Chapter 456 - 456 Impossible, absolutely impossible!
Chapter 456 Impossible, absolutely impossible!
“Impossible!”
“Absolutely impossible!”
“He can’t be Ye Feng, wasn’t it said that he ascended to the World of Eternity? How could he still be in the mortal realm?”
Qian Qing’s heart completely disbelieved the identity of Ye Feng.
After all, it had been nearly three hundred years since Ye Feng left Earth.
Moreover, the news of Ye Feng’s ascension to the World of Eternity had come from the Depths of the Central Star Domain’s Starry Sky—he couldn’t doubt it.
Therefore, Qian Qing developed another speculation in his heart. Maybe this was a trap set by Jiu Xiao and the others for themselves, or rather, for the faction of strong believers in Zhou Feng within the Holy Institute.
After all, he knew that whether it was Jiu Xiao or Yang Wudi and their fellow powerhouses, they had all risen to heights by basking in Ye Feng’s radiance at the outset.
Now that he and his group had risen to power under God Lord Zhou Feng’s mantle, it was certain they would face suppression from the others.
It must be so!
Qian Qing instantly saw through the complexities and his gaze at Jiu Xiao turned less respectful.
“My lord, may I ask if Lord Jiekong is aware of this matter?”
At that moment, Qian Qing posed his question to Jiu Xiao.
The latter instantly understood Qian Qing’s thoughts and, without exposing them, nodded instead.
“I had informed him before we set off; he should be arriving shortly,” Jiu Xiao replied.
“Let’s discuss the current matter first. I heard that the entire Long Family has been annihilated. Can anyone explain this to me?”
Jiu Xiao looked towards the crowd of onlookers from Jiang City.
“My lord, perhaps I can shed some light on this for you,” said a portly middle-aged powerhouse as he stepped forward, causing the complexions of all the Zhou Family members to change.
This man was known to be among the ones in Jiang City who were closest to the Long Family. His Cultivation Level was not quite like Zhou Wenlong’s, who had nearly stepped into the Emperor Realm, but as a Level Six expert of the Heavenly Saint Realm, he was quite renowned in Jiang City.
Even Zhou Wenlong’s countenance shifted slightly with worry when he saw the man step forward.
“My lord, it’s like this,” he began.
“The Long Family, under the guise of the God Lord’s authority, has been continuously oppressing the Zhou Family because the Zhou Family Head, Zhou Wenlong, had connections with the Saint Lord. So those people kept finding reasons to trouble the Zhou Family.”
“The Zhou Family has always exercised extreme restraint until this generation’s Genius, Zhou Xiaofeng, was harmed by the Long Family, resulting in his Cultivation Level being destroyed, with no chance of cultivating ever again. Incensed, Zhou Family Head finally went to the Long Family to demand an explanation.”
“As a result, the Long Family blamed the victim first, slandering Zhou Family Head for attacking them and planning to use the opportunity to kill him, leading to what followed.”
“If you do not believe me, my lord, feel free to inquire around Jiang City. The Zhou Family is famously known for never oppressing the common people, whereas the Long Family has done plenty of outrageous deeds over the years under Zhou Feng’s name.”
“Of course, I too was coerced into participating in some of them, and I am about to make amends. I only hope, my lord, that you will give me a chance.”
The members of the Zhou Family looked at the fat middle-aged man who spoke so self-righteously, and they were momentarily stunned.
They had seen shameless people before, but never someone this shameless.
Zhao Feng wiped the cold sweat off his forehead, feeling a sudden bout of anxiety. Fortunately, he had only used the Long Family’s power to his advantage and had not committed any heinous crimes that would incite the wrath of heaven and the resentment of people. With the Long Family taking the lead, at worst, he would be considered a cheerleader, with lesser sins. Even if he suffered some physical hardship, it wouldn’t cost him his life.
Listening to Zhao Feng’s words, a sharp light flickered in the eyes of both Jiu Xiao and Yang Wudi, as did those of the other strong believers from the Holy Institute standing beside them.
Jiu Xiao’s gaze then landed on Qian Qing and Jiu Lingkong.
“Is what he said correct?”
The indifferent voice rose in everyone’s ears, causing these high and mighty rulers of the Holy Institute to shiver subconsciously.
Even Qian Qing couldn’t withstand Jiu Xiao’s questioning.
He might be indifferent to Yang Wudi, but he could not ignore the questions from Jiu Xiao.
As one’s cultivation progressed, the strength difference between each minor realm became immensely great, not to mention an entire major realm.
“Jiu Lingkong, answer me!”
The voice of Jiu Xiao sounded like a death knell, causing Jiu Lingkong’s body to tremble.
“Essentially true!”
“Boom!”
The next second, Jiu Lingkong’s body was vaporized in front of everyone.
The deputy headmaster of the Holy Institute, Jiu Xiao would execute him on the spot!
“Hiss!”
The sudden turn of events almost scared Zhao Feng to the point of wetting himself; he even felt his legs shaking, just a little bit more and he might have burst forth like a fountain.
“Motherf*cker, luckily I wasn’t wholly corrupt back then.”
Cold sweat streamed down Zhao Feng’s face. Even Heavenly Saint Realm experts were no different from ants in the eyes of these beings.
This gave him a sense of sheer survival from the jaws of death.
“Well killed!”
“Killed too well!”
“Scum that tarnish the reputation of our Holy Institute deserve to die, wouldn’t you agree, Qian Qing?”
The words of Jiu Xiao, like a final verdict, weighed heavily on Wang Chen, Qiong Rong, and Jiu Lingkong.
At this moment, Qian Qing felt incredibly uncomfortable, as if a fly had suddenly flown into his throat—you can neither spit it out nor swallow it, caught between a rock and a hard place.
“Qian Qing, the original words of the headmaster were to utilize the power of the Holy Institute to fully support the cultivation of Zhou Feng.”
“Not for you people to aid Zhou Feng in his villainy.”
“From now on, each one of you will enter the Demonic Abyss for 1,000 years.”
The words of Jiu Xiao struck the assembly of the Holy Institute’s Supreme Elders like a bolt from the blue, their complexions changing wildly, unable to believe what they were hearing.
The Demonic Abyss, where even strong Sky-breaking and Life Death Realm experts faced a survival rate of nine deaths for one life, or even certain death.
It was said to be a Secret Realm that had emerged only in recent hundred years, with an unknown destination.
They only knew that once a Supreme Elder, known as the foremost beneath the Reincarnation Realm in the Holy Institute, entered and came out after a few days, he was completely insane.
Not long after, this Supreme Elder passed away in the Holy Institute, leaving everyone frightened.
Even the Masters of the Reincarnation Realm found this Secret Realm to be no simple matter, hence an order was issued forbidding those below the Reincarnation Realm from approaching the Demonic Abyss.
Now, all of them were being sentenced to enter the Demonic Abyss for 1,000 years; wasn’t this tantamount to sentencing them to death?
Thinking of this, including Qian Qing, all the Supreme Elders of the Holy Institute were panic-stricken.
“Brother Jiu Xiao, please calm your anger. Is this really necessary?”
Suddenly, a voice arose to everyone’s ears, easing the tension in the hearts of Qian Qing and the other Supreme Elders.
A young man dressed simply, with a very ordinary appearance, appeared in front of Jiu Xiao with a smiling face.
Seeing this young man’s presence, including Qian Qing, these people let out a sigh of relief.
Their lives had been saved.
