"Yeah, why isn't
"I've been wanting to ask that very question—on such an important day, why isn't Chu Feng in attendance?" Once Elder Liu raised the issue, it was like a lit fuse. A wave of commotion immediately swept through the crowd, and many began speculating.
"Heh, you guys don't know the full story. Apparently, Chu Feng is a coward who fears death. Afraid of the
"What the hell are you talking about? I've witnessed Brother Chu Feng's might with my own eyes—how could he be someone who cowers before the Immortal Execution Archipelago?"
"Besides, Chu Feng once fought for the brothers of our Remnant Night Demon Sect, wiping out the sects of the Ice and Snow Plains and slaying the experts of the Immortal Execution Archipelago."
"I heard that on the Wild Wind Plains, Chu Feng fought
"Chu Feng, as a member of our Remnant Night Demon Sect, was willing to risk his life—how could he possibly abandon the sect out of fear of death? In my opinion, someone was simply jealous of Chu Feng's talent and deliberately forced him out."
"Shh, you can't say things like that so carelessly! The three
"Don't jump to conclusions. How could the three Protectors deliberately suppress Chu Feng? When the Immortal Execution Archipelago and the three great demon clans attacked the Misty Immortal Peak, Chu Feng was there. He sustained grave injuries that day, and whether he's alive or dead is anyone's guess. Most likely, he's dead. That's the real reason he can't attend."
"Sigh… is he really dead? What a terrible waste. I so wanted to see Chu Feng in action. If he had entered that formation, he definitely wouldn't have been restrained at just the fifth level, right?"
As the discussion raged on, more and more people began talking about Chu Feng. Many even spoke up in his defense, indignant at the suggestion that he had betrayed the Remnant Night Demon Sect.
Others believed that Chu Feng had met with some misfortune when the Immortal Execution Archipelago laid siege to the Misty Immortal Peak.
Regardless of what they speculated, one thing was clear from their words and expressions—they genuinely hoped that Chu Feng would become the sect master.
"I never imagined that kid Chu Feng would have built up such prestige within the Remnant Night Demon Sect in just two short years." Listening to the crowd praise his disciple so highly,
"ALL OF YOU, SHUT UP!!!" At that very moment,
"Listen well, every last one of you. Chu Feng's origins are unknown, and he harbors ulterior motives. Everything he's done for our Remnant Night Demon Sect was part of some scheme."
"Setting aside the fact that his current condition is unknown—even if he were here, we still wouldn't allow him to become sect master."
"Don't think I'm speaking without basis.
"That… that… Young Friend Chu Feng's body is special. The Crescent Moon Formation truly cannot be inscribed upon him," the Earth King said.
"What? Chu Feng can't have the Crescent Moon Formation inscribed on him?"
"The Crescent Moon Formation is the very symbol of our Remnant Night Demon Sect. If one cannot bear the formation, then they haven't truly joined our sect at all."
