âShengguang Xuanye, arenât you overestimating yourself here? Do you think that I would need the help of others to deal with a mere Holy Light Clan? Iâm more than sufficient!â Chu Feng sneered coldly.
âAudacious, Chu Feng!â
Shengguang Xuanye didnât say a word, but the others from the Holy Light Clan couldnât tolerate seeing a junior speak to their clan chief in such a manner. All sorts of criticisms poured out from them; some released their oppressive might while others prepared their martial skills.
Yet, no one actually dared to make a move.
It looked like they were just all bark and no bite. It felt ludicrous to see this coming from the Holy Light Clan.
âI, Chu Feng, am not scared of being maligned, but Iâm not so foolish as to admit to things that Iâve not done. So, Iâd like to clarify in advance. Princess Xiaoxiao is my friend, so I canât possibly do that kind of despicable thing to her. Princess Xiaoxiao is indeed injured, but she didnât inflict it on herself. It was Shengguang Yunyueâs doing.â
Chu Feng said as he pointed a finger at Shengguang Yunyue.
âShengguang Yunyue? It was Shengguang Yunyue who disfigured Princess Xiaoxiaoâs appearance?â
All sorts of discussion poured forth.
âChu Feng, you dare besmirch the reputation of one of our grand elders?â
It went without saying that the Holy Light Clan wouldnât admit to it. They began pointing their fingers at Chu Feng once more.
However, Chu Feng ignored them and continued speaking.
âShengguang Yunyue did it because she was furious that Princess Xiaoxiao refused to marry Shengguang Yu.
âHowever, the worst one of all is still Shengguang Xuanye. He probably intended to marry Princess Xiaoxiao into the Holy Light Clan at the start due to her talent catching his eye. However, when he learned that Princess Xiaoxiao is opposed to the Holy Light Clan, he began revealing his despicable side. He chose to have Princess Xiaoxiao marry the trash of the Holy Light Clan, Shengguang Jiahao.
âIt goes without saying that his intention is to humiliate Princess Xiaoxiao, but this is only his first move. His true goal is to take Long Xiaoxiaoâs talent for the Holy Light Clanâs use. Shengguang Xuanye has already prepared a vile formation to turn her into a cultivation resource,â Chu Feng spoke the truth aloud.
âThis...â
âUtter nonsense!â
âPutting aside the fact that such a formation is unheard of, just your claim that this is all done to humiliate Long Xiaoxiao doesnât work out! The Holy Light Clan would never do something like this!â
âIndeed! Given the Holy Light Clanâs standing, do they even need to resort to this?â
Chu Fengâs words had incurred the suspicion of some, but most still voiced their doubt toward his words.
However, this was only to be expected. They were in the Holy Light Clanâs home base at the moment, and these were the people who had always been living under the Holy Light Clanâs shadow. It was unthinkable for them to doubt the Holy Light Clan in public.
So, Chu Feng ignored their words and turned to the Dragon Clanâs Clan Chief.
âDragon Clanâs Clan Chief, donât you think that you should say something for your daughter?â
âYoung friend Chu Feng, I...â
The Dragon Clanâs Clan Chief was put in a spot.
He intended to spectate the commotion by the side and fawn on whoever that won the battle, but he never thought that Chu Feng would make him pick a side right now.
He fell into a dilemma. Choosing the wrong side here would really spell the end of him and the Dragon Clan.
âDragon Clanâs Clan Chief, you shouldnât forget that you arenât just the clan chief of the Dragon Clan. Youâre also Long Xiaoxiaoâs father. Itâs one thing for you to turn a blind eye to your daughterâs humiliation, but are you so gutless as to dare not even speak a word of justice for her?â Chu Feng asked once more.
Beneath his calm voice was a hint of coldness that no one but the Dragon Clanâs Clan Chief could hear.
The Dragon Clanâs Clan Chief shuddered. He knew that it was impossible for him to back down.
âEveryone, what young friend Chu Feng said is the truth. My daughter, Xiaoxiao, has always been fond of young friend Chu Feng. I believe that most of you should have already heard of this. So, itâs impossible that young friend Chu Feng would force himself on Xiaoxiao. Thereâs no need for him to do so. In fact, it has always been young friend Chu Feng who was rejecting our Xiaoxiao.
âXiaoxiao has told me that she harbors deep feelings for young friend Chu Feng, and she wouldnât marry anyone else other than him. Itâs due to this that she refuses to marry Shengguang Yu. As for what happened afterward...
âHaa... I only have my own incompetence to blame. Iâm not worthy of being Xiaoxiaoâs father.â
The Dragon Clanâs Clan Chief had made his decision. He had chosen to stand with Chu Feng.
âSss...â
âThis...â
The entire world seemed to have fallen silent for an instant after the Dragon Clanâs Clan Chief said those words. As one of the powerhouses of the Holy Light Clan, his words still carried substantial weight.
âWhat insolent words. It looks like thereâs no need for your Dragon Clan to continue existing on the face of this world!â
After a moment of silence, many amongst the Holy Light Clan began voicing their threats toward him.
âDo you see that? Thatâs the Holy Light Clan. If they dare to threaten others in public, I trust that you can imagine how they are like normally,â Chu Feng scoffed.
Those words plunged many into silence.
Would they not know what kind of power the Holy Light Clan was?
Most major powers chose to keep their silence, but there were still some powers who chose to continue insulting Chu Feng. They were doing this because of the women whom Chu Feng had sullied.
âI would also like to clarify things regarding those women. I, Chu Feng, am not a gentleman, but Iâm no sexual deviant either. I wouldnât stoop so low to do something like this. Itâs the Holy Light Clan whoâs trying to frame me here.
âHowever, Iâll reassure you that Iâll redress your grievances from the Holy Light Clan,â Chu Feng said to those women who were still sobbing in front of Shengguang Xuanye,
âYou trash, Chu Feng! You donât even dare to admit to what youâve done!â
âYou were the one who did it that day! I remember you even if Iâm reduced to ashes!â
âYou despicable man, Chu Feng! How dare you do something like that to my daughter! Youâre less than a beast!â
The insults directed toward Chu Feng became even louder after Chu Fengâs explanation.
âThis really is a bummer. Those people wonât accept his explanation no matter how young friend Chu Feng tries to explain himself!â
The Monstrous Herd Templeâs sectmaster clenched his fists tightly.
He wasnât the only one who was feeling anxious for Chu Feng. There were quite a few people who were associated with Chu Feng here, and just watching the situation made them feel jittery.
On the other hand, Chu Feng remained perfectly calm. There wasnât even the slightest fluctuation in his emotions.
âIt looks like you donât believe my words, but Iâm not obliged to convince you of my emotions. Itâs your own foolishness that caused you to become pawns of the Holy Light Clan. If you wish to insist that Iâm the culprit, so be it. It doesnât hurt me in the slightest,â Chu Feng replied disdainfully.
He felt that these people were too pitiful.
âChu Feng, you wretched monster! Iâll skin you alive!â
âLord Xuanye, you have to redress our grievances!â
Chu Fengâs insult made those women burst into tears. Their indignant appearance really made it seem like Chu Feng was some kind of horrendous villain.
Seeing that they were still going to harp on it, Chu Fengâs face darkened.
âShut your mouths!â
A furious bellow shook the world.
âIâve been patient with you thus far in view of your plight, but it looks like you donât know how to give it a rest. Continue with this farce, and Iâll obliterate your entire sect!â
Chu Fengâs voice was filled with killing intent, and those words really shut the mouths of those who were insulting him.
They were afraid.
This was someone who dared to stand against the Holy Light Clan. He even had a grand elder of the Holy Light Clan beneath his feet. How could they not be afraid?
They knew that it was not beyond Chu Feng to obliterate their sects, and it made their bodies turn cold.
They finally realized that the person standing before them was no junior; it was a little demon lord!
