“Are you the one who dares to challenge our clan leader?”
After scanning the surroundings, Chu Feng fixed his cold gaze on Wuming Fenghong.
Facing Chu Feng’s stare, Wuming Fenghong, despite his lofty status, felt his expression darken.
To say he wasn’t wary of Chu Feng would be a lie.
But as one of the six supreme elders of the Wuming Clan, he had his pride.
Though he had heard of Chu Feng’s deeds and felt some apprehension, he couldn’t show it.
Thus, his attitude remained defiant, and he mocked Chu Feng with a sneer.
“Just a junior, where does all this confidence come from?”
“You’re merely relying on the Three Cities to back you up,” Wuming Fenghong said to Chu Feng.
Hearing this, Chu Feng didn’t get angry but instead gave a faint smile. “So what if I rely on the Three Cities? At least I have someone to rely on.”
“Unlike some people who were beaten and chased away by the Linghu Clan, not even daring to stay in the Ancestral Martial Starfield.”
“Now that the Linghu Clan has been driven out, you come crawling back, strutting around, wanting to be the master of the Ancestral Martial Starfield.”
“Why don’t you take a good look in the mirror, recall how you fled in fear from the Linghu Clan, and ask yourselves, are you worthy?”
“You!!!”
At this, not just Wuming Fenghong, but many from the Wuming Clan flushed with anger.
Chu Feng’s words struck right at their sore spot.
They looked down on the Chu Clan because their strength was undeniably weak.
But the Wuming Clan, as the former overlord of the Ancestral Martial Starfield, had been driven out by the Linghu Clan, an undeniable fact as well.
In comparison, the Wuming Clan’s actions were equally shameful.
“Chu Feng, you should know that words can bring calamity.”
“Don’t think that with the Three Cities backing you, I wouldn’t dare touch you.”
Wuming Fenghong’s gaze grew colder.
He was truly enraged by Chu Feng.
“You can try,” Chu Feng replied, unfazed by the threat. His eyes were filled with contempt, as if Wuming Fenghong were a mere clown.
Yet, within Chu Feng’s mocking smile lurked a hidden killing intent.
Chu Feng was angry too.
He had just returned from outside, thinking that with the Three Cities’ support, the Chu Clan should be at peace.
But before he could even enter his home, he found the Wuming Clan coming to confront the Chu Clan.
If it were just a peaceful discussion, that would be one thing.
But the Wuming Clan intended to kill the Chu Clan leader.
Their stance wasn’t just a threat; they meant to act on it.
Had Chu Feng arrived a moment later, the Chu Clan leader would have died at Wuming Fenghong’s hands.
So, Chu Feng’s heart was already burning with rage.
He thought to himself, you couldn’t fight the Linghu Clan and fled in disgrace.
Now that my Chu Clan has driven out the Linghu Clan, you come to bully us?
This was bullying pushed to the extreme.
If not for some familiar faces in the Wuming Clan, Chu Feng would have already acted.
He held back to give those acquaintances some face.
But if Wuming Fenghong didn’t know better and dared to attack, Chu Feng would ensure he learned what true regret meant today.
“You think I wouldn’t dare?” Wuming Fenghong, a hot-tempered man, was overcome with anger and ready to act regardless.
His pressure shifted, as if he were truly about to strike Chu Feng.
“Elder Fenghong, stop!” At that moment, two elders stepped in front of Wuming Fenghong, forcibly suppressing his pressure.
These two were also First Rank Supreme Realm experts, among the Wuming Clan’s six supreme elders, equal in status and strength to Wuming Fenghong.
Earlier, they hadn’t stopped Wuming Fenghong from targeting the Chu Clan leader.
But now, they intervened.
This showed the Wuming Clan’s wariness of Chu Feng.
They could disregard the Chu Clan, but not Chu Feng.
They knew well what kind of force the Ancestral Martial Dragon City was.
If they truly harmed Chu Feng and angered the Dragon City, they would face dire consequences.
After all, the Dragon City was a force that dared to challenge even the Supreme Elder of the All-Heaven Sect.
“Are we just going to let a junior like him run wild in front of our Wuming Clan?”
“When has our Wuming Clan ever been so humiliated?” Wuming Fenghong gritted his teeth.
He felt that being intimidated by the Chu Clan was a great disgrace.
“Wait a bit. The clan leader should handle this.”
“After all, if the Chu Clan attends that invitation, it will disgrace our entire Ancestral Martial Starfield,” one of the elders whispered.
Hearing this, Wuming Fenghong’s expression shifted.
He suddenly remembered that their clan had a trump card.
That trump card was their clan leader, the Starfield Master, Wuming Doutian.
Though Wuming Doutian was domineering toward other forces in the Starfield, he knew the most powerful force wasn’t his Wuming Clan but the Ancestral Martial Dragon City.
Thus, over the years, he maintained good relations with the Dragon City.
The Wuming Clan had returned to the Starfield some time ago.
They hadn’t immediately confronted the Chu Clan because Wuming Doutian forbade it.
He wasn’t afraid of the Chu Clan but was giving face to the Dragon City.
Wuming Doutian had gone alone to the Dragon City some time ago, aiming to declare their intent to reclaim the Starfield Master’s position and seek the Dragon City’s support.
The Wuming Clan initially thought this would be easy.
But when Wuming Doutian stayed there without news, they realised the issue might be trickier than expected.
However, just days ago, they received a secret letter from Wuming Doutian.
The letter instructed them to come to the Chu Clan’s doorstep today.
So, they believed their clan leader must have reached an agreement with the Dragon City.
Thus, they came prepared today.
Still, the person before them was Chu Feng.
Until their clan leader arrived, they didn’t dare act recklessly.
If they mistakenly killed Chu Feng and angered the Dragon City, even their clan leader couldn’t save them.
With this in mind, Wuming Fenghong suppressed his anger.
But he could do so because he recalled they were prepared today.
He felt that once their clan leader arrived, it would be the Chu Clan’s downfall.
As long as the Dragon City no longer sheltered Chu Feng, in their eyes, he was just an ant, like the Chu Clan, easily crushed.
“Arrogant little beast relying on others’ power, let’s see how long you can stay smug. When our clan leader arrives, we’ll see if you’re still so bold,” Wuming Fenghong thought to himself, glaring at Chu Feng.
