Mother Feng’s speed was extremely fast and she was surrounded by a consuming grievous energy so rich that even Shen Ying retreated a couple of steps. Qian Yue was knocked away by Mother Feng. Her grievous energy melted his dharma clothing and even his undergarments away so that he stood nude.

Suddenly, a golden light flashed on his body and Mother Feng rebounded back. The silhouette of a golden lotus surrounded him and trapped him inside. The grievous energy dissipated. Qian Yue took a deep breath in and looked at Mother Feng with fear in his eyes.

“You… You are…” Zhu Ming looked at Qian Yue in disbelief as if he realised something.

Qian Yue laughed mirthlessly. That face that looked exactly like Father Niu’s changed. His disguise was fading before their very eyes. His face looked entirely different after a couple of seconds.

“It really is you!” Zhu Ming’s eyes widened in shock. “You… How can that be?”

Mother Feng recovered from the impact earlier and charged forward again, unaffected by Qian Yue’s change in features. “Bian Xinchen, I’m going to kill you… kill you…” She was positively insane by now. She kept getting rebounded off by the golden light, but she kept charging toward it anyway. Each time she did, her soul got a little bit weaker and the grievous energy around her body got a little bit ricer, It was almost as if she was going to become entirely made out of grievous energy.

Zhu Ming cast some sort of sorcery to stop her suicidal ways. Then, he looked up at the man in front of him with pure anger in his eyes. “Bian Xinchen! You’re still alive!” It was no wonder that Mother Feng still refused to reincarnate after all this time – her enemy was still alive, and he even became Supreme Divinity Qian Yue!

“I haven’t achieved the Great Dao, of course I would not die!” He glanced warily at Shen Ying before retreating a step. “Mother Feng is the biggest obstacle between me and the Great Dao.”

“Obstacle!” Zhu Ming clenched his fists and shouted, “Bian Xinchen, are you heartless? She was your wife. She was loyal to you and did nothing to let you down! Yet, how did you treat her? In order to achieve the Great Dao, you sucked all of her cultivation and even milked her immortal bones, leaving her to die of resentment! You’ve already caused this much harm to her, what else do you want?”

It was obvious from the man’s expression that he felt not one bit of guilt. He replied calmly, “If you want to achieve the Great Dao, you must make some sacrifices.”

“You…”

“Zhu Ming!” Bian Xinchen’s expression darkened. He scoffed, “Don’t forget. You were the one who told me that I could only become a divinity if I practise the Heartless Dao”

Zhu Ming stiffened, his face draining of colour. Something flashed in his eyes. “I.. I did not think you would… I just-”

“You just did it to steal Mother Feng?” Bian Xinchen asked sarcastically, cutting Zhu Ming off. “You’ve liked her since you were little. When you handed me the formulations for the Heartless Dao, I already guessed your motives. You wanted Mother Feng to lose feelings for me. Now that you’re both ghost immortals, you can say that your wish has been fulfilled.”

“Shut up!” Zhu Ming roared. He looked both guilty and enraged. The sword in his hand was pointed toward the man in front of him. “I did have selfish desires then, but I never thought you would really…” He looked like he could not complete his own sentence. Trembling and through gritted teeth, he said, “Kill your wife for the sake of the Dao!”

The moment he said that, everybody present sucked in a sharp breath.

Shit! Another bastard.

So he was the one who killed Mother Feng. What’s more, they were man and wife?

It was no wonder that Mother Feng would harbour so much grievance over losing her primary soul.
