The entire floor of the Dark Dazzling Hall was made of expensive obsidian crystals.
The entire hall gave off an ancient and noble feeling. This was the ninth floor of the Ten Halls of the Famed Tower, second only to the top floor.
According to the attendant, many peak Star Sector-level warriors were not qualified to enter. In the entire Shiluo Prefecture, the number of VIP guests in the Dark Dazzling Hall could be counted on one hand. All of them had fought their way up level by level with their strength. In fact, star crystals could only be used to purchase VIP status from the first to the seventh floor.
From the eighth floor onwards, no amount of money could buy it.
Just the VIP status on the sixth floor alone would cost a hundred thousand star crystals.
And the seventh floor would cost a million star crystals. In the entire Shiluo Prefecture, only the richest man in the Luo Chamber of Commerce had the "spare cash" to buy a VIP status. Even if other warriors had the money, they would not spend it in such a useless way. After all, the most important symbol of the Famed Tower was —
To conquer with strength!
…
"How grand." Lin Feng looked around.
"Mhm, I didn't expect to be able to come here." Lin Yumo's beautiful eyes flashed, feeling very honored.
There was not a single person around.
In the huge Dark Dazzling Hall, only Lin Feng and Lin Yumo were present. The atmosphere was very good.
Here, any service required only a light press of a button. At other times, attendants and maids were not allowed to stay and occupy this space. Moreover, there was complete "autonomy" in the Dark Dazzling Hall. There was no need to worry about being eavesdropped on.
"Yumo, I want to know what happened back then." Lin Feng's eyes were bright and deep.
Father, you violated the rules and brought disaster to the family!
It was a huge secret.
Lin Yumo looked at Lin Feng, her beautiful eyes flashing. She was smart enough to guess that Lin Feng would definitely get to the bottom of this.
"Lin Da Ge, Uncle Lin has kept this secret from you. Perhaps he has his reasons." Lin Yumo hesitated for a moment, then said softly, "This matter has been sealed within the family. Not many people know what happened back then, and I don't know the full story."
"I want to know." Lin Feng's expression was calm but firm.
Pursing his lips, Lin Yumo sighed. "Alright, but you have to promise me one thing."
"Don't worry, Yumo. I won't expose my identity." Lin Feng nodded lightly, knowing Yumo's concerns.
Just like how his father wanted him to hide his identity, since his father had violated the prohibition that day, then he had also been 'implicated'. Unlike Yumo, she was directly related to him. She was intrinsically related to him, and if her identity was exposed, she might be in danger.
Lin Yumo nodded and said softly, "Uncle Lin was really amazing back then."
"Hmm?" Lin Feng's eyes lit up as he pricked up his ears.
"Housekeeper Wu told me that Uncle Lin has the family's second-grade eye, the Dark Spirit Eye, and broke through to the Star Sector-level at the age of 18." Lin Yumo's eyes flashed. When he saw Lin Feng, he was also shocked. He had not expected his father's strength and potential to be so strong.
Hearing about his father's deeds from others and hearing the admiration and respect in Yumo's tone, Lin Feng felt very proud.
This was his father!
But …
Thinking about how his father had fallen on the Tianwu Continent, Lin Feng felt a sharp pain in his heart. He really wanted to know what had happened back then to cause his father to become like this! He had violated the prohibition. What prohibition had he violated? Lin Feng stared at Lin Yumo, and his right fist unconsciously clenched.
"Uncle Lin was not only one of the top three powerhouses in the family back then, but he was also an Earth-rank blacksmith second only to Master Lin Yan.
"It could be said that he was not only the pride of the Lin clan but also a bright new star in Shiluo Prefecture.
"If Uncle Lin was still around, the Lin clan would not be in this position today."
Lin Yumo shook her head gently, feeling regret in her heart.
If that incident back then had not happened, she and Lin Da Ge would probably have been …
No.
Lin Yumo shook her head.
If that incident had not happened, how could there be Lin Da Ge?
"What exactly happened back then?" Lin Feng's breathing was a little rapid as he looked straight at Yumo.
What could have happened that could have caused his father, who was at the peak of his power, to fall into a bottomless abyss?
This was definitely not a small matter.
"Uncle Lin, he …" Lin Yumo bit her lips and looked at Lin Feng with a different kind of emotion in her beautiful eyes. She said slowly, "He eloped with an ancient woman."
"Ah!" Lin Feng cried out in shock. His heart was in chaos.
He had never imagined that the answer would be this!
"Is that ancient woman … my mother?" Lin Feng's expression suddenly changed. The confusion that had been plaguing him seemed to have cleared up.
He had the bloodline of the ancient race. This was undeniable. He had the body of a phoenix and could absorb the blood of a phoenix. This was not something an ordinary human could do. Back in the Tianwu Continent, he had vaguely sensed his mother's aura.
But why did this violate the forbidden rules?
Wait! Elopement?
If it was a free love, why did they elope?
Lin Feng raised his head and looked at Lin Yumo with shining eyes. He knew very well that Yumo definitely knew the reason.
"Lin Da Ge, you might not know this, but the human race and the ancient race cannot intermarry. To be more precise, the ancient race strictly forbids intermarriage with the human race. " Lin Yumo's words were like a heavy bomb that landed in Lin Feng's heart. In an instant, Lin Feng understood many things. His chest rose and fell slightly. Lin Feng clenched his fists tightly and his expression changed rapidly.
Yes, among the three major races of the human race, the human race was the most insignificant existence!
Even if they were all from the human race, there were differences in status. How could a lady from a wealthy family marry a beggar?
The logic was clear.
In the eyes of the ancient race, what was the difference between the human race and a beggar?
There was a natural difference between the bloodlines of the two races. In the eyes of the ancient race, the human race was even worse than a beggar. They were merely ants that were used as cannon fodder against the demon race. He was very clear about this point. Among the three major races of the human race, the sorcerer race and the ancient race were high and mighty.
Perhaps the ancient race did not treat the human race as cruelly as the sorcerer race.
But in essence, there was no difference in how the two races viewed the human race.
"In the Hundred Falls, I saw the battle between the sorcerer and the demon race." Lin Feng said softly. His eyes flashed.
The sorcerer race guarded the center, the ancient race attacked from the back, and the human race …
Was cannon fodder!
They charged towards the demon race army like moths to a flame, regardless of the huge difference in strength between the two sides. To the sorcerer race and the ancient race, the human race was just a bargaining chip to deplete the demon race's strength. This was because the human race had a strong reproductive ability and a large population. That was all.
They had never truly regarded the human race as an "ally" or a race.
"Elopement …" Lin Feng smiled and shook his head.
There was no need to ask. He could guess that the pressure must have come from the ancient race. Perhaps his mother's position in the ancient race was not small. Because of the ancient race's power and power, they forced his father and mother to elope. Then, as Yumo said, the family expelled his father from the family to protect himself.
In fact, the family was not wrong to do so.
If they insisted on protecting his father, they would just die together. There was no need.
From his father's letter, it could be seen that he did not resent the family. Otherwise, he would not have allowed him to return to the family.
"No wonder Father and Yumo did not want me to expose my identity. It's because my mother's identity is too special." Lin Feng smiled helplessly. His doubts were finally solved.
Looking at Lin Feng's complicated expression, Lin Yumo wanted to say something but stopped.
She did not mention that her father, Lin Jing, had been implicated because of the "arranged marriage" back then.
She was smart. After thinking about it carefully after calming down, she naturally knew how much of Lin Feng's feelings for her was true love and how much was family. Lin Yumo hesitated, or rather, she was afraid. The first time she fell in love, her heart was already filled by Lin Feng. She …
Did not dare to take the risk.
She was afraid to change the situation.
She was afraid that there might be a "slight" change this time and affect the entire situation.
"Telling Lin Da Ge won't help. It will only make him feel more guilty," Lin Yumo thought to herself. She bit her lips and comforted herself.
…
"Lin Da Ge, what do you plan to do next?" Lin Yumo asked softly.
"I want to find Mother and the culprit." Lin Feng's eyes were cold. He did not hesitate at all. "When Father and Mother eloped, they were still fine. However, Father, who was heavily injured, brought me and my younger brother to the Tianwu Continent. During the time they eloped, something must have happened that forcefully separated our family. "
Most importantly, Father was directly 'crippled'!
According to Duo Duo, Father was barely hanging on during the time in the Tianwu Continent.
For a Star Sector-level warrior, even if he was just hanging on for a while, it was not a big problem for him to last for ten or twenty years.
"I don't know." Lin Yumo shook her head gently.
What she knew was only from Housekeeper Wu. It was not everything.
"Basically, it should not have much to do with the family." Lin Feng's eyes flickered. He understood. Father was already one of the top three experts in the family back then. Furthermore, the family was forced to draw a clear line with Father. Even if they wanted to capture Father, it would not take too much effort.
It was very likely that it was the ancient race!
However, no matter who it was, he would not let this matter rest!
Enmity was enmity. A blood feud had to be filled with blood. An eye for an eye!
Lin Feng's eyes shone brightly.
He would definitely not let the matter of the past go so easily.
…
Because the matter of the past was brought up, a secret was revealed.
Lin Feng and Lin Yumo also lost their interest in 'celebrating'. However, they really could not feel happy. It was as if a thorn was stuck in their throats. It was extremely uncomfortable.
"What Yumo said was only a fragment."
"The one who knows the most about what happened back then is the family leader, 'Lin Zhen'."
Lin Feng left the Dark Shine Hall absentmindedly. His eyes flickered as he pondered.
Back then, the person who chased Father out of the family was the current family leader, 'Lin Zhen'!
"Who is the murderer? What is Mother's identity? Everything …"
"The family leader might know everything!"
Lin Feng exhaled deeply. His expression kept changing.
Knowing was one thing, but how could he make the family leader, 'Lin Zhen', tell him willingly?
This was undoubtedly a big problem.
Lin Feng and Lin Yumo had their own thoughts as they slowly walked out of the White Cloud Inn.
At this moment, an uproar sounded.
