Chapter 1308: Abandoning Husband and Child

Fairy Qingyin's beautiful neck, as white and delicate as mutton-fat jade, was covered in goosebumps. She was actually being embraced around the neck, in intimate contact with someone.

The moment she turned her head, her radiant white forehead, distinct and prominent nose, and bright red lips were almost touching Chu Feng's face. A warm, moist breath wafted from her, brushing his face.

Qin Luoyin's pupils constricted, and silver symbols appeared within them. Her slender body tensed, and her dark hair swirled around her. Her entire being exuded killing intent. She transformed from an ethereal, otherworldly being into a formidable one, instantly resembling a demonic immortal from a chaotic age.

However, before she could say anything, Chu Feng, his arm still around her swan-like, snow-white neck, spoke first: "You want to turn hostile, don't you? So heartless. Do you really not want our child? That's your bloodline too, your offspring, not just mine."

Fairy Qingyin's body was snow-white and translucent, her skin radiating divine light. She was about to retaliate, but after hearing these words, her movements visibly paused. Her gaze, like two divine swords, swept over him, making Chu Feng feel a stinging pain.

She naturally sensed that he was doing this on purpose, trying to gain the upper hand by speaking first. The light in her eyes grew even more intimidating.

However, Chu Feng remained unmoved. He tightened his right arm around her neck and pressed his forehead against her fair and luminous one, saying, "We're like an old married couple already, what's all this fuss about?!"

"Let go!" Fairy Qingyin snapped, her killing intent now palpable. This was no mere threat; she was truly about to strike.

Chu Feng sighed. He had no intention of engaging in a lengthy debate or reasoning with her, because everything that needed to be said had been said last time. Today was simply his final question.

If Qin Luoyin's reincarnated self remained unchanged, he would give up completely and say no more.

His eyes gleamed as he said in a deep voice, "I'm asking you one last time: Are you going to abandon everything in the Lesser Netherworld, to completely leave me and our child?!"

Fairy Qingyin's hair swirled around her, shimmering and radiant. Her beautiful eyes, like rainbow rays, shot out terrifying beams of light. Her flawless, exquisite face was etched with coldness, completely unmoved. She remained aloof and resolute, saying, "I'll say it again: Let go!"

"Is this your final decision?" Chu Feng was enraged.

"I said everything I needed to say last time!" Qin Luoyin whispered coldly. Then she suddenly lifted her head, pulling her face away from Chu Feng's, her resolve hardening further.

Chu Feng's face turned ashen, radiating killing intent. He recalled what Qingyin had said last time: she had someone she loved, a figure who was a legend among legends in the prehistoric era, and that it was impossible for her and Chu Feng to be together.

The Qingyin before him was as indifferent and resolute as she had been last time. Her attitude and words clearly indicated that she would not change her mind.

"Sooner or later, I'll kill that person!" Chu Feng said coldly.

Fairy Qingyin calmly said, "You won't have that chance. You should leave, get out of here quickly. I know you have no real connection with the First Mountain."

Clearly, she had already heard about what happened at the First Mountain. Moreover, as the reincarnation of a prehistoric Dream Ancient Path Heavenly Lady, she understood the First Mountain's true nature, allowing her to conclude that Chu Feng was not a disciple of the First Mountain.

In fact, there were also doubts in the outside world, as the words of Number Nine and Number Six had shattered many of Chu Feng's halos.

"In this life, I am no longer Qin Luoyin; I am Qingyin. The Lesser Netherworld was merely a very brief segment of my life. Seas turn into dust, and past events are like smoke. May your journey be smooth... now go!"

Fairy Qingyin began to glow, her body rising off the ground and hovering within the golden tent.

Without a doubt, in this life, she had awakened some divine abilities from the prehistoric era. She would walk an incredibly long path in evolution, seeking transcendence to become an ultimate evolver.

She was already very powerful!

"If that child ever reappears, and if he's in trouble, you can find me. I will save him!" This was her final promise.

Hearing these words, Chu Feng ceased all physical contact, letting go of her directly, and stood in the tent, his demeanor returning to cold indifference, saying, "No need. If I ever find him, I can take good care of him myself, protecting him to live a life free of worries. No one will be able to touch him!"

Fairy Qingyin said, "You should go. If people find out you have no direct connection with the First Mountain, you'll be in great danger and won't be able to leave this battlefield!"

Now, she and Chu Feng were separated by only a foot, yet it felt like they were worlds apart, as if they were incredibly distant from each other.

"My ability to reach this point isn't because of my relationship with anyone. I can rise on my own and break all kinds of myths!" Chu Feng turned and left.

Everything that needed to be said had been said. For the little Daoist priest and for the bonds formed in the Lesser Netherworld, he had made his final effort and did not wish to continue.

Chu Feng walked towards the outside of the tent.

Yu Shang appeared and sighed softly, "It's been very convoluted, but are you just giving up like this?"

"Yes!" Chu Feng nodded, but then paused slightly and added, "Now, she is no longer the person I wanted to see."

Heavenly Venerate Yu Shang sighed faintly. He had no advice to offer regarding such matters, but he stopped Chu Feng, asking him to wait and not leave.

At this moment, Fairy Qingyin walked past him, drifting away.

"You're just going to let her go without trying to hold her back?" Yu Shang spoke again. As someone who had experienced much, he feared Chu Feng would be left with regrets.

Chu Feng shook his head and said, "There's no need now. Ultimately, it's because I'm not powerful enough. When the day comes that I can suppress legends among legends with a mere lift of my hand, what will be irreversible then? If I'm strong enough, I can naturally awaken her in the Lesser Netherworld and make her reappear. Never mind. Let's both go our separate ways. It's better to let go like this; my Dao heart will only grow firmer. From here, I'll ride the winds and waves, like a Kunpeng spreading its wings to tear through the sky!"

Then, a doubtful expression appeared on his face as he asked Heavenly Venerate Yu Shang why he had stopped him.

"I want to give you an artifact." Yu Shang made this decision after long deliberation. It was an idea he had considered before. He didn't have much life left and intended to give that ancient artifact to Cao De.

Chu Feng looked surprised. Seeing his solemn demeanor, he wondered what kind of object it was.

However, he immediately understood the old man's state of mind: he felt his end was near, his life force about to dry up. This was a dying entrustment, asking Chu Feng to take the artifact.

Chu Feng said, "Senior, you'll be fine. I'll find heavenly and earthly wondrous medicines to extend your lifespan!"

He knew that ordinary herbs would be ineffective for Yu Shang; only rare and wondrous treasures would work.

"It's no use. I know my own condition. Perhaps I only have one or two months left before I return to dust." He sighed.

At this moment, he was white-haired, with a face full of wrinkles, and dull, cloudy eyes. Though a Heavenly Venerate, his life had been fraught with hardships. All three of his children had died prematurely, and his only grandson had also passed away.

These descendants had all possessed astonishing talent, for example, breaking into the top three among the Divine Kings of the Yang World. But regrettably, they had all died young.

Although Heavenly Venerate Yu Shang had no evidence, his intuition told him that his daughter, his eldest son, and others had all been murdered. This was the pain of his life; his entire existence had been dark, filled with suffering, and devoid of joy or light.

As a Heavenly Venerate, he actually had no children, no descendants left. Even his few remaining disciples had been dismissed by him, for fear they would meet with misfortune.

However, afterwards, he also heard tragic news: some of his disciples had also died, erased by others.

All this was simply because someone coveted an ancient artifact from Heavenly Venerate Yu Shang's family, wanting to possess it for themselves, while also not wishing to cause a widespread stir.

When Yu Shang spoke with Chu Feng, he always used secret voice transmission. Despite this, he was still somewhat worried, fearing he might harm Chu Feng.

The only thing that slightly reassured him was that the First Mountain had just unleashed its Heaven-piercing sword qi, piercing through several forbidden lands. At this time of global deterrence, even if someone had secretly targeted him, they had likely temporarily withdrawn now.

Heavenly Venerate Yu Shang had a feeling that he felt much lighter; an invisible mountain that had been secretly pressing on him seemed to have been lifted.

When he said all this, Chu Feng was deeply shocked. A terrifying force had been coveting the artifact from Heavenly Venerate Yu Shang's family and constantly monitoring him for years?

At the same time, Chu Feng was puzzled. If that was the case, why didn't they just make a decisive move and abduct Heavenly Venerate Yu Shang?

Yu Shang said, "They dare not, because my ancestors placed an insoluble restriction deep within my soul light. Should anything happen, the clues would vanish from my soul, making the artifact forever untraceable."

Chu Feng was even more alarmed. What kind of object was it that required such an elaborate and sustained effort?

"An artifact that only appears in legends, believed to be impossible to exist. It once suppressed all heavens with a single object. Although it has long been forgotten over many eras, and even in this current epoch, once it emerges, it will still illuminate all heavens and myriad realms!"

As he spoke, Heavenly Venerate Yu Shang's eyes gleamed with astonishing brilliance. All his suffering, all his setbacks, and the darkness of his life seemed to dissipate at this moment. He seemed to have regained a part of his vitality, a glimmer of youthful vigor.

Chu Feng was greatly alarmed. What kind of object was that? No wonder people coveted it. If it was truly that extraordinary, even old monsters who had been slumbering for countless ages would have to awaken and crawl out of their coffins.

"Senior, I cannot accept such an item. You should keep it. I will find great medicines for you, so you can live for another ten thousand years!"

Yu Shang's expression turned bitter. He thought of his eldest son, a genius among geniuses, then his daughter, who had swept aside all Divine Kings, and finally, his only remaining bloodline, his grandson. All had passed away, dying without clear reasons. He believed his life should have ended long ago, with no joy to speak of. This life had been spent in suffering, chewing on sorrow in torment and solitude, sinking into darkness.

"If I don't give it to you, I will truly take the last clues to that artifact into my grave. This item must not be lost. Some say it's more important than half of the Yang World!" Heavenly Venerate Yu Shang sighed.

Ultimately, Chu Feng no longer refused. However, he still wanted to rouse the old man's will to live, believing he shouldn't simply pass away so quietly, in quiet meditation.

"Senior, who exactly is the one who harmed your clan? Don't you want to avenge your children?" Chu Feng asked.

Yu Shang shook his head, his expression filled with gloom and a sense of defeat, saying, "I see no hope. Even if I cultivate for another thousand or ten thousand lifetimes, I wouldn't be their match. I cannot avenge them."

Chu Feng frowned and said, "Who exactly are they? Are they even stronger than the Martial Lunatic?"

"Yes, at the very least, they are not weaker than the Martial Lunatic. This lineage should not be provoked. Even at the peak of my ancestors' glory, they might not have been able to withstand them." Yu Shang sighed, utterly desolate.
