Both of them kept their voices very low.
To outsiders, it sounded like intimate whispers.
On the seats of the Cangyun Sect.
Qin Hao's eyes darkened, and his right hand slowly clenched into a fist.
When Yao Yue faced him at the restaurant in the south of the city, although she smiled and talked, her eyes always carried a hint of mockery and contempt.
Now that she's beside Chu Yunfei, she adopts a completely different attitude.
This difference was more unacceptable to him than being slapped in public.
One Ling Xueyao is not enough.
One Wen Jiao is not enough.
Now even this mysterious woman in a black dress, whose origins are so enigmatic that even Li Ce can't fathom, is so familiar with Chu Yunfei.
On what grounds?
Qin Hao forcibly suppressed the burning jealousy in his chest, his eyes filled with an even stronger murderous intent.
Once you enter the secret realm, everything will end.
At that time, he will personally crush Chu Yunfei's dantian, letting these women see clearly who is the true prodigy worthy of their reliance.
Chu Yunfei ignored the gazes around him that were filled with jealousy, curiosity, or fear.
He looked up at the center of the platform.
There was only Ling Chengyuan there, dressed in a bright yellow robe.
Ling Xueyao did not appear.
Although Chu Yunfei already knew that Ling Zhantian would never allow her to show herself at this time, she still held onto a last glimmer of hope.
Now even that glimmer of hope has been dashed.
His fingertips, through his robes, gently touched the Flying Phoenix Warm Jade in his bosom, a fleeting glint of coldness in his eyes.
Ling Zhantian thought that by controlling Ling Xueyao, he could force her to submit obediently.
That dog emperor wouldn't understand.
Some people can be used to threaten others.
Some people, however, are the Achilles' heel that will surely kill you if you touch them.
Let's go.
Chu Yunfei withdrew his gaze, and together with Wen Daoyuan, Wen Buqi and the others, they took to the air and landed on a suspended platform on the west side of the square.
Although the Pill Pavilion is not one of the Six Sects, it controls most of the pill distribution in the Eastern Continent.
Now that the Jade Firmament Sect has been destroyed, a huge gap has appeared in the field of alchemy in the Eastern Continent, Pill Pavilion is now the only dominant one, so it is naturally qualified to occupy a place there alone.
Chu Yunfei had just sat down when a series of heavy footsteps came from in front of him.
"Brother Chu, how have you been?"
His voice was loud and clear, filled with undisguised surprise.
Chu Yunfei looked up.
A burly young man with thick eyebrows and a square face strode over; it was none other than Wu Changge, the Holy Son of the Divine Martial Sect.
Beside him stood Wu Mingyue, dressed in a blue outfit with a silver short gun hanging at her waist, her bright and pretty face full of curiosity.
Her gaze first swept over Wen Jiao, then lingered for a moment on Yao Yue's purple eyes, before finally settling on Chu Yunfei.
It's only been half a month since we last met.
The man's aura was restrained, and it was many times more profound than when he was in the Jingyuan Hall.
She had clearly already entered the Divine Sea Realm First Level, but when facing Chu Yunfei, the spiritual power within her body felt slightly sluggish.
Wu Mingyue's heart trembled slightly.
Just what level has this guy reached?
Chu Yunfei stood up, cupped his hands in greeting, and said with a smile, "Brother Wu, Miss Wu, how have you been?"
Wu Changge walked closer, first looking Chu Yunfei up and down a few times, then grinned.
"Brother Chu, I've been looking for you everywhere."
"Rumors are circulating that you were secretly plotted against by the Cangyun Sect and the Puppet Sect, and your body was never found. I wanted to go looking for you, but the sect elders forbade me to leave the city without permission. Now that I see you are safe and sound, I am relieved."
He spoke very loudly, making no attempt to hide his voice.
Many elders in the Cangyun Sect and Puppet Sect camps turned grim.
Wu Changge, however, didn't care at all.
His gaze swept over Wen Jiao and Yao Yue, then he let out a heartfelt sigh:
"I never expected Brother Chu to have improved so rapidly in just half a month. I truly admire you!"
Chu Yunfei was slightly taken aback.
He now completely concealed his aura, his divine brilliance hidden, making it extremely difficult for others to perceive his true strength. How could Wu Changge, who was only at the Divine Sea Realm First Level, see through him at a glance?
Chu Yunfei's eyes lit up with interest, and he asked, "How did Brother Wu figure that out?"
Wu Changge looked completely at ease and pointed at Wen Jiao and Yao Yue.
"It's obvious."
"Only strong, robust men or those with great power can protect more women. Back in the Jingyuan Hall, you only had Her Highness the Princess by your side, but now you have two more, which means your strength must be much greater than before."
Chu Yunfei's lips twitched.
Only by becoming stronger can one be qualified to have more women?
What's the logic behind this?
Wen Jiao's cheeks flushed slightly as she turned her head to look at Chu Yunfei, her eyes filled with a hint of resentment.
Yao Yue's purple eyes widened as if she'd been stepped on, and she shouted angrily, "Who's his woman? Don't spout nonsense, you big guy! I... I have absolutely no relationship with him!"
Wu Changge looked at her carefully for a moment.
"If you have nothing to do with Brother Chu, why have you been standing by his side all this time?"
Yao Yue was taken aback by the question, her pretty face flushing red and then turning pale.
She couldn't very well say in front of so many people that she was afraid her cultivation would be intermittent and that she had to stay by Chu Yunfei's side to be whipped and recover, could she?
"I..."
Yao Yue gritted her teeth, wishing she could whip Wu Changge's mouth to pieces.
Hearing her brother's shocking remarks, Wu Mingyue's pretty face instantly turned red, and she wished she could find a crack in the ground to crawl into.
She raised her hand to her forehead, saying helplessly, "Brother, can you please stop talking? If you keep spouting nonsense, you'll completely disgrace the Divine Martial Sect."
Wu Changge's thick eyebrows furrowed, and he said unhappily, "Little sister, what I'm saying is the truth. Don't you agree?"
"Besides, Brother Chu is powerful, and a beautiful woman is devoted to him. What's wrong with that?"
Wu Mingyue rolled her eyes, too lazy to pay any more attention to her single-minded brother.
She turned to look at Chu Yunfei, and said with a hint of apology, "Young Master Chu, please don't take offense. My brother has always been outspoken, and his thoughts and words are different from ordinary people. You don't need to take his words to heart."
Chu Yunfei smiled and said, "It's alright. Brother Wu is straightforward and doesn't have many schemes or plots. I actually admire that."
Wu Changge burst into laughter upon hearing this.
"Brother Chu truly understands me."
"Once we enter the secret realm, if there's an opportunity, we'll have a serious match. I recently mastered a new Divine Martial Sect technique, and my strength is now vastly different from before."
His voice gradually lowered, and the smile on his face faded somewhat.
"However, there's something I still need to remind you of."
"This competition is strange in every way. Although the sect elders haven't said it outright, I can tell they are extremely wary of the Heavenly Mystic Secret Realm."
"You have many enemies. Be careful once you enter the secret realm, lest you be plotted against by someone."
Chu Yunfei's eyes flickered slightly.
Wu Changge's initiative to offer this reminder at such a time clearly stemmed from genuine goodwill.
"Thank you for the reminder, Brother Wu. I've noted it down."
Seeing that Chu Yunfei's expression was calm, Wu Changge knew that the other party was already prepared, so he did not continue to say anything more.
He cupped his hands in a respectful gesture and said in a deep voice, "Be careful in all matters. We'll meet again in the secret realm."
Before leaving, Wu Mingyue glanced at Chu Yunfei one last time.
For some reason, she felt that Chu Yunfei was unusually calm today.
That calm was not a sign of ignorance of danger.
It was more like a ferocious beast that had already smelled blood, and had willingly entered the hunting ground.
Just as Wu Changge and Wu Mingyue returned to the Divine Martial Sect's camp, a voice filled with anger boomed across the square.
Chu Yunfei!
"You actually dare to show your face? You're truly courting death!"
The powerful spiritual energy, carrying the sound, overwhelmed the noise of hundreds of thousands of people, causing the array patterns in the square to glow slightly.
Everyone looked in the direction of the sound.
Within the Puppet Sect's ranks, an elderly man in a gray robe slowly stood up, his face grim; it was none other than Qi Yuanshan.
The oppressive aura of the Divine Sea Realm Seventh Level emanated from his body, transforming into a layer of chilling energy, and his killing intent firmly locked onto Chu Yunfei.
Qi Yuanshan stepped forward and shouted sternly, "You set a trap outside the imperial city, killed Elder Han Kui of my Puppet Sect, and stole his personal storage ring!"
"You must pay for this blood debt to the Puppet Sect today, in front of all the forces of the Eastern Continent!"
The words had barely left his mouth.
Another white-haired elder from the Cangyun Sect camp stood up.
This person was dressed in a dark blue Daoist robe, with narrow eyes. Helan Ci, a powerful elder of the Cangyun Sect, and also had the Divine Sea Realm Seventh Level.
Elder Qi is right.
Helan Ci stared coldly at Chu Yunfei, her voice filled with killing intent. "My Cangyun Sect Elder Chen Xuanhai also perished outside the imperial city at the same time."
" Chu Yunfei, if you don't give me an explanation today, don't even think about entering the Heavenly Mystic Secret Realm alive."
Two sect elders launched an attack simultaneously.
The entire central square suddenly fell silent.
