The impact of the divine deer's furious roar not only made Chu Feng's ears ring, but also made him realize that the situation was far from optimistic.
Though the divine deer was powerful, it could not hold out for long.
So Chu Feng turned to the old woman. "Senior, forgive my disrespect."
With that, he grabbed the old woman and placed her atop the divine deer.
Yet even so, the old woman did not open her eyes. Her body remained unchanged — stiff and rigid, like a stone statue.
Chu Feng guessed that while this old woman's mind might not be entirely right, she had to be cultivating using some unconventional method. Otherwise, she would not be like this.
But Chu Feng had no time to dwell on it.
He could sense that those ancient creatures had not given up their pursuit, and they were now extremely close.
So Chu Feng immediately headed outward with the old woman in tow.
But not long after leaving Elephant Valley, Chu Feng spotted a crowd of people.
Among them, he saw members of the Cloud Spirit Clan.
It seemed the Cloud Spirit Clan had also realized something was wrong and had left Elephant Valley early alongside the others.
However, they clearly had not gotten far.
"Everyone, get out of here quickly! This place is not safe!"
Chu Feng shouted at the top of his lungs.
"Who's talking?"
"That voice — could it be, Lord Asura?"
"Lord Asura? Where is Lord Asura?"
The crowd heard Chu Feng's voice but could not see him at all.
That was hardly their fault — Chu Feng's speed was simply too fast.
By the time people reacted, he had already arrived in the midst of the crowd.
"Everyone, the ancient creatures have broken free of the formation's seal! This time it's not Venerable realm — it's Supreme realm! Tens of thousands of Supreme-realm ancient creatures have already emerged from that lake! Run — run as far as you can, and whatever you do, don't stop!"
Chu Feng sat astride the divine deer, hovering in midair, and shouted down to the crowd.
"It really is Lord Asura!"
"When did Lord Asura get here? I didn't even see him!"
"Lord Asura, you… what kind of position is… that?"
But compared to what Chu Feng was saying, the crowd seemed far more focused on his posture.
"Huh?"
Chu Feng was momentarily thrown off by their questions.
He was baffled. He was trying to warn them about the danger, and this was what they were talking about?
"Because your cultivation is too weak, this divine one cannot unleash its full power. Aside from you, no one else can see my existence."
"So in their eyes, right now you look like a fool standing in midair with your legs spread apart — oh, and there's an old woman sitting behind you, sleeping."
Just as Chu Feng was puzzling over their reaction, the divine deer's voice reached his ears.
"So that's how it is."
After hearing the divine deer's explanation, Chu Feng finally understood why everyone was so astonished.
At the same time, he recalled the looks he had gotten from the ancient creatures deep within the lake earlier — they had seemed shocked as well.
As it turned out, what had shocked them was not just Chu Feng's speed, but also his ridiculous posture.
"Lord Asura."
Suddenly, a familiar voice rang out.
Chu Feng looked toward the source and saw three figures soaring through the air before landing in front of him.
They were Linghu An'an, Pang Bo, and his father.
"Lord Asura, you said the ancient creatures broke through the formation, and they are at the Supreme realm?"
"Is that true?"
Pang Bo's father asked with a grave expression.
"I saw it with my own eyes — there's no mistake. And they are heading this way right now."
"Everyone, run! Or you will all die."
