"That fellow is quite interesting."
"I just wonder — if he knew that you used your Theft of Darkness to steal his Heavenly Dao Suppression, Heavenly Dao Protection, Heavenly Dao Movement Technique, and Formless Spear Technique, would he still thank you?"
Eggy walked up to Chu Feng with a mischievous grin on her face. Of course, only Chu Feng could hear her.
"How is Grandmother doing?"
Eggy and Song Yun both turned to look at Chu Feng's grandmother.
At that moment, she was still unconscious.
"She's somewhat stable, but if she's to recover, I'm afraid we'll need to think of another approach."
Chu Feng gazed at his grandmother, a look of heartache surfacing in his eyes.
After this round of treatment, he had come to realize that his grandmother was not merely deranged — she must also suffer from spiritual torment on a regular basis.
His grandmother lived in agony.
"Our clan's healing grand formation had no effect?" Ye Xiancheng said, sounding surprised.
Whoosh— Just then, Chu Feng flicked his sleeve, and an unconscious figure was tossed out.
It was the Ninth Young Master, who had previously been under Chu Feng's control.
"He fell into a weakened unconscious state under the control of my formation, but there's nothing seriously wrong with him," Chu Feng explained.
"Brother Chu, my mother just left — she's likely going to activate our clan's Ancestral Grand Formation."
"My parents are the most stubborn people I know. The only reason I was made clan leader was that they wanted to temper me."
"But when it comes to the Ye Immortal Clan, they are the ones who truly call the shots."
"Last time, when you left with your grandmother, I knew you possessed extraordinary means."
"However, precisely because you managed to take your grandmother away that time, our clan has come to understand just how formidable you are."
"This time, I'm afraid they will spare no effort in activating the Ancestral Grand Formation."
"When our clan's Immortal Grand Formation is fully activated, its power will be nothing short of extraordinary."
"So you could use me as a hostage. With me in your hands, they most likely won't harm you and will let you leave."
Ye Xiancheng transmitted his voice secretly to Chu Feng.
"Brother Ye, thank you."
Chu Feng had already been considering the same idea — after all, he did not want Eggy to have to burn through her own life force to counter the Ancestral Grand Formation.
But there was a world of difference between Chu Feng bringing it up himself and Ye Xiancheng offering the suggestion.
Ye Xiancheng smiled, then turned to Song Yun. "Guest Elder, are you still not willing to tell me your real name?"
"Song Yun," Song Yun replied.
"A fine name." Ye Xiancheng nodded, then looked toward Eggy. "And you, miss — might I ask your name?"
Eggy completely ignored him, as if she hadn't heard a word.
Ye Xiancheng didn't feel awkward at all. Instead, he laughed. "Got spirit. Beautiful women are always spirited — and the most stunning ones should be even more so."
It was at that very moment that Chu Feng, Song Yun, and Ye Xiancheng all raised their heads in unison, gazing toward the horizon.
At the same time, Ye Xiancheng's father and the members of the Ye Immortal Clan likewise turned their eyes skyward.
They were all looking in the direction of the Primordial Tomb.
In the night sky, the image of the Primordial Tomb had grown ever clearer and undergone a new transformation. Strange streaks of light continuously poured forth from within it.
The vision of the Primordial Tomb now blazed even more brilliantly than it had during the Divine Era.
"What on earth lies within that place?" Even Ye Xiancheng couldn't help but let out a sigh of wonder.
And just then, Chu Feng's grandmother suddenly opened her eyes and rose to her feet.
"Grandmother."
Chu Feng stepped forward to call out to her, but she vanished before his eyes. When she reappeared, she was already outside the great hall, standing above the warship.
Chu Feng's grandmother hovered in the void, her gaze also fixed upon the direction of the Primordial Tomb.
Her eyes were deep and unfathomable, yet they radiated a certain power.
Even outsiders could sense that Chu Feng's grandmother was using some kind of method to observe the changes occurring within the Primordial Tomb.
"Seize her!"
Suddenly, someone cried out.
At the same time, several figures flew in from every direction toward Chu Feng's grandmother — they were the elders of the Ye Immortal Clan.
