Catching Chu Feng

A qualified genius must, at the very least, be able to face death fearlessly. The competition among geniuses in the Myriad Dao Realm was extremely brutal—no one there was afraid of death.

Yan Qian herself was from the Myriad Dao Realm. Although her family was not the most powerful, the descendants she had trained had never shown a trace of fear, even when facing life and death.

If you fear death, why fight for the top position? How can you strive for the benefits of the sect that cultivated you? Chu Feng's performance was a far cry from what she expected.

"Master, isn't there another way? Could you self-destruct your soul to let me escape?"

"Xiao Feng… what are you saying?!" Yan Qian stared at her apprentice in disbelief.

"Don't forget, I was the one who woke you up. Now that I'm in danger, you should help me! You owe me this!"

Chu Feng had had enough of Yan Qian. He resented how useless she was. If he had been granted a better cheat, Mu Feng would have been nothing, and Wang Muxue would already be in his grasp.

"Chu Feng, how dare you speak to me that way? I am your master!" Even the calmest person has their limits, and Yan Qian could no longer hold back her anger.

"If you're my master, then you should help me escape! You must have a way!"

"I…" Yan Qian hesitated. She did have a way to help Chu Feng escape, but it would come at the cost of her soul being torn apart.

She had been framed in the Myriad Dao Realm, with only a fragment of her soul escaping to the lower world. Her sole wish was to return to the Myriad Dao Realm to take revenge. She accepted Chu Feng as her disciple in the hopes that he would one day become powerful enough to help her achieve that goal. But if her soul was destroyed now, all of it—her revenge, her plans—would become meaningless.

Seeing Yan Qian hesitate, Chu Feng's resentment only deepened. Not only was she useless, but she wasn't even prepared to sacrifice herself for him. What kind of cheat was this? It was absolutely worthless.

"You are quite brave."

Mu Feng's voice cut through the tension as he arrived with Himura in tow. He had been tracking Chu Feng through system prompts along the way. The updates revealed that Chu Feng and Wang Muxue had become mortal enemies and that Chu Feng had fallen out with Yan Qian. These developments had earned Mu Feng a significant amount of villain points.

"Young Master~" Wang Muxue's face lit up when she saw Mu Feng. She ran over, eager to explain herself.

"No need to explain. I know everything."

Mu Feng casually pulled Wang Muxue into his arms, his hand resting on her slender waist. He kissed her cheek, and Wang Muxue beamed with happiness.

Mu Feng patted her lightly on the buttocks, signaling her to step aside for now. Wang Muxue obediently moved to stand behind him.

Mu Feng then turned his attention to Chu Feng and said, "Senior, would you kindly show yourself?"

"You knew of my existence all along?" Yan Qian sighed as she emerged from the ring, bowing slightly to Mu Feng.

"Yan Qian of the Heavenly Pill Medicine Pavilion greets you, sir," she said respectfully.

"Oh~ Are you from the Heavenly Pill Medicine Pavilion?" Mu Feng showed a hint of surprise.

"Young Master, if you've heard of the Heavenly Pill Medicine Pavilion, then you must know that although we are not the top force in the Myriad Dao Realm, we are still a first-rate power. If you can let us go, I will certainly repay you once I return to the Heavenly Pill Medicine Pavilion."

Seeing that Mu Feng was familiar with the Heavenly Pill Medicine Pavilion, Yan Qian tried to use its reputation to gain favor. In the Myriad Dao Realm, a favor from the Heavenly Pill Medicine Pavilion was highly valuable.

"I've heard of the Heavenly Pill Medicine Pavilion, but have you heard of the immortal family—the everlasting, immortal Ancient Mu Clan?" Mu Feng smiled faintly as he looked at Yan Qian.

Yan Qian's heart trembled. Though she had already suspected as much, hearing this confirmation still left her shaken.

Who in the Myriad Dao Realm hadn't heard of the Eternal Evergreen, Immortal Ancient Mu Clan? It was the clan with the longest history and shrouded in mystery.

Even if heaven and earth were destroyed, the Mu Clan would remain. Even in immeasurable catastrophes, time itself could not erase it.

The Ancient Mu Clan was mentioned in the earliest records of the Myriad Dao Realm. Though no one knew exactly how long the Mu Clan had existed, one truth was universally understood: the Mu Clan was untouchable. It was a taboo.

When Yan Qian had gotten into trouble, Mu Feng hadn't yet been born, so she hadn't recognized him at first. If she had known from the beginning that Mu Feng was a member of the Mu Clan, she wouldn't have dared to offend him—not even if she'd been given ten lives.

"So, you're from the Mu Clan. I was reckless earlier. Please forgive me." Yan Qian bowed deeply to Mu Feng.
