"Do you think Chu Feng will actually show up?"
"Hard to say. If I were Chu Feng, I definitely wouldn't come. The Heavenly Secret Venerable already made his prophecy, after all."
"But you're not Chu Feng. That kid is famously stubborn — he might actually come back."
"And then what? Come back just to throw his life away? That's nothing but blind bravery."
"But if he doesn't come, he'll be branded a coward for the rest of his life. Can someone like Chu Feng really live with that?"
…………
……
At that moment, across heaven and earth, whether openly or in secret, people were all discussing the same thing.
And the topic of discussion was whether Chu Feng would come.
The reason everyone was talking about it was that rumors had already spread — Chu Feng was not inside the Chu Heavenly Clan.
Given the prophecy that the Heavenly Secret Venerable had made, many people believed that Chu Feng had grown frightened and fled.
In any case, in just three short months, rumors were running rampant...
Rumble, rumble, rumble—
Suddenly, from the distant horizon, waves of thunderous booming could be heard.
People could see several enormous warships slowly approaching, surrounded by tens of thousands of powerful experts.
Their momentum was overwhelming, irresistible.
And the battle flags fluttering in the wind prominently bore the characters of the Linghu Heavenly Clan.
"They're here. The rulers of our Ancestral Martial Starfield have arrived."
When the warships of the Linghu Heavenly Clan appeared, many people immediately straightened with reverence, and some even broke into cheers.
Their fawning manner was practically that of a pack of lapdogs.
But consider — these were no ordinary figures. They were the powerful lords from every major force across the Ancestral Martial Starfield.
Yet these dignified, high-ranking figures were now doing something rather undignified.
"Truly pathetic. Just a moment ago they were wagging their tails for the Starfield's Main World, and in the blink of an eye they're pledging loyalty to a new master."
"Sigh, perhaps that's just human nature. No matter how powerful someone is, they're still human at the end of the day, with all the base flaws that entails."
Seeing this scene, quite a few people sighed inwardly.
But even though they found it distasteful, they didn't dare say a word. After all, when you live under someone else's roof, you have no choice but to bow your head.
"The pressure on the Chu Heavenly Clan must be immense."
Looking at the imposing Linghu Heavenly Clan, many turned their gazes toward the Chu Heavenly Clan.
The Chu Heavenly Clan — an existence that many powerful forces didn't even deign to acknowledge.
Today, however, they had to face the Linghu Heavenly Clan, a truly hegemonic power.
Some gloated, while others felt sympathy.
After all, this was a contest between two sides with an enormous disparity in strength.
"Look! Who is that?"
Yet just as the Linghu Heavenly Clan drew near, a figure stepped forward from among the Chu Heavenly Clan's ranks.
It was a young woman.
Facing the Linghu Heavenly Clan, many of the Chu Heavenly Clan's members had long since been trembling with fear.
In fact, quite a few of the Chu Heavenly Clan's people had already fled the area beforehand.
And yet, in the face of all this, someone actually dared to step forward.
Moreover, it was a young junior, which naturally drew everyone's attention.
"It's her."
"I know her. That's Chu Lingxi."
"Chu Lingxi? The princess of the Myriad Province Ancient Clan? The daughter of the Ancient Heavenly Eagle?"
"That's right. She's a monstrous genius in her own right. She was the one who challenged Linghu Hongfei three months ago."
