"He got away?"
Chu Feng was somewhat surprised by this.
"He did get away. And before he fled, he gave these people an order — to personally build a palace for your Chu Heavenly Clan."
"But I believe this act demonstrates the Saint Light Clan's attitude toward you, and it also serves to atone for their sins. So after learning of it, I didn't stop them."
"As for Shengguang Xuanye, I've already sent people from the Saint Valley to hunt him down. Once he's captured, he'll be punished doubly. Please rest assured regarding this matter."
"As for the construction of the palace, I failed to inform you in time. Please don't blame me, Young Friend Chu Feng."
Shengguang Buyu seemed somewhat afraid of Chu Feng as well. As he spoke these words, cold sweat actually streamed down his face.
Seeing Shengguang Buyu like this, Chu Feng felt somewhat bad.
Regardless of whatever grudge he had with Shengguang Xuanye, it really had nothing to do with Shengguang Buyu.
Shengguang Buyu was a senior who genuinely helped Chu Feng, and one whom Chu Feng sincerely appreciated and respected.
"Senior, your help to Chu Feng — I have always kept it in my heart. Actually, you should have told me about this sooner. There was no need to worry."
"After all, no matter what mistakes Shengguang Xuanye made, they have nothing to do with you."
Chu Feng didn't want Shengguang Buyu to carry any burden, and his tone softened considerably as he spoke.
But after finishing, he turned his gaze toward Chu Lingxi.
"Lingxi, do me a favor. Later, have all the palaces the Saint Light Clan built for my Chu Heavenly Clan torn down."
"Alright."
Chu Lingxi agreed immediately. Though she didn't know the exact reason yet, she would unconditionally stand on Chu Feng's side.
Then, Chu Feng turned to look at that Saint Light Clan elder.
However, at this moment, both his gaze and tone turned cold.
"If anyone should repent, it should be Shengguang Xuanye himself who comes to repent. The rest of you — go back. Leave my Great Thousand Upper Realm."
Since he knew these were people loyal to Shengguang Xuanye, Chu Feng showed them no courtesy.
Loyalty was a praiseworthy trait, but it depended on whom one was loyal to. If one was loyal to the wrong person, they didn't deserve respect.
But who would have thought that at this moment, Shengguang Baimei also spoke up.
"Damn it! You listen to the words of a criminal?"
"When you get back, every single one of you had better march into the Reincarnation Dungeon on your own, or I'll take your dog lives!"
Shengguang Baimei roared viciously. Clearly, he truly had no idea about this matter; otherwise, he wouldn't be this furious right now.
"Lord Baimei, have mercy!"
Hearing these words, every Saint Light Clan member present dropped to their knees and begged for mercy.
What kind of place was the Reincarnation Dungeon? Entering it was essentially no different from death.
"Forget it. There's no need to punish them. Just let them leave," Chu Feng said.
"Hurry up and thank Young Hero Chu Feng!"
Seeing this, Shengguang Buyu hastily spoke. Perhaps he also felt the matter didn't need to be this severe.
"Thank you, Lord Chu Feng, for sparing our lives! Thank you, Lord Chu Feng, for sparing our lives!"
The Saint Light Clan members didn't dare delay. One after another, they thanked Chu Feng. Not only were their voices trembling, but one could even hear the sound of crying — it was clear they had been truly terrified.
"Shengguang Buyu, don't interrupt."
But Shengguang Baimei was not about to let the matter go.
"Elder Baimei, let it go," Chu Feng said once more.
"Young Hero Chu Feng, you... sigh, fine. I'll listen to you."
Shengguang Baimei saw that Chu Feng had spoken and had no choice but to relent. But he still turned to glare at the Saint Light Clan members.
"All of you, listen to me. From now on, your master is the Saint Valley, not that Shengguang Xuanye. If I ever hear that any of you dare follow his orders again, I'll skin you alive!"
At Shengguang Baimei's words, the Saint Light Clan members all kowtowed and admitted their guilt, swearing they would never dare make this mistake again.
Chu Feng couldn't be bothered to look at the Saint Light Clan any longer. He turned around and gazed at the Dark Night Divine River, once again observing it carefully.
But the scene that had just unfolded had been witnessed by everyone present.
They had more or less picked up on some of the undercurrents.
Shengguang Xuanye seemed to have offended Chu Feng and been imprisoned for it. The Saint Light Clan now feared Chu Feng greatly.
Although Chu Feng's cultivation had reached the legendary Half-God Realm, which certainly gave him the standing to make the Saint Light Clan fear him...
For the Saint Light Clan, the name of Shengguang Xuanye held a position in their hearts that was already deeply rooted.
