"That shouldn't be possible. No matter what, Qiongqi had only just broken through to the Grand Unity Golden Immortal realm. He wasn't anyone important among the Demon Race."
"Besides, he'd only just fallen. Even if they'd received the news, there was no way they could get here so quickly."
Qin Feng was utterly baffled and couldn't make heads or tails of it.
At the sound of the voices,
the Human Race members also stared up at the sky in horror.
None of them had any idea what was going on.
As time passed, countless red clouds appeared on the distant horizon.
They scattered in all directions, as if fleeing for their lives.
Many of those red clouds drifted toward them.
The aura that had just left them unable to gauge its depth came from those very clouds.
"What is that? Why are there so many red clouds in the sky? And why are their auras so terrifying?"
The crowd fell into an uproar.
Not a single person knew why this was happening, or what the red clouds were doing.
One by one, they panicked.
The only person in the crowd who remained relatively calm was Qin Feng.
A name had suddenly surfaced in his mind.
It was Hong Yun from the Chat Group.
Wasn't he a powerful half-sage?
That would explain why Qin Feng couldn't sense the limits of his cultivation.
But now Hong Yun was fleeing in every direction like a stray dog, splitting into millions of red clouds.
Could a Sage be chasing him?
No, that can't be right. The gap between them would be impossible to overcome with speed alone.
Hong Yun wouldn't be able to get away.
As Qin Feng pondered this, two more vicious auras came from the distance.
"Give it up. You can't escape. Just hand over the Primordial Qi, and my brother and I won't make things difficult for you."
Then, behind the countless red clouds, two figures came hurtling toward them.
Their gazes never shifted.
No matter how many red clouds surrounded them, they kept pursuing one particular cloud.
That cloud was heading straight for the five immortal islands where they were.
Everyone felt a deep sense of dread.
Others might not know what the Primordial Qi was, but Qin Feng knew very well.
It was one of the treasures that could help a half-sage successfully attain the Dao.
From that brief exchange, he could tell that the countless red clouds being chased were Hong Yun from the Chat Group.
But who was chasing him?
Kunpeng?
It was possible. After all, Hong Yun and Kunpeng had some bad blood between them.
Hong Yun had been the reason Kunpeng lost his seat.
Now their karmic feud had finally come to a head.
But who was the other one?
Had Kunpeng tricked someone into helping him capture Hong Yun?
That wasn't impossible.
After all, the Primordial Qi was simply too tempting.
If Qin Feng hadn't had a Chat Group that gave him a chance to obtain it,
he might have tried to get his hands on it once his strength grew.
After all, that thing could help someone attain the Dao.
Half-sages were already the mightiest beings in this age, let alone those who had attained the Dao and become true Sages.
They stood at the very pinnacle of the world.
As far as Qin Feng knew, only one person had successfully attained the Dao so far: Dao Ancestor Hongjun.
He was the only one in all of Heaven and Earth.
That gave some idea of just how difficult it was to attain the Dao.
With the wails of his pursuers ringing behind him, Hong Yun had no intention of stopping.
He had already gone to tremendous lengths, even burning through his own cultivation, just to escape.
And he had finally made it out.
If he stopped now, wouldn't all his efforts have been for nothing?
After burning through his cultivation, he was no match for the two of them.
So his only option was to keep running.
If he could just reach his friend Zhen Yuanzi, Zhen Yuanzi would surely be able to protect him.
But the situation was dire.
As the three of them chased and fled, their auras drew closer.
All three were giving it everything they had and made no effort to conceal their auras.
Everyone on the five immortal islands, whether Human or demon, was already sprawled on the ground.
There was no helping it. The pressure of a Quasi-Saint was simply too much.
They couldn't withstand it and were forced to the ground.
Even so, they felt as if their bodies were about to shatter.
Qin Feng was holding up a little better, but he was close to dropping to his knees.
He'd been wondering whether to get involved in their business, but now he could barely look after himself.
There was no way he could interfere.
All he could do was watch them fly past, one chasing the other.
Above them, Hong Yun and Kunpeng swept straight across the East Sea.
Hong Yun's attention was fixed on the two pursuers behind him.
Kunpeng and his companion, meanwhile, had their eyes on Hong Yun.
Of course, none of them noticed the insignificant creatures on the islands below.
After all, these were beings who hadn't even broken through to the Grand Unity Golden Immortal realm.
How could they possibly catch the eye of half-sages like them?
The red light vanished as the three flew hundreds of thousands of miles away.
Only then did the pressure left behind finally fade.
But everyone still felt a jolt in their hearts.
They had nearly been reduced to ashes. Their Primordial Spirits might not have survived, either.
The pressure from a half-sage was simply too great.
It also strengthened Qin Feng's resolve to cultivate harder.
There was another reason, too: he didn't want to die.
Even if he didn't cultivate, he only had sixteen thousand years left to live.
In the Primordial World, that was no more than the blink of an eye.
As Qin Feng sighed, the Chat Group stirred.
[Today's random quiz is about to begin. The group will carry out the previous plan: randomly remove two members and bring in two newcomers.]
The Chat Group's announcement suddenly appeared in the minds of every member.
Qin Feng, the group owner, received the system notification as well.
After all, although his power had been completely stripped away, he was still technically the group owner.
Naturally, the system had to notify him.
Qin Feng was thrilled. He wanted to see which two people would be kicked out this time.
They were all Quasi-Saint powerhouses. If they were kicked out just like that, wouldn't they explode with rage?
But that was precisely what made it fun.
The Primordial World was like a stagnant pool, where everyone did nothing but scheme and fight.
There wasn't much else to enjoy.
Wouldn't that be far too boring?
If Qin Feng were in charge of the Chat Group, he probably couldn't come up with so many fun ideas.
Besides, he'd have to personally manage a lot of things, which sounded like a hassle.
He suddenly felt that the system turning evil didn't seem like such a bad thing.
