Chapter 1447 - 1445 Xia Qingfeng’s Foolishness
"This..." Wang Chou, hearing Xia Yuntian’s words in mid-air, was momentarily stunned. Xia Yuntian was right; he did say those things before and couldn’t find any flaws for the moment, pondering as he stood in mid-air.
But just as Wang Chou was contemplating in mid-air, one of the five elders suddenly spoke: "Second Elder, one of these four Prominent Families must be lying. Let them all gather and confront each other face to face!"
This sentence immediately made Wang Chou’s eyes light up. It was indeed a good idea. If any party had a problem, it must be the one lying, which would help determine who killed Wang Batian. Thinking this, Wang Chou immediately said to Xia Yuntian: "Inform the other three Prominent Families at once; they must arrive here within half a day. If not, I will level your Hidden World to the ground!"
The tone was extremely domineering with a very strong style. He indeed had such a capital; there was no one in this Hidden World who could match their six people. They could do whatever they wanted, and no one could intervene!
"Since Elder Wang says so, I will notify them immediately." Hearing Wang Chou’s words, Xia Yuntian’s heart instantly skipped a beat, but on the surface, he pretended to be unfazed and confident as he spoke, immediately using a special transmission array to notify the people from the other Prominent Families.
However, at this moment, Xia Yuntian dared not make any special movement. He knew that Wang Chou’s Divine Sense was surely following him. Any small action at this time could bring disaster upon him, so he abandoned any actions, only notifying the other three Prominent Families of Wang Chou’s words normally, praying nothing would go wrong when the time came.
Half a day passed in the blink of an eye, and the people from the other three Prominent Families all arrived. It was unrealistic for everyone to come, considering the matters inside the Heavenly Immortal Mansion Ruins; not many people from the other three families came—mainly just the Family Heads accompanied by a few elders.
"Confess, what exactly are you hiding!" Wang Chou coldly said, seeing everyone had arrived. Now that everyone was here, he wanted to see how these people would still try to deceive him!
"Second Elder, what we said before was all true!"
"Second Elder, we’ve told you everything; what else do you want us to say?"
"It’s not that we won’t tell you, we really didn’t see the battle scene!"
...
The Family Heads of the four Prominent Families spoke up, their words consistent, all denying ever seeing the battle scene. This was the only thing they could do now; if this didn’t work, they had no other ways left.
"Sharp tongues! Without some suffering, you won’t tell the truth. Since that’s the case, don’t blame this old man for being rude!" Hearing the Family Heads still say this, Wang Chou immediately became furious. After speaking coldly, he unleashed a burst of black Gang Qi from his body, descending upon the Family Heads like a black cloud.
In an instant, the Family Heads of the four Prominent Families were pressed to the ground, struggling uselessly. Yet even in such a predicament, none of them mentioned Lin Feng. Without Lin Feng, they would have died in the Heavenly Immortal Mansion Ruins long ago. At worst, they’d die here this time, but they would not expose Lin Feng.
In no time, the black cloud grew denser, increasing the pressure on the Family Heads of the four Prominent Families. Kong Lifeng, the weakest among them, spat out a mouthful of blood, evidently severely injured. The other three Family Heads were pale, clearly unable to last much longer.
Even so, none of the four mentioned Lin Feng. They had already resolved that it was preferable to die here this time, as long as Lin Feng remained safe. With Lin Feng’s protection, the four Prominent Families would surely be secure in the future.
"Alright! Let me see if your bones are that hard, or if my methods are more effective!"
Wang Chou hadn’t expected the Family Heads to be so stubborn. Despite the current situation, no one had revealed the truth. His words were cold, and he once again manipulated the black Gang Qi, which instantly changed shape, pressing onto the Family Heads like a ceiling, threatening their lives at any moment.
Seeing this situation, the four, including Xia Yuntian, closed their eyes. Their strength was like ants in front of the opponent, without even a chance to resist. If the opponent insisted they die, then so be it. However, these four thinking this way didn’t mean everyone thought the same!
"You old geezer, release our Family Head. If our Teacher Lin were here, he’d have destroyed you already!" Seeing Xia Yuntian and the others on the brink, Xia Qingfeng was getting extremely anxious. Suddenly, remembering Lin Feng, he yelled at Wang Chou in the air.
In his view, since Lin Feng could defeat Su Qi, an Immortal, he surely could defeat this old man before him. Therefore, he felt that bringing up Lin Feng would definitely intimidate the opponent enough to save their Family Head. As long as the Family Head was safe, that would suffice.
No doubt, Xia Qingfeng’s youthful impulsiveness made him only think about rescuing Xia Yuntian, without realizing the consequences of his words. Xia Yuntian and the other three were enduring the black Gang Qi, and upon hearing Xia Qingfeng’s words, they felt utterly frustrated. They had gone to great lengths to hide the matter of Lin Feng, only to have it spoiled by Xia Qingfeng’s words.
The other informed parties were also upset, wishing they could kill Xia Qingfeng. If they revealed Lin Feng, how could Lin Feng protect the Hidden World in the future? Xia Qingfeng was simply asking for death. However, despite hating Xia Qingfeng, they couldn’t act with Wang Chou watching; he wouldn’t give them the chance.
Just as they expected, hearing Xia Qingfeng’s words, Wang Chou’s face lit up with joy, realizing a breakthrough was at hand. Knowing that Xia Yunfeng and the others dared deceive him, he immediately pressed down with Gang Qi, causing Xia Yunfeng and the others to cough up blood and be pressed into the earth. Yet, Wang Chou did not take their lives, merely letting them suffer.
After doing this, Wang Chou flashed forward, appearing before Xia Qingfeng while everyone else from the Xia Family was caught off guard. He looked at Xia Qingfeng, smiling as he asked: "Little boy, what’s the deal with this Lin Feng you mentioned? Who is he? Is he stronger than this old man?"
Though Wang Chou was smiling, his tone hinted at killing intent, making everyone present slightly fearful. He had already determined that the Lin Feng mentioned by the boy must be related to this matter. Anyone who could be compared to him should be qualified to face off against the Junior Sect Master. If not this Lin Feng, who else could have killed the Junior Sect Master? What’s more, the four Family Heads would rather be gravely injured than reveal Lin Feng’s name, indicating there was something suspicious!
"He’s the teacher our Xia Family hired. Of course, Teacher Lin is much stronger than you, he can fly in the sky like you. Moreover, he has defeated other Human Immortal Realm Powerhouses. How about that, scared yet? If you are, release our Family Head right away!" Xia Qingfeng, not catching Wang Chou’s implied meaning, continued to speak brashly, thinking that making Lin Feng sound more formidable would intimidate the other party and prompt their Family Head’s release.
Upon hearing Xia Qingfeng’s words, the four, including Xia Yuntian, closed their eyes. Xia Qingfeng’s remarks would certainly shift the focus to Lin Feng, making it impossible for them to keep hiding Lin Feng. Not only them, but the ancestors of the four Prominent Families also turned as pale as paper hearing the situation. They all hated Xia Qingfeng to death, wondering why the Xia Family produced someone so brainless, truly infuriating.
"Hahaha..."
Hearing Xia Qingfeng’s words, Wang Chou burst into laughter, convinced that this Lin Feng must be the one who killed the Junior Sect Master. The young ones from the other sects couldn’t possibly have done it; apart from Lin Feng, a formidable-sounding guy, no one else could have possibly done it!
After laughing, he reached out to grab Xia Qingfeng, clenching his hand and viciously said to Xia Qingfeng: "Take me to find this Lin Feng, or I’ll kill you!"
Suddenly seized by Wang Chou, Xia Qingfeng was startled. He didn’t even know how he was caught, but it was already like this, so he thought of taking this old geezer to find Lin Feng, letting Lin Feng kill him!
"Go, then! Let Teacher Lin kill you!" Xia Qingfeng said harshly, addressing Wang Chou. At this point, he feared nothing, confident that this old man would not be a match for Lin Feng, and that the old man’s demise was inevitable.
"Good, good, good... let’s go!" Hearing Xia Qingfeng’s words, Wang Chou grabbed Xia Qingfeng with one hand. After a simple word, he left with Xia Qingfeng...
......
In the Spirit Realm, Xia Yunfeng was cultivating with the children, seemingly having completely forgotten the matter of finding Lin Feng. Ding Wan’er and others were busy organizing rooms, and seeing nothing amiss, Lin Feng strolled out to wander around, suddenly noticing Xia Lalan and Moyan chatting a short distance away. Feeling intrigued, he went over.
"What are you two talking about?" Lin Feng asked Moyan curiously, thinking to himself what could be worth being so happy about between these two girls, chatting so enthusiastically.
"Lin Feng, Sister Moyan can now come out freely; her Divine Soul has almost recovered. Isn’t this something to celebrate?" Xia Lalan said to Lin Feng, only realizing his presence then, very happily. She had just learned of this news, celebrating the fact with Moyan, when Lin Feng unexpectedly came over.
