"You actually hid your cultivation. You truly are despicable."
Qingyu Fengming, pinned to the ground under oppressive force, let out an unwilling roar of fury.
He felt he had been deceived — thoroughly fooled by Chu Feng.
It was precisely because Chu Feng had concealed his cultivation earlier that Qingyu Fengming had let his guard down.
That was why he had been so loudly proclaiming he would teach Chu Feng a lesson, only to be forced to his knees by Chu Feng in the blink of an eye, unable to stand.
Right now, he felt he had lost every shred of face, and it was all thanks to Chu Feng. His hatred for Chu Feng truly ran to the bone.
But what he did not know was that Chu Feng had not been hiding his cultivation — rather, within this brief span of time, he had broken through two consecutive minor realms.
And the reason Chu Feng had been able to advance so quickly was thanks to that immortal crystal ore the Azure Feather Demon Clan had been desperately searching for.
But Chu Feng couldn't be bothered to explain any of that to them, nor was there any need to tell them the truth. Let them think whatever they wanted — that wasn't the point. Chu Shuangshuang was the point.
So, after pinning Qingyu Fengming to the ground with his oppressive aura, Chu Feng crouched down and turned to activate the formation, continuing to treat Chu Shuangshuang's injuries.
This scene left the Azure Feather Demon Clan members looking utterly bewildered.
They couldn't understand — Chu Feng had already subdued Qingyu Fengming, yet despite all his talk of revenge, he hadn't immediately struck out at Qingyu Fengming.
And so the Azure Feather Demon Clan members watched on in confusion.
Even Qingyu Dong, whose cultivation had reached the Ninth Stage Heavenly Immortal realm, did not rashly intervene to free Qingyu Fengming.
Instead, he waited for Chu Feng, wanting to know what his true intentions were.
Finally, the gravely wounded Chu Shuangshuang began to show less pain on her face, and her tightly shut eyes slowly opened once more.
"Stop, stop…"
"I really didn't mean to — I didn't mean to trespass into your territory."
However, the moment Chu Shuangshuang woke, she immediately revealed an expression of sheer panic, even crying out in alarm. It was clear she had been truly terrified.
Seeing this, Chu Feng quickly pulled Chu Shuangshuang into his embrace and forcibly channeled his gentle energy into her body to calm her emotions.
"Sister Shuangshuang, don't be afraid. It's okay — it's over. Everything's over now."
As Chu Feng infused barrier energy into Chu Shuangshuang's body, he whispered words of comfort.
"Chu Feng… little brother? You came to save me?" After her emotions had calmed somewhat, Chu Shuangshuang finally realized that the one holding her tightly was Chu Feng.
