For three days, Chu Feng's body had remained sunk at the bottom of this ocean.
Suddenly—
The seawater erupted with violent ripples.
A massive shadow was approaching Chu Feng. It turned out to be an undersea leviathan three thousand meters long.
In its presence, Chu Feng was as insignificant as a speck of dust.
The creature studied Chu Feng for a moment, then opened its cavernous maw, ready to swallow him whole.
But almost instantly, fear flooded its eyes. It whipped around and vanished from the ocean in the blink of an eye.
The truth was, during the three days Chu Feng had been unconscious, countless enormous sea beasts had approached him, each intending to prey on his body.
Yet every time one moved to attack, an aura would automatically emanate from within Chu Feng's body.
The moment they sensed that aura, the sea beasts would flee in terror.
Although Chu Feng had fallen into a coma, his body was still protecting him.
Of course, his body couldn't launch any active attacks in this state.
But the aura alone was more than enough to make those sea beasts tremble.
After all, Chu Feng was not merely a fourth-grade Martial Venerable—he was also a Dragon Transformation level seven Spirit World Master!!!
Even so, while his cultivation was enough to keep him safe in these waters, there was no sign whatsoever that Chu Feng was regaining consciousness.
Worse still, over these three days, his body had been steadily weakening, and now his life force was deteriorating at an accelerating rate.
If this continued, it wouldn't be long before Chu Feng lost all vital signs entirely.
And all of this was being watched by a single person.
This person was also within the ocean, concealing his presence.
Though he was quite far from Chu Feng, every move Chu Feng's body made was clearly visible to him.
This man was none other than the Prison General of the Prison Sect.
After the Hell Envoy of the Prison Sect had departed that day, Chu Feng had entered the lake to find the person the Hell Envoy had seen.
Though Chu Feng failed to locate anyone, the Prison General had been secretly observing him the entire time.
He had followed Chu Feng all along—not only to the Nine Souls Sacred Clan, but all the way here.
He had even quietly placed a barrier mark on Chu Feng's body.
That was precisely why, after Chu Feng had entered Xianqing City and escaped using concealment methods, the Prison General had still been able to track him down.
Watching Chu Feng in this state, the Prison General's gaze began to sweep across his surroundings. His eyes held a peculiar quality, as though everything within the ocean could be laid bare before him.
It was an exceptionally powerful observation technique.
Yet after a thorough scan, he found himself bewildered.
"He's in this state already, and still no one comes to save him?"
"Could it be that no one is secretly guarding him after all?"
"What exactly is that person's relationship with him?"
The Prison General turned his gaze back to Chu Feng once more, muttering under his breath.
He had originally assumed someone was secretly watching over Chu Feng—and that person was very likely that powerful man who carried the axe on his back.
But now it seemed that Chu Feng… had no protector whatsoever.
If someone truly were guarding him, they could never allow Chu Feng to be left in such a state.
"A young talent like this, and he really has no one protecting him?"
"What were they thinking?"
Looking at Chu Feng like this, the Prison General of the Prison Sect felt a pang of distress.
He had never intended to intervene in Chu Feng's affairs, but seeing that Chu Feng's life hung by a thread, he decided to make an exception.
He produced a black pill. The moment it appeared, the space around it trembled with an unnatural disturbance.
Clutching the pill in hand, he began to move toward Chu Feng's position.
"Hmm?"
