"You guessed correctly. I have already looked at this Mirror Pearl, and the surprise I personally prepared..."
"Has already been claimed." The Immortal Armament Villa Master said.
"Claimed? Someone actually managed to claim it? Who was it? How did they manage to do so?"
"Yes, Lord Villa Master, who exactly could possess such an ability?"
At that moment, the numerous elders of the Immortal Armament Villa all asked with eager curiosity.
They all knew what that surprise was.
It was that Spirit World Beast.
And so they all knew just how difficult that Spirit World Beast was to deal with.
If someone could defeat that Spirit World Beast, it would be equivalent to claiming first place in this hunting competition.
"I had only just come out of seclusion, so I was unable to see how he defeated that Spirit World Beast."
"However, from the discussions of others, I have learned that it was a young man named Chu Feng who accomplished it." The Immortal Armament Villa Master said.
"Chu Feng? Could it be that he too is a member of the Chu Heavenly Clan?" At that moment, the red-haired elder asked.
At the same time, the eyes of everyone else present also lit up with a peculiar gleam.
From the exchange between the Immortal Armament Villa Master and the red-haired elder, it was clear to all that anyone capable of defeating that Spirit World Beast and obtaining the so-called surprise was absolutely no ordinary individual.
If this Chu Feng was also a member of the Chu Heavenly Clan, then it would mean that yet another remarkable figure had emerged among the younger generation of the Chu Heavenly Clan this year.
"That is not the case." The Immortal Armament Villa Master shook his head, then turned his gaze toward Chu Xianshuo and said: "Young friend Chu Xianshuo, it seems that this time, you have encountered a worthy rival."
At that moment, Chu Xianshuo's expression turned rather unsightly. Then, he extended his palm, and a brilliant radiance blazed forth from its center.
It was the power of an Immortal-level formation, and moreover, it was of the Snake Pattern rank.
"A Snake Pattern rank Immortal Robe Spirit World Master — Young Master Chu Xianshuo is truly formidable!"
Seeing the formation power emanating from Chu Xianshuo, the onlookers showered him with praise.
Yet Chu Xianshuo paid no heed to those who praised him.
The formation power he released flowed from his palm and quickly coalesced into a formation array.
And that formation array outlined a portrait — and that portrait was none other than Chu Feng.
"Immortal Armament Villa Master, is this the Chu Feng you spoke of?" Chu Xianshuo asked the Villa Master.
"That is indeed the person. Could it be that Young Master Chu Xianshuo knows him?" the Villa Master asked.
"Heh heh..."
At that moment, Chu Xianshuo let out a cold laugh before speaking:
"Know him? Of course I know him. This man was previously disrespectful to me, and I beat him like a dog until he knelt on the ground and begged me for mercy."
"I was merciful enough to let him go. I never expected that he would dare be so brazen — using the power of formations inside the hunting grounds to cause trouble for my Chu Heavenly Clan."
"He is truly courting death."
Chu Xianshuo said through gritted teeth.
Hearing Chu Xianshuo's words, the onlookers were all stunned.
None of them had expected that the person called Chu Feng was not only not a member of the Chu Heavenly Clan, but that he also had such a massive grudge against Chu Xianshuo.
Inwardly, they all broke into a cold sweat on Chu Feng's behalf.
After all, anyone who offended the Chu Heavenly Clan was bound to suffer terribly.
"Young friend Chu Xianshuo, you haven't viewed the Mirror Pearl to see the situation inside the hunting grounds either, so how could you know that Chu Feng... caused trouble for your Chu Heavenly Clan juniors?" the Villa Master asked.
"A guess." Chu Xianshuo said.
"A pity, but your guess was wrong." The Villa Master said: "Although I too was unable to witness it firsthand, from the accounts of your Chu Heavenly Clan juniors as well as others, I have also learned that it was your Chu Heavenly Clan juniors who provoked the situation first — only to be taught a lesson by Chu Feng."
"You—" At that moment, Chu Xianshuo's expression turned extremely ugly, a flash of fury surfacing on his face.
The Chu Heavenly Clan juniors had openly declared before entering that they intended to find trouble with Chu Feng — how could he not know what had transpired?
