The ruins within the Eight Desolations Mass Grave were none other than Master Kaihong's legacy.
And
Before long after this news spread, the various powers led by the Sword-Wielding Immortal Sect, the Buddha Light Heavenly Temple, the
Once these two pieces of news spread, they immediately caused an enormous uproar throughout the
If Chu Feng had previously been only somewhat famous, then now he had undeniably become one of the most attention-grabbing figures in the Hundred Refinements Ordinary Realm.
After all, a new title had been placed atop Chu Feng's head — that of inheritor of Master Kaihong.
Many people believed that Chu Feng would very likely surpass Young Master Liming and become the most dazzling genius in the Hundred Refinements Ordinary Realm.
In truth, it was not only Chu Feng — Wang Qiang and Zhao Hong also attracted tremendous attention, with people believing that the two of them were far from ordinary, backed by powerful backgrounds.
Some even began investigating the identities of Wang Qiang, Zhao Hong, and Chu Feng.
However, while all this discussion raged, the three central figures of these events — Chu Feng and his companions — were completely unaware of any of it.
After leaving the Eight Desolations Mass Grave that day, the three of them had headed toward the location of the Drought Demon's Death Water Pool.
The Drought Demon's Death Water Pool was a forbidden zone. Due to its peculiar environment, it was already sparsely populated — one could even say that living beings were rarely seen there.
In truth, it was not just the Drought Demon's Death Pool that was deserted — the vast region surrounding it was similarly devoid of people, a forgotten land entirely.
Had the Hundred Refinements Arena not happened to be built in that area, chances were no one would ever set foot there throughout the entire year.
As a result, whenever something significant happened in the Hundred Refinements Ordinary Realm, no one would disseminate the news in that direction.
And since Chu Feng and the others were traveling in precisely that direction, they naturally heard nothing of it.
"Husband, husband — I just thought of something."
Suddenly, a voice as gentle as water and as sweet as honey came from Zhao Hong.
The moment this voice rang out, Chu Feng's expression shifted, and he turned his gaze toward Zhao Hong.
When he saw the shy, bashful look on Zhao Hong's face, the corner of his mouth tugged into a sympathetic smile, and he cast his sympathetic gaze toward Wang Qiang.
Sure enough, Wang Qiang's face had already turned a sickly shade of green. Cold sweat beaded across his body as he asked Zhao Hong with great caution: "W-Wifey… what scheme are you cooking up this time? C-C-Can you please stop picking on me?"
Really, this couldn't be blamed on Wang Qiang. Along the way, Zhao Hong had tormented him no shortage of times. The two of them bickered constantly on the road, and despite Wang Qiang's stutter, his tongue was anything but soft — when it came to arguing, Zhao Hong was truly no match for him.
And whenever Zhao Hong lost an argument, she would resort to violence. As for Wang Qiang, he would naturally suffer a thorough beating.
Yet Wang Qiang simply could not keep his mouth shut and had to retort every single time. Having been thrashed quite badly last time, he had finally learned his lesson — no matter how Zhao Hong tried to provoke him, he would silently nod in agreement, not daring to talk back.
But now, Zhao Hong suddenly acting this gentle was far too obviously strange, and it truly gave Wang Qiang a fright.
"Not at all — I just had a sudden flash of inspiration and thought of something," Zhao Hong said with a beaming smile.
"Wh-What is it?" Wang Qiang asked nervously.
"Husband, why don't the two of us each set a Soul-Attached Barrier Curse on each other?" Zhao Hong said.
"Wh-What? A S-S-Soul-Attached Barrier Curse?"
"What's the point of setting that kind of thing up for no reason? Th-That's terrifying!!!" Hearing this, Wang Qiang's jaw dropped in fright.
Even Chu Feng furrowed his brow, his heart tightening.
What was a Soul-Attached Barrier Curse? It was essentially a curse laid using barrier techniques.
