The master of Overlord Star Manor first exchanged some pleasantries, then reiterated the risks of entering that forbidden cultivation area, as well as the reward for capturing the thief.
However, he did not immediately lead everyone into the forbidden cultivation area.
“Today, several distinguished guests have also arrived at my Overlord Star Manor.”
“Let me introduce them to everyone.”
As soon as the master of Overlord Star Manor finished speaking, two figures rose from the square below and walked through the air towards him.
They were two young men. One was handsome with fair skin, clearly the playboy type at first glance.
The other had dark skin and an ordinary face, the kind that would not attract a second look in a crowd.
Yet the moment these two appeared, the crowd erupted into an uproar.
Men cheered, women screamed.
Discussions about them immediately filled the air.
“Brother Chu Feng, those two are the genius disciples of Soul-Locking Sect that I mentioned to you earlier. Both are also the sect master’s personal disciples.”
“That pretty boy is called Hun Yong. He is ninety-nine years old and possesses seventh-grade Sovereign cultivation.”
“The ordinary-looking one is even stronger. His name is Hun Lei. He is ninety-eight years old and is an eighth-grade Sovereign realm martial cultivator.”
“These two have extraordinary talent. Everyone believes that within three hundred years, their cultivation will surpass their master’s and they will become the strongest in the current Soul-Locking Sect.”
Song Yun explained to Chu Feng.
In fact, while Song Yun was telling Chu Feng, the master of Overlord Star Manor was also introducing the two men’s identities, saying almost exactly the same as Song Yun.
In reality, these two were famous figures in this world. Apart from Chu Feng, very few people did not know who they were.
Even without an introduction, everyone already knew their identities.
Their talent was simply too outstanding. Many even felt that a power like Soul-Locking Sect did not deserve to have geniuses of this calibre.
They were regarded as the strongest geniuses in the history of Soul-Locking Sect.
“In addition to the two young friends Hun Yong and Hun Lei from Soul-Locking Sect,”
“Today we are also fortunate to have invited another distinguished guest.”
The master of Overlord Star Manor continued.
After he spoke, another figure stepped through the air and approached him.
This was also a young man, equally handsome, but unlike Hun Yong who looked like an obvious playboy.
This youth was refined and gentle, appearing like a scholar, giving people a very comfortable feeling.
When he appeared, the crowd once again erupted into huge waves of excitement.
People did not recognise him, but they recognised the token hanging at his waist.
Upon seeing the token at his waist, even a trace of gravity emerged in Chu Feng’s eyes.
On the token hanging from the waist of this refined and gentle scholar-like youth were four large characters.
Holy Light Clan.
He was a member of the Holy Light Clan.
What was the Holy Light Clan? It was the current ruler of Holy Light Galaxy River.
Chu Feng had not expected to encounter a member of the Holy Light Clan here.
“Let me introduce him.”
“This is the young master of the Holy Light Clan, the rulers of our neighbouring galaxy river, Holy Light Galaxy River. His name is Holy Light Jin’an.”
The master of Overlord Star Manor introduced him to the crowd.
When his words fell, warm welcoming cheers rang out below.
Although many people from Nine Souls Galaxy River generally looked down on those from Holy Light Galaxy River,
thinking that Holy Light Galaxy River was weaker than Nine Souls Galaxy River and thus feeling superior,
the Holy Light Clan was an exception. After all, they were the rulers of Holy Light Galaxy River.
Even in Nine Souls Galaxy River where experts were as numerous as trees in a forest, there were not many powers that could truly surpass the Holy Light Clan.
That was why Holy Light Jin’an’s appearance earned the respect of these people.
The sensation caused by Holy Light Jin’an even surpassed that of Hun Yong and Hun Lei.
“It seems having a powerful backer is still very useful.”
Watching Holy Light Jin’an receive everyone’s welcome, the corners of Chu Feng’s mouth lifted into a faint smile.
As someone also from Holy Light Galaxy River, seeing Holy Light Jin’an receive such treatment made Chu Feng feel rather good.
After the brief introductions, the master of Overlord Star Manor finally led everyone towards the location of the forbidden cultivation area.
The forbidden cultivation area was an independent world, said to have existed since ancient times.
At present, the thief was trapped deep inside an immortal cave within this forbidden cultivation area.
However, just after Chu Feng entered the forbidden cultivation area and before he could proceed deeper, someone blocked his path.
It was people from Soul-Locking Sect.
Not only were the disciples who had previously beaten Song Yun present,
several more Soul-Locking Sect disciples with higher cultivation had joined them from behind.
But in truth, it was not just them. Chu Feng noticed that Hun Yong and Hun Lei were standing in the distant sky.
Although the two of them did not come to trouble Chu Feng and Song Yun, they were watching intently like tigers eyeing prey.
Their stance clearly showed they were backing those Soul-Locking Sect disciples.
If the disciples surrounding Chu Feng could deal with him, that would be fine.
But if these disciples were no match for Chu Feng, Hun Yong and Hun Lei would definitely not stand by idly. They would take action against Chu Feng.
“One person should bear the consequences of their own actions. Come at me if you have any issues.”
However, before those people could approach, Song Yun, that girl, actually stepped in front of Chu Feng.
“Oh, where did this little beauty come from?”
“I say, kid, you’re pretty lucky to have such a pretty girl standing up for you.”
“But weren’t you acting all tough earlier? How come you’re hiding behind a woman now?”
The Soul-Locking Sect disciple who had attacked Chu Feng earlier stared lustfully at Song Yun while looking at Chu Feng with ill intent.
“Are you blind?”
“The person you hit earlier was me.”
“He only fought back because he was saving me.”
Song Yun said.
“It was you?”
Hearing this, those Soul-Locking Sect disciples were quite surprised.
“Everyone, come and judge! These Soul-Locking Sect disciples not only bully girls, they still won’t let it go. Is Soul-Locking Sect really such a shameless power?”
Song Yun shouted loudly.
This did indeed attract a lot of attention.
Although people were discussing amongst themselves, no one dared to step forward and help.
Even though no one came forward, the Soul-Locking Sect disciple still felt he was losing face.
“Stinking girl, stop talking nonsense. I never hit women.”
He shouted at Song Yun, but he was actually trying to justify himself to the crowd.
“What, you do it but won’t admit it?”
Yet Song Yun refused to let it go.
Song Yun’s voice grew louder, and more and more people gathered to watch.
The faces of the disciples who had previously beaten Song Yun grew increasingly ugly. For a moment, they did not know what to do.
“Stinking girl, shut your mouth.”
Suddenly, an angry shout rang out, and at the same time, fourth-grade Sovereign pressure was released.
Another Soul-Locking Sect disciple had made a move.
He had not been present when Song Yun was beaten earlier. He was a helper called in by those disciples.
He first used his pressure to bind Song Yun, then turned his hostile gaze towards Chu Feng.
“Kid, I’m here for you today.”
“Didn’t you say you don’t take Soul-Locking Sect seriously?”
“Then let me see what you’re capable of.”
With those words, the Soul-Locking Sect disciple’s pressure swept out, heading straight for Chu Feng.
But his pressure was not simply meant to restrain Chu Feng.
If this pressure struck Chu Feng, the consequences would be serious.
Boom!
Suddenly, a loud explosion sounded.
In the space between that Soul-Locking Sect disciple and Chu Feng, a hurricane swept out in all directions.
The Soul-Locking Sect disciple’s pressure had been neutralised.
At this moment, Chu Feng noticed a woman standing in front of him.
The woman had her back to Chu Feng, so he could not see her face.
But behind the woman, Song Yun, who had been bound, was now freed and threw herself into the woman’s arms, hugging her tightly.
“Sister, you’re finally here. These Soul-Locking Sect disciples are so awful.”
As Song Yun spoke, she actually started crying, sounding extremely aggrieved.
The woman first comforted Song Yun, then said,
“Yun’er, don’t cry. Didn’t I tell you?”
“No matter who it is, if anyone bullies you, I will make sure they meet a horrible end.”
