Chapter 1894: One Word Like Thunder (2)

The next day, Xian Miaomiao and Princess Lingyue brought Chu Feng to the most prestigious hall of the Ancient Elves — the Primordial Hall.

The Primordial Hall, as the name implied, was a hall that had existed since ancient times.

Setting aside its splendor and grandeur, the sheer heritage alone made it incomparable to any other hall within the Elven Kingdom.

It was one of the few halls that had been perfectly preserved since the Primordial Era, and as a result, the entire structure radiated a rich aura of antiquity. Anyone who set foot within would instinctively stand in reverence — not for anything else, but for the hall itself.

At this moment, quite a few figures had already gathered inside, and nearly every one of them was a major figure of immense standing on the Martial Continent.

The Elven King, the Four Grand Elders, the Eight Guardians…

The most powerful fighting force of the Elven Kingdom — and currently the most fearsome fighting force on the entire Martial Continent — had all assembled within this Primordial Hall.

The first thing Chu Feng's eyes were drawn to upon entering was the Elven King, seated in the place of highest honor.

The moment he laid eyes on the man, even Chu Feng felt a jolt run through him — every hair on his body standing on end in an instant.

Powerful. Although the Elven King had the appearance of a middle-aged man — not only handsome in countenance but also warm and benevolent in expression — his kingly aura pierced straight into one's heart. A single glance was enough to convey just how formidable a being he was.

Moreover, with a crown upon his head, a golden silk cloak draped over his shoulders, and light green armor adorning his body, his regal bearing was on full display.

The current Martial Continent had no emperor, but even in eras that did, those so-called emperors were not necessarily the strongest under heaven.

For apart from the Three Houses, Four Clans, and Nine Powers, as well as the multitude of demon beasts, there existed the supreme authority that was the Elven Kingdom.

It was said that among the Five Emperors, the only one who had truly defeated the Elven King was Emperor Qing — Qing Xuantian.

This spoke volumes about the Elven Kingdom's strength. Perhaps the man before Chu Feng's eyes was, in fact, the most powerful being on the Martial Continent today.

Yet this most powerful being did not carry himself with the haughty air of someone above the world. When he saw Chu Feng enter, while the other Ancient Elves all looked on with surprise, the Elven King — the most exalted figure present — simply nodded and offered Chu Feng a warm smile. It was a small gesture, but it brought Chu Feng a genuine sense of warmth.

They said dragons beget dragons, phoenixes beget phoenixes, and mice' children know how to dig holes. Chu Feng truly understood that now.

No wonder Princess Lingyue and Xian Miaomiao were so warm and approachable — they had an excellent example to follow.

Besides the Elven King, the four aged Grand Elders and the eight Guardians of the Elven Kingdom did not look particularly kindly upon Chu Feng. Especially one among them — a man with a scar across his left eye — whose gaze, the moment it landed on Chu Feng, radiated undisguised disgust without the slightest attempt to conceal it.

"That one with the problem with his left eye is Xian Yuyin's father. And that fellow sitting down there is Xian Yuyin himself," Xian Miaomiao secretly transmitted to Chu Feng, pointing him out.

Following Xian Miaomiao's direction, Chu Feng spotted a young figure seated among the lower chairs. That was Xian Yuyin. But the look of loathing in Xian Yuyin's eyes upon seeing Chu Feng was even more intense than his father's — and beneath that loathing, there was something else: jealousy.

In that moment, Chu Feng laughed inwardly. He could understand the source of Xian Yuyin's jealousy.

He didn't need to think hard to figure it out. Princess Xian Miaomiao and Princess Lingyue were surely the two most saintly figures of the Elven Kingdom — dream women for countless men. Now, both princesses had appeared alongside Chu Feng, and Xian Miaomiao was even whispering privately to him in such an intimate manner. It would have been strange if Xian Yuyin weren't jealous.

As for the unusual looks directed his way, Chu Feng paid them no mind. Those who stood above others mostly looked down on those beneath them — it was true among humans, and it was even more true for the Ancient Elves who carried noble bloodlines passed down from the Primordial Era, especially when these particular Elves were among the most prominent figures in the entire Elven Kingdom.

What Chu Feng felt in this moment was the presence of true power. Perhaps this was, without question, the most mighty fighting force the Martial Continent had to offer.
