Chu Feng and the others had left the Nine Souls Sacred Clan and were currently aboard a warship, traveling through an ancient teleportation formation. It was the escape route that Chu Feng had designed in advance.
His opponents were simply too strong that he had to ensure that they were able to leave the vicinity of the Nine Souls Sacred Clan as soon as possible.
On the warship, Princess Xiaoxiao was currently kneeling in front of him with a tear-stained face.
âChu Feng, Iâm begging you. Please save my father and my family! I know that Iâve done you wrong, and Iâm willing to do anything to make amends as long as you help me. You can take my life if you want to!â
Princess Xiaoxiao had witnessed with her own eyes how Sima Xiangtu defeated her father and imprisoned him. She knew deep well that the Nine Souls Sacred Clan was in peril, and her clan members would be massacred at this rate.
However, she was powerless to reverse the situation.
Sima Xiangtuâs tremendous strength was already difficult to deal with, but that Pill Dao Immortal Sect was like an insurmountable mountain crushing over the Nine Souls Galaxy, not allowing them to catch a breather at all.
With even the Godwish Grandmother and the Sagacious Grandmaster falling in defeat, it was possible that there was no one else in the Nine Souls Galaxy who could curb Sima Xiangtu anymore.
Of everyone she knew, the only one who might just be able to pull it off was Chu Feng.
Chu Feng had the backing of many experts, such as the Godwish Grandmother and the Holy Light Clan.
However, before Chu Feng could answer her, Shengguang Baimai had already lashed out.
âYou wench, do you have no sense of shame? How dare you ask young hero Chu Feng for a favor? In the first place, your Nine Souls Sacred Clan was the one who trapped young hero Chu Fengâs friend inside your soul! Why in the world should he help you?
âIn my view, your Nine Souls Sacred Clan deserves to die. The calamity youâre facing right now might just be divine retribution!â Shengguang Baimei spat.
âElder Baimei, thatâs enough.â
Chu Feng stopped Shengguang Baimei with a wave of his hand. He then stepped forward and personally helped Princess Xiaoxiao up.
âI have an irreconcilable grudge with Sima Xiangtu. No matter what it takes, Iâll kill him with my own hands. As for you, I only hope that youâll fully cooperate with me if Iâm able to find a way to save Miaomiao. Iâll also find a way to cure your illness,â Chu Feng said.
Princess Xiaoxiao was stunned. She couldnât believe what she was hearing.
Chu Feng was telling her that he would turn a blind eye to her previous betrayal.
âChu Feng, Iâ¦â
Princess Xiaoxiao began sobbing even harder than before with guilt written all over her face.
âNow is not the time to cry. Crying wonât solve anything,â Chu Feng said.
He had already taken another look at Princess Xiaoxiaoâs soul. While Xian Miaomiao was still unconscious inside Princess Xiaoxiaoâs soul, she wasnât in any danger for the time being.
He could also understand why Princess Xiaoxiao didnât help him to suppress Sima Xiangtu back then. She didnât know Sima Xiangtuâs true face back then, and she could tell that he was prioritizing Xian Miaomiaoâs survival over hers. It was only natural for her to side with Sima Xiangtu for her own survival.
âPrincess Xiaoxiao, you have been by Sima Xiangtuâs side for a while now. Do you know what heâs scheming?â Chu Feng asked.
âI really didnât know that Yin Ren was plotting something like this. However, your master did tell me some things,â Princess Xiaoxiao said.
âMy master?â Chu Feng asked.
âEven though Yin Ren has captured your master, he intentionally allowed your master to see what he has been doing all this while. Due to that, your master has some clues as to what Yin Ren is up to,â Princess Xiaoxiao said.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
She began sharing what the Ox-nosed Old Daoist had told her.
Sima Xiangtuâs goal didnât come as a surprise to the crowd. In fact, it was the same as what Chu Feng had previously guessed.
Sima Xiangtu was hoping to use the cultivators of the Nine Souls Galaxy to concoct something, just that it was no easy feat to pull it off. That was why he had to collude with the Pill Dao Immortal Sect and borrow their treasure, the Immortal Cauldron.
In exchange for that, Sima Xiangtu promised the Pill Dao Immortal Sect to supply them with a type of energy known as Soul Fog.
âAre the people from the Pill Dao Immortal Sect fools? Soul Fog is a legendary item! The Nine Souls Sacred Clan wasnât able to find it for so many years, so how could Sima Xiangtu possibly secure it for them?â the Godwish Grandmother exclaimed in disbelief.
âWhat is Soul Fog?â Chu Feng asked.
âItâs legendary energy that exists in the Nine Souls Galaxy. Back then, when countless powers were fighting over supremacy over this galaxy, the Nine Souls Sacred Clan was able to rise to the top thanks to the power of Soul Fog.
âItâs just that Soul Fog is hidden in an obscure location in the galaxy, making it extremely difficult to acquire. In fact, even the current Nine Souls Sacred Clan has no way of finding and acquiring Soul Fog anymore.
âToo many years have passed since the era of Nine Souls Sacred Clanâs founder, such that Soul Fog has become nothing more than a legend. No one knows for sure whether it has truly existed before or not,â the Lady of Dao Sea explained.
âIsnât there a member of the Nine Souls Sacred Clan here? She should know better than anyone whether Soul Fog really exists or not!â Shengguang Baimei said as he turned to look at Princess Xiaoxiao.
The others did the same too.
âBased on the historical records of our Nine Souls Sacred Clan, Soul Fog did exist for a period of time. Itâs a green aura thatâs hidden in the midst of our Nine Souls Galaxy, and it harnesses incredible power. All beings will tremble in its presence,â Princess Xiaoxiao said.
âDoes it still exist now?â Chu Feng asked.
âOur Nine Souls Sacred Clan does have a recorded method to find Soul Fog, but it doesnât work anymore. In fact, the inability to acquire Soul Fog is one of the key reasons why our Nine Souls Sacred Clan has gradually fallen into decline.
âIn order to revitalize our Nine Souls Sacred Clan, our ancestors have tried all sorts of ways to find Soul Fog, but it was in vain. Eventually, the conclusion we came to was that Soul Fog did exist for a period of time, but our ancestors might have already depleted it dry,â Princess Xiaoxiao said.
âAbout what Sima Xiangtu is concocting using the cultivators of the Nine Souls Galaxy, did my master say what will happen if he succeeds?â Chu Feng asked.
âYour master said that if Yin Ren succeeds, his cultivation will advance by leaps and bounds. Itâs possible that even those from the Pill Dao Immortal Sect wonât be able to curb him anymore,â Princess Xiaoxiao said.
The crowd could hardly stay calm after hearing those words.
To reach an extent where even the powerful Pill Dao Immortal Sect wouldnât be able to curb, just how powerful would Sima Xiangtu be?
