"Chu Feng, if you dare lay a hand on my grandson, I will make you die alongside him!"
Without warning, the furious voice of an elder erupted from the formation shrouding Shura Zhao Kun.
It was Zhao Kuangfengyi — Shura Zhao Kun's grandfather.
Zhao Kuangfengyi had remained silent up to this point, not wishing to interfere with the competition between the younger generation.
But now that his grandson's very life was at stake, as a grandfather, he simply could not stand by and do nothing.
Yet the moment Zhao Kuangfengyi spoke, the ancient war sword hovering above Chu Feng's head transformed into a golden light and arrived before Shura Zhao Kun.
The blade was aimed directly at Shura Zhao Kun's skull.
It loomed like a great mountain, and the instant it descended, Shura Zhao Kun would be utterly crushed to dust.
"If your grandson makes even one more move, you will find out whether I, Chu Feng, truly dare or not."
Chu Feng spoke.
"You…!"
Outside the Inheritance Cave, Zhao Kuangfengyi's aged face contorted with even greater fury.
A junior, daring to speak to him like this — this was a complete show of disrespect.
How could Zhao Kuangfengyi tolerate such insolence?
"Brother Zhao, this Chu Feng has always been a man who says what he means and does what he says. Don't provoke him, or else he… will really go through with it."
At that moment, Elder Xing Yi stepped forward with a warning.
It was well-intentioned, for he knew Chu Feng's temperament — this was someone who, when angered, feared not even the King of Heaven himself.
Moreover, this was the first time he had ever seen Chu Feng this furious, so he was nearly certain that if Zhao Kuangfengyi continued to provoke him, Shura Zhao Kun's life would be forfeit.
"That's right, Grandmaster Zhao. Chu Feng is truly someone who fears nothing under heaven. He not only killed the young city lord of Yuwen City, but he even crippled Han Yu's cultivation — and he did it right in front of the elders of Sword King City."
Following Elder Xing Yi's words, other elders from the Starfall Holy Land also offered their warnings.
They did not know Chu Feng particularly well, but they had all heard the tales of his exploits.
Hearing everyone's counsel, no matter how unwilling Zhao Kuangfengyi was, he said nothing more.
The truth was, he was afraid — more afraid than anyone. Afraid that Chu Feng would truly kill Shura Zhao Kun.
After all, no matter how important face was, it could not compare to his grandson's life.
With that thought, he fell silent, resolving inwardly that he would settle the score with Chu Feng once the young man emerged from the Inheritance Cave.
Inside the Inheritance Cave, the younger generation watched as Shura Zhao Kun's grandfather finally fell silent, and they gained an even deeper appreciation for how formidable Chu Feng truly was.
If even an elder had been rendered powerless, then Shura Zhao Kun — well, he didn't dare utter a single word either.
He was truly terrified. He genuinely believed that Chu Feng was going to kill him.
"Chu Feng, I was only trying to frighten her — I never actually intended to do anything. You didn't have to go this far, did you?"
At last, Shura Zhao Kun spoke, though his words were an unmistakable display of cowardice.
But even this obvious capitulation from Shura Zhao Kun was not enough to satisfy Chu Feng.
"I already told you. If there is a next time, I will make you perish here."
With that, Chu Feng withdrew his ancient war sword and the lightning patterns above his head.
In truth, with his strength, dealing with Shura Zhao Kun hardly required such measures.
But precisely because Chu Feng had unleashed his full power from the very first move, everyone could sense just how serious he was.
At this moment, all eyes turned toward the Queen.
Xia Yun'er, in particular, looked at the Queen with an even more complicated expression.
They had all realized that this world spirit from the Shura Spirit World was no ordinary being to Chu Feng.
The relationship between the two of them was far from a simple master-servant bond.
"Now that the inheritance points have been opened, let us allow the world spirits to enter and cultivate."
