The Sacred Ruins

Chapter 806: The Glint and Flash of Swords between Women

Translator: Alsey Editor: Chrissy

There was a bare region within the forest. Chu Feng and Ouyang Feng were going through the tribulation. Blood-colored and green lightning danced together while the duo was grimacing in pain as they endured the acute pain and were subjected to torture.

Not too far away, Ying Zhexian and Qin Luoyin weren’t even giving Chu Feng a single glance in his direction as though they had neglected him and were minding their own businesses as they walked in their respective directions.

“Elder Sister, let me tell you: biological brothers have to settle their accounts with each other, much less close female friends. As the saying goes, you have to protect yourself against fire, thieves, and close female friends. The problem today is very serious. You can’t cower nor can you give in. You must have a proper discussion about it!”

The silver-haired little lolita raised propositions as she tagged along beside her older sister with her small face stretched taut as she blinked with her large eyes. She had a very serious and solemn look as she repeatedly warned her older sister.

Ying Zhexian still hadn’t expressed anything. Chu Feng clearly heard what Ying Xiaoxiao said in the distance and felt that the sky was spinning and the ground was turning dark beneath him. He never would’ve thought that this younger sister-in-law had such great destructive power!

From his point of view, it was guaranteed they would fight with Ying Xiaoxiao’s participation. What was he going to do when that time came?

He paid the price for this distraction. The final wave of blood-colored lightning from the lightning tribulation descended upon him and the most violent and terrifying heavenly punishment arrived.

Rumble!

The sky collapsed and the earth cracked open. Chu Feng’s soul light almost dissipated upon contact. It would be regarded that he had passed the heaven tribulation after he endured this wave. If he really couldn’t carry this burden, his soul would fly away and scatter.

“Elder Sister, why don’t you say something? You can’t be so magnanimous. You’ve already cultivated your soul light with him in tandem. This isn’t some secret. Even I know that. This is equivalent to leading a child like me astray. You can’t back away midway. You have to stick to it to the very end!”

The silver-haired little lolita was definitely doing this on purpose. She was straightforward as she said this in a soft voice without hiding it from anyone.

Chu Feng really wanted to say, Does a so-called child like you need others to lead you astray? You matured far too early and you’re even worse than Ouyang Feng. When he thought about all these, he couldn’t stop himself from murmuring it under his breath.

Ouyang Feng cursed.

After that, he looked at Chu Feng through slanted eyes as he said, “Your mother is a prostitute. What’s it got to do with me? All of this are your family matters. Grandfather Ouyang is being unjustly ridiculed even while going through this tribulation. Also, I see that your son isn’t of the benevolent kind. As it turns out, it was passed down from one bloodline to another since he inherited it from you! There’s nothing good about any of you!”

Ouyang Feng still felt angry and irritated at the green remarks the Little Daoist made just now.

In the distance, Ying Zhexian decisively sorted her younger sister out. She pinched her small face and secretly taught her a lesson.

At this moment, Ying Zhexian and Qin Luoyin were walking together. They both wore smiles on their faces when they met each other. One was as pure and elegant as an immortal, and the other was noble and graceful. Both of them had exceptional complexions.

A conflict didn’t arise between the two and they didn’t have an air of smoke and fire with them. They were talking extremely harmoniously as they talked and laughed without end.

“There’s a murderous aura! The both of them are hiding daggers in their smiles! Huh? Elder Sister Luoyin’s words secretly held a cutting edge just now. Eh, my Elder Sister isn’t a simple person, either. There’s firmness in her softness. She’s an expert!”

The silver-haired little lolita was deciphering what was going on over there. This made Chu Feng speechless because he couldn’t see through it. He really wanted to say, What are you grasping at as you please!?

But he too was slightly skeptical. Was there really the glint and flash of swords behind the gentle conversation the two close female friends who were like sisters had just now? If it wasn’t for the silver-haired little lolita’s interpretation, he really didn’t notice it.

Chu Feng only felt that the both of them seemed to have hidden eloquence between them when he heard Ying Xiaoxiao’s commentary.

But this was too vague. He felt that it appeared to be right but was actually wrong because he really couldn’t discern it in the beginning.

For example, Qin Luoyin praised Ying Zhexian for being increasingly extraordinary and ethereal; she exuded a faintly discernible feeling that she was withdrawn from worldly affairs and that she was getting further and further away from the world of the mortals.

Chu Feng felt that that was indeed so. Ying Zhexian was normally cold and pure, simple yet elegant and serene. She truly was like Chang’e, the Fairy in the Moon Palace and gave off a feeling that she transcended worldliness in the mortal world.

But based on Ying Xiaoxiao’s interpretation, Qin Luoyin was admonishing Ying Zhexian to continue being a fairy who was withdrawn from worldly affairs and not to be enticed by her desire of the world of mortals; she shouldn’t come between her and Chu Feng.

Another example would be Ying Zhexian praising Qin Luoyin as being graceful and behaving in manners appropriate to the occasion. She also said it was no wonder why she was the goddess youngsters from every race yearned for in the starry sky.

In the end, based on the silver-haired little lolita’s explanation, this was her older sister’s incisive counterattack. She was saying that Dameng Pure Land attached importance to their honor. Qin Luoyin was destined to result in nothing with Chu Feng because based on the regulations of her orthodoxy, Qin Luoyin definitely couldn’t walk together with her enemy. She had no other choice but to be a noble goddess as before. Dameng Pure Land didn’t permit her to expose the relationship between her and Chu Feng.

Chu Feng was speechless. He felt that he wasn’t stupid and that he was even considerably sharp, but he really didn’t realize these things in the beginning.

The silver-haired little lolita’s interpretation was really detailed as she attentively pondered it through as though she really knew what was going on.

Chu Feng really wanted to let out a long sigh while looking up at the sky. How did the top ten train their children? Were the thoughts of such a young child so complex?

Ouyang Feng, who was currently going through the tribulation, was also speechless beside him. He endured the lightning strikes while he said to Chu Feng, “The people from your family are really impressive. Every single one of them are too profound to be understood. Even a weird little girl is a she-devil.”

“What do you mean my family?!” Chu Feng retorted.

“Didn’t you hear what your son said? This silver-haired little lolita might evolve and become your third or fourth mistress!”

Chu Feng had no time to acknowledge him because the final wave of blood-colored lightning was too violent as it struck him to the point where he flipped over on the ground. Whether he was going to live or die was going to be put to the test, and the final moment had descended upon him.

“Elder Sister, there really is no need for you and Elder Sister Qin to clash swords. I think that this is a very simple matter!” The silver-haired little lolita couldn’t stay idle as she started to put forward plans and ideas.

“If you dare to babble nonsense, you’d better watch out for me sealing your tiny mouth. Luoyin and I are reminiscing about our former times. It’s very normal. How is it as complicated as your mind is making it out to be?!” chided Ying Zhexian.

“Tch, you really still treat me like a child. You have to know that our mother has handed down her technique to me. She’s deeply versed in the Palace Combat Technique! In those days, our father was originally going to marry nine concubines. They were all close female friends from their respective races who got to know each other when they were gaining experience in the universe. Yet, our mother got rid of seven of them with her Palace Combat Technique, so father only married Second and Third Mother in the end. Besides, we’re from the same bloodline. I know mother has taught you as well, so I understand.”

Chu Feng was petrified in the distance and lightning immediately struck him to the point he flipped over.

Ouyang Feng was also speechless. He deeply sympathized with Chu Feng. Such an upbringing and such an inheritance between mother and daughter could even be said to be the source of their family education. Chu Feng would be subjected to it in the future!

Ouyang Feng deeply sympathized with him as he said, “I think you’ll be very miserable in the future. Also, I think it’s evident that this little girl purposely said this for you to hear. For the moment, I haven’t gotten my head around what she means, so it is only my regret that I don’t know Palace Combating Techniques!”

“Ah... Don’t hit me anymore. Elder Sister, it really hurts!”

Ying Xiaoxiao’s Elder Sister ferociously sorted her out.

“What are you thinking about at such a young age? If you dare to run your mouth more than this, I’ll seal you up right away!” Ying Zhexian warned.

“What about it? I’m getting beaten even when I’m telling the truth as it is. This is wrong!” After that, Ying Xiaoxiao saw Ying Zhexian glaring at her again, so she immediately changed her tune and said, “In reality, it’s not that difficult to resolve this matter. Wouldn’t it do if we ask my Elder Brother-in-Law himself exactly who is it he fancies? A quick sword cuts through tangled hemp! There’s no need to injure the feelings between you two close friends. Let’s hand it to the Great Demon Chu to settle it!”

Chu Feng cursed, and at this moment, he had the urge to throttle her to death. He initially had a headache, but they kicked the ball to him now and even wanted him to make a definite choice. This... was he courting death? He’d rather court death!

Ying Zhexian’s face darkened slightly as she warned the silver-haired little lolita once more that she wasn’t allowed to call Chu Feng Elder Brother-in-Law!

After that, she didn’t make a peep. This implied that she didn’t object to letting Chu Feng stand out and say something?

At the same time, Qin Luoyin had a faint smile on her face as well but didn’t say anything. She shot Chu Feng a glance whether it was intentionally or otherwise.

In a split second, it was as though Chu Feng was sitting on pins and needles.

These two women didn’t necessarily have feelings for him, but it was reckoned that they wanted to see what his choice was going to be?

In reality, he had basically endured his heaven tribulation and he could block the final remaining heavenly lightning completely with his indigenious technique if he focused his mind just a little bit.

But at this final moment in time, he was being flipped over!

Zzt, zzt, zzt!

Bolt after bolt of blood light descended upon him and submerged him. It startled Chu Feng to the point where the fine hairs on his body stood on their ends. He had no choice but to activate his wonderful technique with all his might to withstand the heaven tribulation at all costs as if his life depended on it.

He faced danger after danger, and he almost turned into dust having been struck by lightning!

Thankfully, the heaven tribulation came to an end.

But he laid down on his stomach on the ground and didn’t want to get up. He had a nagging feeling that if he were to declare his position, it would really be even more terrifying than facing the heaven tribulation.

That was because he would “tip the boat over” if he wasn’t careful!

At the same time, Ouyang Feng was shouting, “This grandfather is about to endure this without a physical body! Divine King Ouyang is a being who is beloved by the heavens! I can also firmly resist this with my spirit body too!”

Bang!

A dark green ball of light enveloped him and completely submerged him within it.

This forest violently shook, causing rocks to crumble and fly. Rivers dried up, and the bare region in the middle was expanded until the lightning finally struck the ground to the point where the lava beneath it flowed out. A volcano erupted over here and the sight was truly terrifying.

Everything finally calmed down. Ouyang Feng had also resolutely endured the heaven tribulation. Just like Chu Feng, he was only a soul light yet he had such a magnificent feat.

“It’s over?” Ouyang Feng looked at his own soul light.

Chu Feng and him were a size smaller than they were before. The lightning had struck away part of their spiritual energy and divinity substance, but the remaining portion was even more condensed and extremely pure. They had an abundance of Yang qi too.

“Elder Brother-in-Law, come and say something!” shouted Ying Xiaoxiao from where she was.

“My head hurts from being struck by lightning. I can’t move. I need to cultivate for a moment.” Chu Feng feigned a weak appearance. After that, he quietly glanced at his son. Why was he silent for such a long time and didn’t dig a pit for him anymore?

In that single glance, he was immediately taken aback because that child was currently staring straight at him without blinking and had a suspicious look on his face.

“What’s going on?” Chu Feng felt that something was amiss.

“Father, why do you look increasingly familiar the more I look at you? We must have met each other somewhere before!” The Little Daoist walked over immediately and circled around Chu Feng.

Chu feng stared at his son and was pondering too as he looked at this boy with delicate features. Although he was still in a soul state, he certainly resembled him a little. At the same time, he looked a little like Qin Luoyin too. He felt that there was no doubt this was his bloodline.

But Chu Feng also thought that this boy seemed a little familiar; this was exposed through the personality attributes of his soul light. He held his suspicions that he had really seen him before somewhere!

After that, he realized this damned child wasn’t that old. His soul body was actually dressed as a Daoist with part of his soul light forming a Daoist robe. He looked like a little Daoist.

In the next moment, Chu Feng’s mind shook and he was alert as he felt that... he had really seen this Little Daoist before!

In a split second, an old affair came to mind. There was once a young Daoist holding a black talisman paper at the end of the Reincarnation Road. He was dressed like this and had the same exact personality as well!

Chu Feng clearly remembered that he didn’t restrain himself from dealing a shady move on that young Daoist at that time. He mounted a sneak attack on the young Daoist and snatched away his black talisman paper.

In the end, that young Daoist was startled and immediately fled into the Reincarnation Cave!

Chu Feng was dumbstruck. Was there really such thing as being reincarnated? That young Daoist finally reincarnated into his family and became his son? This... did he come looking for him to get his black talisman paper back or was he here to seek revenge against him?!

The Little Daoist kept on circling around Chu Feng and felt that he was increasingly familiar the more he looked at him. Finally, he couldn’t take it any longer so he asked Ying Zhexian and Qin Luoyin who had a bracelet they could lend him.

“Come. Uncle has a spatial bracelet here. I’ll lend it to you.” Ouyang Feng handed a silver-white spatial bracelet over to the Little Daoist because this being had extremely sharp divine senses and felt that there was something going on over here, so he accommodated the other party energetically.

After that, the Little Daoist latched the silver-white bracelet around Chu Feng’s wrist and said, “Father, don’t pretend to be depressed. Sit up in a cross-legged position for me to see.”

He invited Ouyang Feng to come over to help him. The both of them helped Chu Feng up so he could sit cross-legged where he was.

Chu Feng understood that this damned child, this bad Daoist, nearly recognized him too by guessing because the posture he made him assume was the cross-legged posture Chu Feng initially assumed in the Reincarnation Cave while wearing the Diamond Chakram.

“You’re actually the Innumerable Deity?!” the Little Daoist shouted. After that, he lifted Chu Feng by the collar of his soul armor.

At this moment, Ouyang Feng started singing insincerely, “There is reincarnation in the heavenly law. Who does the firmament pardon?”

“Innumerable Deity! Motherf*cker! You actually became my father?!”
