Chapter 2831: Chu Feng's Message (2) — Chapter 2833

After dealing with Yuan Wentian, Chu Feng found Yuanwen Hualong's residence. Although there were guards stationed outside Yuanwen Hualong's dwelling just the same as Yuan Wentian's, Chu Feng's Invisibility Talisman made it as though he were passing through an empty field.

Chu Feng slew Yuanwen Hualong as well.

After killing the two of them, Chu Feng did not leave immediately. Instead, he used the corpses of Yuan Wentian and Yuanwen Hualong to do something before finally departing.

And that something had to do with the grand ceremony in Yuanwen City the following day.

……

The next morning, just as the sky was beginning to lighten, all the people of Yuanwen City had gathered in the vast, boundless plaza.

It was not only the citizens of Yuanwen City. The vassal forces surrounding Yuanwen City had received their invitations the day before, so they had arrived early that morning.

Yuanwen Yanhong, the City Lord of Yuanwen City, ascended the elevated platform before the eyes of the massive crowd.

After surveying the assembled masses, Yuanwen Yanhong suddenly spoke up in a booming voice.

"Do you all know why I have gathered you here today? Why I have organized this grand ceremony?"

The crowd remained silent. They dared not venture a guess, all waiting for their City Lord to provide the answer.

"I know that many of you believe this ceremony today is a celebration of having narrowly escaped the clutches of the Sacred Medicine Villa, and that is why we are holding it."

"You are wrong. That was never my intention. The reason I have organized this ceremony is to celebrate the rebirth of our Yuanwen City."

"What do I mean by rebirth? It does not merely mean surviving a catastrophe unscathed."

"The Sacred Medicine Villa was never a true threat to our Yuanwen City. We have never truly feared them. Even the one hundred Immortal Armaments I gifted them yesterday — sooner or later, they will return every last one to us, completely untouched."

"Our Yuanwen City has been able to take root and endure here for so long not without its backing."

"And that backing is precisely what the Sacred Medicine Villa dreads."

"In my view, therefore, the Sacred Villa has never been our true rival."

"Who, then, is our true rival? It is Chu Feng — that youngster called Chu Feng."

"Though Chu Feng is merely a junior, he absolutely must not be treated as an ordinary one."

"This Chu Feng is not only a prodigious martial cultivator — he possesses heaven-defying secret techniques, has cultivated the legendary Divine Punishment Mystic Art, and emerged from nowhere to suddenly become the most talked-about figure across the entire Upper Realm."

"Since his appearance, every major power has sought to forge ties with him. It goes without saying for forces like the Sacred Medicine Villa and the Immortal Armament Villa — even the Ancient Snake Clan, who have always been arrogant, proud, and answerable to none, could not afford to be an exception."

"Why do all these forces act this way? Because they all believe that behind Chu Feng stands a tremendously powerful force backing him, and so they fear him."

"But while other forces may fear him, our Yuanwen City does not. Chu Feng has committed acts of harm against our Yuanwen City, and regardless of his origins, we will make him pay the price."

"Not just Chu Feng — from now on, anyone who dares to harm the people of Yuanwen City without cause, our Yuanwen City will absolutely not let the matter rest."

"Even if it were the King of Heaven himself, our Yuanwen City would settle the score."

"This is what I wished to tell all of you today."

The City Lord of Yuanwen City declared at the top of his lungs.

And the moment his words fell, the sea of people in the plaza erupted into a frenzy.

"Yuanwen City!"
