When Long Chengyu spoke those words, even Long Muxi's expression shifted subtly. She hadn't expected that Long Chengyu would recognize Chu Feng.
As for the members of the Alchemy Immortal Sect, the look of despair already plastered across their faces gained yet another layer of ashen dread.
Who could have imagined that Chu Feng not only knew Long Muxi, the young miss of the Totem Dragon Clan, but was also acquainted with Long Chengyu, the young master of the Totem Dragon Clan?
And judging from that wide, ear-to-ear grin on Long Chengyu's face, his relationship with Chu Feng was clearly quite good as well.
However, compared to everyone else, Chu Feng himself was rather composed.
"Your identity really did catch me off guard," Chu Feng said with a smile.
The person before him — Chu Feng certainly remembered. He was the young man Chu Feng had rescued not long ago, in the jungle where Miss Liwu resided.
At the time, that young man had been lofty and arrogant, constantly questioning Chu Feng for not knowing who he was.
Eggshell had even thought him a fool.
Who would have thought that he was none other than the famous Long Chengyu of the Totem Heavenly River?
"Brother, you've surprised me too — you actually know my older sister. But I suppose that's fate," Long Chengyu said with a chuckle.
But immediately after, a secret voice transmission reached Chu Feng's ears.
"Brother, about what happened between us before, please keep that between us. After all, I do have a reputation to uphold, and if word got out, it would be a bit embarrassing."
This secret voice transmission came from none other than Long Chengyu.
"Don't worry, I understand," Chu Feng replied in kind, using a secret voice transmission of his own.
At that moment, Long Kui had already walked up to Long Muxi.
"Miss, are you alright?" Long Kui asked with concern.
"Elder Tian, I'm fine," Long Muxi replied.
"That's good, that's good."
Long Kui nodded, then his gaze suddenly turned cold. He spun around abruptly and threw a single punch. With a sickening thud, the fist plunged straight into Jia Lingyi's body.
The force behind that punch was tremendous — it pierced clean through Jia Lingyi's chest.
When he withdrew his hand, Jia Lingyi's heart had already been ripped out and crushed to pulp between his fingers.
After that single blow, Jia Lingyi was still alive, but fresh blood gushed endlessly from her mouth, and her entire body went limp, collapsing weakly in midair.
From just that one strike, she had nearly lost the better half of her life.
And yet, faced with Jia Lingyi in such a pathetic state, not a single person among the gathered members of the Alchemy Immortal Sect dared to say a word.
The arrogance and bravado they had shown when humiliating Chu Feng before — completely gone.
It was Long Muxi who spoke up nervously: "Elder Tian, please don't kill her."
"Rest assured, miss. I'm only teaching her a lesson — I won't take her life."
After saying those words, Long Kui raised his head and looked toward Long Rui inside the formation. The killing intent in his eyes only intensified.
At that moment, Long Rui was on his knees, trembling violently.
He knew full well that if there had been any hope of survival before, he was now virtually certain to die.
"Long Rui — will you take your own life now, or will you wait for me to deal with you when we return?" Long Kui asked.
Hearing those words, Long Rui actually rose to his feet.
"Sir, my crimes deserve death ten thousand times over. Today, I shall atone with my life."
With those words, Long Rui swept his sleeve, and the summoning formation dissipated.
The onlookers never even saw him take his own life before the formation vanished — clearly, it was Long Rui's own doing.
