Chapter 161: Beyond the mortal realm, a world above the heavens!

Hengmei stepped forward a few steps and said, "Do not misunderstand, we come here with no malice. We only wish to see your male tribe leader, Yunfei, and discuss some matters with him!"

"Oh?"

Chenfeng was startled and immediately said, "Exalted Matriarch, I am deeply sorry, but Young Master Yunfei is currently not available to see you. May I ask what business you have? I am a steward under Young Master Yunfei, highly trusted by him, and I can convey your intentions!"

"Since that is the case, there is no harm in telling you the truth. As you should already know, Dongzhe previously led thirteen stewards into our female tribe's territory seeking to avenge his younger brother's murder by Chu Feng. At present, Dongzhe and those thirteen stewards have been slain by Chu Feng. The four of us have come here precisely to discuss this matter with Yunfei!"

Hengmei said slowly, pronouncing every single word clearly.

"What?"

Upon hearing Hengmei's words, Chenfeng and the male warriors beside him were all struck with utter astonishment. A few of their expressions even shifted drastically, and they cried out in shock.

"Did I hear that correctly? Young Master Dongzhe and the thirteen stewards actually... all died?"

"Impossible, this is impossible! Young Master Dongzhe possesses formidable martial prowess and is the foremost expert of our male tribe. How could he just die like that? And the thirteen stewards are no mediocrities either; how could the entire group be wiped out?"

"Chu Feng, he... he appears completely composed and unscathed. Could it be that with the strength of Young Master Dongzhe and the thirteen stewards, they were no match for Chu Feng at all?"

"Impossible! Chu Feng is at the seventh stage of Body Tempering. Even if he could easily slaughter Dongzhuo, it would be impossible for him to wipe out Young Master Dongzhe's entire entourage, right?"

The death of Dongzhe was nothing short of a bolt from the blue for these male warriors, delivering a shock beyond measure.

Including Steward Chenfeng, every single male warrior present was extremely terrified, and the gazes they directed at Chu Feng were filled with shock and disbelief.

What manner of existence could possibly wipe out both Dongzhe and thirteen stewards completely?

"Very well, cease your chatter!"

Hengmei shook her head and said, "When Chu Feng slew Dongzhe and the thirteen stewards, he used no unseemly methods, nor did he enlist anyone to assist him. He accomplished it entirely through his own strength!"

"Exalted Matriarch, Chu Feng is at the seventh stage of Body Tempering. Could he truly slay Young Master Dongzhe and the thirteen stewards relying solely on his own strength?"

Chenfeng still found it difficult to believe and sought confirmation from Hengmei once more.

"Indeed! There are always people beyond people, heavens beyond the heavens! The Chu Feng standing before you may look unremarkable, but he is precisely that person beyond people, that heaven beyond the heavens!"

Hengmei explained expressionlessly to Chenfeng and the male warriors.

Hearing this explanation, these people remained half-doubting, while Chu Feng could not help but mutter inwardly, thinking that the phrase "looks unremarkable" sounded rather grating, though the latter part about being "the person beyond people, heaven beyond the heavens" sounded acceptable.

However, considering that Hengmei had a sharp tongue by nature, managing to say such words was already quite remarkable. After all, with so many people present, she could not make her flattery of him too obvious, could she? Thinking along these lines, Chu Feng's mind settled at ease.

"Enough, stop standing there in a daze. Quickly lead us to see Yunfei, and let us lay out the truth about how Dongzhe and the thirteen stewards courted their own deaths, so that no further misunderstandings arise!"

Jinsheng said immediately.

"To be entirely honest, before Young Master Dongzhe rushed to the female tribe to seek revenge, Young Master Yunfei offered a few words of dissuasion. In a fit of great rage, Young Master Dongzhe had him and two stewards locked away in the Ice Nether Frost Cave. At present, Young Master Yunfei is still inside the frost cave. Please allow me to go ahead and announce your arrival!"

Chenfeng said promptly.

"There is no need! We shall all go together!"

It was not Hengmei who spoke these words, but Chu Feng.

As soon as Chu Feng uttered these words, while not explicitly an order, they naturally carried a commanding and majestic aura.

This was the benefit of having consumed the Heavenly Monarch Battle Might Pill.

After consuming the Heavenly Monarch Battle Might Pill, Chu Feng would condense the presence of a heavenly monarch when engaging in combat, vastly enhancing his battle prowess.

Even in ordinary non-combat states, with his inner Qi restrained and the heavenly monarch presence failing to take physical form, every word and gesture of Chu Feng still carried a majestic dignity that people dared not ignore.

Upon hearing Chu Feng's words, Chenfeng agreed almost without hesitation, saying, "Yes!"

Aside from the majestic aura in Chu Feng's words, Chenfeng naturally knew that with Chu Feng's formidable strength capable of slaying Dongzhe and thirteen stewards, if he wished to head straight to the Ice Nether Frost Cave to meet Yunfei, no one could possibly block him. It was far wiser to simply agree.

Without further ado, guided by Chenfeng, the four of them headed toward the Ice Nether Frost Cave.

The so-called Ice Nether Frost Cave was an extremely frigid ice cavern carved out beneath the thick ice layer of the Ice Nether Sea, functioning essentially as a prison within the male tribe.

Just as Chu Feng's group was heading toward the Ice Nether Frost Cave, the news that Dongzhe had led thirteen stewards to the female tribe to avenge his brother, only to be wiped out entirely by Chu Feng single-handedly, instantly spread throughout the male tribe.

Word spread from ten to a hundred.

Before Chu Feng and the others even reached the Ice Nether Frost Cave, the news of Dongzhe's death had already reached the ears of every member of the male tribe, traveling so swiftly that it even outpaced Chu Feng's group.

Across the entire territory of the male tribe, an uproar erupted, and this eastern domain of the Ice Nether Sea boiled with excitement!

"Dongzhuo met a tragic end at the hands of Chu Feng, his physical body pierced clean through by Chu Feng's spear—I knew about this long ago!"

"Brother, the one who died this time is not Dongzhuo, but Dongzhe!"

"What, Dongzhe was also killed by Chu Feng? How is this possible?"

"How could it not be possible? The Exalted Matriarch Hengmei herself said that this Chu Feng is the person beyond people, the heaven beyond the heavens, with methods so unfathomable that even ghosts and gods would find them unpredictable. Let alone a single Dongzhe, even ten Dongzhe would be thoroughly dead by now!"

"Could it be impossible? Could Chu Feng be an expert at the tenth stage of Body Tempering who has comprehended the Five Elements Celestial Instrument?"

"Who knows! In any case, Chu Feng's strength is unfathomable. I am afraid even an expert at the tenth stage of Body Tempering would meet their doom if they crossed paths with him!"

Throughout the residential areas of the male tribe, such discussions could be heard everywhere, some of which were even exceedingly exaggerated.

Hearing the discussions of these clansmen, Chu Feng was truly quite speechless, as they practically described him as omnipotent.

At the same time, a thought stirred in Chu Feng's heart.

Listening to the clansmen's discussions, it seemed they did not feel excessive grief or sorrow over Dongzhe's death; instead, they were far more concerned with just how formidable his strength truly was.

Jinsheng, walking beside Chu Feng, suddenly cast a meaningful look at him.

"Sister, what is it?" Chu Feng asked, puzzled.

"Brother Chu Feng, you must be feeling quite pleased inside, right? You heard them just now—someone actually believes you are capable of slaying an expert at the tenth stage of Body Tempering. Tell me, who could that person be? They truly have no principles at all!"
