Inside the Holy Spirit Light Formation, Chu Feng stood in place.
Suddenly, with a flicker of his will, several figures flew over from nearby and landed before him.
"Young Master Chu Feng, spare us! Young Master Chu Feng, spare our lives!"
These individuals scrambled to their feet and hurriedly dropped to their knees before Chu Feng, their pleas for mercy echoing without end.
They were all survivors of the Nightmare Spirit Clan and the Heaven-reaching Beast Clan who had remained within the Holy Spirit Light Formation.
They had been here the entire time, only hiding in the distance and not daring to show themselves.
As such, they had witnessed the duel between Chu Feng and Linghu Mingye with their own eyes.
They also knew that Chu Feng now commanded the entire Holy Spirit Light Formation.
Facing such a Chu Feng, they did not dare show even a shred of disrespect.
They were terrified — terrified that Chu Feng would torture them just as he had tortured Linghu Mingye.
Yet, to their pleas for mercy, Chu Feng seemed utterly deaf. His expression remained flat and emotionless.
This only made them more uneasy. Chu Feng had summoned them all before him, yet he sat there without a word. They had no idea what he intended to do with them.
Whoosh—
Suddenly, Chu Feng swept his sleeve. A violent gale erupted in an instant.
The members of the Nightmare Spirit Clan and the Heaven-reaching Beast Clan were swept up into the hurricane, unable to do anything but go with the flow. In that moment, they could not focus on anything around them — all they felt was the world spinning around them.
And after what felt like an eternity of tumbling through the void, thoroughly dizzy and disoriented, they suddenly crashed down onto solid ground.
"Young Master Chu Feng, spare us! Spare our lives!"
After landing, the survivors of both clans were seeing stars, yet they did not dare hesitate. They immediately began begging for mercy once more.
"What do you think you're doing?"
But suddenly, a voice filled with fury exploded beside their ears.
The dazed individuals snapped back to their senses at once. Looking up, they realized they had left the Holy Spirit Light Formation entirely — they were now in that very plaza.
And every single person was staring at them.
"You cowards — were you begging Chu Feng for mercy?"
"You've brought nothing but shame to our clans!"
One after another, voices filled with outrage rose from the members of the Nightmare Spirit Clan and the Heaven-reaching Beast Clan.
They had all been waiting — waiting for Chu Feng to have his Light Runes seized by Linghu Mingye, and then to come crashing down here in a wretched state.
But after waiting for so long, not only had Chu Feng failed to appear — these few members of the Nightmare Spirit Clan and Heaven-reaching Beast Clan had shown up instead.
And the moment they appeared, they started begging for mercy. From Chu Feng, no less.
It was an utter disgrace. How could they not be furious?
"Big Brother, it's not that we're cowardly — it's just that Chu Feng is too strong. Even Linghu Mingye was killed by him. We were simply terrified," a member of the Nightmare Spirit Clan said, his voice filled with grievance.
And the moment those words left his mouth, it was like a bolt from the blue. Everyone was stunned.
"What did you just say? You said Linghu Mingye was killed by that Chu Feng?"
