"You!"
The swirling winds could not banish the mockery and frozen expression on Qing Yu's face.
Meet the Purple Demon Venerable of Kui Jing City?
Not to mention how foolish, naive, and unrealistic this seemed to him! Just speaking of the vast chasm in strength comparable to a galaxy...
Primordial Core True Lord Realm exists, does this kid realize what kind of invincible concept that peerless existence embodies!?
"Hmph!" At that thought, Qing Yu couldn't help but snort coldly once more, furrowing his brows and staring icily at Chen Fei. Yet Chen Fei's eyes, with their calmness and slight crimson hue, made Qing Yu's heart tremble subconsciously.
This feeling, the aura and stance the other conveyed now, seemed serious? It wasn't the blind ignorance of overconfidence, but rather an outward determination and confidence that even he could perceive.
"Damn it, a madman!" Qing Yu suddenly cursed under his breath, scowling hard as he looked at Chen Fei's calm face.
"I tell you, no matter your backing or confidence, it's impossible to reach the heights of the Purple Demon Venerable, such a supreme being, unattainable by ants like us. So, I warn you, if you die it doesn't matter, but if you drag us down, drag Cang Kun down, I will make you pay! You will regret it..."
Qing Yu's gaze was somewhat fierce as he looked at Chen Fei, speaking.
Hearing this, Chen Fei smirked slightly dismissively and said, "No need for Qing Yu's concern. However, if you live to see that day, perhaps you'll change your view of me."
"Change? I find that unlikely now! You arrogant guy, hmph!" Qing Yu's face twitched, unwilling to waste further words, angrily flinging his sleeves and leaving.
Though their Demon Clan is known for their longevity, three to five times longer than human cultivators of the same rank! Could Qing Yu really live until the day Chen Fei could challenge the Purple Demon Venerable? Haha, he likely won't live to see that day!
Arrogant, hmph!
Watching Qing Yu's departing figure, Chen Fei felt somewhat stifled, wanting to snort coldly as well, his hands clenching instinctively! But in the end, he suddenly shook his head and smiled, deciding there was no need to engage in such petty conflicts.
After all, strictly speaking, the other party wasn't wrong... For them now, the Primordial Core True Lord Realm indeed feels far too distant! Too high to reach.
So it's normal for others to doubt him, perhaps even thinking he's boasting empty words. Everything needs a factual foundation to be convincing.
Just then, perhaps noticing Qing Yu's departure, Cang Kun walked in with a complex expression, looking at Chen Fei, he couldn't help asking, "Master, could you tell me what you discussed?"
"You want to know?" Chen Fei glanced at him.
Cang Kun didn't speak but nodded once. His expression seemed solemn and serious.
If it was truly as he imagined in his heart, Uncle Qing Yu and Chen Fei talked about those things, then he also felt a small expectation and painful struggle inside.
The struggle was that the enemy was truly terrifying! Overlooking everything, causing him, even the Black Wind Gorge, to lose the slightest thought of revenge.
While the expectation arose from the shock and amazement Chen Fei brought him over the years. Perhaps there really was a slight possibility!?
Inside Cang Kun, it felt like two massive clouds were colliding, but once calm, he directly shook his head and smiled with a somewhat bleak expression. Sometimes, hope is nice, but rather unrealistic.
Such a formidable existence, even an improper thought could be deemed as impertinent audacity, truly oblivious to reality...
"Worried I'd clash with your uncle? Relax, I'm not that impulsive, nor is Qing Yu." Chen Fei chuckled, saying.
Seeing Chen Fei evasive, Cang Kun's eyes flickered, suddenly feeling apologetic, bowing towards Chen Fei, saying, "Sorry."
Cang Kun's sudden action naturally stunned Chen Fei. After a moment, he shook his head helplessly, patting Cang Kun's shoulder, and said, "I've gathered some details about your situation, but I can't make any promises yet..."
"No, Master, that's not what I meant. You've misunderstood..." Cang Kun changed his expression, hastily replied.
But Chen Fei directly waved his hand, interrupting him. Laughing, he said, "Although I can't give you any solid promises now, if you keep persisting diligently, the future might look different."
"Moreover, strictly speaking, this is your task, so if you can avenge your grandfather yourself, perhaps it would be more meaningful, don't you think?" Chen Fei squinted his eyes and smiled.
"Me?" Cang Kun's expression suddenly changed, turning stiff, and his lips trembled, "Me? How can that be possible!?"
"Why not? Don't forget, I'm an Alchemist!" Chen Fei retorted, his mouth breaking into a smile and saying, "Anyone foolish enough to oppose an Alchemist is ignorant! This statement may not be precise, but don't underestimate an Alchemist's abilities, understand?"
Cang Kun remained silent for a while, then slowly raised his head, noticing the calm yet determined gaze of Chen Fei, his eyes trembled, and suddenly a gleam of excitement flashed.
"I understand, Master, rest assured, I won't disappoint you." Cang Kun seemed to gain a firm courage, instantly giving off a different aura. Inside him a mysterious torrent appeared, and slight electric currents emerged on his body, like slithering silver snakes.
"What's this?" Chen Fei's eyes subtly widened, noticing a peculiar glint then passed through.
"I don't know either. But ever since I broke through to a Third-Level Demonic Beast, this situation occasionally arises. And I can't control it." Cang Kun also shook his head in unfamiliarity, saying.
"Is that so?" Chen Fei murmured, falling silent, though his gaze filled with rapid contemplation. This indeed seemed strange.
"This might be... Bloodline Awakening?"
An uncertain, hesitant voice echoed inside the sea of consciousness, it was Zhen Jingkong with furrowed brows.
He hadn't seen such a situation, yet seemed to have heard of it!?
"Bloodline Awakening?" Chen Fei paused, then raised his hand to tap his forehead, a gleaming shine subsequently flitted from his eyes.
"Ah, how could I forget this?"
To manifest such phenomena externally, clearly issues with the bloodline?
But thinking further, it didn't feel strange as Cang Kun's grandfather was formidable back then, leaving something in the bloodline wouldn't be shocking.
After all, looking at bloodline inheritance, Demon Clan is significantly easier than humans. At least a hundredfold difference.
"Master, what's with this?" Cang Kun looked at the scene with curious disbelief.
"No worries." Chen Fei shook his head, eyes glinting, smiling, "Alright, after such lengthy travel, let's take a break."
Despite bloodline awakening being a good thing, he didn't plan to tell Cang Kun. Firstly, as the timing isn't ripe yet. Secondly, letting things progress naturally is preferable to forcing growth.
Meanwhile, deep within Black Wind Gorge, a similar atmosphere brewed. The air filled with a tense ambiance.
