"Why does he look so familiar?"
Although the man had already fled, Chu Feng suddenly felt that the man's look of extreme terror just moments ago seemed somewhat familiar.
But Chu Feng didn't dwell on it. The world was vast, and there were plenty of people who resembled one another — especially given how many people Chu Feng had encountered over the years.
Just then, the other onlookers also turned to flee.
"You're free to leave, but you can't watch the show for free. Pay up."
As Chu Feng spoke, he opened his palm and released a burst of suction force.
The blue stones on those people's bodies all flew toward Chu Feng. Not just the blue stones — even their Universe Bags soared toward him as well.
None of them dared to resist in the slightest. They didn't even dare to let out a peep. Having witnessed Chu Feng's ruthlessness, they felt that being able to leave this place alive was a blessing from the heavens.
Chu Feng, on the other hand, was somewhat disappointed. These people were generally weak in cultivation, so their Universe Bags naturally held nothing of value.
As for the blue stones — several hundred people, and Chu Feng had only managed to collect a dozen or so in total.
In the blink of an eye, the only ones remaining at the scene were Chu Feng and the members of the Situ Spirit Gate.
"You dare cripple my cultivation?! I'll make sure you die a horrible death! I'll slaughter your entire clan!"
The leader among the young juniors of the Situ Spirit Gate stared at Chu Feng with vicious hatred.
This was what happened when someone had no brain but the confidence of coming from a major clan. Even with their cultivation crippled and in the face of mortal danger, they still habitually spouted threats.
And they weren't just empty words — given the chance, he would truly follow through on them.
Judging by his earlier behavior, it was clear he must have frequently killed innocent people without provocation, burdened by heavy sins.
So Chu Feng activated his will, and a colossal barrier hand shot outward.
Splat!!!
It smashed him into pieces in an instant, and the splattered blood sprayed across every remaining junior of the Situ Spirit Gate.
Among those juniors, a few had also been glaring at Chu Feng with fierce expressions, but in that moment, they were all stunned.
"Don't kill me! Please don't kill me! I was only following his orders — I never intended to do anything to you!"
"He told us to do it! He's the one who deserves to die! But I'm innocent!"
One of them began begging Chu Feng, even shifting the blame to the one who had just been killed.
After the first one pleaded, the rest quickly followed suit.
That was how these people were. Their toughness and arrogance were mostly an act. It was only when facing a truly dangerous opponent that they revealed their true colors.
Chu Feng naturally knew their pleas for mercy were false — after all, he had seen their true faces with perfect clarity just moments ago.
But he had no intention of killing them. If that last fellow hadn't threatened Chu Feng, he could have survived too.
Chu Feng hadn't gone on a killing spree this time because he had two plans in mind.
The first plan: letting these people alive would bring the wrath of the Situ Spirit Gate down upon the Dragon Transformation threefold man who had fled.
But that wasn't the main reason. The main reason was…
Chu Feng was done hiding in the shadows. He intended to wage open war against the Situ Spirit Gate. He wanted them to know that he, Chu Feng, was coming for them specifically.
From now on, members of the Situ Spirit Gate would keep dying — all because of him.
He knew that at first, the Situ Spirit Gate would scoff dismissively. Anger would come later, after all — Chu Feng was merely a junior.
A nameless junior, at that.
But as more and more of their people fell at Chu Feng's hands, they would be forced to reassess him. And then they would feel fear.
Chu Feng wanted them to live in fear — until they broke, and finally faced death.
That… was the best revenge.
"Remember my name. I am Chu Feng. The reason your cultivation was crippled today is solely because you belong to the Situ Spirit Gate."
"But you are lucky — at least you're still alive. Others won't be so fortunate."
"So when you go back, deliver a message for me: if you want to live, leave the Situ Spirit Gate immediately. Otherwise, bear the consequences."
Having said this, Chu Feng waved his sleeve, and the Universe Bags, treasures, and blue stones on all the Situ Spirit Gate juniors flew into his hands.
Although the Situ Spirit Gate juniors were few in number, they had over two hundred blue stones between them — most likely stolen from others.
But it didn't matter. As long as they were useful to Chu Feng, that was enough.
After that, Chu Feng continued onward. He wasn't worried about anyone coming for revenge — he figured that among the juniors here, no one could stand against him.
Chu Feng went back to searching for blue stones.
As time passed, he collected several hundred more.
Right now, Chu Feng was breaking through a formation. As the formation shattered, yet another blue stone drifted toward him.
Rumble— But suddenly, the cavern began to tremble violently, and the shaking seemed to spread throughout the entire underground palace, with no sign of stopping anytime soon.
Before long, cracks actually began appearing in the cavern walls — it felt as though this impenetrable cavern was on the verge of collapse.
At the same time, the blue stones on Chu Feng's body began to gravitate toward one another, fusing together to form a single massive blue stone.
"Did I cause this?"
Chu Feng realized that the changes in the cavern were most likely triggered by these blue stones.
