“Master?”
Hearing the word “master”, the hearts of the Holy Light Clan’s experts tightened. Their exchanged glances revealed deep unease.
Whether it was the double-pupilled daoist or the Man-Eating Evil Monk, both were figures of considerable ability.
Moreover, their personalities were extremely arrogant.
For them to address someone as “master”, that person must be an extraordinary existence.
“Who is your master?”
Holy Light Yunyue asked sternly.
“Our master is someone you cannot afford to offend.”
“If you want to live, release Chu Feng immediately. Otherwise, none of the people from your Holy Light Clan will leave this place alive.”
The Man-Eating Evil Monk said.
“Arrogant fool. This old man would like to see who exactly will be unable to leave this place alive today.”
After Holy Light Xuanye finished speaking, a boundless power burst forth from his body.
The moment that power was released, heaven and earth trembled. Though it caused no substantial destruction, it made everyone shudder with cold fear. Some with weaker courage even fainted from fright.
That was simply the power of a deity. The lives of everyone present were in his hands. With a single thought, he could send all those present to their graves.
This was the current strongest figure in the Holy Light Galaxy, the clan chief of the Holy Light Clan, Holy Light Xuanye.
“The Holy Light Clan truly has impressive prestige.”
“Unfortunately, that prestige can only be flaunted within this Holy Light Galaxy.”
Yet who could have imagined that, just when everyone felt fear and did not even dare to speak, a mocking voice suddenly rang out.
Following the voice, a group of figures appeared on the distant horizon.
There were over a dozen people. Among them were towering giants over a hundred metres tall, as well as a black flood dragon covered in scales and stretching ten thousand metres long.
Of course, there were also figures of ordinary martial cultivators among them. Yet those cultivators all appeared fierce and malevolent. At a glance, they were clearly not good people.
Seeing these individuals, the crowd once again buzzed with discussion.
Among those people, there were also some familiar faces.
They all hailed from the Nine Souls Galaxy. Like the double-pupilled daoist and the Man-Eating Evil Monk, they bore infamous reputations and had committed countless evil deeds.
Yet amidst this group of villains, a different voice emerged.
It came from a young girl wearing a long green dress. Not only was her face beautiful, but her skin was flawless and delicate. Under the sunlight, it almost glowed as if radiating light.
Such a girl was simply like a little fairy. She was completely out of place among those villains.
Yet she had arrived together with that group of villains. Moreover, she was seated cross-legged atop that black flood dragon.
Most coincidentally, the voice from just now was also that of a young girl.
It must have been this girl who spoke.
“Paying respects to the master.”
Immediately afterwards, both the double-pupilled daoist and the Man-Eating Evil Monk stepped forward and performed a grand salute to the girl.
“She… is actually their master?”
Seeing this, everyone was utterly stunned.
Just moments ago, they had all imagined what the master of the double-pupilled daoist and Man-Eating Evil Monk might be like.
But no matter what they imagined, it was completely different from the girl before their eyes.
Yet if Chu Feng were standing here, he would recognise this girl.
This girl was called Song Yun.
She was someone Chu Feng had encountered by chance in the Nine Souls Galaxy, at Overlord Star Manor, when he rescued Su Rou and Su Mei.
Even Chu Feng, upon seeing Song Yun, would be greatly shocked.
He would never have expected Song Yun to come here to save him. Even less would he have imagined that such a group of villains would be in league with Song Yun.
“Young lady, may I ask where you hail from?”
Suddenly, a voice came from the Holy Light Clan’s side.
It was Holy Light Yunyue.
Holy Light Yunyue was a Supreme Elder of the Holy Light Clan. Yet when speaking to Song Yun, her tone actually carried a hint of politeness.
The reason for this was that she felt the girl before them, who could make so many villains call her master, must have extraordinary origins.
She did not fear the girl herself, but she feared that the girl might have a formidable background behind her.
“Shut your mouth. You are not qualified to speak to me.”
Yet who could have expected that Song Yun would give Holy Light Yunyue no face at all. Instead, she turned her gaze towards the Holy Light Clan Chief.
“I say, old man, you truly have great nerve. You even dare to touch my big brother Chu Feng. Do you really wish for your Holy Light Clan to vanish from this vast martial cultivation world?”
Upon hearing these words, everyone’s expressions changed. Their gazes became thoughtful.
They had not expected this girl to be so brazen. To look down on Holy Light Yunyue was one thing, but she actually held even the Holy Light Clan Chief in complete disregard.
For a time, within the vast sea of people, some exchanged secret transmissions while others whispered among themselves. The discussions were endless.
This girl clearly had significant origins. Yet she addressed Chu Feng as “big brother”. That intimate tone sparked endless speculation. People could not help but wonder what exactly her relationship with Chu Feng was.
“Interesting. Truly interesting.”
Holy Light Xuanye actually laughed instead of growing angry. Yet his laughter was inscrutable. No one could tell what he was thinking.
“Elder Yunyue, go and bring Chu Feng here.”
Holy Light Xuanye said to Holy Light Yunyue.
As soon as he spoke, Holy Light Yunyue immediately turned and headed towards the Holy Light Clan’s camp.
The surrounding onlookers also grew restless.
Could it be that the dignified Holy Light Clan Chief truly intended to release Chu Feng?
Though people also knew that the Holy Light Clan Chief viewed Chu Feng as a threat, and eliminating him was indeed unwise.
Yet he was, after all, the strongest in the Holy Light Galaxy. If he truly bowed his head, it would be a relatively humiliating matter for the Holy Light Galaxy.
Soon, Holy Light Yunyue returned. Behind her, as expected, was Chu Feng.
She had not only brought Chu Feng out, but had even deliberately healed some of his injuries and applied some disguise.
This made Chu Feng appear neatly dressed. Yet even so, his weakened demeanour still made people realise that Chu Feng’s time in the Holy Light Clan must have been extremely harsh.
“You bastards, what have you done to my big brother Chu Feng?”
Seeing Chu Feng in such a frail state, anger surged across Song Yun’s delicate face.
“You… how have you come here?”
Upon seeing Song Yun, Chu Feng indeed revealed an expression of great surprise.
But before Song Yun could speak, Holy Light Xuanye seized the opportunity to interject.
“Chu Feng, are you still pretending?”
“They are clearly your accomplices. What are you pretending for?”
“Looking at these friends of yours, this old man is no longer surprised that you would commit utterly heartless and ungrateful acts.”
“Originally, considering your extraordinary talent, this old man was even contemplating whether to spare you and give you a chance.”
“But seeing things today, the life of someone like you absolutely cannot be spared.”
Holy Light Xuanye gave Chu Feng a cold smile, then turned his gaze towards Song Yun.
“You bunch of crooked and evil people actually dare to come here demanding his release?”
“Did you not say that if I do not release Chu Feng, you will exterminate my Holy Light Clan?”
“Very well. This old man will take Chu Feng’s life right in front of you. I would like to see just how you will exterminate my Holy Light Clan!!!”
“Someone, behead this Chu Feng and display his head to the public!!”
As soon as Holy Light Xuanye spoke these words, everyone suddenly understood.
So Holy Light Xuanye had never intended to release Chu Feng. Instead, he planned to eliminate Chu Feng in public.
And upon Holy Light Xuanye’s command, the punishment elders of the Holy Light Clan pinned Chu Feng in mid-air. At the same time, one punishment elder drew a large blade, preparing to decapitate Chu Feng.
“Stop!!!”
But suddenly, a furious shout exploded from the distance.
Following the sound, not to mention the onlookers, even the members of the Holy Light Clan grew agitated.
On the distant horizon, massive floating warships were rapidly approaching through the air.
Atop those warships, enormous banners fluttered fiercely in the wind.
And what caused such intense emotional reactions in everyone were precisely those banners.
They belonged to the Nine Souls Sacred Clan!!!
