Chapter 123: Earthshaking Revelation

Lu Tong, the old man, was incredibly anxious. "Where are you? What's your situation?" Two quasi-beast kings had gone after him; how could Chu Feng possibly survive? It was a certain death sentence!

Outside, chaos had erupted. The news had leaked, with everyone claiming Chu Feng was dead, torn apart from a passenger plane by an exotic creature outside Shuntian City. Huang Xiaoxian, in particular, had even been wheeled out, making a public appearance. His flippant attitude practically declared that Chu Feng's death was connected to him.

Now, the outside world was in an uproar! Public sentiment was outraged; many people were furious, unable to bear it. That morning, people had been praising Chu Feng's heroic feat of slaying the Gray Wolf King, and now, by noon, they were hearing terrible news.

Near the silver mine.

Chu Feng briefly checked the call logs on his communicator, noting numerous missed calls from his parents, relatives, and friends. "I'm fine, near the silver mine. Send someone to pick me up as soon as possible."

"It's arranged. Just wait patiently!" Lu Tong said, unable to hold back his question: "What about those two quasi-beast kings?"

"I killed one, and the other escaped!" Chu Feng replied, his body covered in blood, clearly not lightly injured. This had been the greatest crisis he had ever faced.

"What?! You killed one?!" Lu Tong exclaimed in shock. He had considered all sorts of possibilities, but never that Chu Feng could kill a quasi-beast king. These weren't crippled creatures like the Gray Wolf; they were two fully powerful quasi-beast kings. Who under the king-level could possibly contend with them?!

"Just wait for the news. I'll be sending out some updates!" Chu Feng said coldly. Since the situation had escalated, there was nothing left to hide. He intended to publicly humiliate those exotic creatures.

"Mom, please don't cry. I'm fine!" Chu Feng contacted his parents, instantly hearing Wang Jing's sobs. She was beside herself with worry, as the entire internet was abuzz with news of Chu Feng's supposed death.

The day's events had a massive impact; everyone was following closely, and many were indignant, even clamoring for war against the exotic creatures. The human expert who had killed the Gray Wolf King, a figure who had achieved such great merit, was now said to be dead, and to add insult to injury, he was being disdained by Huang Xiaoxian and other exotic creatures. Many people were trembling with rage.

When Kong Sheng spoke with Huang Yun, his smile froze. For the first time, his gaze turned intensely cold. It wasn't good news; it was a disaster! Kong Lin was dead, beheaded by Chu Feng's sword, and even Huang Yun was severely wounded.

"There's a silver mine there, it's too bizarre! It actually evolved metal life forms—definitely king-level creatures!" Huang Yun panted, having barely escaped with his life. He had lost a leg at the silver mine, where Chu Feng had used his speed to suppress him, nearly killing him in that very area.

In the room, Huang Xiaoxian's face was ashen. He wanted to stand up and scream from the rooftop. How was this possible?! Just a human youth, and he had caused one quasi-king to die and another to be wounded?!

"There's new news online! That Chu Feng has appeared!" Miao Fei announced.

Chu Feng logged into his personal public platform, which he rarely used. But today, he made a very high-profile post, sharing an image with accompanying text. It was a selfie. He was covered in blood but looked energetic, and beside him was a massive head, emitting five-colored light. It was a peacock's head, and even through the screen, its power could be felt, emanating a terrifying aura. It was grotesque and blood-soaked! Below the photo, Chu Feng had added a line of text: "Hunting in the suburbs, stumbled upon it and killed it!"

"Oh my God!" The internet erupted. Upon seeing this post, everyone confirmed he was safe and sound. The fact that he was covered in blood and had killed such a peacock was evidence enough. Experts quickly analyzed the image and tentatively identified the peacock's head as belonging to no ordinary creature—it was a quasi-beast king. Currently, the only such individual associated with Kong Sheng was Kong Lin.

Boom! This time, the internet truly exploded. Chu Feng had slain a quasi-beast king? It was absolutely astounding!

"Boss, you are too magnificent!" Ouyang Qing howled, immediately leaving a comment below to express his excitement and joy.

"Chu Feng, it's great that you're alright!" Ye Qingrou also commented. They hadn't been able to reach him earlier, and now they were completely relieved.

"Boss, I was almost in tears earlier, thinking they had really killed you! I never imagined you were out 'hunting' instead! Haha, well done!" Du Huaijin roared with laughter.

The image and Chu Feng's accompanying text were a perfect combination. "Hunting in the suburbs, stumbled upon it and killed it!" People enthusiastically discussed and frantically reposted it. The image instantly went viral, and that single line of text brought immense satisfaction to countless individuals.

When Kong Sheng saw it, purple light erupted around him, revealing a powerful killing intent. His eyes shot out two terrifying beams of light, and his demonic yet handsome face was contorted with icy fury. The few people in the room dared not utter a sound; they all knew he was seething with rage. A powerful member of the Peacock race had been killed and then publicly displayed.

"He truly deserves to die! He's too arrogant!" Huang Xiaoxian hissed resentfully.

"Haha, what a relief!" The old man Lu Tong burst into hearty laughter upon seeing the post, all his earlier gloom vanishing instantly.

Soon, Chu Feng's second post appeared. It featured a weasel's tail, but it was enormous, several meters long, fluffy, and gleaming golden. Chu Feng stood near the massive tail, still a selfie, covered in blood, posing with it. Below, there was another line of text: "Foul odor evasion is indeed unstoppable; I let it escape." The text was simple but clearly explained the situation.

This once again caused a massive stir. Someone immediately guessed it was the quasi-beast king of the Weasel lineage! Subsequently, experts confirmed it, identifying it as Huang Yun's tail. Currently, Huang Yun was the only quasi-beast king level expert from the Weasel lineage known to be in Shuntian.

"My God, is this true? Another quasi-beast king, and its tail was even severed, only escaping by using its foul odor!" Everyone knew that the foul odor released by the Weasel lineage was "unsolvable" and unbearable. It was unexpected that Chu Feng had encountered a quasi-beast king's "stink attack." This post, while sensational, also had a touch of humor, causing many to burst into laughter.

With just these two posts, people's pent-up anger vanished, replaced by immense satisfaction. It was truly exhilarating.

"Ah..." Huang Xiaoxian screamed, unable to bear such humiliation. Their lineage's quasi-beast king had suffered so terribly, even having its tail severed by Chu Feng.

"Force him out for me! I will kill him with my own hands!" Kong Sheng's demonic yet handsome face was utterly devoid of warmth, suffused with murderous intent. A truly terrifying power emanated from his body.

After posting these two updates, Chu Feng had, in essence, informed everyone that he was perfectly fine.

*Rumbling...*

An armed helicopter descended, landing near the silver mine. Many aircraft were already in the vicinity, ready to provide support, and upon receiving Lu Tong's command, they immediately converged on the location. Chu Feng boarded the aircraft, heading towards Jinmen. Shuntian had become a hub of conflict, with exotic creatures lurking. If he were to depart from there again, he might face another ambush. Lu Tong fully agreed, believing that departing from Jinmen was the correct choice.

At that moment, the old man was constantly contacting people, arranging for Jinmen to be ready. As soon as Chu Feng arrived, a plane would immediately be dispatched to escort him to the Sacred Mountain for Imperial Sacrifices. Chu Feng arrived safely in Jinmen, then took off from there, soaring away directly south towards his destination!

He was gone, but behind him, chaos continued; the commotion he caused was immense. After his two posts were released, they sent shockwaves everywhere, spreading online and sweeping across major powers. Everyone speculated on how he had managed it. After all, he wasn't a king-level expert yet, so he must have employed other methods.

Huang Yun had returned, missing a leg and his tail, which left him utterly humiliated and enraged. He wished he could slaughter the entire city and unleash a massacre. But it dared not; this was Shuntian. If the situation escalated here, even the venerable ancestor of the Weasel lineage wouldn't be able to bear the consequences.

"This despicable human, he lured us to a terrifying silver mine..." Huang Yun vented privately, roaring in fury. When the news spread, no one sympathized with him; instead, everyone applauded, feeling that Chu Feng's decisive, cunning, and brave actions were exactly how one should deal with two quasi-beast kings.

Huang Yun and Huang Xiaoxian were both on the verge of exploding with rage! Kong Sheng's face was clouded with gloom. He had used every available resource to try and prevent Chu Feng's departure, but all his efforts had failed.

Not long after, Huang Xiaoxian looked dejected, and even Huang Yun was in low spirits. Their lineage's venerable ancestor had directly contacted them and given them a thorough scolding. "The ancestor despises us, saying we're too disgraceful." Huang Xiaoxian was somewhat terrified; he knew the ancestor's temperament, and this indicated extreme rage. However, the beast king's anger was understandable, as their lineage had become a laughing stock after these two battles. A quasi-beast king's tail had been severed and then publicly displayed—could it be anything but a sensation?

"Does Senior Huang have any instructions?" Kong Sheng asked.

Huang Xiaoxian replied, "The ancestor is furious and will dispatch another quasi-beast king, saying Chu Feng must be killed to wash away this disgrace!"

"Our clan will also send two seniors," Kong Sheng said icily. After the news spread, the Peacock clan was practically on the verge of exploding. This clan comprised experts who were all exceedingly proud. Led by the Peacock King, a proclaimed invincible powerhouse who had swept across the land without a single defeat to this day! How could such a proud clan tolerate Kong Lin's beheading? They swore to kill Chu Feng and use his blood to commemorate Kong Lin.

Huang Xiaoxian's eyes glinted. "We're not short on experts now; we can certainly crush him. But what if he doesn't show himself? Should we threaten his parents?"

"Let's observe for now. Don't act rashly!" Kong Sheng shot him a cold glance. Because it involves too much. Daring to trespass on the Jade Void Palace's sacred ground could simultaneously enrage three peerless experts residing in the Eight Views Palace, the Jade Void Palace, and the Blue Wave Palace.

On the evening of the second day, Chu Feng's plane approached and landed near the Sacred Mountain for Imperial Sacrifices. No mountain is greater than it, no history more ancient! In the pre-Qin era, ancient emperors offered sacrifices to heaven here, and wise kings from all regions gathered at this spot. Later, when Qin Shi Huang unified the realm, he chose this very place for his imperial sacrifices. From then on, successive dynasties, including Emperor Wu of Han, invariably came here to offer sacrifices to heaven and earth.

"After the world underwent its changes, this should be the most suitable place for humanity to rise," Chu Feng said as he disembarked from the plane, gazing at the magnificent mountain!

Another chapter! Soon, after midnight, it will be released, with at least two chapters. I hope all my brothers and sisters will subscribe and support it then. If you have monthly votes, please cast them for 'Holy Ruins'.

I'll continue burying myself in writing!
