Rebirth: He refused to Divorce Again

Chapter 1838: Chapter 1836: Cripple Her

But right now, this place is where Liu Ling is firmly imprisoned, and even if she had sky-reaching abilities, she couldn’t escape.

Everyone was watching the images about to flash on the Memory Stone.

And when that light hit Liu Ling, imprinting her figure onto it, the ritual was considered complete.

So, everyone was focused, especially Liu Ling, not blinking, as if even her heartbeat was going to stop. She knew that once she passed this hurdle, she would fear nothing anymore.

So, no one noticed Chu Chengfeng’s hand movements, but Sima Xiaowen did. Perhaps it was fate’s design; at such a moment, her gaze should have been on the Memory Stone or Liu Ling, or she shouldn’t have been looking at all and just lowered her head, but she chose to look at Chu Chengfeng.

During the time spent with Chu Chengfeng, she really got to know him quite well, and she also knew one of his little habits.

That is, when he’s planning to do something, he subconsciously clenches his right hand into a fist and then touches the pad of his index finger with his thumb—a motion she has seen quite a few times, so it’s deeply imprinted in her memory.

When Sima Xiaowen saw Chu Chengfeng make this motion in the midst of this tranquil and sacred atmosphere, a peculiar feeling arose in her heart.

Her eyes widened involuntarily.

All this happened in the blink of an eye, almost as quickly as a lightning strike, and before the Memory Stone could display its images, beams of light suddenly rose around Liu Ling.

The lights were black, with red flames burning atop them, and countless fireballs appeared around Liu Ling, encircling her completely.

Elder Sima and Elder San Ye, who were the closest, also involuntarily retreated several steps.

Because when this mechanism was activated, the divine power had the ability to attack the surroundings.

Everyone’s expression changed; they did not know what was happening.

At this moment, Chu Chengfeng spoke coldly, "Everyone, look at the Memory Stone."

Just those five short words rolled off the lips like thunderclaps, exploding in the Divine Land Hall, suddenly weighing everyone’s mood heavily.

They involuntarily looked toward the Memory Stone, and the images began to play. Liu Ling, amidst this sudden change, did not react. At first, she thought it was part of the ritual.

But she felt something was off, as she couldn’t move.

A thread of fear rose in Liu Ling’s heart, and before she could question Chu Chengfeng, images appeared of her with Shui Liuzi and Sima Xiaowen.

The Memory Stone, as the name suggests, could only capture shadows, without the voices from the images. Yet as scene after scene flashed, everyone understood—the true culprit was Liu Ling.

As they saw Sima Xiaowen drenched in blood, desperately trying to stop Shui Liuzi and Liu Ling from breaking the seal of the hall.

Though there was no sound, the picture was vivid—Elder Sima’s eyes glistening with fury, hands clenched tightly. In almost a blink of an eye, clusters of flames appeared in his palm. Liu Ling, at this time, already pale-faced, was unaware of those actions having been recorded by the Memory Stone.

If she had known, she would have destroyed the Memory Stone. But after all those incidents that year, the hall was sealed, allowing no one inside, including her.

The Memory Stone could only record events within the hall, not outside, and then they saw Chief Mo Li crazily rushing in, using his Cultivation Technique and Spiritual Fire to save Sima Xiaowen from those two.

However, it was too late, as the seal had been broken before his arrival. He had merely managed to save Sima Xiaowen’s life; nothing else had changed.

The people had countless questions to ask, and Elder Sima wanted to kill Liu Ling.

Yet he did not move but rather watched as the images turned to darkness, the light from the Memory Stone faded bit by bit, returning to its ordinary appearance.

Chu Chengfeng originally intended to expose the truth publicly, but only discovered two nights ago that the Memory Stone had been activated at the time and recorded the events prior to the seal—therefore he opened the Memory Stone.

This was something the elders and Liu Ling never expected.

These images alone were enough to prove the truth back then!

As for the subsequent events, they no longer mattered. After the Phoenix Clan’s internal massacre, the Old Clan Leader was dead, the Clan Leader’s Wife was dead, several elders vanished into nothingness, and Chu Chengfeng fell into a coma for three days and nights before waking. Upon waking, he had forgotten many things; now everyone understood surely someone had wiped his memory.

At this moment, Liu Ling was trembling, her hands clenched into fists, and suddenly, she began to summon all her cultivation, releasing her Spiritual Fire and the massive Fire Phoenix. Her Fire Phoenix, unlike others, shimmered with a golden glow, thanks to benefits she once received, but unfortunately, this formation was originally meant to protect those standing here from sneak attacks.

Naturally, she couldn’t escape.

Chu Chengfeng swiftly moved in front of Liu Ling, abruptly reaching out to catch the Fire Phoenix flying around within the formation, seeking an opening to escape.

Chu Chengfeng’s entire being was icy cold, eyes sharp, and with a sudden exertion of force, a black and red flame appeared in his palm, morphing into the mouth of a giant dragon, swallowing Liu Ling’s Fire Phoenix in an instant.

Chu Chengfeng grasped Liu Ling’s throat, his hand reaching her forehead, forcibly extracting Liu Ling’s Lifebound Spirit Fire.

With a little force, he turned the Spirit Fire to ashes; at this time, Liu Ling’s complexion turned purplish, drenched in sweat, watching Chu Chengfeng as if he were about to devour her.

Chu Chengfeng loosened his grip, and Liu Ling collapsed onto the ground.

Liu Ling knew at this time that her cultivation had been utterly abolished, and her Spiritual Fire was gone. Apart from having the Phoenix Clan’s bloodline, she was now no different from an ordinary person.

She was nearly strangled to death, coughing incessantly.

Subsequently, Chu Chengfeng flicked his fingers, causing Liu Ling to kneel on the ground. Chu Chengfeng pressed a nearby button, causing the surrounding flame formation to vanish, but by this time Liu Ling was already unable to resist.

Even without this formation, Liu Ling couldn’t escape.

Chu Chengfeng, cautious in his actions, merely added an extra layer of security, as this woman was ruthless; hence, when dealing with her, one must always be vigilant.
