All of the male disciples from every sect hung their heads in shame.
Because today, they had all been cowards.
"Benevolent one, my name is Yue Ling. Thank you for saving my life."
"I have no way to repay your kindness. I am willing to serve you as a beast of burden, doing whatever work you require."
The woman suddenly dropped to her knees.
"Miss Yue Ling, you are a woman of courage."
"But these senior brothers and fellow disciples of yours are not worthy of you. If you ever choose a husband in the future, make sure it is none of them."
When Chu Feng said these words, Yue Ling had been staring at him the entire time.
But then, she suddenly felt a surge of power flood into her body. The next moment, she realized that Chu Feng's appearance was beginning to shift.
It transformed into the visage of an entirely different person.
And before long, she had forgotten what Chu Feng truly looked like. In her memory, it seemed as though Chu Feng had always looked like this — like the altered version she now saw.
It was not just her. Everyone present, aside from City Lord Liang, experienced the same change.
The reason for this was that they had all been caught in Chu Feng's formation.
Today, Chu Feng had publicly executed people from the Situ Spirit Gate.
But Chu Feng did not yet wish to be placed on the Situ Spirit Gate's wanted list. After all, unless absolutely necessary, Chu Feng had no desire to conceal his true face. If he were wanted, then traveling through the Totem Galaxy in the future would bring him no end of trouble.
And the people he had killed from the Situ Spirit Gate today — these people were all witnesses.
Chu Feng was not so deranged as to slaughter every single one of them. So altering their memories was his final option.
The only thing he altered was Chu Feng's appearance.
They could leave this place and tell everyone they had encountered someone who killed the Situ Spirit Gate's people. Chu Feng did not care. If anyone asked them what this person looked like, they would describe a false image.
…
Afterward, Chu Feng returned with City Lord Liang to the side of Old Monk Yiku.
With all the materials gathered, Old Monk Yiku set up the formation once more.
Although Lady Yuwei's condition had indeed improved somewhat, the extent of the improvement was rather small.
For this, Old Monk Yiku could only express that he would need to think of another approach.
As for Chu Feng, though he very much wanted to help, he was powerless to do so — his own strength was simply too limited.
The good news, however, was that Lady Yuwei's condition was improving slowly but not worsening.
So Chu Feng made the decision to head to the place where the True Dragon had obtained its inheritance.
If he could successfully obtain the inheritance, perhaps his mastery of formation arts would improve as well. At that point, he might be able to help Lady Yuwei.
After a stretch of travel, Chu Feng finally arrived at the place where the True Dragon had received its inheritance.
It was a mountain range — a desolate one, where one could hardly find any trace of martial cultivators. But this mountain range was vast. Immensely vast.
Even with Chu Feng's current level of cultivation, when he used his Heavenly Eyes to survey the area, he could see only a fraction of the range.
The True Dragon's place of inheritance should be somewhere within this mountain range, but its exact location was something Chu Feng would have to search for himself.
Chu Feng did not dare be careless. He used his Heavenly Eyes to conduct a thorough search, but after finding nothing, he had no choice but to take out the Heavenly Master's whisk.
Unfortunately, the Heavenly Master's whisk offered no assistance whatsoever.
With no other option, Chu Feng could only rely on himself.
Since he was certain the inheritance was within the mountain range, Chu Feng searched painstakingly — and this took him a considerable amount of time.
It had been broad daylight when he arrived. In the blink of an eye, night had fallen.
By now, Chu Feng had explored the greater part of the mountain range, and a growing unease had taken root in his heart.
His initial certainty had begun to waver.
After meticulously combing through more than half of the mountain range without finding a single thing, he was no longer sure whether he could actually locate the inheritance.
He did not doubt that the True Dragon's directions had been false. Rather, he doubted his own ability — whether he was simply not capable enough to find it.
"That is…?"
But suddenly, Chu Feng's expression changed.
He spotted a light in the distance.
