"Fine, very fine. As they say, those who walk different paths cannot make plans together."
"My views differ from those of the Ghost Spirit Hall. I'm afraid we won't be able to remain friends in the future."
Song Yunfei's face was already twisted with rage. No matter how deep his composure ran, he could no longer contain himself.
It was clear that the Ghost Spirit Hall Elder's decision had genuinely struck a nerve.
"Young friend Song Yunfei, your thoughts are your own matter. This is something our Ghost Spirit Hall cannot dictate," the Ghost Spirit Hall Elder said with a smile.
It seemed he had long anticipated this reaction from Song Yunfei, so not the slightest ripple of emotion showed on the old man's face.
"Very well. There will come a day when you regret what happened here."
Song Yunfei pointed at the Ghost Spirit Hall Elder as he spoke.
His words carried a deeper meaning.
He was telling the Ghost Spirit Hall Elder that the Ghost Spirit Hall would sooner or later regret choosing to befriend Chu Feng over him, Song Yunfei.
He, Song Yunfei, was absolutely superior to this Chu Feng.
"I have never regretted anything I've done," the Ghost Spirit Hall Elder replied with another smile.
"Hmph." Faced with the Ghost Spirit Hall Elder's resolute attitude, Song Yunfei's face turned green with fury, his entire body trembling.
Under these circumstances, he couldn't be bothered to exchange any more words. With a sweep of his large sleeve, he prepared to leave on the spot.
Before departing, however, he shot Chu Feng a venomous glare filled with menace.
It was as if he were telling Chu Feng — just you wait.
Yet when it came to that threatening gaze from Song Yunfei, Chu Feng simply offered a faint smile and said:
"I really did disappoint Brother Song today."
"Disappoint me? What do you mean by that?" Song Yunfei asked, clearly displeased.
"No need to spell it out. You should understand," Chu Feng said.
Understand? Of course Song Yunfei understood perfectly well.
Han Yu had been brought in by him to deal with Chu Feng, only to end up defeated by Chu Feng instead.
He had tried to use his own status to force the Ghost Spirit Hall to distance itself from Chu Feng, only to receive a firm response from the Ghost Spirit Hall instead.
Except that their firm response was to stand firmly with Chu Feng, not with him.
Song Yunfei had truly lost everything today. He had been thoroughly humiliated.
"The future is long. We'll see how things play out."
After saying these words, Song Yunfei turned and departed.
When the onlookers saw this scene unfold, it wasn't just the younger generation of geniuses who noticed — even many of the bystanders could tell that Song Yunfei harbored a deep hatred for Chu Feng and was clearly looking to make him an enemy.
Inevitably, some began to worry about Chu Feng.
Song Yunfei held a position of tremendous weight within the Starfall Holy Land — he was the future successor of that entire sacred ground!
Offending the Sword King's City perhaps meant little to Chu Feng, but could he truly afford to offend the Starfall Holy Land?
That was the most powerful colossus in the Great Thousand Upper Realm, second only to the Chu Heavenly Clan, a hegemon-level force.
But just as Song Yunfei had barely departed, the Starfall Holy Land's Saintess, Xia Yun'er, gracefully strode through the air and came to a stop before Chu Feng.
