"Chu Feng! The Yuwen City will never coexist with you!!!"
"We will make you pay for this with your blood!!!"
Suddenly, an elder of Yuwen City let out a roar surging with killing intent.
At that moment, everyone realized that Yuwen City's words were no joke. After all, Yuwen Tingyi was the young city lord of Yuwen City — his status was special.
However, Chu Feng had no idea what was happening outside.
After the people from the Immortal Armament Villa departed, Chu Feng did not leave. Instead, he sat cross-legged on the ground and fell into thought.
"It's probably too late to go looking for the flying insects now. Chu Feng, what do you plan to do?" the Queen asked.
"It really is too late. The number of flying insects is limited, and I've already captured nearly all of them. Even if I start over, I wouldn't be able to capture enough. Otherwise, Xia Yun'er wouldn't have demanded the ones I'd caught," Chu Feng said.
"Then you still think there's a chance?" the Queen asked.
"I can't say for certain. I'm just not willing to give up like this. Maybe… there's another way."
As he spoke, Chu Feng took out all the purple gemstones he had gathered along the way and spread them out on the ground.
He stared at the purple gemstones, studying them for quite some time, but still could not discover anything special about them.
With the day nearly at its end and the Burial Spirit Pool about to erupt, Chu Feng was growing increasingly impatient.
Suddenly, he stood up and extended his palm. A blade forged from the power of a formation extended from the center of his hand.
Then Chu Feng swung the formation blade down at the purple gemstones on the ground.
Whoosh, whoosh—
The blade swept through the air as purple fragments flew. The once-intact gemstones were sliced into smaller and smaller pieces by Chu Feng.
"Chu Feng, what are you doing?"
"Calm down, will you? Didn't you say that there must be other opportunities in the Great Thousand Upper Realm? Even if we miss this one, there'll be another chance."
Seeing this, the Queen assumed Chu Feng had been pushed too far and was venting his frustration, so she hurriedly tried to console him. She was genuinely worried something might happen to him.
"Heh heh…" Upon hearing the Queen speak, Chu Feng not only stopped immediately — he actually laughed.
Hearing that laugh, confusion flickered through the Queen's beautiful eyes.
Because Chu Feng's laughter didn't sound angry or agitated. On the contrary, he sounded rather at ease.
"Don't worry, Egg. I'm not venting. I just thought of a very stupid method," Chu Feng said.
"A very stupid method? What is it? Tell me," the Queen said.
"The flying insects, once gathered in sufficient numbers, can form a compass that guides us to the Burial Spirit Pool."
"I'm thinking these gemstones, gathered in sufficient numbers, might also guide me to the Burial Spirit Pool," Chu Feng said.
"Ha ha, I get it now. Since the number of purple trees is limited, there's no way you can collect a complete set of gemstones anymore. So you plan to cut them into enough pieces."
The Queen laughed as she spoke. The reason she laughed was that Chu Feng's method was indeed rather silly — but at the same time, she felt it might actually work.
