Zi Ling’s closed-door training was longer than before, but she seemed to be faring well.

Chu Feng figured she might have stumbled upon a hurdle, but she should be able to make a breakthrough soon.

So, he approached the Martial Cultivator Commerce Guild’s leader and informed her that he and Little Fishy were planning to visit the Immemorial Massacre Sea.

The guild leader offered to tag along, fearing Chu Feng and Little Fishy would meet with danger, but she backed out upon learning that Long Mucheng had reached Heavenly God level and was waiting to travel there with him.

She didn’t want too many people to know about her ties with Chu Feng, even if these were people whom the latter trusted.

Long Chengyu and the others were overjoyed when they saw Little Fishy. They were worried about her when they learned about the Immortal Sea Fish Clan’s massacre.

Little Fishy trusted Long Chengyu and the others too because they were Chu Feng’s friends, so she didn’t hide the truth from them. Even so, she didn’t reveal that their Immortal Sea Fish Clan had allied with the God Clan.

Long Chengyu and the others weren’t too concerned about the truth. They were glad to know Little Fishy was safe and sound.

To make haste, they traveled via the Nine Heavens Secret Domain.

Even so, it took them some time to reach the Immemorial Massacre Sea as there were no teleportation formations in the Nine Heavens Secret Domain that led straight there.

The Immemorial Massacre Sea was a realm by itself. It looked pitch black from the outside, so it was difficult to spot it in space. It would be hard to find it without knowing its exact location.

Furthermore, the Immemorial Massacre Sea had a mysterious power that ensured all visitors would appear in the same place no matter which direction they approached the realm from. That was also where the stone monument was erected.

Chu Feng and the others concealed themselves before arriving at the Immemorial Massacre Sea’s entrance to avoid causing a commotion.

It was a good thing they did so as there were many people gathered in the vicinity. It was not packed to the brim, but most were fairly powerful.

Putting aside the few who had come here in advance to spectate, those who could get here so quickly were either experts with powerful means or were from powerful backgrounds.

Even late True God level cultivators could be spotted here and there.

However, these people were observing the Immemorial Massacre Sea from outside, not daring to venture in.

A black fog enveloped the Immemorial Massacre Sea. The only thing that could be seen amidst the fog was a towering stone monument.

There was an opening in the black fog, but a city stood in the way.

The city was humongous as if it was a place where giants lived. Even its gates resembled two mountains. Other than its intimidating scale, it had a domineering design too.

However, the city felt incongruous with the Immemorial Massacre City.

A huge flag flown in the city indicated its origin—the Ouyang Heavenly Clan.

“The Ouyang Heavenly Clan? Why have I never heard about them before? Are they from the Ancient Era?”

Long Chengyu turned to Long Mucheng, thinking the latter might have answers to those questions.

“It would take a formidable force to stop so many cultivators in their tracks. They must be from the Ancient Era,” Long Mucheng replied.

“Elder, please change my appearance. I’ll go scout the situation,” Long Chengyu asked Long Moxiao and Long Mochuan.

Long Moxiao released a wave of golden spirit power with a wave of his hand, changing not just Long Chengyu but everyone else’s appearance too.

“Let’s scout the situation together.”

Chu Feng and the others revealed themselves and made their way toward the city.

Clang!

Before they could get close to the city, a silver saber flew from the city walls and stabbed into the earth right in front of them.

Soon after, a figure leaped down from the city walls and landed next to the saber. It was a tall, brawny man. There was an intense quake when he pulled the saber out.

From his aura, Chu Feng and the others could tell he was at rank nine True God level!

Resting the saber on his shoulders, the brawny man looked at Chu Feng and the others in disdain as he said, “Prove your strength if you wish to enter.”

“How can we prove our strength?” Long Mucheng asked.

“You can ask if my saber acknowledges you or not,” the brawny man sneered as he pointed his saber at Long Mucheng.

Uwa!

Before the brawny man could do anything, he suddenly lurched backward with immense force, crashing right through the city walls. Through the hole left in his wake, Chu Feng and the others caught a glimpse of the city.

It was Long Mucheng’s doing.

The crowd was startled.

“Who’s that?”

“How can she be that powerful? Could she have… overcome the limits of True God?”

“That’s insane!”

The crowd could sense Long Mucheng’s might, but they couldn’t believe she had reached Heavenly God level, especially given how few of them there were.

The brawny man clutched his abdomen as he shouted, “Open the gates! Open the gates!”

Having personally experienced Long Mucheng’s strength, he dared not consider exacting vengeance against her. He knew he was only alive because Long Mucheng went easy on him.

Krrk!

With a deafening creak, the two mountain-like city gates slowly opened.

A huge crowd rushed out of the city, but they quickly diverged to the sides to welcome Chu Feng and the others in. The leader of the crowd even personally escorted them in.

There was a huge change in their attitude.

Chu Feng and the others entered the city and were quickly brought to a hall.

The hall was massive, but there weren’t many people within.

Several youths, with a mix of males and females, were gathered together. They looked to be juniors.

An old man stood at the other end of the hall. He looked at Chu Feng’s group and asked, “Is it inconvenient for you to show your true faces?”

Long Mochuan and Long Moxiao exchanged looks.

The other party saw through their disguise right away even though they were rank nine True Dragon World Spiritists. It hinted that the old man was either carrying a formidable treasure or possessed stronger spirit power than them.

“It is inconvenient,” Long Mucheng replied.

“You should return if it’s inconvenient.” The old man waved his hand.

“What if we refuse?” Long Mucheng released her Heavenly God level oppressive might, not wasting her time with words.

But her oppressive might was swiftly suppressed by another surge of oppressive might. It was from the old man.

The old man’s clothes, beard, and hair fluttered, but his expression and gaze didn’t waver. Not only was he a Heavenly God level cultivator, but he was an experienced one.

Long Mucheng’s confidence withered a little.

The Ouyang Heavenly Clan was stronger than she had imagined.

“I am Ouyang Mingzhang, the Ouyang Heavenly Clan’s Clan Protection Elder. Our clan has welcomed you with sincerity, so pardon our disrespect if you don’t think that we are worthy of seeing your true faces.”

The old man withdrew his oppressive might before clasping his fist at Long Mucheng.

Seeing how polite the old man was, Long Mucheng dissipated her disguise with a wave of her sleeves, revealing her true face.

Chu Feng and the others did the same too.

Some of the juniors immediately pointed at Chu Feng and exclaimed, “Chu Feng! He is Chu Feng!”

Even Ouyang Mingzhang was surprised too. He remarked with a smile, “I can see why you’re reluctant to show your faces now.”

Clearly, they had heard about Chu Feng.
