“I recall he also insulted our Chu Heavenly Clan.”
Chu Feng said, looking at Xuan Yihang.
At those words, Xuan Yihang’s face paled, and the Xuanming Family’s Supreme Elder sensed trouble, immediately wanting to plead for his young master.
Swish—
Before he could speak, Chu Feng moved, appearing before Xuan Yihang. With a swing of his sleeve, a loud “slap” echoed, and Xuan Yihang was sent flying.
When he landed, his face was deformed, and he had passed out.
The sight terrified the Xuanming Family members.
Chu Feng’s single slap was far more brutal than the thousand self-inflicted slaps they had endured.
That one strike had taken half of Xuan Yihang’s life.
Seeing Xuan Yihang on the brink of death, the Xuanming Family members were heartbroken.
In truth, they were afraid.
This was their patriarch’s most beloved son.
Now, under their protection, he’d been beaten to this state. How would they explain this?
Buzz—
Before they could think further, they froze.
A bone-chilling cold swept over the area, laced with overwhelming killing intent.
The killing intent churned, turning the surroundings into a hellish domain.
Everyone seemed trapped in this hell.
But only the Xuanming Family felt this terrifying aura.
The martial cultivators of Purple Star Upper Realm sensed no change.
They didn’t even understand why the Xuanming Family suddenly stood frozen in fear, some even crying.
It was Chu Feng, his aura threatening every member of the Xuanming Family.
“Listen well. Your actions today have crossed my line.”
“I’m sparing you to give you a chance to reform.”
“I hope you cherish this chance and behave humbly in the future.”
“Never again bully others, especially not in front of my Chu Heavenly Clan.”
“If you ignore my warning and continue your evil deeds, I, Chu Feng, will annihilate your Xuanming Family.”
Each of Chu Feng’s words pierced the Xuanming Family’s souls like invisible blades.
This wasn’t a threat, it was a warning.
Any further offense would meet no mercy.
“We wouldn’t dare, it’s all a misunderstanding, a misunderstanding!”
The Xuanming Family’s Supreme Elder said.
Chu Feng ignored him, waving his hand to signal their departure.
Seeing Chu Feng finally allow them to leave, the Xuanming Family members hurriedly fled, vanishing in the blink of an eye.
Recalling their grand, domineering arrival, and now their pathetic retreat, the Purple Star Upper Realm onlookers felt a sense of satisfaction.
Clap, clap, clap—
Suddenly, thunderous applause erupted.
Cheers and shouts of approval followed.
“Chu Heavenly Clan, well done!”
“Is that young hero called Chu Feng? You’re incredible, scaring the Xuanming Family’s Supreme Elder into fleeing. I’m impressed!”
The applause and cheers came not from the Chu Heavenly Clan but from the Purple Star Upper Realm crowd.
Though they’d only just met Chu Feng, they were captivated by his performance.
“If anyone asks about the dispute between my Chu Heavenly Clan and the Xuanming Family, I hope you’ll bear witness that it wasn’t I, Chu Feng, bullying them, but the Xuanming Family bullying us first.”
Chu Feng said loudly.
He knew the Xuanming Family likely wouldn’t let this go.
They might twist the truth and slander the Chu Heavenly Clan.
The people present were the best witnesses to prevent the Xuanming Family from distorting the facts.
“Young hero, rest assured, we in Purple Star Upper Realm always distinguish right from wrong. We’ll spread the truth about today’s events.”
“Yes, the Xuanming Family, just a hegemon from an abandoned star domain, dared to act arrogantly in our Purple Star Upper Realm. We’ll make them famous.”
The martial cultivators of Purple Star Upper Realm assured him.
Having dealt with the Xuanming Family, Chu Feng didn’t forget the gift prepared by Purple Star Hall.
That vast field of Purple Star Vine Flowers!!!
Since they had to continue their journey, Chu Feng extracted the Purple Star Vine Flowers on the spot.
He converted them directly into cultivation resources.
Of course, while the Purple Star Vine Flowers contained immense natural energy and even held insights into martial cultivation, allowing for breakthroughs if studied deeply, their raw power was volatile. Chu Feng needed to use a formation to refine them before they could be used for cultivation.
After extracting the Purple Star Vine Flowers, the Chu Heavenly Clan continued their journey toward Purple Star Hall.
The Chu Heavenly Clan members, now back on the road, were in high spirits.
They had been worried about this being a trap.
But they hadn’t expected to encounter the Xuanming Family upon arriving in Purple Star Upper Realm, let alone clash with them.
Yet, they not only emerged victorious but did so spectacularly, venting their frustrations.
However, some, like Chu Hanpeng, were concerned.
At that moment, Chu Feng, the Chu Heavenly Clan Patriarch, and Chu Hanpeng were inside a traveling palace.
“Chu Feng, why not return those treasures to the Xuanming Family?”
Chu Hanpeng said to Chu Feng.
Chu Feng didn’t respond but looked at the Chu Heavenly Clan Patriarch, “Patriarch, what do you think?”
“I’ve only heard of the Xuanming Family’s deeds, this is my first encounter with them.”
“Today’s enmity is already set. Even if we return the treasures now, they won’t let it go.”
“If they were a reasonable force, they wouldn’t have insulted our Chu Heavenly Clan without cause or tried to seize our Purple Star Vine Flowers in broad daylight.”
“Fortunately, though the Xuanming Family acts domineeringly, they’re among the weakest of the ten abandoned star domains, aside from our Ancestral Martial Star Domain.”
“From what I know, their patriarch’s cultivation seems to be stuck at Third Rank Supreme.”
The Chu Heavenly Clan Patriarch said.
“Third Rank Supreme? If that’s all, Chu Feng can handle it.”
“Then there’s nothing to fear.”
Hearing this, Chu Hanpeng’s expression brightened.
“Mm.”
The Chu Heavenly Clan Patriarch nodded in agreement.
“So, according to the Patriarch, we shouldn’t return them, right?”
Chu Feng asked.
“Even if I told you to return them, would you?”
The Chu Heavenly Clan Patriarch asked.
“Heh, no way.”
Chu Feng grinned.
“You rascal.”
The Patriarch shook his head helplessly, then looked at the grand formation in the center of the palace.
A raging purple light, like a ferocious beast, seemed ready to break free.
But the formation was sturdy, unshaken by the violent energy.
Instead, it was slowly absorbing and refining it.
That wild energy came from the Purple Star Vine Flowers.
And the sealing formation was set up by Chu Feng himself to refine them.
The Patriarch looked at the Purple Star Vine Flowers, his eyes filled with anticipation.
