Everyone was baffled. That monster was so powerful, and its killing intent so overwhelming — how could it have suddenly stopped and let them go?
In their confusion, all eyes turned toward Chu Feng.
Everyone knew that the one who had made that monster leave was not some formation, not any of them — it was Chu Feng.
However, even Chu Feng himself was deeply puzzled. Just who was this little girl?
He had a feeling that she held some kind of special emotion toward him.
That was why she had spared him. And that was also why Chu Feng had asked her whether she knew him.
But the little girl had given him no answer.
Her departure left Chu Feng in a daze, his feelings tangled and complex.
How could such a dangerous creature be connected to him?
Boom!
At that moment, a deafening roar echoed out, and everyone could see that the little girl had transformed into a column of black energy that shattered the grand formation sealing this stretch of heaven and earth.
Shock spread across every face.
It turned out that the grand formation meant to seal this place had been utterly powerless to stop her.
That monster's strength was far too terrifying. Forget them — even if Chu Xuan Zhengfa, the Vice Hall Master of the Enforcement Hall, had been present, he would not have been her match.
The thought sent a chill of fear through everyone.
"Chu Feng, are you alright?"
At that moment, Chu Xingdi walked over, supporting Chu Xingren.
It was clear that Chu Xingren's injuries were severe — he could no longer even walk on his own.
Yet despite this, Chu Xingren still asked after Chu Feng with concern.
"I'm fine. It's you I'm worried about, Senior."
Chu Feng felt a pang of guilt. Had he known this would happen, he would never have handed the little girl over. If he hadn't passed her into Chu Xingren's arms, Chu Xingren wouldn't have suffered such grave wounds.
"Relax, I'm alright. But Chu Feng — was that person truly your friend?" Chu Xingren asked in a weak voice.
Even though the little girl had dealt him a devastating blow, there was not a trace of blame toward Chu Feng in his words. After all, he believed that the little girl might have been Chu Feng's friend.
"She's not my friend. I don't know her. But I have a feeling she might know me — that's why I asked her that," Chu Feng explained.
"I see."
Both Chu Xingdi and Chu Xingren nodded. They could tell that Chu Feng was not lying. Moreover, they seemed to trust him quite deeply.
Chu Xingdi then began treating Chu Xingren's injuries, and Chu Feng assisted using his World Spiritist techniques. With the combined efforts of both, Chu Xingren's condition improved quickly.
Though his wounds had been grave, the soul damage was relatively shallow — just as he had said, he truly would be fine. He merely needed some time to rest and recover fully.
After that, Chu Xingdi and Chu Xingren set off toward the Chu Heavenly Clan with Chu Feng, while the members of the Enforcement Hall continued searching for that monster.
None of them were a match for that creature, but they still had to track down its whereabouts. That was the duty of the Enforcement Hall.
It was only then that Chu Feng truly understood that the Chu Heavenly Clan — the overlord of the Great Thousand Upper Realm — was not merely an empty title. They genuinely worked to maintain peace in this realm.
They did not concern themselves with conflicts between powers, but when a being like that little girl appeared — one who slaughtered the innocent and possessed overwhelming strength — they would move to eliminate her the moment she was found.
At least, that was what the Enforcement Hall did. No wonder the Enforcement Hall held such a lofty position within the Chu Heavenly Clan.
After a stretch of travel, Chu Feng's gaze suddenly grew sharp, and a flash of astonishment appeared deep within his eyes.
Before him lay a vast sprawl of cities. This stretch of land was incredibly bustling — figures were everywhere, and the sheer number of people gathered made it seem as though some momentous event was taking place, drawing countless humans and demons alike.
But in truth, nothing extraordinary had occurred. It was simply that the inhabitants of this area lived in particularly close quarters.
This was, without question, the most densely populated place Chu Feng had encountered in the entire Great Thousand Upper Realm.
