Amidst the heartache, a surge of overwhelming killing intent welled up within Chu Feng.
But he didn’t ask further questions. Instead, he hurriedly released his spirit power, enveloping Chu Lingxi.
Chu Feng had no mind for anything else, only wanting to heal Chu Lingxi as quickly as possible.
But as he began the treatment, his heart tightened.
With his strength, he should have been able to easily restore Chu Lingxi’s eyes.
Yet, to his shock, he found her eyes couldn’t be healed.
Chu Lingxi’s injury wasn’t merely physical—it was to her soul.
Her wounds were severe!
Chu Feng could stabilize her condition and save her life.
But her eyes—he was powerless to restore them.
Worse, he realized that if she wasn’t treated quickly, her eyes might never recover.
“Master, please help her.”
Seeing he couldn’t heal her, Chu Feng had no choice but to plead with Master Liangqiu.
Even before Chu Feng spoke, Master Liangqiu had been observing Chu Lingxi’s injuries from behind.
At Chu Feng’s plea, Master Liangqiu immediately took over.
But upon examining her, even a figure like Master Liangqiu frowned deeply.
“Chu Feng, you all step outside.”
“I need to focus.”
As he spoke, Master Liangqiu carried Chu Lingxi into the hall.
Chu Feng and the others didn’t dare disturb him and could only wait outside.
“Senior, who caused Lingxi’s injuries?” Chu Feng finally asked. He could tell at a glance that her eyes had been forcibly gouged out.
Now, he needed to know who had done something so unforgivable.
“It was Linghu Hongfei,” Chu Xuanzhengfa said.
“Linghu Hongfei?” The name caught Chu Feng off guard.
He hadn’t expected Linghu Hongfei to show up at this time.
After all, the Linghu Heavenly Clan was at war with the Starfield Master Realm. A genius like Linghu Hongfei shouldn’t be wandering around at such a time.
Chu Xuanzhengfa then recounted the full story.
Right after Chu Feng was called away by Master Liangqiu to help treat the Clan Leader’s injuries, Linghu Hongfei arrived to challenge Chu Feng specifically.
Knowing Chu Feng was occupied with healing the Clan Leader and couldn’t fight, Chu Lingxi stepped in to face the challenge.
During their fight, Linghu Hongfei showed blatant contempt for Chu Lingxi.
Despite her being a Third Rank Venerable, he didn’t take her seriously at all.
Chu Lingxi, refusing to back down, repeatedly humiliated him with her words, which enraged him.
In a duel, verbal taunts were a common psychological tactic, nothing improper.
But the outcome was Chu Lingxi’s defeat.
Worse, Linghu Hongfei, harboring a grudge, not only defeated her but deliberately gouged out her eyes.
Since he was accompanied by Supreme-level experts from the Linghu Heavenly Clan, Chu Xuanzhengfa and the others could only watch helplessly as Chu Lingxi’s eyes were taken. Their cultivation was too weak to even approach, let alone intervene.
Though it was heartbreaking to see her eyes gouged out, in the world of cultivators, even severe physical injuries were often manageable.
They initially thought it was a minor injury they could heal.
But they hadn’t expected Linghu Hongfei to be so vicious.
He used a special technique to remove her eyes from her soul, a method that made them nearly impossible to restore.
Thus, Chu Xuanzhengfa and the others were powerless and could only wait for Master Liangqiu to emerge and seek his help.
“That bastard.”
Learning the truth, a torrent of killing intent erupted from Chu Feng.
His fists clenched, veins bulging, his eyes blazing with fury, his body trembling.
At that moment, Chu Feng’s anger reached its peak. His killing intent wasn’t just external—it roared within him.
Chu Feng’s greatest taboo was harm to those close to him, especially in such a humiliating way as Linghu Hongfei had done to Chu Lingxi.
“I’m going to kill him.”
As he spoke, Chu Feng moved to leave, intent on settling the score with Linghu Hongfei.
“Chu Feng, calm down. Going now is suicide,” Liangqiu Chengfeng stopped him.
“He hurt Lingxi. I can’t sit idly by. He must pay in blood,” Chu Feng said.
“Paying in blood requires strength. If you go after Linghu Hongfei, you’ll face the entire Linghu Heavenly Clan.”
“You can’t even handle the Blood Devouring Hall, so how can you face the Linghu Heavenly Clan?” Liangqiu Chengfeng said.
“So what? They came to challenge us and hurt Lingxi. I can’t hide here. Even if it means death, I’ll fight him today,” Chu Feng declared.
“Chu Feng, they’ve already left,” Chu Xuanzhengfa said.
“Left?” Chu Feng was stunned.
“He came to challenge me, so why would he just leave like that?” Chu Feng asked, feeling puzzled.
Linghu Hongfei had come specifically to the Chu Heavenly Clan to challenge him.
His fight with Chu Lingxi was entirely unexpected.
Even if Chu Feng was in seclusion helping the Clan Leader, only three days had passed.
Linghu Hongfei had traveled billions of miles, a journey that took far longer than three days.
If he was so eager to challenge Chu Feng, why wouldn’t he wait such a short time and just leave?
