Chapter 2813 The Murderer...

"Demon, Demon Clan?" Fan Yun was unsure, and looked at Lin Feng with astonishment. Countless years ago, during that ancient war, all the Divine Emperors in the Myriad Heavens Divine Realm participated. It could be said that it was a nightmare for the Myriad Heavens Divine Realm. After the fierce battle, they organized the bodies of the deceased and found that many had similar wounds on them. At that time, they didn’t understand why the Demon Clan used such strange methods.

But after that, the Myriad Heavens Divine Realm remained peaceful for countless years. Unexpectedly, today they saw such wounds again. What does this signify? A bad feeling arose in his heart, and he suddenly became fearful.

Lin Feng looked at Fan Yun and Song Cheng and affirmed, "I think so."

Upon hearing Lin Feng’s confirmed answer, Fan Yun, who had been standing there, fell onto a chair. This was an answer he never expected—the murderer of Murong He turned out to be someone from the Demon Clan, and this happened on the territory of his Myriad Gods Tower in the Myriad Heavens Divine Realm. How could he accept this?

Moreover, he was curious as to how Lin Feng knew about this matter. Logically, given Lin Feng’s young age, it would be strange for him to have even heard of the Demon Clan. Yet Lin Feng knew about the Demon Clan’s methods of murder. If it weren’t for Lin Feng’s reminder, they wouldn’t have thought to check Murong He’s body.

He looked at Lin Feng and asked, "Young Friend Lin, what do you think we should do next?"

"From now on, the Tower Master must listen carefully to every word I say. I am not speaking falsehoods, and this might concern the survival of the entire Myriad Heavens Divine Realm," Lin Feng suddenly said seriously to Fan Yun. Given the situation, he felt it necessary to share what he had learned over the years about the Demon Clan with Fan Yun. If the words of Wuxiang Diviner were true—that he was the savior of the entire Myriad Heavens Divine Realm—then he had the responsibility to make everyone vigilant.

The last time Fan Yun saw this expression on Lin Feng and heard him speak these words, he knew Lin Feng was not joking. This time, he also realized the gravity of the situation, his face looking very grim, and he said to Lin Feng, "Please speak, Young Friend Lin."

"Previously, I found a tree of the Demon Clan at the Frost Highland. That might be an entrance for the Demon Clan. I suspect someone from the Demon Clan has been lurking within the Myriad Heavens Divine Realm. Also, I once dueled with an elder from another space in the Western Wasteland and felt the passage to the Demon Domain open. I believe the Demon Clan will soon invade the Myriad Heavens Divine Realm again."

Lin Feng looked at the three and explained the facts. Previously, during a duel with the Spirit Ruins Emperor, they nearly let the Demon Clan infiltrate. Luckily, they patched the space rift, but this was not a long-term solution.

Upon hearing Lin Feng’s words, the three widened their eyes. Although they knew every word Lin Feng said was true, they still found it hard to believe. For so many years, nothing had happened, as if the entire Myriad Heavens Divine Realm had forgotten about this issue. Moreover, they didn’t know why the Demon Clan retreated quietly last time, and the reason for their renewed attack after so many years was unclear.

If the truth were to come out, they could imagine the outcome. Not just now, but before, countless Divine Emperors couldn’t defeat the tens of thousands from the Demon Clan. Moreover, now there is only one person who can be called a Divine Emperor in the Myriad Heavens Divine Realm, so how can they contend with the Demon Clan?

The room fell silent for a moment. Fan Yun raised his eyes, bloodshot, and asked Lin Feng, "Young Friend Lin, do you have any solution to deal with the Demon Clan?"

He already didn’t know what to say. The matter was so severe that he had to discuss it with the elders from the Myriad Heavens Divine Cult, Transcendence Pond, and Land of All Gods. If what Lin Feng said turned out to be true, they could make preparations in advance.

"I have no solution," Lin Feng directly replied. He didn’t inform Fan Yun of what Wuxiang Diviner said because even if he did, Fan Yun wouldn’t believe it. After all, he was just an Ascender. What capability did he have to save the entire Myriad Heavens Divine Realm? He indeed had no good solutions at the moment.

Fan Yun also didn’t say much more, then said to Lin Feng, "Thank you, Young Friend Lin, for your help. If it weren’t for you, we wouldn’t know how to explain to Sect Leader Murong."

"The Tower Master is too kind. It’s just a small effort on my part. The matters of the Myriad Heavens Divine Cult are not for me to intervene. I plan to leave Ling City tomorrow." Lin Feng said as he looked at Fan Yun. He wasn’t actually afraid of facing Murong Chuan but felt that at this critical juncture, if he acted against Murong Chuan, the Myriad Heavens Divine Cult might be very useful if the Demon Clan really came. It’s better to endure for now, though he had already decided that if Murong Chuan attacked the Holy Pill Pavilion, he couldn’t stay indifferent.

"Young Friend Lin, I have always been puzzled by the words you said when we parted last time." Fan Yun suddenly brought up the matter and asked directly. He wasn’t one to beat around the bush, and he felt he could converse well with Lin Feng, still wondering what Lin Feng’s words implied.

With a carefree smile, Lin Feng looked at Fan Yun and said, "I was joking. There are no eternal friends, nor eternal foes. I just said it casually, don’t take it to heart."

Lin Feng felt it was best to keep the matters of the sect confidential for now. He didn’t know whether the Demon Clan would come first or the Myriad Heavens Divine Realm would target his sect first. In any case, both matters were ones he had to face. He only hoped nothing unexpected would happen before the sect was established.

"Where will Young Friend Lin go next?" Fan Yun asked proactively. He felt that Lin Feng’s wisdom and strength were beyond common. Just take the murder of Murong He, for example. If not for Lin Feng, things wouldn’t have gone so smoothly. If the Demon Clan really came, they might need Lin Feng’s help, so he wanted to know Lin Feng’s whereabouts.

"Not sure, but if the Demon Clan does invade the Myriad Heavens Divine Realm, I will definitely appear," Lin Feng promised as he looked at Fan Yun. This promise was not only to Fan Yun but also to himself. He hoped this day would be delayed; his current strength was far from enough, and he really wished for more time.

Fan Yun looked at Lin Feng, finally showing a slight smile and said, "Alright, it’s settled."

"Then I will take my leave." Lin Feng got up and said to Fan Yun, Song Cheng, and Elder Zhao.

Song Cheng also stood up, looking at Lin Feng. Although he hadn’t spoken much with Lin Feng, he felt Lin Feng must be hiding something.

"Thank you, Young Friend Lin, truly thank you. I’ll fetch the Yuan Stones for you and then escort you out." Elder Zhao saw the matter finally settled, and the tension in his heart was relieved. Lin Feng could be considered his benefactor, and he didn’t know how to express gratitude.

"Okay." After bidding farewell to Fan Yun and Song Cheng, Lin Feng left with Elder Zhao, conversing mysteriously with Elder Zhao along the way. He discovered that after they finished speaking, a sliver of Force of Merit quietly entered his body. He went to the accounts room, took out the Yuan Stone pouch, placed it into his Space Ring, and then left the auction house alone.

Early the next morning, Lin Feng took Si Hong, Tangyuan, and Xiao Jiu and rode the Purple Feather Abyssal Phoenix to leave Ling City...

Meanwhile, Murong Chuan also arrived at the auction house as Lin Feng left. Upon seeing Murong He lying in the Ice Coffin, he was immediately grief-stricken. He had only this one brother, and upon hearing the news, the first suspect he thought of was Lin Feng. However, the most urgent issue was to arrange for his brother’s affairs. He would not let Murong He die in vain.

Fan Yun saw Murong Chuan’s state but did not interrupt or greet him. Although Murong Chuan was the Sect Hierarch of the Myriad Heavens Divine Cult, the relationship between the Myriad Gods Tower and the Myriad Heavens Divine Cult was never much, and he and Murong Chuan were comparable in strength. Since it was confirmed to be the Demon Clan’s doing, he did not feel the need to apologize to Murong Chuan. He just stood there, watching quietly.

After the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, Murong Chuan rose from beside the Ice Coffin and then looked at Fan Yun, saying, "Tower Master Fan, shouldn’t there be an explanation? The death occurred at your auction house. Has the murderer been found?"

Murong Chuan’s tone was extremely cold, as if pushing all the responsibility onto the Myriad Gods Tower. This stance seemed as if if the murderer wasn’t caught, everyone would accompany Murong He in death.

"Sect Leader Murong, I think you already know who the murderer is." Fan Yun’s tone was neither humble nor arrogant. He showed no fear toward the Myriad Heavens Divine Cult, then gestured for someone to turn over Murong He’s body and remove his clothes, revealing three distinct holes that entered Murong Chuan’s view.

This is impossible!

Seeing the three holes on the back, Murong Chuan almost exclaimed in shock. How could it be the work of the Demon Clan? His Myriad Heavens Divine Cult had no grudges with the Demon Clan. Why would the Demon Clan target his brother? At this moment, he was not thinking of anything else but was worried about the Myriad Heavens Divine Cult’s safety. How could he not know the power of the Demon Clan? Then he looked at Fan Yun and asked, "What exactly happened?"

Fan Yun gestured to Elder Zhao, who stepped forward, bowed to Murong Chuan, and then said, "On the day of the annual auction, Elder Murong bid on two treasures. Presumably, the Demon Clan was trying to seize these treasures and thus targeted Elder Murong..."

He explained the matter in detail to Murong Chuan, including the mysterious figure in Box No. 1. All the reasoning was taught by Lin Feng before he left, instructing him to explain to Murong Chuan concisely and clearly, while also absolving the Myriad Gods Tower from the situation. He truly admired Lin Feng’s wisdom.

After hearing Elder Zhao’s explanation, Murong Chuan finally understood the situation. Though quick-tempered, he was also reasonable; otherwise, he wouldn’t have reached his current position. Then he said to Fan Yun, "Tower Master Fan, I apologize for earlier offenses."

A person had died, and since it was the Demon Clan’s doing, he couldn’t take out his anger on others. It seemed he could only accept his fate. Only now did he realize the gravity of the situation. Previously, perhaps due to over-sorrow, he hadn’t considered this problem. The Demon Clan’s appearance in the Myriad Heavens Divine Realm was certainly not a simple matter. He looked at Fan Yun, hoping for an explanation of this situation.
