Chapter 820 - Begging For Rice With A Diamond Bowl (1/2)

This aura… Feng Wuji's face turned gloomy as he pondered.

Moments later, one of the Deity Overlord asked, "Mister, why did you stop moving?"

"A terrifying presence stays within the mountain," Feng Wuji's tone turned dark and deep as he said, "I want to meet with him, but I am afraid to see him."

"A terrifying presence?" The Deity Overlords were puzzled.

Feng Wuji's face was dark and gloomy, the hem of his clothes fluttered by itself even when there were no winds, he said, "He is my father, a terrifying presence who I once feared more than anything else. But after all, he is the one who brought me to life, I still respect him a lot. Little did I expect to meet him here and think that Mister Yi is with him. However, I am not the old me now, I am far more powerful than he is now. Looks like it's time for me to get rid of the fear I once had for him."

After a long time, Feng Wuji made his mind and he inhaled deeply. He led the Deity Overlords and strode for the mountain.

Shi Tuo descended from the sky and he stopped the Deity Overlords on their paths. The Deity Overlords turned vigilant in an instant and one of them gave a cold sneer, "A mere demon god's spirit and you dare stand in our way? You should just crawl back into the Void World and live in it. Why do you even descend and seek death?"

Shi Tuo sneered back, he said arrogantly, "A bunch of brats, do you even know what death is? Do you need your father Shi Tuo to teach you, kids?"

The Deity Overlords were infuriated and burst out their auras while Shi Tuo stood without fear. Suddenly, Feng Wuji raised his hand and stopped them, "Be at ease, I am half a master to this place. There is no need to be furious at a lowly gatekeeper. Gatekeeper, listen carefully, I am the son of your master and I demand to see him."

"You are master's son?" Shi Tuo was shocked and he looked at Feng Wuji from top to bottom. He frowned and asked, "My master is a human, what are you? Fine, follow me and I will bring you to him, but your servants will stay here."

Feng Wuji laughed, "They are mine to command, of course I will bring them to let my father have a look at them, to let him know what sort of power his son holds."

Shi Tuo glanced at the Deity Overlords with a weird expression on his face, he shook and said, "Fine, do whatever you want. Follow me."

Feng Wuji raised his head and slightly pushed his chest out with pride. He led the Deity Overlords and arrived before the Spiritual Jade Palace. He laughed, "My father was once a talent that shook the world, one who stood above all. Yet, look at this place, look at this palace, does this even count as a decent rabbit hole?"

A Deity Overlord smiled, "Mister Wuji comes under a great teacher who even master has to treat with respect. Mister Wuji has seen many treasures. Of course this palace wouldn't even be worth a scrap."

"Mister Wuji is a paragon of your clan, your father will be more than glad to know of your achievements."

Feng Wuji laughed, he looked at Shi Tuo and ordered, "Summon my father, let him take a good look of how great I am now, let him share the pride I now have!"

Shi Tuo walked into the palace and found Feng Xiaozhong, he said, "Master, your son is here with some Deity Overlords, he is looking for you, stating that he wants to show you his achievements now and have you share the joy of it."

Feng Xiaozhong and Zhong Yue were studying the innate god's mortal body, completely immersed in the joy of research and their ever-growing attainments.

Feng Xiaozhong heard Shi Tuo and shook immediately, "No."

Zhong Yue raised his head and asked curiously, "Your son? Senior martial brother, how many sons do you have?"

"Only one." Feng Xiaozhong answered.

"Could it be Feng Wuji?" A thought flashed through Zhong Yue's mind as he began to leak out killing intent, "I've searched for him a long time already, and he is finally here!"

Feng Xiaozhong suddenly raised his head and looked at Zhong Yue, "He is my son."

Zhong Yue suppressed his killing will and replied frigidly, "Your son has betrayed the human race, he caused the death of the old man and placed humanity at the edge of annihilation. He despises to be a human and wants to be a dog instead. Despite all of this, you still want to protect him? Senior martial brother, you should kill him instead!"

"But he is still my son." Feng Xiaozhong straightened up his body and shook, "The humanity you care about means nothing to me. No matter what he has done, no matter what stand he takes, he is still my son. Junior martial brother, did my father kill me? If even a righteous man like my father didn't kill me even with the atrocities I've committed, how would I kill my son?"

Zhong Yue frowned, "Then I'll kill him for you?"

"No." Feng Xiaozhong shook again, "You are my junior martial brother, that makes you his junior martial uncle. Thus, you cannot kill him. I've never raised him myself and I have no feelings for him, but I loved his mother more than anything. I have only two weaknesses, killing him leaves me with only one. Aren't you afraid of what will come after?"

A cold chill ran down Zhong Yue's spine as he imagined what a terrifying consequence that would come if Feng Xiaozhong were to lose his sanity. The old headmaster Feng Shang was one of the two weaknesses that Feng Xiaozhong spoke of, it was also because of that old man that Feng Xiaozhong was able to preserve a sliver of humanity.

On the other hand, the Xiao Mang Celestial Race lady he once loved was his second weakness. But when she died, Feng Xiaozhong's love towards his wife was transferred onto Feng Wuji as Feng Wuji was the only thing that reminded him of the Xiao Mang Celestial Race lady.

If these two pillars of his humanity were to both disappear, that would make Feng Xiaozhong a man without weaknesses. By then, Feng Xiaozhong would no longer be classified as a worldly being, but rather, a pure god, one devoid of emotions or feelings, but a divinity who had truly shed all mortal tethers in pursuit of the Dao.

Deep down, Zhong Yue knew that he preferred the Feng Xiaozhong as he was now over the emotionless, pure god.

Suddenly, Zhong Yue smiled, "Well if he is here, why don't you see him?"

Feng Xiaozhong pondered, he said, "Alright."
