"Brother-in-law, don't do this. He's my savior. If it weren't for him... I probably wouldn't have made it back."
Seeing this, Zhan Lingtong blocked Chu Feng, trying desperately to mediate, fearing the two might come to blows.
"Lingtong, what did you just say? You were captured by the Ancient Demon Clan?"
Hearing these words, Zhan Lingtong's brother-in-law's expression immediately changed. His anger visibly diminished, replaced by concern.
"That's right. I never expected the Ancient Demon Clan's patrols to be so tight. I was unlucky enough to be captured and taken to their mines as a slave."
"It's all thanks to this benefactor that I was saved. Otherwise... I'm afraid I would have worked myself to death in those mines." Zhan Lingtong said.
"You..."
*Sigh...*
"Lingtong, I'm not trying to lecture you, but you are the clan head's own son. Can't you be a little more careful?"
"Think about it — you ran off for the sake of some commoner. What would have happened if something truly terrible befell you?"
"Your sister, to save you, defied the clan head and all the elders, secretly leading a team out to search for you."
"You've returned, so perhaps no harm done. But when your sister comes back, she will be punished." At this, Zhan Lingtong's brother-in-law sighed again and again.
At this moment, both Chu Feng and Zhan Lingtong understood why his brother-in-law had been so furious. It turned out he was worried about his wife.
That was... actually understandable.
"Brother-in-law, I know you're worried about my sister, and so am I. But you know my sister's strength — she is the number one genius of our Ancient War Clan, with a cultivation at the Ninth-rank Half Ancestor level. She'll be fine." Zhan Lingtong said.
"Your sister's strength, I have no worries about." When it came to Zhan Lingtong's sister's cultivation, his brother-in-law actually showed a hint of pride.
"Brother-in-law, I went through countless hardships to bring Yue'er back. This time, no matter what, I'm bringing them back to the clan. Otherwise... I'd rather not return to the clan at all and just stay with Yue'er." Zhan Lingtong was quite clever; seeing his brother-in-law's mood improve, he quickly spoke up.
"Fine, I can't do anything with you. But I can only let you in. Whether he gets to stay in the clan — that will be for the clan head to decide." His brother-in-law said.
"In that case, everyone come out." As Chu Feng spoke, he waved his sleeve, and the space behind him rippled.
In the blink of an eye, tens of thousands of people appeared behind Chu Feng.
"What is this?!"
Seeing this scene, Zhan Lingtong's brother-in-law and the other Ancient War Clan guards all changed drastically in expression, their eyes filled with shock.
"Brother-in-law, they are all pitiful people. If left unattended, they'll only be enslaved by the Ancient Demon Clan. Let's take them in as well." Zhan Lingtong said.
"No, absolutely not!!!" Zhan Lingtong's brother-in-law said firmly.
"Why not? They were originally living within the Ancient War Clan's territory — they are the Ancient War Clan's subjects."
"When your subjects are in need, are you really going to stand by and do nothing?" Chu Feng couldn't hold back and spoke up.
"What do you know? This is the land of our Ancient War Clan. It is sacred ground — outsiders are not permitted to enter." Zhan Lingtong's brother-in-law said even more firmly.
"Sacred ground? Sacred ground has produced a bunch of heartless, self-righteous people like you?"
"Although I don't know much about the Ancient War Clan, I do know that you younger generation have thoroughly disgraced its name." Chu Feng said with righteous indignation.
"What did you say? You have the nerve to say that again?!" Zhan Lingtong's brother-in-law's face twisted with fury.
At the same time, the guards behind him actually drew their weapons. It was clear that Chu Feng's words had provoked them as well.
"Hmph." Chu Feng let out a light snort. In his eyes, these people were nothing but trash.
And in his experience, such trash always bullied the weak and feared the strong. In front of people like this, you absolutely could not show weakness — you had to teach them a lesson. Only by teaching them a lesson would they respect you and fear you.
