When Old Devil Feng by the side heard what SongZhong said, he burst out into laughter, âDarn fatty, you canât even keep your own life and you still think that you can protect them? What a joke, what a joke! HAHAHA!â
âHAHA!â The Naked Skinning Witch who was by the side also burst out into laughter.
Only SongZhong remained indifferent, âOld Devil Feng, while you seem to be extremely confident, you do not have the confidence to kill me, right?â
âSays who?â After Old Devil Feng heard that, he said, âDarn fatty, let me tell you right now. You definitely canât escape today!â
âHaha, really? Old Devil Feng, if you really think that I will die today, do you dare reveal to me the hidden truth behind my parentsâ death?â
âEn?â As Old Devil Feng heard that, he was first stunned before asking, âYou know that there is a hidden truth?â
âThis is regarding my parentsâ death, of course, I will investigate the matter thoroughly. In fact, ever since you ambushed me at my parentsâ death site, I have started having my suspicions on the matter. Old Devil Feng, do you dare to tell me, did someone from the Mystical Sky Yard tip you off to ambush my parents?â
âHehe!â As Old Devil Feng heard that, he grinned, âWhy do I have to tell you this?â
âSince I canât escape, it wouldnât matter if you say it right?â SongZhong sneered, âDonât tell me that you are afraid that I will escape so you arenât willing to take the risk? Youâre afraid of betraying your spy in the Mystical Sky Yard?â
âHmph, this old man would naturally not be afraid of you escaping. It is just that I want you to die as a ghost with regret. I want you to die without knowing who killed your parents!â.
âHa!â As SongZhong heard that, he immediately laughed, âOld Devil Feng, you are wrong about that. If you really hate me, you should tell me the truth. You should let me know who killed my parents but yet have to see the person roam freely, being unable to do anything. That would be the most painful. If I do not know anything, it wouldnât matter anymore. Do you agree?â
âEn?â As Old Devil Feng heard that, he was first stunned. After lowering his head in consideration, he said with a laugh, âHehe, it does seem to be the case. But, you are obviously trying to trick me into saying it. Donât tell me you really have a way to escape?â
âHaha, youâre really afraid that I will escape?â SongZhong could not help but burst out into laughter. âIn front of a YuanYing cultivator, even if I as a rookie foundational cultivator have a Lesser Movement Talisman, I will not even have the chance to activate it! What do you have to be worried about?â
âHehe, you are right!â Old Devil Feng nodded his head. But, he said, âBut, it is best to be careful. I think I should first capture you and find a place where there is nobody before revealing. How about that?â
As Old Devil Feng said that, he approached with a cunning smile.
As SongZhong saw that, he became nervous as he shouted, âWait! I have something to say!â
âEn? What do you want to say?â Old Devil Feng smiled, âTake your time, I am in no rush at all!â
Obviously, Old Devil Feng was like a predator torturing his prey, playing with SongZhong.
Although SongZhong knew that, he did not have any choice. He could only endure the anger in his heart, âIf you tell me the matters pertaining to my parents, I will tell you something you want to know in return!â
âEn?â As Old Devil Feng heard that, his eyes lit up. Then, he asked curiously, âYou are just a foundational rookie, what news can you possibly have that would interest me?â
âHehe, while I may not be as knowledgeable as you, there are somethings which can only be acquired from me. For example, who defeated your young master YuFeng in the Jade Green Screen!â SongZhong said with a cunning laughter.
âWhat?â As Old Devil Feng heard that, his expression changed and he asked, âYou know?â
âOf course. In fact, I even know who has the Nine Beauties Painting!â SongZhong smiled, âHow about that? Is this news stunning enough?â
âIt is stunning enough!â Old Devil Fengâs eyes widened like saucers. Then, he said spitefully, âBecause of this incident, I do not have the face to see my senior brother. If you can tell me this, in a moment of soft heartedness, I can let you enjoy fewer torture tools!â
âThat isnât necessary. I only want to exchange it for the news of my parents!â SongZhong then said with caution, âOld Devil Feng, let me warn you, donât dream of capturing me alive. You also know that I am a lightning cultivator. The Eastern Oceanâs Three Demons were all scared away by my Lesser Positive Negative Five Element Divine Lightning. If you dare to use force, I would rather blow my body up to bits then tell you this piece of news!â
As he said that, he revealed 10 different divine lightnings in his palm.
Old Devil Feng indeed had the idea of taking SongZhong by surprise to interrogate him. But the moment he heard SongZhong say that, together with the 10 divine lightnings, he became more cautious. He did not know that SongZhongâs body was perverse to the point it is able to ignore the explosion of the divine lightnings. This divine lightnings would even be able to blow apart a JinDan cultivator without defense. Seeing SongZhong playing with the lightnings in his palms without a protective magical artifact, he was indeeed able to detonate it at any time.
Thus, Old Devil Feng was afraid that SongZhong would commit suicide on the spot. If thatâs the case, he would no longer be able to find the Nine Beauties Painting. Helpless, he could only say with a bitter laughter, âGood, SongZhong, good! I will say it then. But, how can you ensure that you will not regret after hearing my news?â
âI, SongZhong, will not go back on my words!â SongZhong said with a cold laughter, âDo not group me together with the likes of you devil cultivators!â
Old Devil Feng was mocked to the point he felt his anger rise. But for the sake of Nine Beauties Painting, he had no choice but to endure the anger. Then, he said, âGood, child. Youâre good! I can tell you the news of your parents first! But if you do not tell me the news about the Nine Beauties Painting, I will ensure that you will lead a life worse than death!â
âHehe, since you have already determined that victory is in your grasp, what do you have to be afraid of? Quickly say, this junior is all ears!â SongZhong said with a cold laughter.
âGood!â Old Devil Feng gritted his teeth and agreed. He then thought to himself, âThis SongZhong is already a meat on the chopping board. It doesnât matter if I tell it to him. As long as he is able to reveal the whereabouts of the Nine Beauties Painting, this risk is worth it.â
Thinking about that, Old Devil Feng waved his sleeves and coldly instructed, âAll of you scram to 5000 kilometres away. If any of you dare to come near, I will kill you without mercy!â
As they heard that, everyone realized that Old Devil Feng was about to tell SongZhong something which infringed upon confidential information within the sect. Thus, they did not dare delay, retreating after they paid their respects. The next moment, there was only Old Devil Feng, SongZhong, SiYun and SiYu.
In the eyes of Old Devil Feng, SiYu and SiYun were as good as dead. Thus, he did not bother about them. The moment everyone left, he said with a superficial smile, âSongZhong, you mentioned that you have already investigated the matter. If thatâs the case, do you know who betrayed your parents?â
âHmph, you still want to test me?â SongZhong sneered, âIs it Huo QianWu?â
âEn?â As Old Devil Feng heard that, his expression changed as he burst out into laughter, âGood, child, you indeed have some ability. Since you already know, why do you still have to ask me?â
âI only guessed that it was her, but I did not have any concrete evidence!â SongZhong then said irascibly, âIf thatâs the case, she is indeed the traitor?â
âThatâs right!â Old Devil Feng nodded with a smile, âShe was the one who informed me. Only then was I able to send out JinDan disciples to kill them!â
âDammit!â SongZhong could not suppress the anger in his heart as he cursed. âBut Huo QianWu is from the Mystical Sky Yard and you are from the Thousands Desire Sect. The distance between you two is so huge, how did you guys know each other?â
âHehe, this is a long story!â Old Devil Feng played with his beard.
âI have time!â SongZhong said coldly, âUnless you tell me all of the details, you can dream about knowing the whereabouts of the Nine Beauties Painting! As compared to a spiritual artifact exceeding the 9th grade, it isnât considered much to tell some information to a dying man right?â
âHehe, since you also know that you are about to die, let me be generous for once and tell you everything!â Old Devil Feng then laughed, âIn order to know the relationship between Huo QianWu and me, you must first know her birth heritage!â
âBirth heritage?â SongZhong was stunned as he asked, âIsnât she the youngest daughter of Daoist HuoLong?â
âWrong, that is only a farce!â Old Devil Feng smiled, âIn truth, Huo QianWu is Daoist HuoLongâs niece. She should call Daoist HuoLong, uncle!â
âUncle?â SongZhong asked with shock, âIn other words, Huo QianWu is the daughter of Daoist HuoLongâs younger sister?â
âNope, she is the daughter of Daoist HuoLongâs elder sister!â Old Devil Feng smiled, âDo not make a mistake about this!â
âThen who is Daoist HuoLongâs elder sister?â SongZhong asked.
âHehe, this is a secret which cannot be considered a secret. In our generation, there are many who know about this. But among the younger generation, there are not many who do!â Old Devil Feng then laughed, âThis elder sister of Daoist HuoLong is actually a famous character! If I were to say Celestial QingYun, I believe there will be no one in the Vast Mountains who do not recognise her right?â
âCelestial QingYun?â SongZhong was taken aback for a moment. Then, he shouted out, âDamn, the Celestial QingYun who has the same prestige as Celestial MeiHua, one of the three goddess in the Vast Mountains? Isnât she the pavilion head of the Jade Pearl Pavilion? Master of Han Bingâer?â
âHehe, thatâs right. Sheâs the one!â Old Devil Feng smiled, âWhy? Are you surprised?â
âNo wonder Daoist HuoLong is so close to the Jade Pearl Pavilion. So this is whatâs going on!â Only then did SongZhong come to a realization. However, he asked in doubt, âThatâs not right, since they are siblings, why is one of them in the Jade Pearl Pavilion while the other in the Mystical Sky Yard?â
âHehe, this is where youâre ignorant!â Old Devil Feng explained with a smile, âThe Jade Pearl Pavilion is part of the Jade Pearl Sect. Their sect has a rule that while the female cultivators in their sect can marry and have a child, the males must be sent away while the females must join the Jade Pearl Pavilion. Daoist HuoLongâs parents were from the Jade Pearl Sect and the Mystical Sky Sect. Thus, after they were born, one of them was placed in the Jade Pearl Pavilion with the other in the Mystical Sky Yard!â
âDammit, this is really a long distance relationship!â SongZhong scolded. Then, he asked in doubt again, âThatâs not right. Huo QianWu is a female, she should be part of the Jade Pearl Pavilion. Why is she in the Mystical Sky Yard?â
âHehe, that is because Celestial QingYun was never married and Huo QianWu was an illegitimate child! Thus, she cannot stay in the Jade Pearl Pavilion. She can only pose as Daoist HuoLongâs daughter and reside in the Mystical Sky Yard!â Old Devil Feng smiled, âDo you understand if I put it this way?â
âI understand!â SongZhong nodded, âBut, you have not tell me how Huo QianWu knows you!â
âHaha! This!â Old Devil Feng laughed, âOf course I know her through her mother!â
âCelestial QingYun? As the pavilion head of the Jade Pearl Pavilion, she knows a devil cultivator like you?â SongZhong could not help but be puzzled, âWhat kind of relationship do the two of you share?â
âHaha, what do you think? A despairing lady and a man who specialises in dual cultivation. What kind of a relationship do you think we have?â Old Devil Feng asked with delight.
SongZhong was no idiot and understood what was going on. But, he could not believe that this was true as he guessed, âIt canât be right? Donât tell me you guys were?â
âThatâs right. We were a couple!â Old Devil Feng gleamed with pride, âEven though Celestial QingYun is a powerful completed YuanYing cultivator, she still succumbed under my crotch!â
âThis is impossible!â After hearing this stunning news, SongZhong could not help but exclaim, âYou are definitely bluffing me right?â
âFoolish child, why do I need to bluff a dying man. This is the truth!â Old Devil Feng shrugged his shoulders.
âBut why is this so?â SongZhong could not help but ask.
âMmm...how should I explain it?â Old Devil Feng said with helplessness, âIn fact, Celestial QingYun can also be said to be a poor girl. After having an illegitimate child, she was abandoned by the heartless man. Because she was pregnant at that time, it injured her vitality. Together with the internal conflicts of the Jade Pearl Pavilion, she was left with no choice but to find me to engage in dual cultivation! So that she can strengthen herself for self-preservation!â
âEn?â As SongZhong heard that, he said in shock, âCelestial QingYun can increase her strength by dual cultivating with you? Do you think I am an idiot? There is something so good in this world? Your devil cultivation methods benefit yourself at the expense of others. If she were to find you, she will only be sucked to death. How is it possible to increase her strength?â
âHaha, brat, you are still too tender. You are limited in your knowledge!â Old Devil Feng laughed, âThe Jade Pearl Pavilion only has female cultivators. They would definitely have a few profound righteous dual cultivation methods. When a righteous and devil dual cultivation method meets, there would be a mystical transformation. Of course, these are things which only us YuanYing cultivators are able to understand. You wouldnât understand even if I explained it to you!â
