"That's right, they are martial geniuses."
"Martial geniuses are an unreasonable existence. In an incredibly short time, they can cultivate to a level of strength that ordinary people might never reach in their entire lifetimes."
"The world only knows that Chu Xuanyuan is the number one genius of the Great Thousand Upper Realm, but they've forgotten that Chu Xuan Zhengfa, who is of the same generation as Chu Xuanyuan, is also a rare genius of the Great Thousand Upper Realm."
"Remember this: the fact that Chu Xuan Zhengfa has ascended to the position of Vice Hall Master of the Chu Heavenly Clan's Punishment Hall at such a young age is not without reason."
As the Ghost Sect Hall Master spoke those words, a faint smile hung at the corners of his lips. It was clear that, unlike the others, he held tremendous confidence in Chu Xuan Zhengfa.
However, even after hearing so much from Chu Xuan Zhengfa, Xia Yun'er still felt a trace of worry.
That couldn't be blamed on her. Witnessing a battle of this caliber from such close range, it was truly impossible not to feel anxious.
"Little girl, weren't you quite opposed to young friend Chu Feng before? How is it that you're so concerned about him now?"
At that moment, a secret voice transmission entered Xia Yun'er's ears.
She turned to look, and Elder Xingyi was gazing at her with a smile, that smile carrying a hint of teasing.
"After getting to know him, I found he's not so bad. Besides, he is Senior Chu Xuanyuan's son. Senior Chu Xuanyuan is the goal I chase, the person I admire," Xia Yun'er said.
"Haha." Hearing her words, Elder Xingyi's smile deepened.
"Elder Xingyi, aren't you worried about Chu Feng? Don't you think highly of him?"
Seeing that Elder Xingyi appeared completely unfazed — in fact, quite relaxed — Xia Yun'er couldn't help but ask.
"Remember what I told you before? About that Venerable realm expert secretly protecting young friend Chu Feng?" Elder Xingyi asked.
"I remember," Xia Yun'er said.
"Little girl, let me tell you clearly — that person's aura is different from Chu Xuan Zhengfa's, and moreover… that person's aura surpasses Chu Xuan Zhengfa's. It also surpasses Yuwen Huazang's," Elder Xingyi transmitted telepathically.
Hearing this, Xia Yun'er's eyes lit up with sudden understanding. She finally realized why Elder Xingyi was so unconcerned, why he wasn't particularly worried about Chu Feng.
Elder Xingyi's meaning was clear — that mysterious Venerable expert secretly guarding Chu Feng possessed strength that exceeded Yuwen Huazang's.
And that person was surely still watching over Chu Feng from the shadows. With her there… Chu Feng would naturally be fine.
At that moment, the worry weighing on Xia Yun'er's heart eased considerably.
She could finally appreciate this battle the way the other spectators did.
"Is it… over?"
But when she turned her gaze once more toward the battlefield where Yuwen Huazang and Chu Xuan Zhengfa clashed, she was stunned to discover that the thunderous booms had ceased and the shockwaves no longer erupted.
This meant that their battle had come to an end.
"It ended so quickly? Who won?"
The crowd in the distance had also noticed this change. Some of the bolder ones began to fly toward Yuwen Huazang and Chu Xuan Zhengfa's direction.
