For the rest of their journey, apart from the change in Fumo Xinâerâs attitude toward Chu Feng, the two of them did not encounter any other trouble.
Instead, their journey was exceptionally smooth.
Not only did they arrive at the Netherworld Ice Hall without a hitch, but they also managed to find the location where Fumo Xinâerâs big brother was imprisoned without encountering any problems.
Fumo Xinâerâs older brother had failed to rescue Little Fishy, and been thrown into a death prison by the people from the Netherworld Ice Hall.
That death prison was actually a vicious grand formation.
Those imprisoned in the death formation would slowly be refined by it.
Not only would they die in pain, but they would also be turned into cultivation resources for the Netherworld Ice Hall.
However, one thing worthy of mentioning was the fact that the death prison was not tightly guarded.
With Chu Fengâs abilities, he easily snuck inside.
Whilst there were some guards outside the death prison, there were no guards inside. The grand formation was the only thing inside.
As such, Chu Feng finally managed to meet Fumo Xinâerâs big brother.
Like Fumo Xinâer, her big brotherâs appearance would be ranked as that of a dragon among men.
In simpler terms, Fumo Xinâerâs big brother was extremely handsome. He even emitted the extraordinary air of a ruler.
Merely by looking at him, one would think that the man was extraordinary and would definitely accomplish great things in the future.
Ignoring his cultivation, merely his appearance would be enough to charm countless women.
However, in the world of cultivators, strength was the most important.
Women were all fond of powerful men. For them, oneâs appearance did not have too much appeal.
The only exception would be men that were especially handsome.
Fumo Xinâerâs big brother was evidently one such man. He was a man who could charm women with merely his appearance.
There were a lot of people imprisoned in this death prison. However, the majority of them were already dead. They had been reduced to bones with their source energies sucked dry.
Only a dozen or so people were still alive in the death prison.
They were all enduring the torment of the death prison. The great majority of them had lost consciousness. Yet, they were still letting out painful moans and screams.
However, Fumo Xinâerâs big brother was an exception.
Even though he was clearly inside the death prison and enveloped by the power of the spirit formation, he was acting like he was completely unaffected.
Not only was he sitting in a corner of the prison, but he was actually reading a book with his head lowered.
He was completely immersed in his reading, so much so that he didnât even hear Fumo Xinâer when she called for him.
This sort of situation made Fumo Xinâer extremely anxious.
After all, even if there wasnât anyone guarding the inside of the death prison, there were still people guarding the outside.
She did not dare to shout loudly at her brother because she was afraid of alarming the guards outside.
As for Chu Feng, he was curious as to exactly what sort of book Fumo Xinâerâs big brother was reading to make him so entranced.
As such, he activated his Heavenâs Eyes to carefully examine the book.
However, once he did, black lines rolled down his head.
That book was not a mysterious technique or martial skill. It was not a cultivation method either. It was only an ordinary book.
There were many different types of ordinary books.
There were stories about powerful experts and historical biographies.
In short, the majority of them were made-up stories.
That said, the sort of book that Fumo Xinâerâs big brother was reading was the most unbearable sort.
It was a book that was unsuitable for children.
That said, even for those, they would mostly be about the sentiments between a man and a woman.
But, the one that Fumo Xinâerâs big brother was reading seemed to be about the sentiments between a man and another man. It was not a story about camaraderie between brothers. Instead, it was similar to the feelings between a man and a woman.
This was the first time that Chu Feng had caught sight of such reading material.
Seeing it, he immediately felt goose bumps all over his body. He was extremely uncomfortable.
When he looked at Fumo Xinâerâs brother again and saw how handsome, confident and extraordinary he looked, a word suddenly appeared in Chu Fengâs mind - freak.
âWhat are we to do? This happens every time my brother is immersed in a book. Heâs especially concentrated when he reads books. Unless one is to shout at him loudly, he will not be able to hear you at all,â Fumo Xinâer said to Chu Feng quietly.
âAre you stupid?â
âDo you not know how to send him a voice transmission?â
Chu Feng rolled his eyes at Fumo Xinâer.
âOh, thatâs true!â
Fumo Xinâer came to a sudden realization.
Then, she did as Chu Feng had suggested.
Whilst voice transmissions could only be heard by the people they were meant for, the sound of the voices differed according to oneâs will.
As such, Fumo Xinâer must have used an extremely loud voice to call for her brother.
Because of that, Fumo Xinâerâs brother, who had been immersed in reading, actually let out a scream of alarm.
âMy dear sister, youâve finally come.â
Upon discovering that it was his little sister that came, Fumo Xinâerâs brother was immediately wild with joy, and actually started leaping around like a child. He jumped to the edge of the death prison.
âEh? Whereâs grandma? Did grandma not come?â
However, his expression soon changed to one of seriousness.
Evidently, he knew that it was useless for Fumo Xinâer to come alone.
She was incapable of rescuing him.
âGrandma said that you brought this upon yourself, and that she would not save you.â
âHowever big brother, you donât have to worry. Iâve found someone else to help you.â
âHe is also a Dragon Mark Saint-cloak World Spiritist. Heâll be able to rescue you,â Fumo Xinâer pointed to Chu Feng standing beside her.
âHim?â
âWhoâs he?â
Fumo Xinâerâs big brother gave Chu Feng a measuring glance.
Contempt and suspicion was clearly visible in his gaze.
âHeâs that person I mentioned to you before, the person from inside the Ancient Eraâs Heaven-devouring Beastâs stomach,â said Fumo Xinâer.
âSo heâs that dumbass?â
Upon learning of Chu Fengâs origin, the contempt in Fumo Xinâerâs brotherâs eyes as he looked at Chu Feng grew even more intense.
âBuzz~~~â
Right at that moment, Chu Feng opened his palm, and a body of light floated out.
Then, that body of light landed on the death prisonâs wall.
With that, the wall started to melt away. Soon an exit appeared in the wall.
Fumo Xinâerâs big brother immediately walked out of the exit.
To his surprise, heâd actually managed to walk out from the death prison so easily.
âDang! As expected of someone whoâd been devoured by an Ancient Eraâs Heaven-devouring Beast. You are truly a genius among geniuses.â
âBrother, the way I see it,l your world spirit techniques are no weaker than my grandmaâs.â
Fumo Xinâerâs big brotherâs attitude took a one-eighty degree change right away. Even the gaze with which he looked at Chu Feng had changed enormously.
Earlier, his eyes had been filled with contempt. However, tiny stars had begun flickering in his eyes afterwards.
That sort of idolizing gaze was something Chu Feng had only seen in womenâs eyes before.
Now that a man was looking at him in such a manner, he felt extremely uncomfortable.
âBrother, my name is Fumo Shaoyu. May I know how to address you?â Fumo Shaoyu said to Chu Feng with a clasped fist.
His current attitude was truly a heaven and earth difference from before.
âI am Chu Feng. It is my pleasure to meet brother Shaoyu,â Chu Feng returned the clasped fist.
âLikewise, likewise. Brother Chu Feng, these people have all suffered too.â
âIs it possible to rescue them too?â
Fumo Shaoyu pointed to the people being tortured by the spirit formation inside the death prison.
âOf course.â
âThat said, brother Shaoyu, do you know where Little Fishy is imprisoned?â asked Chu Feng.
Ever since Chu Feng had entered the Netherworld Ice Hall, he had been carefully observing his surroundings with the intention of finding the whereabouts of Little Fishy.
However, there were simply too many layers of spirit formations in there. Those spirit formations seriously affected his perception ability.
As such, he had not managed to find Little Fishyâs whereabouts.
âLittle Fishy?â
Fumo Shaoyu was evidently surprised when he heard Chu Feng asking about Little Fishy, and he looked at Fumo Xinâer inquiringly.
He was trying to get an answer from her.
âBig brother, Little Fishy could very possibly be someone Chu Feng knows.â
âThatâs why he wants to save her,â said Fumo Xinâer.
âThereâs actually such a thing?ân/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
âBut, that shouldnât be the case. Little Fishy grew up in the Heaven-devouring Realm. Brother Chu Feng is someone from the outside. How could he know Little Fishy?â
Fumo Shaoyu still felt that it was very unlikely.
âBrother Shaoyu, do you know where Little Fishy is?â Chu Feng asked again.
âWhist I do know where she is...â
âBrother Chu Feng, itâs better that you give up. Little Fishy is imprisoned in the Netherworld Ice Hallâs main hall.â
âShe is very possibly already dead now.â
âEven if she isnât dead, you will still not be able to rescue her.â
âIf you insist on going there, you will only be throwing away your life,â said Fumo Shaoyu whilst looking straight at Chu Feng.
