Chapter 479: No Such Obligation
A moment later, Chu Feng followed Ding Ku's leader to the grand reception hall.
Just as he entered the hall, Chu Feng immediately sensed several extremely fierce gazes sweeping over him. These individuals were all terrifyingly skilled masters.
The Outer Elder Fu Xiao, whom he had met once before, was also present.
Elder Fu's strength and status were not low. However, at this moment, he was carefully accompanying a young woman who was cold and proud.
This woman appeared to be only about twenty-five or twenty-six years old. She wore a Daoist robe that tightly covered her impressive figure, barely revealing a glimpse, compelling one to involuntarily imagine her beauty.
Though young, the dominance and pride emanating from her eyes were lofty, like an empress.
Chu Feng instinctively felt repulsion towards such people who thought themselves superior, regardless of gender.
Given that an Outer Elder was accompanying her, the young woman's identity must be extraordinary.
"Report to Elder Fu, and Fairy Guan Sui, the person you have been looking for has been brought here! This is Chu Feng from Dan State!"
Ding Ku grabbed Chu Feng and pushed him forward.
"This Fairy has been waiting for you for over an hour! Follow me immediately!" Fairy Guan Sui stood up abruptly, scanning Chu Feng with a disdainful look reserved for the common masses.
In her eyes, Chu Feng was probably no more than a crawling insect.
"Miss, may I know what this is about? If you don't explain clearly, I won't go with you!" Joking aside, Chu Feng had only just managed to escape from the pursuit of Panlong Heavenly Emperor and took refuge within the Ten Thousand Sword Sect.
What if he fell into enemy traps by leaving with this young lady?
What if Fairy Guan Sui was sent by the Panlong Heavenly Emperor? Chu Feng might not even know how he would die.
Furthermore, although the lady has a fine appearance, Chu Feng, having faced many trials and seen countless beauties,
remained unmoved.
"Let me introduce myself. My name is Xiong Guansui, one of the eight true inheritors of the Extreme Cold Cave. I have traveled thousands of miles to find you, to ask you to save my mother!"
"Come! With my status as a Fairy, as long as you can truly heal my mother, any reward I give you will bring you endless benefits."
Fairy Guan Sui spoke with a strong sense of superiority.
She really considered herself a fairy above the nine heavens. And in her eyes, Chu Feng was just a downtrodden young man.
All his past achievements seemed insignificant to her.
"No matter who you are, I can tell you now, I will not go with you, nor will I save your mother!" Chu Feng coldly refused again.
Upon hearing Fairy Guan Sui's introduction, he remembered encountering the Xiong family's trade convoy when he fled to the Divine Martial Continent.
Could it be such a coincidence?
It seemed that the Xiong family had a young miss, a devilishly talented in Sword Dao, who was taken in by one of the Ancient Four Real, the Extreme Cold Cave.
"Why won't you save my mother?" Xiong Guansui's face turned much colder, faintly revealing some killing intent.
"I have no obligation!" Chu Feng replied straightforwardly.
Indeed, he really had no such obligation.
"You… bastard!" Xiong Guansui, being the Heavenly Pride, was adored and pursued by countless people wherever she went.
She had traveled thousands of miles this time to bring Chu Feng back to heal her mother. To her, this was giving Chu Feng great honor and a significant favor.
Yet Chu Feng unyieldingly refused.
Even when she declared her prestigious identity, Chu Feng remained indifferent, as if the identity of one of the eight inheritors of the Extreme Cold Cave was trivial, something picked up off the street.
"If there's nothing else, I'll take my leave! I need to go back to planting medicinal herbs!"
Chu Feng finished speaking and gave Elder Fu a salute, as a form of greeting.
To be so arrogant in front of an Outer Elder, such Outer Disciples are indeed rare. Throughout the entire Ten Thousand Sword Sect, probably only a few could be found.
Yet, Elder Fu showed no temper at all, as if he thought Chu Feng's arrogance was only natural.
Others might not know Chu Feng's capabilities, but Elder Fu had some idea.
Having nearly passed the Third Level of the Qiankun Sword Formation, and only just falling short, while still so young and possessing the Nine Yang Sword Veins. Such a Heavenly Pride, if not for being suppressed by the Jia Zhenjing, would definitely enter the Inner Sect with ease.
And he would receive attention from the higher-ups.
"You, stop right there! Stop!"
Xiong Guansui was so angry that she trembled, her pretty face frosty. Without any visible preparation, her figure flashed and she appeared in front of Chu Feng, blocking his way.
"Hmm?"
When Xiong Guansui came close, Chu Feng couldn't help but feel a shock, as his Nine Veins involuntarily stirred, becoming extremely excited.
It was somewhat like a bull in heat seeing a cow.
Besides the faint fragrance drifting from Xiong Guansui, there was also a piercingly cold and Freezing Yin aura emitting from her body. Especially when she was angry, it seemed as if the area within several meters around her would freeze over.
"Could it be… this woman possesses the Nine Yin Sword Vein?"
Chu Feng looked at her with a face full of surprise and suspicion.
It is said that the Nine Yang Sword Veins and Nine Yin Sword Veins are extreme Yang and extreme Yin respectively, naturally like the phoenix and dragon.
If these two, being of different sexes, could eventually come together for cultivation, their strength could increase by tenfold, a hundredfold. Any barrier could easily be broken through.
However, throughout the eons, there has been only one example in ancient texts where a man and woman, both possessing Nine Yang and Nine Yin Sword Veins respectively, coupled together.
It is said that those young man and woman, barely under a hundred years old, both broke through to a realm above Nine-star Sword God.
After reigning unchallenged for a while between heaven and earth, there was no further news of them.
Some say they ascended to a higher realm of cultivation, others say they grew tired of the worldly dust and chose seclusion.
Opinions vary.
One thing is for sure, they were invincible in this world before they disappeared. Be it Ancient Sect powers or the Heavenly Country, to them, all were mere ants.
As Chu Feng looked at Xiong Guansui in astonishment, she also had a hint of shock.
However, she had already known that Chu Feng was of the Nine Yang Sword Veins, so she was somewhat mentally prepared.
Seeing Chu Feng not taking his eyes off her, she suddenly felt embarrassed and annoyed.
"Rascal, dare to stare any longer and I'll gouge out your eyes!"
With those words, two fist-sized stones in front of Chu Feng suddenly developed holes, "puff puff".
"Shadowless and formless?"
Chu Feng had long heard that the Nine Yin Sword Vein could cultivate the sword light to a shadowless and formless realm. This was far superior to Han Dong's Shadowless Sword Technique.
Chu Feng also felt the strength of Xiong Guansui.
She was at least at the Three-star Sword God Realm or above, terrifying to the extreme.
"Chu Feng, are you going or not?" Xiong Guansui stared at Chu Feng with a chilling killing intent.
"Not going!"
Chu Feng faced her with a fearless expression.
In a staring contest between a man and a woman, the one at a disadvantage is always the woman. Because women have thinner skin.
