"I-I-I... just how much did the Firmament Immortal Sect manage to piss people off?"
"They died so... so horribly."
Wang Qiang clicked his tongue in amazement, though he said it with a grin.
Seeing Wang Qiang like this, Chu Feng let out a small smile as well.
Even though both of them had a decent relationship with Qin Xuan.
But one thing was one thing — with what the Firmament Immortal Sect had done, they had no sympathy for how things turned out.
Especially with a Sect Master like that, it was practically destined that the Firmament Immortal Sect would meet this end.
But what they needed to figure out right now was which force had done this.
After some observation, Chu Feng and the others quickly identified several key points.
The attackers hadn't just killed people — every forbidden zone within the Firmament Immortal Sect had been destroyed, and the treasures had been nearly stripped bare.
Not a single treasure remained on the dead, regardless of their cultivation level. Though their deaths were gruesome, every last treasure on their bodies had been thoroughly plundered.
Even their Origins had been completely stripped away.
Based on current observations, it appeared to be the work of the Monster Race or even Fierce Beasts, because every corpse bore marks of being torn apart by sharp claws and gnawed upon.
Even the Origins hadn't been taken by a formation — they had been directly devoured.
Judging by this method, the ones who destroyed the Firmament Immortal Sect were most likely not the same group that had wiped out the Immortal Sea Fish Clan.
Moreover, this massacre had happened not long ago — the blood was still fresh.
Chu Feng and the others were essentially among the first to discover this tragedy.
But it was precisely this that put the Totem Dragon Clan on high alert.
The timing was far too close — the perpetrators might not have left yet.
"Clan Chief?"
After a thorough investigation, the elders all turned their gazes toward the Totem Dragon Clan Chief.
They awaited his command.
"Retreat."
The Totem Dragon Clan leader decided to leave this place immediately.
Although they indeed wanted to destroy the Cangxian Immortal Sect, since they weren't the ones responsible for this, they naturally had no desire to shoulder the blame.
The Totem Dragon Clan leader decided to leave right away.
They also abandoned any plans to attack the Cangxian Immortal Sect's branch.
After all, all the real treasures were in the headquarters. Even if the branch had experts, they naturally couldn't compare to those at the headquarters.
As for whether those branches would be destroyed, the Totem Dragon Clan couldn't have cared less.
The Totem Dragon Clan leader ordered Long Xu and the others to return and reclaim all of the Totem Dragon Clan's territories, and issued orders to eliminate all traitors.
As for himself, he had no intention of returning. Instead, he brought Chu Feng, Wang Qiang, Bai Yunqing, Long Chengyu, and Long Muxi toward the Bloodline Galaxy.
For he had promised Chu Feng that he would help him find that Hidden World Spirit Master.
Thus, the Totem Dragon Clan army returned to the Totem Galaxy.
While Chu Feng and his group headed toward the Bloodline Galaxy.
Because there were far fewer of them now, they rode aboard a small boat.
Propelled by the Totem Dragon Clan leader, their speed was still incredibly fast.
Chu Feng, Wang Qiang, Long Chengyu, Long Muxi, and Bai Yunqing sat cross-legged on the deck.
"Brother, that doesn't seem like something the Human Race would do. Do you think it could... could be the work of the Ancient Races?"
Wang Qiang asked curiously.
When he spoke, not only did Long Chengyu and Long Muxi turn curious gazes toward Chu Feng—even the Totem Dragon Clan leader looked at Chu Feng with interest.
This had been carried out far too brutally. If the other party was merely seeking revenge, that would be one thing since it only targeted the Cangxian Immortal Sect.
But if they were doing it for plunder, then every major power in the vast Martial Cultivation World was actually in danger.
Although Chu Feng was a junior, they trusted his judgment more.
"Hard to say." Chu Feng shook his head, truly unable to be certain.
Although he had some guesses, he felt they were unlikely.
Everything continued as usual after that. After a stretch of travel, they finally arrived at a superior world within the Bloodline Galaxy.
"We're very close to Senior Ouyang's secluded dwelling now."
"Senior Ouyang has a somewhat eccentric temperament. Once we arrive, don't say a word—just follow my lead."
"Additionally, Chu Feng, you should also prepare yourself mentally — we might end up making this trip for nothing."
The Totem Dragon Clan's patriarch said.
"Father, didn't you say he has ties to our Totem Dragon Clan? Would he really not give you face?" Long Chengyu asked.
"We do have a history, but like I said, Senior Ouyang's temperament is rather eccentric."
"But it's fine, it doesn't hurt to try. Who knows, he might agree." The Totem Dragon Clan's patriarch said with a smile.
However, this last remark actually made Chu Feng and the others feel that the chances of success were truly slim.
Soon, a desolate mountain range came into view in the distance.
Though they were far away, with their level of cultivation, they could clearly see every detail of the mountains.
Atop a not-very-tall peak deep within the range stood a Daoist temple.
The temple was not large, and there was no protective formation around it — it simply stood there, exposed.
According to the Totem Dragon Clan's patriarch, this was where Ouyang Kongyu lived in seclusion.
Precisely because there was no protective formation, Chu Feng and the others didn't need any special methods — just by observing normally, they could see everything inside the temple.
There were only two people inside.
A teenager of about ten or so years old was practicing formation techniques.
The other was an aged Daoist, seated cross-legged within the hall.
Though his clothes were plain and his appearance ordinary, his aura was clearly extraordinary at a glance.
This person was none other than Ouyang Kongyu.
He detected the gazes of Chu Feng and the others, and opened his eyes.
In the next instant, he vanished from his spot.
When he reappeared, he was already standing right in front of Chu Feng.
"Greetings, Senior."
With a single look from the Totem Dragon Clan's patriarch, Chu Feng and the others followed his lead, bowing together to the elder.
After all, in terms of seniority, this man was undeniably an elder deserving of respect.
But Ouyang Kongyu appeared quite cold and indifferent. "Patriarch of the Totem Clan, what brings you here?"
"The reason is this, Senior — we would like to request your help with something. We need you to treat someone."
The Patriarch of the Totem Dragon Clan didn't beat around the bush and told Ouyang Kongyu about Chu Feng and Jia Lingyi's situation directly.
"Where is the person?" Ouyang Kongyu asked.
Not daring to delay, Chu Feng immediately pulled Jia Lingyi out of his Universe Bag.
"Fine, I'll give it a try," Ouyang Kongyu said.
Hearing these words, everyone was overjoyed.
They had thought they would have come all this way for nothing, yet Ouyang Kongyu had agreed so readily.
Even the Patriarch of the Totem Dragon Clan was quite surprised.
He happily performed a grand salute once more: "Thank you, Senior."
But Ouyang Kongyu raised an eyebrow: "There's no need to thank me."
"I'm not doing this as a favor to your Totem Dragon Clan."
"It's because this young friend is Jie Ranqing's son."
Though Chu Feng was the younger generation, they trusted his judgment more.
"Hard to say." Chu Feng shook his head, genuinely unable to confirm it.
Although he had formed some conjectures, he felt they were unlikely.
Everything continued as normal afterward, and after quite a bit of traveling, they finally arrived at a higher realm within the Bloodline Heavenly River.
"We're close to Senior Ouyang's place of seclusion."
"Senior Ouyang's temperament is somewhat eccentric. Once we arrive, don't say anything — just follow my lead and watch for my signals."
"Also, Chu Feng, prepare yourself mentally. We may have made this trip for nothing."
The Patriarch of the Totem Dragon Clan said.
"Father, didn't you say he has ties to our Totem Dragon Clan? Would he really refuse to grant you this favor?" Long Chengyu asked.
"We do have a connection, but like I said, Senior Ouyang's temperament is rather eccentric."
"But it's fine — we might as well try. Trying never hurts, and who knows, he might agree." The Patriarch of the Totem Dragon Clan said with a smile.
Yet these last words of his actually made Chu Feng and the others feel that the chances of success were truly slim.
Soon, in the distance ahead, a desolate mountain came into view.
Although the distance was great, with their level of cultivation, they were all able to take in the entire mountain at a glance.
Atop one of the lower peaks deep within the mountain range stood a Taoist temple.
The temple was not very large, and it had no barriers — it simply stood there as it was.
According to the Totem Dragon Clan Chief, this was the place where Ouyang Kongyu had secluded himself.
Precisely because there were no barriers, Chu Feng and the others didn't need any special means to observe the temple. A normal glance was enough for them to see everything inside.
There were only two people within the temple.
A teenager of about ten or so was cultivating formation techniques.
The other was an elderly Taoist priest, seated cross-legged inside the hall.
Though his clothing was plain and his appearance ordinary, the aura about him was clearly extraordinary at first glance.
This man was undoubtedly Ouyang Kongyu.
He sensed the gazes of Chu Feng and the others, and so he opened his eyes.
In the next moment, he vanished from where he was.
When he appeared again, he was already standing before Chu Feng.
"Greetings, Senior."
With a single look from the Totem Dragon Clan Chief, Chu Feng and the others followed his lead and bowed respectfully to the elder.
After all, in terms of seniority, this man was truly a senior beyond dispute.
But Ouyang Kongyu's manner was rather cold: "Clan Chief of the Totem Clan, what brings you here?"
"It's like this, Senior. We'd like to ask for your help — to treat someone."
The Totem Dragon Clan Chief beat around no bushes and told Ouyang Kongyu directly about Chu Feng and Jia Lingyi's situation.
"Where is the patient?" Ouyang Kongyu asked.
Chu Feng didn't dare hesitate. He reached into his Universe Bag and pulled Jia Lingyi out directly.
"Very well, I'll give it a try," Ouyang Kongyu said.
Upon hearing these words, everyone was overjoyed.
They had originally thought the trip would be in vain, but they never expected Ouyang Kongyu to agree so readily.
Even the Totem Dragon Clan Chief was quite surprised.
So, beaming with delight, he once again offered the elder a deep bow: "Thank you, Senior."
But Ouyang Kongyu raised an eyebrow: "You don't need to thank me."
"I'm not doing this as a favor to your Totem Dragon Clan."
"It's because this young friend here is Jie Ranqing's son."
Please: m2.ddyueshu Even though Chu Feng was of the younger generation, they trusted his judgment even more.
"It's hard to say." Chu Feng shook his head, truly unable to confirm it.
He had some guesses, but he felt they were unlikely.
After that, everything proceeded as normal. Following a stretch of travel, they finally arrived at an upper world within the Bloodline Galaxy.
"We're getting close to Senior Ouyang's place of seclusion."
"Senior Ouyang's temperament is rather eccentric. Once we arrive, don't say anything — just follow my lead."
"Also, Chu Feng, prepare yourself mentally. We might end up making this trip for nothing."
The Totem Dragon Clan Chief said.
"Father, didn't you say he has ties to our Totem Dragon Clan? Surely he wouldn't refuse you this favor?" Long Chengyu asked.
"We do have a history, but like I said, Senior Ouyang is quite eccentric."
"But it's fine — we'll give it a try. Trying never hurts. Who knows, he might agree," the Totem Dragon Clan Chief said with a smile.
However, this last remark only made Chu Feng and the others feel that the chances of success were truly slim.
Soon, a desolate mountain appeared in the distance within their line of sight.
Though it was far away, with their cultivation, they could take in the entire mountain at a glance.
At the peak of a modestly tall mountain deep within the range sat a Taoist temple.
The temple wasn't large, and there was no protective formation around it — it just stood there as it was.
According to the Totem Dragon Clan Chief, that was where Ouyang Kongyu had made his seclusion.
And precisely because there was no formation, Chu Feng and the others didn't need any special methods to peer inside — they could simply observe normally and see everything within the temple.
There were only two people inside.
A teenager, around a dozen years old, was cultivating the art of formations.
The other was an old Daoist, sitting cross-legged inside the palace.
Though his clothing was ordinary and his appearance unremarkable, his temperament was clearly extraordinary at a glance.
This person was none other than Ouyang Kongyu.
He sensed the gaze of Chu Feng and the others, so he opened his eyes.
The next moment, he vanished from his spot.
When he reappeared, he was already standing before Chu Feng.
"Greetings, Senior."
With a single look from the Totem Dragon Clan's patriarch, Chu Feng and the others followed him in bowing to the man.
After all, in terms of seniority, he was unquestionably an elder.
But Ouyang Kongyu responded with great coldness: "Totem Patriarch, what brings you here?"
"It's like this, Senior. We would like to ask a favor of you — to treat someone."
The Totem Dragon Clan's patriarch beat around no bushes, directly telling Ouyang Kongyu about Chu Feng and Jia Lingyi's situation.
"Where is the patient?" Ouyang Kongyu asked.
Chu Feng dared not delay, reaching into his Universe Bag and pulling out Jia Lingyi.
"Fine, I'll give it a try," Ouyang Kongyu said.
Hearing this, everyone was overjoyed.
They had thought this trip might be in vain, yet Ouyang Kongyu agreed so readily.
Even the Totem Dragon Clan's patriarch was quite surprised.
So he cheerfully bowed deeply once more: "Thank you, Senior."
But Ouyang Kongyu raised an eyebrow: "No need to thank me."
"I'm not doing this favor for the sake of your Totem Dragon Clan."
"It's because this young friend is Jie Ranqing's son."
Though Chu Feng was of the younger generation, they trusted his judgment more.

"Also, Chu Feng, be mentally prepared. We might have made this trip for nothing."
The Patriarch of the Totem Dragon Clan said.
"Father, didn't you say he has ties to our Totem Dragon Clan? Would he really not give you face?" Long Chengyu asked.
"There is indeed a relationship, but I've mentioned Senior Ouyang's personality is quite peculiar."
"But it's fine. Let's try. Trying can't hurt, and who knows, maybe he'll agree." The Patriarch of the Totem Dragon Clan said with a smile.
However, his last sentence actually made Chu Feng and the others feel that the chances of success were really slim.
Soon, a desolate mountain appeared in the distance before their eyes.
Despite being far away, given their cultivation levels, they could take in the entire mountain with a glance.
Atop a not particularly tall peak deep within the mountain stood a Taoist temple.
The temple wasn't large and had no protective barrier, standing just as it was.
According to the Patriarch of the Totem Dragon Clan, that was where Ouyang Kongyu lived in seclusion.
And precisely because there was no barrier, Chu Feng and the others didn't need any special methods; just by observing normally, they could see everything inside the temple.
There were only two people inside the temple.
A teenager, around a dozen years old, was cultivating the art of barriers.
The other was an aged Taoist, sitting cross-legged inside the main hall.
Although his clothing was plain and his appearance ordinary, the aura about this person was clearly extraordinary at a glance.
