"Chu Feng! The Yuwen City is your sworn enemy!!!"
"We will make you pay in blood!!!"
Suddenly, an elder of Yuwen City let out a roar brimming with killing intent.
At that moment, everyone realized that Yuwen City was not joking. After all, Yuwen Tingyi was the young city master of Yuwen City — his status was no ordinary one.
However, Chu Feng had no knowledge of what was happening outside.
After the people from the Immortal Armament Manor had departed, Chu Feng did not leave either. Instead, he sat cross-legged on the ground, deep in thought.
"Trying to find more Insect Marrows at this point is probably already too late. Chu Feng, what's your plan now?" the Queen asked.
"It is too late. The number of Insect Marrows is limited. I've already captured almost all there were. Even if I went searching again, there's no way I'd manage to catch enough. Otherwise, Xia Yun'er wouldn't have demanded that I hand over the ones I'd caught," Chu Feng said.
"Then you think there's still a chance?" the Queen asked.
"I can't say for sure. I'm just not willing to give up just like that. Perhaps… there's still another way."
As he spoke, Chu Feng took out all the purple gems he had gathered along the way and laid them out on the ground.
He stared at the purple gems, studying them for quite some time, but still failed to discover anything special about them.
With the day nearly over and the Burial Spirit Pool about to erupt, Chu Feng was growing increasingly impatient.
Suddenly, he shot to his feet and extended his palm. A blade of formation power materialized from his palm and extended outward.
Then, Chu Feng swung the formation blade at the purple gems scattered on the ground.
Swish, swish— The blade swept through the air as purple fragments scattered. The once-intact purple gems were sliced into piece after piece by Chu Feng.
"Chu Feng, what are you doing?"
"Please, calm down, alright? You said it yourself — in this vast Upper Realm, there are surely other opportunities. Even if we miss this one, there'll be a next time."
Seeing this, the Queen assumed Chu Feng had been pushed too far and was venting his frustration. She hurriedly tried to talk him down, genuinely worried something might happen to him.
"Heh heh…" Hearing the Queen speak, Chu Feng didn't just stop — he actually laughed.
At the sound of his laughter, a look of confusion appeared in the Queen's beautiful eyes.
Because from the sound of it, Chu Feng didn't seem angry or anxious at all. On the contrary, he sounded relaxed.
"Don't worry, Egg. I'm not venting. I just thought of a very foolish method," Chu Feng said.
"A very foolish method? What kind of method is it? Tell me about it," the Queen asked.
"If we gather enough Insect Marrows, they can form a compass that guides us to the Burial Spirit Pool."
"I'm thinking that maybe if we gather enough of these gems, they could also guide me to the Burial Spirit Pool," Chu Feng said.
"Oh, I get it now! Because the number of those purple trees is limited, there's no way you can collect a complete set of gems. So instead, you're planning to split these gems into the required number of pieces."
The Queen said this with a smile. She laughed because Chu Feng's method was indeed rather foolish, yet at the same time, she felt it might actually work.
