"It's done?" Gazing at the scroll in Chu Feng's hand, the Limitless Immortal was utterly astonished.
"It's done." Chu Feng handed the scroll to the Limitless Immortal.
"Is what's recorded inside this scroll the location of the treasure?" The Limitless Immortal did not open the scroll. Instead, he asked Chu Feng directly.
"Yes, what's recorded here is the exact location of the treasure," Chu Feng nodded.
"Do we still need the secret technique?" the Limitless Immortal asked.
"No need. With this scroll alone, anyone can find the treasure," Chu Feng said with a smile.
"Hahaha, good, that's wonderful." At that moment, the Limitless Immortal burst into hearty laughter as well. It was the first time he had ever laughed so happily — he was practically beside himself with glee, a far cry from his usual composure.
Whoosh— But in a sudden, shocking move, the Limitless Immortal thrust a palm strike straight at Chu Feng's Dantian.
Zzzzz— However, as though he had been expecting this all along, Chu Feng simultaneously unleashed his Thunder Wings and Thunder Armor, narrowly dodging the Limitless Immortal's palm strike.
"You were actually on guard against me?" Upon seeing this, the Limitless Immortal narrowed his eyes, thick surprise flooding his gaze.
"Heh… I suspected you from the very beginning," Chu Feng said with a smile, that smile brimming with contempt.
"From the very beginning? Since when?" the Limitless Immortal asked, genuinely shocked.
"Your behavior up until now was perfectly normal. But when it came to the treasure connected to the secret technique, you showed an unusual level of eagerness. That told me you desired this treasure very much."
"At first, I thought there was nothing wrong with wanting a treasure. But precisely because your image up to that point had been so exemplary, it struck me as suspicious."
"Honestly, I couldn't be certain whether you intended to take the treasure for yourself. But I had to test it somehow."
"So I deliberately told the others not to come with me. Because only if you followed me here alone would you finally reveal your true colors," Chu Feng said.
After hearing Chu Feng's words, the Limitless Immortal stood frozen in place, as though he could not believe what he was hearing.
A good while passed before the Limitless Immortal finally recovered, a bitter smile creeping across his face. "Chu Feng, I have to admit — you really are clever. You're the first person who ever saw through me."
"That's right. No one in the world would ever suspect that the renowned Limitless Immortal is actually a genuine hypocrite. Honestly, someone like you is even more despicable than your junior brother, the Greed Immortal."
"Greed may be wicked, but at least he's wicked out in the open. As for you… you maintain the image of a good man in public while doing the most contemptible things behind everyone's backs," Chu Feng said.
"Contemptible things? How do you know I've ever done anything contemptible?" the Limitless Immortal asked, a smile still playing on his lips.
"All crows under heaven are equally black — and the fact that you've disguised yourself so perfectly only proves that you're no ordinary villain. The sort of evil deeds that even common evildoers would commit, you've surely done your share of."
"You're right again. More than my share — there is hardly an evil deed in this world that I haven't done."
"I won't hide it from you. In the Martial Holy Land, I have another identity." The Limitless Immortal spoke with a note of pride, even puffing out his chest slightly, as though this second identity was something he found deeply impressive.
"Who are you?" Chu Feng's brow furrowed as he pressed the question.
"Zhan… Cang… Tian."
The Limitless Immortal spoke the name one syllable at a time.
"What?!"
