I, a spoiled young master, conquered the Crown Princess right from the start!

The deathly silence in the hall lasted for a good dozen breaths.

Finally, a piercing scream shattered the suffocating silence.

"Lei Ao!"

The disciples of the Divine Firmament Holy Land who were traveling with Lei Ao finally recovered from their extreme shock. They rushed to Lei Ao's body and stared at his unseeing eyes with eyes that seemed to burst with rage.

"You...you actually killed him!"

One of the leading youths suddenly looked up and stared intently at Chu Feng with an extremely venomous gaze.

"Do you know who you killed?! He was the grandson of the Grand Elder of the Divine Firmament Holy Land! You're dead! No one in heaven or on earth can save you now!"

This young man, named Wang Teng, was also a core disciple of the Divine Firmament Holy Land.

At this moment, besides anger, he felt even more fear.

Lei Ao was killed right in front of them. If they couldn't avenge him, they would definitely suffer the consequences when they returned to the Holy Land.

Chu Feng picked at his ear, seemingly annoyed by the other person's loud voice.

He glanced at Wang Teng, his expression indifferent.

"Who he is, and what does it have to do with me?"

One sentence was like a bucket of ice water being poured over Wang Teng, instantly extinguishing half of his anger.

Looking into Chu Feng's calm, still eyes, a chill rose from the bottom of his heart.

Is this guy... a madman?

How could he remain so calm after killing a core disciple of the Divine Firmament Holy Land?

Chu Feng remained completely unmoved.

The Divine Firmament Holy Land? The Grand Elder's grandson?

He dared to cut off the arm of the Sword Palace Master and dared to defy the Holy King. What is a mere elder of a Holy Land?

Since we've already made enemies, let's just eliminate them all at once.

He looked at the few indignant but hesitant disciples of the Divine Firmament Holy Land, and a cold smile curled at the corner of his mouth.

"You guys want to go down and keep him company too?"

A simple sentence, yet it struck Wang Teng and his companions like a heavy hammer.

The color drained from their faces instantly.

on?

What should we use?

Lei Aozun, at the peak of the Lord Realm, couldn't even withstand a single move from his opponent and was crushed like a chicken.

The highest level any of them could reach was the Heavenly Venerable Realm. Wouldn't they just be easy prey if they went up there?

The group exchanged glances, and each saw fear and hesitation in the other's eyes.

Just then, an untimely voice rang out from another direction.

"Your Excellency is being far too domineering."

Everyone looked in the direction of the voice and saw a young man dressed in brocade robes and holding a folding fan slowly stand up.

He cupped his hands in a respectful gesture towards Chu Feng, a fake smile on his face.

"Tonight, we are all here at the invitation of the City Lord of Baidi City. You killed someone in front of the City Lord's mansion, and now you are committing murder at the banquet. Isn't this a blatant disrespect for the City Lord of Baidi City?"

These words were spoken with great skill.

Instead of directly blaming Chu Feng, he brought up the White Emperor City Lord, attempting to use the rules of White Emperor City to suppress Chu Feng.

Many of the prodigies nodded secretly upon hearing this.

That's right, this is Baidi City, not a place where just anyone can run wild.

No matter how strong this young man in black is, does he dare to be an enemy of the entire Baidi City?

Upon hearing this, Wang Teng and the others, as if grasping at a straw, immediately echoed, "That's right! You openly committed crimes in Baidi City and showed contempt for the City Lord's authority. Baidi City will absolutely not let you off!"

Chu Feng was about to speak when he was interrupted by a soft cough.

"Cough...cough cough..."

Everyone turned to look in the direction from which the sound came.

A woman dressed in a plain white dress, with an exquisite face and ethereal temperament, was slowly walking in from outside the hall, supported by a maid.

The woman looked to be around twenty years old, with skin so white it was almost translucent, as if she had never seen the sun.

Her face was sickly pale, but her clear, watery eyes seemed to hold a starry sky, deep and captivating.

She walked very slowly, each step seemingly requiring immense effort, and occasionally letting out a suppressed cough or two.

She looked so sickly, as if a gust of wind could blow her over.

"It's Bai Luoxue, the eldest daughter of the City Lord's Mansion!"

"My God! Why is she out here? Wasn't she said to have a rare illness and hadn't left the house for years?"

"Look at her complexion, it's terrible... It's rumored that the city lord has invited renowned doctors from all over the land, but none of them could cure her illness. It seems that it's true."

"Shh! Keep your voice down! Don't let anyone hear you!"

Whispers filled the hall once again.

But this time, everyone's eyes were focused on the sickly woman, their eyes filled with sympathy and regret.

Bai Luoxue, the only daughter of the Lord of Baidi City, is the most dazzling pearl in this star field at the center of the Heavenly Realm.

Legend has it that when she was born, auspicious omens appeared in the sky, and all the flowers bloomed, leading to her being hailed as having the appearance of an empress.

Unfortunately, fate is cruel to beautiful women. Three years ago, she suddenly contracted a terrible disease, her cultivation was completely destroyed, and her life essence kept draining away. She went from a radiant and proud woman to a sickly person who was beyond the reach of medicine.

Chu Feng's brows furrowed slightly.

He watched the woman slowly approaching, and a ripple of emotion stirred within him.

"Huh? This little girl..."

In his mind, the voice of Medicine King Yun Qingzi suddenly rang out with a hint of surprise.

"What's wrong?" Chu Feng wondered to himself.

"There's a very strange aura of decay about her... It doesn't seem like illness, nor poisoning, nor even a curse..." The Medicine King's voice carried a hint of solemnity, "It seems more like... the five signs of decay in a celestial being."

"The Five Signs of Decay of Heaven and Man?" Chu Feng was taken aback.

"Yes, according to legend, certain signs only appear when the bloodline is too strong or when a person is born with great fortune comes to the end of their life."

"Exhausted vital energy, decaying spirit and soul, collapsed foundation of Dao... This is a decline that begins at the very source of life, incurable and irreversible." The Medicine Emperor sighed, "Strange, how could this young girl have been tainted by such a thing? Judging from her appearance, I'm afraid... she won't live more than three months."

Upon hearing this, Chu Feng's heart stirred.

He looked Bai Luoxue over again and found that although she was shrouded in a faint light, trying her best to conceal it, the deathly and decaying aura emanating from her very bones was impossible to hide.

Just as Chu Feng was pondering, Bai Luoxue had already walked to the center of the hall.

Her gaze swept over Lei Ao's corpse on the ground without the slightest ripple, as if it were merely an eyesore.

Finally, her gaze fell on Chu Feng.

Those clear, watery eyes held a hint of curiosity, a hint of scrutiny, and a hint of... kindness that others couldn't understand.

The young man in brocade robes holding a folding fan, seeing Bai Luoxue appear, thought his chance had come and quickly spoke again, saying righteously, "Miss Bai, you've come at the perfect time! This man acts arrogantly, disregarding the rules of Baidi City. Please give the order to arrest him and set an example!"

Upon hearing this, Bai Luoxue finally shifted her gaze from Chu Feng to him.

She looked at him, her eyes calm.

"You mean, we should take him down?"

"Exactly!" The young man in brocade robes stood tall and proud.

Bai Luoxue's lips suddenly curled into a faint, slightly mocking smile.

With a voice so soft it seemed as if it might break at any moment, she uttered a sentence that struck everyone present like a thunderbolt.

"He's the successor of the Human Emperor, are you sure you want to take him down?"

The words fell.

The whole world fell into a deathly silence once again.

The smug look on the young man's face froze instantly, turning into endless shock and bewilderment.

The resentment and expectation on Wang Teng and the others' faces turned into blankness and disbelief.

Every single one of the geniuses present was frozen in place, as if struck by lightning.

Their brains exploded with a bang.

A... a descendant of the Human Emperor?!

This young man in black is none other than Chu Feng, the successor of the Human Emperor who stirred up the heavens and earth, defied the Holy King, and stood against the Holy Emperor!
