Sacred Valley…
The attire of this elder was that of the Sacred Valley.
Back in the White Day Star River, Chu Feng had encountered an old man and a young person whose identities were mysterious but whose strength was terrifying. That old man and young person were also from the Sacred Valley.
“I do indeed favour him greatly, but as for taking a disciple, that is out of the question.”
“This old man simply cherishes talent.”
“Brother Buyu, do you not think this boy’s future holds great promise?”
Nian Tian Daoist asked the elder.
“He does indeed have great potential, but this boy has now offended the Sacred Light Clan, so he faces imminent disaster.”
“You would not just sit by and do nothing, would you?”
The elder looked at Nian Tian Daoist with a beaming smile.
Yet in response, Nian Tian Daoist shook his head. “His life or death has nothing to do with this old man.”
“You old thing, you just said you thought highly of him and that his future is promising.”
“Now you say his life or death is none of your concern. Truly heartless.”
The elder looked at Nian Tian Daoist with contempt, but he was not particularly surprised. It was mostly just teasing.
He understood Nian Tian Daoist well. Turning a blind eye to someone’s death was very much in line with his character.
…
Chu Feng returned to the Storm World.
When he arrived back in the Storm World, more than half of the people who had originally gathered here still had not left.
The news that Chu Lingxi and Gu Mingyuan had been captured had long since spread like wildfire.
After secretly investigating, Chu Feng basically confirmed that Chu Lingxi and Gu Mingyuan had indeed been taken.
Chu Feng had originally wanted to ask the Divine Deer for help to see if she could rescue Chu Lingxi and Gu Mingyuan.
But unexpectedly, this time the Divine Deer gave no response to Chu Feng at all.
With no other choice, Chu Feng could only take the risk.
He first hid Sacred Light Yu and set up a killing formation.
When the time came, the killing formation would activate, and Sacred Light Yu would be slain by it.
Then, Chu Feng spread the word that in one day, he would appear at the Storm Battle Dragon Platform.
The reason for spreading the message was to have more people bear witness, forcing the Sacred Light Clan to honour their promise and release Gu Mingyuan and Chu Lingxi.
When this news spread, it immediately caused a huge uproar. Everyone who heard it was utterly shocked.
Originally, people had held little hope that Chu Feng would show himself. Some even thought the Sacred Light Clan was delusional for using family and friends to force him to appear.
In this vast martial cultivation world, anyone from a clan had numerous relatives.
Yet how many would exchange their own life for the sake of relatives?
Thus, when the news that Chu Feng intended to appear spread.
Although people were surprised, they were also sceptical, unsure if the news was true or false.
However, on the appointed day, people still flocked to the agreed location, wanting to confirm whether Chu Feng would actually show up.
Among those who came were many faces familiar to Chu Feng.
People from the All Demons Sacred Palace, Cloud Sky Immortal Sect, and Yu Heavenly Clan had all arrived.
But notably, Long Xiaoxiao and the people from the Long Clan were entirely absent.
Of course, people from the Sacred Light Clan had also come.
Although the Sacred Light Clan Leader, Sacred Light Xuanye, did not appear.
The Supreme Elder of the Sacred Light Clan, Sacred Light Yunyue, had led a large contingent of the clan’s forces.
And standing beside Sacred Light Yunyue were two people.
They were none other than Gu Mingyuan and Chu Lingxi.
It was worth noting, however, that neither Gu Mingyuan nor Chu Lingxi was injured, nor were they bound.
It was clear that although the Sacred Light Clan had captured them, they had not harmed them.
But their expressions were very poor.
They naturally did not want Chu Feng to trade his life for theirs.
“Chu Feng, we have come.”
“Where are you?”
When the appointed time arrived, Sacred Light Yunyue called out loudly.
“Release them.”
As a voice rang out, Chu Feng’s figure emerged from the distance.
Hum—
The moment Chu Feng appeared, a vast pressure immediately sealed off this area of heaven and earth. It was Sacred Light Yunyue’s pressure.
But Sacred Light Yunyue only sealed the area and did not harm Chu Feng.
The people present, upon seeing Chu Feng, were extremely surprised.
“I never thought Chu Feng would actually come.”
“Is his relationship with that mother and daughter so close?”
“Knowing he would die by coming here, yet still using his own life to save them?”
Seeing Chu Feng act with such loyalty and righteousness, the Sacred Light Clan’s slander against him naturally fell apart without attack.
But the Sacred Light Clan clearly did not care about public opinion.
They were the rulers. Within this Sacred Light Heavenly River, who dared defy them?
Even if others disliked them, they could only endure it. At least no one dared speak out.
“Chu Feng, I never expected you to really dare come.”
Sacred Light Yunyue asked.
Chu Feng gave a faint smile and said just two words: “Release them.”
And then, Sacred Light Yunyue actually did release Chu Lingxi and Gu Mingyuan.
Although Chu Lingxi and Gu Mingyuan regained their freedom, they did not leave. Instead, they ran straight to Chu Feng’s side.
“Chu Feng, I am sorry. It is all my fault.”
“I feared we would implicate the clan, so I wanted to take the clansmen and seek refuge together.”
“But who would have thought that the clansmen of my Wanzhou Ancient Clan were so afraid of the Sacred Light Clan that a traitor emerged and voluntarily revealed our hiding place.”
Gu Mingyuan said to Chu Feng with great guilt.
Chu Lingxi, meanwhile, was crying uncontrollably. She felt that Chu Feng might not survive, after all, the opponents were the rulers of the Sacred Light Heavenly River.
And all this was because of her…
“Senior, it is fine. It was I who implicated you both.”
After saying this to Gu Mingyuan, Chu Feng turned to Chu Lingxi.
“Alright, stop crying. I will be fine.”
“Did you not say you are my elder sister? What kind of elder sister cries so much?”
Chu Feng smiled as he patted Chu Lingxi’s head, then looked towards the Lord of the All Demons Sacred Palace in the crowd.
“Senior, could you do me a favour?”
Chu Feng asked the Lord of the All Demons Sacred Palace.
“Young friend, what is it?”
The Lord asked.
“Please take them away from here.”
Chu Feng pointed at Chu Lingxi and Gu Mingyuan.
The reason he asked the Lord of the All Demons Sacred Palace to take them away was that Chu Feng feared the Sacred Light Clan would go back on their word and recapture them.
In short, Chu Feng wanted the Lord to protect Chu Lingxi and Gu Mingyuan.
“Very well.”
The Lord of the All Demons Sacred Palace agreed readily and took Chu Lingxi and Gu Mingyuan away.
In truth, the Lord was a loyal and righteous person himself. He very much wanted to help Chu Feng but did not dare confront the Sacred Light Clan, as he had the entire All Demons Sacred Palace behind him.
But at least protecting Chu Lingxi and Gu Mingyuan, though troublesome, was something he was willing to do.
After Chu Lingxi and Gu Mingyuan were taken away by the Lord, Chu Feng voluntarily walked towards the Sacred Light Clan’s army.
However, Sacred Light Yunyue did not kill Chu Feng.
Instead, she prepared to take him away.
“Lord Yunyue, how do you intend to deal with Chu Feng?”
The Lord of the All Demons Sacred Palace asked.
“He killed members of our clan and tried to seize our treasures.”
“Naturally, it is a capital offence.”
After saying this, Sacred Light Yunyue took Chu Feng and the Sacred Light Clan army and left the area.
After they departed, many sighs echoed through the vast crowd.
The Sacred Light Heavenly River had finally produced a genius like Chu Feng.
Yet unexpectedly, he was about to fall so soon…
Although they were neither kin nor close to Chu Feng, they still felt great regret.
If Chu Feng died, it would be a loss for the Heavenly River.
