Chapter 6326: True Man

Chu Feng knew that making a move would reveal his identity, but he didn’t hesitate to leap out of the warship and flit over.

“I dare you to kill me. If I survive this ordeal, I swear that I’ll destroy your monastery,” Qin Xuan spat through gritted teeth.

“Kill you? How can I let you off that easily? I shall make you my dog, but I don’t like to hear you bark. Let me start by severing your tongue.”

The Bluehue Monastery’s sectmaster whipped out a sword and plunged it toward Qin Xuan’s mouth.

Pu!

Blood splattered. The crowd was stunned, including Qin Xuan and the Bluehue Monastery’s sectmaster.

“Move your foot away from my friend’s head, or I’ll make a move,” Chu Feng’s voice echoed.

He was standing right behind the Bluehue Monastery’s sectmaster.

“C-Chu Feng?!”

The crowd was stunned. It would be hard to find anyone in the world of cultivation who didn’t know Chu Feng.

The sectmaster was horrified. He wouldn’t dare offend someone who had the guts to mess with the Seven Realms Sacred Mansion.

But before he could utter a word, Chu Feng harrumphed. “Looks like I need to make a move.”

Shoosh!

Chu Feng flicked his arm, and the sectmaster’s legs were severed.

At the same time, three figures flitted forth and took their positions behind Chu Feng—Little Fishy, Wang Qiang, and Xianhai Shaoyu.

“Xianhai Yu’er? Xianhai Shaoyu?”

“I thought the Immortal Sea Fish Clan had been destroyed? How are they still around?”

The crowd was shocked to see Xianhai Shaoyu and Xianhai Yu’er.

“Who says our Immortal Sea Fish Clan has been destroyed?”

Three figures silently appeared behind Chu Feng and the others. It was Little Fishy’s parents and grandfather.

“Paying respect to the Immortal Sea Fish Clan’s Clan Chief!”

The spectators hurriedly lowered their heads and greeted the trio. These three were famed powerhouses of the world of cultivation. In particular, the Immortal Sea Fish Clan’s Clan Chief was reputed to be a figure second only to Jie Tianran.

Chu Feng supported Qin Xuan to his feet and fed him a pill.

“Brother Chu, I owe you another one,” Qin Xuan said with a head hanging in shame.

“Don’t speak nonsense. What’s with these people? Is there a grudge between you and them?” Chu Feng asked.

“A few years back, I saw Bluehue Monastery’s disciples and elders bullying the weak, so I stepped in and killed them. Later, their sectmaster confronted me, only to kneel and apologize when he realized it was me. He even punished the disciples who reported me.

“I thought that the sectmaster was a good person because of that, but he attacked me right away when we met earlier. He said that he was the one who ordered the attack back then, and that I was foolish for trusting him. I am indeed... foolish,” Qin Xuan said bitterly.

“I see. All right.”

With a wave of his sleeves, Chu Feng beheaded everyone from the Bluehue Monastery. They didn’t even get an opportunity to beg for mercy.

This horrified the spectators.

To make things worse, Chu Feng turned his gaze toward the spectators and declared, “Remember this, Qin Xuan is my friend. I won’t stop anyone from messing with him; just be prepared to face the consequences if I learn about it.”

“We wouldn’t dare!”

Even the boldest spectator anxiously expressed their stance. The timid even knelt out of fright and lowered their heads, fearing that Chu Feng would behead them too in a fit of anger.

However, Chu Feng and the others vanished before they knew it. They had returned to their warship.

“Ey, I went overboard,” Chu Feng sighed.

“W-w-what’s wrong?” Wang Qiang and the others were confused.

“I wanted to avenge Brother Qin, but I don’t know if it’s a good thing to tie his name to mine,” Chu Feng said.

“Chu Feng, are you worried about the Seven Realms Sacred Mansion? I’m not scared of that. Were it not for your intervention, I would have died today. You are my friends. Since the Seven Realms Sacred Mansion is your enemy, that makes them my enemy too,” Qin Xuan said.

He suddenly turned to the Immortal Sea Fish Clan’s Clan Chief and said, “Lord Clan Chief, I heard the Immortal Sea Fish Clan faced a mishap. Was that... staged?”

“Mm.” The Immortal Sea Fish Clan’s Clan Chief nodded.

“Brother Qin, the Totem Dragon Clan is not responsible for what happened to the Immortal Dome Heavenly Sect,” Chu Feng said.

“I know. I couldn’t find any traces of the Totem Dragon Clan behind the incident,” Qin Xuan said.

“Qin Xuan, it’s because I s-s-see you as a friend that I’m saying this even though you might not like it. The Heavenly Dome Immortal Sect has never treated you as o-o-one of them, and your sectmaster is trash through and through.

“Other powers devoted their resources to nurturing their juniors when there was a revelation that a junior would claim God’s Era’s power. The Heavenly Dome Immortal Sect should have bestowed upon you their best resources, but the Heavenly Dome Immortal Sect’s sectmaster...” Wang Qiang said.

Qin Xuan suddenly interjected, “I know. I’m not a fool. I know better than anyone how the sectmaster treats me. But even if the Heavenly Dome Immortal Sect doesn’t cherish me, it is still the place where I was born and raised. I might have died elsewhere if not for the Heavenly Dome Immortal Sect.

“There are kind people in the Heavenly Dome Immortal Sect who don’t deserve to die. I can’t let this matter rest. I won’t forgive the person behind the incident,” Qin Xuan declared.

“Qin Xuan, I have been through something similar, but I’m more fortunate since my clansmen are still safe and sound. I might not be able to help you with much, but these should be of use to you.” Xianhai Shaoyu handed some stone fragments to Qin Xuan.

“I have some too.” Little Fishy also handed hers over.

“H-h-here’s mine.” Wang Qiang took out some too.

“This won’t do. It’s not easy to obtain these resources.” Qin Xuan shook his head.

He was rejecting out of politeness, but it was clear that he did want the resources. His prodigy peers, with the support from their respective sects and clans, had advanced to True God level, but he was still stuck at Half-God level.

His desire to become strong was greater than ever.

“Take it if you think of us as your friends,” Chu Feng advised.

Xianhai Shaoyu and the others were prudent in the amount of resources they offered Qin Xuan—they made sure that they still had enough resources to activate the hardest peak. They were aiding Qin Xuan while ensuring that they wouldn’t be negatively impacted.

“You don’t need to b-b-be polite with us.”

“Just take it.”

Wang Qiang and the others stuffed the resources into Qin Xuan’s hands.

Qin Xuan fell silent.

The next moment, everyone stiffened up.

Qin Xuan had started sobbing. Tears flowed down his cheeks and fell on the floor.

Chu Feng and the others couldn’t help but feel sorry for Qin Xuan. They still remembered how domineering he had been the first time they met. Back then, he was the most talented prodigy of the Heavenly Dome Galaxy.

Yet, before they knew it, the Heavenly Dome Immortal Sect had been destroyed, and Qin Xuan lost his home and backing.

Even minor sects that were previously terrified of him dared to climb over his head now. Such a drastic change in circumstances would have been tough for anyone to swallow.

Chu Feng’s appearance was a ray of hope to him. It made him realize that there were people who were unconditionally good to him regardless of his circumstances. He was not crying out of sorrow; he was moved.

“Sorry, I couldn’t hold it in.” Qin Xuan raised his tear-stained face and apologized.

Chu Feng grabbed his shoulder and said, “Don’t worry, brother. Crying is not embarrassing. There is no rule that a man can’t cry. But once you are done, you have to wipe away your tears and do what you must. A true man will stand firm in the face of adversity.”

“Mm.” Qin Xuan nodded.
