Martial God Asura

Chapter 6278: Shocking News

“Clan chief, that stutterer is right. Chu Feng’s talent is unfathomable. His bloodline is at least at Saint King-tier, and there’s a good chance it might have surpassed that. No wonder he has such a powerful person backing him!” Huangfu Zhantian intentionally mentioned Chu Feng’s backing.

When Chu Feng stole the Immemorial Bloodline Tower’s energy, Huangfu Zhantian informed the clan chief about his encounter with Song Changsheng to discourage the clan chief from messing with Chu Feng.

That was why the clan chief remained calm when Chu Feng went to the Huangfu Heavenly Clan to negotiate. The clan chief had his reservations.

Even so, Huangfu Zhantian was still worried that the clan chief would change his mind, especially given the history between Chu Feng and Huangfu Shengyu.

The clan chief had doted on Huangfu Shengyu from a young age, which gave rise to the latter’s arrogant personality. Huangfu Shengyu had suffered a huge setback to Chu Feng back then. Would the clan chief let things slip when Huangfu Shengyu had suffered a huge setback to Chu Feng?

If Huangfu Shengyu harbored a grudge against Chu Feng, the odds were that the clan chief would get even with Chu Feng on his behalf.

Huangfu Zhantian was worried that they would renege on their promise.

“Father!”

Right after Huangfu Zhantian said those words, Huangfu Shengyu shot to his feet and exclaimed, “I was the one at fault at the Nine Heavens’ Zenith. Even for the Immemorial Bloodline Tower’s energy, I wouldn’t have been able to assimilate it without Chu Feng’s help, let alone awaken it. I am in awe of Chu Feng’s talent.”

Huangfu Zhantian was stunned.

Huh? Did this lad get possessed? Why is he so different from usual? Not only is he not complaining to his father, but he’s even advising his father not to get back at Chu Feng?

“You two. Look at my face.” The clan chief pointed at his face.

Those two stared at the clan chief’s face, but they didn’t see anything.

“Do I look like a fool to you?” the clan chief asked.

“Huh?” Those two were stunned.

“Do you think I need your convincing?” The Huangfu Heavenly Clan’s Clan Chief stood up, rolled his eyes at those two, before continuing, “Putting aside Chu Feng’s backing, I’d be a fool to turn someone of his capability and potential into an enemy. If not for him, Shengyu wouldn’t have been able to assimilate that energy, raise his bloodline, and advance his cultivation. Who knows? He might be able to help Shengyu even more in the future.

“And as you have mentioned, Chu Feng has formidable backing. The man you have encountered that day is one thing, but there’s something amiss about the Heavenly Dragon World Spiritist we rescued as well. She... doesn’t seem afraid at all, as if everything was still under control. There’s no reason for us, the Huangfu Heavenly Clan, not to befriend Chu Feng!”

Confused, Huangfu Zhantian asked, “Then why were you brooding just now?”

“I was lamenting! I shouldn’t have let Chu Feng leave like that. I should have given him some benefits as a gesture of goodwill on our part. We have been the rulers in this isolated world for so long that we have become too awkward and prideful. This might just become the biggest obstacle in our path. Haa!” the clan chief said as he slapped his own thigh.

The other two could tell that their clan chief was regretting not taking a more proactive stance.

...

Meanwhile, Chu Feng’s group had departed from the formation realm and returned to the real world.

Jie Shanxian, Chu Feng, and Wang Qiang exchanged looks.

“In the end, I still owe you a favor,” Jie Shanxian remarked with a smile.

“You’re being too polite, elder. You don’t owe me anything. Truth be told, you would have been safe even if I didn’t bring the Huangfu Heavenly Clan over, right?” Chu Feng asked.

“That’s hard to say.” It was hard to decipher Jie Shanxian’s smile. Her expression suddenly became serious as she said, “I’ll investigate the matter concerning your mother. If Jie Tianran truly exploited his authority, I’ll seek justice on your behalf. Till then.”

Jie Tianran suddenly vanished after saying her piece.

“She’s leaving j-j-just like that?” Wang Qiang looked around as if searching for Jie Shanxian.

Chu Feng was not surprised by her abrupt departure.

After confirming Jie Shanxian was gone, Wang Qiang turned to Chu Feng and asked, “Brother, where are y-y-you going next?”

“I’ll visit Zi Ling before making a trip to the Totem Galaxy. What about you?”

“I have already left the Divine Body Heavenly Mansion in name. I’ll go with you.”

“Sure,” Chu Feng accepted his offer with a smile. It would be less lonely to have Wang Qiang as a companion.

The two of them quickly made their way to the Martial Cultivator Commerce Guild’s guild leader’s hidden base.

Unfortunately, Zi Ling was still in her closed-door cultivation. Chu Feng could sense that she was in good condition, so he knew there was nothing to be worried about.

In the first place, closed-door cultivation could easily take years, decades, or even centuries. Chu Feng and Wang Qiang were the weird ones for thinking that Zi Ling was taking a long time in her closed-door cultivation.

Knowing that he couldn’t help Zi Ling here, Chu Feng decided to greet the guild leader before making his way to the Totem Galaxy with Wang Qiang.

“Chu Feng!”

Just as Chu Feng was about to make his way to the guild leader, the guild leader suddenly appeared before him. She was holding onto a stone—it was a Skygazing Divine Stone, which allowed one to peer into the distant galaxy.

“God’s Era,” the guild leader said as she handed the Skygazing Divine Stone to Chu Feng.

Chu Feng took the stone to look at God’s Era. The humongous incense stick there had burned out, and the massive mirror face had vanished. A new gate appeared in the heart of God’s Era’s avatar.

The gate was so massive that it encompassed several realms. It was tightly shut.

Wang Qiang also used the Skygazing Divine Stone to observe the changes in God’s Era.

“I-i-is it over? But it doesn’t look l-l-like anyone has obtained God’s Era’s power yet. Otherwise, God’s Era s-s-should have disappeared instead of conjuring a new gate. What do you t-t-think, brother?” Wang Qiang asked.

“I don’t think anyone has obtained God’s Era’s true power yet, but they must have received some benefits, perhaps an advantage in subsequent God’s Era’s opening. Otherwise, there wouldn’t have been such a huge commotion,” Chu Feng said.

“It’s good a-a-as long as its true power is still there. Otherwise, your foolish g-g-grandfather will stir unrest in the world of cultivation,” Wang Qiang said.

“It’s not like things are calm in his absence. It’s not necessarily a bad thing for us if he joins the war between the present-era cultivators and the Ancient Era’s powers,” Chu Feng said.

“That’s t-t-true. Let them fight it out. It’ll be best if they destroy each other,” Wang Qiang smiled.

Chu Feng and Wang Qiang bade farewell to the guild leader before making their way to the Totem Galaxy to meet Little Fishy and the others.

At the Totem Dragon Clan, Chu Feng met the Totem Dragon Clan’s Clan Chief, the Immortal Sea Fish Clan’s Clan Chief, Little Fishy, Xianhai Shaoyu, Long Chengyu, and the others. However, he also learned a shocking piece of news on top of that.
