"But what are you going to do about the Earth-level, Profound-level, and Yellow-level disciples in the competition?"

"If they compete against the Heavenly-level forces' disciples."

"With their strength, how can they contend with the disciples of the Heavenly-level forces?"

An independent elder looked angrily at the elder of the Heavenly-level forces.

"That's their problem. If they're not strong enough, they can't blame others."

"In fact, the Hidden Pride Competition should have long banned disciples from the Earth-level, Profound-level, and Yellow-level forces."

"With their strength, how can they be called the true Hidden Pride?"

The elder of the Heavenly-level forces said coldly.

"Right, and those independent practitioner disciples should also be banned from participating."

"Them joining the Hidden Pride Competition is a total insult to this competition and the Heavenly-level forces' disciples!!!"

Another elder of the Heavenly-level forces snorted coldly.

"You..."

The two independent elders slammed their chairs and stood up with angry expressions.

"Alright, we've already discussed this matter, and it's decided."

"If those Earth-level, Profound-level, Yellow-level, and independent disciples want to achieve a ranking in the Hidden Pride Competition."

"They should prove it with their strength."

The oldest among the five Heavenly-level force elders lightly stroked his beard and said calmly.

"If that's the case, we have nothing more to say."

The elder seated among the three independent elders said with an indifferent expression.

"Let's go!!!"

The independent elder said to the other two, and they directly walked out.

"Humph, these three old guys really think they are something."

"Back when the chairman was around, they flaunted themselves under the chairman's favoritism."

"Now that the chairman is gone, they still dare to be so self-important."

One of the Heavenly-level force elders snorted coldly.

"Exactly, mere independent fellows are not worthy of being elders of the Hidden Cultivation Association with us?"

"Once the new chairman is elected, it will be time to eliminate them."

Another elder of the Heavenly-level forces said coldly.

"Let's not talk about that now, we should focus on another matter."

The oldest elder of the Heavenly-level forces spoke solemnly.

"Are you talking about the matter of Chu Feng, the Son of the Mad Dragon?"

The other elders asked in unison.

"Indeed, I trust everyone has heard about what Chu Feng did today."

"He is becoming the second Kuanglong. Once he truly grows up."

"He might have a significant impact on the Hidden Cultivation Association and the entire Hidden Cultivation Lineage."

"Moreover, he possesses the Shennong Medical Scripture."

The oldest elder said with a deep voice.

"I heard even the Punishment Hall Master was injured by him."

"This guy is certainly not simple!!!"

A Heavenly-level force elder said solemnly.

"In any case, this guy cannot be allowed to stay!!!"

The oldest Hidden Elder said coldly, and the other four nodded.

Meanwhile, outside the hall.

The three independent elders walked together.

"Big brother, are we just going to leave it at that?"

"Now, more than half of the Hidden Cultivation Association has sided with them."

"At this rate, we'll lose all power in the Hidden Cultivation Association."

The two independent elders spoke to the strongest among them.

"What we need to do now is find the chairman's direct disciple and have them become the chairman."

"Only then can we continue to stand in the Hidden Cultivation Association."

"Once the new chairman is chosen, both the Hidden Guards and Hidden Dragon will show up."

"By then, no matter how much those five jump around, it will be of no use."

The strongest independent elder said coldly.

"Big brother is right."

The other two nodded in agreement.

...

At this time, every major power in the Imperial City was talking about Chu Feng's feat at the Sword Casting Manor today.

In the courtyard of Chu Family, where Chu Tengshan resides.

Chu Tengshan lay on a rocking chair, puffing on a cigarette.

"Godfather."

The figure of Chu Qingge appeared.

"What's the matter?"

Chu Tengshan said softly.

"Godfather, I discovered a mysterious demonic power within Xiao Feng's body."

"Will this affect him..."

Chu Qingge started to speak.

But before she could finish, Chu Tengshan interrupted.

"No one can interfere with his growth."

"As for what power he has, it is his own destiny, no need to worry."

"I am more curious about the other Chu Family offspring who has the Chu Family bloodline and the Emperor Star Destiny."

Chu Tengshan said softly while taking a puff from his cigarette.

"This person is hiding very deeply."

"I haven't found any traces or clues about him."

"I feel like he's planning something."

"This person might have ill intentions!!!"

Chu Qingge said coldly.

"It seems you don't think highly of this other nephew of yours."

Chu Tengshan said calmly.

"I have only one nephew, Chu Feng, and I only acknowledge him!!!"

"I will not allow anyone to harm him!!!"

Chu Qingge said coldly.

"Godfather, I will take my leave now."

Then Chu Qingge said, directly walking away.

At this moment, Housekeeper Yue came over with a pot of tea.

"Master, it seems Miss Qingge has unusual feelings for Young Master Xiao Feng; they won't..."

Housekeeper Yue looked at Chu Tengshan and spoke, leaving the last words unsaid.

"Qingge is merely my adoptive daughter, not biologically related to the Chu Family."

"Even if it's like that, what's the problem!!!"

"I would actually hope they have the relationship you're suggesting."

"Although Qingge doesn't carry the Chu Family bloodline, she is exceptionally talented and holds the Nine Songs Jade Scroll."

"Moreover, she possesses the bloodline of that race, and her future achievements are bound to be high."

"If that kid truly wins over Qingge, he would be incredibly lucky."

Chu Tengshan chuckled lightly.

"Master, according to the investigation, those forces are already beginning to stir."

"Moreover, the world's restriction is loosening, and the power of the restriction is slipping away."

"At this rate, it seems it won't hold for much longer."

Housekeeper Yue said with a furrowed brow.

"What's meant to come will come, and hiding is not an option, we'll have to face it head-on."

"Our Chu Family has been dormant for so long, it's time to start moving again."

Chu Tengshan exhaled a smoke ring, his gaze deepening as he spoke.

...

At the Sword Casting Manor.

Within a grand hall, Chu Feng, Cheng Gu, and Long Yan sat together.

"Master, does your injury not matter?"

Cheng Gu looked at Chu Feng and asked.

"I'm fine. Senior, you're older than me. Just call me Xiao Feng."

Chu Feng replied.

"Xiao Feng, your battle this time has made you completely famous in Hua Country and the Hidden Cultivation Lineage, as well as those Heavenly-level forces."

"But that means you have a lot of enemies now too."

Cheng Gu said.

"No matter, whoever wants to be my enemy should be prepared to die!!!"

Chu Feng said coldly.
