Seeing what had happened, everyone was shocked — including those junior Spirit World Masters. None of them had expected Chu Feng to suddenly strike.
That was Taishi Xingzhong's son!!!
The elders, including the one-eyed old man, had been completely caught off guard.
In their eyes, Chu Feng and the others were pushovers — easy to bully at will.
Who would have thought someone would do something so bold?
"You're courting death!!!"
Once the one-eyed old man recovered from his shock, his first instinct was to deploy a defensive formation.
The formation materialized along with a surge of killing intent — its purpose was to annihilate Chu Feng on the spot.
Hummmm—
But all that appeared was a flash of light.
The one-eyed old man and the other elders froze.
The light originated from Chu Feng's body, yet at this moment it was linked to Taishi Xingzhong's son.
It was a formation — a soul-linking formation that Chu Feng had set up.
If he died, then Taishi Xingzhong's son would die too.
It turned out that Chu Feng's punch hadn't merely been meant to harm Taishi Xingzhong's son.
He had injected a formation into the young man's soul.
Chu Feng had been prepared from the very start.
"Who exactly are you?" the one-eyed old man asked in a strained voice. Only now did he realize that this young man had come fully prepared.
"Go summon Taishi Xingzhong," Chu Feng said.
"Who are you, really?" the one-eyed old man pressed.
Uwaaah—
Chu Feng's palm suddenly clenched tighter, and Taishi Xingzhong's son let out a miserable scream.
His body had already been frail — he simply couldn't endure this kind of torture from Chu Feng.
"Stop! Don't hurt him!" the one-eyed old man panicked.
He had realized that there was absolutely no way to intimidate this young man before him.
"Go now. I don't have patience," Chu Feng said.
"Go." Seeing the situation, the one-eyed old man had no choice but to signal an elder with a meaningful glance.
That elder immediately departed.
"Young friend, what is the reason for doing something like this?" the one-eyed old man asked, still trying to find an opening.
But Chu Feng completely ignored him.
"Fellow, what are you doing? You're going to drag us all down with you!"
At the same time, secret voice transmissions from those junior Spirit World Masters reached Chu Feng's ears.
They were afraid that his actions would implicate them, and they wanted to dissuade him.
But even in their attempt to persuade him, they only dared to do so through secret transmissions — not a single one had the guts to speak up in front of the elders.
They feared the elders, but they didn't fear Chu Feng.
Chu Feng couldn't be bothered with such fools.
Before long, an old man appeared out of thin air on the scene.
This elder had eyebrows that drooped past his shoulders and a beard that hung past his knees — and both the eyebrows, beard, and hair were white as fresh snow.
Though his face was aged, he stood tall and straight, well over two meters in height. He gave off an air not only of an immortal sage, but of a dominating presence.
Though he looked thoroughly righteous, he was no good person.
This was Taishi Xingzhong.
"Father, save me."
Upon seeing Taishi Xingzhong, the frail young man finally managed to speak in his weak voice.
But compared to his son's reaction, Taishi Xingzhong himself was remarkably composed.
After all, he was a man who had witnessed countless grand occasions. Even with someone threatening his son, he showed no sign of panic.
"What is your objective?" Taishi Xingzhong asked.
"If you want your son to live, answer my questions honestly," Chu Feng said.
