Chapter 389: Chapter 400: Reunion with the Celestial Ape

Chu Linfeng glanced at the elder and said, ”If you want me to answer, I can, but I hope you let my friends leave here. Otherwise, I won’t say anything, even if I die here. Coming to the Canglan Ancient Land means I’ve already put life and death aside.”

”You have courage, but it’s useless in my presence. Killing you is as easy as crushing an ant, so don’t test my patience,” the Vice Hall Master said.

”Even ants have dignity. I believe the Vice Hall Master wouldn’t kill someone who he sees as just an ant without reason. I’ve said all I need to say; do as you wish,” Chu Linfeng said fearlessly.

”What’s your name? Which sect are you from? What brings you to the Magic Beast Forest?” the Vice Hall Master asked in a changing tone.

”I’ve said it many times, we were accidentally transported to the Magic Beast Forest. This is the first time we’ve been to the Canglan Ancient Land. Since you don’t believe me, there’s nothing I can do. I am Chu Linfeng,” Chu Linfeng replied somewhat impatiently.

”Chu Linfeng? Why does this name sound so familiar?” the Vice Hall Master said.

”Vice Hall Master, just kill them already. They can’t possibly be from a major sect, so why hesitate? I’m willing to do it!” said a man with a full beard.

”Slay them. The Magic Beast Forest is no place for humans to enter at will!” someone said.

Suddenly, everyone in the hall began to demand the execution of Chu Linfeng and his group. The Vice Hall Master hesitated because the Hall Master had said that a young man would appear in the Magic Beast Forest and must be treated as a VIP, but Chu Linfeng and others appeared together.

At that moment, a voice rang out from outside the hall: ”The Hall Master is here!”

Suddenly, everyone stood up, surprised that the Hall Master, who was supposed to be in secluded cultivation, appeared so suddenly, though it was surely related to these arrivals.

An elder slowly walked in from outside the hall. Chu Linfeng didn’t look at the so-called Hall Master; he was still thinking about how to escape with everyone, though the chance seemed slim but worth trying.

”I heard our West King Hall has welcomed some of the Human Race, so I came here to check. Why do I hear that you’re discussing their execution?” the elder said while walking.

The Vice Hall Master looked at the elder and said, ”These individuals have unknown origins and refuse to answer questions, thus everyone requests their execution. I’m undecided. Since you’re here, please decide.”

Neither Meng Ji nor Ouyang Qian turned around, thinking it’s better to die with dignity than to be submissive, even in death.

”These few? Their strength seems mediocre. How did they reach the Magic Beast Forest?” the elder asked.

”They said they were transported from the Sea Domain, their first time coming to the Canglan Ancient Land. We’re doubtful,” the Vice Hall Master replied.

The elder looked at the shackled Yuwen Qingkong and Chu Linyue, and the Golden Demon Vulture said, ”Managing to use a Golden Demon Vulture as a mount suggests they have considerable influence.”

He then approached Chu Linfeng, Meng Ji, and Ouyang Qian. Observing Meng Ji and Ouyang Qian, he found their strength impressive, and Meng Ji gave him a mysterious feeling as if an invisible force was concealing her identity.

But when he looked at Chu Linfeng, his expression suddenly changed, becoming extremely excited, and he made a surprising gesture in front of everyone.

He knelt on one knee before Chu Linfeng and said excitedly, ”Celestial Ape pays respects to the master. Please forgive my ignorance!”

The stark contrast shocked everyone, as the Hall Master of the West King Hall called this young man his master, which was unprecedented and laughable.

Chu Linfeng was initially stunned but quickly realized that this elder was the giant ape he once saved in a cave.

”Elder Yuan, please stand up. This is really surprising,” Chu Linfeng said.

Meng Ji and Ouyang Qian also looked at Chu Linfeng with confusion. The sudden change was hard to grasp, feeling like a leap from hell to heaven.

Others were puzzled, with someone asking, ”Hall Master, why do you call this human master? What’s going on?”

”Hahaha! Didn’t I tell you that if someone from the Celestial Dragon Empire arrived at the Magic Beast Forest, you must treat them as a VIP? This person might be my master from the past.

The person you see is my master from the past. After the Divine Battlefield, he disappeared, and I encountered him again by chance. Release his friends immediately,” the elder said.

The Hall Master’s words were naturally obeyed, so they immediately released Yuwen Qingkong and the others, instantly changing their attitude significantly.

Chu Linyue walked up to Chu Linfeng, saying, ”Lin Feng, I really can’t understand you anymore. Are you still the Chu Linfeng I know? Your secrets are overwhelming, each more astonishing than the last.”

Chu Linfeng laughed, ”I am still the original Lin Feng. Lin Yue, no matter my identity, you are always my sister who grew up with me. That will never change.”

”Master, please be seated. I thought it would take decades for you to reach the Canglan Ancient Land. It’s truly surprising,” Celestial Ape said.

”Elder Yuan, you’re too kind. I never expected you to be the Hall Master of the West King Hall. Had I known, we wouldn’t have had this misunderstanding,” Chu Linfeng laughed.

The Vice Hall Master also changed his attitude, saying, ”I never imagined you were the Hall Master’s master. Back when the Hall Master followed you to battle many heroes, it was truly magnificent. However, I’m puzzled why your strength has regressed so much.”

Chu Linfeng smiled, ”I suffered severe injuries during the Divine Battlefield. To completely thwart the Lonely Demon Venerable’s plot, I was forced to reincarnate, which took ten thousand years, naturally causing my strength to gradually redevelop.”

With this explanation, everyone understood. Not many knew the Hall Master’s master, but those who fought in the Divine Battlefield were at least Saint Martial Realm experts, and the Hall Master had the Seventh Layer of Saint Martial Realm strength, yet he willingly recognized a human as his master, indicating his master’s overwhelming power.

”Please forgive our earlier disrespect. I represent everyone in the hall in apologizing to you and will host a grand feast later, personally punishing myself with three drinks,” the Vice Hall Master said.

Although some people felt dissatisfied with Chu Linfeng, given the Hall Master and Vice Hall Master’s respect, no one dared voice grievances.

Chu Linfeng said, ”Now that I’m at the West King Hall, everyone need not be too formal; treat me as a regular human. Our meeting is fate; in this world where the strong prey on the weak, only by uniting in hatred against common enemies can we strengthen ourselves.

I hope those against me can dispel prejudice; I assure you, someday, I, Chu Linfeng, will make the entire Canglan Ancient Land revere the West King Hall...”
