Chapter 6277: The Silent Clan Chief Planning to Clear the Hurdles?

Most Huangfu Heavenly Clansmen claimed that the Immemorial Lightning Pillar shattered because its time was up, but it was to preserve their dignity. Be it the ones saying those words or the ones listening to them, they were feeling stifled inside.

“W-w-what do you mean run out of time? The pillar reached its limit! Looks like Saint King-tier isn’t the s-s-strongest tier since my brother surpasses that.” Wang Qiang’s words eroded the pride of the Huangfu Heavenly Clansmen.

Since Chu Feng had accepted the test to flaunt his bloodline, he didn’t mind driving in just how ridiculously strong Chu Feng’s bloodline was.

The Huangfu Heavenly Clansmen were put in an awkward position.

Wang Qiang’s words made sense. Chu Feng’s bloodline power had surged out of the pillar before it shattered into pieces. This was an irrefutable fact, but it was much too shocking.

Even someone who possessed the Saint King-tier bloodline could dominate in the Ancient Era. They couldn’t imagine the heights that someone who surpassed Saint King-tier could reach.

“We ran out of time, though we can’t eliminate other possibilities. Either way, Chu Feng’s bloodline has surpassed Saint Middle-tier, reaching Saint Upper-tier or perhaps the legendary Saint King-tier.”

The Huangfu Heavenly Clan’s Clan Chief looked at Chu Feng with approving eyes.

“Can’t eliminate other possibilities? My brother i-i-is at Saint King-tier at the minimum!” Wang Qiang exclaimed.

The clan chief didn’t bother replying. Wang Qiang’s lack of tact was grinding on his nerves. If Wang Qiang hadn’t been Chu Feng’s friend, he would have long killed Wang Qiang with a single palm strike.

“Elder, is Saint King-tier the strongest bloodline recorded in the Ancient Era?” Chu Feng asked.

He also wanted to understand just how powerful his bloodline was.

“That’s right,” the clan chief replied.

“Chu Feng, the Ancient Era’s records are not necessarily accurate. Before you, the strongest bloodline in the Nine Provinces Continent was Emperor-tier bloodline. They have never heard about the Heavenly Bloodline. In my opinion, your bloodline is definitely above Saint King-tier,” Eggy said.

She sat inside Chu Feng’s World Spirit Space with her hands on her snowy-white thighs. She had seen everything that had just happened, and she was more excited than anyone else. Her excitement was palpable from her face.

“My thoughts exactly, but what could be above Saint King-tier? Elder, do you know?”

Chu Feng was directing the latter question to not just the Divine Deer but the red lightning beast as well. He thought that they might know more than the Huangfu Heavenly Clan.

The red lightning beast kept his silence, but the Divine Deer answered, “He’s right. The strongest recorded Heavenly Bloodline in the Ancient Era’s record is Saint King-tier, but that doesn’t mean that it is the ceiling for Heavenly Bloodlines. There could have been stronger ones in the Immemorial Era.”

The Divine Deer’s answer coincided with Eggy’s conjecture.

Chu Feng exchanged pleasantries with the Huangfu Heavenly Clan before he took out a high-quality God Armament and passed it to Huangfu Shengyu.

“What’s this?” Huangfu Shengyu was confused.

“I lost your previous God Armament, so I’m compensating you with this one. Accept it, and we’ll let bygones be bygones,” Chu Feng said.

Huangfu Shengyu understood what Chu Feng was getting at, so he replied, “I’ve already let it go. You don’t have to compensate me anything. Don’t worry, I mean what I say. I won’t go after your friends in the Nine Heavens’ Zenith either. However, Chu Feng, you should remember that I’m only doing this on your account.”

“I understand.” Chu Feng smiled.

No man was infallible. Huangfu Shengyu had been revered as the Huangfu Heavenly Clan’s most talented prodigy for the longest time, so it was unsurprising that he grew up arrogant.

What was more important was his sincerity about turning over a new leaf and not seeking vengeance over what happened then. If he was not sincere about his words, Chu Feng would not spare him the next time.

Meanwhile, the Huangfu Heavenly Clansmen thoroughly combed the Seven Realms Immortal Sect, but there was not a single person to be found.

“The Seven Realms Immortal Sect is a cunning one. Not only did they escape, but they also took all their treasures with them. This means that their foundation is still intact. We will have to be wary of them in the future. Still, it’s worth it given what Shengyu received, and our Huangfu Heavenly Clan doesn’t fear them either.

“Rather, Chu Feng, you will have to tread carefully. The Seven Realms Immortal Sect is extremely vindictive. They might go after you like mad dogs. I wouldn’t exclude the possibility of them striking an alliance with the Seven Realms Sacred Mansion to deal with you,” the clan chief said.

“I’ll be careful. Thank you for your help.”

Chu Feng clasped his fist at the Huangfu Heavenly Clan, focusing on Huangfu Shengyu, the Huangfu Heavenly Clan’s Clan Chief, and Huangfu Zhantian. He didn’t talk much with Huangfu Zhantian, but he had a peculiar feeling that the latter was on his side even though he didn’t know why.

Regardless, he had a better impression of Huangfu Zhantian compared to the others.

With that, they parted ways.

The only ones left on the warship were the clan chief, Huangfu Shengyu, and Huangfu Zhantian.

The clan chief took the center seat, whereas Huangfu Shengyu and Huangfu Zhantian settled down beside him. The latter two kept sneaking glances at the clan chief, who looked livid. After Chu Feng had taken his leave, the clan chief dismissed everyone except for Huangfu Zhantian and Huangfu Shengyu. Since then, he had been silent.

His reaction was normal.

Huangfu Shengyu’s bloodline advancing to Saint Middle-tier should have been news worth celebrating, but Chu Feng’s trial result was like a fish bone stuck in their throats, leaving them uncomfortable.

They had thought that Huangfu Shengyu, with his bloodline power, had a chance to become the strongest person in the world. The Huangfu Heavenly Clan had high hopes for him.

Yet, someone stronger than him suddenly appeared out of nowhere, dashing their hopes for good. They were aiming to be number one, only to realize that the best they could do was to be number two. Anyone in their position was bound to feel uncomfortable.

Huangfu Zhantian felt uneasy.

The natural thing to do when faced with a hurdle was to remove it, especially if this hurdle stood in the way of their clan’s glory and future.

He was worried that the clan chief harbored such thoughts about Chu Feng.
