The formation operated smoothly, and soon an hour had passed.
However, Sacred Light Yunyue and the various elders did not immediately open the door and enter.
Instead, they stood neatly on both sides of the hall entrance, waiting.
“Greetings, Clan Leader.”
As a figure approached, many powerhouses of the Sacred Light Clan, including Sacred Light Yunyue, uniformly performed a grand salute.
The person they were waiting for was none other than this Clan Leader, Sacred Light Xuanye.
“Have you not gone in yet?”
Sacred Light Xuanye saw the tightly closed door and had already guessed the outcome.
“Please have the Clan Leader personally open the door.”
The elders replied.
Sacred Light Xuanye did not blame these elders; instead, he wore a smiling expression.
Although they had said verbally that they could not guarantee Sacred Light Yu’s illness would be fully cured.
In reality, they had great confidence.
In their view, as long as they found a medicinal primer and combined it with the power of this formation, even if it was not completely successful, it would at most fail to heal entirely, but it would definitely have some effect.
Moreover, now they had such an outstanding medicinal primer in Chu Feng.
“Open it.”
Sacred Light Xuanye waved his hand, signalling to open the door.
He wore a smiling expression and was full of anticipation.
With a medicinal primer, his grandson’s illness could be cured.
And Chu Feng’s talent far exceeded the requirements for a medicinal primer. In his view, his grandson might very well inherit Chu Feng’s talent through this formation.
At this moment, inside that door was not just a healthy Sacred Light Yu.
It was very likely a genius who would become the strongest of the younger generation in the Sacred Light Clan.
!!!!
However, when the hall door opened, everyone present felt their hearts tighten.
Inside the hall door, there was no Sacred Light Yu as they had imagined, nor was there Chu Feng, who should have been reduced to a dried corpse after having his essence and soul extracted.
There was only a large expanse of bloodstains…
“Where are they?”
“Where are they?”
“Where has Yu’er gone?”
Sacred Light Xuanye became anxious. The smile that had filled his face moments ago turned into angry questioning.
“We, we did not see Young Master Yu come out?”
The elders also panicked; they were at a loss regarding this situation.
“Clan Leader, this is bad…”
At this time, Sacred Light Yunyue had already entered the hall to examine the blood on the ground.
But this result made her heart sink.
“Could this be Yu’er’s blood?”
Sacred Light Xuanye hurriedly asked, his expression growing increasingly ugly.
“It is indeed Young Master Sacred Light Yu’s blood.”
Sacred Light Yunyue said.
“Damn it.”
Hearing this, Sacred Light Xuanye also rushed into the hall to examine the bloodstains.
After confirming that it was indeed Sacred Light Yu’s blood, his expression became exceptionally grim.
With such an amount of blood, even if Sacred Light Yu was not dead, it indicated he had suffered cruel torment.
Hum—
And at that moment, within this grand hall, a formation actually emerged.
As soon as the formation appeared, it transformed into two figures.
Those figures were Chu Feng and Sacred Light Yu.
Although Sacred Light Yu’s face was intact, his body was already covered with bloody holes; his torso had more holes than a beehive.
Chu Feng, on the other hand, was completely unharmed. He was holding the unconscious Sacred Light Yu as if carrying a chick.
Moreover, he was looking towards the direction of the hall door with a smiling expression.
“The Sacred Light Clan is truly despicable. I fought for the Heavenly River, yet not only did you show no gratitude, you even wanted my life.”
“But you have underestimated me, Chu Feng, far too much.”
“You wanted to use my life to save Sacred Light Yu, but now his life is in my hands.”
“I warn you.”
“If you want him to live, you had best behave yourselves.”
After Chu Feng finished speaking, the formation dissipated, and the two figures vanished with it.
“Useless trash!!!”
Suddenly, Sacred Light Xuanye let out a furious roar. This roar caused the entire forbidden ground to tremble.
At the same time, he employed his methods to detect Chu Feng’s whereabouts.
But he found nothing!!!
Chu Feng had indeed escaped, and to where, they had no idea.
This made Sacred Light Xuanye even more enraged; his eyes were practically shooting flames.
After tormenting Sacred Light Yu, Chu Feng had left behind this formation.
In his view, this was not a warning, but provocation, a provocation he could not tolerate!!!
“Clan Leader, it is this subordinate’s incompetence. Please forgive us.”
For a moment, all the elders present, except Sacred Light Yunyue, knelt down. They were all terrified.
They knew how much Sacred Light Xuanye doted on Sacred Light Yu.
Now Sacred Light Yu had suffered such torment and been taken by Chu Feng.
This made them feel that they might be facing great disaster.
At this time, it was Sacred Light Yunyue who spoke.
“Clan Leader, this forbidden ground has only one exit, and I have been guarding it the entire time. The door was never opened; he should not have been able to leave.”
“Yet he did escape, right under our noses.”
“He must have used extraordinary methods, or perhaps…”
“Clan Leader, could we have provoked…”
Sacred Light Yunyue did not finish her words, but a trace of fear actually appeared in her eyes.
“Provoked what?”
“Are you trying to say that we might have provoked someone we cannot afford to offend?”
Sacred Light Xuanye’s sword-like brows furrowed as he sternly countered.
“This subordinate dares not be certain; it is just that Chu Feng’s departure is truly suspicious…”
When Sacred Light Yunyue spoke, she was trembling and hesitant.
Although she was a Supreme Elder of the Sacred Light Clan, she was also extremely afraid of this Clan Leader.
“Foolish. If he truly had such a background, the one fleeing would not be him, but us.”
Sacred Light Xuanye said with great certainty.
He did not believe Chu Feng had any terrifying background. If he did, he would not have been able to act so ruthlessly towards Chu Feng.
“What the Clan Leader says is reasonable. It is this subordinate who is foolish.”
Sacred Light Yunyue also felt that Sacred Light Xuanye’s words made more sense, so she asked, “Clan Leader, what should we do now?”
Sacred Light Xuanye did not answer directly. He closed his eyes and pondered for a while before suddenly opening them.
“Announce to the world that this Chu Feng attempted to steal the Sacred Light Bloodline Water, was discovered, killed members of our clan, and abducted Yu’er. His crimes are unforgivable; kill on sight without mercy.”
“If anyone can capture Chu Feng alive or kill him, they will receive a great reward from our clan!!!”
Sacred Light Xuanye said through gritted teeth.
“Clan Leader, if we do this, I fear for Young Master Yu…”
Sacred Light Yunyue was very worried; she feared that angering Chu Feng would cost Sacred Light Yu his life.
“What are you thinking?”
“Could it be that our grand Sacred Light Clan should be threatened by a junior?”
“Do you want this old man to become that junior’s puppet?”
“As for Sacred Light Yu, being captured by his own medicinal primer is not only due to his lack of ability, but also a disgrace to our Sacred Light Clan.”
“If that Chu Feng truly becomes enraged and kills him in a fit of mutual destruction, then he deserves it.”
“Do as I say. Send people to pursue and kill Chu Feng with all our might. We want to see him alive or his corpse.”
“Additionally, investigate Chu Feng and everyone related to him. Anyone with an extraordinary relationship to Chu Feng must not be spared.”
Sacred Light Xuanye said.
“As you command.”
Sacred Light Yunyue and the various elders responded in unison.
Yet their gazes were all somewhat complicated.
Sacred Light Xuanye would rather sacrifice Sacred Light Yu than compromise with Chu Feng.
Even though Chu Feng had not made any demands, merely telling them to behave, he, fearing control by Chu Feng, still chose to sacrifice Sacred Light Yu.
Such ruthless behaviour was not the first time they had witnessed it.
Yet they were well aware of how much Sacred Light Xuanye doted on Sacred Light Yu.
To cure Sacred Light Yu’s illness, Sacred Light Xuanye had expended tremendous effort to prepare this formation and carried it with him, just so he could activate it immediately upon finding an opportunity to treat Sacred Light Yu.
And this was precisely what shocked everyone so much.
They could never have imagined that, for the sake of face and authority, to avoid being controlled by others, even if it might endanger Sacred Light Yu’s life, he would still decide to completely fall out with Chu Feng.
This was a display of selfishness, selfish to the point of refusing any threat or control from anyone.
Even sacrificing a family member was something he would not hesitate to do.
And this was the king of the Sacred Light Heavenly River.
