Chu Feng: Your Master Has Your Back

Achoo!

The Great Void Secret Realm, inside a mountain cave.

A young man with an imposing expression and an aura of authority in every gesture subconsciously rubbed his nose.

"Strange, I Lei Aojie, have clearly already Half-Step Spirit Nurturing, so how could I still catch a cold?"

He glanced at the quiet cave and murmured, "I don't know how long I've been in seclusion. This time, I've brought myself to within half a step of Perfection of Sword Intent. After I return, I'll go into seclusion for another six months, and then I can break through to the Spirit Nurturing stage and Perfection of Sword Intent at the same time."

"What will that brute Chao Xiu use to withstand my Heavenly Lightning Sword Formation then?!"

Having said that, Lei Aojie was in high spirits and prepared to go out to gather the disciples of the Great Evolution Holy Land, ready to leave the Great Void Secret Realm at any time.

Lei Aojie was highly skilled and arrogant, making no attempt to conceal his identity. However, he soon realized something was amiss.

The passersby around him looked at him with nothing but schadenfreude.

Just as Lei Aojie was about to grab someone to ask what was going on, a familiar divine sense transmission sounded in his ear.

"Senior Brother, stop flying! Be careful you don't attract attention."

"Um?"

Lei Aojie's face immediately showed displeasure. As one of the candidates for the Holy Son of the Great Evolution Holy Land, was he afraid of being hunted down?

He scanned the area with his divine sense and suddenly spotted a familiar figure.

Why would Wang Lie call me "Senior Brother" now? This kid usually treats me with complete indifference.

Despite his doubts, Lei Aojie still descended from the sky and landed beside Wang Lie, seeing him with two disheveled junior brothers.

Lei Aojie frowned slightly. "Junior Brother Wang, what's wrong with you? Where's your Black Venerable?"

Wang Lie glanced around and gave a wry smile, "Senior Brother, don't even mention it. Black Venerable's brains were splattered out by Tyrant Fist Cao Youqian Dao-Seeking Academy. As for our Great Evolution Holy Land, our current situation isn't much better than Black Venerable's."

???

Lei Aojie narrowed his eyes, a cold glint in them. "Junior brother, what do you mean by that?"

well...

Wang Lie sighed deeply and slowly said, "This is what happened."

Lei Aojie's eyes nearly popped out of their sockets after hearing Wang Lie's words.

"Are you telling the truth? Xiao Chen and Cao Youqian from the Dao-Seeking Academy have cultivated their Sword Intent and Fist Intent to perfection, respectively?"

Wang Lie nodded with a wry smile, "Senior Brother, what can I possibly hide from you now? What we need to do now is wait for the Great Void Secret Realm to end, then teleport out and tell the sect elders about this. If we all perish here, then no one will avenge our fallen comrades."

Upon hearing these words, Lei Aojie, who had been full of confidence, had a constantly changing expression on his face. After a long while, he spoke up, "Junior Brother Wang, you did the right thing. Is it safe here?"

"..."

Wang Lie and the others were taken aback for a moment. "It's relatively safe."

"Let's squeeze in then."

Lei Aojie said without batting an eye, secretly vowing in his heart, "Xiao Chen, you just wait, one day I'll get my revenge."

"The Great Void Secret Realm is about to end. Everyone, please follow me to fetch our disciple."

Inside the palace, the King Hengjiang addressed the crowd with a dignified expression.

"Promise!"

After everyone responded, they followed behind King Hengjiang and flew together into Great Void Valley.

When Chu Feng and his group arrived, cultivators from various forces, large and small, were already waiting for them.

However, the expressions of the leaders of various forces varied; some were ashen-faced, some were filled with murderous intent, and others were all smiles.

Everyone from the Dao-Seeking Academy, except for Chu Feng who remained calm, was all smiling.

This time, the Dao-Seeking Academy only lost five disciples, which far exceeded everyone's expectations.

They'll have plenty to brag about when they get back.

Just then, the gates of the Great Void Secret Realm opened, and Xiao Chen led the group from the Dao-Seeking Academy out in a grand procession, followed by disciples from other holy land forces.

Chu Feng saw Xiao Chen and the others walk straight out, and a happy smile appeared on his face.

Xiao Chen, leading his disciples, respectfully bowed and said, "We pay our respects to our elders."

No need for formalities.

King Hengjiang smiled and said, "You've all worked hard. Let's go back to camp and talk about it."

"Promise!"

Xiao Chen responded, and the disciples followed behind King Hengjiang and the others back to the Dao-Seeking Academy's camp.

After everyone landed, each academy began to take stock of its disciples.

Chu Feng looked at the extra girl in the purple dress and asked, "Who is she?"

Cao Youqian immediately stepped forward and said, "Master, her name is Song Zhaoyi, she is my dear younger sister."

Chu Feng nodded slightly. "Xiao Yi, go back and let your elders in the sect know you're safe, then come find Daqian."

"Promise."

Song Zhaoyi also wanted to see her elders and tell them what had happened in the Great Void Secret Realm.

She looked at Cao Youqian with affection, waved her hand, and said, "Brother Tyrant Fist, I'm going back now. Goodbye."

Take care.

Cao Youqian had no intention of seeing Song Zhaoyi off; he simply watched her leave.

As Chu Feng watched the person walk away, he chuckled and joked, "I didn't expect you to find a new love so quickly in Daqian."

Upon hearing this, Cao Youqian immediately became anxious. "Master, please don't play matchmaker! She's really just my dear sister."

Chu Feng quipped with amusement, "Indeed, purple has a lot of charm."

Cao Youqian: "..."

"Alright, tell me what happened to you in the Great Void Secret Realm?" Chu Feng changed the subject, bringing the conversation to the main point.

Xiao Chen stepped forward and said, "Master, we almost wiped out all the cultivators from the Great Evolution Holy Land in the Great Void Secret Realm."

After he finished speaking, everyone looked at Chu Feng cautiously, but to their surprise, Chu Feng showed no surprise at all.

Chu Feng nodded slightly. "As expected of the disciple I taught, he doesn't hold grudges overnight. I'm sure the Great Evolution Holy Land will be coming after us soon. Chen'er, you come with me to give Senior King Hengjiang some information."

Qin Qin asked, "Master, aren't you angry?"

Chu Feng laughed, "Why would your master be angry? Do you think I would stop you from taking revenge? Don't worry, no matter what you do, I'll cover for you. Let's go."

"Master, I'm going too."

As soon as Cao Youqian finished speaking, Qin Qin and Little Fatty stepped forward and said in unison, "Master, let's go too."

Chu Feng said, rather annoyed, "Fine, I'll take you all with me."

Before long, Chu Feng arrived at King Hengjiang's tent with his four disciples and informed King Hengjiang of what had happened in the Great Void Secret Realm.

After listening to Xiao Chen's explanation, King Hengjiang was stunned for a moment before speaking, "Well done, excellent! Xiao Chen, you truly deserve to be a candidate for Holy Son of our Dao-Seeking Academy. This time, you have demonstrated the prestige of our Dao-Seeking Academy!"

???

Xiao Chen and his group all wore expressions of utter confusion.

It's normal that Master doesn't blame them, so why doesn't Senior King Hengjiang blame them either?

King Hengjiang seemed to have read their minds and said with a smile, "What, you little rascals, are you having second thoughts now?"

Xiao Chen shook his head, his expression exceptionally firm. "Once we sword cultivators unleash our sword, there is no turning back."

"Ha ha..."

King Hengjiang laughed heartily, "Youth is indeed a blessing! Rest assured, even if the people from the Great Evolution Holy Land come knocking on your door, I will protect you."

Even if I have to stay here, I will ensure your safe return to the Dao-Seeking Academy. I will absolutely not allow those old bastards from the Great Evolution Holy Land to lay a finger on you!

As soon as he finished speaking, a powerful pressure enveloped the entire Dao-Seeking Academy camp, followed by an old, angry voice coming from the sky.

"You brats from the Dao-Seeking Academy, get out here right now!!!"
