"Elders, it's my fault for not finding you sooner and letting you suffer."
"But from this day forward, I promise you — no one will ever hurt you again."
"I will now make these brutes pay for everything they've done."
"Chu Feng, don't be reckless! These brutes are extremely powerful. If you provoke them, you'll be in terrible danger!"
Seeing that Chu Feng was actually going to stand up for them, Zi Xunyi hurriedly grabbed onto him.
She had always believed that Chu Feng's talent was beyond comparison — a genius among geniuses.
But having been here for so long, she knew all too well how vicious and terrifying these bandit beasts were. She didn't want Chu Feng to risk his life on their behalf.
Seeing Zi Xunyi like this, Chu Feng's heart ached even more.
He knew that Zi Xunyi must have been tormented to the point of fear by these bandit beasts.
Otherwise, when the others had attempted to flee and most people had simply stood by and watched, seeking an opportunity to escape — she wouldn't have continued obediently with her labor.
Fear. It was because of fear that she was so compliant. It was because of fear that she didn't dare resist.
But one had to remember — she was no sheltered girl. She was Zi Xunyi, who had witnessed countless storms, endured countless hardships, and once dominated the Hundred Refinements Ordinary World!
For someone like Zi Xunyi to be reduced to such timidity — one could only imagine the brutal torture and abuse she had endured.
"These brutes — I will make sure they die horribly!"
At that moment, Chu Feng's fists clenched tighter and tighter. The always-composed young man was now so enraged that his face had flushed red. Gritting his teeth, his blazing eyes radiated an intense killing intent.
Chu Feng's will to kill had been born. Treasures and riches no longer mattered.
All he wanted now was to annihilate this entire clan of bandit beasts that committed every evil under the sun.
Uwaaah—
Just then, a miserable scream suddenly rang out.
It was Xu Jialuo. He came crashing down heavily in front of the Luo Family's crowd, his body covered in blood and grievously wounded.
Although they were both First Rank Heavenly Immortals, Xu Jialuo not only lacked a single weapon-grade immortal artifact, but he had never even cultivated immortal arts. He was simply no match for that bandit beast.
Seeing this, those who had been standing idle, hoping to seize a chance to escape, hastily bent down and picked up the crystals at their feet, resuming their labor.
They all knew — there was no chance of escape.
For them, the worst they would face was some punishment. But for the Luo Family's people, it wouldn't be so simple. They were all going to die miserably.
At that moment, every member of the Luo Family was trembling from head to toe, their faces frozen in terror. They were utterly terrified.
Looking at those savage, murderous gazes of the bandit beasts, they could already imagine what awaited them.
Dead. They all knew they were dead.
In this moment, they were consumed with regret. If only they had listened to Chu Feng's warning and not let Xu Jialuo lead that rebellion.
At least without the rebellion, they would still be alive. But now, there was no way they would survive — and they didn't even know what kind of torture they would be subjected to before death.
"Brutes! Today, I will make you vanish from this world completely!!!"
But just then, a furious roar suddenly erupted from the direction of the grand formation.
Looking up, a figure had already soared into the air, rising above the formation.
"That's our benefactor?"
Seeing Chu Feng, Luo Dali's face lit up with joy. He realized that Chu Feng was finally about to make his move.
"What is he doing? This isn't the time to cause more trouble — isn't that just seeking death?"
"He's gone mad, truly gone mad. He really is a lunatic."
But compared to Luo Dali, the rest of the Luo Family's people all thought that Chu Feng had truly lost his mind.
Xu Jialuo had mastered his divine technique, his cultivation had surged, and he had stepped into the First Rank of Heavenly Immortality — yet even he was no match for these bandit beasts.
