Chu Feng was about to speak when a power emerged from his body and bound him.

It was Eggy!

“Eggy, you…”

Chu Feng didn’t expect Eggy to suddenly restrain him.

“Chu Feng, you aren’t a match for him now. Now is not the time to exact vengeance. Your survival comes first. Stop provoking him,” Eggy said.

Chu Feng couldn’t move, speak, or transmit his voice under Eggy’s restraint.

The golden-haired man took Chu Feng’s silence as cowardice and burst into laughter.

“Scram, coward.”

Leaving those words behind, the golden-haired man and his companions vanished, not leaving a sliver of their aura behind.

Long Moxiao and Long Mochuan hurriedly brought Chu Feng and Long Mucheng out, not daring to linger for a second longer out of fear of a mishap.

Eggy finally released her restraint on Chu Feng and apologized, “My apologies for restraining you, Chu Feng.”

“What are you saying? I know you’re doing it for my good.” Chu Feng smiled.

The crowd was so nervous that no one noticed Chu Feng’s earlier anomaly.

Chu Feng turned to pale-faced Huahua and comforted her, “Don’t worry, we’re safe now.”

“Could he be toying with us? What if he doesn’t truly intend to let us go?” Huahua turned to Chu Feng with frightened eyes.

Her worry was not unfounded.

Someone as powerful as the golden-haired man could capture them on a whim if he changed his mind as long as they were still in the Golden River Upper Realm. That was also why Long Mochuan was charging full speed ahead, while Long Moxiao conducted emergency treatment for Long Mucheng.

They had to leave this realm as soon as possible.

Fortunately, everything went smoothly.

Chu Feng and the others soon escaped the Golden River Upper Realm via a teleportation formation.

Long Mucheng’s injuries were severe, though her injuries didn’t shake her foundation. She quickly regained consciousness under Long Moxiao and Chu Feng’s treatment.

“I have to admit that the powerhouse has sharp eyes. He must have known those monsters were residing there.” Long Mucheng laughed.

Her attitude was surprisingly positive. She had only regained her consciousness, and she couldn’t even muster the strength to move her body, but she was relieved to have escaped with her cultivation intact.

“Elder, is the powerhouse an elder from the Dragon Breath Clan?” Chu Feng asked out of curiosity.

That person noticed the powerful Ancient Era’s race dwelling here when they were hiding, before the mines appeared and the assimilation formations were constructed. That was no easy feat.

“That’s a secret. You just have to know he’s very powerful,” Long Mucheng smiled. However, she quickly cried out, “It’s too painful! I can’t take it. Give me some pills to numb the pain!”

“Mucheng, we are using young friend Chu Feng’s formation now. He says you’ll recover faster if you don’t use any pain-numbing pills or formations,” Long Moxiao replied.

“Are you sure?” Long Mucheng eyed Chu Feng in skepticism.

“Yes, elder. While your injuries might not be fatal, they are still severe and will require a long time to recover under normal conditions. My formation can reduce your recovery time, so bear with it a little,” Chu Feng replied.

“Haaa, fine.” Long Mucheng closed her eyes in resignation.

Her light-hearted attitude greatly alleviated the tense atmosphere, especially since she was the one who had suffered the most in the earlier ordeal.

She shared the details of the earlier battle with Chu Feng and the others.

The golden-haired man was at rank one Heavenly God level, but he defeated Long Mucheng without resorting to martial skills. This showed just how ludicrously powerful he was.

Even so, Chu Feng secretly decided to return to the Golden River Upper Realm if he couldn’t find Little Fishy and the others. He wanted to uncover what happened to the Immortal Sea Fish Clan.

Though it wasn’t the time to be making a reckless move yet. He was still much too weak.

…

Deep inside the Golden River Upper Realm’s underground world was a majestic realm enveloped in light. The plants and even the dust on the ground were faintly glowing.

Mysterious beasts roamed freely in this realm, but be it the gigantic birds covering the sky or flood dragons who controlled the clouds, they appeared to lack intelligence. None spoke, and they would occasionally let out deep growls. They were like domesticated pets.

The golden-haired man who defeated Long Mucheng was riding on the red-cloaked man, wandering around the realm alone. He hummed a melody with a smile, seemingly in a good mood.

Suddenly, another golden-haired man with a similar stature and facial features flew over.

The two of them looked to be brothers.

This golden-haired man was not wearing the Immortal Sea Fish Clan’s armor, which better showcased how much more opulent his golden robe was compared to the ones worn by the silver-haired individuals.

There was a glowing character at the back of his robe—Bai.

Those with keener eyes would have noticed that the character was not embroidered on the robe. Instead, it was glowing from within the robe.

“Big brother, bad news!”

“What happened?”

“Xianhai Yu’er escaped.”

“You can’t find her?”

“Big brother, don’t you get it? She fled

outside

. However, she left a letter.”

The man with the ‘Bai’ character on his golden robe passed an opened letter over.

The golden-haired man quickly read through the letter before chuckling. “Not bad, she’s smarter than I thought. She was able to escape.”

“Big brother, why aren’t you anxious?”

“What’s there to be anxious about? She has already said she’s only going out for a moment and will be right back.”

“What if she doesn’t come back?”

“Her family members are here. Where can she go?”

“Big brother, should I capture her?”

With a flick of his wrist, the man with the ‘Bai’ character took out a pill harnessing tremendous spirit power.

“You just want to go out and play.”

“Of course not! I’m sincerely worried that Xianhai Yu’er won’t return!”

“You can go out and play if you want to, but don’t interfere in Yu’er’s affair, you hear me?”

“Really? Big brother, you’re permitting me to go out?”

The man with the ‘Bai’ character was overjoyed.

“Go ahead. The restraint on our clan will dissipate soon. You can show those ants a glimpse of god’s power first,” the golden-haired man replied.
