"It's nothing. I just took a forbidden pill earlier and forcefully activated a secret technique I couldn't control, so I suffered a backlash."
"I already took healing medicine. I just need to rest a while." Chu Feng said.
"If it's a backlash, resting alone won't be enough. Master should immediately treat the injuries." The mysterious person said.
"It seems the two seniors have something to discuss with me." Chu Feng looked toward Kong Yuehua and Kong Shunlian.
"Chu Feng, you should treat your injuries first. The pain of a backlash is no trivial matter — if it worsens, it could cost you your life. And you also took a forbidden pill." Kong Shunlian said.
"You should treat your injuries first." Kong Yuehua echoed.
"Then I'll trouble the three seniors to wait a moment."
Seeing this, Chu Feng wasted no more time. He quickly sat cross-legged and set up a grand healing formation, enveloping himself within it.
In truth, the backlash Chu Feng suffered this time was far more severe than when he had fought Li Yue'er previously.
Setting aside the fact that Chu Feng had taken forbidden pills, the very power he used to activate the Ancient Battle Sword this time was far more formidable.
So the backlash was naturally much worse, and combined with the backlash from three forbidden pills, the pain Chu Feng was experiencing now was truly beyond what an ordinary person could endure.
It was only thanks to Chu Feng's extraordinary willpower. If it were anyone else, that pain surging from within — as though the flesh was about to shatter and the soul about to disintegrate — would have long since rendered them unconscious.
…………
Though the backlash was indeed severe, Chu Feng was, after all, a Snake-pattern Celestial Robe Spirit World Master.
Relying on both healing pills and barrier formations in a two-pronged approach, he quickly alleviated the backlash pain and ultimately resolved the crisis.
Of course, because this backlash had struck more violently, the time required to resolve it was naturally much longer than last time.
When Chu Feng dissolved the formation, he found that Kong Lianshun, Kong Yuehua, and the mysterious person were still standing in place.
"Why exactly did the two seniors ask me to come here? How is Zhao Hong now...?" Chu Feng asked.
Upon seeing Kong Yuehua and Kong Shunlian, Chu Feng could tell that the hostility of these two Supreme Elders of the Kong Celestial Clan toward him did not seem all that great.
But Chu Feng still cared deeply about Zhao Hong's safety.
"Let's talk somewhere else." Kong Yuehua and Kong Shunlian said, and as they spoke, they continued on their way.
"Master, it's fine. Just follow me." The mysterious person said to Chu Feng.
And Chu Feng could tell that this mysterious person's appearance here was no coincidence — he had likely been with Kong Yuehua and Kong Shunlian beforehand.
Moreover, though Chu Feng didn't know who this mysterious person was, judging by the way he carried himself, if any danger arose, he would definitely protect Chu Feng.
With him around, the unease in Chu Feng's heart diminished somewhat.
Finally, Kong Shunlian and Kong Yuehua came to a stop in the middle of a desert.
"Here?"
Arriving at this place, Chu Feng's expression changed immediately.
He sensed that this desert was quite different, so he activated his Heavenly Eye and began to observe carefully.
And the more he observed, the more alarmed Chu Feng became — this was a burial ground.
Despite the special concealment, through the observation method of his Heavenly Eye, Chu Feng quickly confirmed that beneath this desert, there should be a burial ground or treasure trove.
And judging by the scale, this burial ground was extremely dangerous — and the more dangerous a burial ground was, the greater the opportunities within it tended to be.
"Wow, what incredible luck! There's actually a treasure trove like this here!" The Queen was delighted.
"I'm afraid it won't be that simple." Chu Feng shook his head, then looked toward Kong Shunlian and Kong Yuehua. He knew that Kong Shunlian and Kong Yuehua would not have brought him here without reason.
They certainly had their own purposes.
"Chu Feng, we trust you've already figured it out." Kong Shunlian and Kong Yuehua said to Chu Feng together.
"Seniors, what exactly are you...?" Chu Feng was somewhat confused, not understanding what their purpose was.
"First, I want to make one thing clear to you. Although my Kong Celestial Clan was not exterminated by your own hands, it was ultimately connected to you."
"And two years ago, you did indeed go on a killing spree within my Kong Celestial Clan. The number of people from my Kong Celestial Clan who died at your hands was not small."
