As for Chu Feng, he couldn't care less what others thought of him, because in his view, if he hadn't arrived in time today, the ones who would have died were the people of Luo Xia Valley. And without the Crystal Giant to protect him, even he would have perished.
When it came to those who wanted to kill him, Chu Feng never left survivors.
The reasoning was simple — in Chu Feng's eyes, anyone who wanted him dead deserved to die.
"Elder Ning Shuang!!!"
"Elder!!!"
Right after, several more figures shot out from the void — it was Xu Yiyi and Song Biyu, among others.
In truth, they had arrived long ago, but had been hiding within the void the entire time without revealing themselves. The fact that no one had detected their presence was naturally due to Zhao Hong's methods.
Once Xu Yiyi, Song Biyu, and the others descended, they quickly mingled with the rest of the Luo Xia Valley and Three Star Hall disciples.
Those who had already been here recounted the dangers they had faced earlier, while Xu Yiyi and the others began telling them about Chu Feng's encounters with the Soul Infant Sect and the others.
When the people here learned that Chu Feng had previously harnessed the power of a heaven-defying formation to defeat the infamous Ghost Slash Old Demon, and had even used a demonic weapon to scare away a True Immortal powerhouse…
The way they looked at Chu Feng underwent yet another dramatic shift.
If many of the Three Star Hall and Luo Xia Valley disciples had previously idolized their parents, or their Master, or their Sect Master…
Then at this moment, many of them had switched their object of admiration to Chu Feng.
After all, what Chu Feng had accomplished was something their parents, their Master, and their Sect Master could never do.
What's more, Chu Feng was a junior of the same generation as them, which made their admiration and reverence for him surpass that for everyone else.
Yet at this moment, Jiang Hao's feelings were growing ever more conflicted. After all… he had done so many excessive things to Chu Feng before, and had even tried to end his life.
Right now, he was truly filled with regret. If he had known Chu Feng was this powerful, not even a hundred times the courage would have been enough for him to make things difficult for Chu Feng back then.
However, just as Jiang Hao was worrying about whether Chu Feng would seek revenge, Chu Feng hadn't given it a single thought. Instead, he was chatting with Elder Ning Shuang, explaining the purpose of his visit.
"Chu Feng, you actually intend to enter those ruins?" Upon learning that Chu Feng wanted to enter the ruins, Elder Ning Shuang was visibly shocked. Even a thick layer of concern surfaced in his gaze.
"What, does that mean you look down on us?" Zhao Hong said with some displeasure.
"No, this old man means nothing of the sort." Elder Ning Shuang knew that Zhao Hong and Wang Qiang were Chu Feng's friends and didn't want to offend them. He hurriedly explained with a smile.
"Then what's with that surprised expression?" Zhao Hong pressed, unwilling to let it go.
"Young friends, please don't misunderstand — it truly isn't that I look down on you. It's just that the ruins are far too dangerous right now. They're not something ordinary people can explore."
"All of our Luo Xia Valley and Three Star Hall people have already pulled out. The only reason this old man is still here is to wait for Yiyi and the others to regroup, after which I plan to withdraw from this place as well," Elder Ning Shuang said.
"Hehe, no, no… to be honest with you, Senior, the thing we're least… least afraid of is danger," Wang Qiang said with a smug look on his face.
"If you truly insist on going in, I suppose I can't stop you. However, since my Luo Xia Valley once entered those ruins, I do know a thing or two about the situation inside. Would you be willing to hear me out?" Elder Ning Shuang said.
"Please, Senior, go ahead," Chu Feng said politely.
"As far as I know, four first-tier powers — the Sword-wielding Immortal Gate, the Buddha Light Heavenly Temple, the Zhou Heavenly Clan, and the Kong Heavenly Clan — have already dispatched peak Martial Ancestor experts to charge into the deepest part of the ruins."
"And the Buddha Light Heavenly Temple even sent a True Immortal-level powerhouse."
"Furthermore, it is said that even the long-retired Prophecy Master has been invited by the Kong Heavenly Clan and is now also deep within those ruins," Elder Ning Shuang said.
"The Prophecy Master?" Hearing this, quite a few people present were taken aback, because when it came to the situation inside the ruins, they didn't really know all that much.
"What kind of person is this Prophecy Master?" Chu Feng asked curiously, because from the reactions of the crowd, he could tell that this Prophecy Master seemed to be of enormous origin — an extraordinary figure indeed.
"The Prophecy Master is a legendary figure of our Hundred Refinements Ordinary Realm. He can predict many things, and nearly every prediction he has made has come true thus far."
