Before Chu Feng appeared.
Sea Fisher Shaoyu had always held the title of the greatest genius of the current generation, and Little Fisher's talent was also rumored to surpass that of her elder brother.
When it came to the representative figures of this generation's prodigies, these two were undisputedly worthy of the honor.
But today, even these two had been defeated.
"Where's Chu Feng?"
"Why hasn't Chu Feng shown up yet?"
"Wasn't he here too?"
Suddenly, a voice rang out from the crowd — not only mentioning Chu Feng, but doing so in an accusatory tone.
And once those words were spoken, they struck a chord with many people. Most of those present began to speak up.
Without exception, they were all cultivators of the current generation.
"Right, where is Chu Feng?"
"Isn't he the strongest of our generation?"
"Didn't he shine brilliantly at the Summit of Nine Heavens?"
"Didn't he even dare to stand against the Seven Realms Holy Palace?"
"Wasn't he here too?"
"Didn't he help Qin Xuan out of trouble? Didn't he also deal heavy blows to our current generation's sect forces?"
"Now, when these ancient cultivators are oppressing us like this, where has he gone as a fellow cultivator of our generation?"
"When facing cultivators of his own era, he fears nothing under heaven, but when up against ancient cultivators, he turns into a cowardly turtle. So this is the greatest genius of our generation? What a joke. No wonder the ancient cultivators look down on us."
When these voices rang out, Little Fisher and Sea Fisher Shaoyu were instantly consumed by fury.
"What nonsense are you spouting?"
Little Fisher glared at the crowd, wishing she could cut them down on the spot.
"Are we wrong?"
"This Chu Feng — when facing cultivators of our generation, he acts like no one can stand against him, fearless of heaven and earth."
"But now that ancient cultivators have shown up, he's gone into hiding. If that's not bullying only those weaker than himself, then what is it?"
The crowd showed no fear toward Little Fisher, because they knew they would most likely die here today.
When facing death itself, what was there to be afraid of?
"You're courting death!!!"
Little Fisher and Sea Fisher Shaoyu struck simultaneously, ready to teach those who had slandered Chu Feng a lesson.
Boom — Yet their attacks were blocked before they could even get close.
It was the elder generation of those current-generation prodigies' families who had intervened.
"Can't beat the ancient geniuses, so you turn and attack your own kind? From where I'm standing, your Sea Fisher Clan isn't any better."
The elder who had blocked Little Fisher and the others spoke with a vicious sneer.
In the past, given Little Fisher's identity alone, they wouldn't have dared to speak so brazenly.
But now, with no consequences to worry about, they had torn off their masks and revealed the truest part of human nature.
Aaagh — However, in the very next moment, screams rang out one after another. All of those elders who had intervened — even though they had merely blocked Little Fisher and Sea Fisher Shaoyu's attacks without actually injuring them — were sent tumbling to the ground, badly wounded.
It was Zhao Daobin!!!
"These are honored guests of my Zhao Immortal Clan."
"And who exactly are you to dare lay a hand on them?"
The moment those words left Zhao Daobin's lips.
The faces of those people turned deathly pale as they realized that Sea Fisher Shaoyu and the others — even in the eyes of the Zhao Immortal Clan — held a status entirely different from their own.
They realized they had kicked an iron plate.
This sort of demeanor of theirs — this was the true face of those who only dared to bully the weak while fearing the strong.
Seeing their pathetic expressions, even Zhao Daobin felt a surge of anger rise within him, and he continued: "In the eyes of my Zhao Immortal Clan, you are nothing more than a swarm of ants."
"If we want the power of that formation, we have no need to negotiate with you."
"What qualifications do you think you have to compete with the geniuses of my Zhao Immortal Clan?"
"Let me tell you — it was Chu Feng."
"It was young hero Chu Feng who agreed to help my Zhao Immortal Clan. Only out of respect for his face did we give you this chance to issue your challenge."
"Without him, you wouldn't even have that much."
