There were reasons behind why Shengguang Xuanye spat out blood.
The Holy Light Clan, as the overlord of the Holy Light Galaxy, enjoyed a lofty standing comparable to the gods. No one dared to defy their will, and those who did would eventually come to dearly regret their decisions.
But on this very day, the blood-related grandson of their clan chief was tortured into an inhuman state by Chu Feng, yet the Holy Light Clan was forced to let him go.
Even though everyone knew that the one the Holy Light Clan was afraid of was the Nine Souls Sacred Clan and not Chu Feng, such an incident would indubitably undermine the authority and prestige of the Holy Light Clan.
People would doubt their right to rule. People would laugh at them behind their backs.
Without a doubt, the Holy Light Clan had been utterly embarrassed today.
...
Meanwhile, Chu Feng, after being rescued by the Nine Souls Sacred Clan, swiftly left the Storm Realm.
Through their conversation, Chu Feng learned that the reason why Xian Miaomiao came all the way here was because someone had relayed the news that Chu Feng was in danger to her. However, she had no idea who was the one who relayed the news to her.
Despite not knowing the authenticity of the news, she still led her men over right away. She couldnât even tolerate the possibility of Chu Feng getting killed, thus even if it could possibly be a wasted trip, she wasnât willing to take her chances.
And this was all in spite of Xian Miaomiao having a lot of things on her hand at the moment. Thus, after a short conversation with Chu Feng, she had no choice but to part with him.
Watching as the war chariots and warships of the Nine Souls Sacred Clan departed in the distance, Chu Feng felt a lot of different emotions inside. Had it not been for Xian Miaomiaoâs timely arrival, he could have very well lost his life by now.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
âThat older sister is so pretty. Big brother Chu Feng, Iâm certain that she likes you.â
All of a sudden, a sweet voice sounded right beside Chu Feng. Chu Feng turned his head over and saw that it was Song Yun.
When Chu Feng was brought onboard one of the warships of the Nine Souls Sacred Clan, Song Yun had tagged along as well. As for the villains she brought over, she had already dismissed them, and they had gone their own ways.
âLass, did someone inform you too?â Chu Feng asked curiously.
âIndeed. A mysterious person told me that you were in danger, but I have no idea who that person is,â Song Yun replied.
âAre there any distinctive characteristics or traits to that mysterious person?â Chu Feng asked.
He was very curious who was the one helping him behind his back.
It was one thing that the mysterious person knew that he was acquainted with Xiao Miaomiao, but that person actually even looked for Song Yun too. This was a little hard for him to believe.
Putting aside the fact that the mysterious man was aware that he was acquainted with Song Yun, how did that person know that Song Yun had the ability to save him?
One must know that Chu Feng would have never known that Song Yun actually held such great influence had he not seen it with his own eyes.
However, Song Yunâs response was the same as Xian Miaomiaoâs. There were no definite traits that the mysterious person had that Chu Feng could use to trace the person down.
âRight, lass. How did you come to know those people?â Chu Feng asked.
His impression of Song Yun was actually rather decent, so it came as a huge surprise that she was acquainted with these villains. In his view, there was nothing good for Song Yun to be acquainted with these people...
... unless Song Yunâs background was somewhat related to that too.
âI canât possibly remain idle after learning that youâre in trouble. However, what I can do alone is limited due to my lacking strength, and I know that I wonât be able to save you alone. Thus, I could only spend huge amounts of money to hire mercenaries to aid me.
âI had to fork out huge sums of money in order to get these fellows on my side. You must compensate me for that!â Song Yun grumbled.
âAre you sure that they are just mercenaries?â Chu Feng asked doubtfully.
âOf course! How else could I possibly mobilize them? Have you forgotten how I tossed each of them a Cosmos Sack before they left? The Cosmos Sack contains their payment,â Song Yun explained.
It was indeed true that Song Yun had passed each of them a Cosmos Sack after dismissing them; Chu Feng had seen this with his own eyes. It was just that he couldnât tell for sure what was in those Cosmos Sacks.
âYou sure are gutsy. How did you find the courage to deal with those people?â Chu Feng asked.
âAiya! Even though they do a lot of evil, they still have some principles that they stand by. As long as we communicate our terms properly, theyâll still do what is asked of them properly,â Song Yun explained.
Chu Feng couldnât really pick any fault with those words.
As the saying went, âknow a person but not his heartâ. Those villains had a reputation for notoriety, but ultimately, Chu Feng didnât know them in person so he couldnât say for sure whether they were really evil or not. It was meaningless for him to comment on the character of a person whom he didnât know in person.
âYou really are gutsy.â
Chu Fengâs words sounded a bit like a lecture, but there was a smile on his lips when he spoke. After all, he was deeply thankful to Song Yun for her help.
Regardless of whether Song Yun was telling the truth or not, there was no denying that she had put her life on the line for him by daring to stand against the Holy Light Clan. The sentiments behind her actions had truly touched Chu Fengâs heart.
It was one thing to risk oneâs life for a loved one, but it was another thing to do it for a stranger whom one had only met once.
âHow could I ever thank you for your help?â Chu Feng asked.
âItâs very simple. Just go on a trip with me,â Song Yun replied.
âWhere?â Chu Feng asked.
âTo the Nine Souls Heavenly River. Help me do something, and weâll be equals afterward,â Song Yun replied.
âNow?â
âYes, right now.â
âCan it be delayed for a while first?â
In truth, Chu Feng was intending to challenge the Hidden Dragon Martial Sectâs formation right after this so as to save Zi Ling as soon as possible. Thus, he was hoping to delay this matter for a while.
âDelayed? Iâm afraid that it would be inconvenient for me. I need you to come with me right now, because...â
Speaking up to this point, Song Yun suddenly lowered her head.
âWhat is it that youâre in such a hurry for? Can you tell me about it? âChu Feng asked.
âBig brother Chu Feng, Iâm dying,â Song Yun replied.
