"Young Master
Everyone looked at Chu Feng with pleading eyes.
But Chu Feng's expression remained cold despite their pleas. He said:
"Everyone, there's one thing I need you to understand clearly."
"Among those present, aside from my brothers and sisters of the
"Furthermore, when the
"If the Puyang Heavenly Clan members had been stronger than me, I'm sure I would've gotten a thorough beating right now. And as for all of you here — forget about showing me sympathy — you'd probably be laughing at me, wouldn't you?"
Chu Feng looked at everyone and spoke with a cold smirk.
Upon hearing Chu Feng's words, everyone silently lowered their heads, shame surfacing on their faces to varying degrees.
After all, what Chu Feng said made perfect sense.
The truth was exactly as Chu Feng had stated — had he really been defeated by
The only reason they were being so respectful and following his lead now was because they had realized Chu Feng was powerful and could be relied upon.
"We never had any real relationship to begin with. The fact that I, Chu Feng, was willing to lead you into this Holy Spirit Light Formation is already more than enough kindness on my part."
"So, to be blunt, whether the Linghu Heavenly Clan decides to attack you or not has nothing to do with me."
"Also, let me remind you of one thing — the one who led you in here is me, Chu Feng. The person the Linghu Heavenly Clan hates most is also me, Chu Feng. And after me, it's the members of my Chu Heavenly Clan. Compared to us, you're really not in that much danger."
"So if you don't follow me, you might actually be safer," Chu Feng said.
"Young Master Chu Feng, we may not have had any relationship before, but now we've shared life and death together. You can't just—"
Hearing Chu Feng's words, everyone grew anxious. They began trying to persuade him one after another, even resorting to playing the sympathy card, hoping Chu Feng would change his mind and help them.
"Actually, Chu Feng makes a very valid point. If the Linghu Heavenly Clan's new generation truly intends to go after someone, Chu Feng is their number one target. Following him might actually be more dangerous,"
Hearing Li Anzhi say this, everyone was left at a loss.
Chu Feng's words alone — they had felt he was only trying to shake them off, which was why he said such things.
But once Li Anzhi also spoke up, they began to think that what Chu Feng said might actually be the truth.
And upon careful analysis, it really did make a lot of sense.
For a moment, everyone was caught in a dilemma, unsure of what to do.
"One more piece of advice — if you want to leave this place safely, it's best not to touch any of the cultivation resources here. If you run into the Linghu Heavenly Clan members, say a few nice words, and they won't make things too difficult for you."
"But if you want to obtain cultivation resources, then be prepared to face off against the Linghu Heavenly Clan."
"Because that's how the world of martial cultivators works. Setting aside the fact that we already have a grudge with the Linghu Heavenly Clan, even factions with no prior conflict would inevitably end up fighting when they enter a place full of cultivation resources," Chu Feng said.
"Young Master Chu Feng speaks truly. It's just… now that we've already come in, leaving empty-handed would be rather hard to swallow."
