“I promised the three city lords, and I will keep my word.”
“But this matter has nothing to do with my clan.”
“If you, my lord, truly wish to kill, then kill only me.”
As the Chu Heavenly Clan Leader spoke, he stepped into the air, slowly approaching the nameless Feng Hong.
He was practically walking to his death.
“Clan Leader, no!”
Seeing this, Chu Xuanzhengfa and many other clan members tried to stop him.
But to their shock, they found an invisible barrier blocking them.
It was the Clan Leader’s pressure, his own aura.
The Chu Heavenly Clan Leader didn’t want them to sacrifice themselves needlessly, so he used his pressure to hold back all his clan members.
“Do you think I wouldn’t dare kill you?”
Feng Hong, the nameless one, raised his sword-like brows and asked coldly.
“My lord, you surely dare. But I, having made a promise to the three city lords, must uphold my duty.”
“Today, no matter what, I will not yield this position unless I am dead.”
The Chu Heavenly Clan Leader’s face was resolute, showing no fear of death.
It seemed he had long anticipated this moment and was prepared.
“Arrogant fool, you think I wouldn’t dare kill you?”
“A mere ant, I’ll show you your true worth.”
The conceited Feng Hong was enraged by the Clan Leader’s actions, his words laced with killing intent.
“Wait!!!”
But just as Feng Hong was about to strike, a voice rang out.
If it had come from the Chu Heavenly Clan, Feng Hong would have ignored it.
But this voice came from within the Nameless Clan.
It was Nameless Xingyun, one of the Nameless Clan’s ten top experts.
“Lord Feng Hong, let me try to persuade the Chu Clan Leader,” Xingyun said, stepping forward to request permission.
If any other of the ten experts had spoken, Feng Hong might not have given them face and could even have reprimanded them.
But Xingyun was different. Not only was he one of the ten top experts, he was also a Dragon Mark Insect-level Spiritist.
He held a unique status within the Nameless Clan.
“Xingyun, it’s not that I don’t give you face, but this old fool has been blinded by ambition, forgetting his place.”
“Such an ant dares to challenge our Nameless Clan.”
“If we let him go, others in the Starfield will follow suit. Where would our clan’s dignity be?” Feng Hong said.
“Lord Feng Hong, let me try to persuade him,” Xingyun requested again.
“Lord Feng Hong, let Lord Xingyun try.”
“Lord Feng Hong, give Lord Xingyun a chance.”
At that moment, two more voices spoke up.
They were from two juniors, but no ordinary ones.
They were Nameless Yuan Zhi and Nameless Xiong Mo.
These two were the Nameless Clan’s greatest geniuses, the future hope of the clan.
Then, more voices from the Nameless Clan joined in, hoping to persuade the Chu Heavenly Clan Leader.
Among them was Nameless Fenghuo, another of the Nameless Clan’s ten top experts.
Fenghuo had visited the Chu Heavenly Clan and witnessed Chu Feng’s talent.
Because of Chu Feng, he held a very positive view of the Chu Heavenly Clan.
Many onlookers were surprised by so many stepping forward, especially those of high status. But most didn’t know these people were intervening not out of fear of the Chu Heavenly Clan, but to give face to Chu Feng.
In this situation, even Feng Hong found himself in a difficult position.
“Thank you for your kindness, my lords.”
“But my mind is made up.”
“The position of Ancestral Martial Starfield Master is not mine to give away.”
“If the Nameless Clan truly wants it, they’ll have to step over my corpse,” the Chu Heavenly Clan Leader declared loudly.
He wasn’t rejecting kindness or being ungrateful.
He knew better than anyone that if he yielded, he could walk away unharmed.
But he had his pride, his dignity.
He was well aware that since taking the position of Ancestral Martial Starfield Master, many in the Starfield disapproved of him.
His strength was lacking, and he had no complaints about that.
But he hadn’t given up or acted recklessly despite being looked down upon.
Instead, he worked diligently to fulfill his duties.
His strength might not qualify him to be the Starfield Master.
But he wanted to show that, even if his strength was lacking, his character was trustworthy.
Having taken this position, he would defend it.
If today, he surrendered the Starfield Master position just because the Nameless Clan was powerful, he would never hold his head high again.
A coward like that would truly be unfit to be the Ancestral Martial Starfield Master.
So, even if it meant death, he would never compromise.
“Fine, fine, fine, you shameless old thing.”
“Since you want to die, I’ll grant your wish.”
Feng Hong already looked down on the Chu Heavenly Clan Leader.
When he learned the Chu Clan Leader had become the Ancestral Martial Starfield Master, he had mocked him as shameless.
He had thought the Chu Clan Leader was just a monkey acting as king in the tiger’s absence.
He expected the Chu Clan Leader to be terrified and surrender the Starfield Master position upon seeing them.
But he hadn’t anticipated that, even after stating his intentions, the Chu Clan Leader still refused to yield.
This infuriated him. If not for his concern for the three cities, he would have killed the Chu Clan Leader already.
But now, with the Chu Clan Leader’s defiance, he could no longer hold back.
His eyes blazed with killing intent, and everyone present could feel its overwhelming force.
He was truly going to kill the Chu Heavenly Clan Leader.
In this moment, the Chu Heavenly Clan Leader closed his eyes, ready to face death.
“Let’s see who dares touch him.”
But at that moment, a furious shout exploded from the distance.
Most people’s expressions changed upon hearing it.
The voice was so familiar—it sounded like Chu Feng’s.
All eyes turned toward the source of the voice.
Under their gazes, a figure appeared in their line of sight.
It was none other than, as they suspected, Chu Feng.
Chu Feng was back!!!
Chu Feng flew in from the distance, ignoring everyone else, heading straight for the Chu Heavenly Clan Leader and landing in front of him.
“Chu Feng…” The Chu Heavenly Clan Leader was surprised to see him.
“Clan Leader, it’s alright now. Leave the rest to me,” Chu Feng said.
The Chu Heavenly Clan Leader nodded.
Though he was the clan leader, this young man had long become the true backbone of the Chu Heavenly Clan.
And Chu Feng had never let him down.
He believed that even against the Nameless Clan, Chu Feng could handle it.
After reassuring the Clan Leader, Chu Feng turned, casting a cold gaze over the Nameless Clan’s army.
In that moment, the once-noisy sea of people fell silent.
Some didn’t even dare meet Chu Feng’s gaze.
People were afraid. The disdainful, mocking looks toward the Chu Heavenly Clan vanished.
Not just the onlookers, but even many in the Nameless Clan were afraid.
They looked down on the Chu Heavenly Clan and its leader, but no one dared look down on Chu Feng.
By now, they all knew the Chu Heavenly Clan became the Ancestral Martial Starfield’s hegemon not because of its leader, but because of Chu Feng.
The Ancestral Martial Dragon City, Divine Body Royal City, Monstrous Clan Holy City, and Wanzhou Ancient Clan all supported the Chu Heavenly Clan Leader as the Starfield Master.
Not because they truly valued him.
It was all to give face to Chu Feng.
Though he was a junior, everyone knew he was no ordinary junior.
He held immense status in the Ancestral Martial Starfield.
He was the Chu Heavenly Clan’s most feared existence.
Not only was he extraordinarily talented, the greatest genius of the Ancestral Martial Starfield.
In his battle against the Linghu Heavenly Clan, he had used a treasure to suppress their powerful clan leader despite being a junior.
And most importantly, he had the backing of the three cities.
