"So you're saying
The moment Baili Xuankong posed that question, everyone in the hall fell silent. In that instant, the vast hall became so quiet that you could hear the beating of their hearts.
"He can. We truly can now," Refining Immortal and the other Dragon-marked Spirit World Masters nodded in unison.
"WOOOAH!!!!"
The moment those words left their mouths, the previously calm hall erupted in a thunderous cheer. Every single person was overwhelmed with excitement. Some even had tears welling up in their eyes, and a few were openly crying.
Because of everything that had happened before, they had all realized just how terrifying the Dark Hall was. They had believed that if the Dark Hall came for them, they would all die a miserable death.
But now, with this grand formation, they would be safe. How could they not be overwhelmed with joy?
In the midst of their excitement,
"Hey, what are you doing? Chu Feng is still weak. Put him down right now!"
However, upon seeing this scene, Snow-Haired Immortal barked in fury. In her agitation, she snatched Chu Feng straight out of Jiang Wushang and the others' hands.
But even after seizing Chu Feng back, she still shot Jiang Wushang, Zhang Tianyi, and the others a vicious glare and said:
"Have you all lost your minds? Chu Feng just barely woke up. If you knock him unconscious again, I'll kill every last one of you."
Snow-Haired Immortal's eyes were bloodshot, her killing intent palpable. Zhang Tianyi and Jiang Wushang froze on the spot, completely flustered and at a loss for what to do.
Meanwhile, Refining Immortal and the others couldn't help but stifle their laughter. Before, when Chu Feng had been secluding himself, Snow-Haired Immortal had made a fuss and tried to give him a hard time. Yet the moment she saw him injured, she became more anxious than anyone else—an absolute sharp tongue with a soft heart.
No, that wasn't quite right. She was, in truth, a ruthless, iron-hearted demon who showed no mercy.
But in front of Chu Feng, she had truly become soft-hearted.
"Elder Snow-Haired, I'm fine," Chu Feng said with an awkward smile.
"You're really fine?" Snow-Haired Immortal asked, still somewhat suspicious.
"Really." As he spoke, Chu Feng swallowed a healing pill. Then, with a flick of his will, he activated the supreme secret technique—the Vermilion Bird Revival Technique. The moment the technique took effect, Chu Feng's complexion began recovering at a visible pace.
In the blink of an eye, Chu Feng not only looked exactly as he had before, but his vitality was fully restored, as if nothing had ever happened.
"Chu Feng, what kind of technique is that? It's absolutely incredible!" Snow-Haired Immortal's eyes widened in astonishment.
Though everyone else was equally stunned by Chu Feng's ability, their faces were all alight with elation. Of course they were overjoyed that Chu Feng had made a full recovery.
"Assembly Master, it's bad!" Just then, an elder from the Azure Wood Sacred Assembly came rushing in, panic written all over his face.
"What's happened? What's all this commotion? Have you forgotten basic decorum?" Baili Xuankong had been in an excellent mood just moments ago, and the elder's frantic outburst put him in a foul temper immediately.
"The Heavenly Dao Palace's army has entered the Azure Wood Domain. They're advancing on Azure Wood Mountain as we speak," the elder reported.
"Hmph. So they actually came. They've got some nerve." The moment he heard this,
Refining Immortal, Boundless Immortal, Snow-Haired Immortal,
None of them were surprised by the news. Rather, it was as though they had long since prepared themselves for battle.
"The Heavenly Dao Palace's army? Did something happen during my seclusion?" Chu Feng couldn't help but press.
Back in the Moonlit Labyrinth, he had been so consumed by rage that he had publicly executed
But even if the Heavenly Dao Palace wanted retribution, the people here shouldn't have been acting as though they had received advance warning and were fully prepared. Chu Feng knew something must have happened while he was in seclusion.
"Chu Feng, the Heavenly Dao Palace has been utterly shameless. Since they dare to come, we must teach them a lesson," Lord Lianghua said. "Otherwise, they might actually start believing they're the rulers of the Martial Holy Land."
And then, Chu Feng finally learned the full story of what had transpired...
As it turned out, news of Chu Feng slaying Kuang Kui had spread far and wide, growing more sensational with each retelling. For the sake of their reputation, the Heavenly Dao Palace naturally refused to let the matter rest.
So the Heavenly Dao Palace issued a proclamation to the entire world, giving Chu Feng one month to present himself at their doorstep and provide an explanation.
Otherwise, the Heavenly Dao Palace would lead a massive army to raze Azure Wood Mountain to the ground.
The moment this announcement was made, the entire Martial Holy Land erupted.
