Chapter 517 - The Culprit (1/2)

“Master Ou, as long as you work with us whole-heartedly, you won’t suffer any loss.” Feng Yiyuan raised his eyebrows and spoke arrogantly.

He was not a shallow person and could be considered cunning. If that was not the case, he could not have fooled Peng Huachi and Nian Xinran so easily, causing them to be severely injured during the fight against the spirit beast.

Nonetheless, the one that dealt with Ou Yangming was a sir from his sect in the upper realm.

The sir was a potent figure, whereas Feng Yiyuan was an insignificant little ant as compared to him.

No matter what, Feng Yiyuan must not ruin the sir’s reputation at all. Even if he knew Ou Yangming’s spirit beasts could kill him at any time, he must act like this to suppress the young fellow.

Ou Yangming twitched his mouth. He wanted to hold his belly and laugh out loud, but he became unbothered after having experienced so much lately.

He put down the box and said, “Senior Feng, your words don’t mean anything, so you better discuss with…” He looked up and pointed at the box.

“You!” Feng Yiyuan’s face changed as he was infuriated, but he vaguely had a bad feeling about this.

The fact that Ou Yangming was being so unyielding had really exceeded his expectations. He thought, ‘After being lectured by sir, shouldn’t he be an obedient yes-man?’

Ou Yangming flashed and left quietly. He did not take swift steps but every step he took was somewhat leaving a giant rock on Feng Yiyuan’s heart, so much so that the great ancestor found it hard to catch his breath.

Once Ou Yangming was far away, Feng Yiyuan pondered for a brief moment before he waved his hand to gesture to his servants to leave. Following that, he opened the jade box in the quiet and empty room.

Feng Yiyuan was relieved when he saw that the jade pendant was in one piece.

Perhaps Ou Yangming pressured him so much that he misjudged the situation.

Nevertheless, a faint black smoke suddenly rose from the black jade pendant, then an illusory figure floated in the air.

Feng Yiyuan was stunned, but he was overjoyed after he saw the figure’s face. This was because the figure looked exactly the same as the portrait he wors.h.i.+pped in the secret realm.

“Sir!”

The figure slowly took form and was dazed for a while, but his eyes soon became lively. Afterward, he lowered his head and looked at Feng Yiyuan as though he was deep in thought.

Feng Yiyuan waited quietly for some time. When he recalled Ou Yangming’s strange look before he left, he could not help but ask, “Sir, have you met Ou Yangming?”

The figure finally responded as if he was attracted to what Feng Yiyuan said. He released an incredibly fearsome aura in a flash, and the aura was so menacing that it was stronger than what went against Ou Yangming earlier.

Feng Yiyuan’s knees became jelly, and he involuntarily fell on his knees.

Under such a powerful force, not to mention that Feng Yiyuan already revered and feared the figure, even if a stranger released something similar, he could not have resisted at all.

Ou Yangming could only endure it and made Zhiming the Venerable One change his att.i.tude because of the little red bird.

No other person in the world possessed such a formidable creature.

“Hmph, you thras.h.!.+ Why did you offend that person!” Zhiming the Venerable One reprimanded Feng Yiyuan hatefully with a fierce look.

He had tried to gain an advantage by coming to the lower realm but ended up worse off. Not only did he fail to accomplish anything but most importantly, he seemed to have provoked that being.

When Zhiming the Venerable One thought about the merciless means of the beings from that race, he felt like running into a wall. This was why he was so furious when he saw Feng Yiyuan, who was the culprit, and he almost wanted to pull out the tendons and peel the skin of that great ancestor.

Feng Yiyuan lay prostrate and uttered with fear, “Sir, please calm down, please calm down!”

The figure of Zhiming the Venerable One stared at him, and the frightening aura brewed from the figure’s intense negative emotions was suppressing him so badly that he could almost not breathe.

After some time, the aura in the room slowly went away. Zhiming the Venerable one spoke coldly, “Go and apologize to them! If they’re not satisfied, I’ll descend to the lower realm and turn you into dust!”

Feng Yiyuan quivered. He looked at the Venerable One in disbelief, and he was extremely dazed.

‘Didn’t the Venerable One say he’ll talk to Ou Yangming? Why did his att.i.tude change drastically after their talk?’

The great ancestor felt hopeless after witnessing Ou Yangming’s performance in this realm, but he did not think the young fellow’s cultivation base would be useful in the upper realm. After all, Spirit Grade powerhouses did not mean much in the upper realm. As compared to Venerable Ones that could transfer energy between realms, Ou Yangming was too insignificant.

Despite that, there was indeed a change now, but Feng Yiyuan did not expect Zhiming the Venerable One to change instead of Ou Yangming.

“S-sir, we’ll apologize to them?” Feng Yiyuan asked word by word. At this point, he could sense a bitterness in his mouth.

“Yes, apologize to him and get rid of any negative image. I allow you to pay any price for it, so don’t hesitate to lose the entire Feng family if it’s needed!” Zhiming the Venerable One noted coldly.

Feng Yiyuan’s lips trembled, and he felt hopeless.
