But Chu Feng’s reflections were not limited to these matters; there was something else.
He had already defeated the Nameless Clan, making the Chu Heavenly Clan the overlord of the Ancestral Martial Starfield.
Though he didn’t think this was a particularly remarkable achievement.
Because he knew in his heart that if his father had wanted to, he could have accomplished this long ago.
And he could have done it better, in a way that would have been even more awe-inspiring.
Still, Chu Feng felt a slight sense of pride.
After all, making the Chu Heavenly Clan the hegemon of the Ancestral Martial Starfield was a task his father had entrusted to him.
By completing this task, he had, in a way, fulfilled a dying wish of the Chu Heavenly Clan’s ancestor.
“Chu Feng, what are you thinking about, standing here alone?”
Suddenly, the voice of the Chu Heavenly Clan’s Patriarch rang out.
Looking back, not only was the Patriarch there, but familiar figures like Chu Hanpeng and Chu Xuanzhengfa were also present.
“Patriarch, why are you all here?”
“With all of you out here, how can the banquet continue? Is it about to end?”
Chu Feng said with a smile.
“None of that matters, none of it is important.”
“What’s most important is you…”
“Chu Feng, how long can you stay with the clan this time?”
The Chu Heavenly Clan’s Patriarch asked.
“I came back this time because of Sister Liluo’s curse.”
“But she said she can’t be disturbed during her seclusion.”
“I’ll wait for a while.”
“I’ll try to wait until she comes out of seclusion.”
“Besides, don’t we still have to go to the Purple Star Hall?”
Chu Feng said.
“Chu Feng, the curse on Miss Liluo is no simple matter.”
“It must be dealt with urgently, or Miss Liluo could be in mortal danger.”
“This, for you and for our Chu Heavenly Clan, is indeed the most important matter right now.”
“As for the Purple Star Hall, that’s a minor issue.”
“You don’t need to come with me. Stay here and watch over Miss Liluo.”
“If she comes out of seclusion during this time and you miss her, that would be bad.”
The Chu Heavenly Clan’s Patriarch already knew that Chu Feng had a method to break curses.
Though it wasn’t certain whether it could break the curse on Bai Liluo, it was worth a try.
But hearing the Patriarch’s words, Chu Feng couldn’t help but laugh.
He knew that the Patriarch was aware that the gathering of the ten starfield overlords at the Purple Star Hall was likely to be a trap.
And with Chu Feng’s personality, he wouldn’t hold back.
In fact, during the short time since Chu Feng’s return, the Patriarch had, directly or indirectly, expressed multiple times that he didn’t want Chu Feng to attend the event at the Purple Star Hall.
But how could Chu Feng, knowing there might be danger, stay behind and let the Patriarch and the others go?
Wouldn’t that be sending them to be humiliated?
“Patriarch, let’s not talk about the Purple Star Hall anymore.”
“I’m definitely going. Even if you don’t go, I will.”
“Don’t forget, the invitation is with me.”
As Chu Feng spoke, he took out the invitation but quickly put it away again.
“You child.”
Seeing Chu Feng’s resolve, the Chu Heavenly Clan’s Patriarch shook his head.
He knew Chu Feng’s character well. If Chu Feng was determined to go, there was no stopping him.
However, among the ten abandoned starfields, not all forces were like the Nameless Clan.
Among the ten abandoned starfields, the Ancestral Martial Starfield was the weakest.
Though Chu Feng could defeat Nameless Doutian, the Patriarch didn’t believe Chu Feng could defeat the overlords of the other starfields.
He was genuinely worried about Chu Feng, not wanting him to be humiliated or, worse, put in danger.
Boom—
Suddenly, the world trembled violently.
The tremor was so strong that among the top experts of the Chu Heavenly Clan present, except for Chu Feng and the Patriarch, everyone struggled to stand and was knocked to the ground.
In fact, if Chu Feng hadn’t quickly supported the Patriarch, even he would have struggled to stay upright.
After steadying themselves, everyone turned their gazes toward the source of the massive sound.
It was the protective barrier.
The barrier array that guarded the Chu Heavenly Clan and sealed the heavens had a massive hole in it.
Seeing the hole, everyone’s heart tightened.
Instinctively, they knew someone had forcibly broken in.
But before Chu Feng and the others could ponder who was responsible, the barrier changed again.
At the base of the protective barrier, another layer of power appeared.
This power began to cover the barrier, eventually enveloping it completely.
However, this power wasn’t barrier energy; it was a force formed from martial power, black in colour.
When the black power fully covered the barrier array, the starry sky, once filled with starlight, vanished, replaced by a vast expanse of black.
The black veil sealing the sky contrasted sharply with the brightly lit Chu Heavenly Clan below.
It was an extremely oppressive, deeply unsettling contrast.
Seeing this, not to mention the others, even Chu Feng sensed trouble.
If the intruder had ill intentions, they could have acted openly.
But by deploying this power to seal the heavens, they seemed intent on concealing their actions.
This suggested that whatever they planned to do next was something they didn’t want others to see.
If it was something good, fine. But if it was something bad, the consequences were unimaginable.
“Jie jie jie…”
“Scared already?”
“The son of Chu Xuanyuan, is that all you are?”
A cold, sinister voice rang out, and at the same time, a figure emerged.
The figure, dressed in a blue robe, stood in the void.
It was Lanfu Jianpeng.
However, Chu Feng and the others didn’t know his identity, though they could sense his malicious intent.
“Who are you? I don’t know you. Why are you here?”
Chu Feng asked sternly.
“Who I am doesn’t matter. You only need to know that I’m here today to wipe out your Chu Heavenly Clan,” Lanfu Jianpeng said.
As he spoke, his gaze shifted, and an overwhelming killing intent swept through the heavens like a hurricane.
In an instant, it enveloped everything in the area.
At that moment, not only Chu Feng but everyone present could clearly feel the terrifying killing intent.
More importantly, the opponent’s aura was incredibly powerful, far surpassing that of Nameless Doutian.
Chu Feng could sense the opponent’s cultivation level.
The opponent was a Fifth Rank Supreme.
Chu Feng was well aware that the words just spoken were no joke. The man genuinely intended to slaughter the Chu Heavenly Clan.
And he had the strength to do so.
In this situation, even the Chu Heavenly Clan’s Patriarch was so frightened that he didn’t know what to do.
The only one who remained relatively calm was Chu Feng.
“Who are you, exactly? What grudge does my Chu Heavenly Clan have with you?”
“If you’re going to kill us, at least let us die knowing why.”
Chu Feng spoke up.
“Trying to stall for time, little brat?”
“Hah, only an ant like you would resort to such low tactics.”
Lanfu Jianpeng said mockingly.
