Fantasy, starting with a treasure bowl

"Heh, I didn't expect this guy to be so loyal..."

Gu Canyang's whispers also slowly drifted from inside the treasure basin, reaching Lu Feng's ears at the same time.

"ancient?"

Lu Feng's pupils constricted subconsciously, but Gu Canyang spoke up again to remind him, "Young man of the Lu family, with this person's cultivation level and strength, even if you wield the Earth Tiger Star and unleash its power to the limit, I'm afraid you wouldn't be a match for him..."

"To put it bluntly, even if this person couldn't gain the approval of Earth Tiger Star, killing you would be as easy as turning his hand!"

"However, even though this person knew that Earth Tiger Star had already fallen into your hands, he still gave up the opportunity to compete for it. Even I was somewhat surprised..."

Gu Canyang spoke in a low, somber tone, seemingly quite surprised by Chu Tianhong's decision.

After all, the Earth Tiger Star had been sealed in Falling Star Valley for over a thousand years and was also the treasure of Falling Star Academy.

Once Earth Tiger Star is lost, not only will the dying wish of Jin Tuo, the founder of Falling Star Academy, be thwarted, but the spiritual energy of heaven and earth around the entire Cangmang Mountain and its peaks will also be greatly reduced, by at least half, failing to live up to its former reputation as a treasure land!

It is evident that Chu Tianhong's magnanimity is truly unmatched by ordinary people, and he genuinely regards Lu Feng as the pride of Falling Star Academy, unconditionally supporting whatever decision the other party makes!

"You're right, Dean Chu is indeed a good person..."

Faced with Gu Canyang's reminder, Lu Feng also smiled slightly, silently replying in his heart, "After all, Dean Chu was once the famous 'Sword of No Killing.' If Dean Chu hadn't been kind-hearted, I probably wouldn't have had a chance to take action in the battle at Strange Stone Peak..."

Although Chu Tianhong was unable to withstand the combined attack of the two envoys of the Wusheng Sect in the battle of Strange Stone Peak, he was ultimately wounded and defeated.

However, Lu Feng could see that Chu Tianhong still had good intentions at the beginning and did not use his full strength. If the other party had unleashed his full strength from the start, Leng Youlan and Tu Su would most likely have suffered serious injuries and might not even have been able to leave Strange Stone Peak alive!

After listening to Chu Tianhong recount the past of Falling Star Academy, Lu Feng did not linger at Strange Stone Peak. He turned and left, also expressing his intention to temporarily leave Falling Star Academy.

After all, the Wusheng Sect's repeated large-scale invasions of Falling Star Academy were all aimed at the Earth Tiger Star. Now that the Earth Tiger Star has fallen into Lu Feng's hands, the Wusheng Sect's target will naturally shift accordingly.

Therefore, whether to prevent further attacks on Falling Star Academy or to protect the safety of Ren Xuanfei and the others, Lu Feng could not stay here for long and had to leave.

In addition, as his personal strength continued to improve and his horizons broadened, Lu Feng did not want to be confined to a remote place like Yuanfeng Realm for the rest of his life and stop making progress.

Because he still has many wishes to fulfill, whether it is the ten-year promise with Ye Yun, or storming the Wusheng Sect headquarters to rescue Lin Xiaoyu, or finding out Yan Wu's whereabouts, or inquiring about his own background.

All of this requires strong support!

Therefore, in order to become stronger and change his own destiny, Lu Feng had no choice but to venture into the wider world!

Chu Tianhong had obviously anticipated Lu Feng's decision and had no objections.

...

Strange Stone Peak, at the foot of the mountain

Swish!

The moment Lu Feng stepped out of the territory of Strange Stone Peak, a beautiful figure in yellow suddenly darted out from the side and embraced him tightly. Her pretty face was full of heartache and worry. "Waaah! Lu Feng, you're finally back...!"

"Waaaaah, I was so worried about you! I hadn't heard from you for almost a month, I thought you were... Waaaaah!"

As Ren Xuanfei wiped away her tears, she desperately leaned into Lu Feng's arms, looking like a newlywed wife who had been separated from her husband for a long time. She looked pitiful and heartbreaking.

"Hehe, your husband is a lucky man, of course nothing will happen to me."

Lu Feng gently patted Ren Xuanfei's back, offering a comforting smile as he added, "By the way, wife, how did you know I was here?"

"Of course...!"

"Hehe, of course Old Chu told us in advance..."

Just as Ren Xuanfei was about to explain, a faint laugh came slowly from the nearby woods.

Swish!Swish!Swish!

Then, more than a dozen figures suddenly leaped out from the crowd and landed one after another, surrounding Lu Feng on the other side, making the atmosphere on the scene lively.

"Huh, why are you all...?!"

Upon seeing this, Lu Feng was stunned for a moment, his face showing surprise.

The crowd was huge, including the Ren siblings, a large group of old acquaintances of Lu Feng, and even Elder Liu Lanyu of the Scripture Hall and Vice Dean Xia Xihai. It was quite a grand affair!

"Hehe, junior brother Lu Feng, why did you sneak away without telling your senior sister? That's a bit unkind of you."

Cao Keying's chest trembled slightly as she spoke in a teasing tone.

"My aunt is right. Moreover, if it weren't for Brother Lu's help back then, not only would my life be in danger, but the entire Falling Star Academy would probably cease to exist. I owe Brother Lu a huge favor..."

As soon as Cao Keying finished speaking, Duan Lang chimed in, his face beaming with smiles.

After all, in the battle at Strange Stone Peak, if it weren't for Lu Feng turning the tide, none of them would have been able to stand here alive.

"Fellow Daoist Lu, thank you."

Like Cao Keying and the others, Shen Tianzhong was also among the crowd, but his tone of voice remained very reserved, and he only bowed slightly to express his gratitude.

"Senior Sister Cao, Fellow Daoist Duan, and Fellow Daoist Shen?"

His eyes instinctively drifted to Cao Keying's full, perky, snow-white breasts. Lu Feng swallowed hard, then quickly looked away. "What are you doing?"

"Lu Feng, actually everyone heard that you were leaving, so we thought we'd come and see you off..."

Seeing Lu Feng's surprised expression, Ren Xuanfei in his arms quickly explained, but her tone was a little hesitant, and her pretty face was full of worry, as if she was still worried about something.

"What the girl from the Ren family said is right."

Beside him, Liu Lanyu stepped forward as well, and then said unhurriedly, "You're about to set off, kid. We were once elders of the academy and your seniors, so it's only right that we show our respect. At the very least, we should come and see you off in person..."

"Lu Feng, have a safe journey!"

Liu Lanyu stood with her arms crossed, her face as stern as ever, prompting Xia Xihai to shake his head helplessly. "Hey! Junior Sister Liu, Little Lu is only temporarily leaving Falling Star Academy, he's not going to die anytime soon..."

"Why are you making it sound like Lu Zi is about to die? There's no need to make the atmosphere so heavy. Besides, there are a bunch of disciples watching. Let's lighten the mood..."
