"Damn it, you dare to humiliate me? You're asking to die."
Being publicly humiliated by Chu Feng sent Ren Xiaoyao into a rage. Without warning, he released his own oppressive aura and surged it toward Chu Feng.
Although he hadn't formed a killing intent, he was clearly about to attack directly and teach Chu Feng a lesson.
Whoosh— But before Ren Xiaoyao's pressure could even reach Chu Feng, it was blocked by an even more powerful wave of pressure.
It was Song Yunfei. It was Song Yunfei's oppressive aura that had intercepted Ren Xiaoyao's.
At this moment, Song Yunfei's pressure practically filled the entire space.
Not only Ren Xiaoyao—virtually everyone present could feel just how powerful Song Yunfei's pressure was.
In that instant, Chu Feng's heart stirred. Having sensed Song Yunfei's pressure, he now knew with certainty that he was absolutely no match for Song Yunfei.
Yet precisely because of this, Chu Feng also realized that Song Yunfei's intervention wasn't simply about helping him out of an awkward situation.
Otherwise, there would have been no need to let everyone—even Chu Feng himself—feel the full weight of his aura.
So Song Yunfei's intention was simple: he wanted to establish his dominance.
He wanted everyone present to know that he, Song Yunfei, was the one in charge here.
Without his permission, no one could act recklessly in this place.
"Brother Xiaoyao, it's just a game. If you take it too seriously, you'll lose your standing."
Song Yunfei stared at Ren Xiaoyao, his words spoken in a calm tone, yet his eyes were razor-sharp.
And Ren Xiaoyao, despite his unwillingness, quickly regained his composure when he met Song Yunfei's piercing gaze. He withdrew his oppressive aura and fell silent.
At this point, the space was deathly quiet. No one spoke further, and the atmosphere became rather awkward.
Only Chu Feng seemed entirely unaffected as he collected all the treasures he had won from Ren Xiaoyao into his Universe Bag—including the pair of immortal weapons.
"Brother Xiaoyao, thank you." After pocketing the immortal weapons, Chu Feng cupped his fists toward Ren Xiaoyao.
The gesture might have appeared polite on the surface, but everyone understood that Chu Feng was deliberately provoking Ren Xiaoyao.
Sure enough, the moment Chu Feng spoke those words, Ren Xiaoyao's veins bulged with fury. But in the end, he held himself back. He shot Chu Feng a vicious glare, gave a cold snort, and turned his head away.
Seeing Ren Xiaoyao swallow his anger like that, Chu Feng felt increasingly pleased with himself, a sense of satisfaction swelling in his heart.
Who told Ren Xiaoyao to go out of his way to make things difficult for Chu Feng without any reason? Now he was reaping what he had sown—serves him right.
And Chu Feng knew that among everyone present, Ren Xiaoyao was far from the only one who couldn't stand him.
So he picked up the Seven-Colored Gu once more and swept his gaze across the crowd. "Is anyone else willing to play a round with me?"
"Brother Chu Feng, give it a rest. You've already figured out the secret of the Seven-Colored Gu—even shaking out a hundred Seven-Colored Beads is nothing to you. How could any of us possibly compete?"
Chu Feng's words drew bitter laughs from quite a few people.
After today's events, they had gotten a preliminary taste of just how frightening Chu Feng could be.
Setting everything else aside, his powers of comprehension alone were something none of them could hope to match.
"Actually, speaking of games, I happen to have a fun one in mind. I wonder if any of you would be interested in trying it." At that very moment, Xia Yun'er suddenly spoke up.
"Oh? Miss Xia has a fun game? What kind of game? How do you play it? Why don't you tell us about it?"
Xia Yun'er was, after all, a stunning beauty, and the gathering was predominantly male. The moment she spoke, the men practically tripped over themselves to approach and strike up a conversation.
Even Ren Xiaoyao, whose face was still ashen with rage and whose veins still bulged from suppressed fury, stepped forward to Xia Yun'er with a lecherous grin on his face.
"The Illusionary Secret Realm—have any of you heard of it?" Xia Yun'er asked.
