The Sacred Ruins

Chapter 827



“Jin Lin!” Ying Wudi shouted out in anger. The one who now felt that this was the most unbearable thing was him. One may know a person for a long time without understanding their true nature. He had rather good interactions with Jin Lin and had known each other for many years, so they were considered to be good friends.

Daoist Jin Lin normally wouldn’t contend for anything or proud; he had a considerably laissez-faire character. He was absolutely excellent in terms of his character and nature, yet such a modest person of noble character was actually so shameless and feminine as he had unexpectedly launched an attack with the intent to kill on him.

!!

Besides, they had experienced trials and tribulations together before too. When one party faced a problem, the other would back them up. They worked together very well and tursted each other very much.

“Baldy, bald head, Amitabha! You self-centered show-off!” The big black yak was unsatisfied too as he roared. His soul that had split up into pieces recombined behind Yellow Ox who was protecting him.

He was terribly angry and gloomy too. He came here out of the kindness of his heart to save them, yet they bit the hand that fed them and attacked him. If he had a physical body, his flesh would have definitely been destroyed.

Even if he was in his soul light state, he had sustained severe injuries now. Shi Hong’s golden seal was extremely terrifying. A normal person would have probably blown up from his attack.

The big black yak was now the Innocuous Demonic Yak Godhead; he was known as Innocuous because he could reduce the injury sustained.

The group of people from Mount Eternal exploded in the palace halls as someone had mounted a sneak attack on a portion of them. They were seriously injured and their souls almost returned immediately!

“You’re as ungrateful as the snake in Aesop’s Tales of the snake and the farmer. We save you guys out of the kindness of our hearts, yet you turned around and nipped us in the bud in the end!” Ying Wudi had an ashen look on his face as he was vomiting soul blood.

He was the one who suggested that they come to save people this time, yet he was the one who endangered everyone and trapped them in such dangerous circumstances.

“Apologies, Brother Ying. I’m actually doing this for your own good too. I want to send you right back to Dameng Pure Land because if I don’t do so, I’m afraid you’ll be involved in an accident.”

When Little Daoist heard this, he was the first to jump up and said, “Jin Lin, you traitor! You’re a person of no particular talent! I, Grandfather Dao, told you before that I will expel you from the Dao Race. Go and find a pool and stay there by yourself!”

He wasn’t the only one who felt that way; the others also felt that Daoist Jin Lin was fake. He bore such an attitude even after he had chopped someone in half at the waist. It was aggravating and hateful.

“Brother Ying, we were forced to do so too,” said Shi Hong too.

“What’s the reason?!” Ying Wudi’s soul light flickered and violently pulsed as he felt like he was going to explode out of anger.

“When we initially sought shelter from Quasi-sage Teng Huang, we mentioned that Daoist Friend Chu Feng has a Soul Bell that can withstand the vortex connected to our world and can also detain soul light particles,” said Shi Hong. They had sold Chu Feng off a year ago and threw themselves to be under Quasi-sage Teng Huang. If they didn’t do so, why would he grant them divine beast blood as the fifth-great grandson of a divine beast? Offering him breathing techniques and the mutant technique alone wasn’t enough. In this world, only the mutant technique was where one had hope to rapidly emerge in power.

Teng Huang appeared to be gentle on the surface, but he was thriving with ambition and had lofty aspirations. He had always wanted to charge out of this world and enter the so-called foreign realm.

From his point of view, that Soul Bell might be where his hope was at. It could traverse the wall between universes and bring his soul light along with it so that he could enter the world Jin Lin and Shi Hong came from.

As such, he made Jin Lin, Shi Hong and the Winged Godhead take not of Chu Feng. Once they discovered him, they were to kill him without exception or discussion and seize the Soul Bell. If they couldn’t deal with him, they were to inform him immediately.

“Jin Lin, Shi Hong, even though you guys explain it like that, from my point of view, you guys are still rather shameless. You sold Chu Feng off on the first day and have the nerve to ask him for help today. Without us, you guys would have been annihilated not too long ago.” Ying Wudi burned with rage.

Daoist Jin Lin nodded and said, “I might have felt that we will forget everything that happened here in the end and won’t be able to recall anything. As such, I opened that cage holding the devil captivity in my heart and can no longer control myself.”

Based on his explanation, the best decision was to send Ying Wudi and the rest off like this. If not, they might not be able to leave when the Quasi-sage Teng Huang seized the Soul Bell.

After all, this Soul Bell could forcibly retain everyone.

“Brother Ying, I would advise you to do away with yourself. Turn into soul rain and return from here on out,” Daoist Jin Lin advised.

At this moment, Quasi-sage finally spoke, “You guys are overly anxious. If you cooperate with me, how can I harm you guys? You guys will stay by my side like Jin Lin and the Winged Godhead; you guys will work for the Flying Dragon Snake Abyss. I can’t say for sure, but my Flying Dragon Snake Race might enter your universe with you in the future.”

“Is the Flying Dragon Snake considered to be a divine beast?” Old Donkey softly asked Manchurian Tiger. This was one of the seldom times that he had a courageous spirit and wasn’t terrified.

“It should be considered to be one. I, Little Daoist, ate it in those days. Its texture really isn’t that bad. Its even tastier than the meat of a black dog after it has been stewed!”

Áctually, the main thing was that the both of them felt that Yaoyao should be following them, so wouldn’t killing a Quasi-sage be an easy task?

They only dared to be so audacious because of that.

If not, based on the duo’s character, they would definitely be the ones who would be the most afraid of death. It would even be possible for them to pretend to defect as time drew near.

Evidently, they were overthinking things since Yaoyao went to chase after the crippled fox and didn’t follow after them immediately.

“Hehe...” As Teng Huang opened his eyes as he sat on the throne in the palace halls constructed out of rough stones being piled up, cold electricity radiated all around. With a faintly cold smile on his face, he said, “Those who dare to speak blasphemously about sages are courting death!”

Clank!

At this moment, Chu Feng brandished a black Soul Bell and grabbed it in his hands immediately as he said, “You want this?”

“Hand it over!” Teng Huang coldly said. The tone he used was firm yet overbearing. He was unquestionably looking down at Chu Feng from above.

“I’ve recited an incantation to activate and refine this Soul Bell. It is very unique and it is also an ultimate treasure, but it is also very weak too; there is a self-destructive law in it. I can activate this law in the time it takes me to think.”

“Someone who is like a mole cricket and an ant dares to threaten me too?!” Teng Huang said coldly. The temperature in the entire main hall plummeted and many people present trembled with fear from the sacred might it exuded. They shivered as they couldn’t endure it at all.

Even if he had an extremely strong will, the soul light stemming from his instinct was still trembling!

Even though the word “sage” was attached to it and he was a Quasi-sage, the strength of a Quasi-sage could overturn the sky and earth too. A Quasi-sage was of a much higher level than someone at the golden body realm and both things couldn’t be mentioned on equal terms.

Boom!

The Soul Bell produced a dull sound. Ripples and Yang qi spread out at the same time to protect Chu Feng.

“In that universe of ours, anyone who said such words to me are all dead and they even died very tragically. To be slapped to death by someone who you call a mole cricket and an ant would really be laughable,” Chu Feng said.

Teng Huang laughed grimly, making his intent of ridicule clear as he said, “Even if a true Quasi-sage came, they would be nothing to look at before someone like me who possesses divine blood, much less a tiny trash like you who I can slap to death without extra trouble.”

“Save your nonsense! Let my people leave and I will satisfy your wish. I’ll give you the Soul Bell and I won’t activate its Law of Destruction!”

“Who do you think you are? You dare to threaten me?!” Teng Huang looked down at Chu Feng with a ghastly look in his eyes. There was an incomparably chilly look in his eyes that resembled sword light.

Buzz!

In a split second, the black Soul Bell trembled and energy flared up as though it was going to explode at any moment.

Naturally, there wasn’t the so-called Law of Destruction but Chu Feng was only putting on an attitude. He believed that the other party would definitely prefer to believe that it existed and wasn’t willing to risk the dangers since they were so conscious about the Soul Bell.

“Scum, get lost!” berated Teng Huang as he gazed at Ying Wudi, the big black yak, Ouyang Feng, Qin Luoyin and Young Lady Xi.

“I...” Young Lady Xi’s small face was stretched taut as she was at the peak of her fury. Who would dare to humiliate her in this way when they were in the Yang Realm? Naturally, she admitted that she wasn’t powerful enough, but she could find her grandfather. So what if the other party was a divine beast at the Quasi-sage realm? Her grandfather could jab the other party to death immediately with a single finger!

At the same time, she was deeply regretful as well. Why didn’t she bring the Heavenly Umbrella in with her?

Ying Xiaoxiao also sobbed. She was so old, yet she had never felt so wronged in all her life.

On the other hand, Ying Wudi had an extremely embarrassed look on his face. If he didn’t want to uphold justice so much today and be insistent on coming to save people, these matters practically wouldn’t occur at all. He blamed himself very much.

“Be good. Leave, you guys!” Chu Feng tousled Ying Xiaoxiao’s dazzling silver hair as he asked everyone to leave.

“You’re worthy to be my father. Little Daoist will avenge Father in twenty years!” Whoosh! Little Daoist disappeared from this place in a fairly decisive move.

After that, he let out a shout and said, “Don’t be garrulous! Don’t let my father’s efforts go to waste!”

Ouyang Feng puffed out his cheeks as he really wanted to spit his saliva out at that silhouette sitting on the throne. But in the end, he held himself back. These people came over and hugged Chu Feng one after another for a moment before all of them withdrew.

“Senior Teng Huang, that’s not dependable. Based on our understanding, this Chu Feng is known as a demo; he is vicious and merciless. After you release those people, he might have other tricks up his sleeve once he’s not being held by the elbow.”

Chu Feng looked at him and said, “Jin Lin, you said you opened the cage in your heart and released a devil after you came to this world when you felt at a loss for a moment. But from what I can tell, you simply don’t have a good bone in you!”

Chu Feng stared at him with a ghastly look in his eyes. At this kind of moment, Jin Lin was still reminding the opposing party and wasn’t of a benevolent kind.

“Since we are now standing as enemies, everything I’m doing is normal,” Jin Lin replied. He was tall and skinny and seemed to adopt the Daoist doctrine of inaction while also standing aloof from worldly affairs. But now, he was infuriating and Chu Feng wished he could kill him right away.

“Princess Yaoyao!”

“Elder Sister!”

After the big black yak, Young Lady Xi and the others escaped out of there and ran along the original path, they launched a spiritual roar at a specific direction as they beckoned Yaoyao in hopes that she could rush over in the first instances to save Chu Feng.

“First Mother, where are you? Aren’t you going to hurry up and come out?!”

“Venerable Mother, hurry up! Hurry up and show yourself at once! Come forth and save us! If not, my father is going to be killed!”

At this moment, the Little Daoist shouted out. That really resembled the roar of a lion as his voice was grand and transmitted especially far away.

Everyone had strange expressions on their faces while they simultaneously felt nervous. They secretly guessed that this Little Daoist would most likely have his buttocks beaten up into eighteen parts in a moment.

The divine beast, Teng Huang, looked at Chu Feng coldly and emotionlessly in the stone palace halls like a tremendous giant looking down at an insect. That kind of expression in its eyes wasn’t too friendly; it was entirely a look of contempt.

“Hand it over!” He stretched his hand out.

“Sure, I’ll give it to you!”

When Chu Feng said this, he grabbed the black Soul Bell and suddenly struck it the same time he handed it over in front of him.

Zzt!

The Soul Bell previously enveloped a green leathered calabash which now revealed itself and violently spurted terrifying grey matter.

“Idiot! You’re only wielding a divine object and I’m sitting here unwaveringly. You can’t kill me either...” But just as his words reached this point, Teng Huang let out a blood-curdling screech all of a sudden as he was incomparably horrified. He knocked the stone palace halls into pieces with a bang in a hurry like a stray dog. His face was deathly white and he was almost scared to death.

“God-tiered strange matter! Dammit...” He wanted to flee, but it was already too late. The grey matter had already tangled itself around him and corroded him.

The most terrifying thing was that once this kind of gray matter came out, it was even scarier than Chu Feng imagined. It seemed as though this kind of organism was particularly sensitive and rapacious toward gods and divine beasts. It would identify such life forms clearly and abruptly kill them of its own accord at extremely high speed.

Even if Teng Huang was previously on guard and fled in the first instances of it happening, it didn’t necessarily mean he could avoid it either.

“Ah...” Teng Huang let out a long mournful howl and charged high up into the sky, but he fell down right away and smashed into a mountainous region. He transformed into an enormous Flying Dragon Snake that had a thick yet intimidating torso and pulverised many mountain tops.

To his surprise, Chu Feng saw that the gray matter turned into a silhouette. It was lying on the Flying Dragon Snake’s body as it gnawed and bit it. In addition to that, the silhouette suddenly looked back right at that moment in time. When it saw Chu Feng, it actually grinned in an incomparably frigid and malevolent manner that was even scarier than a malicious spirit.

At this moment, Chu Feng felt a cold shiver run down his spine as he was horrified. He really didn’t know whether it was a right or wrong move on his part to use the green-leathered calabash to collect so much strange grey matter and bring it back with him.

But now, he felt that it was very useful.

“I said it before, those who speak to me in that manner are all dead. You... divine beast? Quasi-sage? You’re no big deal,” Chu Feng coldly said.
