"Qingyu Fengming, silence!" However, Qingyu Dong had no intention of punishing Chu Feng on behalf of Qingyu Fengming. Instead, after reprimanding Qingyu Fengming, he turned his gaze toward Chu Feng.
But before Qingyu Fengming could even open his mouth, Chu Feng cut in.
"I know what you want to say, so there's no need to say it. Today, I must punish Qingyu Fengming. Otherwise... I won't be able to face my Sister Shuangshuang."
Hearing these words, Chu Shuangshuang tensed up.
Despite the torment she had endured at Qingyu Fengming's hands, she had indeed felt deeply wronged.
However, she didn't want Chu Feng to offend the Azure Feather Demon Clan—a powerful force—on her account.
So she wanted to tell Chu Feng to let the matter go. There was no need to pursue it any further.
But when Chu Shuangshuang tried to speak, she was stunned to find that she couldn't utter a word.
It was Chu Feng. He had already restrained her with his oppressive aura, not allowing her to speak or to intervene. Right now, all Chu Shuangshuang could do was stand there and watch Chu Feng do as he pleased.
"Young miss, do you truly wish to treat others as they have treated you?"
At that moment, Qingyu Dong shifted his gaze to Chu Shuangshuang.
He knew well that convincing Chu Feng would be difficult, but convincing Chu Shuangshuang would be far easier.
Yet to his surprise, after he spoke, Chu Shuangshuang not only didn't respond but maintained her composure, as though she had absolutely no interest in acknowledging him.
This made Qingyu Dong frown. He truly hadn't expected that the Chu Clan—a force with virtually no presence in the Ancestral Martial Cultivation Realm—would have clan members this resolute.
But how could he know that Chu Shuangshuang wanted to answer him but simply couldn't? She was truly suffering in silence.
"Qingyu Dong, I have no interest in wasting words with you. I only want to tell you this: although none of you laid a hand on my Sister Shuangshuang, your failure to help when she was in danger makes you accomplices all the same."
"However, considering your decent attitude, I won't hold you accountable today. But Qingyu Fengming's actions—he will pay the price."
"I'm only going to ask you one thing: do you truly intend to stop me?" Chu Feng asked.
"Young Master Chu Feng, I truly have no desire to be your enemy. But Fengming is my own cousin, bound by the ties of blood. I cannot simply stand aside," Qingyu Dong replied.
"In that case, forgive my discourtesy."
As he spoke, Chu Feng drew an Immortal Weapon from his Universe Bag.
The moment the weapon was in his grasp, Chu Feng once again gained the power to fight one rank above.
With his God-level Thunder Mark, his Secret Technique Fusion, and the power of this Immortal Weapon...
Chu Feng was not merely a Ninth-rank Heavenly Immortal—he also commanded the power to fight two ranks above.
A Chu Feng this powerful—let alone Qingyu Dong who hadn't released his bloodline power, even if he had, he would have been no match for Chu Feng whatsoever.
"Young Master Chu Feng, you—!!!"
Upon seeing that Chu Feng could actually wield an Immortal Weapon, Qingyu Dong's face changed drastically, his eyes filling with utter shock.
Although he had long known that Chu Feng was no ordinary individual, no one had ever told him exactly what abilities Chu Feng possessed.
Now he knew. But by the time he learned, it was already too late.
