Chapter 266: Leaving the Chu Family
The key was that Chu Feng also possessed the Heaven-Slaying Sword Emperor's inheritance.
Therefore, Chu Tianshan was supremely confident in Chu Feng's strength.
"Alright, I'm done wasting my breath. I'm leaving tomorrow morning. When it's almost time for the Martial Arts Grand Ceremony to start, just have someone notify me," Chu Feng said.
"Oh, right, about your sword… Forget it. At your current level, you don't need to worry so much. It's fine." Chu Tianshan looked at Chu Feng, trailing off mid-sentence.
Hearing this, Chu Feng frowned and asked, "What is it?"
"It's like this: although the Heaven-Slaying Sword Emperor reached the Martial Arts Peak back in the day, he had enemies everywhere. Many of those enemies' families still exist today. Now that you have his inheritance, they will naturally target you if they find out," Chu Tianshan said.
"Hasn't the Heaven-Slaying Sword Emperor been dead for over three hundred years? Who could possibly know?" Chu Feng asked in surprise.
"Back in the day, the Heaven-Slaying Sword Emperor slaughtered those sects until no one dared oppose him. When he stormed their clans, it was like walking into an unguarded home. Do you think they wouldn't hold a grudge?" Chu Tianshan said with a smile.
"Pfft. And here I thought it was something serious. Let them do what they want. I'll cut down anyone who dares to provoke me. Do they think my Heaven-Slaying Sword is just for show?" Chu Feng said fearlessly.
Chu Feng wasn't the least bit afraid of such things.
'Who should I be afraid of? I've never been afraid of anyone. After all, I have the Immortal Dao Inheritance.'
"Hahaha, good! Spoken like a true descendant of the Chu Family. You've got guts! Courage! When the Martial Arts Grand Ceremony is about to start next year, I'll come find you," Chu Tianshan said with a laugh, clearly pleased.
Since Chu Feng had agreed, he didn't press the matter further.
Later, Chu Wuji somehow got wind of the news and rushed to Chu Yunfei's home, hoping to persuade Chu Feng to stay.
However, it was no use, no matter how much the man pleaded. Chu Feng was determined to leave.
He even issued a challenge: if anyone could defeat him, he would stay.
When those words came out, no one in the room dared to say a thing.
'Defeat him? How is that even possible?'
Everyone had seen Chu Wuji's defeat at Chu Feng's hands with their own eyes.
At a time like this, who would be foolish enough to pick a fight with Chu Feng?
"Fine, fine. But no matter what, you are the Young Master of the Chu Family. When I step down, you will be the Chu Family's Patriarch," Chu Wuji said with determination.
He was set on Chu Feng as his successor.
Chu Feng couldn't care less. 'What's the point?
'Even Chu Tianshan has given up trying to persuade me. What the hell does this guy think he's doing?'
Early the next morning, they departed from the Chu Family's ancestral land.
Although the environment and air there were excellent, perfect for Cultivation and retirement, it would get incredibly boring if one stayed too long.
When they reached the village entrance, Chu Qingqing saw Chu Feng's car, and an irrepressible excitement lit up her eyes.
She had never ridden in a car in her entire life, so she was extremely curious about it.
After she got in, her face was a mask of curiosity.
"These seats are so comfortable! They must have been expensive, right?" Chu Qingqing asked, pleasantly surprised.
"Qingqing, don't tell me this is your first time in a car?" Chu Feng asked, astonished.
The van was just big enough to fit the whole family, and it was quite spacious besides.
"It is. I've never left this place since I was born, so how would I ever get the chance to ride in one?" Chu Qingqing said.
"What kind of Martial Arts Clan is this? It's like they're living like savages—so barbaric. They don't even let people leave," Chu Hao grumbled from the side.
She's all grown up and has had zero contact with the outside world. She's completely cut off from society.
"That's just how the Chu Family is. Other Martial Arts Clans aren't like this. They regularly let their disciples go out—provided their Cultivation meets the standard, of course," Chu Feng said.
Actually, you couldn't really blame the Chu Family.
There was no helping it. After the major disaster that befell the Chu Family all those years ago, it was only natural for them to be so fearful now.
The Chu Family's old ancestor was grievously wounded, and the Gang Leader of the Qing Gang was dead. They were naturally worried the Qing Gang would seek revenge against the Chu Family.
"Xiao Hao, have you learned any moves lately?" Chu Feng asked.
"Huh? What moves?" Chu Hao asked, playing dumb.
"Still playing dumb with me? Your sister-in-law told me everything. You've been sneaking out to secretly watch other Chu Family members practice, haven't you? But I'm telling you, there's no need for that. If you want to learn, I can teach you. Or your sister-in-law can teach you, that's fine too," Chu Feng said.
"Pfft. If I waited for you, it'd be too late. Sister-in-law already taught me. I just wanted to go see how the others were training," Chu Hao said.
"Then you need to practice diligently from now on. No slacking off," Chu Feng instructed.
After all, if he wanted to lead his entire family down the path of the Martial Dao, he had to start guiding them in that direction.
Only then could the whole family walk the same path together, forever.
