Linghu Yuhua felt very surprised. After all, the matter of the Linghu Heavenly Clan seeking out Chu Xuanyuan was a secret. Very few people in the entire Linghu Heavenly Clan knew about that matter.
Thus, she asked, "Hongfei, who told you those things? Could it be Lord Clan Chief?"
As Linghu Hongfei's guardian, Linghu Yuhua had been protecting him from the shadows the entire time. Thus, she knew all about the people and things that he had encountered.
However, when Linghu Hongfei came in contact with a specific individual, even she would have to withdraw.
As for that person, it was their Linghu Heavenly Clan's Clan Chief.
Actually, their Linghu Heavenly Clan's Clan Chief had also arrived at the selection for the Ancestral Martial Decastars.
Furthermore, he had personally seen Linghu Hongfei before the selection began.
Thus, she suspected that it was most likely their Lord Clan Chief that had told Linghu Hongfei those things.
"It was indeed Lord Clan Chief who told me," Linghu Hongfei nodded. Then, he added, "That said, I believe that it must actually be because of you senior, that Lord Clan Chief specifically mentioned this matter to me."
"Senior, you must've mentioned the grudges between Chu Feng and I to Lord Clan Chief. Likely, Lord Clan Chief mentioned this matter to me because he didn't want me to kill Chu Feng," Linghu Hongfei said.
Linghu Yuhua did not give an answer. However, she had silently acknowledged his guess. Indeed, she was the one who had told their Lord Clan Chief about the conflict that occurred between Chu Feng and Linghu Hongfei.
That was part of her obligation. Not only was she tasked with protecting Linghu Hongfei, but she would also have to report everything he experienced to their Lord Clan Chief.
"Thus, senior, as long as that Chu Xuanyuan remains alive, I truly cannot kill that Chu Feng, isn't that right?" Linghu Hongfei asked.
"Hongfei, since Lord Clan Chief has already mentioned it to you, you should understand that in the Ancestral Martial Starfield, apart from the Starfield Master Realm, only Chu Xuanyuan poses a threat to our Linghu Heavenly Clan."
"Based on his personality, the chance that he will ally with us against the Starfield Master Realm is extremely slim. However, we also cannot touch his reverse scale."
"Otherwise, not to mention starting a war against the Starfield Master Realm, a single Chu Xuanyuan would serve as an enormous headache for our clan," said Linghu Yuhua.
"I understand," Linghu Hongfei nodded. Then, he said, "Senior, I want to enter the Lightning-fire Bloodline Formation."
"Hongfei, you must not let yourself be affected by your emotions. With your talent, even if you do not enter the Lightning-fire Bloodline Formation, you'll still be able to make steady progress in your cultivation. There's no need for you to take such a risk," said Linghu Yuhua.
"If I don't take such a risk, how am I supposed to handle that Chu Feng once he summons an even more powerful world spirit?" asked Linghu Hongfei.
Linghu Yuhua was left stunned. She did not know how to respond.
Although Chu Feng was not as powerful as Chu Xuanyuan from back then, his performance had caused her to have a whole new level of respect for him.
Even if Chu Feng could not compare to his father from back then, he was sufficiently dazzling amongst the Ancestral Martial Starfield's current younger generations.
What Linghu Hongfei was worried about was not something that couldn't happen.
After all, demon-level geniuses were unreasonable people capable of accomplishing the impossible.
"Senior, you should know that what I, Linghu Hongfei, want to become is not one of the strongest, but rather the strongest."
"Besides, Exalted Heavenly Fate had already prophesied that Chu Feng and I are destined to battle one another. While I can spare his life, I cannot allow myself to lose to him."
"This is my fate. I can either live like a dog or take on the challenge from him," Linghu Hongfei said.
Linghu Yuhua felt very pained. She had accompanied Linghu Hongfei since his childhood. Very few people knew him as well as her.
She knew that he was a very obsessive and competitive person.
It was due to his obsession to become the strongest and his competitiveness in not being defeated by anyone that he would try to win by fair means or foul. It was due to his obsession and competitiveness that he became a hypocrite. Yet, at the same time, it caused him to work extremely hard, frantically hard even.
While Linghu Hongfei's demon-level talent was definitely indispensable in his being able to gain his current level of cultivation and techniques, the hard work that he had put forth was also not something that ordinary people could match up to.
At the very least, of all the Linghu Heavenly Clan's younger generations, not a single person worked as hard as Linghu Hongfei.
"Since you've made your decision, you should discuss it with Lord Clan Chief," Linghu Yuhua knew very well that she could not change his mind.
If anyone could change his mind, it was only one person -- their Linghu Heavenly Clan's Lord Clan Chief.
"Lord Clan Chief has already agreed to it," said Linghu Hongfei.
Linghu Yuhua immediately revealed a look of surprise upon hearing those words.
However, she soon felt relief. After a short moment of being shocked, she had come to a realization, and was able to make a guess as to what was happening.
"Senior, you should know better than me that our clan actually already possesses the strength to wage war against the Starfield Master Realm. Originally, we were planning to wage war against the Starfield Master Realm in the Nine Dragons Upper Realm. The reason for our delay was because Lord Clan Chief was waiting for me," said Linghu Hongfei.
"Sure enough," Linghu Yuhua had guessed correctly.
Sure enough, the reason why their Linghu Heavenly Clan's Clan Chief had postponed the war that they were already prepared for was to wait for Linghu Hongfei.
Why were they waiting for Linghu Hongfei? It was because he was their Linghu Heavenly Clan's future. He was the person held with the greatest importance in their Linghu Heavenly Clan.
But, why would they decide to wait for him at such an important time?
It was because he was about to enter the Lightning-fire Bloodline Formation.
The Lightning-fire Bloodline Formation was an ancient and powerful formation originating from the Ancient Era.
No one knew who had created the Lightning-fire Bloodline Formation. In fact, at a glance, it looked more like a place formed by nature. There was no trace of it being modified by anyone.
Yet, it was of enormous assistance to people that possessed Heavenly Bloodlines.
Although the Linghu Heavenly Clan were very strong to begin with, their clan would likely only be one of the Ten Great Heavenly Clans and not the strongest among them had it not been for their ancestor finding and seizing the Lightning-fire Bloodline Formation for their clansmen to use to train with.
From this, one could imagine how powerful the Lightning-fire Bloodline Formation was.
That said, the Linghu Heavenly Clansmen would generally only train right outside the Lightning-fire Bloodline Formation. The reason for that was not merely because the Lightning-fire Bloodline Formation's interior was sealed, making it impossible for them to enter it to train, but most importantly, it was because the Lightning-fire Bloodline Formation would only open once every millennium.
When the power outside the Lightning-fire Bloodline Formation was already sufficient to allow the Linghu Heavenly Clansmen to become so strong, one could well imagine how strong the power inside of it was.
Unfortunately, the power inside the Lightning-fire Bloodline Formation was extremely berserk in nature. Ordinary people were simply incapable of enduring the power inside.
Over the ten thousand years since the Linghu Heavenly Clan had discovered and occupied it, countless of their clansmen had entered it. However, only a single person was able to leave it alive.
As for that person, it was their current Lord Clan Chief.
It was precisely because he had been tempered inside the Lightning-fire Bloodline Formation that the Linghu Heavenly Clan's Clan Chief was deemed to be the only man in the current Ancestral Martial Starfield truly capable of contending against the Starfield Master Realm.
In terms of talent, although the Linghu Heavenly Clan's Clan Chief was also a genius, he was not the most talented amongst his peers. Compared to Linghu Hongfei's talent, the disparity between them would be enormous.
Should he have been allowed to progress normally, the Linghu Heavenly Clan's Clan Chief might become one of their clan's experts. However, it would definitely be impossible for him to become the strongest amongst the Linghu Heavenly Clansmen.
The reason why he was able to gain his current success was all due to the Lightning-fire Bloodline Formation.
This was the reason why the Lightning-fire Bloodline Formation was so powerful. It was capable of truly transforming a person.
If Linghu Hongfei was able to exit the formation alive, the accomplishments he would be able to attain in the future would be beyond measure.
Furthermore, it just so happened that the Lightning-fire Bloodline Formation would have its once-in-a-millennium opening, the exceptional opportunity, in the upcoming days!!!
On the Tantai Heavenly Clan's warship. Chu Feng had managed to get some time alone, with the excuse that he needed to treat his injuries.
That said, at that very moment, the voice that was heard from outside made Chu Feng realize that it would be very difficult for him to continue to enjoy his time in peace.
"Young friend Chu Feng is still treating his injuries and resting. If Lord Clan Chief needs to see him, it would not be too late to discuss matters with young friend Chu Feng after his injuries are healed."
That voice was from Wuming Xingyun.
Wuming Xingyun had also received the Tantai Heavenly Clan's invitation. That was the reason why he was on the warship. However, he was originally going to be on the same warship as the Tantai Heavenly Clan's Clan Chief and the other grand characters.
Yet, he insisted on staying on Chu Feng's warship. The reason for that was simply because Chu Feng was there.
Wuming Xingyun was doing that to protect him. Thus, he stayed outside of his room while Chu Feng was treating his injuries.
Had it been others that had come to seek him out, Chu Feng could ignore them. However, he could not do so at that moment. The reason for that was because the person who had come to find him was the Tantai Heavenly Clan's Clan Chief, Tantai Xiangnan.
Facing a grand individual like Tantai Xiangnan, if he were to act forcibly, not even Wuming Xingyun would be able to protect Chu Feng.
Furthermore, Chu Feng was a person of the younger generation. As such, he should not put on airs before a grand character like Tantai Xiangnan.
Thus, Chu Feng walked out of his room.
"Junior Chu Feng pays his respects to Lord Clan Chief."
"Chu Feng, why did you come out?" Wuming Xingyun was surprised to see him.
"Senior, my injuries have been healed," Chu Feng replied with a smile.
"That's great. Clan Chief Tantai just so happened to want to chat with you," As Wuming Xingyun spoke, he planned to enter Chu Feng's room.
However, right at that moment, the Tantai Heavenly Clan's Clan Chief smiled at Wuming Xingyun, "Milord, would it be possible for you to allow young friend Chu Feng and I some personal time to chat?"
"Why?" Wuming Xingyun revealed a look of caution.
"I wish to talk to young friend Chu Feng about some things that concern our clan," said the Tantai Heavenly Clan's Clan Chief.
"Senior, please," Chu Feng raised his hand to show the way for the Tantai Heavenly Clan's Clan Chief. As he spoke, he cast a meaningful glance at Wuming Xingyun.
Chu Feng was informing Wuming Xingyun that things were alright, and that he could deal with it.
Seeing that, Wuming Xingyun no longer said anything, and allowed the Tantai Heavenly Clan's Clan Chief and Chu Feng to be in the room together. That said, he continued to stand guard outside the door.
As for what the Tantai Heavenly Clan's Clan Chief wanted to discuss with Chu Feng, it was naturally the matter regarding the Nine Dragons Abnormal Sign Mound.
Chu Feng and Wuma Shengjie had entered the Nine Dragons Abnormal Sign Mound's hidden path of certain death. Yet, not only did the two of them manage to exit it alive, but they were also accompanied by an abnormal sign.
As such, how could the Tantai Heavenly Clan's Clan Chief not question them about what they'd experienced.
After all, the Nine Dragons Abnormal Sign Mound was rumored to be an entrance leading to the depths of the Nine Dragons Upper Realm.
That said, Chu Feng and Wuma Shengjie had both anticipated the coming of such a day. Thus, they had discussed what they were going to say before they exited the hidden path of certain death.
The two of them had decided to lie, and not say what had truly happened in the depths of the Nine Dragons Abnormal Sign Mound.
They merely mentioned that there were frightening creatures inside the Nine Dragons Abnormal Sign Mound. However, they were uncertain as to what those creatures were. They merely knew that they were very powerful. When they were escaping from those creatures, they inadvertently entered a tunnel. To their surprise, the tunnel possessed a very powerful attractive force, and sucked the two of them into a completely different space. Then, through the tunnel, they returned to the Nine Dragons Abnormal Sign Mound.
After hearing what Chu Feng said, the Tantai Heavenly Clan's Clan Chief did not say much.
The reason for that was because he had already sought out Wuma Shengjie before going to see Chu Feng. What Chu Feng had told him was exactly the same as what Wuma Shengjie had told him.
Furthermore, both Chu Feng and Wuma Shengjie were very calm and composed when they spoke of the matter. Their behavior was very natural, and simply did not resemble that of people who were lying.
Even if the Tantai Heavenly Clan's Clan Chief suspected that they were lying, there was nothing he could do about it.
Thus, the Tantai Heavenly Clan's Clan Chief asked Chu Feng something else. "Young friend Chu Feng, how is your father doing?"
"Lord Father is imprisoned in our clan's forbidden area. I am unable to meet him either," Chu Feng said.
"I've heard that your Chu Heavenly Clan was able to enter the forbidden area at will," the Tantai Heavenly Clan's Clan Chief said.
"That is indeed the case. However, I am unqualified to use that teleportation formation," After saying those words, Chu Feng asked, "Senior, why are you suddenly asking me about this? Could it be that you're acquainted with my father?"
"Chu Xuanyuan is someone known by everyone in the Ancestral Martial Starfield. I was fortunate to possess a slight friendship with your father."
"Thus, I am rather concerned about his situation. I've heard that the place that your father is imprisoned in is currently being sealed off by a very powerful barrier. Because of that barrier, no one is able to enter that place."
"Because of that, I was worried about whether some sort of unforeseen event might've occurred," the Tantai Heavenly Clan's Clan Chief said.
"Ah? There's such a thing?"
"Senior, where did you hear about that? Is the information reliable?"
Chu Feng reacted with great astonishment. It was as if it was the first time he had learned of the matter.
"The news is definitely reliable. Young friend Chu Feng, I think that some sort of unforeseen event must've happened. After you return to your clan, you should go and ask your clansmen. Perhaps you will get an answer from them," the Tantai Heavenly Clan's Clan Chief said.
"I hope that my Lord Father has not met with any mishaps," Chu Feng was shaking. His performance of panic and worry was done brilliantly. It simply did not appear to be a pretense at all.
"Senior, I am truly thankful for your magnificent hospitality in inviting me. However, this Chu Feng cannot disregard my father's safety. Thus, I am afraid that I cannot stay for long," he added.
"Young friend Chu Feng, I am able to understand your frame of mind. Actually, I've already heard about your business from Xing'er. You must be concerned about your friend's disappearance, right?"
"Rest assured, I will personally investigate this matter. I will definitely give you a satisfactory answer," the Tantai Heavenly Clan's Clan Chief said as he patted Chu Feng's shoulder.
Then, he had a brief chat with Chu Feng before leaving.
After he left, the Tantai Heavenly Clan's Clan Chief returned to another warship of the Tantai Heavenly Clan.
There was a palace present on the warship. Inside the palace were gathered all of the Tantai Heavenly Clan's upper echelons.
They were all waiting for their Clan Chief's return.
After the Tantai Heavenly Clan's Clan Chief returned, he informed everyone about everything that he had learned from Chu Feng and Wuma Shengjie.
Those were the things that the people present wanted to know about too.
"Lord Clan Chief, that Chu Feng and Wuma Shengjie must be lying."
"We all know how dangerous the Nine Dragons Abnormal Sign Mound is. For them to be able to return alive, they must've experienced some sort of extraordinary experience. However, they deemphasized their experience in such a manner. It is obvious that they are lying to us."
"Lord Clan Chief, since they are refusing a toast, our Tantai Heavenly Clan must teach them a lesson," said an elder.
"Chu Feng absolutely cannot be touched," said the Tantai Heavenly Clan's Clan Chief.
