At this moment, two figures were rapidly making their way toward Luoxia Valley.
One was old and one was young. The elder had white hair and was nearly ten thousand years old — an ancient monster still living in the world.
The young woman, on the other hand, was indeed a junior. Though she was a junior, she was already of considerable age.
Yet her appearance was still that of a young and beautiful girl, brimming with youthful vitality.
Most remarkably, her gaze truly shone with the clarity and purity of a young girl — not the slightest hint of falseness.
Moreover, this clarity did not appear to be a pretense. It truly belonged to her.
The two of them were not from Luoxia Valley, nor did they have any connection to it. The reason they were heading there so urgently was because of a single person — Chu Feng.
They were both people who greatly admired Chu Feng.
"Master, do you think Chu Feng is really still alive?" the woman asked the elder. When she spoke of this, her eyes were filled with worry, as though she deeply feared her Master would give her a negative answer.
"On the day Chu Feng battled the Kong Heavenly Clan, I was present."
"That day, Chu Feng was truly unmatched — there was no one who could rival him."
"In all my years traveling the Hundred Refinements Realm, I have never seen a king's bearing like Chu Feng's."
"In my view, it was Chu Feng who showed mercy to the Kong Heavenly Clan. Otherwise, the Kong Heavenly Clan would have perished long ago. Tell me — how could such a powerful Chu Feng possibly be dead?" the elder said.
"If that's the case, then Chu Feng really isn't dead?" At this, the woman's eyes filled with joy. She then asked, "Master, do you think Chu Feng will come to answer the challenge?"
Hearing this, the elder fell silent.
He had come here because several days ago, he had received news.
Chu Luxuan intended to attack Luoxia Valley, capture everyone within, and challenge Chu Feng to a battle.
If Chu Feng cared about the safety of the people of Luoxia Valley, he would come to Luoxia Valley and fight Chu Luxuan.
If Chu Feng won, Chu Luxuan would stop hassling Chu Feng and release everyone from Luoxia Valley.
If Chu Feng lost, Chu Luxuan would still not harm Chu Feng — he would only give Chu Feng a choice.
A choice between life and death...
Either Chu Feng chose to die, or Chu Feng chose to live.
But the price of Chu Feng living was that he would have to personally kill every single person from Luoxia Valley.
"Chu Feng is a man who values loyalty and righteousness. I believe that once he hears the news, he will definitely come."
"It's just that this Chu Luxuan could have challenged Chu Feng openly and honorably, yet he chose to use Luoxia Valley as leverage against Chu Feng."
"And he even spread the word that if Chu Feng lost, Chu Feng would have to choose between life and death. It just goes to show — this Chu Luxuan's character is truly lacking," the elder said.
"Indeed. If Chu Feng truly lost and chose to die, everything would be over. But if he had to kill the people of Luoxia Valley with his own hands, his reputation would be utterly destroyed. That would be a fate worse than death."
"But Master, who do you think is stronger — Chu Luxuan or Chu Feng? After all, Chu Luxuan is a prodigy of the Chu Heavenly Clan. No one yet knows the true extent of his strength," the woman asked.
"No matter how powerful Chu Luxuan is, could he stand against the Kong Heavenly Clan single-handedly?" the elder replied with a knowing smile.
"I don't think he could," the woman said with a sweet smile.
"Then there's your answer. If Chu Feng truly comes, you'll see what kind of man he is."
"He will surely not let you down." As the elder spoke these words, a deep look of anticipation surfaced in his eyes.
