"Void Flight Technique — the Elder of Void Flight really invented something incredible." Watching Chu Feng walk through the air as though strolling on flat ground, Qi Fengyang nodded in admiration.
The Void Flight Technique — even he, who had already entered the Heaven Martial Realm, couldn't create something like it. Yet the Elder of Void Flight had managed to develop such a movement-type martial art with only Xuan Martial Realm cultivation. It was nothing short of a miracle.
"Big Brother, Dugu Aoyun tore off both arms of our sect's master, and he truly deserved it. But smacking him to death this time — don't you think that was a bit much?" Suddenly, Chu Feng asked with a trace of worry.
"Oh come on, you've got the nerve to say that?" Qi Fengyang pursed his lips wide and glared hard at Chu Feng.
Faced with this version of Qi Fengyang, Chu Feng felt somewhat embarrassed. He scratched his head sheepishly and didn't argue back.
Because Qi Fengyang had a point. Given Chu Feng's usual way of doing things, smacking Dugu Aoyun to death really wasn't that big a deal. On the contrary, it was strange of Chu Feng to say something like that. Of course, the reason Chu Feng asked was that he had his own considerations.
"I know what you're worried about, kid. That Yan Yangtian is a Heaven Martial Realm expert. Sure, your combat power is monstrous — you're a freak of nature — but against a Heaven Martial Realm expert, you're nothing but a fragile ant."
"Before I entered this realm, I thought all the legends about it were blown out of proportion. But once I stepped into it myself, I truly understood how terrifying it really is." Qi Fengyang sighed first, then continued: "You don't know Yan Yangtian. He's a man of boundless ambition, and ever since he entered the Heaven Martial Realm, he's become even more daring and reckless."
"He won't allow any sect within Qingzhou that could pose a threat to his Lingyun Sect."
"And your Azure Dragon Sect's rise is already evident. Your monstrous combat power has been laid bare. Whether you kill Dugu Aoyun or not, Yan Yangtian won't spare you or the Azure Dragon Sect — he won't spare anyone around you either."
"So whether you kill Dugu Aoyun or not, Yan Yangtian won't let you go. Since he's going to come after you anyway, you might as well take out his favorite disciple." Qi Fengyang explained to Chu Feng.
"Big Brother makes a good point!" Chu Feng nodded in agreement. There were indeed things Qi Fengyang saw more clearly than he did.
"But don't worry. Your big brother here is also a Heaven Martial Realm expert now, and behind me stands the Qilin Prince's Manor — and behind the Qilin Prince's Manor is the Jiang Dynasty. So as long as I'm here, no matter how daring Yan Yangtian is, he absolutely won't dare touch you." Qi Fengyang patted his chest and made the promise.
"Big Brother, don't you also have a reclusive expert behind you?" Chu Feng asked with a grin.
"Who are you talking about?" Qi Fengyang asked, somewhat puzzled.
"That blue-robed Spirit World Master living in seclusion in Baiqu Gou!" Chu Feng replied.
"Oh!" Hearing this, Qi Fengyang suddenly understood, and then he smiled at Chu Feng: "You're right — that is indeed a remarkable person. But he's not exactly living in seclusion. He understands everything happening in Qingzhou better than anyone."
"Because the reason he stays in Baiqu Gou is to observe everything that happens in Qingzhou. He's looking for someone."
"Someone? Who?" Chu Feng asked curiously.
"Haha, someone extraordinary. But I can't tell you — it's a secret. Even you, I'm afraid I can't say."
Qi Fengyang stroked his beard, smiled once more, and then said to Chu Feng: "That person is the hope of the Nine Provinces Continent, and you are the hope of my Qingzhou."
Chu Feng didn't fully understand what Qi Fengyang meant, but he could tell that the blue-robed Spirit World Master's identity was far from simple — and that the person he was searching for was even more extraordinary.
Though Chu Feng was intensely curious about who the blue-robed Spirit World Master was and who that extraordinary person might be, since Qi Fengyang refused to say, Chu Feng didn't press further.
