“Damn it, we’re in trouble now.”
Seeing the situation turn dire, the crowd behind the Blood Devouring Hall turned to flee.
Buzz—
But as they moved, a surge of martial power swept in from all directions, forming a cage that trapped them all.
“We’re done for, completely done for.”
Realizing their escape was cut off, they understood this Exalted Realm expert wouldn’t let them off easily. Panic set in, some even trembling uncontrollably.
“Exalted Realm, is it really the Exalted Realm?”
While those attacking the Chu Heavenly Clan were gripped by fear, the onlookers from the Great Thousand Upper Realm were more curious.
For many, the Exalted Realm was a legend; they’d never seen such a being in their lifetime.
Could it be that today, an Exalted Realm expert had appeared to stand up for the Great Thousand Upper Realm?
Back when Chu Xuanyuan committed his grave error, was stripped of his clan status, and imprisoned in the Ancestral Martial Lower Realm, no such figure had intervened.
Did the Chu Heavenly Clan now command such influence?
“If you’re here, why not show yourself?” the leader of the Blood Devouring Hall spoke, his voice calm, devoid of fear.
“You Blood Devouring Hall have committed countless evils, and I’ve tolerated it. But to try to crush a genius of the Ancestral Martial Starfield? That I cannot abide,” a powerful, aged voice rang out.
Two figures appeared beside Chu Feng.
Chu Feng’s face lit up with joy.
One was Liangqiu Chengfeng, and the other, even more formidable, was Master Liangqiu, the strongest spiritist in the Ancestral Martial Starfield.
More crucially, Master Liangqiu wasn’t just a Dragon Mark Saint-cloak Spiritist—he was an Exalted Realm expert.
The overwhelming pressure dominating the heavens came from him.
“Master Liangqiu, it’s really Master Liangqiu?”
“Such a figure is standing up for our Chu Heavenly Clan?”
Not only were the people of the Great Thousand Upper Realm shocked, but even the Chu Heavenly Clan members felt their scalps tingle with disbelief.
To them, Master Liangqiu was a legendary figure in the Ancestral Martial Starfield.
Their clan had no connection to someone of his stature.
Moreover, Master Liangqiu was famously neutral, rarely involving himself in the disputes of other forces.
Yet today, he’d made an exception? And against the Ancestral Martial Starfield’s most dangerous force, the Blood Devouring Hall?
What could prompt Master Liangqiu to take such a risk?
Chu Feng?
Soon, people realized it could only be him.
No one else could compel a figure like Master Liangqiu to stand up for the Chu Heavenly Clan.
“Young friend Chu Feng, are you alright?” Master Liangqiu looked at Chu Feng, his eyes full of concern.
“Senior, I’m fine,” Chu Feng replied.
“You’ve worked hard, letting those despicable scoundrels injure you to buy time,” Master Liangqiu said.
“What? Deliberately injured?”
The crowd stirred at his words.
“Junior was cornered with no other choice but to do my best to delay, hoping the heavens would open their eyes and let my Chu Heavenly Clan survive this calamity.”
“I didn’t expect the heavens, but you, Senior.”
“Senior, you’ve saved my Chu Heavenly Clan today. This great kindness, I’ll never forget.”
Chu Feng bowed deeply to Master Liangqiu.
His words confirmed Master Liangqiu’s statement, making it clear to all that Chu Feng had been stalling for rescue.
Though it relied on luck, people were impressed.
Of course, only the Chu Heavenly Clan and Great Thousand Upper Realm admired him. Those attacking the clan were furious, realizing they’d fallen for Chu Feng’s ploy.
“I happened to be near the Great Thousand Upper Realm. After hearing about your father, I worried trouble would come. And indeed, it did.”
“Fortunately, young friend Chu Feng was clever, buying time, or the consequences would’ve been unthinkable,” Master Liangqiu said.
Clap, clap, clap—
Suddenly, applause rang out. It was the eight Blood Devouring Hall experts.
Not only were they fearless, but they clapped as if taunting Master Liangqiu.
“Master Liangqiu, you talk big, as if your arrival could save the Chu Heavenly Clan.”
“I advise you to leave quickly. This doesn’t concern you. Don’t throw away your life and your disciple’s over this,” a Blood Devouring Hall expert said.
“Evildoers, today I’ll teach you a lesson.”
As Master Liangqiu spoke, his overwhelming pressure shifted, pressing toward the eight Blood Devouring Hall experts.
“This!!!”
But the next moment, his face darkened.
He was shocked to find his pressure couldn’t harm them.
Someone had blocked it.
“Jie jie jie.”
A chilling laugh echoed.
A figure appeared before the eight Blood Devouring Hall experts.
He wore the same red robe, but his face was covered by a red, ghostly helmet, terrifying in appearance.
Seeing him, not just the others, but even Master Liangqiu and Liangqiu Chengfeng’s expressions changed, unease creeping in.
It was the Blood Devouring Hall Master.
“It’s over now. No wonder they were so fearless—their master is here,” the Chu Heavenly Clan, who had just thought they were saved, fell into despair.
The Blood Devouring Hall Master wasn’t just an Exalted Realm expert; his combat power was immense, with an almost undefeated record.
In the Ancestral Martial Starfield, it was known that the Blood Devouring Hall might fail, but when their master acted, he never did.
His infamy was so great that even though both were First Rank Exalted, Master Liangqiu grew uneasy seeing him.
Boom—
Suddenly, the Blood Devouring Hall Master’s robe fluttered, and his pressure surged like a flood, sweeping the heavens.
Its strength suppressed Master Liangqiu’s pressure entirely.
“Too terrifying. We’re doomed, absolutely doomed. With such a being here, who can save the Chu Heavenly Clan?”
“The heavens want the Chu Heavenly Clan gone.”
Feeling the Hall Master’s pressure, the onlookers trembled, barely able to speak.
They’d never felt such a terrifying aura—not just its strength, but its killing intent.
“Master Liangqiu, I held back to give you a chance.”
“But now, you’ve lost it,” the Hall Master said coldly.
But then, another voice thundered through the heavens.
“Not necessarily.”
