Hongjun: Chu Feng, Is This How You Repay Me?
"I don't care, Hong Yun is my friend, I have to save her."
Chu Feng said calmly.
Saving Hong Yun was not only because of their years of friendship and discussions, but also for his own opportunity to prove himself.
Hongjun looked at him quietly. "Why is this? Under the will of Heaven, everything has its destiny. I have treated you well, so why do you always go against me?"
Hongjun also felt wronged. From the time of the Dragon-Phoenix Calamity until now, Hongjun believed that he had treated Chu Feng well.
When we first met, you Chu Feng, didn't have any cultivation techniques?
Okay, I'll create it for you.
No resources to cultivate?
It's alright, I'll give you a spiritual fruit to help you cultivate.
No magic weapon for self-defense?
No problem, I'll give it to you too.
When your cultivation level was low, Chu Feng, I kept you by my side to protect you. For your sake Chu Feng, I have fought against the Heavenly Dao many times.
On the contrary, it's you, Chu Feng, who messes around everywhere, acting like a scoundrel.
Hongjun wasn't exactly good-tempered either; she could get angry too.
Chu Feng stopped and glanced at her, saying, "I know you've treated me well, but Hong Yun and I are very close friends. Now she's being besieged by the demon race and her life hangs by a thread."
If I sit here idly, watching her die and her soul perish, what path will I be attaining? And how can I go any further?"
Hongjun frowned slightly involuntarily. "Hong Yun's calamity is preordained by karma, so why should you get entangled in boundless karma for her sake?"
Hongjun sighed softly and continued, "I have never restricted your freedom."
Even when I have become a saint and regard all living beings as ants, I have never done so.
"But you, Chu Feng, I have treated you well. For your sake, I have maneuvered before the Heavenly Dao several times. How could you do this to me?"
Upon hearing this, Chu Feng was startled.
That's right, Hongjun treated him very well.
She and Luohu had different personalities. Although Hongjun had a transcendent temperament and appeared to be an ice queen, he was actually very close to her.
During his three sermons, Hongjun had Chu Feng sit beside him, thus declaring Chu Feng's status to all living beings in the Primordial World world.
However, saving Hong Yun is a system task, related to his own attainment of the Primordial Daluo Golden Immortal, so how could he abandon it?
"Predestination? Cause and effect? If everything is predetermined, then what is the purpose of our pursuit of the Great Dao? I only know that when a friend is in trouble, I cannot stand idly by! Today, I must go!"
Chu Feng steeled his heart and chose to confront Hongjun head-on.
It wasn't that he was heartless or ungrateful; rather, he had his own motives.
Based on the experience in Primordial World novels, there are many different opinions about Hongjun's alignment with the Heavenly Dao.
After merging with the Dao, did Hongjun truly unite with the Heavenly Dao, or was he devoured by the Heavenly Dao and reduced to a puppet?
Chu Feng dared not gamble; all he could do was improve his strength.
If the Heavenly Dao is evil, it may want to devour Hongjun and erase her consciousness.
I have enough strength to save Hongjun.
Hongjun trembled with anger, pointing at Chu Feng and cursing, "You little rascal, are you trying to anger me to death?"
Chu Feng sighed softly, took out two Fragment of the Jade Plate of Creation, and tossed them to Hongjun: "Here, take these. I'm going to save Hong Yun."
"Fragment of the Jade Plate of Creation!"
Hongjun's pupils suddenly contracted. "Where did you get this from?"
The Jade Plate of Creation is Chaos Supreme Treasure that was shattered when Pangu created the world, and Hongjun only possesses the largest piece of it.
She had always thought that the other fragments had long since been scattered and lost, but she never expected that Chu Feng would suddenly produce two more pieces today.
The secret hidden behind this is truly astonishing.
Seeing Hongjun's shocked expression, Chu Feng said calmly, "You don't need to ask where the fragment came from. I'm giving it to you now. I'm going to save Hong Yun, so please don't stop me."
Hongjun gripped the Fragment of the Jade Plate of Creation tightly in his hand, his mind filled with countless thoughts.
After a long silence, Hongjun sighed, put away the fragment, and said, "Fine, fine, you rascal, I won't bother with you anymore, go."
Hongjun paused, then continued, "Now you are at the late stage of the Primordial Origin Golden Immortal, Di Jun and Donghuang Taiyi are no less advanced. You should take care of yourself and lest you lose your life."
"Aren't you worried about the Heavenly Dao?" Chu Feng asked suddenly, his back to Hongjun.
"Go, I'll take the blame for this."
Hongjun sighed softly, her voice fading into the distance. Chu Feng knew she had left.
This was the first time he had an unpleasant argument with Hongjun, and he also learned some of Hongjun's thoughts.
Chu Feng sighed inwardly, then, without lingering, his figure transformed into a streak of light and instantly rushed out of the Purple Heavens Palace.
"Hong Yun, you must hold on!" Chu Feng silently prayed, increasing his speed once again.
Hongyun is now a Hunyuan Golden Immortal, although a Hunyuan Golden Immortal is stronger than a Quasi-Saint.
But how could Di Jun, Donghuang Taiyi, and Kunpeng be ordinary people?
Chu Feng dared not be careless; if Hong Yun died, his mission would fail.
Above the sky, malevolent energy condensed into dark clouds, and the spatial barrier was covered with spiderweb-like cracks.
Chu Feng finally arrived. He swept his divine sense over the area instantly, and the next moment, his heart sank.
Hong Yun was disheveled and covered in blood; her red Daoist robe had turned dark red.
His aura was extremely weak, clearly indicating that he had suffered a severe injury.
Donghuang Taiyi sneered, "Hong Yun, hand over the Primordial Violet Qi, and I may leave you a complete corpse so you can be reincarnated."
Otherwise, I will surely annihilate you, body and soul, and leave no trace of your true spirit today!
Hong Yun coughed up a mouthful of blood, gave a bitter smile, and said, "I, Hong Yun, have always been kind to everyone, and I never imagined I would end up like this. You... don't even think about it!"
"Court death!"
Donghuang Taiyi roared angrily, and the Chaos Bell above his head suddenly rang.
"Thump!"
A devastating sonic wave swept out, instantly shattering the defense formed by the Nine-Nine Scattered Soul Red Sand in front of Hong Yun.
Just as the fatal blow was about to land on Hong Yun, at this critical moment, Chu Feng spoke up to stop him, "Stop! I'd like to see who dares to hurt Fellow Daoist Hongyun!"
Hong Yun saw Chu Feng, a hint of surprise flashed in her eyes, followed by a gentle smile, "Fellow Daoist Chu, you've finally arrived."
Seeing Hong Yun's disheveled state, Chu Feng's anger surged. "Fellow Daoist Hongyun, with me here, they can't hurt you."
Di Jun looked at Chu Feng, a hint of apprehension flashing in her eyes. Chu Feng knew the Dao Ancestor and possessed formidable combat power; she didn't want to offend him unless absolutely necessary.
Thinking of this, Di Jun stepped forward and bowed respectfully. "Senior, this is a matter between my demon race and Hong Yun. Please do not interfere."
Chu Feng sneered, his eyes filled with disdain. "Di Jun, Hong Yun is my friend. Now that I'm here, I won't stand idly by."
Chu Feng instantly analyzed the situation. With his late-stage Primordial Origin Golden Immortal level, he might have a bit of a hard time fighting against two Quasi-Saint at the peak of their cultivation and one Quasi-Saint at the late stage.
The main reason is that Di Jun and Donghuang Taiyi's spiritual treasures are too powerful.
Especially with the Chaos Bell, killing them is unlikely, but winning won't be easy either.
Upon hearing Chu Feng's words, Di Jun's expression turned extremely ugly. "Senior, are you trying to make an enemy of my demon race by protecting Hong Yun like this? My demon race is now very powerful; Senior should think carefully about the consequences..."
