Chapter 506: Heavenly Divine Guest

"Wait, Brother Chu, please calm your anger for a moment. There are some misunderstandings here," Zhang Chuan quickly called out. Even with his face being trodden on by Chu Feng, he spoke rapidly, fearing he wouldn't have enough time to explain. "I'm from the former 'Top Ten,' sent on a mission to select exceptional geniuses. Brother Chu, please stop."

"At this critical moment, you mention the 'Top Ten.' Do you intend to make me wary? How laughable," Chu Feng sneered. "How could a mere servant like you be fit to select extraordinary individuals to take back?! You're just afraid of death, deliberately trying to threaten and entice me, aren't you?" *Bang!* Chu Feng kicked him, sending him flying through the air, bleeding profusely. Zhang Chuan's body was covered in cracks and nearly disintegrated. "Also, you are nothing but a subordinate. How dare you address me as 'brother'?" Having mastered the Horizon's Edge technique, Chu Feng moved with extreme speed, instantly catching up to Zhang Chuan. He stepped on his chest in mid-air and landed back on the deck.

Zhang Chuan screamed, his body writhing in convulsions as most of his bones shattered. "You claim there are misunderstandings, yet your repeated provocations and malicious words earlier were full of ill intent. What misunderstanding could there possibly be? You're just afraid of death and trying to stall for time. Don't you find that ridiculous?!" *Bang!* Chu Feng swept out with his foot again, sending Zhang Chuan flying once more, his teeth mixed with blood, completely knocked out of his mouth.

"Ah..." Zhang Chuan screamed, unable to even writhe on the ground due to the severity of his injuries, which left him almost completely immobilized. "Alright, the rest of you, torture him and interrogate him about what I want to know." Chu Feng handed Zhang Chuan over to Li Feng, Zhan He, and Zihuan.

The group exchanged glances. The man on the ground was limp, covered in cracks, and most of his bones were shattered; he was practically disintegrating. How could they torture him? Nevertheless, they dared not disobey. As they interrogated Zhang Chuan, they accidentally twisted off his arm because it was already so fragile and fragmented from Chu Feng's earlier assault.

Zhang Chuan screamed, nearly fainting. He shouted, "Chu Feng, by treating me like this, aren't you afraid of facing retribution yourself? I am from the former Top Ten!" Chu Feng immediately showed his displeasure with Zhan He and the others. They had the man captured, yet Zhang Chuan was still provoking them. Chu Feng instantly gave them a stern look. *Bang!* Zhan He quickly intervened, using excessive force, which shattered Zhang Chuan's already fractured jaw.

Zihuan nearly vomited, clutching her chest and gasping for breath, almost unable to watch. Chu Feng sat there, taking a direct swig from his wine flask. "You three are truly too cruel," he said. "In just a moment, you've managed to remove a whole person's arm and jaw. How cold-blooded. But have you extracted any information yet?"

The three internally grumbled, *Who's cruel? The man was already beaten to a pulp by you, his limbs breaking off with a mere touch, and you're blaming us?!* Seeing Zhang Chuan's critical condition, they thought he would surely die and attempted to administer first aid. Instead, they accidentally broke another one of his legs, which fell onto the deck.

"Ah!" Zhang Chuan screamed, his face pale, his entire body drenched in cold sweat and blood. Chu Feng immediately showed exaggerated concern. "I warn you three, don't be so heavy-handed. It's too cruel, constantly dismembering him is truly gruesome. You're practically tyrants. Also, hurry up and extract information. If you don't get results, you can expect to be sold yourselves. I don't keep idlers!"

The three were speechless, wanting to curse. *How are we supposed to extract information? A mere touch breaks a leg; the man was already ruined by you!* "Quick, tell us which planet in the former 'Top Ten' you are from, and who is your master?!" Li Feng, Zhan He, and the others rapidly demanded.

Zhang Chuan was covered in blood, cold sweat pouring from him. He still tried to utter threats, emphasizing his connection to the 'Top Ten.' However, Zihuan accidentally knocked off his other leg, and he burst into tears on the spot. He truly couldn't utter any more threats, but still refused to confess. At the same time, Zihuan was also on the verge of tears, finding the gruesome, bloody sight unbearable. She wouldn't mind directly killing someone, but this felt like dismembering a living person.

On Abbot Island, a group of people were petrified. The sight was too gruesome, especially since Chu Feng had just landed on the island and directly abducted someone. "Stop!" someone shouted. They were worried about being blamed if anything happened to Zhang Chuan, as he was a subordinate of that esteemed person.

"You say let him go, and I'll let him go?" Chu Feng scoffed, not bothering to engage further. He then glanced at Yuan Mo, who was lying on the deck recovering from injuries, and said, "You go interrogate him too. If you don't get results, I'll beat you up again!" "Why would you beat me?!" Yuan Mo genuinely wanted to fight him to the death, but ultimately, he compromised.

As expected of a demon prince-level figure, Yuan Mo had Zhan He retrieve a Spirit-Binding Rope to tie up Zhang Chuan, then directly threw him into the sea to "fish" for sharks. "Ah, no!" Zhang Chuan shrieked. Bound by the Spirit-Binding Rope, he couldn't move. Even facing ordinary sharks that hadn't yet embarked on the path of evolution, he couldn't endure the terror and was on the verge of fainting from fright.

Zhang Chuan couldn't bear it. Great white sharks circled around him; he was pulled out of the water, then thrown back in, constantly brought near the bloodthirsty creatures. Normally, he would scoff at them, but now, even a child could kill him. "I'll confess, I'll tell you! My master is from the Celestial God Star, named Yu Jiubian. His identity is noble, and his status is revered." "Never heard of him," Chu Feng replied, shaking his head.

Suddenly, a masked woman emerged from the depths of the island. Her figure was slender and graceful, and her aura suggested exceptional beauty. Her voice was cold and sharp. "Chu Feng, you've gone too far!" she declared. "Coming to my Abbot Island to cause trouble and disrupt my marriage arrangements—what exactly do you intend to do?!" There was no doubt; Princess Qingqi had arrived.

Chu Feng felt bewildered and ignored her, instead glancing at Zihuan. Zihuan inwardly fumed. Not only had she become a maid, but now she was a personal attendant? Was she expected to argue on his behalf? This Demon King Chu truly acted like a lord, maintaining his aloofness and delegating the task to her. Zihuan reluctantly spoke up. "How have we gone too far? When did we disturb your marriage? We were merely passing by, and then your Abbot Island strangely insisted on marrying a daughter to Chu Feng—and that wasn't you, but someone named Ruolan, it seems. Then this Zhang Chuan appeared, mockingly insulting us. We actually think *your* Abbot Island went too far. Is this your idea of hospitality?"

"What?! I'm to marry him? Impossible! I want to stay with my lady!" exclaimed the maid who had earlier said Chu Feng was unworthy of Qingqi. Not far away, an old woman walking from the depths of Abbot Island changed her expression. She sensed trouble, realizing they hadn't coordinated with Princess Qingqi and her maid Ruolan earlier, and now their deception was exposed.

At this moment, Chu Feng's eyes narrowed. Not long ago, the people of Abbot Island had claimed they would marry the island master's *other* daughter, Ruolan, to him. It turned out she was merely Qingqi's maid. Although he had never taken the offer seriously nor truly considered marrying into Abbot Island, discovering this deceit—their attempt to substitute a maid—still turned his expression cold. "This is going too far!" Zihuan, quick-witted and observing Chu Feng's displeased face, immediately expressed her indignation as a loyal maid. "Long ago, your Abbot Island wanted to marry Princess Qingqi to Chu Feng. Now, not only do you renege on that, but you try to substitute a maid to marry Chu Feng. This is an absolute humiliation!"

Before anyone else could speak, the maid Ruolan immediately retorted, "What nonsense are you spouting? How could I marry him? I will go to the Celestial God Star with my lady! What is your master, Chu Feng, even?!" "Young friend Chu, you've misunderstood. Ruolan, silence yourself!" the recently arrived old woman interjected, quickly trying to smooth things over. She explained, "Ruolan has indeed been adopted as a foster daughter by the island master, and she is truly considered a princess."

Ruolan's face instantly turned pale, as if she had been struck. She felt like a sacrificial pawn, realizing she would no longer be able to follow Princess Qingqi into the 'Top Ten.' "My goodness, my lungs are about to burst!" Zihuan exclaimed delicately. After saying this, she couldn't help but glance at Chu Feng, continuing her impromptu performance as a loyal maid. "Your Abbot Island is going too far! Do you really disregard and look down on us so much? No matter how you try to justify it, she's still just a maid. Don't even talk about 'foster daughter'; she probably didn't even know she'd become the island master's foster daughter herself!"

She then continued, "Also, did you hear what Zhang Chuan said? His master, Yu Jiubian, deliberately targeted Chu Feng. He intervened midway to sabotage the arrangement after hearing that Abbot Island intended to marry a daughter to Chu Feng. Now, he's marrying Princess Qingqi, while you're asking Chu Feng to marry her maid. Is this your way of collaborating with Yu Jiubian to humiliate Chu Feng?" Chu Feng let out a heavy cold snort. He felt that Saintess Zihuan was absolutely right; Abbot Island was simply too deceptive.

At this point, everything was too obvious. Abbot Island was actively pursuing a close relationship with the 'Top Ten.' "Young friend Chu, please listen to our explanation," the old woman began, still wanting to speak. She genuinely wished to keep Chu Feng, pacify him, and find an opportunity to lure him onto the island. They coveted his 'Dao-Attracting Breathing Technique' and would not give up until they obtained it.

Chu Feng stated, "There's nothing to explain. I'm not interested in anyone on your Abbot Island, whether princess or maid. I won't marry any of them, and I have no connection to you!" The old woman opened her mouth, but tasted only bitterness. There was no way to keep Chu Feng now, nor any means to make him come onto the island.

At this moment, Princess Qingqi spoke. "Since you believe you have no connection to my Abbot Island, then please release Zhang Chuan. He is now a guest on our island." "Are you sick?" Zihuan retorted, then continued, "Princess syndrome needs to be cured. Do you think the whole world revolves around you? This Zhang Chuan insulted us; he invited his own demise. You think a single word from you is enough to make us release him? We've already said we have no connection to you. Do you think you're that important?"

Upon hearing this, Princess Qingqi's face instantly turned ashen. At this point, Chu Feng nodded to Zihuan. "That makes sense," he said. "It seems I can consider keeping you; no need to sell you off." Upon hearing these words, Zihuan almost burst into tears, desperately wanting to say, *Please just sell me!* Her brother Zixiao had already contacted her, informing her that the person who successfully bid for her was a member of the Zi family. Zihuan believed that if she could escape, she would undoubtedly save her family a huge sum of money. If there truly was no other option, then it would be better for Demon King Chu to sell her. Now, on the verge of tears, she felt she had overperformed. And so, she promptly fell silent, deciding to deliberately make some mistakes in order to be sold off.

At this moment, the optical computers of Zhan He, Yuan Mo, Zihuan, and Li Feng all lit up, receiving important messages. Subsequently, Chu Feng's optical computer also showed a notification. Someone was contacting him on the Primal Beast Platform. He checked, and a young man radiating golden light appeared, projected into the void, simultaneously reprimanding them all: "You have quite some nerve! Release Zhang Chuan!"

On Abbot Island, someone had contacted the esteemed Yu Jiubian from the 'Top Ten,' who was now commanding Chu Feng, Yuan Mo, and Zihuan through his optical computer. "Who are you, you piece of trash? How dare you reprimand and command us like that!" Chu Feng said contemptuously, not even bothering to look at him, despite the man appearing imposing and divine, shrouded in light. "Young Master Yu," Princess Qingqi whispered.

In an instant, everyone present knew this was Yu Jiubian. "Master, they are disrespectful to you!" Zhang Chuan complained, his eyes venomous as he swept a gaze over Chu Feng and the others. "Release him!" Yu Jiubian stated coldly, his tone commanding, brooking no disobedience.

"Yuan Mo, what are you all gawking at?" Chu Feng turned to Yuan Mo, Zhan He, and the others. "Such excellent bait, already tied up with Spirit-Binding Ropes! Go 'fish' for flood dragons immediately!" "Alright!" Yuan Mo was a wild individual. Even though Yu Jiubian's status was extraordinary, being reprimanded like this still angered him.

*Plop!* He threw Zhang Chuan directly into the sea. Below, seven or eight great white sharks were swimming, and upon smelling blood, they all opened their gaping maws and lunged forward. "Ah..." Zhang Chuan's scream was heart-rending, fear chilling him to the bone. Then, he felt agonizing pain, as if he were being torn to shreds.

"You have quite some audacity!" Yu Jiubian said coldly. Chu Feng calmly replied, "Dissatisfied? You can come over too. I'll throw you directly into the sea to feed the old turtle!"
