The eight large characters formed by the gathering dark clouds loomed over the entire land.
At the same time, they cast a massive shadow, enveloping all the members of the Zuoqiu Heavenly Clan.
The mere thought that the terrifying thunder was linked to Chu Feng made the Zuoqiu Heavenly Clan members realise they had stirred up a massive calamity.
Without exception, every member of the Zuoqiu Heavenly Clan turned pale, trembling in fear.
They didn’t even dare to speak.
They had offended someone they couldn’t afford to provoke.
*Thud—*
Suddenly, someone fell to their knees—it was Zuoqiu Hanxun, the Supreme Elder of the Zuoqiu Heavenly Clan.
“A misunderstanding, it’s all a misunderstanding. We truly had no intention of troubling Chu Feng, nor was there any talk of luring thunder. It was genuinely a misunderstanding.”
“Please, great one, show mercy. Please forgive us.”
After kneeling, Zuoqiu Hanxun kowtowed and bowed, like a commoner pleading for forgiveness from a deity, his attitude utterly humble.
This scene stunned the Zuoqiu Heavenly Clan members.
This was their lofty Supreme Elder, never before seen in such a humbled state.
“What are you standing there for? Kneel!”
Suddenly, Zuoqiu Hanxun shouted angrily at his clansmen.
His voice was filled with fury.
At his words, the other clansmen hurriedly knelt.
They joined Zuoqiu Hanxun in begging for forgiveness.
But one person remained standing—the Zuoqiu Heavenly Clan Leader.
*Crackle—*
At that moment, lightning surged again within the dark clouds.
The sudden reappearance of the lightning startled everyone.
The thunder had vanished, only to return, as if reminding someone.
Reminding who? Naturally, the only one who hadn’t knelt—the Zuoqiu Heavenly Clan Leader.
Seeing this, the Clan Leader’s face twisted in fear, and he hurriedly knelt.
He was terrified, afraid the lightning would strike him directly.
Though the lightning wasn’t as numerous as before, its might was still overwhelming, beyond his ability to resist.
But most surprisingly, after the Clan Leader knelt, not only did the lightning in the clouds vanish, but the clouds themselves began to dissipate.
Though the crisis was resolved, the Zuoqiu Heavenly Clan members grew even more afraid.
Especially the Clan Leader.
Initially, he had doubted whether this was truly related to Chu Feng.
But now, he was certain—this was indeed connected to Chu Feng.
Chu Feng had immense backing, with a colossal figure supporting him.
Though the clouds had dispersed, every member of the Zuoqiu Heavenly Clan was drenched in cold sweat, too frightened to stand.
After all, they had just narrowly escaped clan annihilation.
…
Chu Feng was unaware of what happened after he left.
Though he successfully escaped the Ancient Thunder Array using the teleportation talisman, teleportation took time.
Chu Feng had prearranged a teleportation destination with Fumo Shaoyu and Fumo Xiner.
After some time in transit, Chu Feng finally emerged from the spatial tunnel.
Upon returning to reality, he smoothly reunited with Fumo Shaoyu and Fumo Xiner.
“Brother Chu Feng, you’re safe. That’s great news.”
Seeing Chu Feng, Fumo Shaoyu and Fumo Xiner rushed over.
Though their faces bore joyful smiles, Chu Feng could see worry in their expressions.
Clearly, these two newfound friends had been concerned for his safety.
“It’s over.”
Chu Feng said.
“I saw it. Though from afar, I still saw the lightning in the sky.”
“The might of the Divine Thunder Tribulation lives up to its name.”
“So, Brother Chu Feng, you must have successfully broken through, right?”
Fumo Shaoyu asked.
“Mm.”
Chu Feng nodded affirmatively.
He then detailed the events to Fumo Shaoyu and Fumo Xiner, including how he defeated the two geniuses of the Zuoqiu Heavenly Clan and placed a curse on Zuoqiu Tiansheng.
After hearing the account, Fumo Shaoyu and Fumo Xiner couldn’t stop grinning.
They found Chu Feng’s actions immensely satisfying.
The only pity was that they couldn’t witness it firsthand, seeing how Chu Feng toyed with the Zuoqiu Heavenly Clan.
But amid their joy, Fumo Shaoyu noticed something off.
Because Chu Feng’s face didn’t show much happiness.
“Brother Chu Feng, you thoroughly trounced the Zuoqiu Heavenly Clan. Why don’t you seem particularly happy?” Fumo Shaoyu asked.
“The Zuoqiu Heavenly Clan is powerful.”
“I only gained the upper hand through the Ancient Thunder Array’s barrier and the teleportation talisman you gave me.”
“But in terms of real strength, I’m far inferior to them.”
“And during our clash, I forgot to hide my identity. They’ll surely seek revenge.”
“Though I placed a curse on Zuoqiu Tiansheng to deter retaliation, the Zuoqiu Heavenly Clan won’t let this go. They’ll definitely investigate my identity.”
“And they’ll likely hire experts to break the curse.”
“If they can’t break it, they might hold back out of fear.”
“But if someone can break the curse, they’ll have no reservations and will surely go on a killing spree.”
“My clan will eventually be exposed, and that could harm my people.”
Chu Feng voiced his concerns.
“Brother Chu Feng, I understand your worries. In that case, let’s return to your clan first and find a way to hide your people.”
“After all, a gentleman’s revenge can wait ten years.”
“Though you’re not their match now, you’ll surely surpass them in the future.”
“Then, settling the score won’t be too late.”
Fumo Shaoyu said.
“But I promised a senior to help them.”
“Counting the time I’ve delayed, I might already be late. I must find that senior first.”
“I’m worried that by the time I help the senior and return to warn my clan, it’ll be too late.”
Chu Feng said.
“That’s simple. Tell me where your clan is, and I’ll go notify them.”
Fumo Shaoyu said.
“Then I’ll trouble you, Brother Shaoyu.”
Chu Feng thanked him promptly. Though it was a bit of an imposition, it was indeed a very good plan.
Then, Chu Feng and Fumo Shaoyu made arrangements.
Fumo Shaoyu would notify Chu Feng’s clan, then meet up in the Fengxian Upper Realm.
“See you later, big brother.”
Fumo Xiner said.
“See you later?”
“What’s that supposed to mean, you little brat? Are you ditching your brother to follow Brother Chu Feng?”
Fumo Shaoyu’s mouth dropped in surprise.
“Big brother, I just want to see the world. You’re only going to notify them. Once you’re done, you can come find us, right?”
“Besides, you have my tracking talisman. If I’m with Chu Feng, it’ll be easier for you to find us.”
Fumo Xiner said with a cheeky smile.
“Valuing romance over your brother? That’s heartless!”
“Fine, Fumo Xiner, I, Fumo Shaoyu, will remember this.”
“Farewell.”
With that, Fumo Shaoyu stepped into the teleportation array.
Though he looked sorrowful during the farewell, Chu Feng and Fumo Xiner both smiled.
They knew Fumo Shaoyu was only pretending to be sad, joking with them.
Though they hadn’t known each other long, Chu Feng knew Fumo Shaoyu was reliable.
He would handle notifying Chu Feng’s clan properly.
