Li Anzhi's words woke everyone present to the reality of their situation, and in an instant, panic set in.
They truly hadn't expected that after all the effort they had gone through to enter the Sacred Spirit Light Formation, they still wouldn't be able to cultivate in peace.
"Whether going back on one's word is acceptable depends entirely on who does it."
"Within the Ancestral Martial Cultivation Realm, if we broke our word, the Linghu Heavenly Clan could deal with us — because they have the strength to do so."
"But if the Linghu Heavenly Clan were the ones who broke their word, what could we do to them?"
"Are you still hoping that members of the Linghu Heavenly Clan would care about their reputation? That they would concern themselves with what others say?"
"If they truly cared about such things, they wouldn't have prevented us from entering the Sacred Spirit Light Formation in the first place — when we clearly had the right to do so," Li Anzhi said.
"Young Master Li, if what you say is true, then the Linghu Heavenly Clan will definitely make things difficult for us?"
"What are we going to do?"
"If it's a blessing, it's not a curse. If it's a curse, there's no dodging it," Li Anzhi said.
With those few simple words, he had already told everyone exactly how things stood. He was urging them to prepare themselves for the trouble the Linghu Heavenly Clan would bring.
But the others clearly had no desire to face the Linghu Heavenly Clan.
"Young Master Chu Feng, do you have any solution?"
In their panic, someone turned their gaze toward Chu Feng, and the moment that person spoke, every eye in the room followed suit.
Because at this point, the only person they could trust — and the only one with the ability to help them — was Chu Feng.
After all, it was Chu Feng who had summoned the Sacred Spirit Light Formation, Chu Feng who had broken through the Linghu Heavenly Clan's sealing formation, and Chu Feng who had led them inside.
Moreover, Chu Feng's cultivation was the strongest among everyone present.
A Ninth Stage Heavenly Immortal — that level of cultivation was enough to leave all others in the dust.
Among the Linghu Heavenly Clan's rising stars, there were undoubtedly some formidable ones as well. But the crowd felt that even they might not surpass Chu Feng.
In other words, everyone believed that Chu Feng had the power to protect them.
So they all felt that as long as Chu Feng was willing to help, perhaps they could weather this storm unscathed.
As for Chu Feng, he hadn't even been paying attention to what everyone was discussing. The question of whether the Linghu Heavenly Clan would act against them was something he had long since confirmed in his mind — it was bound to happen.
So, ever since entering the Sacred Spirit Light Formation, Chu Feng had turned his attention inward.
He had noticed that his body was undergoing a subtle change. A peculiar power had appeared inside him, and it had already begun to transform.
That power was connected to the Sacred Spirit Beast.
When Chu Feng had defeated the Sacred Spirit Beast, the beast's physical form had shattered, turning into countless streaks of light that surged back toward him. Those streaks of light had been bizarre — no matter what means Chu Feng employed, he found it nearly impossible to block them.
He could only watch helplessly as they approached the Blood Dragon, made contact with it, and most bizarrely of all, forcibly shattered the Blood Dragon to pieces. After breaking through the Blood Dragon, they had drilled straight into Chu Feng's body.
Fortunately, though those streaks of light were strange, they carried no destructive force whatsoever. They seemed to only have a disruptive effect on the Blood Dragon and had caused absolutely no damage to Chu Feng himself.
At the time, Chu Feng had carefully examined his body, found nothing out of the ordinary, and thought no more of it.
Yet now, after entering the Sacred Spirit Light Formation, his body was actually changing.
These changes were invisible from the outside, but Chu Feng could feel them himself — a power was gathering inside him. It was the power of the Sacred Spirit Beast.
This power, though connected to the Sacred Spirit Beast, was not the same formidable strength the beast had wielded in life.
