“These are the items Song Yichen used when she was alive, carrying her aura.”
As Tuo Ba Cheng’an spoke, he waved his sleeve, and items appeared in mid-air: clothing, a Qiankun bag, and a token.
The clothing was the attire of an elder from the Red Robe Holy Land, and the token was exclusive to their Supreme Elder.
In fact, every item here, including the Qiankun bag, had belonged to Elder Song Yichen when she was alive.
Seeing this, Cheng Hui took all the items that once belonged to Elder Song Yichen.
As he donned them, Cheng Hui’s appearance underwent a dramatic transformation.
He was no longer an aged old man but a middle-aged woman.
Though her looks were plain, she exuded an air of refinement. Most notably, her face suggested she was a kind-hearted person.
She was, of course, Song Yichen.
But sadly…
Elder Song Yichen was already dead. The person now was merely Cheng Hui in disguise.
“Remember, you are now Song Yichen, Supreme Elder of the Red Robe Holy Land.”
“No matter the outcome, this will be your identity from now on.”
“But you must remain loyal to the Zhutian Clan. If you betray us or sell out the Zhutian Clan…”
“Not only will you die, but your family will die as well,” Tuo Ba Cheng’an said, his eyes filled with ruthless intent. It wasn’t a threat; he meant every word.
“Rest assured, Grand Elder. I, Cheng Hui, will not let you down,” Cheng Hui replied, a glint of determination in his eyes.
At this point, he had no other choice. He could only hope that Shura had no powerful backing.
If so, not only would he remain safe, but he would surely be rewarded by the Zhutian Clan’s leader.
…
At that moment, Chu Feng was still at Yin Zhuanghong’s residence.
All the other elders and disciples had left, leaving only Chu Feng behind.
Yin Zhuanghong had invited Chu Feng into her palace.
Once inside, Chu Feng set up a soundproof barrier.
After all, the conversation he was about to have with Yin Zhuanghong was not meant for others’ ears.
By now, the two had already spoken at length.
Chu Feng had explained his decision to leave, and Yin Zhuanghong naturally didn’t try to stop him. On the contrary, she was deeply grateful to him.
Not to mention that Chu Feng had helped the Red Robe Holy Land defeat the Secret Cave Group Saints.
Just moments ago, if it weren’t for Chu Feng’s intervention, Yin Zhuanghong would have been forced to reveal her true cultivation under pressure.
“You’re too bold.”
“I know you did it to save me.”
“But you shouldn’t have injured Nangong Yifan. You don’t know how overbearing the Zhutian Clan is.”
“They won’t let this go,” Yin Zhuanghong said, looking at Chu Feng not with blame but with worry, fearing he’d be harmed because of her.
“So, you’ve hidden your cultivation because you’re afraid of them?” Chu Feng asked.
“Why do you say that?” Yin Zhuanghong countered.
“As you said, the Zhutian Clan is domineering. A force like theirs won’t allow anyone in the Zhutian Star Region to threaten them.”
“If the world knew your cultivation surpassed Nangong Yifan’s, that the strongest genius in the Zhutian Star Region isn’t from their clan but from the Red Robe Holy Land…”
“Not only would you become a threat to the Zhutian Clan, but the Red Robe Holy Land would too.”
“That’s why you dare not reveal your true cultivation and deliberately hide your strength,” Chu Feng said.
Yin Zhuanghong fell silent. Though she didn’t respond, her silence gave Chu Feng his answer.
“If they find out you’re from the Chu Heavenly Clan, your clan will be implicated too,” Yin Zhuanghong said.
“I’ve already been implicated, but not because of me,” Chu Feng said with a wry smile.
“What do you mean? Has something happened?” Yin Zhuanghong asked.
Then, Chu Feng told her about the Zhutian Clan secretly aiding the Linghu Heavenly Clan.
After learning this, Yin Zhuanghong’s expression shifted. She seemed to understand why Chu Feng held such deep animosity towards the Zhutian Clan.
So, it turned out the Zhutian Clan and the Chu Heavenly Clan were already enemies.
“What are your plans moving forward?” Yin Zhuanghong asked with concern.
“Don’t worry about me. The Zhutian Clan can’t touch me.”
“Don’t forget, I can hide myself so well that even your master couldn’t see through me. The Zhutian Clan won’t find me either.”
“Even if they want to deal with me, it won’t be easy.”
“As for here in the Red Robe Holy Land, they wouldn’t dare kill me, would they?”
“After all, I’m a guest of the Red Robe Holy Land, and your master would likely protect me,” Chu Feng said.
“You’re quite confident,” Yin Zhuanghong remarked.
“My confidence isn’t baseless; it comes from reason,” Chu Feng said with a smile.
But suddenly, his expression changed. He sensed a hostile aura approaching from outside the palace.
Bang—
Before Chu Feng could react, the palace door was kicked open.
Not only did the door shatter, but the soundproof barrier he had set up was destroyed as well.
Then, a powerful force enveloped the entire palace.
Chu Feng and Yin Zhuanghong were both restrained, unableto move.
Because the opponent was a Supreme Realm powerhouse.
“Who are you?” Chu Feng could see a figure standing at the door.
But this person wasn’t from the Zhutian Clan—it was someone from the Red Robe Holy Land.
This elder, however, was looking at him with intense killing intent.
Chu Feng couldn’t make sense of the situation.
He couldunderstand if someone from the Zhutian Clan wanted to kill him, as he had indeed offended them.
But why would someone from the Red Robe Holy Land attack him?
Chu Feng couldn’t think of a reason.
“Be careful, Chu Feng. She’s not an elder of the Red Robe Holy Land.”
Just as Chu Feng was puzzled, a voice reached his ears.
It was Yin Zhuanghong’s secret transmission.
“Not from the Red Robe Holy Land?”
Hearing this, Chu Feng immediately used his Heaven’s Eye to closely examine the figure.
But no matter how he looked, he couldn’t spot any flaws.
Even so, Chu Feng trusted Yin Zhuanghong’s words.
Because her eyes were exceptionally sharp, able to see through things even his Heaven’s Eye couldn’t.
Swish—
At that moment, the elder from the Red Robe Holy Land appeared before Chu Feng, grabbed his throat, and lifted him up.
“Shura, your origins are unclear. You must have ulterior motives.”
“I know you’re not a junior but an old monster who’s cultivated for years.”
“I don’t care what your purpose is, approaching Yin Zhuanghong and infiltrating our Red Robe Holy Land under the guise of a junior.”
“Today, I will end you here.”
As she spoke, Chu Feng felt a tidal wave of killing intent crashing against his body and soul.
In that moment, he even sensed the aura of death.
The opponent truly intended to kill him.
And he was utterly powerless to resist.
Chu Feng was about to be killed.
