Chapter 5866: Another Formidable Enemy

When Chu Feng took a second look, he realized that Wen Xue hadnt really woken up.

What was that? Was it just an illusion? No, it couldnt have been just an illusion.

Panicked? Wen Xues voice echoed in his ears.

Wen Xues eyes remained tightly shut, but Chu Feng was certain the voice had come from her. This meant that the earlier sight he saw was unlikely to be an illusion. Wen Xue must have used some kind of ability to make him see an illusion.

An ability that could deceive Chu Feng was, without a doubt, formidable.

You did it on purpose? You intentionally saved Zi Ling to evoke the sectmaster and Zi Lings guilt, so as to spur me to return your Life Soul to you? Chu Feng asked via voice transmission.

He sensed that he had fallen for her trap.

Do I look like that kind of person? Chu Feng, youre a world spiritist. Cant you tell that my life was really in danger? If not for my master doting on Zi Ling, I wouldnt have put myself at risk to save her. I put my life on the line to save your woman, so dont you think youre being too much to suspect me? Wen Xue replied with an angry and indignant voice.

Why feign asleep when youre awake? Why dont we just openly talk things out? Chu Feng asked.

I can get up, but Im angered by how despicable you are. You returned my Life Soul to me, but you secretly placed a binding formation on it. Do you want me to get up now and tell my master and Senior Zi Ling about this? Wen Xue asked.

Go ahead. Youre a dangerous existence, so I had to prepare a hand. I wouldnt have hurt you as long as you didnt do evil, Chu Feng said.

Do evil? You mean... killing your woman? Wen Xue suddenly asked.

Boom!

A surge of murderous intent poured out of Chu Feng. He lurched forward, grabbed Wen Xues collars, and lifted her.

Chu Feng!!! The sectmaster and Zi Ling were taken aback.

They were unaware that Wen Xue had regained consciousness; they thought that she was still in a vulnerable, recovering phase.

Chu Feng paid no heed to the two of them. He glared at Wen Xue as he asked, Why dont you try repeating those words once more?

Wen Xue finally opened her eyes. She dropped the act and looked at Chu Feng with indignant eyes, saying, Im joking! You dont have to get so agitated. Be a bit gentler; I havent recovered yet.

Wen Xue, youre awake?

The sectmaster and Zi Ling realized that a conversation must have transpired between Wen Xue and Chu Feng, or else Chu Feng wouldnt have reacted in such a manner.

Master, I just woke up. Thank you, master. Thank you Senior Zi Ling for pleading on my behalf. Otherwise, Chu Feng wouldnt have returned my Life Soul to me. Wen Xue looked at the two of them with aggrieved eyes.

Junior Wen Xue, what did you say to my big brother Chu Feng? Zi Lings eyes werent as gentle as before.

She had helped Wen Xue because she owed the latter one for saving her life, but Chu Feng was far more important to her. She was aware that Wen Xue had once tried to harm Chu Feng, and she wouldnt hesitate to hurt Wen Xue if she tried to do it again.

Senior, I was just joking around with Chu Feng, Wen Xue said.

What did you joke about? Zi Ling coldly asked.

Before Wen Xue could reply, Chu Feng interjected, I didnt trust Wen Xue. I slipped in a formation into her Life Soul, so she questioned me about it when she regained consciousness.

He released Wen Xue as he spoke.

Junior Wen Xue, its understandable why Chu Feng doesnt trust you after what happened between the two of you. I hope that you wont blame him for doing what he did, Zi Ling said.

I know, Senior Zi Ling. I dont blame him. I have already unraveled the formation anyway, Wen Xue replied with a bright smile.

Both the sectmaster and Zi Ling were taken aback. This meant that Wen Xue had grown stronger than they had thought.

Wen Xue, you cant joke around about everything. You would have died if not for Chu Feng. Hurry up and thank him! the sectmaster said.

Thank you, Junior Chu Feng. It should be fine for me to call you that, right? Wen Xue asked with a sweet smile.

Her fair complexion paired with her young appearance made her look exceptionally obedient. Her smile evoked fondness.

Wen Xue, you have my grat.i.tude for saving Zi Ling, but we have returned the favor by returning your Life Soul to you. Ill bury the hatchet between us, but I hope youll become a better person. Dont let down our sectmasters expectations of you.

If you turn over a new leaf and be loyal to the Hidden Dragon Martial Sect, Ill treat you well as a fellow sectmember too. Conversely, if you attempt to harm not just Zi Ling but anyone else in the Hidden Dragon Martial Sect, I wont let you off the hook, Chu Feng said.

He walked up to Zi Ling, retracted his killing intent, and grinned. Its fine, Zi Ling. She was just joking around with me. I got a little agitated as my nerves were still tense from the earlier battle.

His smile was so gentle that it looked as if nothing had happened earlier.

How sweet. Im envious, Wen Xue said. She turned to the sectmaster and asked, Master, hows the battle outside?

It has been settled. You dont have to worry, the sectmaster replied.

All of a sudden, her face darkened.

Sensing that something was amiss, Chu Feng and Zi Ling hurriedly asked, Whats wrong, Lord Sectmaster?

Someone else has entered our Ancestral Martial Galaxy.

Who is it? Chu Feng, Zi Ling, and Wen Xue asked.

It seems to be the Seven Realms Sacred Mansion.

Seven Realms Sacred Mansion? Chu Feng frowned.

...

Three gigantic spirit formation gates had appeared right outside the Ancestral Martial Galaxy. Fifty flying wars.h.i.+ps flew out from the spirit formation gates.

On the deck of the frontmost flying wars.h.i.+p stood the experts of the Seven Realms Sacred Mansion, with Jie Tianran, Chu Fengs maternal grandfather and the Seven Realms Sacred Mansions Mansion Master, standing at the very front.

Jie Tianran looked at the ma.s.sive city that spanned the size of a realm floating in the middle of s.p.a.ce with excited eyes.
