34 Rift

The one who was surprised the most was Shengguan Xuanye himself. He couldn't believe what he was seeing right now. A junior who was younger than his grandson was standing on the same level as him.

He could sense the spirit power and it's quality wasn't lower than his marital power. This was only because chu feng didn't want to expose his bloodline so he held back. Otherwise Shengguan Xuanye wouldn't be able to resist his spirit power that easily.

The situation immediately changed. Now he had to face two people with the same cultivation as him. The situation wasn't looking good for the Holy Light Clan. If they were in the Ancient Master Realm, he would be able to deploy some counter measures but now in the storm world, he was on his own.

This was an open challenge to both his and the collective dignity of the Holy Light Clan. If he didn't stabilise the situation right now there would be no face left for him and the entire clan.

Chu Feng then gave him a cold smile and announced to the crowd,"The prize for getting the first place in the competition was the bloodline water of your clan. Yet, I got a jar full of poison instead. The Holy Light Clan wanted to refine me into a medicine to cure Shengguan Yu's injuries. They also wanted to increase his talent by doing that. "

Suddenly there was a lot of noise from the Holy Light Clansmen.

"Chu Feng, don't spout lies if you are a man. You clearly wanted to steal our clans resources and also hurt our clansmen."

"Shameless bastard, you were the one who hurt young master Yu. Stop telling lies."

They were very angry and were releasing killing intent towards Chu Feng. The surrounding crowd immediately understood what really happened. Although they guessed something similar, listening to Chu Feng finally confirmed what really happened.

Shengguan Xuanye realised what chu feng was trying to do and his face turned ugly. If he stopped chu feng right now, it would only be seen as admitting to what was said. He wasn't worried about that at all as he was the ruler of the galaxy. However, he wasn't sure how Elder Guizhi would react to it.

Chu Feng continued to smile as he said,"Shameless? That is rich coming from bastards like you. Look, even your clan head is silently admitting to it. Afterwards I took Shengguan Yu hostage to pay you back for it. What I hate the most in my life is being threatened. Since you want to be cruel I can't disappoint you now, can I?"

He stopped for a second and gave them a disdainful look as he continued,"Shengguan Xuanye can't even touch me much less harm me. Why would I stoop down to your level and lie?"

Jiuhun Guizhi then spoke with a smile,"Holy Light Clan Head, you should already realise why I am here. Little friend Chu Feng is a friend of our clan's princess. No matter what he did until now, I am going to stand behind him today. I wonder if you could give our Nine Soul Sacred Clan face."

Although she said that with a smile everyone could hear the underlying threat in that statement. It was like an ultimatum she gave by showing the difference in their status.

Shengguan Xuanye had a hideous expression on his face as he looked back at chu feng. He grit his teeth and said,"What is it that you want?"

Chu Feng's expression turned fierce again as he spoke,"I will give you that piece of shit Shengguan Yu back. I will also not fight you here. I wonder how many of your clansmen would be alive if we fight here. You would have a hard time saving yourself much less your clansmen."

He paused slightly and continued,"In return I have a few conditions you must accept. Don't misunderstand. This isn't a request."

Shengguan Xuanye had a hard time controlling his killing intent. He struggled to regain composure as he said,"What conditions?"

Chu Feng immediately started speaking,

"First, no one will touch Long Xiaoxiao or her mother. No one including the Dragon Clan and the Holy Light Clan will have the authority to dictate her actions."

"Second, No one will touch my friends back in Ancestral Martial Starfied or any Star field."

"Third, I want 2 times the bloodline water that you promised as a reward."

"If anyone of your clansmen commits a single infraction, I will rain down hell on your clan. I will know if you use indirect or underhanded methods."

He then calmed down and continued,"If you agree to those conditions and bring the bloodline water, I will tell you the location where your grandson is being tortured."

It took a few seconds for Shengguan Xuanye to calm down. He first looked at Jiuhun Guizhi and said,"The Nine Soul Sacred Clan once helped our Holy Light Clan in the past so I will definitely give you face. However, I too have a few conditions."

She replied,"What are those conditions?"

He nodded and spoke,"I want you to guarantee that chu feng will adhere to his promise and give back my grandson."

She nodded and looked at chu feng,"Little Friend Chu Feng, could you tell him where his grandson is? It would be simpler this way."

He shrugged and replied with a mischievous smile,"Coiling Dragon Snow Mountain. I also lied about him dying if anyone interfered."

As soon as he said that multiple Holy Light clansmen immediately set out to bring him back. Soon, the crowd experienced as shiver down their spine when they saw the state in which Shengguan Yu was in. He was completely bloody and in a daze shouting 'Please don't kill me, I won't do it again' repeatedly.

They could only imagine what kind of torture he experienced. The holy light clansmen were enraged and started shouting.

"How could you be so cruel? You animal."

"How dare you hurt young master Yu?"

"Lord Clan Head, kill him. Don't agree to his conditions."

"Yes. No one can insult the dignity of our clan and get away with it."

They were ready to charge at Chu Feng but stopped when they heard Shengguan Xuanye shout,"That's enough. Take him back and start healing. Elder Ming, go and bring the bloodline water." It was a direct order and nobody refuted.

Chu Feng then gave them a cold smile and said,"You wanted to turn me into a medicine for that piece of shit. Instead of killing him I left him in that state. You should thank my generosity instead."

He then turned to Princess Miaomiao and smiled,"Aren't I being generous, Miaomiao?"

She started laughing and said,"You know, you might have changed a lot but that annoying side of you is still the same."

Chu Feng gave back a helpless smile and said,"Who asked me to be so kind hearted?"

After some time Shengguan Ming came back with a jar in his right hand. Shengguan Xuanye then passed the jar to Chu Feng and said,"We will agree to your conditions but if you look for trouble yourself don't expect us to be polite."

With that said he turned back and walked away with his clansmen back to their camp.

After they reached the camp, he suddenly vomited blood. It wasn't due to some injury but out of pure anger. He had a pair of bloodshot eyes as his expression turned hideous. All of the surrounding clansmen were scared when they saw him like this.

He then clenched his fist and shouted," If I don't take your dog's life Chu Feng, I won't be human."

Back at he crowded area the situation turned a little strange. Many of the forces started to depart while some stayed behind to talk to chu feng. The ones who stayed included the rulers of the upper starfields, many loose forces who wanted to build contacts with Chu Feng. The younger generation of the original camp were also eager to meet Chu Feng.

Song Yun and her evil looking group was also waiting for him on the other side.

(Chu Feng' s POV)

I came to the Nine Soul Sacred Clan chariot at the request of Elder Guizhi. I went into the largest palace along with Miaomiao and Jiuhun Guizhi. I could tell that although they have the same level of cultivation, Elder Guizhi was stronger than Shengguan Xuanye.

Soon we came to the backyard. There was a large lake along with a circular pavilion in it's middle. We were headed towards the pavilion. The pavilion was a few hundred meters in diameter. There were many tables in the pavilions for people to sit.

All three of us sat down on the adjacent tables at the corner of the pavilion. There was a fresh breeze coming in which was very pleasant. There were many formations surrounding the pavilion that absorbed the natural energies from the void and condensed them so that it would be pleasant for cultivators.

Miaomiao immediately asked,"Chu Feng, tell me quickly. How did your strength increase so quickly? It has only been a couple of months since we met."

I smiled at her impatience and replied,"Last time we met I didn't show you my full power. I gained an opportunity after I left the Nine Souls Galaxy. I was able to make a breakthrough in my Spirit power level. As for my martial cultivation, I was actually on a verge of breakthrough back when I met you. I was just getting ready for my Divine Lightning Affliction."

I then looked at Elder Guizhi and continued,"I want to thank you for your support senior. I really appreciate it. Is there anything specific you want to talk to me about?"

Jiuhun Guizhi then gave a warm smile and said,"It was a rewarding experience to come to this galaxy this time. I was able to witness a genius of your caliber. I have to say our Miaomiao has a good eye."

Miaomiao's face immediately turned red as she immediately shouted,"What are you saying grandma Guizhi? It's not like that at all."

Elder Guizhi chuckled and continued,"Alright, I won't involve myself in youngsters' affairs. You don't have to get flustered like that. By the way Little Friend Chu Feng you are right. I do have something to ask you. I heard from Miaomiao that you have a connection to the woman that we are searching. Contacting that expert is very important to our clan but Miaomiao refuses to speak about it. I had no choice to ask you. I would be grateful if you can provide us with some information."

Miaomiao's eyes widened and she was about to protest. I immediately intervened and said,"It's alright Miaomiao. Let me explain." She calmed down and nodded.

I then looked at Elder Guizhi and said,"Before I start explaining, I want you to promise me that the contents of this conversation will not reach another soul without my permission."

She immediately nodded and replied,"Yes. Rest assured, no one will know. I also want to tell you that we absolutely mean no harm to that expert. In fact, technically speaking we are not capable of harming her."

I smiled and said,"I trust Miaomiao. What do you want to know? Ask away. Also senior, just call me Chu Feng. I am not big on formalities."

She too smiled and asked,"What exactly is her connection to you?"

I thought for a second and replied,"If I am not wrong, she would my grandmother. The one called 'Chu Hanxian' whom she is searching for is actually my grandfather. Even if she is not my grandmother, she is defined related to my grandfather."
