All members of the Zhuge Family knelt before Chu Feng, including those who were gravely wounded.
This scene might have seemed perfectly natural.
But to those like Holy Light Whitebrow, who had personally witnessed how the Zhuge Family had initially treated Chu Feng and his companions—
This scene would stir something deep within their souls.
All of this change was because of Chu Feng.
Had Chu Feng not stepped forward, the Zhuge Family's fate today would have been utter annihilation.
As for Chu Feng, by stepping forward today, though he had offended the Situ Spirit World Sect, his gains were far greater.
He had not only become the hero who saved the Zhuge Family, but had also earned the Zhuge Family's recognition.
But that was secondary…
The most important thing was that when he first stepped forward, he did it not for anyone's sake, not even for his own. He fought for the entire Eastern Domain.
And he had truly defeated an opponent who should have been unbeatable.
For a martial cultivator, such an experience was incredibly invigorating. It would grant him tremendous confidence.
It would be of great help on his future path of martial cultivation.
After all, fighting for oneself and fighting for the honor of a collective were very different things.
Anyone could fight for themselves.
But few were willing to fight for everyone else, because people were inherently selfish, thinking primarily of their own interests.
Anyone else would never have done such a thing.
Put simply, others wouldn't dare. They wouldn't have the courage to risk everything for the sake of collective honor.
But Chu Feng did. And he didn't just have courage.
When Chu Feng had stepped forward earlier, it might have seemed rash, but it also proved he had spirit—blood and fire within him that ordinary people lacked.
There were many talented individuals, and many who could become powerful, but among those truly revered by the masses, which ones hadn't been daring, resolute people of conviction?
"I was truly a fool that day."
"To think I would have tried to snuff out a figure like this from our Holy Light Galaxy."
Holy Light Whitebrow gazed at Chu Feng from a distance, sighing involuntarily. Though his voice was quiet, Holy Light Buyu standing beside him still heard it.
Looking at the way Holy Light Whitebrow now regarded Chu Feng, Holy Light Buyu said nothing, but a gratified smile appeared on his face.
Knowing Holy Light Whitebrow as he did, he understood that if Holy Light Whitebrow had protected Chu Feng before out of fear of those behind him…
Then now, he had truly accepted Chu Feng from the bottom of his heart.
"Elders, please rise. Tending to the wounded should be our priority now."
Chu Feng had been urging the Zhuge Family members to get up for some time, and seeing that words alone weren't working, he walked over to the head of the Zhuge Family, intending to help him up first.
Seeing Chu Feng come to help him rise, the Zhuge Family head didn't put on airs. After standing, he gestured for the rest of the Zhuge Family to rise as well.
And signaled them to tend to the injured.
Although the Zhuge Family had preserved their foundation in this battle, the casualties had been severe.
Those who died could not be brought back, but the living could not be neglected.
As the Zhuge Family members rushed to treat the wounded, Chu Feng did not simply stand by and watch. He lent a hand with the healing.
Seeing Chu Feng helping, Master Yinren, Princess Xiaoxiao, and Daoist Niantian also stepped forward.
Even Holy Light Whitebrow and Holy Light Buyu exchanged a glance before joining in to help.
But at the same time, in another part of this world, a barrier gate stood upon the earth.
Outside the barrier gate stood the members of the Situ Spirit World Sect.
"My lady, how are you?"
The other members of the Situ Spirit World Sect were all unharmed, but the blue-robed woman was in terrible condition.
Just as Chu Feng had predicted, his tracking strike had indeed hit the blue-robed woman.
"Young Master Gouyue, are you alright?"
The blue-robed woman was so weakened she could barely open her eyes. Despite her grave injuries, she still asked about Situ Gouyue's condition.
"I'm fine. Quickly, take this pill."
Situ Gouyue held a pill in his hand and pushed it into the blue-robed woman's mouth. The pill was pure in quality and clearly extremely valuable.
And Situ Gouyue was not normally someone so generous with such things.
