"You still dare to laugh? It seems we need to teach you a lesson before you understand the might of our Xu Heavenly Clan."
Chu Feng's smile had clearly angered these members of the Xu Heavenly Clan. As they spoke, even their oppressive auras shifted — they were preparing to attack.
"I'd advise you to think carefully before making a move." Faced with the hostile members of the Xu Heavenly Clan, Chu Feng spoke once more. And as he said this, his expression turned serious — his gaze carried an authority that commanded respect without anger.
This response actually startled the originally furious members of the Xu Heavenly Clan.
"You still dare to threaten us? Don't you understand your current situation?" the Xu Heavenly Clan members demanded.
"Threaten? Since you know I was locked in the Fire Prison, haven't you ever wondered how I got out, and why I'm completely unharmed?"
"Even now, you still believe that token of mine was fake?"
"It seems the Xu Heavenly Clan really doesn't have much going on upstairs." Chu Feng shook his head with a cold laugh.
At that moment, the Xu Heavenly Clan members exchanged uneasy glances, a hint of panic flickering through their eyes.
They were naturally aware of what had happened to Chu Feng on the Ice Summit Peak.
In truth, they themselves couldn't understand how Chu Feng had been released from the Fire Prison so quickly, and appeared completely unharmed — it defied all logic.
But Chu Feng's words had jolted them to their senses.
If there was one explanation that made the most sense, it was that the token Chu Feng had produced that day was not fake — it was real.
Yet this possibility was something they found hard to accept.
How could a member of the Chu Heavenly Clan possibly have obtained Lord Nameless Starfall's token?
Though they didn't want to believe it, they couldn't help but hesitate.
If the token Chu Feng had produced was genuine, then they had already offended the Dantai Heavenly Clan — or worse, they had offended Lord Nameless Starfall himself.
What they should be doing now was making amends, not making matters worse.
For the moment, these Xu Heavenly Clan members were at a complete loss for what to do.
Chu Feng had certainly not deceived them — everything he said was the truth. But in reality, Chu Feng was also feeling quite helpless at this moment.
Normally, given his temperament, Chu Feng wouldn't have bothered talking so much. He would have already attacked to teach them a lesson and told them to scram.
But the current situation was somewhat complicated — not something Chu Feng could control.
Ever since Chu Feng had discovered that the backlash from that dark aura had not only completely sealed his Mental Power, rendering him unable to use formation techniques —
— his cultivation had also begun to rapidly decline. Just moments ago, his cultivation regression had accelerated suddenly, as if the heavens were deliberately toying with him, plunging him from the Martial Immortal realm directly into the True Immortal realm the instant he encountered enemies.
Although Chu Feng's cultivation regression had finally begun to slow down by now —
— the True Immortal realm was far too weak to be any match for these people.
With his combat power severely degraded and his Mental Power completely sealed, Chu Feng no longer had the ability to teach these people a lesson.
So, all Chu Feng could do was bluff them — make them afraid enough to retreat on their own.
But for the time being, Chu Feng couldn't leave either.
If he fled, it would make him appear to be running away, and the Xu Heavenly Clan members would immediately attack him.
So Chu Feng could only stay right where he was, waiting for the Xu Heavenly Clan members to become afraid and retreat on their own.
"I, Chu Feng, am a reasonable person. I won't kill you simply because you've made mistakes. But your actions today have angered me once more. Even so, I've decided to give you one last chance."
"But remember — this is your only chance."
"Either apologize to me and my clansmen right now, or... starting today, I, Chu Feng, will make your Xu Heavenly Clan my mortal enemy." Chu Feng said with a grave expression.
"Who do you think you're scaring? Do you take us for three-year-old children?"
"Do you really think the Xu Heavenly Clan would be afraid of you?"
