Yun Weixue turned pale, and glared at Si Wenhan with shock.
Murong Fengjian had deceived her for a long time, but at this moment her intuition told her that he was telling the truth.
Qin'er sighed softly, "I've checked the information at the beginning. According to the intelligence, Yun Gaofei, the former patriarch of the Yun family, failed to break through a bottleneck of martial arts and died ten years ago. But you know, unless he planned to cross the threshold of the Post-celestial Spirit Realm, he wouldn't have suffered Qi Deviation. I already have doubts about the cause of his death. It turned out… "
"Yes, it was me who killed Brother Yun. It was very kind of him to take me in. I grabbed his cultivation base to renew myself when he didn't guard against me, and then created a facade of his failure to cross the bottleneck." Si Wenhan took a deep breath and confessed his guilt for he realized that he was a dying man.
Yun Weixue started to weep uncontrollably, and tears were running down her cheeks. For many years, she had been puzzling why her father, known as the strongest one among the five aristocratic families in the capital city, suffered Qi Deviation at a critical moment of breaking the bottleneck of the Post-celestial Spirit Realm.
"My father sheltered you back that year, why did you..." The girl cried.
"Because I am a devil!" Si Wenhan interrupted Yun Weixue words, and continued with an indifferent tone, "Since I'm a devil cultivator, I have to be heartless, and it is unnecessary to be soft. In order to avenge, I can sell out or turn on anyone."
Yun Weixue trembled with anger. She stretched out two fingers to emit a sword intent which then transformed into a sword light, thrusting at Si Wenhan.
With a clang, Qin'er intercepted the sword light, and stepped in front of Si Wenhan.
"Are you trying to stop me from taking revenge on him?" In a rage, Yun Weixue shouted ferociously.
"Although he deserves to die, he is my father after all. I shouldn't remain indifferent to the suffering of my relatives, should I?" Qin'er said uncompromisingly.
When the two girls were about to strike, Si Wenhan began to cough violently, and even his speech and breathing became labored. Then he said weakly, "Brother Yun didn't know that I cultivated the devil kung fu. If he did, he would not have died in this way."
"If Yun Gaofei didn't die, I wouldn't have given the killing order to eliminate the Yun family. It was all your fault, Old Ghost. You brought it on yourself." interjected Murong Fengjian.
"You guys mustn't be cheated by this old rascal's appearance, and don't regard him as a man of integrity. He is a canting hypocrite. The devil kung fu we practiced is very special. Every time we are going to promote to a higher level, we need a hundred human lives to nourish it. There were four realms in the Post-celestial Spirit Realm: Yellow Spirit Realm, Occult Spirit Realm, Earth Spirit Realm and Sky Spirit Realm, and each realm contains three levels, so there are twelve levels in total which cost one thousand and two hundred human lives. You guess how this old ghost reached the Sky Spirit Realm? Of course, he made it by taking others' life in the secret tunnel of the kingdom of Dubhe. "
Everyone present was appalled except for Xiao Naihe and Qin'er. One thousand and two hundred human lives, it was terrifying number. These people who were killed were likely to be civilians, prisoners, martial artists, or devil cultivators. What a horrible thing to do!
"Although I have experienced countless bloody wars all the year round, and slew a myriad of people, I will never harm people in my country. I did not expect you two committed such atrocious cruelties and joined the devil circle. Now I know it, do I have a reason to continue working for Murong national master in the future? "
Feng Qianlong was reluctant to work for Murong Fengjian, but he had been intimidated by the pressure of the national master, so he was in a dilemma.
"Why is it so lively here? Did we miss anything? "
A sarcastic voice came to Feng Qianlong's ears. He looked up and saw a few people standing not far away. Tian Xuexi, the crown prince, was one of them. But to his surprise, the other six men with Tian Xuexi were the foreign envoys.
"Your highness, why…why do come with them?"
