However, Chu Feng still wanted Yue Lian to remain alive. This Yue Lian had committed unforgivable sins — he was the kind of scum that made both gods and men alike tremble with fury.
Chu Feng wanted to personally behead this beast of a father on behalf of Yue Ling.
"Benevolent benefactor, I'm sorry," Yue Ling suddenly said.
"Yue Ling, what's wrong?" Chu Feng asked.
"I've caused you trouble. He... will definitely come after you for revenge." Yue Ling was filled with guilt.
"I've got plenty of troubles already — he's really not even worth worrying about, so don't concern yourself with me."
"Yue Ling, you need to pull yourself together as quickly as possible. Don't waste your tears on a beast like him. He doesn't deserve it — do you understand?" Chu Feng said to her.
He truly did not have Yue Lian in his eyes at all.
So what if he was a Guest Elder of the Alchemy Immortal Sect?
In this Totem Galaxy, practically no one knew Chu Feng's true background — except for the old cat and Yuwei.
Right now, he was a barefoot man unafraid of those with shoes. He feared no one.
Much less a mere Yue Lian?
True, Yue Lian was currently stronger than him. But Chu Feng was not the kind to stagnate. Before long, he would be trampling Yue Lian underfoot.
If he couldn't even handle a character like this, then what right did he have to challenge the Seven Realms Sacred Palace? How could he ever rescue his mother?
He would be completely unworthy of being the son of Chu Xuanyuan and Jie Ranqing.
After that, Chu Feng had Dan Dan refine the origins of Yue Hui and his mother. Unfortunately, it did little to help Dan Dan grow.
As for the vicious woman, she did possess some treasures related to pill refinement and weapon forging, along with several barrier formations — all of which were of some use to Chu Feng.
As for their precious son, there really wasn't much of value on him. The only thing worth noting was likely the guardian formation. But once the guardian formation had been broken, the supreme treasure used to stabilize it had shattered along with it.
Afterward, Chu Feng wiped the memories of those two working women and left them at the base of the Nameless Sect's mountain, then departed the area with Yue Ling.
Chu Feng first restored Yue Ling's appearance. Unfortunately, the vicious woman's methods had been too cruel — while her looks could be recovered, Yue Ling's cultivation was beyond repair.
Chu Feng brought Yue Ling back to the Nameless Sect first and informed them that Yue Ling had offended a powerful figure, urging them to leave this world immediately, change their identities, and find somewhere to lay low.
If Chu Feng hadn't stepped forward that day, the people of the Nameless Sect would have already been dealt with by the Nine-Layered Pavilion. So they bore no resentment whatsoever. On the contrary, they thanked Chu Feng and Yue Ling for the warning and promptly departed.
As for Yue Ling, she had initially wanted to go with the Nameless Sect's people, since her master had treated her fairly well.
But Chu Feng felt that letting her stay with the Nameless Sect was not safe enough.
After all, those people from the Nameless Sect were not exactly trustworthy. What if someone betrayed Yue Ling?
That was Chu Feng's thinking — he wanted Yue Ling to go with Master Yuwei.
After what had happened last time, Chu Feng no longer wanted Master Yuwei to continue following him.
Although Master Yuwei was a Half-God and would have been an enormous help to him at his current stage, the memory of that last incident weighed heavily on his mind. He was terrified of something similar happening again.
He decided that Master Yuwei should keep a low profile, take Yue Ling, and find somewhere to hide. That way, Chu Feng could roam alone going forward and act without restraint.
With that plan in mind, Chu Feng brought Yue Ling to Old Monk Yiku's place. There, he also found that Song Yuwei had made a full recovery.
With Yue Ling's permission, Chu Feng recounted her ordeal to both Old Monk Yiku and Song Yuwei.
The two were equally furious upon learning what had happened and showed Yue Ling great sympathy. In fact, Song Yuwei and Old Monk Yiku simultaneously offered to take Yue Ling as their disciple and help her rebuild her cultivation.
At Chu Feng's suggestion, they both accepted Yue Ling as a student. That way, though Yue Ling would have to start her cultivation from scratch, with the support of these two mighty figures, she would likely surpass her former level within a few hundred years — and her future achievements would be even greater.
Still, after this incident, they could not stay in this world for long. Yue Ling's father was not someone to be trifled with — neither Old Monk Yiku nor Song Yuwei could stand against him. If they were discovered, it would be a serious problem. So the decision was made to leave.
Old Monk Yiku had traveled far and wide over the years and knew of several places suitable for hiding. However, he couldn't immediately decide where to go and needed some time to think.
While Old Monk Yiku deliberated, Chu Feng returned to the Nameless Sect's gates and studied that mountain range once more.
He was certain that Lord Qin Jiu's true inheritance lay within that mountain range. Yet for some inexplicable reason, he simply could not find it.
It baffled Chu Feng. If the True Dragon and Yue Ling's ancestor had both been able to find it, why couldn't he?
In his frustration, he took out the Heavenly Master's whisk once more, but it still offered no assistance.
"What's going on?"
"Am I, Chu Feng, really that dense?"
Having found nothing at all, Chu Feng grew irritated.
"Chu Feng, what if the inheritance is somewhere else?" Dan Dan asked.
"Where Yue Ling's ancestor attained enlightenment is uncertain, but the True Dragon pointed me to this very mountain range," Chu Feng said.
"What if the inheritance grew legs and ran off somewhere else?" Dan Dan asked.
"My Queen, you're the only one with an imagination like that. Since when do inheritances run away?"
Chu Feng, who had been feeling irritable, was made to laugh by Dan Dan's words.
