The sudden turn of events shocked the people of both the Kong Heavenly Clan and the Zhou Heavenly Clan.
They suddenly recalled that the Prophecy Master's prophecy had foretold three people arriving at this place.
But they had overlooked this third person, and what they had never expected was that this third person was also a second-grade True Immortal.
"Take this. It will heal your injuries. Then… go save him. I'll hold these people off for you." The Bloodscale Monster Clan's Clan Chief tossed a medicinal pill toward Zi Xunyi.
"Zhen Ping." At that moment, the gaze Zi Xunyi directed at the Bloodscale Monster Clan's Clan Chief was complicated.
She had clearly never imagined that after she had so cruelly rejected the Bloodscale Monster Clan's Clan Chief, he would still be willing to come and help her.
Help her save her own rival in love.
"Don't say anything."
"Go save him." The Bloodscale Monster Clan's Clan Chief offered Zi Xunyi a faint smile. That smile was so gentle.
Even Chu Feng, a man himself, felt his heart stir upon seeing that smile.
In that moment, Chu Feng understood just how much the Bloodscale Monster Clan's Clan Chief loved Zi Xunyi.
If Zi Xunyi's love for the Heroic Dynasty was so rare, so deep, that she could sacrifice her life and abandon everything for it—
Then the Bloodscale Monster Clan's Clan Chief's love for Zi Xunyi was exactly the same: equally deep to the bone, willing to cast aside everything.
Even Chu Feng, an outsider, was moved. He could fully imagine the turmoil raging within Zi Xunyi's heart.
At that moment, Zi Xunyi's eyes had grown moist, and she seemed to want to say something.
But just then, the Bloodscale Monster Clan's Clan Chief suddenly turned his head toward the Kong Heavenly Clan's Clan Chief and the others.
The gentle smile was gone from the corners of his mouth. All that remained was a savage expression and killing intent so cold it sent chills down one's spine.
"Dare to touch my woman — all of you, die!!!"
With that, the Bloodscale Monster Clan's Clan Chief soared into the sky, wielding his crimson greatsword, and charged at the Kong Heavenly Clan's Clan Chief.
"Chu Feng, let's go."
Seeing this, Zi Xunyi hastily swallowed the medicinal pill, then seized Chu Feng and headed toward the Mournful Fate Mountain Range.
"You think you can run?" Seeing this, the Zhou Heavenly Clan's Clan Chief moved to give chase.
Their main target today was Chu Feng — they naturally would not let him escape so easily.
Boom—
But just then, a crescent slash swept toward him, forcibly driving him back.
It was the Bloodscale Monster Clan's Clan Chief.
"Your opponent is me," the Bloodscale Monster Clan's Clan Chief declared coldly, his voice rumbling like thunder, commanding and imposing.
However, the Zhou Heavenly Clan's Clan Chief ignored the Bloodscale Monster Clan's Clan Chief entirely and once again lunged toward Chu Feng and Zi Xunyi.
Boom—
Another crescent slash flew forth, once again cutting off the Zhou Heavenly Clan's Clan Chief's path.
"I said, your opponent is me." The Bloodscale Monster Clan's Clan Chief spoke again, his voice sharp as steel.
"Very well. Since you're so eager to die, I'll grant your wish."
Enraged, the Zhou Heavenly Clan's Clan Chief abandoned any thought of Chu Feng and Zi Xunyi and instead attacked the Bloodscale Monster Clan's Clan Chief.
"Anyone who dares touch Zi Xunyi will be the one to die!!!"
The Bloodscale Monster Clan's Clan Chief refused to back down, swinging the crimson greatsword in his hand.
He faced the seven True Immortals of the Kong Heavenly Clan and Zhou Heavenly Clan single-handedly.
Chu Feng did not know what kind of medicinal pill the Bloodscale Monster Clan's Clan Chief had given Zi Xunyi.
But one thing was certain: that pill was extraordinarily potent. After taking it, Zi Xunyi's injuries began to improve rapidly, and her aura started to recover.
Furthermore, with Chu Feng leading the way, they arrived at the entrance of the Mournful Fate Mountain Range in the blink of an eye.
"Who goes there?"
At the entrance of the Mournful Fate Mountain Range, several elders of the Kong Heavenly Clan stood guard. Their cultivation was not weak — every one of them was at the peak of the Martial Ancestor realm.
