"No one can subdue it? Not even Senior Zhan Haichuan?" Chu Feng asked.
"Even Lord Zhan Haichuan was unable to subdue the Ancient War Sword," Zhan Lingtong said.
Chu Feng inhaled sharply through his teeth, even he couldn't help it.
Zhan Haichuan was universally recognized as the strongest cultivator of the Hundred Refinements Ordinary World in recent tens of thousands of years.
Even Master Kai Hong had once ruled over the Hundred Refinements Ordinary World, yet his standing in people's hearts still fell short of Zhan Haichuan's.
That alone proved Zhan Haichuan's strength was no empty reputation.
Yet the secret technique known as the Ancient War Sword — even Zhan Haichuan couldn't subdue it.
That only made this secret technique seem all the more formidable.
"Chu Feng, opportunity has arrived. Since no one has subdued this secret technique, why don't you go claim it?" Her Majesty said with great excitement, as if she had just discovered another treasure.
"My Queen, that is a treasure of the Ancient War Clan. I'm afraid even if I want it, they wouldn't let me have it," Chu Feng said.
"Then just take it by force," Her Majesty said.
At those words, Chu Feng simply smiled and gave no real answer.
He knew Egg's personality all too well — as long as it benefited Chu Feng, that was all that mattered. Whether others lived or died, Egg couldn't care less.
But Chu Feng had no grudge against the Ancient War Clan, so he would never steal their possessions without cause.
Even though hearing about the power of the Ancient War Sword had stirred his heart, he absolutely would not resort to forcibly seizing the Ancient War Clan's secret technique because of it.
That simply wasn't Chu Feng's way.
"Brother, I'm truly curious — what exactly is the background of your Ancient War Clan?"
Chu Feng asked. By now, he could almost certainly conclude that the Ancient War Clan was no ordinary force. They had to be of extraordinary origin.
"Big Brother, I won't hide it from you. Our Ancient War Clan is actually very powerful. We were passed down from the ancient era and have endured to this day," Zhan Lingtong said.
"Then you know about things from the ancient era?" Chu Feng pressed.
What had actually happened during the ancient era — that was one of the things Chu Feng was most curious about.
Yet to this question, Zhan Lingtong shook his head. "We are merely a branch of the Ancient War Clan. Regarding the clan's affairs, even we ourselves don't know much. You can probably tell that we're trapped here."
"I see."
Now Chu Feng understood. Just as he had guessed, the Ancient War Clan was indeed powerful — perhaps a colossal existence that stood tall across the vast starry sky.
Even his own family, the Chu Heavenly Clan, would pale in comparison.
As for this particular branch of the Ancient War Clan, their situation was probably not unlike Chu Feng's own — unable to return home, and most likely never having received the clan's true legacy.
Otherwise, how could they be so weak?
"Big Brother, are there many strong cultivators in the Hundred Refinements Ordinary World?" Zhan Lingtong asked.
"I thought you didn't believe I was from the Hundred Refinements Ordinary World?" Chu Feng said with a smile.
"I was blind before. But I've seen your strength. In this Ancient War Domain, aside from my own Ancient War Clan's people, there's no way any human cultivator could possess cultivation like yours. So I believe you must be from the Hundred Refinements Ordinary World," Zhan Lingtong said.
"Glad to see you're not completely stupid," Chu Feng chuckled.
After that, Chu Feng told Zhan Lingtong some things about himself and the Hundred Refinements Ordinary World.
Naturally, that included Zhan Haichuan's many heroic deeds in the Hundred Refinements Ordinary World.
Hearing that his predecessor had remained undefeated among the countless experts of the Hundred Refinements Ordinary World left Zhan Lingtong even more thrilled.
The two continued chatting, but Chu Feng never slowed his pace. Before long, he arrived at the place where Zhan Lingtong's beloved lived.
As expected, it had already been occupied by the Ancient Demon Clan. Everyone with cultivation above the Martial Emperor realm had been captured and sent to the mining district as slaves.
The ones left behind were all the old, the young, the sick, and the disabled. Fortunately, however, Zhan Lingtong's beloved was still there, safe and unharmed.
After discussing matters with Zhan Lingtong, Chu Feng immediately decided to take all of them away.
