Hearing Song Ge’s words, Chu Feng couldn’t help but laugh.
Instead of slowing down, he sped up.
In this situation, Song Ge was so startled that she quickly shut her eyes.
Yet, the expected collision didn’t happen. Instead, a pleasant scent of plants filled the air. When she opened her eyes, she found they had already entered the Seven Suns Mountain Range.
The protective barrier that kept all visitors out hadn’t stopped them at all.
“How… how did you do that?” Song Ge asked, looking at Chu Feng in disbelief.
To her, the idea of the protective barrier disappearing was impossible.
Having grown up in the Seven Suns Mountain Range, she knew it better than anyone.
So, she couldn’t comprehend how Chu Feng had managed to get in.
But just then, an even more shocking scene unfolded.
“Lord Shura, you’ve arrived,” said the guardians of the Seven Suns Mountain Range. Not only did they approach Chu Feng proactively, but they were also brimming with enthusiasm, as if greeting a distinguished figure.
“Is Master Yuan Shu here?” Chu Feng asked.
“If anyone else asked, he’d definitely not be here, but for you, he’s always available,” one of the guardians replied, then led the way for Chu Feng.
“Shura, you… who are you, exactly?” Song Ge asked, her gaze now filled with admiration.
Even when she first met Chu Feng and was awed by his strength, she never imagined his status would be so extraordinary.
Not only could he freely enter the Seven Suns Mountain Range, bypassing countless protective barriers, but even the guardians treated him with such warmth.
Especially the words, “If anyone else asked, he’d definitely not be here, but for you, he’s always available.”
Those words sent shivers down Song Ge’s spine.
Only now did she understand why Chu Feng dared to challenge the All-Heaven Sect.
The Shura standing before her was far more unfathomable and powerful than she had ever imagined.
Soon after, Chu Feng smoothly met with Master Yuan Shu.
Upon seeing him, Chu Feng shared that he had entered the Demon-Slaying Great Emperor’s tomb and received its legacy. He also mentioned his venture into the Gale Hunter Clan’s territory, using the opportunity to ask Yuan Shu if the mysterious expert who saved him could be Yuan Shu’s master, Master Tang Chen.
“Congratulations, Brother Chu Feng! To receive the legacy of the Demon-Slaying Great Emperor, your future achievements are boundless,” Yuan Shu said with a beaming smile, genuinely happy for Chu Feng. “As expected of Old Man Ox-Nose’s disciple. I feel inferior by comparison.”
“So, Brother Yuan Shu, you’ve heard of the Demon-Slaying Great Emperor?” Chu Feng asked.
“How could I not? He was the most dazzling figure after the ancient era,” Yuan Shu replied. “My master mentioned him multiple times. The Demon-Slaying Great Emperor is a role model for us all. But his deeds are so ancient that I only know of his fame, not the specifics.”
“Brother Yuan Shu, do you think the one who saved me from the Gale Hunter Clan could be your master, Master Tang Chen?” Chu Feng asked.
“It’s hard to say. While there aren’t many experts in the All-Heaven Starfield, across the entire Holy Light Galaxy, there are still plenty of martial cultivation masters. There are several seniors like my master who have uncovered ancient beings, so it’s not certain,” Yuan Shu said.
“No matter who it was, that senior saved my life. I really want to thank them in person,” Chu Feng sighed.
“To them, saving you was likely a trivial act. You don’t need to dwell on it,” Yuan Shu said. “But are those three friends of yours really that important to you? To make you take such risks and enter an ancient race’s territory?”
“They’re very important,” Chu Feng said, his voice tinged with guilt. “But… they may have already met with misfortune.”
“Not necessarily. What you saw might not be remnant souls,” Yuan Shu said. “It could be memory energy.”
“Memory energy? What’s that?” Chu Feng asked.
“My master told me about it,” Yuan Shu explained. “When someone’s memories are forcibly stripped, those memories can form an energy, drifting like a remnant soul. This memory energy is like a wandering spirit. It can enter dreams or illusions but is fleeting and only interacts briefly with others. Based on what you described, it doesn’t seem like remnant souls, as they wouldn’t conveniently vanish right after encountering you. That doesn’t add up. So, I think memory energy is more likely. After all, your three friends not recognizing you could mean they’ve lost their memories, not necessarily that their bodies were taken over.”
“Is that really possible?” Chu Feng asked.
“Absolutely,” Yuan Shu nodded firmly.
“If that’s the case, that would be wonderful,” Chu Feng said, hoping Yuan Shu’s theory was true.
If Ya Fei, Yan Ruyu, and Murong Wan had only lost their memories rather than having their bodies taken over, there was still hope for recovery.
