"Wow!" Exclamations rose from all directions as everyone discussed animatedly.
Lin Feng wasn't surprised. He felt the different gazes converging on him and nodded at Feng Chao.
There was no need to say or do anything. He just needed to hand everything over to his grandfather. He believed that he could definitely control this situation.
"Silence." Feng Chao's eyes burned as he shouted.
His voice carried the might of a Saint King, and it was as if a huge mountain had crashed down.
The crowd that was as lively as a market instantly quieted down. Feeling Feng Chao's burning gaze, everyone shut their mouths and didn't dare to say anything. Right now, those who stood out would die. Without a certain amount of courage, who would dare to offend a Saint King expert, the patriarch of a clan?
But …
There were no absolutes in this world.
"Oh, how lively." In the distance, a cool voice broke the silence.
Everyone turned their heads to look, and the surrounding crowd even took the initiative to make a path. Even the Saint King experts' eyes were sparkling. They were rather curious as to who dared to ignore everything and cause trouble. On the flaming basin, the flames were still spewing out ferociously. Feng Chao's eyes were sharp as he stared straight ahead.
His aura faintly gathered like a sharp sword unsheathed!
Lin Feng's heart skipped a beat. This was the first time he had seen his grandfather Feng Chao's true strength. Just by standing beside him, he could feel the great power that belonged to a Saint Ruler. The power was not directed at him, but at the three people who were striding over in a carefree manner.
Three men!
The leader had his hands behind his back, his head high and chest puffed out. He had a faint smile on his face and was rather handsome. He looked frivolous, but there was an unfathomable feeling to him. He was clearly the leader of the three. Facing the pressure of Feng Chao's Saint King aura, he still looked like he was taking a stroll in the park. His strength was obvious.
Seventh Divine Envoy, Zuo!
Behind 'Zuo', two men stood on the left and right. Their auras were about the same. It was just that the aura of the one on the left was sharper and younger, while the one on the right felt much calmer. Lin Feng's gaze swept across them without stopping, because he could sense their strength.
Peak Saint Realm!
In the human world, they might be strong enough to hold their own, but here, they were only 'supporting characters'.
…
"Brat, what are you doing here?" The one who spoke was not Feng Chao, but Red Brow Ancestor.
Only he had the ability and status to dare to call the dignified Seventh Divine Envoy 'Zuo' a brat, and no one questioned it.
"Greetings, Senior Red Brows." Zuo slightly bowed his head to show his respect. As the saying goes, one does not hit a smiling person. Even though he knew that Zuo Yu did not come with good intentions, Red-browed Ancestor could only stare at him. Moreover, Zuo was backed by the Deities Templar, the most powerful force of the Ancients.
"Naturally, I'm here to congratulate you." Zuo Wei smiled. His smile was so bright that no one could tell what he was thinking.
The Red Brows Ancestor curled his lips and could not find a reason to refute. Instead, he should have said that he should 'expel' this uninvited guest.
"If you are sincere in your congratulations, then as a friend of the Ancient Feng Clan, you are most welcome." Feng Chao's voice was calm, but it was sharp. Compared to the Red-browed Ancestor who was not good with words, as the Patriarch, Feng Chao had experienced this kind of situation many times.
"Patriarch, you're thinking too much. Of course, I'm sincerely congratulating you." Zuo smiled. As he spoke, the corners of his mouth curled up slightly. "Not only that, I've also specially brought a congratulatory gift!"
Lin Feng's eyes flickered. As soon as he finished speaking, a cold light flashed in Zuo's hand. With a strong force, he immediately flew out.
He was extremely fast!
Clearly, he had an ulterior motive!
Smack! Feng Chao's figure moved, and he instantly caught it. It was really a beautiful gift box wrapped in red and green. However, the moment he took it, the gift box suddenly opened, and a strange smile appeared on Zuo's face. Lin Feng had a bad feeling and shouted, "Grandfather!"
Just as he shouted, it was too late.
The packaging of the gift box was torn open in an instant, revealing its true appearance, causing an uproar in the surroundings.
An ancient cup!
Two words were written on the top of the ancient cup. The two words made Feng Min's face twist ferociously —
Feng Yao!
"This is …" Lin Feng's eyes changed, and he instantly understood.
Bone ash cup!
Feng Yao's bone ash cup!
Feng Chao's face was pale, and he didn't have time to react at all. In an instant, as Zuo's eyes lit up, the bone ash cup exploded with a bang. The two words' Feng Yao 'were blown into pieces, and the ashes that filled the sky drifted down with the bone ash cup.
There was complete silence in the arena.
Everyone looked at this scene in shock, completely stunned.
"Tsk tsk." Zuo shook his head and sighed. "Patriarch Feng, even if you don't like congratulatory gifts, you don't have to do this, right?" After a pause, Zuo sneered. "I just think that Little Brother Feng Yao should also want to participate in this' Ancestral Acknowledgement 'ceremony, because …"
"He was killed for protecting this' bastard 'grandson of yours!" Zuo's voice instantly turned cold. He deliberately emphasized the word' bastard 'and gritted his teeth. The surrounding clansmen of the Ancient Feng Clan were all livid. Many of them even looked ashamed and even angry.
The situation had changed drastically!
Previously, Feng Chao and Feng Min had covered up the matter of Feng Yao and dealt with it in a low-key manner.
But now, it was made public in front of everyone's eyes!
If it were any other time, there wouldn't be such a sensation. Even if the matter was exposed, Feng Yao would be the one to suffer. But now, it was different. No one cared about the truth of the matter. In fact, under Zuo's deliberate creation, everyone was already prejudiced.
Originally, the clansmen of the Ancient Feng Clan were already very dissatisfied with this so-called 'Ancestral Acknowledgement' ceremony, but they had no choice but to accept it.
But right now, all the dissatisfaction and depression had exploded out in an instant!
"Patriarch, please retract your order."
"Patriarch, please cancel the ceremony."
…
The sound of one knee on the ground rang out.
The clansmen of the Ancient Feng Clan half-knelt on the ground and cupped their hands to beg. For the prideful ancient clansmen, this was already an out-and-out scandal. If this scandal continued, it would undoubtedly make things worse.
"What are you doing!" Red Brow Ancestor roared angrily.
But now, his irritation was useless. No matter how strong he was, it was useless.
The people's hearts were already on Zuo's side.
Feng Chao's expression changed continuously. He was completely at a disadvantage, but a cold smile appeared on Zuo's face. This effect was already within his expectations, but his real purpose was not this. His gaze slowly fell on another person in the distance, and a glint flashed across his eyes.
His real purpose was Feng Min!
At this moment, Feng Min's face was ferocious. Blue veins popped out on his clenched fists. He had already reached the critical point of anger. He knew that the ashes in the bone ash cup were not Feng Yao's real ashes, but now that it was brought out in public, both he and his dead son had completely lost face.
Suddenly — —
"I killed him."
"This has nothing to do with the Patriarch. If there's anything, come at me."
Lin Feng's eyes flickered slightly as he spoke indifferently.
At this moment, if he didn't do anything, things would continue to worsen and become irreversible.
Since his "reputation" had already fallen to the bottom, there was no need to let it continue to be "evil". Anyway, no matter how he curried the favor of these proud ancient clansmen, he wouldn't be able to get anything out of it.
To him, only his family was the most important.
He couldn't let his grandfather's reputation be destroyed.
"Lin Feng!" Feng Chao was surprised and instantly understood. His face darkened, but Lin Feng turned his head and nodded at Feng Chao. "Trust me, Grandfather." His voice was very soft, but it was full of confidence. Feng Chao was hesitant. Of course, he wanted to stand up and clarify, but he knew that this would make things out of hand.
Most importantly, the light he saw in Lin Feng's eyes made him feel inexplicably at ease.
Perhaps, he was really old …
"What did you say?" Zuo's expression was ugly, and for the first time, he revealed an unfriendly expression.
However, he didn't expect to be beaten by Lin Feng and turn the situation around in an instant. Although they still had the upper hand, the people of the Ancient Feng Clan who were half-kneeling on the ground already had hesitation and confusion on their faces. They didn't know what had happened.
Suppress Lin Feng?
To Zuo, this was never a big deal!
If he wanted to kill Lin Feng, why would he need to go through so much trouble to create such a big dragon and phoenix?
"Didn't you hear me clearly?" Lin Feng smiled indifferently and looked at Zuo. "I mean, Feng Yao was killed by me."
"When I first entered the Ancient Feng Clan to look for the Clan Leader, the person who received me was Chief Steward Feng Yao." Lin Feng's gaze swept across and landed on one of the clansmen. "Jia Tang, who was in charge of guarding at that time, can prove it." The young man named Jia Tang was startled. Feeling everyone's gaze on him, he quickly raised his hand. "Yes, that's right."
Lin Feng smiled and continued, "After that, because the Clan Leader wasn't here, we waited temporarily."
As if he was narrating a story, everyone's attention was quickly attracted. Even Feng Min, who had reached the critical point of anger, gradually calmed down, and his gaze was ice-cold. Zuo's expression was ugly. Although he knew that Lin Feng was making up a story, what had happened at that time? How could he say it?
Could he tell everyone that he was the one who asked Feng Yao to kill Lin Feng and lure Lin Feng into the Blood Saute Mystic Realm?
"During that time, we had some unpleasantness." Lin Feng shrugged and said, "Just like this senior, Chief Steward Feng Yao also looked down on people of our status. Therefore, he proposed a martial arts competition. I was young and impulsive and agreed in a moment of confusion."
"Who would have thought that the Chief Steward and I were on par in strength? Both of us were young and impetuous and refused to give in. No one was willing to admit defeat. In the end …"
"Sigh." With a long sigh, Lin Feng turned to look at Feng Min and bowed. "Actually, I've always wanted to apologize to you, senior, but I couldn't find the opportunity. Here, I want to sincerely say … I'm sorry." Feng Min's expression changed, and he pursed his lips tightly. Although he was extremely unwilling, he could only swallow his anger.
Everyone knew that it was inevitable to accidentally kill someone during a martial arts competition.
After all, the two of them were on par in strength, and the difference between victory and defeat was just a hair's breadth.
His words were clear and logical. At this moment, everyone in the Ancient Feng Clan was in a heated discussion. The heavy atmosphere from before had long disappeared without a trace. Patriarch Red Brows raised his eyebrows and seemed to be very happy. However, Zuo's expression was extremely gloomy.
His plan had all gone down the drain!
