Chapter 1506: Chapter 1506: Strange Death
This was the second ti Feng Jun heard soone say that the Mountain and River Seal is an imitation of the Overthrowing Heaven Seal.
The first ti, Master Sumiao was just speculating, but this ti, the Big Boss clearly pointed it out.
However, at this mont, he wasn’t in the mood to think about this issue, he just yelled angrily in his mind, “Stop babbling, can’t you see we’re in the middle of a battle?”
The Big Boss, however, continued babbling leisurely, “If you can be taken down by such a weakling, then… better die early.”
Really is a weakling, average cultivation level, poor cultivation technique, poor magical treasure, couldn’t even withstand a blast of Divine Sense.
With a strike from Feng Jun’s Divine Sense, Zhu Gaoyang staggered imdiately; he managed to be a Sword Cultivator, holding a bit of Qi Force, his Flying Sword still continuing to pursue Feng Jun but lost its sharpness, wobbling like it was playing drunken sword.
Then the Immortal Binding Rope easily tied him up, the Flying Sword finally fell to the ground.
Feng Jun lifted his hand to place a restriction, took out a Soul-searching Talisman, “You don’t want to talk properly… fine, let’s go with soul search then.”
He wasn’t against using the Soul-searching Talismans, he carried quite a few himself, but before this, he was used to having others perform the soul search for him, especially Master Qu Jianlei, who had thods for soul searching, not even needing a Soul-searching Talisman.
As long as it didn’t exceed three tis a day, it should be fine, and it was just the first ti today.
Upon hearing this, Zhu Gaoyang was terrified for a mont. His soul actually wasn’t as weak as Feng Jun thought, but Feng Jun’s soul was just too strong—how many Sword Cultivators could have weak souls?
He didn’t even think that after being soul searched, he would necessarily beco an idiot—a damaged soul seed more likely.
But… he didn’t want his soul to be damaged either, because if it’s damaged, his foundation would be ruined. Although he probably had no hope of achieving Golden Core, he still had so ideas. Rather than having his foundation damaged while conscious, it might be better to beco an idiot instead.
So he quickly responded, “Don’t search my soul, just ask anything… but my friend, my family truly has a Golden Core Ancestor.”
“Golden Core Ancestor? Ha,” Feng Jun smirked disdainfully, “Let just ask you, where is Wu Mingrui?”
“We’ve got him under control,” Zhu Gaoyang answered straightforwardly, “He befriended Evil Cultivators, broke the law.”
“Evil Cultivators?” Feng Jun frowned, “How is that possible? He’s just a poor Combat Cultivator, does he have the capacity to befriend Evil Cultivators?”
“How could it not be possible?” Zhu Gaoyang raised an eyebrow, “Poverty breeds trickery while wealth fosters virtue, if he truly had Spirit Stones, why would he need to befriend Evil Cultivators?”
Oh damn… Feng Jun was at a loss for words, hesitated a mont before asking, “Evidence?”
“Evidence… there isn’t any,” Zhu Gaoyang seed a bit flustered, then imdiately shouted, “But Yinsha’s masters have spoken, yes, and Master Chao Sheng confird it too.”
“I see,” Feng Jun gave a pat to his forehead, Wu Mingrui was still being implicated by him. He wanted to ask about Wu Mingrui’s whereabouts, but given the unclear situation, rescuing him could lead to a full-scale assault by the Yinsha Sect, which he might not be able to hold off, endangering instead of helping him.
After pondering for a mont, he spoke in a deep voice, “Where are the people from Yinsha Sect?”
“I don’t know,” Zhu Gaoyang shook his head, cautiously glanced at him, “Maybe they’ve left, maybe they’re hiding sowhere… how would we know how these prestigious sects operate?”
“Prestigious sect?” Feng Jun sneered, “Just a bunch of despicable scum.”
At this mont, he also realized that whether Wu Mingrui lived or died wasn’t sothing he could protect. This person was connected to him, but that was it, Yinsha Sect only wanted to use him to uncover more of his social connections.
If he really wanted to protect him, he’d need to keep him by his side. Otherwise, how could he stop the Yinsha Sect’s sches?
But keeping Wu Mingrui by his side, not to ntion whether he had the capability to protect a mid-stage Qi Refining cultivator, just consider this—what about the rest of the Wu family?
Hearing his bold remarks, Zhu Gaoyang cautiously looked at him again, in his gaze even showing a hint of—fear?
Feng Jun cleared his throat lightly, “Bring Wu Mingrui over, and the others… if he’s dead, your Zhu family will pay for it.”
Zhu Gaoyang’s face turned pale instantly, “He’s not dead, dear friend… my Zhu family really has a Golden Core Ancestor!”
“The Zhu family has a Golden Core Ancestor?” Feng Jun laughed disdainfully, “It’s not like I haven’t killed one or two Golden Core Ancestors before!”
With a thud, the high-tier Qi Refining cultivator with a severed arm fell to the ground—purely out of fear.
Soon after, Wu Mingrui was brought over, his body riddled with wounds, clearly subjected to brutal torture.
Upon seeing Feng Jun, his eyes imdiately lit up, “Mountain Master Feng, you’ve finally co!”
Yet the next mont, he shivered, “Mountain Master Feng, Yinsha is setting up traps to target you, that’s why they captured people connected to you. You must leave quickly.”
Feng Jun’s expression turned rather peculiar, “They captured you to achieve what purpose… to hunt ?”
“I’m not sure about the hunt, but they’ve got their eyes on you,” Wu Mingrui said excitedly. “You better leave quickly. Once Yinsha confirms your whereabouts, they’ll co at you swiftly, and it will be too late to leave by then.”
Feng Jun thought for a mont and asked in a deep voice, “Who did this to you?”
“Ah, it doesn’t matter,” Wu Mingrui sighed helplessly. “It’s simply a matter of ability, there’s nothing more to say, really.”
This was a true combat cultivator, one who took responsibility bravely and wouldn’t want to trouble anyone else.
“It’s not like you to say that,” Feng Jun replied coldly. He couldn’t protect the other forever, but he could stand up for him this once. “Because of , you’ve been wronged. This isn’t about your incompetence; it’s about disrespecting . Who did it, really?”
Yet, what rendered him speechless was that Wu Mingrui’s wounds were inflicted by his brother-in-law.
Even more speechless was the fact that Wu Mingrui’s wife was from the Zhu Family Manor…
His wife was a collateral relative of the Zhu Family Manor, never favored in her clan, which is why she married this poor combat cultivator.
Wife Wu had married beneath her status and was always strong-willed at ho until Wu Mingrui found a connection to Mount Zhige, regaining a little of his manly dignity.
Therefore, no one remained from the Wu Family because those on Wu’s side fled, avoiding disaster. Another significant portion was taken away by Wu Mingrui’s wife, while Wu Mingrui’s brother-in-law personally interrogated him — Who still had any ties with Feng Jun?
The brother-in-law’s insight was really lacking, or rather his intel network wasn’t up-to-date. He was aware that the Mountain Master of Zhige was a very formidable figure, but he thought… no matter how formidable you are, can you overpower the Yinsha Sect?
This was indeed a tragicody played out in the human world.
And what embarrassed Feng Jun even further was: Wu Mingrui’s father-in-law was… Zhu Qingtian’s brother!
This guy not only had a bizarre na but also a peculiar niece — even though she was an illegitimate child.
Feng Jun didn’t know what to do, “I killed your father-in-law’s brother, do you resent ?”
Well, if you resent , so be it. I’ll give you a chance for revenge — because you’re caught in my affair.
But it will be just one chance, at most. I’m not about to play the Holy Mother here.
Still, Wu Mingrui’s reaction was also quite peculiar. He smiled bitterly and said, “Whether it’s love or hate, I have no standing to speak. But Mountain Master Feng, you’ve pursued this matter to such extent because of . I feel… working for you is sothing I don’t regret.”
Feng Jun felt sothing was amiss, but before he could react, Wu Mingrui slamd his head into the corner of a stone table, his brains splattered, clearly about to die.
He spoke with a bitter smile, “I have no son, only a daughter, nad Wu, Wu…”
Due to his grave injuries, he ultimately couldn’t reveal his daughter’s na.
At this mont, Feng Jun could have used soul-searching to extract the girl’s na, but he truly had no interest— I’ve addressed this interference arising from my association with you till now, and I’ve done right by you.
The Heavenly Dao circulates in cycles, and this world inherently owes no one anything.
Yet seeing him dead, Feng Jun couldn’t help but feel a surge of violent tendencies. He scanned around, furrowing his brows slightly, “Now that Wu Mingrui is dead, why haven’t you all gone to die with him?”
His violent aura surged, causing even Zhu Gaoyang to shiver involuntarily, “Mountain Master Feng, we… we were just following orders. Wu Mingrui’s affair was his own family matter, and my Zhu Family never coerced him in any way.”
“Have your family ancestor co to see ,” Feng Jun stated rather bluntly.
He could basically ascertain that the Yinsha Sect orchestrated this to cause him trouble. In fact, the Yinsha Sect’s main forces had already withdrawn from this area long ago; otherwise, regardless of his own premonitions or the big boss’s perceptions, there wouldn’t have been no reaction at all.
Zhu Gaoyang was taken aback, not even certain if his family’s ancestor was still alive, “Well, I can try.”
“It’s not a matter of trying,” Feng Jun chuckled coldly, “it must be done, or I’ll eradicate your entire clan… You can try to test if you don’t believe it.”
Then he paused, looked up at a certain direction in the air, and smiled slightly, “This is my decision, do you have any objections?”
In that direction, space rippled, and an old man appeared, speaking expressionlessly, “Mountain Master Feng is indeed extraordinarily talented, can you take one of my moves?”
“Ancestor!” Zhu Gaoyang exclaid, then his knees weakened, and he knelt to the ground, “My incompetence as a descendant has troubled you, Ancestor… Please, capture this villain!”
Feng Jun completely ignored him and instead looked at the elder in the air with a smile, “With such incompetent descendants, do you have any objections if I wipe out your entire family?”
“No objections. Such incompetent descendants, indeed, are a disgrace,” the Zhu Family Ancestor also smiled, “In fact, I should’ve died long ago, having stubbornly lived for a thousand one hundred years. But young man… I really still have one last hit.”
“One last hit… then deliver it,” Feng Jun laughed, “A re initial Golden Core Stage, just how strong can your last hit be? But for Wu Mingrui’s sake, I still want to ask you, do you know why Master Hanpo fled?”
