"You've hidden it deep — you can understand even this kind of formation diagram?" Old Cat said again.
"It's not that it's hidden deep, it's that we don't know each other well enough yet." Chu Feng smiled.
"Haha, fair point." Old Cat returned the smile, because he knew Chu Feng's words carried hidden meaning — after all, he had indeed been keeping secrets of his own.
Then, Chu Feng and Lord True Dragon worked together. Although the process was complex and consumed considerable time, because the formation diagram was solid enough, there were ultimately no mishaps.
"Lord True Dragon, Brother Chu Feng, I truly don't know how to thank you both."
At this moment, Old Cat held the restored Transmission Talisman in his hand, smiling so wide his mouth wouldn't close.
"Chu Feng, how far can this Transmission Talisman teleport? Why is this old cat so excited?" Eggie asked curiously.
"This Transmission Talisman is somewhat special. Although Lord True Dragon and I have restored it, it requires a special technique to activate. Likewise, a special technique is needed to learn its exact function." Chu Feng said.
"Looks like this old mixed cat knows that special technique."
"This mixed cat sure has plenty of secrets."
"Chu Feng, do you think he's really trustworthy? What if he sells you out for treasures?"
Eggie remained skeptical.
"Let's give it a try."
"Old Cat — while he's a bit cunning, I don't think his nature is bad. Otherwise, he wouldn't have treated Young Master Wolf so well." Chu Feng said.
"That's true." Eggie nodded.
Afterward, Old Cat cleaned out the entire Ancient Battle Clan's vault and gathered all the treasures together.
However, he said none of them were particularly good, so he wouldn't give them to Chu Feng.
Chu Feng didn't press the matter. As long as Old Cat was truly willing to go with him to the Seven Realms Holy Temple, that was enough.
After all, with the Nine Great Secret Techniques of the Battle Clan now in hand, Chu Feng's trip had not been in vain.
But Old Cat gave Lord True Dragon a Universe Bag. No one knew what was inside — even Chu Feng couldn't see through it.
But it was clearly the benefit Old Cat had previously promised to Lord True Dragon.
And after receiving his benefit, Lord True Dragon prepared to leave.
"Lord True Dragon, may I ask what your plans are?" Chu Feng inquired.
"No fixed plans. I may head to the Ninth Heavenly River, or I may wander around the Cultivation Martial World a bit more. Nothing is decided yet."
When Lord True Dragon said this, Chu Feng understood — Lord True Dragon's bond with the Totem Dragon Clan seemed to have run its course.
At least he had absolutely no intention of returning to the Totem Dragon Clan.
But that was only natural. The current Lord True Dragon was already a powerhouse who had surpassed the Totem Dragon Clan.
He had no reason to follow the Totem Dragon Clan anymore.
Besides, his reputation was excellent. He had cooperated with the Totem Dragon Clan from the beginning, fulfilled all his duties, and owed nothing to the Totem Dragon Ancestor. There was truly no need to go back.
And at this moment, Lord True Dragon looked toward Chu Feng again: "Young friend Chu Feng, I've heard about your affairs with the Seven Realms Holy Temple."
"Your family matters, I'm not in a position to intervene. However, while at the Totem Dragon Clan, I heard that the Seven Realms Holy Temple is truly not as simple as it appears on the surface. You should be careful on this journey."
"You are a rare talent."
"My entering the Ninth Heavenly River is merely to broaden my horizons. But if you can shine brilliantly, I'll have something to brag about."
Lord True Dragon said with a smile. The usually serious man had cracked a joke, but behind it lay deep expectations for Chu Feng.
Chu Feng understood. He clasped his fists in a respectful salute, yet still smiled: "Chu Feng will not disappoint Senior's expectations."
"Good. I'll be waiting for that day."
"Young friend Chu Feng, Old Cat — may we meet again within the Ninth Heavenly River."
After that, Lord True Dragon departed.
Since he could enter, he naturally had a way to leave.
But Chu Feng and the others could not leave with him — after all, the Clan Leader of the Immortal Sea Fish Clan was still waiting outside.
"Chu Feng, what happened between you and the Seven Realms Holy Temple?"
Along the way, Jie Shanxian's secret voice transmission entered Chu Feng's ears.
After all, from Chu Feng's conversations with Old Cat and Lord True Dragon, she had picked up on certain clues.
"Senior, I have no enmity with the Seven Realms Holy Temple as an institution. However, I have a grudge against the current Temple Master of the Seven Realms Holy Temple."
Chu Feng didn't conceal anything. Using a secret voice transmission, he roughly explained the situation to Jie Shanxian.
The reason he didn't hide it was that Chu Feng had judged Jie Shanxian to be someone who could tell right from wrong.
But upon learning what had happened, Jie Shanxian didn't respond further. Instead, she said to Chu Feng:
