"It seems this is the arrangement of the Heavens."
"Chu Feng, today I will use your life to exchange for my standing within the Prison Sect."
The more Zhao Feng thought about it, the more his blood ran hot. Not only did his speed increase further, but he even felt a slight boost to his combat power.
However, no matter how eager this army was to claim merit, they could only follow orders and advance.
Because they couldn't even catch a glimpse of Chu Feng. The distance between them and Chu Feng was actually growing wider.
Right now, Chu Feng was carrying Feng Ling and heading toward the Blossom Sea Immortal World.
After all, the tomb of the Demon-Slaying Emperor was the whole reason Chu Feng had come here.
"Who… are… you?"
Suddenly, a voice came from within Chu Feng's embrace — Feng Ling's voice, far more aged than usual.
Though Chu Feng was currently in the appearance of Baili Zilin, Feng Ling knew this was not Baili Zilin.
Chu Feng also knew that Jie Tianran had already locked onto him through the observation array.
So he simply restored his original appearance.
"Tell me, who am I?" Chu Feng asked with a smile.
"Chu Feng?"
"How did you end up here?"
When Feng Ling saw Chu Feng, her dull eyes brightened considerably.
"It's quite a coincidence, really. Perhaps we were fated to meet," Chu Feng said.
He told Feng Ling the whole story.
And through their conversation, Chu Feng learned that the person from before was indeed Zhao Feng, and that Zhao Feng had a relationship with Baili Xukong.
"Chu Feng, you really are something else."
"All those old monsters from the Prison Sect, and they even teamed up with that dead grandfather of yours."
"And you still managed to suppress all of them. You're simply..."
After hearing Chu Feng's account, Feng Ling grew quite excited.
But mid-sentence, without any warning, she slipped back into slumber.
Seeing this, Chu Feng couldn't help but sigh.
"Chu Feng, this girl's condition isn't good."
Eggie's voice rang out as well.
They could both see that Feng Ling's situation was extremely dire.
The brief excitement from moments ago had seemed more like a final spark of life — and it had quickly drained away what little strength she had left.
If this continued, Feng Ling would be in grave danger.
"Zhao Feng's refinement method is incredibly ruthless. He not only drained Feng Ling's bloodline, but also extracted her soul and origin essence," Chu Feng said.
"So you're saying the only antidote to save Feng Ling now is Zhao Feng's life?" Eggie asked.
"Mm," Chu Feng responded.
"Chu Feng, how is that suppression array of yours doing right now?"
"Can it suppress only them without affecting this Queen?" Eggie asked.
"It originally could."
"But after Jie Tianran interfered, it can only treat everyone equally," Chu Feng said.
"That's fine then. This Queen simply needs to raise her cultivation to the first-level Heavenly God."
Eggie spoke again.
"Eggie, unless it's absolutely necessary, I'd rather you not intervene."
"Though I can't cure Feng Ling's injuries, I can maintain her condition for now."
"Also, don't forget why we came here."
"Perhaps the Demon-Slaying Emperor left us some surprises."
Chu Feng said.
He knew that since Eggie had spoken of it, she was entirely capable of doing it.
But Chu Feng also knew that forcing the use of power beyond one's control exacted an immeasurable toll on the body — even the price of one's life wouldn't be uncommon.
Saving Feng Ling was something he needed to do himself. He naturally didn't want Eggie bearing that kind of risk.
"Hopefully the Demon-Slaying Emperor left behind a wisp of his soul and slashed all those scum with a single sword," Eggie said.
"If that were the case, nothing would be better," Chu Feng said.
"Chu Feng, your mastery of the Divine Movement has improved once again."
The Sacred Deer's voice echoed through the air.
Because right now, Chu Feng was relying on the Divine Movement, and without even using his full strength, he had left that entire group of Heavenly Gods far behind.
"Senior, I've been training in the Divine Movement for so long now. It would be abnormal if there weren't any improvement."
"How did you think I used the Divine Avoidance just now, Senior?" Chu Feng asked.
