Regardless of whether the crowd was stunned, terrified, or busy fawning — Chu Feng showed no reaction whatsoever. He had long anticipated that once he revealed his strength, these people would react exactly as they had.
He had experienced similar situations far too many times.
"The danger here, you've all seen it for yourselves. So don't wait around for me — you'd best get far away from here. And if something feels wrong, leave immediately. Do you understand?"
Chu Feng addressed Linghu Yueyue and Linghu An'an.
"Mm."
Both Linghu Yueyue and Linghu An'an nodded.
"The same goes for you all. If something goes wrong, get out of here as fast as you can. Ideally, you should leave right now. What's happening here is absolutely not just about the Spirit Spring — it's very likely that an ancient creature lurking within is about to break free from its seal."
Chu Feng then addressed the crowd.
"What? An ancient creature?"
"Sir, do you mean those ancient creatures from just now?" someone asked.
"Did those ancient creatures look like they could break through the seal on their own?"
"The seal here — though I don't know who placed it — is incredibly powerful. Its purpose was to suppress those ancient creatures. But right now, that seal is being destroyed."
"The ancient creatures from just now were probably only able to get out because their cultivation was weak."
"The truly powerful ones are still waiting. They can only emerge once the seal has been completely destroyed."
"My guess is that when the stronger ancient creatures come out, even the Cloud Spirit Clan will be in deep trouble," Chu Feng said.
"That terrifying?"
After hearing Chu Feng's words, every person present wore an expression of fear and unease. Before, when Chu Feng had tried to warn them, they had thought he was deceiving them. But now things were different. After witnessing what Chu Feng was capable of, his image in their minds had completely transformed.
In their eyes, Chu Feng was no longer merely a genius — he was a Snake-Pattern Sacred Garment Spirit World Master.
Ask yourself: in a situation like this, who would dare claim they could see things more clearly than a Snake-Pattern Sacred Garment Spirit World Master?
So when it came to what Chu Feng had said, they had absolutely no doubts.
"Look out for yourselves."
With those words, Chu Feng leaped into the lake below.
"Lord Shura would never lie to us. I've already seen the situation inside the lake with my own eyes. Just now I sensed the aura of an Overlord at the peak of his realm — but deeper down, there are far more terrifying auras still."
"Before, I thought it was just my imagination. But since Lord Shura himself has said it, it must be true."
"So I urge all of you to leave this place of misfortune as quickly as you can," Pang Bo's father said.
"That's right. Lord Shura wouldn't lie to us — this place really is dangerous. If Lord Shura hadn't intervened just now, we'd all be dead."
"Damn the Cloud Spirit Clan! No wonder they didn't lift a finger — they must have known how dangerous this place was, so they went into hiding and sent us to our deaths."
"Forget it, stop complaining. Everyone just needs to get out of here before we lose our lives for nothing."
"That's right — let's leave this place right now."
Once Chu Feng entered the lake, the crowd's last sense of security vanished. They felt that without Chu Feng, no one here could possibly protect them. They no longer dared to linger.
And so, countless figures shot into the sky like a flock of startled birds, scattering in every direction. Even the people from the Red Wind Pavilion took Mu Ziwei and left the area.
But Linghu Yueyue and Linghu An'an showed no intention of departing.
"Ladies, aren't you leaving?"
Pang Bo's father asked with concern.
"We're waiting here for Lord Shura," Linghu Yueyue replied.
"But there's no point waiting here — you wouldn't be able to help Lord Shura in any way," Pang Bo's father said.
"Even if we can't help Lord Shura, at the very least we can face his hardships alongside him."
"Senior, please don't try to persuade us. Both our lives were saved by Lord Shura. And Lord Shura entered that lake in order to help us — there is no way we will leave," Linghu Yueyue said.
