Shengguang Xuanye was so consumed by rage and humiliation that he openly dispatched people to hunt down Chu Feng and issued a capture warrant. He even began covertly searching for anyone connected to Chu Feng.
At all costs, Chu Feng had to be eliminated.
When word spread, it immediately sent shockwaves throughout the land.
Although Shengguang Xuanye had pinned the crimes of stealing the Saint Light Bloodline Water and murdering members of the Saint Light Clan on Chu Feng, most people saw right through it. They knew perfectly well these were nothing more than excuses the Saint Light Clan had fabricated to justify getting rid of Chu Feng.
If someone is determined to condemn you, why worry about lacking a pretext?
As for why the Saint Light Clan wanted Chu Feng dead, everyone understood that too.
They saw him as a threat — plain and simple.
And the fact that they had mobilized so aggressively so quickly only proved just how enormous a threat Chu Feng posed to the Saint Light Clan. Otherwise, they would not have moved against him with such urgency.
Though everyone had their suspicions, not a single person dared voice their displeasure. They could only feign ignorance and quietly lament Chu Feng's misfortune.
Yet despite the Saint Light Clan throwing everything they had into the pursuit, they came up empty-handed.
Because Chu Feng had already left the Storm World.
The reason he had managed to escape so quickly was not some extraordinary ability of his own, but rather the Divine Deer within his body, who had displayed her magnificent power.
Originally, Chu Feng had been torturing Shengguang Yu in order to instill fear in him, making him easier to control. After all, facing so many Saint Light Clan experts, the only way Chu Feng could safely leave the tiger's den was by relying on Shengguang Yu.
But who could have predicted that, while Chu Feng was tormenting Shengguang Yu, the Divine Deer inside him would suddenly speak? She had voluntarily offered to take Chu Feng away.
With the Divine Deer taking action, Chu Feng naturally had nothing to worry about.
He not only stopped tormenting Shengguang Yu but also left behind that formation. The purpose of leaving the formation was to make the Saint Light Clan think twice before acting rashly.
It was not that Chu Feng didn't want revenge on the Saint Light Clan. He was not that magnanimous — quite the opposite. Chu Feng was the type who always settled his scores.
However, while his strength was still insufficient, he had no intention of deepening the grudge between himself and the Saint Light Clan. He wanted to wait until he possessed enough power before coming to settle accounts.
So the formation was left behind as a warning, not a provocation.
After leaving the formation, Chu Feng departed the Saint Light Clan's camp through the Divine Deer's power and immediately left the Storm World via a teleportation formation.
But Chu Feng had not fled aimlessly. He had a clear destination.
After leaving the Storm World, Chu Feng arrived at a place called the Destiny Mortal World.
The Destiny Mortal World was a desolate region. The martial cultivators who settled here were all rather weak in cultivation — so weak that they could not even compare to the cultivators of the Hundred Refinements Mortal World. What was more, the number of cultivators in the Destiny Mortal World was exceedingly small.
And yet, this was the place indicated by the map made from Niantian's Qi within Chu Feng's body.
Deep beneath a vast mountain range, the earth churned and stones shattered as a figure hurtled swiftly through the underground.
That figure was none other than Chu Feng.
He was now very close to the map's final destination.
But Chu Feng had been wandering through this land for a full dozen days.
The endpoint was clearly so near, yet he simply could not find it.
"It's right here — so why can't I find it?"
Chu Feng stopped. He, who was normally brimming with energy and vigor, was now panting heavily, showing clear signs of physical exhaustion.
In his relentless search for the map's endpoint, he had exhausted every method at his disposal. Even he had expended an enormous amount of strength.
But despite all of that, he still could not locate the destination.
"What am I missing?"
"I've explored almost every inch of this land. I've covered nearly every place that could possibly be the endpoint — so why can't I find it?"
"What is wrong? What is wrong?"
Chu Feng's brows furrowed deeply. He, who was always calm and composed, had grown visibly agitated.
But then, suddenly, his pupils contracted, and his gaze blazed with a brilliant light.
