âThat fellow was too weak. I havenât had my fun yet. Iâll give them another chance to send another junior at me. As long as theyâre able to survive a single attack from me, Iâll leave this legacy formation here for them!â Situ Gouyue said.
âHow arrogant,â Shengguang Baimei remarked.
âHeâs arrogant, but he has the right to be so. Even Zhuge Feiluan wasnât a match for him. Iâm afraid thatâ¦â
Shengguang Buyu glanced at Chu Feng. He felt that not even Chu Feng would be able to withstand Situ Gouyueâs attack.
Situ Gouyue was simply too powerful.
Zhuge Feiluanâs world spiritist technique was top-notch in the entire eastern region of the world of cultivation, but he still lost by such a huge margin to Situ Gouyue.
In fact, even Shengguang Buyu wasnât able to see through the complexities in Situ Gouyueâs earlier formation. Had it not been activated, he wouldnât have known that Situ Gouyueâs white dragon formation was that powerful.
âYoung master Gouyue, Feiluan is already the strongest junior of our Zhuge Clan. If even he isnât a match for you, I fear that no one else is. We admit defeat,â the Zhuge Clanâs Clan Chief said.
âIf your Zhuge Clan isnât competent enough, you can look for someone else. Get the most talented junior world spiritist of your eastern region here. Iâve come from afar, so surely you donât expect to send me off without allowing me to have my fun, right?â Situ Gouyue asked.
âYoung master Gouyue, Feiluan is already the most talented world spiritist of our Nine Souls Galaxy,â another elder of the Zhuge Clan said.
âWhat? This fellow is the most talented world spiritist of your entire eastern region?â
Situ Gouyue was shocked.
âMy gosh. Itâs no wonder why everyone says that the eastern region is a gathering of weaklings and told me not to waste my time here. I was still harboring doubt, but it looks like thatâs indeed the case. Iâm utterly disappointed,â Situ Gouyue said disdainfully.
âElder, letâs take away Situ Qiâs legacy formation. These weaklings donât deserve to retain that legacy formation,â Situ Gouyue told the blue-cloaked woman.
His words were utterly humiliating, but not a single person from the Zhuge Clan dared to speak a word. The blue-cloaked woman also prepared to take the legacy formation away with her.
âWait a moment,â a voice suddenly echoed.
The crowd was surprised.
Those from the Situ World Spiritist Clan were just slightly intrigued, but those from the Zhuge Clan were appalled. As for Princess Xiaoxiao and the others, they were horrified.
The one who had just spoken up was Chu Feng. He took off his cloak and revealed himself.
âChu Feng? What are you doing here? Didnât you already leave our Zhuge Clan?â
The crowd from the Zhuge Clan asked.
âI left, but I came back afterward,â Chu Feng replied calmly.
He turned to the Zhuge Clanâs Clan Chief and asked, âZhuge Clanâs Clan Chief, didnât you mention that the previous clan chief has told him to protect the legacy formation at all costs? Thatâs why you didnât allow me to enter even if you have to break your promise to Master Yin Ren. Whatâs with your change of attitude then? Why are you giving up so easily?â
ââ¦â
The Zhuge Clanâs Clan chief could only hang his head in shame. The other members of the Zhuge Clan sighed deeply as well.
They had done so much earlier on to stop Chu Feng from entering the legacy formation, but they ended up giving up so easily now. Their behavior of taking advantage of the weak and pandering to the strong was indeed shameful.
âWho are you?â Situ Gouyue asked.
âAncestral Martial Galaxy, Chu Feng,â Chu Feng replied.
âAncestral Martial Galaxy. This means that youâre from the eastern region too?â Situ Gouyue asked.
âThatâs right,â Chu Feng replied.
âWhat do you intend to do by standing out? Do you wish to challenge me?â Situ Gouyue asked.
âThatâs right,â Chu Feng replied.
Situ Gouyueâs interest was piqued. He was just about to say something when the blue-cloaked woman suddenly spoke up.
âYoung master Gouyue, the Ancestral Martial Galaxy has already fallen into decline. It isnât even on par with the current Nine Souls Galaxy. He wonât be a match for you. Thereâs no need to waste your time with the likes of him,â the blue-cloaked woman said.
Situ Gouyueâs interest immediately faded upon hearing those words. He looked at Chu Feng in contempt.
âYouâre just a small fry? To think that even the likes of you dare to challenge me; you must be unaware of who I am. Scram. Get as far away as you can. Donât sully my eyes with your presence.â
Situ Gouyue was just about to leave the palace when Chu Feng spoke up once more.
âYou can admit defeat if you dare not face me.â
Situ Gouyueâs footsteps immediately stalled to a halt. He released a chilling aura that made it clear that he was angered.
âWhat did you just say? Why donât you try repeating that once more?â Situ Gouyue asked with chilling eyes.
Not even the elders of the Zhuge Clan dared to look at Situ Gouyue, and the faces of their juniors paled. Yet, Chu Feng looked at him with a fearless smile.
âI said that you can just admit defeat if you dare not face me. Thereâs no need to come up with such meaningless excuses,â Chu Feng replied.
âInteresting. I wonder who gave an insignificant nobody like you such confidence,â Situ Gouyue asked.
âNaturally, my confidence comes from my strength,â Chu Feng replied.
âYou sure are confident. Is this what they mean when they say that the ignorant are fearless? Very well. I have plenty of time on hand anyway. Since youâre willing to go this far, Iâll play with you. Just donât blame me if I accidentally exert too much force and take your life, alright?â Situ Gouyue said.
His intention was clear. He was willing to accept Chu Fengâs challenge, but he wouldnât hesitate to kill Chu Feng in the battle. Judging from his earlier means, it was definitely within his means to pull that off.
Even so, Chu Feng stood unfazed.
âTry it then,â Chu Feng said as he began heading toward the palace in the sky.
âDonât go, Chu Feng.â
Someone suddenly grabbed Chu Fengâs sleeves. It was Princess Xiaoxiao. She had taken off her cloak to stop him.
âChu Feng, thereâs no need to do this. We can think of another solution,â Princess Xiaoxiao advised.
She thought that Chu Feng had stepped forward because he didnât want those from the Situ World Spiritist Clan to take away the legacy formation. However, those from the Situ World Spiritist Clan were obviously no pushovers.
No matter how anxious Chu Feng was to save Xian Miaomiao, he shouldnât leap straight into the face of danger.
âChu Feng, forget it. The Situ World Spiritist Clan isnât to be trifled with. Theyâre here for the Zhuge Clan; thereâs no need for us to get involved.â
âYoung hero Chu Feng, I donât think that you know the Situ World Spiritist Clan well. Itâll be best not to get involved with them.â
Daoist Niantian and Shengguang Baimei sent voice transmissions to Chu Feng too. They were trying to persuade Chu Feng to step down.
âBrother Chu Feng, you mustnât cross hands with him. You mustnâtâ¦â
Another feeble voice sounded from the side. It was from Zhuge Feiluan. His face was completely disfigured, looking more like a heap of flesh and blood. It wouldnât be surprising if he were to suddenly drop dead at this moment.
âBrother Feiluan, Princess Xiaoxiao, havenât you heard what they said earlier on? They arenât just looking down on the Zhuge Clan. Theyâre looking down on our entire eastern region! Itâs no longer just the Zhuge Clan or Nine Souls Galaxyâs business anymore. Itâs the business of our entire eastern region.â
Chu Feng shook off Princess Xiaoxiaoâs arm and headed toward the palace. He stopped right in front of the entrance and looked at Situ Gouyue.
âYoung master of the Situ World Spiritist Clan, as long as you dare to come in, Iâll show the prowess of our eastern region.â
With that, he stepped into the palace.
