"Chu Feng, you…"
"I…"
In that moment, Qiushui Fuyan found herself flustered. She hadn't expected that the very instant Chu Feng emerged from the Immortal Path, he would already know everything that had happened outside.
But that wasn't the main issue. The main issue was that she could see Chu Feng was angry. In all the time she had known him, she could hardly recall a single instance of Chu Feng truly being angry at someone close to him — and so, in that moment, she completely lost her composure.
"Sister Fuyan, I was gone for only a few years, and already you've started treating me like an outsider?" Chu Feng asked sternly once more. He truly was angry.
He knew Qiushui Fuyan quite well, so he had naturally guessed at her plan. She was doing it for his own good — she was afraid he would be in danger and didn't want to drag him down, which was why she had tried to trick him into leaving.
Yet Chu Feng still couldn't help being furious. Because if he hadn't come out when he did, if he hadn't discovered the situation, if he had let his guard down just slightly and been deceived by Qiushui Fuyan — if he had truly left this place — then the people of the Piaomiao Immortal Peak and the Remnant Night Demon Sect would very likely all be finished.
Though Chu Feng could see that this great battle had seemingly only just begun, the outcome was already decided. Even if the Piaomiao Immortal Peak and the Remnant Night Demon Sect joined forces, they would be no match for that horde of demon beasts.
If Chu Feng didn't step in, the armies of the Piaomiao Immortal Peak and the Remnant Night Demon Sect — the people he considered family — would all perish here today.
"Chu Feng, it's not like that. It's just that everyone was worried about your safety and didn't want you to—" Qiushui Fuyan hurried to explain.
"No need to explain." But before she could finish, Chu Feng cut in. "Sister Fuyan, in my eyes, you are my family. I won't truly blame you."
"However… I absolutely will not tolerate that group of demon beasts that came to attack you. I don't care what manner of monsters or fiends they are — I will not let a single one of them go."
"Sister Fuyan, just watch clearly and carefully, and see how your little brother deals with them."
With those words, Chu Feng flipped his palm and, in one motion, freed his wrist from Qiushui Fuyan's grip — only to seize her wrist in turn.
The moment his figure shifted, Qiushui Fuyan felt the world around her blur into nothing. And when her vision cleared, her expression changed dramatically.
Because at that very instant, she and Chu Feng were already outside the Piaomiao Immortal Peak.
Instinctively, Qiushui Fuyan turned her gaze to Chu Feng beside her.
Though she herself was a Martial King-level expert, and though she had once been carried along by Huangfu Haoyue at great speed, she had never experienced anything like what had just happened — a speed so extreme that, in the span of a single heartbeat, they had gone from deep within the Piaomiao Immortal Peak to outside it, completely ignoring the barrier that sealed the peak off from the outside world.
Whoosh—
And under Qiushui Fuyan's stunned gaze, an even more astonishing scene unfolded. Chu Feng swept his sleeve, and an invisible wave rippled outward, engulfing everything within ten thousand miles in an instant.
Once that wave had swept over them, all of them — Qiu Canfeng, Xue Xiyue, Taikou, and every last person from the Piaomiao Immortal Peak and the Remnant Night Demon Sect — vanished from where they stood. When they reappeared, they were behind Chu Feng.
Even Huangfu Haoyue, whom they all regarded as a Martial Emperor-level powerhouse, was no exception. In the mere flick of Chu Feng's sleeve, every last one of them had been swept up without the slightest ability to resist, and deposited behind him.
"Heavens." In that moment, Qiushui Fuyan was truly dumbstruck. She had no words to describe what she was feeling. She had cultivated in the martial path for so many years and had even achieved a measure of success, but what Chu Feng had just done was something she had absolutely never seen before — not even in the wildest tales.
"Chu Feng?!"
"Fuyan?!"
"Fuyan, why did you bring Chu Feng here?!!"
