I, a spoiled young master, conquered the Crown Princess right from the start!

Su Mei felt as if the hand on her neck was a pair of iron clamps, slowly tightening, and the shadow of death had never loomed over her so clearly.

Her cheeks flushed red, her breathing became incredibly difficult, and she used all her strength to squeeze out broken, intermittent sounds from her throat.

"The Heavenly Sword Sect... was wiped out... not because its strength threatened the Holy Heaven Sect..." She spoke rapidly, as if afraid that if she hesitated even for a moment, that hand would mercilessly crush her throat, "but because... the Heavenly Sword Sect was guarding a tremendous secret! A secret... that would allow the Holy Heaven Sect to truly stand at the pinnacle of all realms!"

Chu Feng's eyes narrowed, and the fingers gripping her neck loosened their pressure slightly.

"What secret?" His voice was devoid of any warmth, like a block of ancient ice.

Su Mei took a deep breath, not daring to hide anything, and hurriedly said, "Within the Heavenly Sword Sect, there is a secluded secret realm called the 'Sword Tomb'! Legend has it that at the deepest part of the Sword Tomb lies an ancient divine sword—the Heaven-Slaying Sword!"

"The Heaven-Slaying Sword?"

"Yes!" Su Mei, seeing the change in Chu Feng's expression, knew she had made the right bet. "That...that's an Emperor-level weapon! It's the natal Emperor-level weapon of a Sword Dao Emperor from ancient times!"

"It not only possesses the supreme power to cleave stars and shatter the universe, but more importantly, it contains the complete legacy of that Sword Emperor!"

Sword Dao Emperor! Natal Imperial Weapon!

These words, like thunderclaps, exploded in Chu Feng's heart.

He finally understood why the Holy Heaven Sect was willing to go to any lengths to destroy the Heavenly Sword Sect. The legacy of a Great Emperor was enough to drive any immortal holy land mad.

"The founder of the Holy Heaven Sect once obtained a tattered ancient scroll in an ancient ruin, which contained a few words about the Heaven-Slaying Sword."

Su Mei didn't dare stop, pouring out everything she knew, "For this, they secretly searched for tens of thousands of years, mobilizing countless manpower and resources, and finally locked onto the Heavenly Sword Sect in the lower realm!"

"Is everything you said true?" Chu Feng's eyes were cold and scrutinizing.

"Absolutely true!" Madam Saint Gate hurriedly said, "Our Saint Gate is the spies planted in the lower realm by the Saint Heaven Sect, specifically responsible for investigating the movements of the Heavenly Sword Sect. Over the years, we have been searching for clues about the Heaven-Slaying Sword."

"You destroyed the Heavenly Sword Sect, but didn't find the Heaven-Slaying Sword?" Chu Feng asked in confusion.

"Because they can't open the Sword Tomb!" Su Mei's voice held a hint of fear. "The Sword Tomb itself is an extremely stable secret realm, its entrance sealed by a supreme sword formation. There's only one way to enter: find the key to open it!"

"key?"

"That's right, it's the key!" Su Mei nodded emphatically. "The people of the Holy Heaven Sect captured all the remnants of the Heavenly Sword Sect and used every kind of torture, but they still couldn't find out the key's whereabouts. Now... now your sister, Chu Qingge, is the only direct descendant of the Heavenly Sword Sect, and she has awakened the rare innate sword body... The people of the Holy Heaven Sect will definitely believe that the key is on your sister!"

boom!

Something seemed to explode in Chu Feng's mind.

An unprecedented surge of violence and killing intent erupted from the deepest part of his heart like a volcano!

He finally understood the true purpose of the Holy Heaven Sect in kidnapping his sister! They didn't want to discipline her; they wanted to use the cruelest methods in the world to force her to reveal the so-called "key"!

The thought of the torment his sister might suffer made Chu Feng feel as if his heart was being pierced by countless steel needles, causing him so much pain that he could hardly breathe.

"The Holy Heaven Sect..." He squeezed out three words through gritted teeth, each word carrying a chilling intent capable of freezing one's soul. "Where is their headquarters?"

The undisguised killing intent made Su Mei tremble. She hurriedly said, "The Heavenly Realm! The headquarters of the Holy Heaven Sect is located in the Holy Domain, one of the ten major star domains of the Heavenly Realm! As for the exact location... I... someone of my status has no way of knowing..."

skyline!

It's the Heavenly Realm again!

Chu Feng's mind raced, and he asked in a deep voice within his sea of ​​consciousness, "Senior Demoness, how do I travel to the Heavenly Realm?"

"Little brother, calm down." The demoness's voice was more solemn than ever before. "If you want to break through the void and go to the upper realm, your cultivation level must be at least at the Shattering Realm. With your current strength, you can't even shake the spatial barrier of the lower realm, let alone cross that endless void filled with spatial storms."

"Furthermore, even if you manage to reach the Heavenly Realm by sheer luck, so what? The Holy Heaven Sect is a top-tier power in the Heavenly Realm, with countless powerful experts within. In their eyes, even those at the Shattered Realm or Dharma Aspect Realm are no different from ants. Your attempt to break through like this is tantamount to suicide!"

Even the Thunder Lord, unusually refraining from shouting, said in a deep voice, "The Demoness is right. Boy, a gentleman takes revenge even after ten years. What you need to do now is improve your strength as quickly as possible, not go and throw your life away!"

Chu Feng understood the reasoning.

But the thought of his sister being subjected to inhuman torture completely burned away his reason.

"Even if it's difficult, I have to go!" Chu Feng's eyes revealed a stubbornness and madness that even nine oxen couldn't pull back.

He slowly released his grip, and Su Mei immediately collapsed to the ground like a lump of mud, coughing violently.

Chu Feng looked down at her, his eyes cold and devoid of any human emotion: "Bring out all the cultivation resources your Holy Sect has accumulated—pills, spirit stones, and rare treasures."

"What?" Su Mei looked up abruptly, a hint of heartache and reluctance flashing in her eyes.

That is the foundation upon which the Holy Gate has stood for ten thousand years!

"You have three breaths to consider." Chu Feng didn't give her a chance to bargain.

Looking into Chu Feng's indifferent eyes, Su Mei's last shred of hope vanished completely. She knew that if she dared to say "no," this man would not hesitate to snap her neck.

"I...I'll give it to you!" She nodded with difficulty.

A moment later, led by Su Mei, Chu Feng arrived at the treasure vault deepest within the Holy Gate. When the heavy stone door opened, the mountains of cultivation resources, radiating countless rays of light, almost dazzled his eyes.

Chu Feng showed no politeness whatsoever, directly activating the Burial Heaven Coffin to empty the entire treasure vault.

After doing all this, he flicked his finger, and a beam of blood-red light, flashing with strange runes, instantly entered Su Mei's brow.

"This is... a slave contract?!" Su Mei's face turned pale. She could feel that her life and death were completely in Chu Feng's hands.

"From today onwards, you are my dog." Chu Feng's voice was like the pronouncement of death. "While I am in seclusion, you will guard outside. Anyone who dares to approach will be killed without mercy."

After saying that, he ignored Su Mei, whose face was ashen, turned around and walked back into the secret room, and the stone door slammed shut.

Inside the secret room, Chu Feng sat cross-legged, his eyes resolute.

"bring it on!"

With a thought, the Burial Coffin floated above his head, its mouth opening wide. The massive amount of cultivation resources, like a flood bursting its banks, were frantically devoured and refined by the blood-red vortex, transforming into the purest energy. Like the Milky Way pouring down from the heavens, it continuously flowed into his already tattered body!

Destruction precedes construction! Without destruction, there can be no construction!

He wants to reshape his physical body and break through his cultivation level in the shortest possible time!

Even if there are mountains of knives and seas of fire, or bottomless abysses ahead, he will brave them for his sister!
