Chapter 525 - The True Culprit is Here!
King of Gods
At this point in time, there were enemies all around Zhao Feng, and none of them were weak.
Above him was the Mystic Ice Queen, who was flanked by the Three Eyed Saint and Goddess Bing Wei on her left and right.
In front of him was the Grand Elder of the Heavenly Yuan Clan, Dao Sovereign Baiyun.
Behind him was Yu Tianhao, who was waiting to battle.
Any one of these people could cause chaos in the Cloud area. Dao Sovereign Baiyun and the Mystic Ice Queen both stood at the peak of the continent.
âZhao Feng, Zhao Feng... what kind of people did you offend?â
Patriarch Hong and Tiemo were sweating for Zhao Feng and there was worry in their eyes.
The unexpected appearances of all of these people at the same time dazed Zhao Feng momentarily.
âZhao Feng, is my fatherâs death related to you in any way...?â
The Three Eyed Saintâs question was extremely sudden, and it contained hatred and killing intent. His third eye seemed to burn as it glowed with a golden light.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
Zhao Feng couldnât help but be surprised. From the Three Eyed Saintâs tone, it seemed as if he already something that made him suspicious, otherwise he wouldnât come to question Zhao Feng straight away like this.
âThree Eyed Saint, donât randomly accuse people without any evidence.â
Jiang Sanfeng shouted.
Tiemo smiled, âThree Eyed Saint, the Canopy Great Country hasnât even received news of your fatherâs death yet. How would it be related to Zhao Feng?â
Hearing this, many people in the Iron Blood Religion agreed.
Most of them were puzzled. The Golden Sun family was based in the Middle Continent, and the Head of the Golden Sun family was an expert of the older generation whereas Zhao Feng was a junior not even twenty years old.
The two shouldnât have any enmity to speak of.
âEvidence? Many people saw my father and First Elder follow Zhao Feng. After that, my father and First Elder never returned.â
The Three Eyed Saintâs third eye locked on to Zhao Feng.
âThree Eyed Saint, how do you know your fatherâs dead?â
Patriarch Hong questioned.
Everyoneâs eyes lit up. This was a critical question.
âIn that period of time, my eye-bloodline became uneasy. According to the records of the Golden Sun family, only someone whose bloodline is connected to someone else with a Sacred Eye bloodline who has suffered misfortune would have this feeling.â
The Three Eyed Saintâs tone became sad and the crowd turned quiet.
Dao Sovereign Baiyun, Patriarch Hong, and company were all extremely knowledgeable and could sense the Three Eyed Saintâs bloodline sensations.
Being the former strongest eye-bloodline family, the Golden Sun familyâs bloodline was extremely famous, and this âfeelingâ had appeared more than once or twice before.
Zhao Feng didnât doubt the Three Eyed Saint. His Godâs Spiritual Eye had its own abilities and it was extremely sensitive to danger.
Furthermore, the Head of the Golden Sun family and the Three Eyed Saintâs Sacred Eye bloodlines were directly related.
âBack then, I was injured by Zhao Feng and couldnât delve further into that sensation. But a month after my fatherâs disappearance and searching everywhere, I finally found the last remaining aura of his bloodline in the depths of the forest. Only someone from the Golden Sun family wouldâve been able to sense it.â
The Three Eyed Saint took a deep breath after speaking up to here.
His eyes became bloodshot as he stared at Zhao Feng, as if he was certain that Zhao Feng was the culprit.
Everyone looked at each other in disbelief.
âFirstly, Zhao Feng wasnât present and he left without his companions.â
Goddess Bing Weiâs eyes scanned coldly over Jiang Sanfeng and Die Ye, and their hearts jumped.
Indeed, Zhao Feng left the city very suspiciously.
âSecondly, there are witnesses that saw the Head of the Golden Sun family follow Zhao Feng.â
Goddess Bing Wei raised her hand.
Shua! Shua!
Three figures jumped out from a corner. There were two males and a female. One of them had reached the True Mystic Rank and the other two were at the True Human Rank.
âThatâs right, we saw the Head of the family and a grass-hat-wearing elder follow Zhao Feng.â
The three confirmed.
Instantly, Zhao Feng received suspicious gazes.
All these signs and evidence indicated that the death of the Golden Sun family Head was connected to Zhao Feng.
âZhao Feng, if youâre innocent, why did you leave so suspiciously? What did you do alone? What happened after those two followed you?â
Goddess Bing Wei pressed onwards.
Zhao Feng remained expressionless and silent.
âDao Sovereign Baiyun, you can be our witness. This Zhao Feng is too suspicious. If the Iron Blood Religion doesnât give a satisfactory answer, we can capture and question him together.â
The Mystic Ice Queen smiled toward Dao Sovereign Baiyun.
Patriarch Hong and Tiemo cursed in their hearts. The Mystic Ice Queen was too cunning. A single Sovereign might not be able to threaten Zhao Feng, but she asked Dao Sovereign Baiyun for help.
Once they teamed up, even Patriarch Hong wouldnât be able to save Zhao Feng.
âPatriarch Hong, the Golden Sun family Headâs death and the whereabouts of my disciple are too suspicious. I think you should explain everything to us.â
Dao Sovereign Baiyun didnât immediately choose sides, glancing at Patriarch Hong instead.
Zhao Fengâs heart shook. Dao Sovereign Baiyun wasnât nice either. Although he didnât immediately team up with the Mystic Ice Queen, he was using the momentum to pressure the Iron Blood Religion.
At this point in time, Patriarch Hong and Tiemo indeed felt pressured by the two Sovereigns.
The Iron Blood Religion had just risen and it was facing danger already.
One had to know that the Mystic Ice Palace and Heavenly Yuan Clan were both members of the Ten Great Forces.
âZhao Feng, I believe you arenât the culprit and this isnât related to you. If theyâre bent on troubling us, the members of the Iron Blood Religion will not bow their heads to anyone.â
Patriarch Hongâs gaze turned toward Zhao Feng.
It was obvious that, in addition to the two Sovereigns wanting an explanation, Patriarch Hong wanted to know the answer as well.
âThatâs right, we believe Deputy Patriarch Zhao isnât the culprit.â
Everyone in the Iron Blood Religion was supportive. Everyone believed their Deputy Patriarch.
These voices made Zhao Feng feel warm.
However, he smiled instead, âHow do you all know that Iâm not the culprit?â
Hearing this, everyone went silent.
Patriarch Hong, Tiemo, Jiang Sanfeng, and company all paused.
Zhao Feng didnât deny it.
âYou donât need to protect me. The Golden Sun family Headâs death... is indeed related to me.â
Zhao Feng laughed.
He admitted it!
Everyone stared with open mouths. The Mystic Ice Queen, the Three Eyed Saint, and Goddess Bing Wei were all dazed.
They had pushed onward so they could disrupt Zhao Fengâs heart and find more flaws in order to find the truth.
But Zhao Feng just admitted it.
âZhao Feng, you...â
Tiemo panicked. Was Zhao Feng scared of the Iron Blood Religion being troubled?
âWhatâs going on?â
Patriarch Hong suddenly couldnât see through Zhao Feng.
âZhao Feng, how did my father die!? Who helped you!?â
The Three Eyed Saintâs eyes were blood-red as he roared.
At this moment in time, everyoneâs gazes landed on Zhao Feng.
âHelped?â
Zhao Feng snickered, âI am more than enough for those two. Why would I need helpers?â
What!?
Everyoneâs hearts shook as they looked at Zhao Feng in disbelief.
âImpossible!â
The Mystic Ice Queen shook her head and laughed coldly.
âImpossible! Even normal half-step Origin Core Realm experts arenât my fatherâs match, and First Elder is unparalleled under the Origin Core Realm!â
The Three Eyed Saint shook his head.
All of the experts here knew how strong the Head of the Golden Sun family and the First Elder were.
Even the Three Eyed Saint didnât believe Zhao Feng could defeat those two. They guessed that Zhao Feng might be related to it, but there would definitely be helpers behind him.
âZhao Feng, what reason did you have to kill the Head of the Golden Sun family?â
Patriarch Hong sighed.
Zhao Feng, Zhao Feng. Even if you really were the culprit, you didnât need to admit it. Without evidence, the Mystic Ice Queen canât do much.
âItâs simple. They wanted to kill me but they were killed by me instead. You can only blame them for not being strong enough.â
Zhao Feng replied.
âThis means that... you killed them out of self-defense.â
Tiemo exclaimed.
Self-defense!
The hearts of everyone in the Iron Blood Religion jumped while the Mystic Ice Queen and companyâs expressions changed.
If this was true, then it was acceptable; if he didnât kill them, he would be killed instead.
The Golden Sun family wouldnât have a strong claim since they planned to murder Zhao Feng first.
âZhao Feng, why would my father kill you!?â
The Three Eyed Saint raged.
âHehe, do you even need to think about it?â
Zhao Feng laughed, and everyone understood.
Zhao Feng had defeated the Three Eyed Saint and taken the title of the continentâs strongest eye-bloodline.
This was reality.
The Head of the Golden Sun family had attacked out of jealousy and hatred.
âThatâs right, Zhao Feng is correct. Thereâs no reason for Zhao Feng to kill the Head of the Golden Sun family, but the Golden Sun family would love for Zhao Feng to die!â
Patriarch Hong roared with laughter and caused the air to tremble.
âRidiculous! What evidence do you have?â
The Three Eyed Saint almost spat out a mouthful of blood.
If Zhao Feng had killed them out of self-defense, everything would be acceptable. It would become a problem between Zhao Feng and the Three Eyed Saint, which meant that the Mystic Ice Queen and Dao Sovereign Baiyun couldnât help him take vengeance.
At the very least, Dao Sovereign Baiyun wouldnât stand on their side.
âEvidence? Aye, there are three witnesses. Didnât they see the Head of the Golden Sun family chase after me?â
Zhao Feng mocked and pointed toward the three witnesses.
The color of the witnessesâ faces instantly turned grey. Just a moment ago, they pointed out how the Head of the Golden Sun family and the First Elder pursued after Zhao Feng.
âKekeke, Three Eyed Saint... if you want to take revenge, feel free to come at me.â
