"This Chu Feng..."
At that moment, let alone the guests—even the members of the Fenye Monster Clan were completely dumbfounded.
Only now did it suddenly dawn on them just how terrifying the power possessed by this young man from the Chu Heavenly Clan truly was.
However, what they had witnessed was far from all of Chu Feng's strength.
Whoosh—
Just then, the lightning whip in Chu Feng's hand suddenly lashed out.
With a single swing, countless bolts of lightning erupted from the whip. Whip shadows filled the sky, and in an instant, they descended upon the Fenye Monster Clan members.
Aagh—!
Screams rang out one after another. Not only did the ordinary Fenye Monster Clan members cry out in agony—even Fenye Ganghao, the strongest among them, was gritting his teeth and letting out miserable howls.
The lightning whip in Chu Feng's hand appeared simple, yet it contained an immensely powerful force. That force could tear through flesh and pierce the soul, inflicting pain that was absolutely unbearable.
"Stop! Please stop, Lord! We were wrong! We were wrong!"
In the blink of an eye, the very same Fenye Monster Clan members who had been clamoring for Chu Feng to pay the price suddenly changed their tune. Not only did they beg for mercy and admit their mistakes—some even dropped to their knees, kowtowing and bowing to Chu Feng.
Yet Chu Feng remained expressionless in the face of their pleas. He merely gave a cold snort and said:
"I gave you a chance before. You simply didn't know how to cherish it."
"If that's the case, then don't blame me, Chu Feng, for being ruthless. Today's whipping is a lesson for you."
After those words, Chu Feng's whip struck even harder, and the screams of the Fenye Monster Clan members grew more piercing, more heart-wrenching.
It was only after a good while that Chu Feng finally stopped.
"Now, submit and pledge allegiance—or else... what comes next will cause you even greater pain."
Chu Feng's words were cold and detached, and as he spoke, killing intent surged from him. Even this world of spring warmth and blooming flowers seemed to plunge into the dead of winter, its chill cutting to the bone.
After being tormented by Chu Feng, the Fenye Monster Clan members were already on the verge of mental collapse. All they wanted was for Chu Feng to stop his torture—how could they endure any further threats?
So the moment Chu Feng finished speaking, more than half of the Fenye Monster Clan members immediately dropped to their knees, kowtowing and begging for mercy. Some even cried out, calling Chu Feng their master.
But Chu Feng's gaze didn't so much as fall upon those who had knelt and submitted. His eyes were fixed on those who had not.
"It seems there are still some who refuse to submit. Then don't blame me, Chu Feng, for showing no mercy."
