Chapter 2145: Secrets Feng Wuqing Knows (2)

"You should have mentioned it earlier, it made me so nervous..."

After arriving at Penglai Fairy Island, Ye Chenfeng and his companion took a seat in a pavilion.

"I really didn’t expect the mighty War God of Divine Land, the Immortal Sect Master, to be so approachable — it’s completely beyond my expectations."

In Ye Chenfeng’s imagination, Feng Wuqing should be the kind of deity with heavenly might, exuding an awe-inspiring presence.

Yet unexpectedly, he was just an ordinary person.

Feng Wuqing smiled faintly, "I am, after all, a mortal, just born in the Immortal Sect."

"Let’s skip the pleasantries; you probably already know what I want to ask."

Ye Chenfeng changed the topic.

"Tell me about the events that transpired in the Heavenly Sect World."

Subsequently, Ye Chenfeng recounted everything that happened in the Heavenly Sect World to Feng Wuqing.

"I see! You actually devoured the entire Underworld! That’s not just defying the heavens..."

Feng Wuqing was utterly shocked.

Ye Chenfeng sighed, "Sigh, I don’t know if it’s fortune or disaster. My strength has indeed increased tremendously, but in two years, this place has transformed into this."

"Regardless, did you really obtain the items from the Great Void Illusion Realm?"

Feng Wuqing looked at Ye Chenfeng cautiously.

"That’s right, they’re with me now, and the Heavenly Mystery Artifact is also in my possession."

Ye Chenfeng nodded.

"You now possess the power to destroy this world at any time! You must be careful; you’re not only controlling your destiny but the fate of everyone in this world! One misstep, and you could ruin everyone’s fate!"

Feng Wuqing exclaimed in astonishment.

Ye Chenfeng, however, smiled, "No, I feel you can stop me."

Upon hearing this, Feng Wuqing gave a mysterious smile.

He neither denied nor confirmed.

Regarding Feng Wuqing’s true strength, Ye Chenfeng still couldn’t fathom him.

He even vaguely felt that Feng Wuqing was not inferior to him.

After a series of fortuitous encounters, he had reached unimaginable heights; little did he know Feng Wuqing had reached this Realm as well.

Suddenly, Ye Chenfeng considered a possibility.

What if Feng Wuqing is God?

With his strength, he could undoubtedly accomplish that.

However, upon careful analysis, Feng Wuqing had no reason to do such things.

But the possibility couldn’t be ruled out!

"Can Senior Feng talk about the forbidden matters within the Great Void Illusion Realm? I doubt anyone in the Immortal Sect knows better than you."

Ye Chenfeng looked at Feng Wuqing with anticipation.

"Based on your description, you already know most of it. You guessed even the Feng Family bloodline; indeed, the Feng Family bloodline is the energy source of that killing tool."

"What’s the situation? Please elaborate."

Ye Chenfeng grew increasingly curious.

He estimated that from Feng Wuqing, he could unravel half, or even more, of his doubts.

Yet, Feng Wuqing, like the Divine Dragon, was elusive. Having finally encountered him, Ye Chenfeng naturally wouldn’t let the opportunity slip.

"Since my birth, the Death Knell has existed in the Immortal Sect for over a thousand years. The Feng Family has a legend that no Feng family member can live past forty. Later, I learned this curse was true!"

Feng Wuqing sighed, a trace of sorrow flickering in his eyes.

Ye Chenfeng seemed to grasp something, and couldn’t help but ask, "Does it mean every Immortal Sect Master is entered but never returned?"

"That’s correct; only when my father entered the Great Void Illusion Realm did I know this fact."

Feng Wuqing nodded.

"Is this your destiny?"

Ye Chenfeng asked.

"What I’ve heard is the Feng family and the Death Knell came from the same place, but information on my Feng Family has not been passed down by ancestors. Even I don’t know anything about my Feng Family. I only know one thing: our life’s destiny is to feed the Death Knell with our bodies. I heard my father say, the Feng Family is a slave family to the Death Knell; our existence is for what you call the Death Knell."

These revelations shocked Ye Chenfeng greatly — a family is actually a slave to a cold instrument, needing life to feed it?

Where do the Feng Family and the Death Knell originate?

Are these related to the world’s end?

Or perhaps to the Dark Council?

"I’ve always paid attention to you and your father; based on the clues I have, very likely we share the same origin."

Feng Wuqing delivered news so shocking to Ye Chenfeng.

They share the same origin?

"Senior, are you implying the Feng Family and the Death Knell are connected to my forsaken fate?"

Ye Chenfeng asked in disbelief.

"Yes! Based on what I know, it’s indeed so!"

Feng Wuqing nodded.

"Then could there be a possibility? We’re not of this world?"

Ye Chenfeng posed his question, his tone betraying a hint of fear.

Feng Wuqing shook his head, "No, we are still of this world."

"Phew."

Ye Chenfeng breathed a sigh of relief.

"May I ask, senior, did the Heavenly Prohibition Master use his body to suppress the Death Knell back then?"

Ye Chenfeng suddenly recalled this question.

Feng Wuqing nodded, "Yes, that’s correct. At that time, Mr. Qing Feng nearly activated the Death Knell, and the Heavenly Prohibition Master suppressed it with his body, which stabilized the Death Knell."

"I see! It’s much like I thought!"

Ye Chenfeng nodded.

But then Ye Chenfeng turned the topic, "How was the Heavenly Prohibition Master able to suppress the Death Knell? In simple terms, the Death Knell is a machine; how does it operate?"

"Specifically, I don’t know, but once the Death Knell operates, it can kill all living things in range, including those in the Great Void Illusion Realm. One can say, the Heavenly Prohibition Master is equivalent to thousands of living beings! Plus, with her various forbidden techniques, she was able to stabilize the Death Knell. But it still requires the Feng family’s descendants to feed it and ensure stability. One more thing, actually, the Heavenly Prohibition Master at that time was likely no less than us now."

Feng Wuqing explained, with a slight tremor.

A subtle smile appeared on Feng Wuqing’s lips, "The next sacrifice will be either you or me."

"Can’t I just destroy this damned thing?"

Ye Chenfeng asked.

"I haven’t thought about it, but you can try."

Feng Wuqing nodded.

"Does Senior know who Mr. Qing Feng intended to deal with when he acquired it?"

Ye Chenfeng asked.

Feng Wuqing shook his head, "I don’t know either; information was all confined to the Heavenly Sect World at that time, too little was known of the outside world. Back then, they had no understanding of what was beyond."

However, Feng Wuqing added, "Given that it’s intended for use, naturally it is to deal with an enemy or to destroy a place. This instrument is terrifying; once deployed, perhaps even the Heavenly Prohibition Master at that time couldn’t stop it."

"Do you mean Mr. Qing Feng originally had an enemy he was unable to deal with, hence wanted to utilize the Death Knell?"

Ye Chenfeng understood Feng Wuqing’s implication and analyzed immediately.

"Yes, exactly so. Or perhaps everything Mr. Qing Feng is doing now is still because of that enemy."

Feng Wuqing continued to delve deeper.
