“Chu Feng?!”
“Big Brother Chu Feng?!”
The moment Yue Xian fixed her gaze on Chu Feng, Su Rou and Su Mei also saw him.
Compared to Yue Xian’s pure shock, the emotions of Su Rou and Su Mei were far more intense.
Su Rou still managed to keep some composure, only wearing a joyful smile, whereas Su Mei was so excited she shouted and jumped, displaying her delight without any restraint.
“It’s really Big Brother Chu Feng!”
“Haha, it’s really him, really him!”
“I told you my senses wouldn’t deceive me. How could they? That’s his aura. I’ve known it since I was a teenager. How could I be wrong?”
Su Mei was beside herself with excitement.
Feeling Su Mei’s emotions, a faint smile also appeared on Yue Xian’s face.
After all, she could tell that the Chu Feng before her had come to save them.
“Chu Feng, you’re courting death!!!”
Seeing Chu Feng brutally mutilate his fellow disciples right in front of him, Hun Lei snapped out of his brief stupor and unleashed his fury.
Swish!
But before he could strike, Chu Feng had already appeared before him like a phantom.
With a puff, the long sword in Chu Feng’s hand pierced straight through Hun Lei’s dantian.
“You!!!”
Hun Lei stared at the Chu Feng before him, eyes filled with disbelief.
Chu Feng’s cultivation had actually reached Ninth Grade Venerable, the same as his own.
Yet earlier, even after using multiple methods, Chu Feng had only managed to reach Eighth Grade Venerable.
It was precisely because his cultivation was lower that Chu Feng had been scared into fleeing, even panicking so much that he ran into the Demon Den.
How, in the blink of an eye, had Chu Feng’s cultivation caught up to his?
“This time, I won’t give you another chance.”
Chu Feng looked at Hun Lei, then abruptly swung his sword.
Swish!
As blood sprayed, Hun Lei’s body was cleaved in two.
This was not merely crippled cultivation. He had lost all signs of life.
He was dead!!!
Seeing Hun Lei perish, the remaining Soul Locking Sect disciples did not dare linger. They turned and fled at once.
“Originally, some of you could have lived.”
“But now, none of you will.”
“If there is a next life, remember this: some people are not for you to touch.”
“Touch them, and the price is death!!!”
Once Chu Feng finished speaking, the Soul Locking Sect disciples had vanished from sight.
Swish, swish, swish!
Chu Feng swung his sword fiercely several times.
A few sword qi shot out.
No screams were heard.
Yet everyone knew those Soul Locking Sect disciples were all dead.
Their lingering auras remained, but their lives had been extinguished the instant the sword qi caught up to them.
When people turned back to Chu Feng, their eyes were filled with terror.
They were not only afraid of how effortlessly he had slaughtered the Soul Locking Sect disciples.
They were terrified that after entering the Demon Den, not only had Chu Feng survived, his cultivation had actually advanced.
Lightning markings, Lightning Armour, and Heaven-bestowed Divine Power still wrapped around his body.
Yet his cultivation was no longer Eighth Grade Venerable. It was Ninth Grade Venerable.
This meant Chu Feng’s true cultivation was no longer Fifth Grade Venerable, but Sixth Grade Venerable.
Chu Feng had broken through.
And the breakthrough had occurred inside the Demon Den.
The Demon Den was a place of mortal peril, yet he had managed to advance his cultivation there.
People felt that the methods Chu Feng possessed were beyond imagination.
But Chu Feng’s display had not only frightened those present.
Outside the forbidden training ground, someone else was terrified.
The master of Overlord Star Manor.
“Damn it, that girl actually has such a helper.”
The manor master already knew everything happening inside the Immortal Cave.
“Manor Master, what do we do now?”
“How can we stop that witch?”
The elders of Overlord Star Manor inside the grand hall had also learned of the situation. They were all extremely panicked.
“We can’t stop her. No one can stop her now.”
“Go, immediately gather every treasure in the manor. We must evacuate at once.”
The master of Overlord Star Manor ordered.
“Evacuate? Are we abandoning Overlord Star Manor?”
“Manor Master, is that witch really that terrifying? Her cultivation is still weak. Even if she fully refines the Overlord Star Immortal Grass, she shouldn’t be a match for you, right?”
Many elders asked.
“You don’t understand. She is no ordinary person, no ordinary martial cultivator.”
“If the power of the Overlord Star Immortal Grass truly becomes hers, her cultivation will surge tremendously.”
“Given her personality, she will definitely seek revenge on our manor. Overlord Star Manor will be completely erased from this world.”
The manor master declared.
Seeing the grave expression on his face, the elders realised the situation had spiralled far beyond their expectations.
Thus, they sprang into action. They had to flee Overlord Star Manor before Yue Xian emerged.
…
At this moment, inside the Immortal Cave of the forbidden training ground, people had no idea that Overlord Star Manor was preparing a full retreat.
Chu Feng looked at Yue Xian. Yue Xian looked at Chu Feng.
Neither spoke, and no one else dared to.
For a time, the atmosphere inside the Immortal Cave felt rather strange.
“Everyone, are you planning to keep watching the show?”
Suddenly, a voice broke the odd silence.
It was Sheng Guang Jin’an.
With his words, the crowd snapped out of their daze and hurriedly turned to leave.
The bolder ones bid farewell to Chu Feng. The timid ones fled without a word.
In the blink of an eye, only Chu Feng and Yue Xian remained.
“So it really was you helping me.”
“How have you progressed so quickly?”
Yue Xian finally spoke.
She gazed at Chu Feng, her words filled with emotion.
When they had parted long ago, Chu Feng had still been weak.
She could never have imagined that the one to save her in her moment of crisis would be him.
“I’ve improved a little. Maybe I’ve just been lucky.”
Chu Feng smiled, then asked, “Senior, are Little Rou and Little Mei alright?”
“They are fine.”
“But right now, I need to do something. Can you wait a moment?”
“I will let you all reunite properly afterwards.”
Yue Xian asked.
“Please go ahead, Senior!!!”
Chu Feng understood what Yue Xian needed to do.
With that, Yue Xian sat cross-legged once more and resumed refining the power of the Overlord Star Immortal Grass!!!
