At that moment, both disciples of the Nine Profound Sect — and even the elders outside the Inheritance Cavern — wore expressions of utmost tension.
The Liangqiu sisters held extraordinary status. Convincing them to come here had required no small effort.
If the two of them were to truly die here, how could they possibly explain themselves to Master Liangqiu?
Hummm—
Just as everyone was lost in their worries, something unexpected occurred. The door that Chu Feng had chosen — it vanished.
In other words, even if Xia Yun'er and the others wanted to enter now, they no longer could.
Upon seeing this, Xia Yun'er's face went pale, and a complex storm of emotions surged through her beautiful eyes.
It was true that she had once wanted to kill Chu Feng because he had seen her body.
In fact, that desire had lingered right up until they arrived at this place.
And yet, she did not wish for Chu Feng to die here.
However, while Xia Yun'er was consumed with frustration, the Nine Profound Sect disciples and Asura Zhao Kun breathed a collective sigh of relief.
Chu Feng's door had disappeared. Even if the Liangqiu sisters had not emerged, this at least meant their choice had been the correct one.
As long as the Liangqiu sisters were safe, they had nothing left to worry about.
"As they say, refuse to heed the wisdom of your elders and you'll suffer for it right before your eyes. This Chu Feng truly brought it upon himself," Asura Zhao Kun couldn't help but sneer.
"Asura Zhao Kun, even if Chu Feng has failed, he was fighting for our Starfall Sacred Ground," Xia Yun'er shot back, her voice sharp as a blade. "But you — you were also invited by our Starfall Sacred Ground. If you can't match Chu Feng's courage to charge into battle, the least you could do is refrain from mocking him. Don't you think that's rather unseemly?"
"I… that's…" Asura Zhao Kun was left speechless. He genuinely did not know how to respond.
In truth, he had been startled by Xia Yun'er. This was the first time he had ever seen her like this.
It wasn't just him, either. The other two Starfall Sacred Ground disciples had never seen Xia Yun'er in such a state before.
They understood now that Chu Feng's failure had truly affected her deeply.
Even though being reprimanded by Xia Yun'er left a bitter taste in his mouth, Asura Zhao Kun's elation was more than enough to drown it out.
As long as Chu Feng was dead, nothing else mattered. That was the most satisfying outcome he could imagine.
Waaah—
But just then, a miserable scream pierced the air.
Everyone turned toward the sound and saw a figure collapsed inside the first inheritance point.
It was Asura Zhao Kun's spirit. Not only had its cultivation failed to improve in the slightest — it was now drenched in blood, its body riddled with severe injuries.
"Yan Xiao, what happened to you?!" Asura Zhao Kun's face darkened instantly. He leaped forward and landed beside his spirit, hurriedly helping it to its feet.
