The Sacred Ruins

Chu Feng was gobsmacked. What was wrong with this little brother-in-law? He was coughing out large mouthfuls of soul blood, his eyes were bright red, and his body was even shaking slightly. He couldn’t have some unmentionable illness, right?

He was fully aware that the unmentionable diseases evolvers had on their soul light were order scars and were the most difficult to be healed.

“Wudi, don’t be afraid. Don’t be worried. Let Elder Brother-in-Law take a look and help heal you,” said Chu Feng as he walked forward. He wasn’t the slightest bit aware about the root of the problem.

This motherf*cking Elder Brother-in-Law. After Ying Wudi heard him address himself with this title, he was about to start shaking soon as though he had malaria. He swayed back and forth over there with his finger stretched out to point in front of him, yet even the tip of his finger was trembling.

Chu Feng was greatly alarmed. His little brother-in-law’s condition was even more serious than he imagined. It was as though he was shaking all over and he was spasming from head to toe. His breathing was increasingly hurried and crimson light shone from his eyes.

“It can’t be that someone unleashed a secret move on him when he was being pursued and injured his origin, right?”

Chu Feng decisively made a move; he was as quick as lightning as he activated his Yin-Yang Light right away to pin Ying Wudi in place. After that, he circled the other party once and examined him attentively.

“There’s a murderous aura on him!” Chu Feng concluded.

He thought that Ying Wudi’s soul light had order scars on them since evil tendencies hung in the air. This might be because his spirit was damaged from being repressed as a result of being pursued too tragically, so it needed to be purified with spiritual energy.

Ying Wudi naturally had murderous aura around him, but this was imposing murderous intent that soared immediately after he saw Chu Feng.

At this moment, Ying Wudi’s eyes were wide and he was shaking uncontrollably from head to toe as he was awfully angry.

He had been enduring it silently just now as he wanted to wait until Chu Feng got close to launch a ruthless attack on him. Yet, he never would have thought that the other party was even more decisive and treacherous than he was in making the first move.

Ying Wudi hatred toward Chu Feng was out of the question. Not only did Chu Feng tyrannically snatch his older sister away, he was extremely treacherous, too. Chu Feng was insincerely concerned about him just now which made him negligent. After that, Chu Feng made a move on him all of a sudden and locked him down over here.

There was a fire nesting in Ying Wudi’s heart. If he knew what was going to happen a long time ago, it would have been better for him to make a move right away and fight this human trafficker as if his life depended on it. In the end, he wanted to mount a sneak attack at the risk of being gentle and reserved, yet this demon actually countered and gained the upper hand by striking first.

Chu Feng was in doubt. Why did it seem as though his little brother-in-law was possessed? Even though he was sealed and his soul light couldn’t move, Ying Wudi was still gnashing his teeth over there.

“The damage on his spirit is rather serious!” Chu Feng solemnly concluded.

Ying Wudi was practically hovering between life and death; he was even spouting white smoke from his nose. The damage to his soul really wasn’t light, yet wasn’t it all because of that demon?!

But now, this human trafficker was exposing him in front of everyone. Was he humiliating him? Ying Wudi was indignant!

Ouyang Feng and the Little Daoist was watching this unfold with their utmost attention in what could be called a dignified and solemn manner. They clearly knew what was going on in their hearts, yet they were playing dead and weren’t saying a word. They wouldn’t tell Chu Feng the truth even if he beat them to death!

It was so rare for these two beings to stand in the same position and remain so silent. They watched passively from the sidelines with grave expressions. They accommodated Chu Feng very well in wearing serious expressions on their faces, especially when they heard Chu Feng’s diagnosis of the patient having an injury to his spirit.

The silver-haired little lolita was at a loss as plans revolved in her mind. She felt that it was enough for the matter to just about reach maturity because if that weren’t the case, her older brother would have to unleash the internal injuries he was bearing.

“Elder Brother-in-Law, quickly release my Elder Brother. He’s alright.”

Ying Wudi stood there and couldn’t move, but he spat out a mouthful of soul blood after he heard that term Elder Brother-in-Law.

“There’s a murderous aura! The evil tendencies in his heart has grown even stronger!” Chu Feng solemnly said.

“If you still won’t let him go, his murderous aura and evil tendencies will be enough to set the nine heavens on fire. Quickly! Stop spouting nonsense and let go of my Elder Brother!” The silver-haired little lolita rolled her eyes.

Chu Feng had a solemn expression as he said, “This won’t do. His condition is very dangerous. He has to be sealed first before we cure and get rid of the root cause. If not, I suspect he won’t even recognise his own family and kill his own people!”

At this moment, Ouyang Feng suspected that Chu Feng might be aware of it to some extent so he was using this opportunity to act stupid, thereby using this as a pretense to sort his little brother-in-law out. Could that be the case?

He knew Chu Feng too well and know his natural disposition in depth. After that, he increasingly felt that Chu Feng was tricking his little brother-in-law!

“F**k! He really is ruthless!” Ouyang Feng was stupefied.

At this moment, the Little Daoist was also suspicious and felt that this father was very treacherous. He might have already sussed out everything and was intentionally tormenting the other party.

The Little Daoist was increasingly of the firm opinion that this father was evil hearted and thick skinned; he wasn’t a person of good character!

Under the silver-haired little lolita’s request, Chu Feng was still hesitating as to whether he should undo the restriction he had on Ying Wudi. He had a very serious and cautious look on his face.

“Release Wudi,” said Ying Zhexian.

Chu Feng naturally had no choice. He quickly set about and released Ying Wudi.

“Great Demon Chu, I’m going to stake it all with you!” In the instance his movements were restored, Ying Wudi made a move in the first instance and decisively shrouded Chu Feng in eight beams of light.

Whoosh!

But Chu Feng’s Yin-Yang Light was even faster as it struck Ying Wudi immediately and locked him down again. It was clear that he had prior preparations and rose in revolt ahead of time.

“I’m your Elder Brother-in-Law. We’re family. Don’t misunderstand!” Chu Feng said in a low voice as he explained to Ying Wudi in a very serious manner.

Even if Ying Zhexian was such a pleasant person who didn’t care about anything, she couldn’t stand it any longer now. She rolled her eyes and warned Chu Feng not to spout nonsense.

But these words had a rather great destructive power on Ying Wudi. Was this demon going to emit his kingly tyrannical aura? He was brazenly intimidating him. How preposterous!

After that, everything before his eyes firmly went dark and a string of soul blood spun out of him like a whirlwind!

At this moment, Ying Zhexian and Ying Xiaoxiao rapidly stepped forward and helped heal him as they chased Chu Feng away.

Ouyang Feng stuck his head out and looked around. He shot a glance at the Little Daoist and said, “Great Nephew, let me test you with a numerical Daoism derivative question. Yes, the question is, please prove the surface area of Ying Wudi’s current psychological shadow.”

“It’s simple!” The Little Daoist was extremely calm and collected and he curled his lips right away.

They acted as though there was no one around them as they sought confirmation and answers over here.

“He successively spat out three mouthfuls of soul blood when he saw my father in mid-air. He then spat out two mouthfuls of soul blood when he was interacting with my Little Aunt. When he was having an amicable conversation with me, he spat out three mouthfuls of soul blood. Finally, he spat out three mouthfuls of soul blood after conversing with my father. Adding that all up from beginning till the end, there are eleven mouthfuls of soul blood in total. One mouthful of soul blood is equivalent to one ray of soul light. If we were to count it in this manner, he has lost eleven rays of soul light and his heart will naturally dim which is also the so-called shadow we’re talking about. This is caused by the reduction in soul light. After my calculations, the surface area of his shadow is...”

The Little Daoist jabbered on as he ran a round of calculations over there and obtained an accurate figure for the surface area of the shadow in Ying Wudi’s heard. It didn’t matter whether it was accurate or not because he assumed a look that seemed as though he made a lot of sense.

Ying Wudi spouted smoke through his seven orifices when he heard this, and he couldn’t stop himself from spouting out a mouthful of soul blood.

“Uncle, you really aren’t sincere. I just finished my calculations, yet you intentionally vomited blood. I have to correct my first figure and re-calculate it from the top!”

Ying Wudi was struggling as he wanted to fight the father and son pair as if his life depended on it. So be it if the Great Demon Chu was acting tyrannically, but his son didn’t have a good character, either, nay, he wasn’t a person at all.

Ouyang Feng cast a sidelong glance at the Little Daoist and repeatedly nodded his head as he said, “There is no need to doubt—you are definitely Chu Feng’s child. You even have the same lack in morality as he does. His bloodline has been passed on, and this truly is an erudite through paternal teaching and influence!”

“Father, let me tell you the true reason why Uncle views you as the enemy. He has an older sister complex and likes my Second Mother!” said the Little Daoist as he told Chu Feng the so-called truth.

In a split second, divine light shot out from his eyes and he felt a little dizzy. What kind of little brother-in-law had he encountered? Such a thing was possible?

After that, he forced his way through right away and was incomparably vigilant. He covered Ying Zhexian and Ying Xiaoxiao behind him as he commenced the so-called protection.

Ying Wudi’s face was so dark it was shocking. He was spasming from head to toe as someone who had an illustrious name his whole life was completely defeated by his younger sister and that Little Daoist. He only had a good relationship with his older sister, so how did he have an older sister complex?

He knew where the root cause of the trouble was. He was fairly gentle when he normally spoke to his older sister, but that younger lolita sister of his really worried him so he always suppressed her.

Therefore, in Ying Xiaoxiao’s eyes, this became the so-called... older sister complex?!

The Little Daoist had a tranquil and calm expression, but he secretly communicated with Ying Wudi and said, “Uncle, based on what I know, you can also call my father Younger Brother-in-Law!”

Ying Wudi felt his heart being pricked again and he almost jumped up. The Little Daoist fanned the flames of the fire and it was as though Ying Wudi’s whole body was set on fire as his soul light flared up.

After that, Ying Wudi saw Chu Feng decisively carrying the Little Daoist in his hands before he ruthlessly slapped him on the bottom.

That was because Chu Feng saw the Little Daoist’s soul light glittering endlessly when he faced Ying Wudi. He was definitely secretly transmitting his voice and definitely didn’t have any good intentions behind it.

“You great demon, why did you hit me?” The Little Daoist refused to accept it.

“I’m a great demon and you’re a little daoist. As the saying goes, a Daoist is a third of a meter tall, but a demon is ten times taller. I should hit you!” Chu Feng ruthlessly trashed him.

“Ouch! What shameful reason is that?! Even if you’re my father, I won’t be satisfied with such reasoning, either!” The Little Daoist was unsatisfied.

“You’re right. It’s just because I’m your father that I trashed you because I find you unpleasing to look at. I’d like to see if you still dare to fan the winds of evil and spread the fires of turmoil?” Chu Feng beat him up.

“Dearest Mother, are you going to do something about this? If you’re not going to, I really can’t help but to... attack in a manner of legitimate self-defense!” shouted the Little Daoist as he hugged his head.

In the end, Qin Luoyin still stepped forth and pulled his ear as she tugged him away immediately.

When this place quietened down, Ying Wudi looked at Chu Feng and was still panting heavily. There was still a tinge of red light in his eyes; there was no other way since the first impression was the strongest and he didn’t have a favorable impression of this Elder Brother-in-Law.

Even if Ying Zhexian lectured him and explained things to him clearly that there was no such thing as dual cultivation, that their soul lights were just linked so they were cultivating together and Chu Feng wasn’t his Elder Brother-in-Law... Even so, he was still unsatisfied and couldn’t swallow that mouthful of anger in him.

Ying Zhexian strictly admonished him and didn’t permit him to clash with Chu Feng. As such, Ying Wudi had no choice but to stifle the gloomy air in him.

After that, this odd group went on their way.

Chu Feng initially still had divine beast blood with him, but in view of Ying Wudi’s performance, he didn’t expend a drop but rather he joined hands with Ying Zhexian and tried to use the Wonderful Seven Treasures Technique to help him hammer his soul light into shape to forcibly extrude his Yang qi.

This kind of acute pain lasted for a very long time and he was progressing in such a manner all along the way for a good three months. In that time, they constantly heard Ying Wudi’s anguished wails.

If he had the divine beast blood, this would all end in two or three days.

But Chu Feng was called by the glorified name of being a great demon. He was tempering the Ying Family’s qilin through hardship; if he wanted to be the best man, he had to suffer the bitterest of hardship. As such, he was precisely not going to give him the divine beast blood.

“Uncle, did you see that? My father has tormented you for a full three months for something that can originally be resolved in two or three days. That’s not the end, either. I reckon it’ll take more than a year at the very least for you to completely refine your soul light into pure Yang qi. Irrespective of how the so-called Wonderful Seven Treasures Technique is in defiant of the natural order of the world, one has to look at the cultivation of the evolver using such a technique. He is intentionally tormenting you and stewing you over a low fire.”

“Chu Feng, your son said you’re intentionally tormenting me and suggests I take advantage of an appropriate opportunity to cause trouble for you.”

“Ouch! F*ck! Uncle, you picked such tricks and really are shameless! Are you going to frame me like that?” There was no doubt that the Little DAoist started to taste the bitter fruits of fanning the flames of the fire so many times; he was lifting the rock and smashing himself on the foot.

Bang, bang, bang...

Chu Feng gave him a ruthless beating.

Ouyang Feng stretched his head out and said to the Little Daoist, “Resign to your fate. Who asked you to call yourself the Little Daoist? Yet you call him the great demon too? Aren’t you just looking to be subdued? A Daoist is a third of a meter tall, but a demon is ten times taller. The main point is, it is the heaven’s law and earth’s principle for a father to beat his son.”

The Vicious Beast Plateau really was very big. Chu Feng and the rest only approached the City of the Moon God under the Moon Goddess’ regime at the end of the third month because the Little Daoist said he had a secret technique to seize a vessel and host themselves within it; outsiders wouldn’t be able to tell the difference within three months. As such, they wanted to blend into Moon City in that manner to join the Moon Goddess’ faction and learn her special technique.

But on that day, Chu Feng felt repressed and anxious in his heart.

At the same time, the Little Daoist felt terrified, too. His soul light glittered and he felt restless.

“Let’s go!” Chu Feng made a decision in the first instance. He joined forces with Ying Zhexian and unleashed the Wonderful Seven Treasures Technique as they took everyone along with them and turned into a gorgeous yet divine seven-colored ray of light. They swiftly disappeared from the depths of the forest. They made their getaway as they didn’t dare to enter the City of the Moon God.

As evolvers, they were very confident in their intuition; that was some kind of transcendent awareness arising from enlightenment and an ability that individuals who transitioned from the living stage might not necessarily be able to master.

On that day, a jewelled mirror soared and illuminated all parts of the City of the Moon God within a range of thousands of kilometers. All of the beasts of the field and the birds of the air shivered as they prostrated on the ground.

In a split second, the true souls of all living beings were locked in place and could be seen as clear as day.

“Strange. Was I momentarily prompted by an impulse? I didn’t discover anything.” A pleasant-sounding female voice came from the City of God and was as beautiful as the sound of nature.

The Moon Goddess awakened from her secluded state and used her Moon Soul Mirror in the first instance. She zeroed in on all living things and scouted out the area under her reign.

After a few days, Chu Feng and the rest broke out in cold sweat when they knew about the situation near the City of the Moon God after it happened. It really was thrilling.

Even if they could temporarily occupy suitable physical bodies with the Little Daoist’s secret technique, they weren’t secure at all. That Moon Goddess was too powerful and could sense what was going on in the unseen world of spirits.

“The gods can’t be deceived!”

They came to such a conclusion on that day. It was truly too difficult to hoodwink a god. The main reason was because the discrepancy in strength between both parties was far too great.

“How weird. We only want to learn the special technique. In the ordinary course of events, it shouldn’t be enough to threaten a deity. How is it that we alarmed her in advance?” muttered Ouyang Feng.

“Our group must definitely be unusually important, especially since we have a person of importance amongst us who will be a world-shaking existence in the future. Her divine light might have appeared in being so close to a deity and sensed such an existence,” said the Little Daoist. After that, he turned his hands over and puffed out his chest with a look of arrogance.

The meaning was very clear. He was going to be a person of importance in the future, and a deity was alarmed because of his existence.

Chu Feng patted him on the shoulder and said, “Yes, son. Work hard and become a supreme person of importance. I will also bask in the light of your glory and become the father of the supreme person of greatness.”

The Little Daoist despaired when he heard this and had an urge to be reincarnated again to be rid of this shameful father. He felt choked up with stress in his heart because he felt that this brazen person would take the greater part of whatever great achievements he accomplished when he was with him on the sole bases that he considered himself to be the Little Daoist’s father.

Half a year later, Chu Feng and the rest walked out of Vicious Beast Plateau and also left the surrounding wasteland, too, as they approached the Primal Chaos zone.

They went to look for that lower millstone to take a look at what the road was like when the gods of this world finally left.

They found it without a hitch. This wasn’t considered to be some kind of dangerous land. Desolate hills were adjacent to the Primal Chaos and it was a place with endless dried up land.

There was a spread of primal chaotic mist up ahead, and there was a lower millstone emitting an air of vicissitudes from ancient times as it slowly turned in that misty place.

Chu Feng’s heart leaped. Other than the fact that it was smaller, this lower millstone was exactly the same as the one in the Radiant City of Death!

“Can I successfully go over without my stone box this time?” muttered Chu Feng. He really wanted to crash his way through the lower millstone to see where the Deity Road behind it led to.

One had to know that many of those most powerful gods in this world would choose to walk this heavenly path when they reached their later years. It might be assumed that there were definitely many vestiges of gods and other good items on that road!

Chu Feng wandered around. After that, he discovered that a few patterns were shining in his soul light when he approached the lower millstone. They were lustrous like gems, and there was a wisp of black light amongst them.

At that time, the Little Daoist was anxious and jumped up. He hung onto Chu Feng and grabbed his collar. He was flustered and exasperated as he said, “And you said you didn’t use my black talisman paper! You even reflected it into your body! You liar! Give my great fortune back to me!”
