"Oh my god, is that Chu Feng? That's actually Chu Feng?!"
"He killed the Young City Lord and Yuwen Hualong!!!"
"That's impossible. There's no way!"
"How did he do it? How did he even get in?"
"Could this be fake? Could this be some kind of prank?"
In an instant, speculation ran wild. Many people felt that it was impossible for Chu Feng to have gotten in — and even if he had, there was no way he could have gone unnoticed.
Some even went so far as to conclude that this wasn't really Yuwen Tingyi and Yuwen Hualong at all, that it was nothing more than a prank.
But experts like Yuwen Yanhong could tell at a single glance that this was no fake. That was his son, Yuwen Tingyi, and his disciple, Yuwen Hualong.
"AAAAAAAAAAHH!!!"
"Chu Feng! I will tear you to pieces!"
Without warning, Yuwen Yanhong let out another thunderous roar. The force of it shook the very foundations of the entire main city of Yuwen City.
After that roar, Yuwen Yanhong charged out of Yuwen City like a madman, frantically searching for any trace of Chu Feng.
Unfortunately for him, no matter how desperately he searched, he found nothing.
Chu Feng had already departed long ago. By now, he was well on his way to the Void Divine Tree.
…………
After a stretch of travel, Chu Feng drew ever closer to the Void Divine Tree.
Along the way, he encountered all manner of people. There were supreme experts of unfathomable strength who flashed past him in the blink of an eye — so fast that Chu Feng couldn't even catch a glimpse of their figures. All he could sense was the overwhelming pressure of their auras sweeping over him.
There were also enormous entourages that thundered by in war chariots, banners snapping in the wind, moving with an air of absolute authority. They were imposing and arrogant, and when such forces appeared, the lone cultivators in their path hastily scrambled out of the way, not daring to cross them.
Along the journey, Chu Feng had seen — or at least sensed — every kind of powerful existence there was.
And he knew that all of them shared his destination. They were all heading for the Void Divine Tree.
Just as Ma Changchun had said, the anomalies at the Void Divine Tree had indeed sent massive waves through the Greater Upper Realm. It seemed that forces from every corner were converging on the Divine Tree.
However, perhaps because Chu Feng had used a disguise formation to alter his appearance into that of an elderly man — even though he was traveling at the full speed of a Fourth Grade True Immortal — not a single person who passed him so much as spared him a glance. Many didn't even bother looking at him.
But Chu Feng knew full well that if he had shown his true face, quite a few people would have been stunned.
That was the way of the Greater Upper Realm. An old man who had cultivated for many years but possessed only the strength of a Fourth Grade True Immortal would be looked down upon.
But a junior under a hundred years of age who had reached the Fourth Grade True Immortal realm? That would draw gasps of astonishment from onlookers.
Such was the Greater Upper Realm — brutally pragmatic and mercilessly cruel.
At this moment, Chu Feng was still traveling, but he was no longer alone.
Not far from him, another elderly cultivator was moving in the same direction.
This old man's cultivation was stronger than Chu Feng's — a Fifth Grade True Immortal — but he wasn't pushing his speed, so he was walking almost in step with Chu Feng.
"Fellow Daoist, you must also be heading for the Void Divine Tree?" the old man said to Chu Feng.
"That's right. I heard that a young man has somehow appeared inside the Void Divine Tree, within its very protective barrier, so I thought I'd go see what it's all about." Chu Feng replied in the tone of a seasoned elder.
"Ha ha, what a coincidence — I'm heading there for the same reason," the old man said with a hearty laugh.
And so the two strolled along together, chatting idly as they made their way toward the Void Divine Tree.
Their conversation revolved mostly around the Divine Tree itself. The old man did most of the talking while Chu Feng listened.
But as they walked, a vast expanse of thick, white fog suddenly materialized ahead of them. At first, Chu Feng paid it no mind. But the fog was uncanny — it actually obscured his vision, cutting right through even his Celestial Eye so that he couldn't see through it.
Under these conditions, his visible range shrank with every step.
Chu Feng sensed that something was wrong. He had a growing feeling that he might not be able to find his way out of this fog.
"This is bad — could we have wandered into the Divine Tree's Illusory Fog?"
