"It seems everyone still remembers our Totem Phoenix Clan."
A man from the Totem Phoenix Clan swept his gaze across the crowd.
He was strikingly handsome, yet arrogant beyond measure. Every time he looked at someone, a contemptuous smirk tugged at the corner of his lips, radiating an air of supreme self-importance.
But this man was no ordinary figure — he had the capital to back up his arrogance.
He was a fourth-grade half-god, and the oppressive aura sealing off this very location had been released by him alone.
"I am the son of the current patriarch of the Totem Phoenix Clan. My name is Feng Tiansheng."
After announcing himself, the man shifted his gaze to a woman beside him — someone of noble bearing, yet every bit as conceited. "And this… is my elder sister, Feng Jiuyue."
"Sealing this place was not meant to cause trouble. I simply wish to invite everyone to remain here."
The fourth-grade half-god introduced himself by name.
But compared to his name, people cared far more about what he had just said.
"Young Master, are you keeping us here because you have something to say?" someone who did not yet understand the situation asked curiously.
"Was I not clear enough?"
"Then let me put it more plainly. As everyone knows, the benefits within this Demon Crane are of far greater help to Spirit World Masters."
"My elder sister is a rare genius among Spirit World Masters in this era. That is why I hope everyone will do our Totem Phoenix Clan the courtesy of stepping aside," Feng Tiansheng said.
The moment these words left his mouth, the crowd erupted in uproar. This was nothing short of trapping everyone here so they could monopolize the Demon Crane's treasures!
"Young Master Feng, isn't the Totem Phoenix Clan going a bit too far?"
"This isn't your Totem Phoenix Clan's territory. The Demon Crane belongs to the True Master of the Demon Crane. What right do you have to bar us from entering?"
Someone protested indignantly, voicing their fury.
Whoosh—
But the instant that person finished speaking, he was sent flying through the air, crashing hard into the wall of the chamber. It was Feng Tiansheng who had struck — and his attack was vicious. The man was not dead, but he had already sustained grievous injuries.
"You ask me what right I have? I have the right of strength," Feng Tiansheng said.
Seeing just how ruthless Feng Tiansheng was, even those who harbored resentment in their hearts dared not show it. Setting aside whether they could even obtain the treasures here, even if they could, such gains were nothing compared to their lives.
"The people of the Totem Phoenix Clan are quite the bullies."
Just as everyone was about to comply, a voice suddenly rang out — and at the same time, the figure of Long Chengyu materialized.
"That's the young master of the Totem Dragon Clan — Long Chengyu!"
Long Chengyu was renowned enough that some of the younger generation present had seen him before.
Once Long Chengyu appeared, all the young members of the Totem Dragon Clan revealed themselves as well, Chu Feng included.
"So many young masters and misses from the Totem Dragon Clan have come?"
Seeing so many geniuses from the Totem Dragon Clan here, those who had been on the verge of giving up now looked as though they had found their savior.
Though some took note of Chu Feng, at this moment, the bulk of everyone's attention was fixed on Long Chengyu.
"So you're that Long Chengyu?" Feng Tiansheng was sizing up Long Chengyu as well.
"If you know who I am, then drop this pathetic pressure of yours. Don't embarrass yourself in front of me."
The look Long Chengyu gave Feng Tiansheng was one Chu Feng had seen before — the same look Long Chengyu had given him when they first met. But this time, it was even more overbearing.
Then again, that was only natural. The whole reason Long Chengyu had shown himself was to put Feng Tiansheng in his place.
"Long Chengyu, are you going to stick your nose where it doesn't belong?" Feng Tiansheng's narrowed eyes had already begun to radiate a chilling cold.
"That's exactly what I'm going to do. What are you going to do about it?" Long Chengyu replied.
"Heh…" Feng Tiansheng laughed at these words. But in the next instant, that laughter gave way to a look of vicious intent.
