138: Someone is carrying the burden for you

The Immortal Realm has developed for countless years, with myriad forces, like stars filling the boundless territory.

Among these forces, there are also distinctions of rank.

The first echelon is known as the Supreme Forces.

Entities like the Sword Holding Alliance, Wuwo Sect, and Three Purities Sect have existed for countless years, possessing terrifying Foundations, with Immortal Kings as numerous as clouds, and even Invincible Immortal Kings suppressing them.

The second echelon is known as Super Forces.

The Seven Holy Lands, following the one alliance and three sects, are among them, also possessing profound Foundations, with more than one Peak Immortal King within their Holy Lands.

The third echelon consists of major forces that possess at least one Immortal King, dominating an Immortal King Domain.

The Xuan Nv Sect, already a renowned major sect in the Immortal Realm, only awaited Xuan Wei's promotion to Immortal King and the establishment of her own Immortal King Domain to become a truly major force!

However, the Xuan Nv Sect was annihilated.

It didn't take much effort, less than half an incense stick's time.

The Xuan Nv Sect, based in the Zhu Domain, instantly turned into a pile of dust, and even the Small World Xuan Wei had painstakingly cultivated was ground into powder and casually tossed into a large mine shaft.

This is Immortal Realm speed!

The reason for such efficiency was that those who acted against the Xuan Nv Sect included, but were not limited to, two Supreme Forces, seven Super Forces, and over twenty major forces.

“Tsk, your great sect is no good, it was destroyed so quickly.”

Even Chu Feng was somewhat surprised.

As he listened to the System’s prompts, a hint of astonishment flashed in his eyes.

Looking at Xuan Wei, who stood there dazed, her eyes glistening and on the verge of tears again, Chu Feng couldn't help but pat her shoulder once more in comfort, sympathizing:

“Why did you have to seek death for no reason? Why play that ‘Fight Chu Feng’ game? You think you’re so smart, so capable, and now look, you’ve offended someone you can’t afford to, haven’t you?”

“See? I didn’t even need to act; plenty of people came looking for trouble with you.”

“You… get lost!”

Mocked by Chu Feng, Xuan Wei’s tears welled up, her shoulders trembling as she tried her best not to cry.

Although she didn't receive a System notification, she immediately felt the annihilation of the Xuan Nv Sect and the dissipation of her sect’s Luck.

It was precisely because of this that she felt even more pain.

Cai Yu’s demise, the destruction of the sect she poured her heart into, and her enemy still mocking her from the side, yet she was powerless.

She looked towards Su Ji, thinking that at times like these, her teacher would always guide her and help her out of her low point.

As she looked at Su Ji, Xuan Wei froze.

Her teacher’s eyes were red, tears glistening, looking even sadder than her.

Su Ji’s composure had also collapsed.

She was once an Invincible Immortal King, a prominent figure in the Sword Domain.

Her personality was conservative and traditional; she focused solely on Cultivating and had never interacted with other men.

Now, in broad daylight, she was being played with like a toy, watching Xuan Wei being ridiculed in every possible way, yet powerless to do anything, her heart was already heavy.

But what truly made her lose her composure was that she had just noticed some acquaintances who knew her among the onlookers.

Social death isn't scary; what's scary is having acquaintances witness your social death.

Su Ji nearly fainted!

“Wuwuwu!”

Seeing this, Xuan Wei could no longer hold back, and tears streamed down her Face like a bursting dam.

Seeing the Heavenly Mandate Protagonist start shedding little pearls again.

Chu Feng, unable to bear it, comforted her: “Sigh, try to look on the bright side. Life is often unsatisfactory, nine times out of ten. When you think you’ve hit rock bottom, you must pull yourself together, because there’s definitely worse things waiting for you, right?”

He grabbed Xuan Wei’s head and twisted it 180 degrees, turning her head to the other side.

“See? Some people are even more pitiful than you, yet aren’t they still carrying on their burdens?”

At that moment, a cold voice sounded: “Little Mudskipper, come here.”

Who was Little Mudskipper?

Xuan Wei, enduring the pain, involuntarily looked with her red eyes.

In her line of sight, a man in a green robe, holding a large halberd, trotted forward as the voice echoed.

Azure Dragon Immortal Lord, Little Mudskipper?

Xuan Wei was stunned. Azure Dragon Immortal Lord was a truly top-tier Immortal Lord in the Immortal Realm, capable of Breaking Through to Immortal King at any moment. Who dared call him Little Mudskipper?

“Old Ancestor, you called for me?”

Seeing Azure Dragon Immortal Lord bowing and scraping, Xuan Wei’s gaze stopped before him. It was an Immortal King enveloped in blazing white divine light, with nine circles of divine refined immortal radiance slowly rotating behind him, displaying supreme immortal might.

Three Purities Sect, Ascension Immortal King!

Azure Dragon Immortal Lord also came from the Three Purities Sect, so for an Old Ancestor to call him Little Mudskipper seemed to be no problem.

“Why suddenly target the Xuan Nv Sect?”

Ascension Immortal King said, looking at Xuan Wei, his words showing some displeasure.

The Xuan Nv Sect Master was a talent chosen by Willow God.

See how highly she is regarded.

Willow God’s Dao Companion was even conversing with her, and Chu Feng had even patted Xuan Wei’s head—this was a very intimate gesture, and Xuan Wei was so moved she cried.

Azure Dragon Immortal Lord, at this moment, completely lacked the arrogance he had when killing Cai Yu. Enveloped by the gazes of other equally puzzled Immortal Kings, he stammered: “They framed me.”

“Framed you? How?”

“Earlier, outside the Domain Gate, the Xuan Nv Sect had a little trick called ‘Fight Chu Feng’. I found it interesting, so I played it.”

“This ‘Fight Chu Feng’ trick involved carving Lord Chu Feng onto jade tablets, and each tablet had a corresponding charge.”

“Oh? What charges?”

“They were all… all baseless charges, too unsightly to mention, better not to…”

Ascension Immortal King’s Face darkened upon hearing this, immediately realizing the seriousness of the problem: “Then what did you do?”

Azure Dragon Immortal Lord’s Face crumpled: “I didn’t do much.”

“At the time, I didn’t know who the person on the jade tablet was. I was provoked by the fabricated charges on the tablet and felt indignant, so I gave a small critique of Lord Chu Feng at the entrance of Liu Shen Domain.”

“That’s it?”

“And I also spoke disrespectfully of Lord Chu Feng, cursing him a few times.”

“Cursed what?”

“Old Ancestor, you don’t need to dig into such matters; it’s not important, he’s not important.”

Little Mudskipper tried to steady his voice, his Face mournful, as he defiantly retorted to his Old Ancestor.

“I’ll swat you to death, you idiot!”

Ascension Immortal King glared, his hair standing on end in fury, and slapped down directly!

Crack!

A loud sound.

Azure Dragon Immortal Lord, such a top-tier Immortal Lord, was instantly smashed into a pile of flesh by Ascension Immortal King!

Not important?

One must know, the higher the Realm, the more one cares about Face!

Otherwise, why would the Immortal Kings have contended with the Xuan Huang Cloud Platform in the first circle before!

You, you bastard, you insulted Willow God’s Dao Companion right in front of Liu Shen Domain.

Never mind if you were framed or not, just tell me if you did it or not!?

Azure Dragon Immortal Lord was left with only a wisp of his Divine Soul, which weakly emerged, crying: “Old Ancestor, I truly didn’t know this was a trap. I thought it was just a small game of ‘Fight the Evil Dragon’.”

Ascension Immortal King was furious: “Fight Chu Feng? Why don’t you go fight your mother?!”

“Old Ancestor, spare me! There’s something very fishy about this matter. Xuan Wei and Lord Chu Feng must have a conflict; she’s the instigator. Don’t kill me, kill her instead.”

Azure Dragon Immortal Lord’s Divine Soul howled repeatedly.

Ascension Immortal King’s Evil Qi surged, and he grabbed Azure Dragon Immortal Lord’s Divine Soul, intending to crush it.

Tian Ji Immortal King beside him quickly flashed and pulled his arm, advising: “You mustn’t, you mustn’t.”

“Azure Dragon Immortal Lord was also misled; he didn’t do it intentionally, and he knows he was wrong.”

Ascension Immortal King stroked his beard and glared, cursing: “What good is knowing you’re wrong? Today is Willow God’s grand ceremony, and they dared to speak disrespectfully, slandering Willow God’s Dao Companion. If I don’t clean house today, should I wait for them to provoke a great enemy and annihilate my Three Purities Sect instead?”

Bang!

Bang!

…

Just then.

Another series of dull thuds sounded.

Other Immortal Kings nearby felt that Ascension Immortal King’s words made a lot of sense, and they all took action, crushing the Physical Bodies of Immortal Lords like Little Saint Lord and Zhen Xing Immortal Lord, who had participated in ‘Fight Chu Feng’.

At the same time, gazes shot directly towards Xuan Wei, their eyes three parts puzzled, seven parts cold.

Xuan Wei, why did you create something like ‘Fight Chu Feng’?

Does Willow God know?

How does Chu Feng view this matter?

The Immortal Kings’ thoughts raced like lightning.

One was Willow God’s Dao Companion, the other was merely someone Willow God might have taken an interest in. How to side? Even a second’s hesitation was disrespect to Willow God.

Seeing this, Xuan Wei’s Face was numb.

Her heart churned with tumultuous waves.

She admitted that at this moment, she was deeply shocked.

Azure Dragon Immortal Lord, Little Saint Lord, and Zhen Xing Immortal Lord—these individuals were all the top Immortal Lords in the Immortal Realm, outstanding Prodigies of their generation.

Even she had to set aside her pride to befriend them and gain their favor.

Now, they were being mercilessly ground into the dirt by the Immortal Kings as if they were ants.

Their Physical Bodies crushed, their Divine Souls weakened, even if they recovered, it would be impossible for them to Break Through to Immortal King in the future.

And all of this was merely because they played the little game ‘Fight Chu Feng’ outside the Domain Gate.

Xuan Wei didn’t understand!

They were all Peak Immortal Kings!

Were they really that afraid?

Chu Feng sighed, turned Xuan Wei’s head back, and earnestly said: “See that?”

“I actually admire these Immortal Kings and Immortal Lords quite a bit; their brains are truly efficient.”

“I originally wanted to send all these Immortal Lords connected to you on their way.”

“I haven’t even acted yet, and they’ve already crushed themselves in apology. Do you know how many private messages I’m receiving right now? They’re all private apologies, some even offering me immortal king spiritual treasures. There’s even an Immortal King who wants to kill you, which makes me feel quite awkward.”

Chu Feng sighed, seemingly very helpless.

Xuan Wei’s eyebrows and lips trembled.

Using a borrowed knife to kill.

He was using a borrowed knife to kill!

She felt increasingly that this man was terrifying.

He did nothing, yet there were always people holding knives, stabbing her chest one by one, swiftly and brutally, every strike a critical hit.

She was in despair!

Xuan Wei knew that even if she miraculously escaped today, the vast Immortal Realm would no longer have a place for her.
