Chapter 6394: Xue Ji’s News

“Something is not right.”

Chu Feng and Shen Hui narrowed their eyes.

Jie Mubai’s corpse scattered as spirit power. A piece of talisman paper drifted out from his body and was burned into ashes.

Jie Mubai’s voice echoed from space, “You’ll regret this, Spirit God Clan. You’ll soon come to learn who you have offended. Chu Feng, you shouldn’t be too smug either. I’ll show you what I’m capable of in due time.”

Shen Hui formed a hand seal. The golden light enveloping the tombstone realm dispersed into countless golden dragons, and these golden dragons surged in the direction Jie Mubai’s voice originated from.

“Don’t bother giving chase. You won’t catch him,” Chu Feng said.

Shen Hui soon dispelled the formation as she realized Chu Feng was right.

The voice had come from a formation; Jie Mubai wasn’t there. Jie Mubai was infuriated at having been tricked by the Spirit God Clansmen, but the truth was that he had never trusted them, which was why he used a talisman paper clone instead.

And despite being rank two Heavenly Dragon World Spiritists, Shen Hui and the others failed to see through the talisman paper clone.

Shen Hui hung her head in shame as she bowed to Chu Feng once more. “Lord Chu Feng, please punish me for my incompetence.”

The Huangfu Heavenly Clan’s Clan Chief, Huangfu Zhantian, the Divine Body Heavenly Mansion’s Mansion Master, and the others flitted to Chu Feng’s side.

“Chu Feng, I don’t think they are feigning loyalty to you. Do you know the ‘Lord Xue Ji’ they mentioned?” Huangfu Zhantian asked.

They weren’t bothered about Jie Mubai’s escape, as this group of mysterious world spiritists was the bigger threat here. They needed to ascertain their motive first.

“Yes, I know her,” Chu Feng replied.

“Is she your friend?” Huangfu Zhantian asked.

“You can say so.” Chu Feng smiled.

His relationship with Xue Ji was complicated.

Both Xue Ji and Eggy were world spirits his mother had captured and placed in his World Spirit Space. Unlike Eggy, Xue Ji was much more rebellious. She left Chu Feng’s side as soon as her seal was removed.

At the Hundred Refinements Ordinary Realm, she was captured by Old Cat, but Old Cat didn’t make things difficult for her and instead became her friend.

Later, Xue Ji found a helper called the Demon Spirit King.

Initially, Chu Feng doubted Old Cat’s words and wanted to meet Xue Ji to get to the bottom of the matter. It was during then he bumped into one of the World Spiritist Emperor’s world spirits, Taowu, who gave Eggy the Godsoul.

Xue Ji could have competed with Eggy over the Godsoul, but she gave up.

Since then, Chu Feng had never met Xue Ji.

Even though Chu Feng knew Xue Ji had the ability to thrive no matter her environment, he didn’t expect her to be related to the Spirit God Clan. The Spirit God Clan was extremely powerful—they had 1111 rank two Heavenly Dragon World Spiritists, and they were capable of constructing a formation rivaling that of a rank three Heavenly Dragon World Spiritist.

Their special means reminded Chu Feng of the God Clan, who kidnapped the Immortal Sea Fish Clan.

At the same time, he was also reminded of another entity—the Spirit God. That was the woman in the Nine Heavens Secret Domain who bestowed him the Three Realms Divine Eyes.

The Spirit God looked humanlike—she didn’t have any deer traits—but there were some similarities between her Three Realms Divine Eyes and the Spirit God Clansmen’s eyes.

The Three Realms Divine Eyes contained three colors—purple, blue, and golden. The golden shade was similar to the Spirit God Clansmen’s golden eyes, to the point where Chu Feng wondered if they were from the same lineage.

“Elder, you seem to have heard about the Spirit God Clan,” Chu Feng asked Huangfu Zhantian.

“I have heard about them. The Spirit God Clan is powerful but enigmatic. They have few clansmen and are very elusive, to the point where they were considered a myth in the Ancient Era. They specialize in world spiritist techniques, possessing formidable spirit power and highly discerning eyes. These women carry the traits of the Ancient Era’s Spirit God Clan.

“I did hear a group of people was looking for you, though I didn’t think much into it when I first heard about their traits. Judging from their appearance and their proficiency as world spiritists, there is a good chance they are truly the legendary Spirit God Clansmen,” Huangfu Zhantian replied.

Meanwhile, the Spirit God Clansmen remained perfectly still in their kneeling positions. It was shocking to see experts of their caliber putting themselves so low, to the point where Chu Feng felt a little embarrassed.

After hearing Huangfu Zhantian’s analysis, Chu Feng quickly turned to them and said, “Hurry up and get up. There’s no need for such formalities.”

“Thank you, Lord Chu Feng.”

Only then did the Spirit God Clansmen stand up.

“It’s not that I don’t trust you, but there are too many people in the world of cultivation who wishes harm upon me. I have to be vigilant,” Chu Feng explained

“Lord Chu Feng, it hasn’t been long since we emerged from closed-door training, but we have heard about your affairs and understand the plight you are in. Please feel free to ask anything to verify our identities,” Shen Hui said.

“You said Xue Ji sent you to me. Do you know how Xue Ji looks?” Chu Feng asked.

A sliver of spirit power flew forth from Shen Hui’s palm to form the image of a beautiful woman. It was indeed Xue Ji.

“You addressed Xue Ji as your lord earlier. May I know how you met Xue Ji, and what kind of relationship you have with her that compels you to follow her order to help a stranger like me?”

Shen Hui sent a voice transmission to Chu Feng explaining their relationship with Xue Ji.

To summarize, the seal that isolated the Spirit God Clan from the rest of the world was far stronger than those isolating other powers. That prevented them from keeping tabs on what was happening outside despite their high proficiency in world spiritist techniques.

Xue Ji somehow entered their domain, and many things happened afterward. In gist, the Spirit God Clan owed their lives to her. Before she left, Xue Ji told them to look for him if they wanted to repay the favor.

So, they left the domain they had been sealed in and traveled around the world in search of Chu Feng.

“Lord Chu Feng.” Shen Hui walked up to Chu Feng.

The Huangfu Heavenly Clan’s Clan Chief and Huangfu Zhantian didn’t stop her, but they continued staring at Shen Hui with wary eyes.

Shen Hui flicked her wrist, and a bead drifted toward Chu Feng. “This is from Lord Xue Ji.”

As a world spiritist, Chu Feng could tell the bead posed no danger; it merely contained a message. He pressed the bead against his head. The bead shattered, and its fragments disintegrated into an aura and seeped into his head.

Through the bead, Chu Feng sensed Xue Ji’s aura and saw her silhouette in his mind. She was as ravishing as before, but her disposition had gotten stronger.

Even though he had always called Eggy ‘Milady Queen’, it was more of a joke. Eggy was more like an eccentric girl.

Rather, Xue Ji felt more like a queen.

The Xue Ji in Chu Feng’s mind smiled at him, displaying neither enmity nor adoration. It felt like she was speaking to an acquaintance instead. “You two owe me a favor. I expect the favor to be returned when you get to the Ninth Galaxy in the future... assuming that you can catch up with me.”

Xue Ji’s silhouette dissipated from his mind.

She didn’t bother explaining her relationship with the Spirit God Clan; there was no need for her to do so, as no one could imitate her disposition. The bead was enough to prove the Spirit God Clansmen’s reliability.
