As soon as Zhao Batian spoke those words, Long Xiaoxiao’s little face froze. She was genuinely frightened.
Although she currently wore a disguised face and even her body had been altered, she was still herself. No matter what, she did not want her body exposed in front of everyone.
In truth, the Long Clan chief was also startled, yet he still showed no intention of moving.
“I say, Long Clan Chief, are you really going to stand by and do nothing?”
“That is your daughter. If anyone dared treat my daughter like this, I would have taken his head long ago. Yet here you are, just watching the show?”
The Lord of the All-Demon Sacred Palace looked at the Long Clan chief with mockery.
He was not close to Long Xiaoxiao and naturally refused to risk himself for her.
But if it were his own kin, he would never stand idly by. That was why he ridiculed the Long Clan chief.
In fact, the Yu Heavenly Clan chief and the Supreme Elder of the Cloudsky Immortal Sect were also watching the Long Clan chief. A trace of contempt had appeared in their eyes.
They all felt that the Long Clan chief’s forbearance was truly too heartless.
Yet even under everyone’s gaze, the Long Clan chief remained unmoved.
Not only did he refuse to act himself, he pressed down hard on Long Xiaoxiao’s mother and would not allow Long Shengbu to move either.
“If this continues, I fear Miss Long will be utterly humiliated.”
Seeing the situation, the Supreme Elder of the Cloudsky Immortal Sect sighed.
If Long Xiaoxiao were truly stripped naked in public, for any normal young woman that would be an enormous blow, especially when her own father was standing right there yet refused to save her.
Swish—
Suddenly, a figure shot into the sky.
When they saw who it was, the expressions of the Yu Heavenly Clan chief and the others grew complicated.
They were both surprised by this scene and yet felt it was somehow expected.
Because that figure was none other than Chu Feng.
They already had some understanding of Chu Feng’s personality.
Chu Feng was an extremely bold person.
They simply had not expected that he would truly step forward to rescue her at a moment like this.
“Does he really not fear death?”
Among the crowd, Yin Daifen’s beautiful eyes flickered. Complex emotions swirled within them.
She had long known that Chu Feng and Long Xiaoxiao shared an extraordinary relationship.
Yet she truly had not expected that Chu Feng would still intervene when facing members of the Zhao family.
After all, right now even the Yu Clan chief, the Lord of the All-Demon Sacred Palace, and Long Xiaoxiao’s own father, the esteemed Long Clan chief, dared not act rashly.
Yet Chu Feng dared. This was not ignorance. This was genuine courage.
Originally she had not been certain.
But when she saw Chu Feng flying straight towards Zhao Batian and Long Xiaoxiao, when she saw Long Xiaoxiao spot Chu Feng and instantly grow nervous, although Long Xiaoxiao said nothing, the clever Yin Daifen knew that Long Xiaoxiao must be secretly transmitting to Chu Feng, urging him to leave quickly before the Zhao family noticed him.
Yet even then, Chu Feng did not back down.
A trace of envy actually appeared in Yin Daifen’s beautiful eyes.
Envy towards Long Xiaoxiao.
Although she was constantly pampered back at the Cloudsky Immortal Sect, if she honestly asked herself whether, in real danger like Long Xiaoxiao faced now, there would be someone like Chu Feng willing to stand up for her.
“Who is that?”
“Daring to cause trouble at a time like this, does he want to die?”
At that moment, cries of shock rose from the crowd.
After all, apart from those who had arrived with the Yu Heavenly Clan and the others, most people did not recognise Chu Feng.
They did not yet know why Chu Feng had appeared, but they felt that approaching Zhao Batian at this moment was suicidal.
What surprised everyone was that Zhao Batian did not even glance at Chu Feng.
He could not be bothered with a small fry like Chu Feng.
Instead, the other members of the Zhao family began hurling abuse at him.
“You little bastard, get down here right now.”
“If you want to die, fine, but don’t drag us down with you.”
“Get down at once, or your entire clan will be buried with you!!!”
The two old men who had previously guarded the gate were especially vicious.
It was worth noting, however, that although their words were ugly, they all transmitted them secretly.
No one knew why they did so.
Chu Feng, however, treated all of it as though he had heard nothing.
He reached into his Cosmos Sack, and a gourd appeared in his hand.
Then a stream of light burst forth, and a beautiful spirit beast materialised before everyone’s eyes.
“That’s a spirit beast!”
The moment the spirit beast appeared, a huge uproar swept through heaven and earth.
Even the Zhao family members who had been cursing Chu Feng immediately fell silent.
Even Zhao Batian turned to look at Chu Feng, joy shining in his eyes.
Because that spirit beast was precisely the one his younger brother, Zhao Yuzhuo, had been searching for.
Swish—
Yet just when the Zhao family thought Chu Feng had found the spirit beast and come to claim credit, Chu Feng suddenly reached out and seized the spirit beast by its vital point.
“Release her. This spirit beast is yours.”
Chu Feng looked at Zhao Batian and said.
“You’re her accomplice?”
Zhao Batian narrowed his eyes. The smile on his face turned vicious.
Yet Chu Feng showed no fear whatsoever. His expression did not change.
Oww—
Suddenly, the spirit beast let out a pained howl.
Chu Feng’s hand, which gripped its vital point, had tightened.
“I told you to release her. Can’t you understand?”
Chu Feng said, staring at Zhao Batian.
“You dare threaten me?”
Seeing that Chu Feng was unafraid, the anger on Zhao Batian’s face grew even stronger.
“It seems you don’t want this spirit beast after all.”
As Chu Feng spoke, his grip tightened further.
“Stop!”
At that moment, an angry shout rang out.
Immediately afterwards, another figure shot into the sky.
It was a young man whose features resembled Zhao Batian’s. He was undoubtedly Zhao Batian’s younger brother, Zhao Yuzhuo.
He was now the true face of the Zhao family.
It was he who had given the Zhao family the backing of the Nine Souls Sacred Clan.
Though no one knew exactly why, he had won the favour of the princess of the Nine Souls Sacred Clan. In the end, he had gained the protection of that colossal power.
The moment Zhao Yuzhuo appeared, even the overbearing Zhao Batian fell silent.
It was clear that Zhao Yuzhuo was now the one who truly held authority in the Zhao family.
“You’re not from around here, are you?”
Zhao Yuzhuo asked Chu Feng.
“What if I am, what if I’m not?”
Chu Feng countered.
“Heh…”
Zhao Yuzhuo gave a faint smile before speaking to Chu Feng.
“I advise you not to oppose me.”
“You know nothing about me, Zhao Yuzhuo.”
“You probably still don’t realise what offending my Zhao family will cost you.”
“Especially today.”
Zhao Yuzhuo said to Chu Feng.
His words were filled with threat.
Hearing this, Chu Feng let out a cold laugh.
“The Nine Souls Sacred Clan has really given you quite a lot of confidence.”
“Is it fun lording it over others with borrowed power?”
Chu Feng said.
At those words, everyone’s hearts clenched.
Originally, the onlookers had thought Chu Feng provoked the Zhao brothers because he did not know their background.
But once those words left his mouth, people realised that Chu Feng knew everything.
Then they truly could not understand.
Since he knew that Zhao Yuzhuo had the princess of the Nine Souls Sacred Clan backing him, why would he still do this?
Was he truly that fearless, or did he have some powerful existence supporting him as well?
A being so powerful that he did not fear Zhao Yuzhuo?
