Everything happened in an instant. The blinding golden light devoured everything in sight in the blink of an eye.
When the golden light faded, everything that had been at the entrance of the Primordial Killing Sea—whether the temporary city the Ouyang Heavenly Clan had constructed or the grand formation they had set up—had been utterly obliterated.
But Shen Bai stood with his eyes wide open, scrutinizing his surroundings in disbelief.
He then soared into the sky and flew beyond the starry expanse, pulling out an unusual golden compass and examining it with urgency.
After a long while, his face twisted with displeasure: "Damn it, those damn insects actually escaped."
Although his earlier attack had destroyed everything at the entrance of the Primordial Killing Sea, Chu Feng had gotten away.
Not just Chu Feng—even Zhao Daobin, who had been sitting beneath him, and everyone else who had been at the entrance, had all escaped.
Though unwilling to accept it, the situation was already settled. Shen Bai turned his body around and gave chase in the direction of the war chariot Little Fish was riding.
…
Meanwhile, in a stretch of starry sky far from the Primordial Killing Sea…
Chu Feng, Long Chengyu, Long Muxi, Long Mucheng, and the others—as well as the entire Ouyang Heavenly Clan and every person from the Primordial Killing Sea—were all gathered here.
Every single one of them was staring at Chu Feng, their expressions deeply conflicted. There was confusion, there was shock, but above all there was gratitude.
They had all felt Shen Bai's killing intent. They had truly believed they were about to die.
Against an existence of that caliber, they wouldn't even have had time to scream, let alone fight back.
Yet at that critical moment, a power beyond imagination had wrapped around them and spirited them away from the Primordial Killing Sea to this place in the blink of an eye.
The speed had been beyond anything they could comprehend.
And that power had come from Chu Feng.
It was the Divine Deer!
"Senior, has your power been restored?" Chu Feng asked the Divine Deer within his body.
"Yes, but I've just used it up," the Divine Deer replied.
"When was it restored?" Chu Feng asked.
"Some time ago," the Divine Deer said.
"Senior, why didn't you tell me? You…" Chu Feng felt somewhat frustrated.
"If I had told you my power was restored, you might have squandered it on something you shouldn't have. That way, I wouldn't have been able to save you and your friends just now." The Divine Deer gave its answer.
Chu Feng had no rebuttal for that. As much as he wished he had used that power to rescue Little Fish, if the Divine Deer hadn't intervened just now, they would truly all be dead.
"Thank you, Young Hero Chu Feng, for saving our lives!"
At that moment, many people dropped to their knees before Chu Feng, expressing their gratitude for his life-saving intervention.
But Chu Feng, along with Long Mucheng and even Ouyang Mingchang and the others, all watched Zhao Daobin with caution.
Though Zhao Daobin had just been humiliated—used as nothing more than a seat beneath Shen Bai—his injuries weren't actually that severe.
Moreover, he was still a Third-rank Heaven God.
Even with Shen Bai gone, if Zhao Daobin harbored ill intentions, he remained a threat none of them could handle.
Zhao Daobin, who had been floating in a prone position in midair, sensed their stares and rose to his feet. He first brushed off his robes, then actually bowed toward Chu Feng.
"I am Zhao Daobin, a member of the Zhao Immortal Clan. Just now, I have Young Friend Chu Feng to thank for saving my life."
When these words left Zhao Daobin's mouth, everyone realized that this man did not seem to be an enemy.
What they didn't know was that Zhao Daobin had come to the Primordial Killing Sea in the first place with the intention of capturing Chu Feng.
