"What should we do, Lord Tingye?"
Situ Hongbo asked.
"What else is there to do? We go to war, of course. Otherwise, our Situ World Spirit Sect will truly become the laughingstock of the entire world."
"Issue a warrant for Chu Feng. We must capture him no matter the cost."
"Anyone who dares shield him will be killed without exception."
Situ Tingye said.
"But we're exposed while he operates from the shadows. And setting aside the fact that this boy truly has backers — even if he didn't, he himself is a terrifying opponent."
Situ Hongbo's words were no empty threat.
After all, it had just happened before their very eyes — Chu Feng had killed every single prodigious junior of the Situ World Spirit Sect.
He had crushed their hope of rising to greatness.
"We can only seek help," Situ Tingye said.
"Seek help?"
Situ Hongbo was momentarily confused, but quickly realized what he meant.
"You mean... ask the Immortal Executioner for aid?" Situ Hongbo asked.
"That's right. Setting aside the fact that the Immortal Executioner has ties to the previous sect master, they were also involved in the matter of the Golden Dragon Flame Sect. I believe they have no desire to see any remnants of the Golden Dragon Flame Sect still alive."
"If the Immortal Executioner agrees to help us, then regardless of whether this boy has backers or not, he will pose no threat," Situ Tingye said.
"Lord Tingye, will the Immortal Executioner actually help us?"
Situ Hongbo asked.
"They most likely will. After the events of those years concluded, Lord Qian Yu of the Immortal Executioner said that if the Golden Dragon Flame Sect ever made a comeback, we could deal with them first."
"And if we prove unable, he would not sit idly by," Situ Tingye said.
"That's wonderful news!"
Upon hearing this, Situ Hongbo and the other elders all seemed to see a glimmer of hope, finally breathing a sigh of relief.
...
As for Chu Feng, he first returned to Song Yuwei and the Old Monk Yiku, informing them of the situation.
Upon learning that Chu Feng had wiped out all of the Situ World Spirit Sect's prodigious juniors in one fell swoop and had obtained numerous powerful spirit formations — which indirectly meant he had inherited the founding ancestor's legacy of the World Spirit Sect — Song Yuwei and the Old Monk Yiku were both overjoyed.
But Chu Feng did not stay long. He had only come to put their minds at ease. After explaining what had happened, he prepared to leave.
He intended to take advantage of the Situ World Spirit Sect's current state of panic, before they had time to regroup, and continue striking.
Though Song Yuwei was worried upon learning that Chu Feng intended to carry out further retaliation, she did not try to talk him out of it.
This was the path Chu Feng had to walk. And after witnessing how Chu Feng had, right under Situ Tingye's nose, slaughtered every last one of the Situ World Spirit Sect's prodigious juniors, her confidence in him had only grown.
In fact, in her eyes, Chu Feng was far more formidable than Song Luoyi had been at the same age.
It wasn't just his talent — Chu Feng was more meticulous in his thinking, and most importantly, he was ruthless enough.
She had seen many outstanding juniors before.
But this was the first time she had encountered a junior who excelled so thoroughly in every regard.
"Senior, rest easy here and wait for me."
"When I return, I will bring back the heads of everyone in the Situ World Spirit Sect."
Chu Feng spoke with absolute confidence, though it was driven more by his hatred for the Situ World Spirit Sect than anything else.
Song Yuwei kept a smile on her face the entire time. Only after Chu Feng departed did her expression suddenly shift, her eyes reddening.
She walked to a secluded spot, wiping away tears as she sobbed quietly.
"Sect Master... your vengeance will finally be avenged."
At that moment, she was caught between joy and sorrow.
Joy, because this great vengeance was about to be fulfilled.
Sorrow, because even if the vengeance was fulfilled, those who had perished could never return.
The pain would remain in her heart forever.
Over the following period, Chu Feng's figure appeared one after another across the Situ World Spirit Sect's territories — scattered throughout the various worlds of the True Dragon Star Domain.
And everyone who encountered Chu Feng met only one fate: death. Their heads were severed and carried away.
Chu Feng did not strike indiscriminately. Every location he chose was one he knew he could handle with certainty.
So whenever he struck, it was a massacre.
As word continued to spread, more and more people learned that the Golden Dragon Flame Sect still had a descendant alive — and that he was Song Luoyi's grandson.
No one knew when Song Luoyi had come to have a grandson, but that no longer mattered. What mattered was that this grandson of Song Luoyi was extraordinarily powerful.
Acting alone, during the highly scrutinized Spirit Beast Hunt, he had wiped out every prodigious junior of the Situ World Spirit Sect in one sweep.
Even the top prodigy, Tang Xiu, had been no match for him whatsoever.
Most importantly, this boy was utterly ruthless.
One territory after another belonging to the Situ World Spirit Sect fell to his slaughter.
Anyone who witnessed those devastated territories was struck to the core, marveling at the boy's brutality.
It wasn't merely a matter of heads being cut off — before dying, those people had endured inhuman torture.
Even more savage than what the Situ World Spirit Sect had once done to the Golden Dragon Flame Sect.
Under these circumstances, more and more members of the Situ World Spirit Sect began to abandon the sect. Even though leaving meant being hunted down by the Situ World Spirit Sect, they chose to betray it anyway.
In their view, rather than sitting like targets waiting for Chu Feng to come and kill them, they would rather betray the Situ World Spirit Sect — betray their own families.
No matter how powerful the Situ World Spirit Sect was, it only held dominion within the True Dragon Star Domain. Fleeing this place offered at least a slim chance of survival.
But that Chu Feng was too terrifying. He truly intended to annihilate the Situ World Spirit Sect. Staying meant only death.
Several days later, within the Situ World Spirit Sect's headquarters.
Situ Tingye, Situ Hongbo, and a host of experts gathered in the main hall.
