But there was more than just that weighing on Chu Feng's mind. There was something else as well.
He had already defeated the Nameless Clan, making the Chu Heavenly Clan the overlord of the Ancestral Martial Star Domain.
Though, he didn't exactly consider that to be some grand achievement.
He knew in his heart that if his father had wanted to, he could have accomplished this long ago.
He could have done it even better, in a way that would leave people truly in awe.
But Chu Feng still felt, to some small degree, a touch of pride.
After all, having the Chu Heavenly Clan dominate the Ancestral Martial Star Domain had been, in a way, a task his father had entrusted to him.
By completing it now, he had also fulfilled one of the ancestral wishes of the Chu Heavenly Clan's forebears.
"Chu Feng, what are you thinking about, standing here all alone?"
Suddenly, the voice of the Chu Heavenly Clan's Clan Chief rang out.
Turning around, Chu Feng saw not only the Clan Chief but also familiar figures like Chu Hanpeng and Chu Xuan Zhengfa.
"Clan Chief, what are all of you doing here?"
"If everyone's come out, how is the grand banquet supposed to continue? Won't it just fizzle out?"
Chu Feng said with a smile.
"None of that matters. Those aren't important things."
"The most important thing is you..."
"Chu Feng, now that you're back, how long can you stay with the clan?"
the Chu Heavenly Clan's Clan Chief asked.
"The real reason I came back this time was for Sister Liluo's curse."
"But she also said she can't be disturbed while in seclusion."
"I'll wait a while."
"Try to hold out until she comes out of seclusion."
"Besides, don't I still need to go to the Purple Star Hall?"
Chu Feng said.
"Chu Feng, the curse on Miss Liluo is no simple matter."
"It really does need to be broken as soon as possible. Otherwise, Miss Liluo could very well be in mortal danger."
"That, for you and for our Chu Heavenly Clan alike, is truly the most critical matter right now."
"As for the Purple Star Hall, that's a small affair."
"Don't go with me this time. Stay here and keep watch over Miss Liluo."
"If she happens to come out of seclusion while you're away and you miss her, that would be a real shame."
The Chu Heavenly Clan's Clan Chief already knew that Chu Feng had mastered a method for breaking curses.
He wasn't certain whether it could break the curse on Bai Liluo, but at least it was worth a try.
But after hearing the Clan Chief's words, Chu Feng couldn't help but laugh.
He knew that his Clan Chief understood that the gathering of the Ten Great Star Domain overlords at the Purple Star Hall was most likely going to be a trap.
And Chu Feng's personality was not one for swallowing insults quietly.
In truth, the Clan Chief had said all of this because he didn't want Chu Feng to go. He was afraid something would happen to him.
Over the short time since Chu Feng's return, the Chu Heavenly Clan's Clan Chief had made his position clear, both directly and indirectly, on multiple occasions — he didn't want Chu Feng attending the grand event at the Purple Star Hall.
But how could Chu Feng, knowing full well there might be danger, refuse to go and instead send the Clan Chief and the others in his place?
Wouldn't that just be sending them there to be humiliated?
"Clan Chief, let's not discuss the Purple Star Hall any further."
"I'm going, no matter what. Even if none of you go, I will."
"Don't forget — the invitation is in my possession."
As he spoke, Chu Feng produced the invitation letter, though he quickly put it away again.
"You stubborn child."
Seeing Chu Feng like this, the Chu Heavenly Clan's Clan Chief shook his head.
He understood Chu Feng's character well. If Chu Feng had set his mind on going, there was truly nothing he could do.
It was just that among the Ten Abandoned Star Domains, not all of them were powers on the level of the Nameless Clan.
Of the Ten Abandoned Star Domains, the Ancestral Martial Star Domain was actually the weakest.
Chu Feng might have been able to defeat Wuming Doutian, but the Clan Chief didn't believe Chu Feng could defeat the overlords of the other star domains.
He was genuinely worried about Chu Feng. He didn't want to see Chu Feng humiliated, and even more so, he didn't want Chu Feng to walk into danger.
