Ziling wielded a divine weapon sword, cutting through everything in her path with no one able to stop her.
The Hell Sect's army moved to intercept, but she dispatched them as easily as chopping melons and vegetables.
The reason she could do this so effortlessly was because of Ziling's formidable cultivation.
"A Fifth Rank True God has arrived."
"Damn, and she's a beauty."
"Chu Feng, is she part of your Chu Alliance too?"
"You were hiding someone like this?"
Fei exclaimed in amazement. Despite still being at a considerable distance, they could all feel the overwhelming pressure radiating from Ziling.
What's more, he caught sight of Ziling's stunningly beautiful face.
For reasons he couldn't quite explain, he instinctively swallowed.
"That's my big brother's lover, Sister Ziling."
Little Fish hastily reminded him.
She was afraid that if she didn't inform Fei of Ziling's identity, some inappropriate remark might slip out of his mouth next.
"Ziling?"
"Oh, I know about her — she's a disciple of the Sleeping Dragon Martial Sect, the one who knew Chu Feng back in the Lower Realm of Ancestral Martial."
"So she really is that beautiful?"
"Chu Feng, I have to say you're one lucky guy."
Fei said enviously, slapping Chu Feng on the shoulder.
"You actually know about Sister Ziling too?"
Little Fish was surprised.
"Who doesn't? Over in the Ancestral Martial Starfield, the story of Chu Feng and Ziling is practically common knowledge by now."
Fei replied.
"That's true."
Little Fish thought that made sense.
Many of the things she knew about Chu Feng and Ziling were mostly hearsay.
And those things weren't really secrets either — anyone curious about Chu Feng's past could easily find out by asking around in the Lower Realm of Ancestral Martial.
While Little Fish and Fei were chatting, Chu Feng kept his eyes fixed on Ziling.
Through observation, Chu Feng could tell that Ziling's true cultivation was not Fifth Rank True God.
Her true cultivation should be Second Rank True God, because the crimson aura around her body actually consisted of three layers, each one boosting Ziling's cultivation by an additional rank.
This wasn't the power of a Heaven-granted Divine Body — it likely had something to do with the ancient pagoda inside Ziling.
But at just Fifth Rank True God, Ziling was actually in real danger.
After all, even Xiahou Jue could elevate his cultivation by one rank from Fourth Rank True God.
Someone like Baili Xukong, at Fifth Rank True God, would most likely be able to boost his cultivation by one rank as well.
"Another one who doesn't fear death. My lord, let me deal with her."
As Xiahou Jue spoke, he raised his cultivation to Fifth Rank True God, then led his forces in a pincer formation, charging toward Ziling.
But Ziling seemed to have sensed it coming — the crimson aura remained at her original position, but her actual body had vanished.
Just as everyone was stunned, a massive surge of crimson aura suddenly appeared outside Chu Feng's bamboo boat.
At that moment, the power bestowed by the Hell God that enveloped Chu Feng's bamboo boat hadn't fully dissipated yet.
But the crimson aura simply enveloped that power of the Hell God, covering Chu Feng's bamboo boat entirely.
At the same time, Ziling's figure appeared standing outside the bamboo boat.
Only now, the crimson aura surrounding Ziling carried additional phantom outlines resembling lotus flowers.
And on her forehead, as well as within both her eyes, crimson lotus flower marks had appeared.
As for her displayed cultivation, it was no longer Fifth Rank True God — it had risen to the level of Sixth Rank True God.
"Sixth Rank True God?"
Sensing Ziling's cultivation at this moment, Xiahou Jue was stunned.
At this level of cultivation, there was nothing he could do.
"Brother Chu Feng, I arrived just in time, didn't I?" Ziling looked toward Chu Feng.
And just as Ziling spoke, the power from the Hell God that had been covering the bamboo boat finally dissipated completely.
It truly was just in time — a moment later, and Chu Feng would have faced the danger of being captured.
"Ziling, how did you know I was here?"
Chu Feng asked.
"After I emerged from seclusion, I saw this strange phenomenon and found that it was identical to the scene in the scroll you once showed me. I had a feeling you would come here, so I decided to come find you."
Ziling transmitted this message through a secret voice transmission — the clever girl didn't want more people to learn what this phenomenon truly meant to Chu Feng.
