Chapter 6328: It’s You?

“You’re acquainted with young friend Chu Feng?” the Immortal Sea Fish Clan’s Clan Chief asked.

“We’re old friends now.” Eighth Zhao laughed.

“I’m glad to hear that. Young friend Chu Feng is in a critical phase of grasping the formation’s energy. I constructed this formation as a precaution, so pardon my offense.” The Immortal Sea Fish Clan’s Clan Chief clasped his fist apologetically.

He remained wary despite Eighth Zhao’s light-hearted and friendly attitude. He found that he couldn’t see through Eighth Zhao’s cultivation; he wouldn’t have noticed him in the first place if not for him enveloping the area with a treasure that could detect Heavenly God level cultivators.

“I came here for that. Young friend Chu Feng activated the wrong peak. That is the hardest one, which is nigh impossible to succeed in. However, I have a way to reverse it. I can still make it in time if you remove the formation now and let me in. Nothing can be done once he fails,” Eighth Zhao said.

“My apologies, Zhao Immortal Clan’s Clan Chief. I can’t do that,” the Immortal Sea Fish Clan’s Clan Chief said.

“This concerns young friend Chu Feng’s future. I’ll have to resort to forceful measures if you don’t step aside,” Eighth Zhao said as he released his oppressive might.

Little Fishy’s father and grandfather quickly formed a hand seal. Countless fishes gushed out from the formation and rushed at Eighth Zhao.

However, these fishes disintegrated upon coming into contact with the oppressive might, almost as if tofu crashing into a boulder.

The sky shook. Everyone inside the formation fell over; only the mountain peaks remained firmly in place.

By then, countless cracks had already appeared on the formation. Blood was seeping from the corner of the Immortal Sea Fish Clan’s Clan Chief’s and others’ lips.

All these destructions were caused by the oppressive might. The difference in power couldn’t have been clearer.

“A rank four Heavenly God!” the Immortal Sea Fish Clan’s Clan Chief exclaimed.

He had expected as much, but he was still crushed by despair when he felt the other party’s strength. That being said, he was already prepared for this situation.

Without hesitation, Little Fishy’s parents and grandfather formed a hand seal and released blood-red auras into the formation, causing the formation to turn bizarre. On the one hand, the formation emanated an eerie, bloody aura. On the other hand, it felt powerful and divine.

“Haa, I said I’m doing this for young friend Chu Feng’s sake. Why are you putting your lives on the line to stop me? I went easy because you are on close terms with him. I hope you don’t think you can stop me by risking your lives. Not only are you sacrificing your lives in vain, but you are also hindering young friend Chu Feng’s future. Step aside now!” Eighth Zhao said.

His smile had vanished, and there was a cold glint in his eyes. He made it plenty clear that he wasn’t joking. He would pay no heed to the safety if they continued standing in his way.

“My apologies, Zhao Immortal Clan’s Clan Chief. Young friend Chu Feng is grasping the formation’s energy and cannot sense what’s happening, so I can’t verify your relationship with him. I can’t let you stop his formation,” the Immortal Sea Fish Clan’s Clan Chief said.

“I understand, and I don’t blame you for it. You shouldn’t blame me for this too.”

Eighth Zhao narrowed his eyes. He was going to make a move.

Overwhelming killing intent shrouded the area. It seeped through the barrier, such that everyone could clearly feel it.

Boom!

Just then, the world suddenly shook.

A light pillar pierced through the barrier and shot into the sky. It was coming from Chu Feng’s mountain peak.

That peak was already glowing before, but the light pillar made it appear a hundred times more majestic than before. Nine-colored lightning and formidable spirit power could be seen within the light pillar—they were Chu Feng’s Heavenly Lightning Bloodline and Ruler’s Bloodline.

“What in the world? Did young friend Chu Feng succeed?” Eighth Zhao was at a loss for words.

Boom!

Thunder boomed from the sky. The nine-colored lightning and spirit power began spreading outward, enveloping the realm in the blink of an eye. The phenomenon could be spotted even from the place where Zhao Daobin and Zhao Tingxue were.

“What a formidable phenomenon. Did someone succeed in grasping the formation?” Zhao Cangjing asked his grandfather, Zhao Daobin.

“According to the records, those who succeed in grasping the formation will produce a phenomenon based on their bloodline, but the scale of this phenomenon... It can only be produced from the hardest peak,” Zhao Daobin said.

Zhao Cangjing and Zhao Tingxue couldn’t believe what they were hearing.

“What? Someone succeeded in grasping the hardest peak’s formation?” Zhao Cangjing exclaimed in disbelief.

“I can already guess from the phenomenon who it is,” Zhao Daobin added.

“Chu Feng?” Zhao Tingxue asked.

“The Heavenly Lightning Bloodline and that spirit power; in the present world of cultivation, it could only be Chu Feng,” Zhao Daobin replied.

“That fellow is that formidable?” Zhao Cangjing asked.

“He’s an extraordinary one.” Zhao Daobin wasn’t as surprised as his grandson.

Zhao Tingxue looked at the phenomenon as she murmured, “Chu Feng... Now I’m curious to see you in person.”

...

More and more people were gathering around Chu Feng. Those who had arrived late could only watch from outside the barrier.

Eighth Zhao looked at the sight with a smile. He suddenly thought of something and turned to the trio from the Immortal Sea Fish Clan. “You can stop depleting your life force now. Young friend Chu Feng has succeeded in grasping the formation. You’re just sacrificing yourself in vain at this rate.”

The Immortal Sea Fish Clan’s Clan Chief and the others realized from those words that Eighth Zhao had decided to stop his attack.

Is he truly doing this for Chu Feng’s sake? Is that why he is giving up after seeing Chu Feng’s success?

They stopped fusing their life force into the barrier but didn’t remove it. They were ready to reinforce it if Eighth Zhao did anything suspicious.

The phenomenon soon dissipated, and the overwhelming formation energy from the mountain peak flew into Chu Feng’s body.

Chu Feng finally opened his eyes. What he saw made his body tense up.

The Immortal Sea Fish Clan’s formidable barrier and the injuries sustained by the Immortal Sea Fish Clan’s Clan Chief and the others led him to think that a powerful enemy had attacked.

“Young friend Chu Feng.” Eighth Zhao waved at Chu Feng.

Chu Feng recognized the other party right away.

“Elder Zhao? What are you doing here? Are you from the Zhao Immortal Clan?”

Chu Feng was initially surprised, but he quickly noticed the other party was wearing the Zhao Immortal Clan’s robe. It was hard not to notice the robe when it radiated a brilliant golden light.

“Young friend Chu Feng, it has been a while. I forgot to introduce myself then. I am the Zhao Immortal Clan’s Clan Chief,” Eighth Zhao said with a smile.

“You are the clan chief? Doesn’t that make Zhao Tingxue your daughter?” Chu Feng’s astonishment deepened.

“Tingxue is my daughter. How do you know her?” Eighth Zhao asked.

“Ah, I just met her.” Chu Feng smiled.

“You met her? She told me that she didn’t see you.” Eighth Zhao was perplexed.

“I used a fake name,” Chu Feng explained.

Realization dawned upon Eighth Zhao. “Ah, you are that Wu Ming fellow?”
