“Chu Feng, you must never covet the Overlord Star Demon Flower.”
“That thing is completely different from the Overlord Star Immortal Grass.”
“If the immortal grass is something that helps people, then the demon flower is something that harms them.”
Yuexian spoke these words with extreme gravity.
“Something that harms people?”
“Senior, are you serious?”
“Is the Overlord Star Demon Flower truly that terrifying?”
“Surely its power can still be used by cultivators?”
Chu Feng asked.
He felt a little unwilling. After all, his original plan had been to use the demon flower to boost his cultivation.
“Chu Feng, take my advice: do not touch the Overlord Star Demon Flower under any circumstances.”
“My bloodline power is rather special. I can sense things that you cannot.”
“The Overlord Star Demon Flower must never be used for cultivation.”
Yuexian’s expression was deadly serious.
Hearing this, Chu Feng’s face also darkened.
He murmured, “If that’s the case, it seems I’m already too late.”
“Too late?”
“Chu Feng, what do you mean?”
“You don’t mean… you’ve already done something with the demon flower, do you?”
Yuexian asked.
“Yes.”
Chu Feng did not conceal the truth. He nodded and explained everything that had happened.
“Sit down.”
After hearing the full story, Yuexian told him.
Although Chu Feng immediately obeyed and sat cross-legged, he could not help asking, “Senior, what are you going to do?”
Hum.
The moment the words left his mouth, dazzling radiance burst from Yuexian’s body once more. At the same time, a unique aura poured out of her.
That aura was sacred beyond compare, magnificent and beautiful, almost like immortal mist.
Yet the moment it appeared, it arranged itself in perfect order and formed a grand formation.
It was not a barrier formation, but a bloodline formation.
Yuexian’s unique bloodline formation.
“The Overlord Star Demon Flower must be extracted. Chu Feng, cooperate with me.”
“Let the power of my formation enter your body. I will help you remove the demon flower.”
Yuexian acted the instant she finished speaking, guiding the formation’s power into Chu Feng.
Chu Feng did not hesitate. Now that he knew how dangerous the demon flower was, he fully cooperated, trying to expel it from his soul.
Very soon, however, he truly understood how formidable the Overlord Star Demon Flower was.
It was as though it had taken root in his soul. Removing it was extraordinarily difficult. Whenever Yuexian’s formation power grew slightly stronger, Chu Feng felt heart-piercing pain.
Under these circumstances, Yuexian could only proceed with utmost caution, while Chu Feng gave his all to assist her.
Even so, they made no real progress.
In the blink of an eye, the sky that had only just brightened was once again filled with countless stars.
An entire day had passed, yet the demon flower remained firmly lodged in Chu Feng’s soul.
Despite their combined efforts, they had only managed to shift its position a tiny amount.
At this rate, forget a few more days; even several years might not be enough to extract it.
“This smell?”
Suddenly, while Chu Feng was concentrating fully on the demon flower, a strange scent drifted into his nose.
Originally, he had been completely focused on the flower.
Yet the moment he caught that scent, he could not help but be drawn to it.
It was an extremely peculiar smell, indescribable. It was not particularly fragrant, in fact it was very faint, yet it possessed an overwhelming allure that made him want to discover its origin.
But when he deliberately tried to smell it again, it had completely vanished, as though it had never existed.
“Where is the Overlord Star Demon Flower?”
The next instant, something even stranger happened.
When Chu Feng withdrew his attention and prepared to continue working with Yuexian to remove the flower, he was stunned to discover that the demon flower inside him had disappeared.
It was gone without a trace, exactly like that mysterious scent.
This was far too bizarre.
Moments ago, even with their combined efforts, they had only managed to move it slightly.
How could it suddenly vanish in the blink of an eye?
At the same time, Yuexian also withdrew her formation.
“Chu Feng, what happened?”
Before he could speak, Yuexian asked first.
“Senior, I was about to ask you the same thing. Why did the Overlord Star Demon Flower suddenly disappear?”
“Surely you don’t know either?”
Chu Feng asked.
Yuexian did not reply immediately. She fell into deep thought.
“Chu Feng, carefully check your dantian. See if there is any trace of the demon flower.”
Yuexian asked anxiously.
“I already checked. There’s nothing.”
“Inside my body, it couldn’t possibly escape my detection.”
“It has truly vanished.”
Chu Feng was certain because he had already searched thoroughly.
The demon flower was neither in his soul nor in his dantian. It had disappeared completely.
“How strange. Why would it suddenly disappear?”
“Could the Overlord Star Demon Flower have fled on its own?”
Yuexian murmured.
“The demon flower can escape by itself?”
Chu Feng was rather shocked. He had examined it closely before.
Although the Overlord Star Demon Flower was mysterious and contained incalculable power, he had sensed that it had not yet developed proper spiritual intelligence. Even if it faced danger, it would only react instinctively. Logically, it should not be incapable of escaping on its own.
“It is still possible, though the likelihood is very low.”
“Regardless of the reason, its disappearance from your body is a good thing.”
Yuexian said.
“Yes, that’s true.”
Chu Feng nodded, though he still felt the whole affair was extremely suspicious.
Afterwards, he exchanged a few more brief words with Yuexian before taking his leave.
Watching her departing figure, Chu Feng felt deep reluctance.
It was not Yuexian he was reluctant to part with, but Su Rou and Su Mei.
However, Chu Feng quickly adjusted his emotions.
Having walked this path for so long, he had grown accustomed to farewells.
No matter how unwilling or sorrowful he felt, he could adapt swiftly.
After all, he still had so much to do.
Once Yuexian left, Chu Feng set off immediately. He was heading back to the Sacred Light Heavenly River, back to the Ancestral Martial Starfield, back to the Great Thousand Upper Realm, to see his clansmen once more.
