Chapter 431: Return to Earth

A silhouette approached from the distance. He was completely silent, and he appeared to be regretful, disappointed, and frustrated.

Yang Xuan's eyes immediately lit up. After only a half day's effort, he was able to see the aboriginal boy again, and his mood felt lifted instantly after seeing the latter's look as if he had just eaten a dead baby.

Currently, he was elated after seeing Chu Feng acknowledge defeat. This aboriginal youth was really pissing him off.

In fact, it was so bad that in order to keep him out of sight and mind, he ran off to the moon as both a distraction and to find some opportunities. However, he hadn't anticipated that no matter where he went, he would see this brat. It was really making him dizzy!

"Haha…" Yang Xuan laughed. He felt comfortable like he was admiring snowflakes in the dead of summer. A refreshing, cool air emanated from his pores.

Chu Feng was about to leave the moon. He was still reviewing the experience in his head. It made him feel quite dispirited as he thought back to the cavalry traversing the starry sky and hunting down women and children, the elderly and the weak.

It was especially disturbing when he heard the last sentimental words of the energy pagoda—defeat, emergence, dying out, recovery… one day, they would return!

All this made him feel disappointed, frustrated, and bitter. A planet with a highly developed evolutionary civilization was eliminated just like that, and so many astounding people were lost to history.

Chu Feng raised his head and looked ahead.

"Laugh your sister!"

An abrupt voice interrupted Yang Xuan's carefree frame of mind, and his stifled laughter made his face go red. That little sh*t…

Hu Qingcheng had also been lightly chuckling, the sound of her laughter just a tad bit sweet. Seeing that little thief Chu Feng this distressed brought her great pleasure.

However, after being called out, her face went even darker than Yang Xuan's. This little thief was truly repulsive!

"You flaunt yourself as a genius in the field, but it looks like you'll be crushed here. How's that?" Yang Xuan taunted. He had just been choked up by Chu Feng, and now that he had the chance to strike, he wouldn't pass it up.

He started to laugh and said, "I've heard that previously, people who came here stayed for entire months before finally emerging. The reward for passing two trials successfully is quite great."

Chu Feng was stunned. Two months to complete two trials? But he had completed them so fast! Even if the second phase in which he had killed the armored horseman was dangerous and even life-threatening, it hadn't been too time-consuming.

What was more, he had completed it with over-fulfillment. It wasn't just a normal trial—no, for him, it was too low-leveled!

"So, how would you like to be struck down?" Yang Xuan cast a sideways glance, the expression on his face saying "you're not good enough".

"Oh, according to the record on this animal skin scroll, an amazing heavenly wizard once stayed here for an entire year," Hu Qingcheng raised the ancient scroll in her hand and exclaimed in admiration, "legend says that in less than two hundred years, he became a superior master of domains. Just his name alone could shake an entire star."

Chu Feng had a bewildered expression on his face. An entire year…

Hu Qingcheng laughed upon seeing Chu Feng's expression. "There's no shortage of evildoers in this world. Life is unjust like that, so don't be too disheartened."

Looking at her enchanting smile, it was clear that she wanted to see what Chu Feng looked like beaten down.

"I don't feel like wasting my time talking with you. My talent is without peer, and my abilities are able to shock myriad ancients. I'm an existence destined to surpass the sagemaster. You two just don't understand!" Chu Feng had a profound look on his face.

Yang Xuan and Hu Qingcheng gasped in surprise. This brat could really put on a show! He was obviously beaten inside and had been kicked out in only half a day, yet he was still playing dumb!

This was especially true when Chu Feng emphasized once more, "If you don't understand, then you don't understand."

The corners of their mouths twitched, and they wanted nothing more than to slap him. No matter how one looked at it, they were at the level of heirs in their respective races. They could turn their nose up at their peers whether on their own planets or within the star field's advanced evolutionary educational establishments, and yet here they were, being looked down upon by a little native!

Qing Lan coughed and stated, "I feel that Brother Chu Feng might really have gained some benefits. Let's just head back."

He wasn't trying to settle the dispute—e simply wanted to see Chu Feng return to earth and continue to swindle. He was certainly willing to watch Yang Xuan and Hu Qingcheng angrily stomp about.

In a calm and collected voice, Chu Feng said, "Brother and sister-in-law, do you have anything more to say? Do you have anything you want me to bring for Shan Shan and Ruo Xian?

"Get out of my sight!" Yang Xuan was positively furious.

"What's the hurry? I still have one last question. Do you know of the heavenly cavalry?" Chu Feng inquired about the executioners of old who were responsible for the murder of the refugees.

He wanted to try and see where these three people's interests lied.

"Heavenly Cavalry? It sounds familiar." Qing Lan frowned.

Yang Xuan's curiosity was also piqued, leading him to say, "I think I've heard of it. They were an ancient group, few of them could have survived to this day, and if they did, they would only be found in the depths of the cosmos."

"I'm leaving to go surpass the sagemaster. Brother-in-law, sister-in-law, bronze man, goodbye!"

Chu Feng turned and walked away. He followed his original path and stepped onto a simple black and white magnetic platform, preparing to open up the wormhole.

Bronze Man? Qing Lan, who was wearing a suit of bronze combat gear, rubbed his nose.

"Hehe, how can someone who got kicked out of the moon in just half a day have the gall to say he's going to surpass the sagemaster!" shouted Yang Xuan. He wanted to provoke Chu Feng, but it was no use. With a slight smile and a wave of his hand, Chu Feng had entered the wormhole.

"Little thief!" Hu Qingcheng shouted. Although arguing at this time was pointless, there was nothing more they could do.

In the end, Chu Feng was glad that they doubted him and didn't believe that he had gained anything back there. If he had let everyone know, it could create problems down the road.

He was able to return to the overgrown island without a hitch. As always, it was covered in a dense fog. With his current insight, naturally, he was able to see through the methods utilized here.

He started searching the area for all kinds of magnetic crystals. He had already brought quite a few back from the moon, but seeing as they would be quickly consumed, the more he had for his field research, the better.

"Back so soon?"

At the seafloor Dragon City, the Dragoness was quite startled to see that Chu Feng had returned so quickly. With a dumbstruck look on her face, she wondered, had he really gone to the Moon?

"I gained much from my trip, but there were too many eccentrics up there, so I hurried back as quick as I could." Chu Feng didn't dare say more than this because the stakes were much too high!

The enemy of the sagemaster was absolutely without a peer, like a demonic overlord, or a golden Bodhisattva. He thought back to the white tiger demonic sage under the laurel tree and sighed.

At this time, Yang Xuan, Hu Qingcheng, and Qing Lan all left the moon and returned to space. They hadn't gained anything from their time on the Moon.

Suddenly, Yang Xuan, who was pleasantly surprised, said, "Hey, the interstellar network has finally extended out here. Now we can contact the external galaxies."

His war chariot was floating in space and emitting light. There were some fluctuations, and the golden heavenly stallion was shaking its head and waving its tail. It seemed fairly unsettled.

Qing Lan was also surprised. His spirit-bear-drawn chariot also fluctuated as it connected to the interstellar network.

Utilizing their dao fruit crystallizations, they gazed into the distance, and finally, in a remote zone, they saw thousands of vines appear in the wormhole. They were enormous. One of the bulky main branches was pointed towards their solar system and emitting an indescribable ripple.

They all sighed in appreciation.

"With the interstellar network, this cosmic wasteland can finally be joined with the outside world."

They pulled out special communication devices and started to contact others.

In fact, many people had been constantly contacting them as well.

"Yang Xuan, how was that planet? Is it promising? Can people of our level go in?"

Yang Xuan responded instantly, telling his friend that as of right now, there was still no way to descend.

"Yang Xuan, how about you let me be your brother-in-law. I want to marry your clan sister, the saintess. It was love at first sight!" This was another person's message.

"Get lost! You old cow, stop preying on young grass!" Yang Xuan was infuriated as he continued speaking, "Oh right, there's this native swindler, a real pain in the ass. He has designs on Yang Shan! Your younger brother and sister haven't started their journey, right? Hurry, have your sister set off. She can use her beauty to honey-trap that native Chu Feng and capture him for me!"

"What? An aboriginal also wants to compete for your sister's hand? He's dead! Just you wait, I'll make him pay the consequences for this! However, that star passage isn't easy to traverse. I'd need at least a year to dispatch my men!"

"Qiu Ji, I'm warning you, if you keep eyeing my sister, when I get back, I'll find someone to cut you into pieces!" said Yang Xuan fiercely.

If anyone from the outer realm knew that this group of heirs was this bold and unrestrained in private, they would certainly be dumbstruck.

"Fairy Hu, my biggest client is auctioning off a one hundred percent pureblood young quasi-divine beast right now, are you interested? I could pick you up to come and take a look?"

"Fairy Qingcheng, I got a countenance preserving medicine here and I'd like to send it to you."

...

When Yang Xuan and Qing Lan stole a peek at Hu Qingcheng's numerous messages, they couldn't help but let out a sigh. With this many pursuers, she had really proven herself to be a big enchantress.

"I've been punished to walk the wastelands and patrol the stars around a planet called Earth, I can't return right now. However, I do have a favor to ask. My younger sister Hu Ruoxian has become entangled by an aboriginal on this planet named Chu Feng, and she can't break free. Is there anything you can do to help?"

"What's that? He dares pursue Ruoxian? Even I haven't... heh, heh, I misspoke. I'll think of a way to sort this out!"

"He must have a death wish. How can he dare to pester Ruoxian? I'll tear off his skin even if it's the last thing I do!"

...

After Hu Qingcheng saw their responses, she was so angry that she wanted to toss the communication device in her hand. Those perverts!

"I want him alive, you need to capture him alive!" Hu Qingcheng warned.

"Don't worry, I'll send someone to alert my younger brother, the Saint Bai Yu, to get him right away. I guarantee we'll suppress him!"

"Qingcheng, relax. My younger sister, the fairy Liu Yun, is also on that planet. If he can't be defeated, then I'll have her go seduce him. I promise we'll capture that native alive!"

Hu Qingcheng let out a cold laugh upon hearing these words and said, "You all throw your brothers and sisters under the bus. You'll all be in tears in the end!"

Off to the side, Yang Xuan and Qing Lan were stupefied, and it took them a while to respond.

"Just what kind of people did you look for?"

"They're all princes, dukes, and nobles from their respective planets, a bunch of high-ranking heirs," said Hu Qingcheng in a calm and collected voice.

It could be seen that even though Chu Feng had yet to leave Earth, he had already made a bit of a name for himself in the far reaches of the galaxy.

"Do you think we could integrate Earth into the interstellar network and then introduce that aboriginal brat to a virtual fighting platform where we could beat him down!?"

"That doesn't exactly sound easy!"

Yang Xuan, Qing Lan, and Hu Qingcheng were discussing among themselves.

Once they were finished with their business, they focused their attention on Earth.

"Where did that brat go?" They looked down at the surface. The first matter was searching for Chu Feng. Even though just speaking of him or looking at him made their blood boil, they couldn't help it. This guy was a landmine—who knew when he would blow up?

"Sh*t!" Yang Xuan cursed. Originally, he hadn't found Chu Feng and was just checking up on his younger sister, but then... he just happened to see Chu Feng run off to Mount Yandang with his keepsake dagger in hand.

Yang Xuan stomped about angrily, wanting nothing more than to kill that brat. This was despicable!

Finally, he discovered that Chu Feng had obtained an extraordinary piece of silver armor from his sister.

"That used to be my armor!" When Yang Xuan saw this scene, his face went dark and dark smoke came out of his nostrils.

Next, they were stunned as Chu Feng traveled thousands of kilometers and ran directly to Mount Hua. Here, with Hu Qingcheng's broken hairpin in hand, he went to visit Hu Ruoxian.

"That disgraceful thief!" Hu Qingcheng was seething with anger. She was normally shy and charming, but now she had a face full of fire and fury!

Finally, Chu Feng obtained a monastic robe from Hu Ruoxian. It was a sparkling scarlet red and inlaid with gold threads. One could tell with just a glance that it was no ordinary item.

"My mother painstakingly swindled this from a Buddhist expert, and now it's unexpectedly... with this little thief!" Hu Qingcheng was gnashing her teeth in anger. This normally lovable and charming enchantress was so furious she almost spat out blood.

With these two treasures in hand, Chu Feng was satisfied. Swaying and wobbling, he walked out of Mount Hua, not forgetting to extend a fingertip up to the sky in a sort of gesture.

This action made the pair in outer space feel desperate to descend immediately and swoop down to the surface. This thief had intentionally made an undisguised provocation. He must have known that they were watching.

"I've come back from studying the domains, and I'll start my rise to power here on Earth!" Chu Feng vowed to himself.
