At this moment, he probably wished he could die.
He had been so certain before, insisting that the anomaly wasn't caused by a Heaven-grade bloodline holder breaking through in cultivation.
Yet now, right in front of everyone, it had been confirmed that the anomaly was indeed triggered by someone's breakthrough—and that someone was none other than Chu Feng.
"Does that mean Brother Chu Feng broke through two whole levels in succession?"
"Could it be that you really found the Dark Current Immortal River?"
Suddenly, some people realized that Chu Feng's consecutive breakthroughs might be related to the Dark Current Immortal River.
"Brother Chu Feng did indeed find the Dark Current Immortal River." As Chu Ping spoke, he released his aura.
"The power of that Dark Current Immortal River was truly extraordinary. It actually allowed me, who had been stuck and unable to break through for so long, to make progress." Right after, Chu Huanyu also spoke up.
It seemed they wanted everyone to know what they had gained, so at this moment, Chu Ping, Chu Huanyu, Chu Haoyan, and even Chu Qing all released their auras without holding back.
Sensing that the auras of those four had advanced by a full grade, everyone was overcome with regret.
They truly wished they hadn't dismissed Chu Feng's words back then.
Otherwise, even if they couldn't have broken through in cultivation, the gains they received would still have been far greater than what they got by following Chu Hongyi.
At the same time, the gazes people directed at Chu Feng were filled with shame.
As the saying goes, adversity reveals true feelings. Today they had learned exactly who truly cared about them.
However, faced with the ashamed and grateful looks from the crowd, Chu Feng said nothing. Instead, he had Chu Ping and the others lead their clansmen back to their territory and find a place to hide first.
As for Chu Feng himself, he headed alone toward the Dongguo Heavenly Clan.
Due to the location of their territory, reaching the Dongguo Heavenly Clan meant passing through the lands of other forces.
When the Chu Heavenly Clan and the Dongguo Heavenly Clan had been on good terms, the Chu Heavenly Clan could freely travel through these forces' territories, and no one dared to stop them.
But things were different now. After the relationship between the Dongguo Heavenly Clan and the Chu Heavenly Clan had fallen apart, the Dongguo Heavenly Clan no longer permitted members of the Chu Heavenly Clan to set foot in their territory.
For anyone else, this would be an extremely dangerous path.
In the entire Chu Heavenly Clan, the only one who dared to do this was probably Chu Feng alone.
And because Chu Feng wanted to avoid unnecessary trouble, he concealed his aura and figure as he traveled.
So the journey passed without incident—those forces didn't even know Chu Feng had flown over their territories.
After a stretch of travel, Chu Feng finally entered the territory of the Dongguo Heavenly Clan.
In truth, as he passed through the other territories along the way, Chu Feng hadn't felt much of anything. But once he set foot in the Dongguo Heavenly Clan's domain, he truly understood why the Ancestral Martial Cultivation Realm was hailed as a sacred land for cultivation.
