“Get back. Why are you sticking so close?”

Ouyang Kuangfei had squeezed Long Chengyu away from Chu Feng’s right, so the latter angrily squeezed his way back.

“Haha, I just wanted to check if Chu Feng has any discoveries,” Ouyang Kuangfei replied with a laugh. A thought suddenly popped into his mind, and he asked, “There is one thing you may not know about the Immemorial Massacre Sea. Do you know when it first appeared?”

“Aren’t you asking the obvious? It appeared in the Immemorial Era,” Long Chengyu replied.

“Wrong. According to my clan records, there were only the Immemorial Star Sea and the Immemorial Realm Sea in the Ancient Era. The Immemorial Massacre Sea didn’t exist then,” Ouyang Kuangfei stated.

“Your records might be off,” Long Chengyu scoffed.

“I knew you’d say that, so let me share a secret. It is stated in my clan records that someone saw the Immemorial Sea appearing out of thin air in the early years of the present era,” Ouyang Kuangfei replied.

“You’re saying that the Immemorial Massacre Sea appeared in the present era?” Little Fishy was baffled.

“Indeed. Miss, you catch on very quickly,” Ouyang Kuangfei excitedly replied, determined not to miss any opportunity to flatter Little Fishy.

“What else?” Little Fishy urged. “Our clan has maintained a low profile for a long time now. Aren’t you intrigued why we rushed here and even exposed ourselves as soon as changes started appearing with the Immemorial Massacre Sea?

“It’s because the powerhouses in the early years of the present era told our clansmen to obtain the treasure in the Immemorial Massacre Sea, no matter what it takes,” Ouyang Kuangfei said.

“Bullshit. The Immemorial Massacre Sea exudes an aura older than the Ancient Era, or else it wouldn’t have been known as one of the Three Seas of the Immemorial Sea in the first place.” Long Chengyu was skeptical.

“Auras can be faked,” Ouyang Kuangfei replied.

“Chu Feng, is the aura here fake?” Long Chengyu asked.

The crowd turned to Chu Feng. He was the authority on formations here.

“I can’t verify whether it is real or fake. It could be fake,” Chu Feng replied.

“Oh?”

Long Chengyu thought Ouyang Kuangfei was spouting nonsense, and he had his reason for thinking so.

Most present-era cultivator and world spiritist legacies were inherited from ancient remnants, yet the Immemorial Massacre Sea appeared in the early years of the present era?

There were many doubts surrounding that claim.

For instance, who could have the means to create something like that in the early years of the present era?

Not to mention the Immemorial Massacre Sea was acknowledged to be the most dangerous one of the Three Seas of the Immemorial Era. It was hard to believe something like that was created not in the Immemorial Era but in the present era.

This news, if true, could rattle the world of cultivation. Such information shouldn’t have been carelessly shared with newly met acquaintances.

While Long Chengyu doubted Ouyang Kuangfei’s claims, he trusted Chu Feng’s judgment.

“Does your clan have more information about the Immemorial Massacre Sea? It will be helpful if you can share those with us. We are on the same boat now, so we should help each other,” Chu Feng said.

The Ouyang Heavenly Clan’s juniors nodded vehemently. “That’s right. We should help each other!”

“Since we have decided to work together, we will live up to your trust as long as you don’t do anything that undermines our partnership.”

Chu Feng knew Ouyang Kuangfei had revealed this news as a token of sincerity for their partnership, so he candidly expressed his stance too.

“Chu Feng, we have long heard about your affairs and do not doubt your trustworthiness. However, I have already told you everything I know. Our clan happened to stumble upon the appearance of the Immemorial Massacre Sea, but we know nothing about its origin and what lies within it.

“A power has been restraining us, Ancient Era’s races, since the early years of the present era, restricting our freedom. The restraint only began weakening a thousand years ago.

“Our ancestors used a treasure to temporarily break free of the restraint. We immediately sent our most talented juniors into the Immemorial Massacre Sea, but none returned alive. We have been constantly sending juniors into the Immemorial Massacre Sea since, but it was futile.”

Ouyang Kuangfei sighed.

“Your clan is very fixated with the Immemorial Massacre Sea,” Long Chengyu remarked.

Ouyang Kuangfei shrugged.

“Our ancestors entrusted us with this mission, so our clansmen are determined to accomplish it. Due to the risks, we later limited the exploration of the Immemorial Massacre Sea to juniors who have reached a minimum strength threshold lest they die in vain. But the result was the same—no one returned alive from the Immemorial Massacre Sea.

“In the end, we decided to stop sending people in. We have lost too many brethren to the Immemorial Massacre Sea. Those people, with their talent, could have become important pillars of our clan had they survived the ordeal. The last time we sent anyone in was three hundred years ago.

“Even when the restraining power was completely lifted, our clan continued to distance ourselves from the Immemorial Massacre Sea. We only decided to give it another try because of the recent phenomenon. Our clan believes this could be a rare opportunity to conquer the Immemorial Massacre Sea,” Ouyang Kuangfei said.

“That explains why you came in here despite knowing the dangers. You are shouldering a mission,” Chu Feng said with a sigh.

“More people will arrive in due time. Our clan will likely give up on the Immemorial Massacre Sea for good if we fail this time too.”

Ouyang Kuangfei looked at Chu Feng with expectant and pleading eyes.

He knew what Chu Feng was capable of. If anyone could unlock the Immemorial Massacre Sea’s secrets, the person was most likely to be Chu Feng.

“I can’t make any promises about deciphering the Immemorial Massacre Sea, but as long as we aren’t forcefully separated, I’ll do my best to ensure everyone returns alive,” Chu Feng said.

Long Chengyu and the others were already used to it, but the Ouyang Heavenly Clan’s juniors threw their hands in the air and cheered.

Chu Feng understood where they were coming from.

These Ouyang Heavenly Clan’s juniors had entered this unholy place with conviction.

They were the cream of the crop among their peers, destined for a bright future, but they chose to risk their lives here to fulfill the mission entrusted to them by their ancestors.

It was foolish, but Chu Feng respected their spirit.
