158: Qingxuan and Hongluan are vying for the seat next to Chu Feng.

True Dragon Secret Realm.

Located deep within the Cangwu Mountain Range in the East Region of the Immortal Realm, it is the place where an Ancient True Dragon perished.

Outside the Secret Realm, the mountains are majestic, shrouded in clouds and mist.

The distant Peaks pierce the sky, their summits covered in white snow, reflecting the colorful clouds in the horizon.

Currently, the entrance to the Secret Realm is already packed with people.

“I didn't expect so many Sects to come this time. It seems the temptation of the True Dragon Secret Realm is truly irresistible.”

“That's natural. It is said that the Secret Realm not only holds the Legacy of an Ancient True Dragon but also countless Heaven And Earth Treasure, and perhaps even the Opportunity for a Breakthrough to the Golden Immortal Stage!”

“Look quickly, Goddess Qing Xuan of the Moonlight Immortal Sect has arrived.”

“Fairy Hong Luan of the Taihua Immortal Sect has also arrived, along with Vice Palace Master Luo Qingyan of the Hall of Serving Gods.”

Discussions rose and fell. Many who came to join the excitement looked far into the distance, their gazes sweeping across the various Sects.

Just then, a wave of immense Immortal Qi fluctuation came from the distant sky. Everyone looked up and saw Venerable Xuanfa, leading Chu Feng, Holy Maiden, and Holy Maidens Junior Sister, slowly descending upon auspicious clouds.

Venerable Xuanfa wore a grey Daoist robe, held a whisk, possessed the air of an Immortal Revered Master, and was surrounded by faint golden light.

Holy Maiden was dressed in a pure white Saint robe, her appearance exquisitely beautiful, her temperament cool and distant, like a sacred snow lotus, making the surrounding Disciples afraid to look directly at her.

“The people from the Wanfa Sect are here!”

“That must be the Saintess of the Wanfa Sect, Holy Maiden. She is beautiful indeed.”

“Who is that young man next to her? He looks unfamiliar. He shouldn't be a Disciple of the Wanfa Sect, right?”

Everyone's attention quickly focused on Chu Feng. Soon, a shocking scene unfolded before them.

“Fellow Daoist Xuanfa, I trust you have been well?”

Sect Master Su Yuechan of the Moonlight Immortal Sect stepped forward and exchanged pleasantries.

Venerable Xuanfa cupped his hands and smiled.

“Sect Master Su is too kind.”

The next moment, Su Yuechan's gaze fell upon Chu Feng.

“Fellow Daoist Xuanfa, this person doesn't seem to be a Disciple of your Wanfa Sect?”

Venerable Xuanfa smiled slightly, his tone carrying a hint of pride.

“This is Young Friend Chu Feng. He is the Dao Protector I specially invited for our Sect's Saintess.”

As soon as these words were spoken, the square immediately erupted in an uproar.

They truly could not understand why Venerable Xuanfa would allow an outsider to serve as the Saintess's Dao Protector.

“An outsider can actually be the Dao Protector of the Wanfa Sect's Saintess? Has Venerable Xuanfa gone senile?”

Holy Maidens Junior Sister, however, widened her round eyes and made a face at Chu Feng.

“Big Brother Chu Feng, they don't believe you can protect Sister Yun!”

Chu Feng paid no attention to this, merely smiling faintly without offering a defense.

Just as everyone was discussing animatedly, a slender figure walked out.

Qing Xuan walked straight up to Chu Feng, a flash of concern in her eyes.

“Long time no see. I didn't expect you to also participate in the True Dragon Secret Realm.”

Her voice was gentle, carrying a trace of imperceptible intimacy, which stunned everyone around them.

No one had expected that Goddess Qing Xuan actually knew Chu Feng, and their relationship seemed extraordinary.

Chu Feng looked at Qing Xuan before him, his tone carrying a hint of awkwardness.

“I also didn't expect to meet you here.”

Qing Xuan seemed oblivious to the strange looks around her. She took a step forward, moving closer to Chu Feng.

“The Secret Realm is fraught with danger. Your cultivation is still shallow. Follow me closely after entering the Secret Realm, and I will protect you.”

These words were like a sudden clap of thunder, instantly silencing the discussions in the square.

Everyone stared at Qing Xuan dumbfounded. Who was Goddess Qing Xuan?

She was a once-in-ten-thousand-years prodigy of the Moonlight Immortal Sect, yet she wanted to protect a young man who had just completed his Ascension.

“Goddess Qing Xuan actually wants to protect Chu Feng? What exactly is their relationship?”

“What status does Goddess Qing Xuan possess, yet she pays such attention to someone in the Celestial Immortal Stage.”

“What is the background of this Chu Feng?”

A young man wearing a golden brocade robe, seeing this scene, instantly darkened his expression.

This person was named Ji Wuye. He was the Young Lord of the Ji Family, an Ancient Holy Land. He was especially skilled in Alchemy, and despite his young age, he had already reached the True Immortal Ninth Level cultivation. He was an outstanding figure among the Young Generation of the Immortal Realm.

He had always been deeply devoted to Qing Xuan. In order to pursue Qing Xuan, he deliberately followed the Moonlight Immortal Sect to the True Dragon Secret Realm this time, but he never expected Qing Xuan to be so intimate with an unknown nobody.

Ji Wuye's hands were clenched tightly into fists, and raging jealousy burned in his eyes.

He stared fiercely at Chu Feng, his gaze filled with killing intent.

“An unknown brat who popped up from nowhere—does he deserve to be treated like this by Qing Xuan?”

After entering the Secret Realm, I must find an Opportunity to make this brat completely disappear!

Qing Xuan can only be my, Ji Wuye's, woman!

His aura became somewhat violent. The surrounding Moonlight Immortal Sect Disciples noticed his abnormality and quickly lowered their heads, not daring to look him in the eye.

Su Yuechan frowned slightly, looking at Ji Wuye, a flash of displeasure in her eyes, but she did not say much.

Just then, Yun Xi of the Taihua Immortal Sect also walked up to Chu Feng.

“Chu Feng, I'm entrusting Hong Luan to your care.”

Chu Feng looked at Yun Xi, and the memory of their previous tenderness surfaced in his mind. His gaze was somewhat evasive, and he said awkwardly.

“Alright.”

Hong Luan stood behind Yun Xi, a trace of shyness in her eyes.

She looked at Chu Feng, her cheeks slightly flushed, her heart pounding wildly.

The surrounding people were once again shocked. Who exactly was this Chu Feng, that he could earn such trust from two major Sects?

“Sect Master Yun actually knows Chu Feng and even entrusted Fairy Hong Luan to his care?”

“This Chu Feng's network is too extensive! Both the Moonlight Immortal Sect and the Taihua Immortal Sect have ties with him.”

“I'm growing more curious about his identity. How can a Cultivator who just Ascended know so many people?”

The discussions grew louder, and the eyes of those looking at Chu Feng were filled with curiosity and scrutiny.

Immediately afterwards, Luo Qingyan, Vice Palace Master of the Hall of Serving Gods, also brought Yue Li over to Chu Feng.

Luo Qingyan looked at Chu Feng, a complex light flashing in her eyes.

“Chu Feng, my Disciple here is a bit impulsive. I must trouble you to look after her during this Secret Realm trip.”

Seeing everyone gathering together, and most of them being women with whom he had shared a fleeting romance.

Chu Feng was so embarrassed he wished he could find a hole to crawl into. He quickly nodded.

“Vice Hall Master Luo is too polite. I will.”

Yue Li stood beside Luo Qingyan, looking up at Chu Feng and pouting.

“Revered Master, he just Ascended, and his cultivation is only Celestial Immortal First Level. I don't need his care at all. Perhaps I'll be the one protecting him instead!”

Luo Qingyan glared at Yue Li, her tone carrying a hint of severity.

“Be respectful!”

Yue Li pouted. Although unconvinced, she still dared not defy her Revered Master's order, only muttering softly.

“I know.”

Venerable Xuanfa stood nearby, taking all of this in, and a strong sense of crisis gradually arose in his heart.

Goddess Qing Xuan of the Moonlight Immortal Sect was deeply affectionate towards him, Sect Master Yun Xi of the Taihua Immortal Sect had great trust in him, and even Vice Palace Master Luo Qingyan of the Hall of Serving Gods had an extraordinary relationship with him.

In contrast, Holy Maiden and Chu Feng seemed to have no relationship other than that of Dao Protector and protected.

If this continued, Holy Maiden might fall behind Qing Xuan, Hong Luan, and the others. At that time, Chu Feng might not sincerely protect her.

It seems I must find a way to bring Holy Maiden and Chu Feng closer.

Venerable Xuanfa secretly calculated in his heart, glancing solemnly at Holy Maiden.

Holy Maiden seemed to sense Venerable Xuanfa's gaze. Her cheeks flushed slightly, and she felt a little flustered.

She could feel the affection Qing Xuan, Hong Luan, and the others held for Chu Feng, and she could also tell that Chu Feng had an unusual relationship with them.

To be honest, she was also somewhat curious about what kind of person Chu Feng was, that he could make so many outstanding women regard him with such favor.

Just then, a voice suddenly came from the sky, exploding over the square like thunder.

“Fellow Daoists.”

As the voice fell, the square instantly became silent.

Everyone looked up and saw a middle-aged man descending upon golden auspicious clouds.

His face was imposing, a faint phantom of Dragon horns appeared on his forehead, and majestic Dragon Might enveloped his body.

The newcomer was the Yellow Dragon Venerable, who managed the True Dragon Secret Realm. He landed beside the Coiling Dragon Pillar in the center of the square, his gaze sweeping over the crowd.

“The True Dragon Secret Realm is opening this time, and a total of eighteen Sects have qualified to enter.

To ensure order within the Secret Realm, this trip requires groups of four, who can enter different teleportation arrays.

Different teleportation arrays will transport you to different locations within the Secret Realm. The destination is random, and life and death depend on fate.”

As soon as he finished speaking, eighteen massive teleportation arrays suddenly appeared in the square.

“Now, you may form your teams freely. The teleportation arrays will open punctually after the time it takes for one stick of incense to burn.”

Everyone looked at the teleportation arrays before them and began forming teams.

Chu Feng had promised Venerable Xuanfa to be Holy Maiden's Dao Protector, so he stood by Holy Maiden and Holy Maidens Junior Sister.

“I will be in your group.”

Holy Maiden nodded, a faint smile appearing on her face.

“Alright.”

However, their teleportation array still needed one more person to be full.

Just then, the gazes of Qing Xuan, Hong Luan, and Yue Li simultaneously locked onto this vacant spot.

Yue Li, being the most impatient, was the first to step forward, intending to walk toward Chu Feng's teleportation array.

But the moment she stepped out, Qing Xuan and Hong Luan also moved simultaneously.

Their speed was extremely fast, like two streams of light, instantly appearing in front of Chu Feng's teleportation array.

Qing Xuan slightly cupped her hands toward Holy Maiden, a gentle smile on her face.

“Saintess Yun, Chu Feng and I are old acquaintances. I wish to travel with you on this Secret Realm trip so we can look out for each other.”

Before Holy Maiden could answer, Hong Luan also stepped forward, cupping her hands in greeting toward Holy Maiden.

“Saintess Yun, it is most appropriate for me to travel with you.”

Qing Xuan and Hong Luan simultaneously vying for a single team slot—this scene stunned everyone in the square.

“I think they are clearly aiming for Chu Feng, not genuinely wanting to travel with Saintess Yun!”

“Goddess Qing Xuan and Fairy Hong Luan both want to be in a group with Chu Feng.”

“He is too popular! What charm does Chu Feng possess to be favored by two great Fairies?”

“Now we have a good show to watch. Who will Saintess Yun choose?”

Everyone's eyes were fixed on Holy Maiden, awaiting her decision.

Yue Li stood aside, looking at Qing Xuan and Hong Luan, puffed up with anger, and said with a pout.

“You two are going too far! I saw this spot first!”

Qing Xuan and Hong Luan completely ignored Yue Li. Their gazes clashed in the air, and an invisible scent of gunpowder filled the atmosphere.

They both knew that grouping with Chu Feng after entering the Secret Realm would not only secure his protection but also deepen their relationship. This spot was crucial to them.

Qing Xuan's tone carried a hint of imperceptible assertiveness.

“Fairy Hong Luan, Chu Feng and I met earlier, and our relationship is closer. This spot should rightly belong to me.”

Hong Luan's gaze was equally unyielding: “Chu Feng already promised my Revered Master to look after me. Grouping with him is the most suitable arrangement. You should look for someone else.”

“I don't agree!” Qing Xuan frowned slightly. “I must be in Chu Feng's group today.”

Hong Luan also refused to yield: “This spot is mine!”

Neither woman would give way, resulting in a standoff.

The crowd in the square was dumbfounded. No one had expected that Goddess Qing Xuan and Fairy Hong Luan would be so confrontational just to group with Chu Feng.

Venerable Xuanfa stood on the side, his sense of crisis intensifying.

He could tell the affection Qing Xuan and Hong Luan held for Chu Feng. If either of them grouped with Chu Feng, Holy Maiden's standing in Chu Feng's heart would likely become even more marginalized.

“What should I do now?”

Holy Maiden looked at the stalemated Qing Xuan and Hong Luan, feeling troubled.

“This—”

Holy Maiden opened her mouth, her voice slightly strained.

She was the Saintess of the Wanfa Sect. She had to consider the Sect's reputation, did not want to offend either the Moonlight Immortal Sect or the Taihua Immortal Sect, and certainly did not want Chu Feng to feel that she was favoring any side.

For a moment, she didn't know how to choose, subconsciously turning her gaze toward Chu Feng, her tone tinged with inquiry.

“Fellow Daoist Chu, what do you think?”

Chu Feng had anticipated this, but he put on a respectful and humble appearance, cupping his hands slightly, his eyes sincere.

“I am the Saintess's Dao Protector, so naturally, I follow all the Saintess's arrangements.”

He deliberately avoided the gazes of Qing Xuan and Hong Luan, acting as if he was just an irrelevant bystander, tossing this hot potato back to Holy Maiden.

Holy Maiden's mouth twitched slightly, and she muttered inwardly.

This Chu Feng certainly knows how to follow the flow!

She looked at the two Fairies with their auras fully unleashed, then at Chu Feng, who looked completely unconcerned, and felt a headache coming on.

Just as she was hesitating and about to speak up to mediate.

Qing Xuan's brow furrowed slightly, a hint of impatience flashing in her eyes, her tone carrying a touch of coolness.

“Fairy Hong Luan, everything has an order of arrival. I proposed teaming up with Holy Maiden Yun first, why must you interfere?”

Hong Luan raised her chin, unwilling to show weakness, her Phoenix eyes wide open.

“Teaming up in a Secret Realm depends on individual ability; how can there be an order of arrival?

Brother Chu Feng promised my Revered Master he would look after me, so naturally, he should team up with me.”

The four words “Brother Chu Feng” made Qing Xuan's expression even colder, and the Moon Hua power surrounding her became sharper.

“You need someone to look after you? Clearly, you just want to cling to him.”

“Aren't you the same?” Hong Luan sneered, “You're disregarding your dignity just to team up.”

Both of them grew increasingly angry, and the Immortal power surrounding them began to stir restlessly.

The surrounding onlookers couldn't help but marvel.

“Two Fairies competing for Chu Feng to team up with—this is truly unheard of.”

Just then, a golden figure quickly stepped forward. It was Ji Wuye.

He walked up beside Qing Xuan, his tone carrying a hint of flattery.

“Qing Xuan, why argue with her? Why not team up with me? My Ji Family's Alchemy skills are unmatched in the Immortal Realm. Inside the Secret Realm, I can provide you with the best Medicinal Pills, and I will protect you with my life.”

He believed he was completely devoted to Qing Xuan; as long as he spoke, Qing Xuan would surely be moved.

However, Qing Xuan merely glanced at him indifferently, her gaze like that reserved for an irrelevant stranger, before refocusing her attention on Chu Feng.

“I only want to be with him.”

Boom!

This sentence was like a clap of thunder, instantly draining the color from Ji Wuye's face.

He stood rooted to the spot, his outstretched hand frozen in mid-air. The flattery on his face instantly turned to embarrassment, making him look like a buffoon.

The surrounding suppressed snickers made him feel even more mortified.

Ji Wuye abruptly turned his head to look at Chu Feng, his eyes blazing with fury, and he roared through gritted teeth.

“Since Qing Xuan chose you, that is an immense blessing! Why are you hesitating instead of accepting immediately?”

He vented all his resentment onto Chu Feng, believing that Chu Feng's lack of appreciation was the reason for his humiliation.

However, before Chu Feng could speak, Qing Xuan and Hong Luan furiously shouted in unison.

“You don't get a say here!”

Two icy voices rang out simultaneously, crushing down heavily upon Ji Wuye.

Ji Wuye trembled all over, stumbling back a few steps.

“Qing Xuan, I was trying to help you!”

Qing Xuan looked at him coldly, her tone carrying a hint of mockery.

“What I want, I can fight for myself; I don't need charity from others.”

Hearing this, Hong Luan, who was nearby, seized the Opportunity to mock him as well.

“Saint Ji is truly devoted to you. I think you should team up with him, saving you the trouble of competing with me.”

“Stop trying to sow discord here!” Qing Xuan glared at Hong Luan. “Instead of making things difficult for others, why don't one of us voluntarily withdraw?”

Hong Luan raised an eyebrow, her tone carrying a hint of provocation.

“Are you suggesting you want to withdraw voluntarily?”

“Dream on.” Qing Xuan's gaze sharpened, and she said coldly, “Since neither of us is willing to back down, then let's have a match. Whoever loses automatically withdraws. Only the strong are worthy of standing beside him.”

Hong Luan nodded heavily, “That suits me perfectly!”

“They are actually going to duel for Chu Feng?”

“All for one man, the two Fairies are going to fight to the death?”

“What virtue and ability does Chu Feng possess to make two Fairies so devoted?”

The discussions on the square instantly boiled over. Even the Sect Masters of the major Sects watched the scene with great interest.

Yun Xi looked at Hong Luan, a complex emotion flashing in her eyes.

Luo Qingyan stood with her arms crossed, watching coldly, her heart filled with helplessness toward her own Disciple.

Other people's Disciples at least know how to compete, but the useless one beside her just stood there foolishly.

Qing Xuan and Hong Luan leaped up simultaneously, flying high into the center of the square, standing opposite each other.

The Immortal power around both of them surged dramatically, and the pressure of the first layer of Profound Immortal swept out like a tsunami.

The onlookers below quickly retreated, their faces showing signs of shock.

“Goddess Qing Xuan has actually broken through to the Profound Immortal Stage!”

“Fairy Hong Luan is also at the first layer of Profound Immortal. I remember she was still at the True Immortal Stage three months ago.”

“Both of them are at the same Realm. Now we have a good show to watch.”

Qing Xuan felt the Profound Immortal pressure emanating from Hong Luan, and a hint of surprise flashed in her eyes.

She hadn't expected the other party to have broken through to the first layer of Profound Immortal in just three months.

As if realizing something, her peripheral vision glanced at Chu Feng.

No wonder Hong Luan insisted on being with Chu Feng; it seemed she had also tasted the benefits from him.

Thinking of this, she took a deep breath, and the Moon Hua power surrounding her began to gather frantically.

“My Heart is the Moon!”

As her voice fell, a gigantic Bright Moon suddenly appeared in the sky. The moonlight was pure and radiated a gentle yet vast Moon Hua power.

This Bright Moon was not a real moon, but a manifestation of Qing Xuan's spiritual will, clear and pure, reflecting the trajectory of all Laws in the Major Thousand Worlds.

The Moon Hua cascaded down from the Bright Moon like a waterfall, enveloping Qing Xuan, bathing her entirely in holy moonlight, making her resemble a Deity beneath the moon.

“This is the ultimate Realm of the Moon Hua Holy Heart Sutra!”

“The spiritual will manifesting as the Bright Moon, reflecting the Laws of Heaven and Earth—this is already the Realm of Unity of Man and Law.”

“What powerful Qi! She has probably reached the Peak of the first layer of Profound Immortal!”

Looking at that Bright Moon, the crowd couldn't help but gasp.

Qing Xuan pushed her hands forward, and the Moon Hua waterfall surrounding her instantly condensed into a massive silver light pillar, fiercely slamming toward Hong Luan.

Wherever the light pillar passed, space was torn open with tiny cracks, the Immortal Qi in the air was instantly sucked away, leaving only pure Moon Hua power.

Hong Luan looked at the approaching silver light pillar, showing no fear on her face; instead, a hint of fanaticism flashed in her eyes.

She formed hand seals, and the Immortal power around her instantly transformed into fiercely burning flames. From within the flames, the faint cries of a Luan Bird could be heard.

“Phoenix Dance of the Nine Heavens!”

A giant Fire Luan appeared in the sky, radiating an aura capable of burning the heavens and destroying the earth.

The Fire Luan let out a sharp cry and swooped toward the silver light pillar. As its wings flapped, countless streams of flame Sword Qi burst forth from its body, shooting toward the light pillar like a meteor shower.

The silver light pillar and the Fire Luan collided, producing a deafening roar.

The surrounding temperature fluctuated wildly between hot and cold, the space violently shook, and countless tiny cracks continuously expanded.

Boom—

The energy vortex exploded with a crash, and massive air currents spread outwards, kicking up dust from the square below.

The Sect Masters of the various Sects all acted, setting up defensive barriers to block this violent energy.

When the smoke and dust cleared, Qing Xuan and Hong Luan still stood opposite each other in the sky. Their auras were slightly unstable, but the Battle Intent in their eyes grew even stronger.

In the previous attack, both achieved an equal result; neither gained an advantage.

“Again!”

Qing Xuan gave a soft shout and once again activated the Moon Hua power. The Bright Moon in the sky became even brighter, and the Moon Hua power gathered like a tide, forming countless silver sharp blades that shot toward Hong Luan.

“I'll see this through!”

Hong Luan was not to be outdone. The Fire Luan cried out again, and the flames became even more intense, forming a massive wall of fire that blocked the silver blades. Then, the Fire Luan swooped down, fiercely crashing toward Qing Xuan.

The two exchanged blows in the air, fighting fiercely in a deadlock.

Every collision triggered massive phenomena, spatial tremors, and violent Immortal Qi, leaving the people below terrified.

“Too strong! The two are equally matched. If they continue fighting like this, they will likely both suffer serious injuries!”

“They are fighting so desperately just to team up with Chu Feng!”

“I don't think either of them can win. They should just stop now.”

Qing Xuan was also feeling anxious. She knew that a prolonged stalemate would benefit neither of them and would instead consume a large amount of Immortal power, affecting their condition after entering the Secret Realm.

But the thought of being able to team up with Chu Feng and stay by his side to protect him made her grit her teeth, a hint of determination flashing in her eyes.

She abruptly closed her eyes, and the Moon Hua power surrounding her instantly turned violent.

Immediately afterward, a trace of blood spilled from the corner of her mouth, and her face turned pale.

“Moon Hua Burning Heart Curse!”

The Bright Moon in the sky instantly turned blood-red, radiating an ominous aura.

The blood-red Moon Hua cascaded down like a waterfall, enveloping Qing Xuan and forming a massive blood-colored light pillar.

“Forbidden Art! Goddess Qing Xuan actually used a Forbidden Art!”

“Burning her Vital Essence to activate the Forbidden Art—she is bound to suffer backlash.”

“She went to such lengths just to team up with Chu Feng!”

“Even if she wins this way, her condition will severely decline after entering the Secret Realm.”

The people below were completely stunned. Ji Wuye looked at Qing Xuan, his eyes full of distress. He stared intensely at Chu Feng, the hatred in his heart growing stronger.

“Chu Feng, it's all because of you that Qing Xuan became like this! I swear I will kill you!”

Hong Luan looked at the blood-red light pillar, and a sense of crisis finally arose in her heart.

She quickly mobilized all her Immortal power. The Fire Luan expanded again and charged toward the blood-colored light pillar.

However, this time, the Fire Luan appeared incredibly fragile before the blood-colored light pillar.

Bang!

The Fire Luan was instantly devoured by the blood-colored light pillar, and its flames immediately extinguished.

The blood-colored light pillar continued its momentum, fiercely striking Hong Luan.

Hong Luan was completely unable to dodge and was squarely hit by the blood-colored light pillar.

Her body flew backward like a kite with a broken string. She spat out blood, her Immortal robe was tattered, and her aura instantly became weak. She was clearly severely injured.

In the sky, Qing Xuan's body also lost its support and began to fall from the air.

Her face was pale as paper, her breathing weak, and she was covered in blood. She had clearly entered a state of exhaustion.

Seeing this, Chu Feng, who had been standing in front of the Teleportation Array, felt his heart clench. He didn't hesitate to fly up, extend his arms, and steadily catch her into his embrace.

Qing Xuan's body was very light and soft, but currently exceptionally cold.

He looked down at the pale Qing Xuan in his arms, his tone carrying a hint of reproach, but mostly concern.

“It's just a spot in a team. Was it worth doing this?”

Qing Xuan slowly opened her eyes and looked at Chu Feng weakly.

“It was worth it. I want to protect you. I want to stay by your side...”

Chu Feng said no more. Holding Qing Xuan, he turned and walked toward the Teleportation Array.

Hong Luan slumped onto the ground, watching Chu Feng carry Qing Xuan into the Teleportation Array. She tightly clenched her fists, her face filled with unwillingness and disappointment.

She had lost, completely and utterly.

Ji Wuye stood in the crowd, watching the intimate sight of Chu Feng and Qing Xuan, his eyes bloodshot.

Chu Feng, I must kill you!

Qing Xuan belongs to him! No one can take her away!
