The Sacred Ruins

Chapter 773: Your Biological Father is Here

Translator: Alsey Editor: Chrissy

Even though Chu Feng appeared to be calm on the surface, he was actually enraged. He felt a blazing fury flaring up having been wrongly accused and set up like this, and he was about to charge out of his body.

But he didn’t lose his composure and had yet to lose his head.

Worst come to worst, he would fight them!

As such, Chu Feng was increasingly calm and he had a mild expression on his face. Even though he was berating the other party, he was rather cold and didn’t bring excessive emotions into play.

“Everyone, I think this Luo Shirong should have imparted a lot of evidence pertaining to my crime. But you guys are exceptional people and can’t possibly be prejudiced to believe his one side of the story. I will not say more than necessary as I will give an account of what I went through on this journey of mine and it is up to you guys to judge for yourselves.”

Chu Feng was increasingly calm as though he was narrating something that had nothing to do with him and he rapidly concluded what happened.

That was because he knew such a serious incident was a matter of life and death and concerned everyone. If he confronted Luo Shirong, it was impossible for either one of them to make everyone believe them. He believed these people would be extremely cautious out of consideration for their safety.

Presently, not only were Ouyang Feng and him being surrounded, but even Luo Shirong was encircled within as well. No one could escape.

To take it ten thousand steps back, if some people really had selective listening, then they would have a fight at worst. He had said all he needed to say, and he did so out of the good intentions to save them.

If the related parties didn’t trust him, or if they had other thoughts, then that wouldn’t be that alarming. All he had to do was to defend himself and disregard whether they lived or died!

In addition to that, he believed in his strength and it was not likely that he would fail to leave the encirclement by fighting!

“Wu Lunhui, what’s the significance of saying all these? You may be making up a story by yourself, but who can say for sure? If you have sincerity, let us search your soul and take a good look at it for the whole truth to be revealed,” said Yan Luo from the Corpse Race. He had a faint smile on his face as he stared at Chu Feng and Ouyang Feng as he harboured malicious intentions.

Anyone knew that once they had their soul searched, they would be completely devoid of secrets. If they didn’t have elders who blessed their soul beforehand, other people would be able to acquire the so-called divine skills attributed to their sect alone.

“Do you want to die?” Ouyang Feng was furious. He stared at Yan Luo from the Corpse Race and added on, “Filthy demon!”

The last sentence was naturally a personal attack on the other party. Ouyang Feng was extremely unhappy because Chu Feng explained things in a clear manner and was convinced that these people would make a just judgment, but this Yan Luo from the Corpse Race was obviously siding with Luo Shirong.

“Everyone, what do you think? They already have a guilty conscience,” said Luo Shirong. After that, he slowly strolled toward Chu Feng and Ouyang Feng. It was obvious he was going to make a move.

Many people parted and cleared the way for him.

Aside from Daoist Jin Lin, the Buddhist Shi Hong, Ying Wudi, and Yuan Shicheng, more than ninety percent of the people only knew of such unforeseen events now and were taking precautions as they surrounded the duo.

From a few people’s point of view, Chu Feng and Luo Shirong were both questionable. As long as they didn’t let them escape, they could naturally make clear of the situation.

If they had fiercely fought now, it couldn’t be better. They would first let both parties have internal friction so that they strove to have a dispute amongst themselves in order to prove their innocence.

Yan Luo from the Corpse Race opened his mouth and licked his lips as he said, “I also think that Wu Lunhui and Ou Ye are both questionable. Dao Brothers, all of you can make a move and seize them. We’ll search their souls in a moment!”

He was eager to give it a try. It could be seen that he was extremely interested in Wu Lunhui who possessed the Humanoid Monarch lineage and wanted to clearly understand the things in the deepest part of his soul.

In reality, there were others amongst the most top-notch geniuses whose desires were moved. No matter what one said, if they could probe the souls of the Tyrant Godhead and that of Chu Feng’s who had the Humanoid Monarch Blood, they simply didn’t dare to imagine the benefits they would gain from that.

Ouyang Feng was abruptly infuriated as he said, “Motherf*cker! All of you have been deceived by this malicious hypocrite! Do all of you want to act as the villainous tiger’s accomplice? Or is it to say that you guys want to take the opportunity to probe our souls and search the divine skills Wu Lunhui and I exclusively inherited?”

When he spoke to the end, he came to realize that more than half of the people in this group definitely had selfish motives. This kind of temptation was far too great.

Regardless of whether it was Tyrant Physiques that appeared in the Turtle Race, Barbarian Dragons, or even divine physiques born in the Swan Race, they were all incomparably powerful. Now, two of them had assembled together and fused to form the Tyrant Divine Physique and it was more or less accurate to say that seeing such a being was rare! On the other hand, Wu Lunhui was from the outstandingly famous Humanoid Monarch lineage. When multiple humanoid kings existed side by side in the most ancient period, they had almost controlled a myriad of races before. This was even more shocking!

Ouyang Feng felt bitterly disappointed and thought that men of today were sadly degenerates. Some people were actually thinking about the benefits they could obtain from the both of them at this juncture. They were extremely greedy and hateful for wanting to obtain it.

“Are you guys only targeting the both of us? Let me ask you guys, have you searched Luo Shirong’s soul?” Ouyang Feng asked indignantly.

At this moment, ninety percent of the people had strange expressions on their faces as they inwardly nodded to themselves. At the very least, everyone felt that this should be slightly fairer because they too felt that Yan Luo from the Corpse Race was siding with the emissary from the Primal Chaotic Deity Palace a little excessively.

“After Luo Shirong returned and had a secret meeting with us, he took the initiative to let us look at his soul candidly,” said Jin Lin.

He was a Daoist from the Dao Race which was reckoned to be the first or second most powerful race in the whole universe, so the weight of his words was naturally not to be taken lightlight.

Everyone was taken aback and their expressions changed; they even heaved a sigh of relief when they looked at Luo Shirong. But when they looked at Chu Feng and Ouyang Feng, it was obvious that they had strengthened their guard against them.

Even Chu Feng and Ouyang Feng were taken aback when they heard this news. Luo Shirong actually dared to do that?!

“This fellow is really ruthless!” Ouyang Feng said to Chu Feng. After that, he came to realize something again. That wasn’t right. There was a huge problem in all this. Chu Feng and him distinctly saw this person colluding with the living beings in this world and carry out a transaction with them with absolute certainty.

Chu Feng and Ouyang Feng looked toward Daoist Jin Lin, Shi Hong, Ying Wudi, and Yuan Shicheng in a flash. Could it be that this bunch of people had also reached certain terms and were colluding with Luo Shirong?

The duo then looked at Qin Luoyin, Vermillion Bird Fairy, Winged Godhead, Superfluous Combat Physique and Ying Zhexian and realized that these people were also staring at them. They were crowding around Chu Feng and Ouyang Feng. and it was obvious what their attitude was.

“Are you guys in cahoots with him, or is it to say that he’s deceived you guys?” Ouyang Feng was suspicious because he felt that this situation was far too serious.

Chu Feng thought for a moment before he said, “There are some methods in which one can mask the truth. Even I can fool myself if I were to develop a false item in my soul. You guys might have fallen into his trap.”

He had switched to the path of cultivating halfway through his life and hadn’t cultivated since he was a child. As such, he once used the photon computer and frantically overdosed on various matters regarding evolution after he could access the interstellar network.

This also caused him to engage in a great amount of light reading, so he understood many anecdotes that people didn’t know about.

He wasn’t just saying things without basis. There truly was an ancient technique like this. Even if one were to search another’s soul, they could be deceived.

This was especially the case since Luo Shirong dared to do such certain and adequate preparation. In addition to that, the strength he was showing off was that of a quasi-golden arhat. His soulforce was powerful and it was even better to deploy such tricks.

Yan Luo from the Corpse Race had a cold smile on his face as he said, “Oh. At the very least, Brother Luo took the initiative to let us search his soul and is frank enough to do so. But what about you and Tyrant Godhead? You guys use all sorts of excuses and aren’t willing to cooperate. I think that if you want to prove your innocence, the premise is that you have to first be magnanimous enough to open up your spirit light so that we can take a good look at it.”

“You ought to be a bit more frank. This concerns a matter of great importance. Let us all take a good look at your souls,” Superfluous Combat Physique also said.

“On what basis?” Ouyang Feng’s expression was as gloomy as water. His divine beast martial arts and divine soul techniques were all secrets that weren’t passed down to anyone, so how could he reveal them?

“I think Luo Shirong let you guys search his soul because the divine skills and breathing technique scriptures located in the depths of his spirit light ball has definitely never been opened before, right?” Chu Feng coldly asked.

“That’s right. An ancestor in the Primal Chaotic Deity Palace sealed it up, and it can’t be disturbed. Once the seal breaks, my body and soul will be wiped out entirely.”

This was where this race’s biggest secret was at. In order to ensure that their breathing techniques and divine skills weren’t divulged, the powerhouses of that race would set up a spiritual restricted area!

If one were to forcibly attack the spirit light ball of someone from the Deity Race, the latter’s soul would explode and they would die. No matter what, this could ensure that the scriptures within the Race weren’t divulged.

“From what you’re saying, Brother Wu and Brother Ou Ye are rouge cultivators. The elders in your race didn’t bless your soul and have never sealed your scriptures and divine skill, right?”

Luo Shirong smiled in a somewhat profound manner.

After he said all that, a bright radiance flashed across the eyes of not only the most passive Yan Luo and Superfluous Combat Physique, but also that of Jin Lin, Shi Hong, Ying Wudi and Ying Shicheng.

The Tyrant Godhead and Humanoid Monarch lineage had too many secrets in the depths of their souls. If they really were to penetrate the duo’s souls, they simply didn’t dare to imagine the benefits they would gain in doing so!

This was tempting. Maybe the secrets probed from the duo’s souls were even greater than the so-called fortune in this world!

“Oh, the two of you, if you guys don’t have a guilty conscience, open your souls up for everyone to have a good look at it and prove your innocence,” siad Luo Shirong as he urgently wanted to make a move.

At this moment, not only were the dozens of powerhouses tempted, but the others were as well. Many people stared at Chu Feng and Ouyang Feng with fervent gazes.

Toad was furious and wanted to slap Luo Shirong and a few people to death right away.

“I dare say that he hid the truth in his soul within the soul region blessed by the Deity Palace’s ancestor. As such, you guys can’t see it because he used a trick to deceive you guys.”

Superfluous Combat Physique impatiently said, “Don’t talk nonsense. If you want to prove your innocence, let us search your soul and everything will be as rocks appearing when the water recedes.”

“That’s right. What a simple matter.” Luo Shirong faintly smiled as he was increasingly gentle and calm.

Chu Feng’s eyes were icy-cold. He surmised that the other party had the Clairaudient divine skill and could eavesdrop and some conversation Toad and him had. He might have seen through their identity, so he insisted on searching their souls because he knew they definitely wouldn’t cooperate.

“Motherf*cker! Grandfather and Chu Feng has sent word to you and braved life’s dangers for you like this. We crossed the region where the beast stampede was and are covered in dust from fighting all the way back here. Not only are you guys not grateful or seek to repay our kindness, you even targeted us like this. Take a hike, you arrogant idlers!”

Ouyang Feng stared at the Superfluous Combat Physique and Yan Luo from the Corpse Race. He felt that these people were acting as the villainous tiger’s accomplice; they were so abominable to work together with Luo Shirong.

He even suspected that these people had colluded with Luo Shirong a long time ago and found out the truth!

Chu Feng’s voice was very chilly as he maintained a sufficient level of cool-headedness without anger as he said, “I first want to explain that searching my soul is humiliating to my dignity and a sign that you are holding me in contempt so it can’t be done. Next, I want to say that I speak the truth with a clear conscience. We came back here to inform all of you about this. We want to save the majority of you so that Luo Shirong won’t sell you guys off. Now, I’ve completed my mission. Following this, forgive me for not accompanying you guys since you love being distrustful.”

Chu Feng was calm in his heart. There was nothing more he could say. The worst that could happen was them duelling, wasn’t it? At present, he wasn’t afraid of anyone!

“I’m maintaining a neutral attitude now. I need both parties to prove yourselves further,” said Ying Wudi at this crucial moment in time.

Ying Zhexian backed him up. Even though she was exceptionally charming with immortal qi swirling around her, she was very opinionated. She was graceful and her spirit waves were gentle, but she was very firm as she said, “It’s best if the two of you don’t resist because it will only take us a moment to imprison the both of you!”

“It’s reasonable.” Yuan Shicheng nodded.

But the Superfluous Combat Physique and Yan Luo from the Corpse Race shook their heads as an expression of their opposition.

“Brother Luo has already opened his divine soul to us so that we can search it. For fairness’ sake, Wu Lunhui and Ou Ye have to do so too!”

“That’s right! We have to ensure that fairness is maintained!”

These people insisted on that and weren’t willing to let it go.

Ouyang Feng gritted his teeth as a surge of cold air rose in his heart. He surmised that if they allowed these few people to search his soul, they would most likely send the both of them to the frontlines during crucial moments. Even if they didn’t die as a result of that, they would sustain serious injuries too.

Luo Shirong was calm and unruffled in the midst of chaos as he said, “It’s but a trivial matter? In reality, you guys need not be afraid of divulging your breathing scriptures and divine skills at all. That is because when we return to our own universe, we shouldn’t be able to bring these memories back. Didn’t the seniors from Dameng Pure Land mention it before? Besides, we can increase our overall strength now if everyone from the same orthodoxy were to obtain a few divine skills and soul secrets.”

For him to say it in that manner, it tickled the will of the people even more. They had the chance to clearly understand the soul secrets that the Tyrant Godhead and Wu Lunhui who possessed the Humanoid Monarch lineage had on the spot.

Chu Feng was increasingly cold and detached as he said, “I don’t want to talk nonsense. What happens next depends on the choice you guys make. In reality, it’s not that serious because worst comes to worst, we’ll just have a battle. I would’ve just killed a few nauseating people and return to my original world in the end. You will also be unaware about what happened and may even want to bow and bend the knee to my Humanoid Monarch Physique. You’ll rope me in on my own accord and remember me for my good!”

“Outrageous!” Yan Luo, Superfluous Combat Physique, and a few other people revealed chilling killing intent.

“Everyone, there is no need for words anymore. Let me take him down.” Luo Shirong laughed heartily and her was considerably conceited as he walked towards them. While he was doing so, he glanced at Ying Zhexian and the rest. When he saw that they didn’t really respond to what he was doing, his smile grew wider.

“Do you think that you can kill me as a quasi-golden arhat, and even as an old genius at the golden body realm? Dream on!” Chu Feng didn’t have a hint of fear.

After that, he looked at everyone and said, “I’m a person who plays my part very well. I’ve done and said all that I have to. To anyone who doesn’t treat me amicably or dares to attack me, I’m sorry, but I will not hesitate in attacking you!”

Bang!

In a split second, everyone was intimidated by his violently fluctuation divine soul on the spot!

At this moment, the little Daoist in that mysterious mist within Qin Luoyin’s multicolored soul armor was doing all he could to transmit his voice to Qin Luoyin. “My evil mother, why aren’t you doing anything to save my father? He’s my biological father!”

But he was toiling away far too much and transmitted his voice out of the mist with much difficulty. He had immediately shouted out more than ten times!

Qin Luoyin simply didn’t dare to believe her own ears for a moment. She was incomparably shocked as she roughly heard part of the disjointed words being said.

Biological father? Here? She almost cried out loudly!
