Chapter 304: The Fickleness of Human Nature (1st Release)

"You need to understand this — before you help him revive, he will absolutely not harm your loved ones. During this time, your family is completely safe."

"And with your talent, by the time you become a purple-robed Spirit World Master, do you think you'll still fear the Dragon Daoist?"

"At that point, if he truly wants your help and bears you no ill will, fine. But if he's merely using you and plans to burn the bridge once he's done, you can turn around and kill him," Egg Egg continued.

At that moment, Chu Feng fell into deep thought. He felt that Egg Egg's reasoning made sense, but when it came to his closest family, he still felt the risk was too great.

"I'll go with your plan this time." After careful deliberation, Chu Feng finally concluded that Egg Egg's method was viable.

And so, on that very day, Chu Feng escorted the Chu Family to the Azure Dragon Sect. Given the special circumstances, even though he was a disciple of the Azure Dragon Sect, he had to wear a bamboo hat to conceal his identity.

Before even reaching the Azure Dragon Sect, while still on the mountain path, Chu Feng spotted large groups of Azure Dragon Sect disciples heading downhill with bundles slung over their backs. At the same time, he could hear their hushed whispers.

"Sigh, I thought the Azure Dragon Sect was going to rise to prominence. Figured joining this sect would mean a bright future. Who knew we'd have to leave as soon as we got in."

"Exactly. All because of one Chu Feng, the rest of us have to transfer to another sect. That Chu Feng really deserves to die."

"It's that Li Changqing who's too stubborn. All he had to do was step forward and announce that the Azure Dragon Sect was severing ties with Chu Feng. But no — he did step forward, only to say the sect would live and die with Chu Feng. Isn't that screwing all of us over?"

"Exactly. The Qilin Prince's Manor and the Lingyun Sect have both issued their decrees — anyone with unclear ties to Chu Feng will face the destruction of their entire clan. By doing this, Li Changqing is sentencing the Azure Dragon Sect to annihilation. If we don't sever our ties quickly, we'll be dragged down with it."

"I really hope the people from the Qilin Prince's Manor catch and kill Chu Feng soon. He's nothing but a jinx."

"Come on, enough of that. Let's just leave this place as fast as we can."

Hearing their words, Chu Feng's fists clenched tight — then slowly relaxed. But the look on his face remained grim.

These people. Back when he was riding high, every last one of them had been eager to get close to him, using his name to pad their own bragging rights.

But the moment he ran into trouble, they were the first to tuck their tails and run, never once sparing a thought for his safety. Worse still, they blamed him for ruining their futures.

"Brother Chu Feng, there's something I've been thinking about, and I believe I should tell you." Suddenly, Chu Yue, sitting beside Chu Feng, spoke up.

"Sister Chu Yue, what is it?" Chu Feng asked.

"I heard that not long ago, the sisters Su Rou and Su Mei also publicly announced they were cutting ties with you. They even said they were ashamed to know someone like you. However…"

"However what?"

"However, it wasn't them who said it personally. It was their father, Su Hen, who spoke on their behalf," Chu Yue said.

"Mm, I already know about this." Chu Feng smiled and nodded, showing no outward change in emotion. But inside, a raging fire of fury had already ignited in his heart.
