âDonât compare yourself with the Ancient Eraâs Heaven-devouring Beasts.â
âThink about it, what is the name of this place?â
âThis is the Heaven-devouring Realm. This place... is the territory of the Ancient Eraâs Heaven-devouring Beasts,â said the old granny.
âBut, since the Ancient Eraâs Heaven-devouring Beasts are able to leave this place, we should definitely be able to do so too.â
âAt the very least thereâs a way out of here,â said Chu Feng.
However, the old granny shook her head at Chu Fengâs words. âYoung man, since youâve entered this place, you should let go of everything from the past and start your life anew here. Do not think about leaving. After all, no matter how much you long to leave it will be futile. There is no way for you to leave this place.â
As the old granny said those words, she began to walk outside with her hands behind her back.
âGrandma,â right at that moment a womanâs voice sounded from outside the palace hall.
Then a beauty appeared from the sky and landed before the entrance.
As the entrance was open, Chu Feng was able to clearly see the appearance of that woman.
Clear eyes, delicate features and perfect curves.
The woman was extremely beautiful. She was simply excellent in every aspect. She simply did not resemble a woman that should be present in the mortal world.
She wore a long white skirt. The instant she landed from the sky, her long skirt fluttered in the air and made her appear like a celestial fairy descending onto the mortal world.
No, it wasnât âappear like,â but rather a celestial fairy in the flesh.
The aloof air she emitted was most definitely not something a person of the secular world should possess.
Her looks were simply devastatingly beautiful.
Although there was no lovely delight in her beauty, it was still enough to charm the masses.
Journeying from the Lower Realms, Chu Feng had seen countless beauties. But when he saw that woman, he was still profoundly attracted to her.
A beauty of her caliber was truly rare.
Her beauty was the sort that separated itself from the secular world.
She was truly a celestial fairy-like woman.
âUgly thing, so youâve returned,â the old granny said as she looked at the beautiful woman.
âUgly thing?â
âCould this person be the hideously ugly granddaughter that granny spoke of?â Chu Feng felt extremely shocked.
âGrandma, why are you saying Iâm ugly again? The people outside all praise me as a celestial fairy,â said the woman.
âCelestial fairy? Your grandma in her youth was an actual celestial fairy.â
âAs for you, youâre extremely ugly. Make sure to stop going out too much so as to not bring shame upon me,â the old granny said to the woman with a look of contempt.
Furthermore, she didnât seem to be joking around. Rather, she was extremely serious.
Seeing that, Chu Feng realized that it wasnât the old grannyâs granddaughter that was incomparably ugly. Rather, it was the old granny who had a problem with her sense of beauty.
That said, it was clear that that woman had already grown accustomed to this sort of thing.
As such, she didnât take offense to her grandmotherâs behavior, and instead looked at Chu Feng. With a sweet smile she asked, âWhen did you wake up?â
âJust now.â
âThank you for rescuing me, young lady.â Chu Feng clasped his fist.
âDonât mention it. My name is Fumo Xinâer.â
[1. Fumo means Demon Vanquish. The same as their clan name.]
âWhatâs your name?â that Fumo Xinâer asked.
âIâm Chu Feng,â replied Chu Feng.
âChu Feng. Thatâs a decent name.â
âChu Feng, wait here for a bit. I have something that I need to talk with my grandma about.â
As Fumo Xinâer spoke, she arrived beside the old granny. She seemed to intend to take the old granny away.
However, the old granny shook off Fumo Xinâerâs hand and said, âIf thereâs something you want to say, just say it directly.â
âGrandma, this concerns my big brother.â
As Fumo Xinâer said those words, she took a glance at Chu Feng.
âIâll excuse myself.â
As Chu Feng was a sensible person, he decided to leave upon seeing that Fumo Xinâer had something private that she wanted to talk about.
âNo need.â However, before Chu Feng could leave the old granny actually grabbed him. She was indicating that he did not have to leave.
âUgly thing, if thereâs anything you want to say just say it directly,â the old granny said to Fumo Xinâer.
âGrandma, Iâve found some information about my big brother.â
âMy big brother has fallen into a trap created by people from the Netherworld Ice Hall. He needs a Dragon Mark Saint-cloak World Spiritist to break the seal. If you donât come to his aid, my big brother will be done for,â said Fumo Xinâer.
âHow many times have I told the two of you to not leave the sealed area?â
âYet the two of you insisted on refusing to listen to me. Especially your brother, itâs one thing for him to wander around, but why the heck did he decide to cause trouble for the Netherworld Ice Hall?â
âIs that not courting death?â
âNow that heâs trapped he only has himself to blame. I will not save him,â said the old granny.
âGrandma, big brother is your biological grandson. He is the successor to our Demon Vanquishing Clan. Furthermore, heâs without a son right now.â
âIf he is to die, our Demon Vanquishing Clanâs family line will come to an end,â Fumo Xinâer said worriedly.
âWith how much of a disappointment the two of you are, our Demon Vanquishing Clanâs family line has long come to an end.â
âDo not mention the matter about your brother again. If you are to mention it again, I will lock you away.â
Surprisingly, the old granny was not only not moved by her granddaughterâs pleas, but she instead became extremely angry. After saying those words, she soared into the sky and left.
âGrandma, you...â
Fumo Xinâer did not chase after her. Instead, she had a helpless look on her face.
âWhere is your big brother imprisoned?â Chu Feng stepped forward and asked.
âIn the Netherworld Ice Hallâs forbidden area,â said Fumo Xinâer.
âA Saint-cloak World Spiritist is all thatâs needed to rescue your big brother?â asked Chu Feng.
âThey must be a Dragon Mark Saint-cloak World Spiritist,â said Fumo Xingâer.
âLet us go then. I should be able to help,â said Chu Feng.
âYou?â Fumo Xinâer looked at Chu Feng with an astonished look.
âDonât mess around. Judging from your age, you should be even younger than me.â
âWeâre both people of the younger generation; how could you possibly reach Dragon Mark Saint-cloak?â Fumo Xingâer did not believe Chu Feng.
âIt would appear that I can only rely on myself,â as Fumo Xinâer spoke, she soared into the sky with the intention to leave.
Her speed was extremely fast.
Chu Feng discovered that although she was a person of the younger generation, she actually possessed an Utmost Exalted-level cultivation.
Even though she was only a rank one Utmost Exalted, her cultivation was still extremely powerful for a person of the younger generation.
Seeing her leave, Chu Feng also soared into the sky and flew after her.
He could tell that Fumo Xinâer cared deeply about her brotherâs life.
As he owed her a favor for saving his life, he would definitely help her out if he could.
âYou actually managed to catch up to me?â
Fumo Xinâer was very surprised to see that Chu Feng had actually caught up to her.
âWhilst my cultivation is inferior to yours, I am still a Dragon Mark Saint-cloak World Spiritist.â
âI possess strength on par with an Utmost Exalted,â as Chu Feng spoke, he released his spirit power.
Seeing the Dragon Mark Saint-level spirit power emitted by Chu Feng, Fumo Xinâer was so shocked that her mouth hung wide open.
âYouâre actually really a Dragon Mark Saint-cloak World Spiritist?!â
âAmazing. Itâs no wonder that Ancient Eraâs Heaven-devouring Beast went as far as to leave this Heaven-devouring Realm to devour you.â
âThis is great. That stinky brother of mine will be saved now.â Fumo Xinâer was overjoyed.
âWent as far as to leave the Heaven-devouring Realm? What do you mean by that?â
âCould it be that the Heaven-devouring Beasts need to pay some sort of price in order to leave the Heaven-devouring Realm?â
Chu Fengâs mind fixed onto the words Fumo Xinâer had spoken inadvertently.
âOf course. Theyâll have their lifespan shortened,â said Fumo Xingâer.
âLifespan shortened?â Chu Feng revealed a pensive look.
âWhy are you so concerned about this? You couldnât possibly be thinking about leaving this place, right?â asked Fumo Xinâer.
âOf course. My family and friends are all out there,â said Chu Feng.
âThatâs simple then. If you want to leave, I can help you,â said Fumo Xinâer.
âYou can help me?â Chu Fengâs expression grew complicated.
The old granny had said that it was impossible for him to leave. Thus, why would her granddaughter say that she could help him leave?
Exactly which of them was lying to him?
