Chapter 2132: Justice Without Mercy
Chapter 2132: Chapter 2132: Justice Without Mercy
Ye Feng’s words shocked the Shenque Ancestor.
He was not afraid of Ye Feng.
But now, Wuyuan Great Dao Venerable and dozens of other Grand Dao Venerables appeared nearby, along with hundreds of Dao Venerable Realm experts, most of whom were stronger than him.
How could this not alarm him?
Today, even a slight mistake could lead to total annihilation!
"Ye Feng, spare me!"
The Shenque City Young City Lord quickly used his knees as feet, kneeling and walking towards where Ye Feng stood, trying to hold Ye Feng’s leg with both hands, pleading for forgiveness.
But Ye Feng released his aura.
Even at the Four-Turn Heavenly Venerable Realm, he could easily pin the Shenque City Young City Lord in place.
"I want to spare you, but unfortunately, someone among you doesn’t want to spare me!"
Ye Feng said coldly.
Previously, while he was still at the Chaotic Dao Sect, a high-rank reaper from the Dark Night Pavilion came to kill him, revealing that it was a Dao Monarch at the peak who had voluntarily leaked the information to them.
Ye Feng felt that person was the City Lord of Shenque City.
But the City Lord of Shenque City lowered his head, his face blank, as if he knew nothing.
"Impressive self-restraint!"
Ye Feng thought to himself.
This person could become the City Lord of Shenque City and manage the entire city for the Shenque Ancestor, indicating strong determination.
His depth of character was also considerable.
"How could it be?" The Shenque Ancestor was startled, hastily asking Ye Feng, "Ye Feng, my young friend, how could anyone among us dare to harbor ill intentions toward you?"
Ye Feng sneered, "Are you pretending?"
He thought that the Shenque Ancestor should know about the City Lord of Shenque City providing his information to the Dark Night Pavilion.
But the latter looked completely baffled.
His acting skills were outstanding!
Ye Feng secretly mocked.
Wuyuan Great Dao Venerable walked over to the crowd, naturally standing by Ye Feng’s side: "Ye Feng, my young friend, you say there’s someone among the Shenque Ancestor and others who wants to harm you, is that true? Or do you have any evidence?"
"Yes." Ye Feng nodded.
"Impossible!" The Shenque City Young City Lord jumped up first, "I’m just jealous of Ye Feng, but I never intended harm!"
The Shenque Ancestor said in a deep voice, "I have never even met Ye Feng before, how could I harm him? Besides, I’m in the Dao Venerable Realm, why would I possibly harbor a grudge against a junior in the Heavenly Venerable Realm?"
Others also quickly dissociated themselves.
Wuyuan Great Dao Venerable looked at Ye Feng.
After all, the Shenque Ancestor was in the Dao Venerable Realm, considered high-end combat power within the Nine Provinces, and if the armies of the Horror Clan were to attack in the future, he would be able to contribute.
Without confirming that the Shenque Ancestor had harmed Ye Feng, Wuyuan Great Dao Venerable would not act rashly.
But if it were just a Dao Monarch...
Killing would just mean killing.
For Wuyuan Great Dao Venerable, training a Dao Monarch was a hundred times easier than training a Dao Venerable.
Ye Feng said, "Take a look at the scene!"
Saying this, he casually waved his hand.
In the void.
A three-dimensional image appeared, reflecting the entire process of the Blood Sickle Dao Monarch, a high-rank reaper from the Dark Night Pavilion, attacking Ye Feng in the Chaotic Dao Sect.
It naturally included the Blood Sickle Dao Monarch revealing that a Dao Monarch at the peak disclosed information about Ye Feng’s special physique to them. After watching, everyone looked at the City Lord of Shenque City.
"With so many Dao Monarchs at the peak, how can you just rely on cultivation level to assume it’s me? Could it not be someone else deliberately altering their cultivation aura to frame me?"
The City Lord of Shenque City defended loudly.
But his heart was already trembling.
Ye Feng said, "Although I don’t currently have concrete evidence, it doesn’t mean I can’t find it."
"Ye Feng, my young friend, I have a way." An elderly woman with silver hair came forward, an elusive Great Dao Venerable from Liangzhou, holding a snow-white staff about one and a half meters long, topped with a purple-gold bead, resembling the single eye of some creature.
"It is Snake-eyed Dao Venerable."
"It is said that she once slew a vicious Snake Demon in the central Forbidden Area of the Heavenly Sword Sea, whose cultivation was extremely profound, approaching a Grand Dao Venerable. The Snake Demon had a purple eye in the forehead, which Snake-eyed Dao Venerable refined into a top-grade Divine Weapon, capable of reading the inner world and reflecting past and future, a top-grade treasure for mind-reading."
Among the onlookers, there are always some informed ones.
In a few words, they explained the importance of the staff in Snake-eyed Dao Venerable’s hand.
Mind reading!
Reflecting past and future!
"This old lady doesn’t have many skills, but in interrogation, I have some confidence. Let me reveal the truth to you all." Snake-eyed Dao Venerable said aloud.
"Then thank you, senior," Ye Feng bowed to the Snake-eyed Dao Venerable.
Ye Feng possesses the Three Lives Stone, which he has integrated into the Chaos Triple Realm Cosmic Cluster, allowing him to reflect the past and future, but others might not necessarily believe it.
With a Grand Dao Venerable guaranteeing, it was different.
"No!" Seeing the Snake-eyed Dao Venerable, the City Lord of Shenque City turned pale.
The Shenque Ancestor frowned.
He realized that his junior indeed leaked Ye Feng’s information to the Dark Night Pavilion.
Damn it!
Is this going to get me killed?!
The Shenque Ancestor gnashed his teeth.
The Shenque City Young City Lord, on the other hand, stared wide-eyed at his father, not expecting him to reveal Ye Feng’s information to the Dark Night Pavilion, a vile organization.
It is well-known in the Nine Provinces area that the Dark Night Pavilion frequently harvests prodigies and sells their corpses to other strong practitioners in need, infamously notorious.
This organization is widely detested.
Yet, his father, a proud Dao Monarch at the peak, the City Lord of Shenque City, actually colluded with the Dark Night Pavilion, it would be a disgrace!
"Father, how could you do this?"
The Shenque City Young City Lord shouted.
The City Lord of Shenque City then lifted his head, calmly watching the approaching Snake-eyed Dao Venerable, and looking at Ye Feng not far away: "Heh, the victor becomes king, the loser becomes a bandit, I have nothing to say, kill me! I will bear all the guilt alone."
Ye Feng said coldly, "I need to know who wants to harm me. If others have done such things as well, they will surely be put to death without leniency, and it will not be up to you to decide."
For the City Lord of Shenque City willing to take responsibility, Ye Feng had some respect.
But an enemy is an enemy.
When it’s time to kill, be ruthless and merciless!
"Eye of Time, activate!"
Snake-eyed Dao Venerable began to cast the spell, holding the long handle of the Snake-eyed staff with both hands, making strange swinging motions in mid-air, summoning the Power of Laws of the Source of Time, condensing a phantom large eye in mid-air.
Reflecting past and future within.
In the scene.
The City Lord of Shenque City walked into a dim hall, revealing Ye Feng’s information to the Dark Night Pavilion, also stating that Ye Feng lacked a strong backer and could be harvested.
Subsequently, additional scenes played out.
Combined with Ye Feng publicly sharing the process of Radiant Daoist interrogating Blood Sickle Dao Monarch, the truth was revealed.
It was the City Lord of Shenque City who provided Ye Feng’s information to the Dark Night Pavilion’s branch set up in Yunzhou.
As for the Shenque Ancestor, the Shenque City Young City Lord, and other Dao Monarchs of Shenque City, they were unaware of this matter.
"What a City Lord of Shenque City, since you harmed Ye Feng, then die to atone for your sins!"
Wuyuan Great Dao Venerable said with a cold snort.
Ye Feng looked at the Shenque Ancestor and the Shenque City Young City Lord, among others, unexpectedly finding that they were not involved in conspiring against him.
In that case, there were no grievances anymore.
"I am willing to atone with my death."
The City Lord of Shenque City knelt on the ground, his gaze falling on the people around him. His eyes turned blood-red, and his body began to burn, undergoing self-termination through path dissolution.
"Father!"
The Shenque City Young City Lord cried in grief, kneeling and moving towards the City Lord of Shenque City, but his shoulder was held down by a large hand from the Shenque Ancestor behind him, preventing him from moving.
"No..."
Through blurry, tear-filled eyes, the Shenque City Young City Lord watched as the City Lord of Shenque City finally turned into a wisp of ash, his body and soul dissipated, prompting him to cry aloud.
Others remained silent.
They acknowledged that the City Lord of Shenque City, who dared to dissolve his path and terminate himself, still had some gallantry.
This person could be regarded as a hero.
Unfortunately, he chose the wrong side.
Wuyuan Great Dao Venerable withdrew his gaze and looked at Ye Feng beside him, speaking in a deep voice, "If what Blood Sickle Dao Monarch said isn’t wrong, then the Dark Night Pavilion surprisingly has a reclusive Grand Dao Venerable guarding it. Moreover, its headquarters are actually established in Tianzhou, which is indeed bad news."
Everyone looked at several Dao Venerables among them.
These were the powerhouses from Tianzhou.
"Do you suspect us?" A handsome middle-aged man spread his hands, being a Dao Venerable from Tianzhou with unfathomable strength.
"No." Wuyuan Great Dao Venerable shook his head. "I just want to ask, with the headquarters of the Dark Night Pavilion in Tianzhou, have you discovered anything?"
"No."
Several Dao Venerables including the middle-aged man shook their heads.
"The Dark Night Pavilion has always been a shady underground power. One day, it must be eradicated," said a certain Dao Venerable with murderous intent on his face.
One of his juniors, due to concealing his identity while training outside, was taken by the Dark Night Pavilion.
He had always harbored resentment about this matter.
"Yes, we must wipe out the Dark Night Pavilion in the future."
Other Dao Venerables nodded in agreement.
Based on the current information, the Dark Night Pavilion only had one Dao Venerable presiding, while there were dozens of Dao Venerables present, enough to kill the opposition.
"What about them?"
Wuyuan Great Dao Venerable pointed at the kneeling Shenque Ancestor and Shenque City Young City Lord, among others.
Ye Feng said, "They did not harm me. Although there had been some conflicts before, I have already resolved them."
"Then get lost!" Wuyuan Great Dao Venerable waved his hand.
The Shenque Ancestor, as if granted amnesty, prepared to leave with the Shenque City Young City Lord, among others.
"Wait!" Wuyuan Great Dao Venerable raised his eyebrows, pointing at the Shenque Ancestor. "You have failed in your guidance; go face the wall at our Wuyuan City’s Laoshan for a hundred years before leaving."
"Yes." The Shenque Ancestor sighed with relief.
Just facing the wall for a hundred years, thankfully.
Not long after, the remaining Dao Monarchs of Shenque City carried the devastated Shenque City Young City Lord, stepping onto the teleportation array and returning to Shenque City.
The Shenque Ancestor then arrived at the Laoshan of Wuyuan City, looking at the pitch-black wall, accepting his punishment.
For the next hundred years, he would spend his time there.
The matter quickly concluded.
And the news of the Shenque City Lord being forced into path dissolution quickly spread all over Nine Provinces.
Yunzhou, Jade Capital City.
"Hahaha, truly heaven-sent help. Now that the Shenque Ancestor is punished to face the wall, there is one less strong rival in the struggle for the Annihilation Dao Venerable’s tomb. However, I’ve now advanced to the mid-stage Dao Venerable. Even if Miaoyin Old Ancestor and the Shenque Ancestor enter the tomb together, they still can’t match me."
The Jade Capital Ancestor laughed heartily.
In his view, assisting Ye Feng was the most successful investment of his life.
"Congratulations to the Ancestor."
The Jade Capital City Lord congratulated in advance.
Miaoyin Square.
A stunningly beautiful woman sighed.
"I didn’t expect such a big matter to occur, with even the Shenque Ancestor punished to face the wall. With just my initial peak Dao Venerable, it seems difficult to open the Annihilation Dao Venerable’s tomb and obtain the treasures within."
Miaoyin Old Ancestor sighed.
The leader of Miaoyin Square asked, "Old Ancestor, what should we do?"
Miaoyin Old Ancestor replied, "The second master of Shenque City has returned to Shenque City with Shenque City Young City Lord and others and sent the token to me. I intend to make the token public. This way, Dao Monarchs and initial Dao Venerables from Haizhou and Yunzhou, as well as other continents, should all try to enter the tomb of the Annihilation Dao Venerable."
After a pause, she added, "This way, we might still have the chance to fish in troubled waters."
"The Old Ancestor is wise!"
Soon, a piece of news spread.
Miaoyin Square publicized the token of the Annihilation Dao Venerable, causing many peak Dao Monarchs, Half-Step Dao Venerables, and initial Dao Venerable powerhouses to set out, obtaining replicas of the token.
It was a Spirit Talisman.
With this item, one could enter the tomb.
Wuyuan City.
Ye Feng was on the Picking Star Platform comprehending scriptures, becoming greatly surprised upon learning through the Void Heavenly World about the outside happenings.
"So, when the time comes, there will be at least hundreds or even thousands of people entering the Annihilation Dao Venerable’s tomb, trying to find a way to advance to Dao Venerable or mid-stage Dao Venerable?"
Ye Feng sent a voice transmission to the Radiant Daoist.
"Yes." The Radiant Daoist replied.
Ye Feng was speechless, saying, "To the peak Dao Monarchs, the Annihilation Dao Venerable’s tomb is indeed very attractive. But why are so many Dao Venerables getting involved? Wasn’t Annihilation Dao Venerable just an ordinary initial Dao Venerable? He’s not worth so many Dao Venerables taking action, is he?"
The Radiant Daoist explained:
"It is said that the Annihilation Dao Venerable is faking his death. Many people have guessed this, so many initial Dao Venerables want to kill him, to harvest his insight into Laws and Origin."
"Sect Leader, after experiencing the events in Wuyuan City, you should know that Dao Venerables are relatively hard to kill. Not even Wuyuan Great Dao Venerable is willing to kill a Dao Venerable rashly. After all, Dao Venerables are high-end combat forces. Should the Horror Clan appear, Dao Venerables can play a substantial role. In normal times, Dao Venerables rarely die."
"But this time is different."
"Many people believe that Annihilation Dao Venerable feigned death and intentionally leaked the tomb’s information, intending to devour anyone who enters. Naturally, such a sinister person has attracted the dissatisfaction of many Dao Venerables, who want to join forces to deal with him."
"This is what people call ’everyone pushes a falling wall.’"
The Radiant Daoist kept analyzing.
Hearing this, Ye Feng found it made a lot of sense.
"Sect Leader, based on our intelligence branches set up across Haizhou, more and more people are entering Haizhou now, waiting for the tomb to open. By the way, subordinates have also bought a Spirit Talisman token. When the tomb opens, we can also enter and have some fun."
The Radiant Daoist chuckled.
During this period, Ye Feng sparely flew to various regions of Haizhou, burying Doors of the Outer Realm, allowing the powerhouses of Chaos Triple Realm Cosmos Cluster to quickly reach various areas of Haizhou.
Therefore, the intelligence network was built.
As Ye Feng "unlocks" more areas, the coverage of the intelligence network will become wider. One day, Ye Feng’s exclusive intelligence network will spread throughout the Origin of All Things, gathering various intelligence.
By then, the speed of collecting treasures will be thousands of times faster than now.
Ye Feng replied, "Okay!"
With that, he continued to comprehend the scriptures.
[Ding, congratulations on the Misty Holy Sect’s Prestige Points surpassing ten trillion trillion, upgrading the Holy Divine Form!]
The system’s notification sound suddenly rang out.
This instantly invigorated Ye Feng.
