"Brother Chu Feng, don't worry, we'll always stand by your side."
"Big Brother Chu Feng, you will always be part of our Chu Family. We won't leave you."
"That's right, Brother Chu Feng. No matter what happens, you still have us as family. No matter what you've done, we will support you unwaveringly."
Right then, Chu Wei, Chu Cheng, Chu Zhen, and the others came out from the residence. Even Chu Guyu emerged. Everyone was visibly emotional upon seeing Chu Feng.
At this moment, Chu Feng finally realized something was wrong. He felt something must have happened and asked, "Did something happen during these days that I don't know about?"
"You don't know yet, Brother?" Seeing Chu Feng's bewildered expression, Chu Guyu sensed the truth.
"After the Hundred Sect Assembly ended, I went into seclusion to cultivate in a hidden place. When I came out, I came straight to find you. I don't know what happened during this time," Chu Feng explained.
"Brother, come with me." Upon hearing this, Chu Guyu first glanced cautiously around, then prepared to head deeper into the residence.
"Buzz." But just then, Chu Feng waved his sleeve. A powerful sound-isolating barrier materialized, enveloping this area. He then said, "Big Brother, let's speak here." His expression grew uneasy, and he was desperate to know what had truly occurred.
"Brother, the things from the Hundred Sect Assembly are true, right? You killed Dugu Aoyun, the number one disciple of the Lingyun Sect, and crippled Feng Hao, their second disciple." Chu Guyu asked gravely.
"That's right. Did the Lingyun Sect cause trouble for me?" Chu Feng countered.
"Yes. Not only the Lingyun Sect, but even the Qilin Prince's Manor is looking to cause you trouble," Chu Guyu said.
"The Qilin Prince's Manor?"
Hearing this, Chu Feng was greatly shocked. Although he knew the Lingyun Sect and the Qilin Prince's Manor had a good relationship, Qi Fengyang was stationed there. Qi Fengyang was now a Heaven Martial realm expert, so his status in the Qilin Prince's Manor should be even higher, his voice carrying more weight than the Lingyun Sect's. How could the Qilin Prince's Manor now turn its spearhead toward him?
"Brother, after the Hundred Sect Assembly ended, you didn't meet up with Qi Fengyang again, did you? You never went to the Qilin Prince's Manor with him?" Chu Guyu continued asking.
"No, I didn't." Chu Feng shook his head.
"Sigh." Chu Guyu first sighed helplessly, then said, "The current rumor outside is that you colluded with Qi Fengyang to assassinate the Manor Lord of the Qilin Prince's Manor, helping Qi Fengyang usurp power."
"But because Sect Master Yanyang Tian of the Lingyun Sect arrived in time, your plot failed. Now Qi Fengyang has been captured and will be beheaded in the Qilin Prince's Manor in ten days as a public warning."
"As for you, you escaped in the chaos. Now the Qilin Prince's Manor is hunting you down everywhere and has ordered that anyone connected to you must step forward and publicly declare severing ties with you. They must declare it a shame to have befriended an evildoer like you, otherwise..."
"Otherwise what?" Chu Feng pressed.
"Otherwise, after they behead Qi Fengyang publicly, they will execute all those who were close to you but did not publicly declare severing ties with you. They will behead them and exterminate their entire families," Chu Guyu said.
