Clang—!
However, just as
The hand that had been gripping the semi-immortal weapon was already split open, flesh torn apart and dripping with blood.
This sudden reversal left everyone present frozen in shock.
"This is a battle between juniors. As an elder, you're going to interfere?
Tang Zhenghao erupted into furious curses directed at the Chu Heavenly Clan.
Not just he — everyone knew.
Chu Feng was no match for Tang Zhenghao. Not now.
So whoever had knocked Tang Zhenghao back couldn't have been Chu Feng. It had to be an expert from the Chu Heavenly Clan.
"Spar is spar, but this is Chu Heavenly Clan territory. I will not permit you to harm one of our clan."
At that moment, a figure stepped forward and came to stand beside Chu Feng. It was none other than the Clan Master of the Chu Heavenly Clan.
Seeing the Clan Master, forget the outsiders — even the Chu Heavenly Clan members themselves were stunned. They never imagined the one who had intervened to save Chu Feng would be the Clan Master in person.
And the fact that the Clan Master himself had stepped in only made it more apparent just how much he valued and doted on Chu Feng.

With that, a cold smile curled at the corner of Tang Zhenghao's lips.
It was a smile of mockery — of derision. Chu Feng carved it deep into his memory.
Today, he had been played. Played by this Tang Zhenghao.
He didn't know what method Tang Zhenghao had used to conceal his true cultivation, but he had pulled it off, and Chu Feng had genuinely let his guard down.
As for the Chu Heavenly Clan's Clan Master, he said nothing at all. He simply brought Chu Feng and vanished from the heavens and earth.
On the way back, the elder who had originally reported the matter suddenly dropped to one knee in midair, clasping his fists together, his face filled with remorse.
"Clan Master, your subordinate is incompetent. I failed to see through Tang Zhenghao's true cultivation. I ask the Clan Master to punish me severely."
