After flinging the woman to the ground, Chu Feng did not trouble her further.
Yet the woman scrambled away in panic, tumbling several times before she finally managed to rise into the air and swiftly vanish into the distant horizon.
Her wretched, fleeing figure greatly satisfied the people of the Xingyun Holy Land.
“Lord Chu Feng, thank you for your assistance.”
At that moment, the Holy Lord of the Xingyun Holy Land led the elders and elite disciples forward to express their gratitude together.
“Lord?”
“My dear seniors, please do not address this junior in such a way.”
“Just call me Chu Feng.”
Chu Feng was not accustomed to being called this by these people.
Especially since some of them were acquaintances, such as the Eight Immortals of Xingyun, who had helped him in the past. Chu Feng truly respected them as seniors. How could he allow the roles to reverse simply because his strength had grown?
Upon hearing Chu Feng’s words, the people of the Xingyun Holy Land immediately changed how they addressed him.
Though they did indeed begin calling him Chu Feng, the tone of reverence in their voices did not alter.
Chu Feng knew that his relationship with these people might never return to what it once was.
But they harboured no ill will. It was merely the change one makes when facing someone stronger than oneself.
Afterwards, Chu Feng chatted with them for a while.
They also inquired about why the Chu Heavenly Clan had suddenly vanished.
Naturally, Chu Feng did not reveal the truth. He simply told them not to worry.
During the casual conversation, Chu Feng learned why the people of the Xingyun Holy Land had come here.
It turned out that not only the Xingyun Holy Land had arrived, but all the top forces within the Great Thousand Upper Realm had come as well.
In addition to them, many forces from other parts of the Ancestral Martial Starfield had also arrived, all invited by the Ancestral Martial Dragon City.
The remnant they could open had been granted to them through a key provided by the Ancestral Martial Dragon City.
In plain terms, this was a benefit the Ancestral Martial Dragon City was bestowing upon the various forces of the Ancestral Martial Starfield.
They were distributing cultivation resources that originally belonged to them.
The only difference was that instead of directly handing over the resources, they gave the method and let the forces obtain them themselves.
After understanding the situation, Chu Feng prepared to take his leave.
After all, he had urgent matters now and could not chat with them for too long.
“Young Hero Chu Feng, please wait a moment.”
However, seeing Chu Feng about to depart, the Holy Lord of the Xingyun Holy Land hurriedly stopped him.
“Holy Lord Senior, is there something else?”
Chu Feng asked.
“I have nothing further, but I fear you might encounter trouble.”
“That Feiyu Heavenly Sect is not a force from our Ancestral Martial Starfield. They are honoured guests invited by the Ancestral Martial Dragon City.”
“I do not know much about the Feiyu Heavenly Sect, only that they have multiple Supreme realm experts presiding over it. Their strength is in no way inferior to the Ancestral Martial Dragon City.”
“Earlier, I observed the people of the Feiyu Heavenly Sect exchanging words with those from the Ancestral Martial Dragon City. The degree of courtesy shown by the Dragon City exceeded that of mere friends.”
“I know Young Hero Chu Feng shares a connection with the Lord of the Dragon City.”
“Although the ones you injured just now were merely disciples of the Feiyu Heavenly Sect.”
“From my observations, the Feiyu Heavenly Sect is by no means benevolent. Moreover, they are currently within the Ancestral Martial Dragon City. If you are heading there, you must exercise great caution.”
The Holy Lord of the Xingyun Holy Land said to Chu Feng.
Yet upon hearing this, Chu Feng merely smiled faintly.
“Holy Lord Senior, rest assured. I will return safely.”
After saying this, Chu Feng rose into the air and flew swiftly towards the direction of the Ancestral Martial Dragon City.
However, after Chu Feng left, the people of the Xingyun Holy Land did not immediately enter the remnant. Instead, they gazed at the horizon where he had disappeared, lost in thought.
“Holy Lord, can you sense Young Hero Chu Feng’s current cultivation?”
The Eight Immortals of Xingyun asked.
The Holy Lord of the Xingyun Holy Land shook his head.
“Young Hero Chu Feng’s cultivation has already far surpassed mine. I cannot sense it at all.”
“But I feel that compared to before, he has advanced further.”
The Holy Lord said.
“While we find breaking through even a single realm exceedingly difficult, he manages tremendous progress each time we meet. This is what a true genius is, is it not?”
Many elders among the Eight Immortals of Xingyun sighed deeply with emotion.
After all, quite a few of them had seen Chu Feng in his earlier days.
Back then, Chu Feng was still very weak. But now, he had long become an existence that all forces in the entire Ancestral Martial Starfield treated with awe.
In front of Chu Feng, their Xingyun Holy Land was utterly insignificant.
“Yun’er, all of you must work hard.”
“After all, back then, you were once mentioned alongside Chu Feng as geniuses of the Great Thousand Upper Realm.”
Suddenly, the Eight Immortals of Xingyun said to Xia Yun’er and the others.
Xia Yun’er, whose delicate face was already solemn as she gazed thoughtfully in the direction Chu Feng had left, grew even more complex in emotion upon hearing this.
“In this lifetime, I will never be able to catch up to him again, will I?”
Xia Yun’er sighed softly in her heart.
When she had first met Chu Feng, in her view, neither his status nor position could compare to hers.
At that time, in the eyes of the various forces in the Great Thousand Upper Realm, Chu Feng was merely a junior.
No matter how she thought about it then, she could never have imagined that the gap in status between her and Chu Feng would become so vast.
Originally, she had once harboured some expectations towards Chu Feng.
But now, she had buried those expectations deep within her heart.
She no longer even had the courage to voice those words.
Because in her eyes, although she remained the Holy Maiden of the Xingyun Holy Land and still enjoyed great prestige in the Great Thousand Upper Realm.
The current her was now completely unworthy of Chu Feng.
Whether in strength or status, the difference between them had become worlds apart.
