Whoosh—
Chu Feng swept his sleeve, and sure enough, a powerful wave of martial force surged forth like a mountain crashing down and a tidal wave rolling in, hurtling straight toward the people of the ancient city.
Aagh—!
The moment that force touched them, every last one of them let out a wretched scream before collapsing unconscious.
Chu Feng hadn't truly harmed them. Instead, he had used his martial force to forcibly erase their memories—making them forget Chu Feng's appearance and everything that had just transpired.
If he hadn't done so, someone was bound to leak word of today's events, and then Chu Feng would inevitably be hunted by the Situ Spirit Gate.
After dealing with those people, Chu Feng resumed treating Song Yuwei's injuries.
Thanks to his efforts, Song Yuwei's cultivation was barely preserved, but her wounds were simply too severe.
During the treatment, she had fallen into a coma and would not wake anytime soon.
Looking at Song Yuwei like this, Chu Feng's brow furrowed tightly.
He felt a pang of anguish. On the surface, Song Yuwei's body appeared to have recovered—she looked no worse for wear.
But in truth, the damage to her soul was devastatingly severe. Even Chu Feng had no confidence he could heal it.
The formation currently enveloping Song Yuwei represented Chu Feng's most powerful healing method. If even this formation couldn't improve her soul, then Chu Feng would have great difficulty curing her injuries.
So the results of the formation going forward would be absolutely critical.
While awaiting the outcome, Chu Feng walked over to City Lord Liang.
"City Lord Liang, I'm truly sorry. You've been dragged into this because of me."
Chu Feng spoke with genuine guilt.
Though this catastrophe hadn't been caused by Chu Feng, it was ultimately connected to him. And what gnawed at him was the knowledge that City Lord Liang would no longer be able to remain here.
Before Chu Feng could deal with the Situ Spirit Gate, City Lord Liang would have to live life on the run.
"Young Master Chu Feng, please don't say such things. The ones who committed evil were those people from the Situ Spirit Gate—it has nothing to do with you."
"If you hadn't intervened today, Young Master Chu Feng, my family and I would all be dead without question."
"If anyone should be expressing gratitude, it is I."
The moment City Lord Liang finished speaking, he moved to kneel before Chu Feng.
It was no empty gesture. His gratitude came from the bottom of his heart—he had already prepared himself to die. Never had he expected to still be alive, and he owed that entirely to Chu Feng's timely arrival.
"City Lord Liang, please, don't."
Seeing this, Chu Feng quickly moved to support him.
He already felt guilty toward City Lord Liang, so naturally he could not accept such a reverent gesture as kneeling.
"This feeling—?"
But suddenly, Chu Feng's expression shifted. He sensed that his Fourth Grade Half-God-level power had vanished without warning.
And what was most bizarre was that his connection to the Asura King and every spirit in the Asura army had disappeared along with it.
It was as though that entire spirit army had abruptly vanished from his Spirit Space.
"Chu Feng, you need to get in here—now!"
At the same moment, Yusha's tense voice rang out.
Chu Feng had already detected the change within his Spirit Space, so after exchanging a quick word with City Lord Liang, he immediately directed his consciousness inside.
Upon entering the Spirit Space, Chu Feng finally saw it—the gate leading to the area where the Asura King and the rest of the Asura army resided had shut closed.
Now he understood why his connection to the Asura Governor had been severed so abruptly.
It had to be because of this gate closing.
"Chu Feng, I don't know why, but this gate suddenly shut. Can you open it?" Yusha asked.
"No, I can't."
"Not only can I not open it—my connection to the Asura army has been cut off entirely. This gate is sealing everything out."
After a brief attempt, Chu Feng gave Yusha his answer.
"How could this happen?"
Hearing Chu Feng's reply, Yusha finally grasped the severity of the situation.
It had been the power of the Asura army that allowed Chu Feng to slaughter so many experts from the Situ Spirit Gate.
