"A surprise?" Hearing these words, Chu Feng was somewhat confused.
"I never thought anyone would come to save me. I believed I was doomed, but not only was I rescued — I never expected the one saving me would be you. Is that not a surprise?" The Left Heavenly Venerable retorted.
"Senior Left, you're too kind." Only then did Chu Feng smile faintly, realizing that the Left Heavenly Venerable had been praising him.
"Senior Left, what exactly is going on? What is this so-called Dark Hall, and why are they targeting you?" Chu Feng asked.
"Chu Feng, I'll explain on the way. Come with me to the Spirit World Alliance right now." Upon hearing Chu Feng's question, the Left Heavenly Venerable seemed to recall something and immediately shot off toward the Spirit World Alliance's location.
Seeing the Left Heavenly Venerable's anxious expression, Chu Feng's brow furrowed as well, and he couldn't help but grow tense. He could already guess that the Dark Hall was not merely targeting the Left Heavenly Venerable — it seemed the entire Spirit World Alliance was under attack.
And within the Spirit World Alliance, there were many people who were very important to Chu Feng. Su Mei went without saying — she was his beloved.
Aside from Su Mei, there was also Sima Ying, Miao Renlong, Fu Feiteng, Lin Yezhou, and others.
Even setting those people aside, the Spirit World Alliance had been of great help to Chu Feng. Regardless of anything, he was a registered disciple of the Spirit World Alliance. Now that the Alliance was in peril, there was no way Chu Feng could stand by and do nothing.
"Senior, let me clear the path." With that thought, Chu Feng moved ahead of the Left Heavenly Venerable and unleashed the Azure Dragon Speed Technique, his velocity surging instantly. With Chu Feng leading the way, the Left Heavenly Venerable's speed also increased dramatically.
Watching Chu Feng clearing the path ahead of him, the Left Heavenly Venerable's gaze shifted once more. If the previous Chu Feng had merely rescued him, surprising him with how rapidly his strength had grown — Now, he truly felt as though Chu Feng were looking out for him. Normally, as an elder being shielded by a junior like this, one would feel rather uncomfortable. But in this moment, he was genuinely delighted, because Chu Feng was no ordinary junior to him — he was a junior the Left Heavenly Venerable held in the highest regard. And not just him; one could say that Chu Feng was a junior the entire Spirit World Alliance had placed tremendous hope in. Now, this junior had truly not let them down.
Along the way, the Left Heavenly Venerable kept his explanation brief, beginning to tell Chu Feng about the Dark Hall.
The Dark Hall — the Spirit World Alliance had never heard of it before. One could say that in the current Martial Holy Land, very few people even knew of its existence.
This Dark Hall had appeared suddenly some time ago and went straight to the Spirit World Grand Council's chairman, the Spirit World Immortal.
They demanded that the Spirit World Immortal, along with the Left and Right Heavenly Venerables — two Martial Emperors — submit to the Dark Hall. Furthermore, the Spirit World Alliance was to serve the Dark Hall from that point forward.
Faced with such a preposterous demand from a force of unknown origins, the Spirit World Alliance flatly refused.
Especially after the Dark Hall demanded that the Spirit World Alliance assist them in capturing Chu Feng — the Spirit World Immortal, in a fury, drove them away.
Who could have expected that the Dark Hall would harbor a grudge? Today, they had come for revenge, and their strength was far beyond what the Spirit World Alliance had imagined. The Spirit World Alliance was now under siege by the Dark Hall, its situation dire beyond measure.
…………
At that very moment, within the Spirit World Alliance, it was exactly as the Left Heavenly Venerable had described — they were in the depths of crisis.
After the Dark Hall's forces stormed in, they killed everyone in sight and destroyed everything they could, displaying extreme brutality.
This time, the Spirit World Alliance had suffered devastating losses. At least several hundred thousand disciples and elders had been killed, and the number of buildings destroyed was beyond counting.
A single glance revealed the Spirit World Alliance, built deep underground, shrouded in billowing smoke, strewn with wreckage — a truly devastating sight.
Fortunately, the experts of the Spirit World Grand Council had quickly rallied, dispatching all their strongest fighters to meet the enemy.
