Chapter 5874: Reason for Returning

Chu Feng’s mind was groggy. He couldn’t hear or remember anything; there was only one thing salient to him—pain.

It was the punishment he had to take for pushing himself beyond his limit. Visit no(v)eLb(i)n.com for the best novel reading experience

Without Wen Xue’s help, ordinary recovery methods did little to help him. This punishment also lasted for a long time as if to remind him of the grievous sin he had committed, so that he would think twice before committing it again.

When Chu Feng was finally able to open his eyes once more, he saw a familiar face and heard a familiar voice.

“Big brother Chu Feng, how are you feeling?”

Zi Ling’s beautiful face not only reflected her worry but her frailty too. Even so, the corners of her lips curled into a beautiful smile when she confirmed that Chu Feng was awake, which lit up her frail face.

This was the magic of romance. It could make a person frail, but it could also energize a person. However, Chu Feng still felt conscience-ridden for making Zi Ling go through such a difficult time.

“I’m fine. I’m sorry to have worried you.” Chu Feng pushed himself up despite being in a weakened state; he wanted to make himself look fine to allay Zi Ling’s worry.

“How can I not be worried? But I don’t blame you for this. I’ll unconditionally support you no matter what you do,” Zi Ling said with a sweet smile.

“I know.” Chu Feng gently touched Zi Ling’s cheeks. This was just the kind of person she was, which only made him feel even more apologetic to her.

“How was it?” Zi Ling asked.

They only knew that Chu Feng had challenged the Ancestral Martial Realm Sect’s main city, but they didn’t know the outcome. Chu Feng told Zi Ling everything that had happened.

Similarly, Zi Ling also told him how the Hidden Dragon Martial Sect’s sectmaster and Wen Xue were faring. Wen Xue had paid a hefty price to treat him, so she would need some time to make a full recovery. The sectmaster was doing slightly better, but not by much.

Chu Feng’s allies had paid a heavy price to help him deal with Jie Tianran.

As for Jie Tianran, the Hidden Dragon Martial Sect could see his every movement despite the many layers of formation he had constructed around the Ancestral Martial Realm Sect’s main city, so they could tell that he hadn’t returned since Chu Feng passed out.

The Seven Realms Sacred Mansion’s elders continued examining the gates of the Ancestral Martial Realm Sect’s main city, but they were unable to make any progress without the aid of a supporting means.

“It looks like there’s a limit to Jie Tianran’s recovery means as well, but that’s to be expected.” Chu Feng heaved a sigh of relief.

He told her what he had encountered in the Ancestral Martial Realm Sect, but he didn’t just stop there.

Since Zi Ling was present here too, he told them what he had gone through ever since leaving the Ancestral Martial Galaxy, such as his meeting with Long Chengyu and the others, venturing into the Immemorial Star Sea, his conflict with the Seven Realms Sacred Mansion, the events that transpired in the Nine Heavens’ Zenith, and so on.

The sectmaster nodded in approval. She felt that Chu Feng’s deeds had brought honor to their Hidden Dragon Martial Sect.

“Chu Feng, our Hidden Dragon Martial Sect’s ancestor, who resides in True Essence Mountain, told me to hand this to you. She played a critical role in protecting our Ancestral Martial Galaxy. You should remember her, right?” the sectmaster said as she passed a Cosmos Sack to Chu Feng.

“Of course,” Chu Feng replied with a smile.

As soon as he received the Cosmos Sack, a formation surfaced. This was a formation that only Chu Feng could decipher. He quickly deciphered the formation, and a message flowed into his head.

Through the message, he learned that the ancestor residing in the True Essence Mountain was the Martial Cultivator Commerce Guild’s guild leader. It finally dawned on him why the guild leader helped him even though they had never met before.

It turned out that they were from the same sect.

The other party told Chu Feng to keep this matter a secret. She didn’t want the sectmaster and the others to know about her other identity.

Aside from that, she also gave Chu Feng an address. She would be going into seclusion there, and Chu Feng could look for her there if he needed her help.

“The world of cultivation thinks that our Ancestral Martial Galaxy is a pushover, but little do they know that we have many experts hidden in our midst,” Chu Feng remarked.

“Of course.” The sectmaster nodded in agreement.

She didn’t know their ancestor was the Martial Cultivator Commerce Guild’s guild leader, but she knew that their ancestor was a Heavenly God level cultivator who possessed the means to deal with the Ancient Era’s clan leaders.

“Chu Feng, you should stay in the Hidden Dragon Martial Sect for the time being if you have nothing up,” the sectmaster said.

Those from the Seven Realms Sacred Mansion had infiltrated the Ancestral Martial Galaxy and were constructing formations everywhere under the pretext of protecting them, but they clearly had other motives in mind.

Considering the enmity between Chu Feng and the Seven Realms Sacred Mansion, he would be in a safer position if he remained in the Hidden Dragon Martial Sect.

However, Chu Feng shook his head.

In truth, he would have returned even if not for the Ancient Era’s clans attacking the Hidden Dragon Martial Sect.
