"Yusha, I know you mean well, but this time I have to go."
"We still don't know what kind of person the Sect Master of the Wulong Martial Sect truly is."
"To rescue Ziling, I can't simply count on winning the Sect Master's favor — I'll need to rely on my own efforts far more."
"I may be weak right now, but even a small improvement will increase my chances by another sliver."
"And the Yin Yang Withered Well Realm — it could very well be that opportunity."
Chu Feng said.
"I already know I can't talk you out of it, but you still need to be careful."
Yusha said.
Before long, Li Muzhi, Song Qian, and the others — who had been released from their confinement — also made their way to Chu Feng upon hearing the news.
Learning that Duan Liufeng now had Chu Feng's back, they naturally breathed a sigh of relief and began making plans for the upcoming Yin Yang Withered Well Realm.
But the situation inside the Yin Yang Withered Well Realm was unpredictable, and none of them had ever entered it before, so even if they wanted to prepare, there was no way to do so meaningfully.
The only thing they could prepare in advance was to find partners to bond the Yin Yang Locks with.
In the time that followed, Chu Feng was far from idle. He continued seeking methods to break the Wulong Soul Armor.
But the further he got, the harder it became.
On his own, it wasn't impossible for Chu Feng to crack it — it simply required a great deal of time.
Within a short window, it would be very difficult.
And in the blink of an eye, the day arrived for the Yin Yang Withered Well Realm to open.
Once the Yin Yang Withered Well Realm opened, all junior disciples could enter.
Those who had already agreed upon a Yin Yang Lock partner could enter together. Those who hadn't would be randomly assigned by the elders.
Of course, arranging your own partner in advance was preferable.
As a result, the plaza for the Yin Yang Withered Well Realm was not only packed to the brim with a sea of people, but also buzzing with noise.
Those who had yet to find partners were searching, negotiating, making deals.
It was, once again, an incredibly pragmatic scene.
Women who were good-looking could still gain some advantage.
But for men, appearance meant absolutely nothing at this stage.
The female disciples would almost always prioritize those with stronger cultivation.
After all, they were about to enter the Wulong Martial Sect's most mysterious realm — the Yin Yang Withered Well Realm. There were opportunities to be found, but also risks to be faced.
And at a time like this, a powerful man could offer a woman far more sense of security.
"Look — it's Senior Brother Li Muzhi! And Senior Sister Xia Yan!"
"Chu Feng! Chu Feng is here too!"
Though the plaza was overflowing with people, the moment Chu Feng and his group arrived together, they stirred up a massive commotion among the crowd.
Chu Feng in particular was now arguably the most talked-about figure in the entire Wulong Martial Sect.
First, he had broken the record left by Lord Dugu Lingtian. Then he had accomplished something that even Lord Dugu Lingtian himself had never managed.
Most importantly, after killing Nangong Yuliu, not only had he gotten away unscathed, but he had even gotten Nangong Yuliu's grandmother, Nangong Chunyue, locked away in a cell to face severe punishment.
And the one who had ensured Chu Feng's safe escape was none other than the Wulong Chief, Duan Liufeng.
With extraordinary talent and now backed by the strongest person under the Sect Master — the Wulong Chief himself — everyone felt that Chu Feng was destined for unstoppable rise. No one would be able to stand in his way.
"I wonder who got to partner with Chu Feng."
"I wish it could have been me."
The female disciples gazed at Chu Feng, their eyes filled with longing.
"So this is the Yin Yang Withered Well Realm?"
