle-aged man.
If not for martial cultivators’ keen ability to sense age, no one would believe he was a junior.
True, he was technically a junior under a hundred, but he was already in his nineties.
And from his appearance, not only was he plain-looking, but somewhat ugly. His clothes, though lavish, were oddly paired, giving him the air of a tasteless nouveau riche. As for charisma or refinement, he had none whatsoever.
Yet, this very junior stood before the gates of the Chu Heavenly Clan, speaking insolently in front of everyone. Even the elders of the Tantai Heavenly Clan dared not retort.
His confidence stemmed from the token at his waist.
Divine Body Royal City!!!
In the Ancestral Martial Starfield, if every faction’s token was a protective talisman, then the token of Divine Body Royal City was akin to a death-exemption medallion.
The Ancestral Martial Starfield’s Starfield Main Realm was the undisputed hegemon.
The reputation of the Ten Heavenly Clans resounded throughout the starfield.
But Divine Body Royal City, Demon Clan Holy City, and Ancestral Martial Dragon City—these three forces were taken seriously by all.
Not only did all three cities boast Supreme Realm experts, but their foundations were profound, their strength unfathomable. Even the Starfield Main Realm wouldn’t lightly provoke them, let alone other forces…
“So it’s the young master from Divine Body Royal City, Kong Tianhui,” the Chu Heavenly Clan’s clan chief said.
“Kong Tianhui… could he be the son of Divine Body Royal City’s lord, the Peacock Divine King?”
The crowd showed expressions of astonishment.
The three cities, though reclusive and mysterious, with their experts—especially juniors—rarely seen, were still legendary in the Ancestral Martial Starfield.
Everyone knew the current lord of Divine Body Royal City was the Peacock Divine King, a Supreme Realm expert.
The Peacock Divine King, in robust health and with a penchant for romance, had over three thousand children from his legitimate wives and concubines, not counting illegitimate offspring.
Among those under a hundred years old, he had dozens of children.
But only nine had truly distinguished themselves, with two being the most famous.
The daughter was Kong Ci, and the son was Kong Tianhui.
Rumors claimed that Kong Ci and Kong Tianhui possessed extraordinary talent, rare prodigy-level genius, with strength comparable to the Ancestral Martial Starfield’s top genius, Linghu Hongfei.
Because the three cities never participated in the Ancestral Martial Ten Stars selection, their true power remained unseen.
In fact, people had only heard of their existence, never witnessing their true appearance.
Thus, when the Chu Heavenly Clan’s chief uttered the name “Kong Tianhui,” the crowd was so shocked.
Even the junior from Divine Body Royal City showed a flicker of surprise.
“You actually know me?” He looked at the Chu Heavenly Clan’s chief with unexpected curiosity.
His words indirectly confirmed his identity.
He was indeed the Peacock Divine King’s son, Kong Tianhui.
“I had the fortune of meeting Young Master Kong once, though you may not remember me,” the Chu Heavenly Clan’s chief said.
“Was it at Mo Liang Mountain?” Kong Tianhui asked.
“Indeed,” the chief replied.
“That year… I was only nine. Now I’m ninety-nine, ninety years since then. I can’t believe you still remember me,” Kong Tianhui said.
“Back then, Young Master Kong was still a child. You’ve changed greatly since, but there’s still some resemblance,” the chief said.
“Enough with the flattery. I’m here today to challenge Chu Feng. Call him out.”
Kong Tianhui sneered with mocking arrogance, his haughty demeanor showing he didn’t just disregard the Chu Heavenly Clan’s chief—he looked down on everyone present.
Such a Kong Tianhui sparked resentment among the crowd.
The Chu Heavenly Clan’s members were especially furious.
But due to Divine Body Royal City’s reputation, they dared not speak out.
The onlookers, too, were displeased with Kong Tianhui’s attitude, but since he was targeting the Chu Heavenly Clan, they wouldn’t invite trouble for themselves.
“Divine Body Royal City may have a grand reputation, but it seems lacking in manners.”
At that moment, a voice dripping with sarcasm suddenly rang out.
Who was bold enough to provoke Kong Tianhui, knowing his identity, and even mock the entire Divine Body Royal City?
When the voice sounded, many were curious.
But when they saw who it was, they understood why he was so daring.
It was Chu Feng.
Chu Feng’s audacity was well-known—there was nothing he wouldn’t dare do.
Still, facing someone from Divine Body Royal City and speaking so boldly, the crowd couldn’t help but worry for him.
“Who are you to speak to me like that?” As expected, Kong Tianhui turned his angry gaze toward Chu Feng.
“Who am I? I’m the one you came to challenge.”
“Next time you challenge someone, do your homework first, alright?” Chu Feng sneered.
“So you’re Chu Feng. I thought you wouldn’t have the guts to show. Since you know I’m here to challenge you, do you dare accept?” Kong Tianhui asked.
Even without his emphasis, everyone knew he was here to challenge Chu Feng.
But they were puzzled. The three cities’ geniuses rarely left their domains, restricted by their cities’ rules.
Why had Kong Tianhui suddenly come to challenge Chu Feng?
Was Divine Body Royal City planning to end its seclusion?
Why would they emerge so abruptly?
Could it be related to the conflict between the Linghu Heavenly Clan and the Starfield Main Realm?
Kong Tianhui’s challenge alone sparked endless speculation.
But what the crowd cared about most was who was stronger—Chu Feng or Kong Tianhui.
Under everyone’s gaze, Chu Feng gave a faint smile and said:
“I’m afraid you can’t afford to lose.”
