"Heh..."
"So this is your real reason for coming here?"
Long Xiaoxiao had noticed that it was poison, but showed little reaction, as if she had long anticipated this.
Or perhaps, having endured too many terrible things, she felt no surprise at her father's actions.
"Xiaoxiao, don't worry. Lord Shengguang Yunyue said this medicine won't take your life—it will only make you more obedient."
"As long as your marriage to Shengguang Jiahao proceeds smoothly, they will detoxify you."
With that, Clan Master Long walked toward Long Xiaoxiao, poison in hand.
And Long Xiaoxiao showed no intent to resist. She had already accepted her fate.
Snap— But suddenly, Clan Master Long's advance was halted.
The wrist holding the poison was frozen in place.
Clan Master Long could feel that someone had grabbed his wrist.
But who could it be?
To appear here without him noticing at all?
This not only shocked Clan Master Long, but a trace of fear also appeared in his eyes.
Before he could speak, Chu Feng's voice rang out.
"Clan Master Long, you truly are devoid of all conscience—worse than a beast."
"For the so-called safety of the Long Clan, you would actually poison your own daughter with your own hands."
As Chu Feng's voice sounded, his figure materialized.
"Chu Feng???"
Seeing Chu Feng, the shock in Clan Master Long's eyes deepened.
But compared to her father, Long Xiaoxiao was even more startled. She quickly turned away, covering her face with her hands.
However, Long Xiaoxiao soon seemed to remember something.
Instead of fleeing as she had wanted, she bravely looked at Chu Feng and shouted, "Chu Feng, run!!!"
"Run?"
Hearing the word "run," Clan Master Long seemed to recall something. His gaze turned cold, and he spoke viciously.
"Young friend Chu Feng, forgive me."
Before his words even finished, the pressure of his Third Rank Martial Venerable cultivation was already unleashed, forming a barrier that trapped Chu Feng in place.
Crackling— But then, lightning flashed.
BOOM— The next instant, Clan Master Long was sent flying like an arrow released from a bow.
The tremendous force sent him crashing hard into the wall.
The impact was devastating. Every bone in Clan Master Long's body was shattered.
But he couldn't even spare a thought for wailing. Instead, he stared wide-eyed at Chu Feng.
Looking at Chu Feng—with lightning runes surging and thunder armor draped over his shoulders—Clan Master Long unconsciously rubbed his eyes.
"Who... who are you really?"
Clan Master Long asked.
He refused to believe it—refused to believe that the person before him was the Chu Feng he knew.
The last time he had parted ways with Chu Feng, the young man had only been a Sixth Rank Supreme.
But this person before him, with both lightning runes and thunder armor activated simultaneously, had a cultivation that had reached the terrifying Fourth Rank Martial Venerable realm.
That was a full rank above his own.
Not just him—even the Hall Master of the Demon Beast Holy Sanctuary and the Patriarch of the Yu Heavenly Clan would be no match for this person.
Such cultivation, within the entire Shengguang Galaxy, meant that aside from those few great figures within the Shengguang Clan, there was likely no one who could stand against him.
How could this possibly be Chu Feng?
Chu Feng was still just a junior.
It had clearly not been long since they parted ways.
How could Chu Feng have grown to such heights in so short a time?
No matter how heaven-defying he was, he shouldn't have been able to reach this level.
"Clan Master Long, has your selfishness blinded you?"
"You can't even recognize who I am anymore?"
Chu Feng walked toward Clan Master Long, step by step.
"Chu Feng, you really are Chu Feng?"
"Chu Feng, listen to my explanation—I was forced into this."
Though Clan Master Long still didn't want to believe this was Chu Feng, he hurriedly tried to explain.
Because he could feel killing intent in Chu Feng's eyes.
He had to explain, or else... he might die.
But even as he explained, his hand quietly reached for the Universe Bag at his waist.
Without anyone noticing, he drew a talisman from the Universe Bag and immediately crushed it.
"Chu Feng, run!"
"Shengguang Yunyue is here too!"
Suddenly, Long Xiaoxiao shouted again.
"Run?"
"I'm afraid he won't get the chance."
