Story Role / Major Arcs

Qingxuan City

As Captain of Qingxuan City's City Guard, Chu Feng was mocked for lacking cultivation despite his exceptional strength. His meeting with Shen Yi led to an alliance against the Qingxuan Sect and Wang Shangren. 40

After Qingxuan City was devastated, Chu Feng revealed that the City Guard had fought to let him escape from Wang Shangren. He later joined Shen Yi and Little Black in the final battle that killed Wang Shangren. 58 59

When the Later Zhou Imperial Dynasty ordered him transferred to the capital, Chu Feng tore up the decree and personally destroyed its coercive pressure with his saber. He then left Qingxuan City to follow his own path. 60

Shengjing and the Martial Arts Tournament for Marriage

Chu Feng reunited with Shen Yi in Shengjing City and forced his way into the Immortal's Abode by defeating Jiang Zhishui. 71

His attraction to Jiang Miao'an became the motive for entering the Martial Arts Tournament for Marriage. He reached the final ranks as a mortal, defeated numerous Foundation Establishment cultivators, and ultimately lost to Jiang Miao'an, who had already entered the Golden Core realm. 74 80 83

Supreme Hall

Chu Feng joined the Supreme Hall's first generation, teaching disciples alongside Feng Yang. Although he still had no cultivation at the time, he was trusted to help protect and manage the sect. 160 162

During the Azure Cloud Sect's assault on the Supreme Hall, he faced Golden Core cultivator Sun San and proved that refined saber skill could surpass cultivation alone. 157 158

Qianyuan Marriage Challenge

When Yu Feng of the Feather Clan and Qin Lin of Former Qin sought Jiang Miao'an's hand, Chu Feng accepted the challenge rather than rely on Shen Yi's intervention. 277

Pressed by both Nascent Soul opponents, he completed Spirit Transformation, defeated them with flame-infused saber techniques, and secured recognition as a suitable match for Jiang Miao'an. 278 279

Southwestern Campaign

As an Elder of the Supreme Hall, Chu Feng commanded a major army in the campaign against the former Later Zhou feudal lords. He besieged Yang Guan's territory, endured a prolonged battle against the Yang brothers, and continued the campaign after Shen Yi secured the decisive victory. 296 298

His contingent eventually reclaimed the entire southwest, making the region a borderland between the Supreme Hall, Former Qin, and the West Sea. 299
