When the young man's family came to their senses, they saw the Prison Sect elder collapsed on the ground in agony, his head pinned under Chu Feng's foot, blood gushing wildly from the hole in his abdomen.
"This..."
The young man's family felt even more terror, unable to speak for a moment.
Never in their wildest dreams had they imagined that this seemingly kind guest would be even more terrifying than the Prison Sect elder.
Not just in strength.
After hurting someone, he didn't even bat an eye—clearly long accustomed to such acts.
This... was no ordinary martial cultivator.
This was a ruthless killer who had bathed in countless drops of blood and grown used to slaughter.
"I don't know who you are."
"But I am a Prison General of the Prison Sect."
"Our Prison Sect's Prison Commanders have already returned. Their cultivation has reached levels you cannot possibly imagine. Our Prison Sect will soon unify the martial cultivation world."
"Are you certain you want to make an enemy of our Prison Sect?"
The Prison Sect elder knew he had provoked someone he couldn't afford to cross, and bringing up the Prison Sect was his only chance at survival.
"Wasn't I already your Prison Sect's enemy?"
Crack— As those words left his mouth, lightning crackled around Chu Feng.
The reason Chu Feng had been able to so easily defeat the elder was that he had long since used methods to boost his cultivation—he simply hadn't revealed it before.
Now, with a single display, the lightning patterns on his forehead, the armor surrounding his body, and the wings behind his back all materialized at once.
Like a god of thunder standing in the courtyard.
But compared to that dazzling, powerful Nine-colored Thunder, the people in the courtyard—and even the Shi Mo high in the sky—all fixed their gazes on Chu Feng's face.
Because, appearing alongside the Nine-colored Thunder...
Was Chu Feng's true face.
"This... this... could this person actually be—"
Seeing Chu Feng's face, the young man's family doubted their own eyes.
The young man's eldest brother, in particular, stared with eyes as wide as an ox, his expression exaggerated beyond belief.
As if he had beheld a god.
"You... you're Chu Feng?"
Even the Prison Sect elder spoke again, but his tone had changed. Gone was his earlier hardness—his voice trembled.
He had actually encountered Chu Feng through the Prison Sect before.
He knew of Chu Feng's methods.
If his opponent was Chu Feng, then he probably had no path to survival.
All he could do was curse inwardly.
What rotten luck.
Whoosh— At that moment, the sealing barrier dissipated.
It was Shi Mo.
He had discovered it was Chu Feng here.
And seeing that even the Prison Sect elder was no match for Chu Feng, he immediately fled toward the distance.
But Chu Feng reached out and grabbed, and a tremendous suction force enveloped Shi Mo, pulling him straight into the courtyard, where he crashed to the ground like a dead dog.
But he scrambled up at once and crawled on his knees to Chu Feng.
"Chu Feng, Chu Feng."
"This is a misunderstanding, a complete misunderstanding!"
"Actually, I'm from the Divine Body Palace. I was only taken captive by this Prison Sect person."
Shi Mo held up an object with both hands and presented it to Chu Feng.
It was a token of the Divine Body Palace.
But before Chu Feng could even speak, the Prison Sect elder erupted in fury: "How dare you, Shi Mo! To save your own life, you would deny your identity as a member of the Prison Sect? You deserve to die ten thousand deaths!!!!"
"Shut up, shut up!"
"I am from the Divine Body Palace! I have nothing to do with the Prison Sect!"
"Chu Feng, I'm from the Divine Body Palace! Wang Qiang is also from the Divine Body Palace—he's your sworn brother, isn't he? You... you can't kill me!"
As Shi Mo spoke, snot and tears streamed down his face. He was truly terrified of death.
Chu Feng took the token. Not only was it genuine, but it was also engraved with Shi Mo's name.
"So it seems you're a spy the Prison Sect planted inside the Divine Body Palace."
After those words, Chu Feng reached out and grabbed once more. Another surge of suction force erupted, drawing both Shi Mo and the Prison Sect elder into the spatial world within his palm.
Then, Chu Feng soared high into the sky.
