The other members of the Chu clan were so terrified that they scrambled away in all directions.
"Chu Chen..."
"I will not let you go!"
Chu Feng stared coldly at Chu Chen.
Then, he turned and left.
Swift and decisive in his actions when disagreements arose.
This was consistent with Chu Feng's usual demeanor.
As for Chu Chen, he lay limply on the ground, his face blank with shock.
A single thought repeated endlessly in his mind.
"It's over!"
"Completely over!"
"Chu Feng, his martial talent is too terrifying! I've brought trouble upon myself..."
Chu Chen wept bitterly.
The more astonishing Chu Feng's potential proved to be, the less tolerant the clan elders would be of him.
Once Chu Feng became an elite disciple!
Even if he were just an ordinary disciple, the Chu family elders.
'Would vie to take him as a disciple and cultivate him with the full might of the clan.'
And he would only be relegated to a supporting role, forever inferior to Chu Feng.
*Bang!*
A token shattered.
Immediately, the ethereal, spirit-like figure of a middle-aged man in a green robe materialized.
He looked down, his face full of gloom, and after a long silence.
He slowly spoke, "That brat Chu Tianyang has truly sired a good son."
Chu Chen heard these words.
Instantly, his face turned ashen, his eyes filled with terror.
Because this middle-aged man in green was one of the two ancestors of the Chu clan, possessing a cultivation of the ninth stage of the Divine Core realm!
A being at this level could easily suppress any martial lord in the Southern Ridge!
Even Chu Feng would be no match for an ancestor at this level!
"What exactly did this Chu Feng do?"
"Why has he angered Ancestor Two?"
Chu Feng, severely wounded, was struck by Ancestor Two's palm, injuring his heart meridian, rendering him unable to use his spiritual energy for healing.
Consequently, Chu Feng soon fell into a coma.
Meanwhile, Chu Tianyang was also suppressed by Ancestor Two, his cultivation sealed, and he was thrown into the black prison.
According to the Chu clan's rules.
Regardless of status, anyone who violated clan rules must be imprisoned in the black prison and endure a thousand years of fiery torment.
Chu Tianyang fell into this category!
Deep within this secret hall were hundreds of black prisons, all constructed from special materials, exceptionally sturdy.
Chu Feng lay within, unconscious.
Chu Chen stood before Chu Feng, his eyes filled with intense hatred and unwillingness.
"Chu Feng!"
"You forced me to do this!"
"You destroyed my greatest hope!"
"Since that's the case, I don't need to hold back anymore!"
Chu Chen gritted his teeth.
Immediately, a formidable aura erupted from his entire body.
Simultaneously.
On the wall of the secret hall, a massive array pattern suddenly glowed.
In an instant, a raging inferno engulfed Chu Feng.
"Chu Feng!"
"This is the Soul Devouring Flame Array, specifically designed to torment people."
"Once caught in this array, even a powerful Martial Sovereign realm expert."
"Cannot resist the burning pain, let alone you?"
"You can wait and enjoy it slowly!"
Chu Chen laughed heartily.
Without hesitation, he turned and left!
Chu Feng was finished!
His future was completely ruined!
He didn't need to stay by Chu Feng's side to be an eyesore anymore.
"Chu Feng, just wait."
"After you are tortured to death by the Soul Devouring Flame Array."
"That beast heart containing a powerful physique will be mine!"
Chu Chen's face was filled with anticipation.
He couldn't wait to dig up the beast heart.
...
...
In a desolate mountain valley.
Chu Chen sat cross-legged, surrounded by numerous crystal-clear spirit stones, like drops of water!
Chu Chen circulated his energy, regulating his injuries.
In just a moment.
Chu Chen's injuries healed, and he was as good as new.
"Body Refining Chapter, second level, perfect completion."
"Just a little more, and I'll reach the perfect realm!
At that time, my physical body will be comparable to a top-tier treasure!"
"As long as I reach the Xiantian limit and condense a Qi armor, I will be invincible below the Xiantian realm!"
"Just wait."
"Chu Feng!"
"This time, I will personally watch you die!"
Chu Chen's eyes glinted with ferocity and coldness.
At this moment, the communication jade slip hanging at his waist vibrated.
Chu Chen picked it up and looked at it, his face instantly turning as pale as paper.
"Ancestor Two!"
"This is bad, Ancestor Two!"
"Please return quickly to save me!"
A stern voice echoed from the communication jade slip: "Chu Chen, what's going on?
Could it be that Chu Feng has come back to kill you again?"
"Yes, Ancestor Two!"
"Chu Feng has returned!"
"And he has already broken through to the sixth level of the Xiantian realm!"
"This news just came back, the clan leader and the elders haven't reacted yet..."
Chu Chen complained, embellishing the story.
"Oh, I see..."
"In that case, I can offer you some assistance.
After all, Chu Feng's talent is exceptional, and he will surely surpass you in the future!"
"Tonight, you will lure this person into the black prison!"
"I will secretly cast a secret technique to make him momentarily lose his senses!
At that time, you can seize the opportunity to activate the array pattern and burn him to ashes!"
Chu Chen quickly agreed. "Yes, sir!"
"Thank you for your guidance, Ancestor Two."
Chu Chen kowtowed respectfully.
...
...
Night fell.
In the Chu clan's council hall.
"Ancestor Two, do you really have a way to deal with Chu Feng?"
"He has a third-grade bloodline, but he possesses two King Marks... his strength is too terrifying."
"In just half a month, his martial cultivation has increased by three levels!"
Chu Tianyang frowned, his heart filled with worry.
A month ago, Chu Feng had just returned.
At that time, Chu Chen had boasted that Chu Feng, the good-for-nothing, was just a fleeting phenomenon.
As a result, in just half a month, Chu Feng had broken through to the eighth level of the Xiantian realm.
He had even defeated a Martial Lord?
"Heh heh!"
"You know his martial talent is heaven-defying."
"Then, his rapid rise is definitely not just due to luck!"
"He must have his own unique aspects, or perhaps a life-saving item left to him by some powerful being..."
"Such a treasure must not fall into the hands of that scoundrel Chu Feng."
"We must seize it."
"This is the righteous path!"
Chu Kuangren narrowed his eyes, staring at Chu Tianyang.
Chu Feng was exceptionally talented.
However, he was, after all, Chu Kuangren's direct descendant.
Since ancient times, Chu Kuangren had seventeen direct descendants.
Among them, only three direct descendants were born into the world, known as prodigies, hailed as the Three Heroes. As for Chu Chen, Chu Tianyang, and Chu Feng, they were collateral descendants of Chu Kuangren.
"Ancestor Two speaks wisely."
Chu Tianyang flattered him.
Then, he couldn't help but ask, "Ancestor Two, should we inform Father about this matter?"
"No rush!"
"Let's not worry about Chu Feng for now."
"During this period, I have already dispatched clan elders to the Southern Ridge to prepare to capture that demon dragon."
"This demon dragon is of immense value! It is a true King-tier ferocious flood dragon, with a powerful bloodline, comparable to a royal war pet!"
"I intend to have the Chu family elders use formations to capture it and send it to the black prison, for me to refine into a puppet clone!"
