Chapter 368: Nanhai Island

"Unbelievable!" Bai Han was speechless. She hadn't expected Chu Feng to be so decisive, leaving without a second word.

But there was nothing she could do. She could only hurry and take Chu Feng's place guarding the Grand Canyon, since nothing could be allowed to go wrong there.

With a Martial Arts Venerable leaving the Martial Arts Grand Ceremony whenever he pleased, the Seven Kills Sword Master was bound to come looking for trouble.

So, in the end, Bai Han went to inform the Sect Leader of the Celestial Sword Sect.

Chu Feng quickly reached the foot of the mountain. Inside the Chu Family's camp, he went straight to Wang Hong.

"Young Master, what do you need a car for?" Wang Hong, who hadn't gone to rest yet, asked curiously.

"Don't worry about why. Just arrange it. I need a ride to the airport and a private jet to fly me to Nanhai. Then, arrange for a boat. I'm going out to sea."

"Alright. For the plane, I'll need to get Jiang Tao, the fatty, to coordinate it." Wang Hong nodded and began to make a call.

Soon, a car pulled up in front of the camp.

Inside was a driver—Wang Hong's personal chauffeur.

"Young Master, won't there be consequences if you leave now? The selection tournament isn't even over," Wang Hong asked with concern.

Although he hadn't been here long, he had some understanding of the rules. He knew that as a Martial Arts Venerable, Chu Feng wasn't supposed to leave without authorization.

Besides, the Four Celestial Kings were here, representing the most powerful official faction.

All the major Sects in the entire Martial Arts Realm had chosen to submit to them.

Of course, Wang Hong was also aware of Chu Feng's power, even if he hadn't known its full extent at first.

But through their interactions over time, he had come to understand just how formidable Chu Feng was.

Forget the Chu Family—even within the Celestial Sword Sect, Chu Feng was in a league of his own, immensely powerful.

"So what?" Chu Feng asked.

"In that case, should I tell the Ancestor and the others about this?" Wang Hong asked.

"It's fine. I'll only be gone for a few days. Wang Hong, you've done well. When I get back, I'll have the old man teach you Cultivation. Just tell him I said so," Chu Feng said.

He was quite satisfied with Wang Hong. In every respect, Wang Hong's work was excellent and exceptionally thorough.

Crucially, he was also very thoughtful, which made it hard not to like him.

"Ah? Thank you, Young Master!" Wang Hong was stunned when he heard this. He never imagined something so wonderful would happen to him.

And since the words had come from Chu Feng himself, it was a guarantee. If Chu Feng said something would happen, it was as good as done.

"Nothing to thank me for. You've earned it. You've done great work. Keep it up, stick with the Chu Family, and I guarantee you'll be well taken care of in the future," Chu Feng said before getting into the car and heading down the mountain.

While he was on his way, Jiang Tao gave him a call.

"Brother! What have you been so busy with? You haven't even called your old pal. I hear you're heading to Nanhai? I've already got the plane arranged for you," came Jiang Tao's voice.

"Hahaha, I'll have to trouble you then, Brother Jiang. I'm making a trip to Nanhai and need to go out to sea, so could you get a yacht ready for me?" Chu Feng said.

"Sure, no problem. Leave it all to me," Jiang Tao readily agreed.

Soon, the car arrived at the airport.

As soon as he was inside, someone was there to meet him. Chu Feng boarded the private jet Jiang Tao had prepared.

It was the dead of night, completely pitch-black, with only the faint lights of the city below visible.

The plane had to fly across most of the Great Xia Country, a journey that took several hours.

When he arrived at Nanhai Airport, another private car was waiting for him.

Chu Feng went to the Nanhai coast, boarded a yacht, and set out to sea.

Several hours passed. As he neared his destination, Chu Feng had the yacht stop. He decided to proceed on foot.

That's right—on foot. He walked across the surface of the waves, moving with incredible speed.

About an hour later, Chu Feng set foot on an island. It was shrouded in mist and unmarked on any map.

"Senior of the Cloud Mist Sect, I, Chu Feng, have arrived!" Chu Feng called out.

"I didn't expect you to arrive so quickly, my young friend!" A voice brimming with energy echoed, and an old man in a Daoist robe appeared, striding through the air from the distance.

He carried two swords on his back, both of which looked remarkable.

"It is my great honor to witness you Crossing the Tribulation, Senior. How could I not come? But first, allow me to congratulate you on reaching the Tribulation Crossing Stage," Chu Feng said with a smile.

"What's there to congratulate? If I mess this up, my body and soul will be annihilated," the old man said with a chuckle.

"Are you not confident, Senior?" Chu Feng asked.

"Let's talk over there. You don't look very old, yet you possess such incredible strength. It's truly unprecedented!" the old man said in astonishment.

"What? You know the extent of my strength, Senior?" Chu Feng asked, surprised.

In fact, the moment he had set foot on the island, Chu Feng had felt the old man scanning him with his Divine Soul.

Chu Feng had simply blocked the Divine Soul's probe, unwilling to let anyone pry into his secrets.
