"Thank you for the reminder, Senior. This junior shall take his leave now."
Chu Feng smiled faintly, understanding the meaning behind the Passage to Heaven Immortal's words. As for that meaning, it was actually quite simple. No matter how powerful the Passage to Heaven Immortal might be, he was ultimately only at the peak Martial Emperor realm. There were many things about the Martial Holy Land that he simply could not comprehend.
In the Passage to Heaven Immortal's view, the Outer Realm might hold the key to unraveling these mysteries. After all, the Master of the Dark Hall, who hailed from the Outer Realm, knew many things that the people of the Martial Holy Land did not.
However, he could not venture to the Outer Realm himself, so he had placed his hopes on Chu Feng. That was why he hoped Chu Feng would prioritize his own safety — for only by staying alive could one enter the Outer Realm.
After that, Chu Feng headed straight for the location of the Compass Immortal.
The journey was no short distance, but Chu Feng's heart was brimming with excitement, giving him boundless energy.
His elder brother Chu Guyu, his cousin Chu Yue, his Master Qiu Canfeng, and Zhuge Liuyun.
There were also Huangfu Haoyue, the Ethereal Fairy, Qiushui Fuyan, the Dragon Daoist, and Brother Monkey the Demon Monkey King.
So many familiar faces, so many people who had helped him — Chu Feng would finally be able to see them all again. The more he thought about it, the more excited he became.
And so, apart from when he was using the Ancient Teleportation Formation, Chu Feng traveled day and night without rest, unwilling to waste even a single moment.
But suddenly, Chu Feng came to a halt, freezing in the sky above as though he had been turned to stone.
Below him lay what had once been a demon beast territory. Though this faction was not among the most elite demon beast clans, it had still been a power on par with the Nine Powers.
Now, the mountains that stretched across tens of millions of miles within the demon beast's territory had been razed to the ground.
Not only had they been leveled, but the entire area was shrouded in darkness, with thick black smoke billowing skyward, emanating a revolting stench.
"The Master of the Dark Hall."
At that moment, Chu Feng's fists clenched tight. He could sense the aura of the Master of the Dark Hall here.
The Master of the Dark Hall had been here, exterminating every living thing. Not only had all the demon beasts of that faction been killed, but even the flowers, trees, and the rare treasures and natural artifacts hidden deep within the mountains had all been obliterated.
Although all Chu Feng could see was a scene of lifeless desolation, when he closed his eyes, he could vividly imagine the moment the Master of the Dark Hall descended and began erasing everything here.
The elderly, the young children, even the newborn infants, and the demon beast warriors who had fought with everything they had to protect their kin.
When they faced the Master of the Dark Hall, they had all unleashed their furious roars and desperate wails, but the Master of the Dark Hall had shown not a shred of compassion. He had slaughtered them all, using their lives to fuel his own cultivation.
Whoosh—
Suddenly, Chu Feng moved again, continuing toward the exit of the Eastern Sea Region.
Even though Chu Feng had already pushed his speed to its absolute limit from the very beginning, at this moment, he somehow moved even faster than before.
It was fury. The fury burning in Chu Feng's heart gave him strength.
The Master of the Dark Hall's sins were unforgivable. Chu Feng would never let him go. But right now, Chu Feng needed to grow stronger, and the Eastern Sea Region was his only hope.
