"Your reason is barely acceptable. We'll adapt to the situation later."
Actually, Shangguan Qingming still didn't believe Du Feng's words. But since her son came back alive, she chose to believe him for the time being. His main goal at the moment was to fool the parents who came to find trouble with him.
Uh … It seemed like this reason wasn't enough to win people's trust. Du Feng also felt that it wasn't appropriate. But there was no more time to prepare because the families of the deceased had gathered together and were heading over.
"Let's go out too. The house is too crowded."
Shangguan Qingming suggested going out from Erjun's temple. Actually, it wasn't that she couldn't sit, but she didn't want others to cause trouble in her son's house. It was better to deal with this matter in public to prevent people from scheming behind their backs.
"Okay, I'll listen to Senior's arrangements."
Du Feng didn't have any other choice, so he obediently followed. Actually, he knew very well that Shangguan Qingming was only a deterrent or to fight for the right to speak. If she wasn't here, he probably wouldn't even have a chance to explain. Those parents would rush up and skin him alive.
But even if Shangguan Qingming was here, it was just another chance to explain. If something really happened, she would definitely protect her son first and not care about Du Feng, this guest.
"Murderer, return my son's life."
Things seemed to be worse than imagined. Du Feng had just stepped out when someone came for him. But the one who rushed up wasn't a God Emperor expert, but a middle-aged man at the peak of the ninth level of the World King Realm. He should also be a parent of the deceased, but his progress in Cultivation wasn't fast enough. He was in the same realm as his son.
Actually, the son was at the first or second level of the World King Cultivation realm, while the father was at the eighth or ninth level of the World King Cultivation realm.
God Emperor seniors were too embarrassed to directly attack a junior, but this ninth level World King didn't have the nerve to do so. When he saw Du Feng coming out of the Divine Hall, he struck him with his palm. The God Emperor experts at the side all pretended not to see it. Even Shangguan Qingming didn't have any intention of stopping him.
Their intentions were obvious. They wanted to put Du Feng in his place. If he was injured, he would say that the child had died. He was too emotional, so he didn't control his strength well. If he couldn't injure Du Feng, then it would be a good opportunity to test out Du Feng's strength.
The middle-aged man lunged forward like a madman, the wind from his palm whistling as if there were tens of thousands of evil spirits howling. He actually practiced the Devil God's cultivation technique. He must have killed many people in his early years. He was a vicious and merciless person. It was just that after staying in Jin City for a long time, he had started to focus on his son.
Du Feng could smell the aura of many vengeful spirits from the palm wind. With his movement technique, he could have dodged it without being injured at all. However, he did not intend to dodge, because dodging would be equivalent to admitting defeat. If he couldn't take the middle-aged man's palm, others would be even more suspicious of how he escaped from Star Sovereign's hands.
"Friend, my condolences."
Du Feng didn't take out a weapon. Instead, he revolved the sword energy of the Boundless Sword Art into his fingers. This was the method he had taught Xiao Hei in the past. His index and middle fingers joined together and pointed at the middle-aged man's palm. The sword finger first broke through the howling palm wind, freeing those tens of thousands of vengeful spirits in an instant. Then, he pointed at the center of the middle-aged man's palm. It actually pierced through the skin of the middle-aged man's palm, causing a bit of blood to flow out.
Du Feng immediately retreated after his attack succeeded. He didn't plan on entangling with the middle-aged man.
The middle-aged man wasn't an idiot. He discovered that he had lost to Du Feng in the first move, and that the people beside him were helping him. If he continued to fight, he might be beaten up by a junior until he couldn't get up. That would be too shameful. Thus, he quickly took a step back and stood there, his face ashen. He didn't know what to say.
As for Shangguan Qingming, she glanced at Du Feng and then nodded. She thought that this guest elder her son had found was quite good. Cultivated at the third level of the World King Realm, he was able to force back a ninth level World King Primordial God Race member with a single move. Moreover, his moves were elegant and graceful. It looked as if he didn't expend any effort. He was a rare talent.
Of course, this was only on the surface. It looked like Du Feng had used two fingers to defeat the middle-aged man. In truth, he had relied on the sword energy condensed by the Boundless Sword Art. His fingers were only a conductive tool. If he had only relied on the strength of his fingers, he wouldn't have been able to force the middle-aged man back. Perhaps his finger bones would have been broken long ago.
"Yo, Shangguan Family's guest elder has good methods. No wonder you're so bold."
The ninth level World King middle-aged man had been defeated. Now, it was the God Emperor Realm parents' turn to take action.
"That's right. Such powerful methods. I'm afraid that my poor child was also killed by you."
The God Emperor Realm old fellows were indeed amazing. With just a few words, they were able to shift the conflict onto Du Feng. Since the elders at the peak of the ninth level World King Realm weren't his match, then the juniors at the first, second, or third level wouldn't be his match either. As a result, the suspicion of Du Feng's murder was even greater.
"Elders, you must be joking. The mission we received was to kill the members of the Constellation Army. How could we kill each other?"
"Besides, when I arrived, all the young masters and young ladies were already trapped."
Du Feng didn't panic in the face of danger. He began to explain the matter from the beginning. He had lost the mission and arrived late. How could he have been an accomplice of the Constellation Army?
"If you didn't kill them, then why aren't you dead?"
"That's right. Why aren't you dead? And why did that brat from the Shangguan Family come back alive?"
"I think you guys conspired to kill our child and then pushed the blame onto the Constellation Army."
Everyone exchanged glances and words. They all cursed at Du Feng, wanting to immediately convict him. Their meaning was obvious. As long as he came back alive, it was wrong. Since our children have died outside, you must die outside as well. Even if you weren't killed, you would have to commit suicide on the spot to atone for your crimes.
"Who do you think I conspired with? With Young Master Shangguan?"
When Du Feng said this, Shangguan Qingming was the first to be unhappy. Wasn't he deliberately drawing the flames of war to my Shangguan family?
"My son's body isn't good since he was young. He isn't good at fighting. He wouldn't conspire with others."
Shangguan Qingming hurriedly defended her son to prevent the other families' parents from misunderstanding. Shanghai Erjun's reputation as a good-for-nothing was actually quite famous in Gold City. In fact, everyone didn't believe that Shanghai Erjun had the ability to kill so many Protoss members of the same level or even higher Cultivation Realm than him.
"Actually, my son was also killed at that time. But he only escaped with the substitute doll I gave him."
