1073 Forced Back (1/2)
Chapter 1073 - Forced Back
”Furthermore, we found an aura of Wind Lightning where the Thirteenth Prince was killed!” The green-robed elder revealed a deadly smile.
Even Mystic Light Realm Sacred Lords weren't able to easily sense such a faint aura of Wind Lightning. Only Sacred Kings, who had total control over the laws of Heaven and Earth, could sense it. It was obvious that Sacred King Feather Spirit was the one that had found this.
The Sacred Emperor had put her sights on Zhao Feng straight from the beginning. Firstly, the Ninth Prince didn't have the ability to do so back then even if he wanted to. Secondly, although Zhao Yufei was unwilling to marry the Thirteenth Prince, she wouldn't have killed the Thirteenth Prince and forced the Duanmu Family into such a risky situation. Thirdly, Nan Gongsheng and Demigod Kun Yun had never even seen the Thirteenth Prince before; even if they were the ones that actually killed the Thirteenth Prince, Zhao Feng would have been the mastermind.
Apart from these people, there were no other experts nearby that could've threatened the Thirteenth Prince's group.
”Aura of Wind Lightning? What can that explain?” Zhao Feng acted calm and asked with a faint smile, but in reality, his heart dropped. Back then, he only just broke through to the Mystic Light Realm, so he didn't have total control over his power and left behind a trace.
From the looks of it, Sacred King Feather Spirit wasn't a normal Sacred King either. He was actually able to sense such a faint wisp of Wind Lightning despite how much time had passed.
”What can that explain…?” The green-robed elder paused for a moment. He didn't think that Zhao Feng would be so calm at this moment and have a smile on his face.
”The aura of Wind Lightning means that the assassin used the laws of Wind Lightning. You have the substandard God item – the Misty Spatial World! You could've easily assassinated the Thirteenth Prince by using its spatial abilities. Apparently, you also have rare treasures like the Spiritual Flesh Jade Lotus Root. It's not impossible for you to have created a fake body out of that to trick Sacred Lord Gonghuang. All in all, the only person that could've even attempted the assassination is you!” the elder in green robes roared in anger.
”Haha, you really know how to think!” Zhao Feng laughed but didn't admit to the crimes.
”Zhao Feng, admit your crimes!” Sacred King Feather Spirit finally spoke. They were here to question Zhao Feng, but the latter acted as if he didn't even care and was extremely cocky.
An invisible pressure started to surge toward Zhao Feng.
”I didn't kill him!” Zhao Feng immediately declined.
”That doesn't mean you aren't suspicious!” Sacred King Feather Spirit's eyebrows furrowed.
In reality, it wasn't a big deal for a prince of the Great Gan Lord Dynasty to die. In the past, the first prince, second prince, and a few others died from accidents. At the very most, they sent a few normal Mystic Light Realms to find out what had happened. If there was no result, then nothing happened.
However, this time, the Sacred Emperor and Empress had personally asked him to find out the truth. The elder in green robes next to him also helped him back then. Otherwise, Sacred King Feather Spirit would've been far too lazy to care, but now that he decided to take action, Sacred King Feather Spirit would definitely find out the truth.
What he cared about right now was the Divine Power on the front lines. He didn't want to spend too much time with Zhao Feng. Besides, the opposition was just the Grand Elder of a measly three-star power, and he was only an initial-stage Mystic Light Realm Sacred Lord.
”Sacred King Feather Spirit, what do you want to do then?” Zhao Feng looked at Sacred King Feather Spirit and asked.
Zhao Feng had to be careful when facing Sacred King Feather Spirit. After all, he was part of the upper echelon member of the Grand Imperial Hall. If it was a Sacred King of another force, Zhao Feng wouldn't need to be scared of them.
One had to know that, with Zhao Feng's current duplication ability, he could duplicate substandard God Slaying Arrows, so he had the ability to fight against a Sacred King with all his hidden cards.
”I'll search your soul. Everything will be known then!” Sacred King Feather Spirit gazed down at Zhao Feng.
The elder in green robes next to him revealed a gruesome smile. From his point of view, Zhao Feng was definitely the culprit. Once they proved that the assassin was Zhao Feng, the green-robed elder and the Sacred Empress were confident that they could kill Zhao Feng and then cause a problem for the Ninth Prince. Although the Thirteenth Prince had died, he and the Sacred Empress would definitely take revenge. They didn't want to see the Ninth Prince become the Sacred Emperor.
”Sacred King Feather Spirit, don't get too cocky!” Zhao Feng's expression froze, and his respectful tone completely vanished.
Sacred King Feather Spirit saying such a thing meant that he didn't put Zhao Feng in his eyes at all. Searching one's soul could damage it as well as the memories. Furthermore, he had many secrets, and any one of them could cause Sacred King Feather Spirit to become greedy.
”I'm already being very respectful to you!” Sacred King Feather Spirit's expression became grim. Zhao Feng's words made him extremely unhappy. If it wasn't for the fact that the Hall of Gods was a big force and Zhao Feng's potential was also very high, Sacred King Feather Spirit would have used force right from the start to search Zhao Feng's soul.
”Please leave!” Zhao Feng immediately said goodbye.
Now that the Divine Power blocking the area was gone, the strongest battle-power the imperials could send out were Sacred Kings. Demigods wouldn't care about the death of a prince regardless of the circumstances.
Furthermore, this was the Hall of Gods. If Zhao Feng dared to offend even Nine Darkness Palace, would he be scared of a single Sacred King? As long as Zhao Feng didn't severely injure or kill Sacred King Feather Spirit, the Demigods of the Grand Imperial Hall wouldn't do anything to Zhao Feng.
”Hmph, if you want to do it the hard way, then so be it!” Sacred King Feather Spirit was enraged. Based on Zhao Feng's actions, he was definitely the person that killed the Thirteenth Prince.
Besides, Sacred King Feather Spirit was extremely interested in the treasures that Zhao Feng had, such as the Misty Spatial World and the various materials from the Divine Illusion Dimension. Rumors said that Zhao Feng even had a God Slaying Arrow.
The elder in green robes was overjoyed. He didn't know where Zhao Feng got the courage to act against Sacred King Feather Spirit, but Zhao Feng was definitely dead now.
”How dare you!?”
Zhao Feng's left eye shone with countless crystalline white light, and a surge of Destructive soul power arose. Zhao Feng's God's Spiritual Eye sensed that Sacred King Feather Spirit was about to attack, so he took action first.
