"That Lord Qin Jiu did not leave behind many treasures."
"But every single one was extraordinary. Those that could be preserved were all considered supreme inherited treasures."
"He must have been an extraordinarily great Spirit World Master back in the ancient era."
At that moment, Long Kuitian couldn't help but voice his admiration, his tone filled entirely with reverence for Qin Jiu.
And upon hearing the name Qin Jiu, Chu Feng was not the least bit surprised.
Who was Qin Jiu? He was the most powerful Spirit World Master of the ancient era.
Because his barrier techniques were unrivaled throughout that age, he was hailed as the only emperor among Spirit World Masters. The world reverently addressed him as: the Spirit World Emperor.
This was something that Qin Jiu's Spirit World being, Lord Taowu, had personally told Chu Feng.
And later, Chu Feng had obtained Lord Qin Jiu's inheritance, which was how he had achieved his current exceptional mastery over the power of barriers.
Thus, Chu Feng was in fact Qin Jiu's true successor.
Next, Long Kuitian produced a command token.
Once the token was activated, a wisp of teleportation energy surged forth from the world formation, enveloping Chu Feng and the others.
In the very next instant, Chu Feng and his companions were pulled by the teleportation energy into the world where the Totem Dragon Clan resided.
As the teleportation energy dissipated, Chu Feng and the others found themselves standing atop a high platform, surrounded on all sides by magnificent structures.
Towers that pierced the heavens, palaces that hovered in midair—there were countless such sights, and the spectacle was truly breathtaking.
And on the platform, people had long been waiting to receive them.
The moment Chu Feng and the others landed, they stepped forward to greet them.
They first bowed to Long Kuitian, Long Chengyu, and Long Suqing in turn. Then the leading figure reported a matter.
It turned out that Long Rui—who had previously colluded with Jia Lingyi at Painter Mountain, plotting not only to kill Chu Feng but also to harm Long Muxi—had escaped.
"I sent word to you immediately. How did you still let him get away?"
Upon hearing this news, Long Kuitian was somewhat irritated. He had assumed that once they returned, they could punish Long Rui—never expecting that the man had already fled.
Having someone of that caliber slip through his fingers naturally made him feel he had lost face.
"Reporting to Lord Long Kuitian: the moment we received your orders, we went to apprehend Long Rui at once."
"But we never expected that Long Rui had anticipated this in advance and set up an escape formation ahead of time."
"And his formation was extremely well-hidden—we don't even know which direction he fled in," the person reporting said, somewhat aggrieved.
"He had actually prepared an escape formation in advance?"
Hearing this, Long Kuitian's expression shifted. If that was the case, then things seemed more complicated than they appeared.
"Actually, it's to be expected. That Long Ergou held considerable power. He likely accepted not only benefits from the Alchemy Dao Immortal Sect, but also from plenty of other forces."
"This time he was caught by us, but before this, he probably did plenty of other things that tarnished our Totem Dragon Clan's reputation."
"He naturally anticipated long ago that the truth would eventually come to light."
Unlike Long Kuitian, Long Chengyu was not nearly as angry. Instead, he turned to the person who had reported and explained Chu Feng's identity, asking them to arrange a place for Chu Feng to rest.
But as soon as Long Chengyu said this, Long Muxi spoke up: "No need to arrange anything. Just have Chu Feng return to my palace."
"This is?" Long Muxi's words caused every member of the Totem Dragon Clan present to turn their gaze toward her.
"This is Lady Muxi," said Long Kuitian.
Hearing this, the expressions of the Totem Dragon Clan members changed dramatically, and they hurriedly bowed deeply to Long Muxi: "Your subordinates greet Lady Muxi."
"We were foolish and did not know that Lady Muxi had returned. We were remiss earlier, and we ask Lady Muxi to punish us."
Because Long Muxi had rarely shown her true face before, few within the Totem Dragon Clan knew what she looked like.
And the members of the Totem Dragon Clan held themselves in very high regard. Even knowing that Chu Feng and Long Muxi had come along with Long Chengyu and the others and were most likely honored guests—
