Swish swish swish.
Only to see, Lord Tonghe waved his arm, and a vast martial power surged out from his sleeve.
The martial power transformed, turning into countless flying swords that surrounded Long Busheng and Long Xiao, who were kneeling in the void.
He was not joking; if Chu Feng did not step forward, those flying swords would pierce towards Long Busheng and Long Xiao.
And those martial power flying swords were extremely powerful, enough to take the lives of this grandfather and grandson pair.
Seeing this situation, Chu Feng truly could not stand by idly.
Otherwise, his conscience would be uneasy.
“Master Liangqiu, Senior Long’s injury, I leave it to you.”
After saying this to Master Liangqiu, Chu Feng stood up, flew through the air, and walked towards Lord Tonghe’s direction.
“Chu Feng, what are you doing?”
“Do not be foolish, come back quickly.”
Seeing Chu Feng heading towards the Long clan’s direction, Master Liangqiu and the others, unaware of the truth, all thought Chu Feng was going to seek justice for Long Daozhi.
They all advised Chu Feng.
But who would have thought, Chu Feng not only ignored their dissuasion, but suddenly spoke in a condensed voice.
“One person does the deed, one person takes responsibility; if you want to settle accounts, settle them all on me.”
“The grudge between me and the Nine Paths Dragon Gate has nothing to do with others.”
As soon as Chu Feng said this.
It immediately drew everyone’s attention.
In an instant, all eyes present fell on Chu Feng.
Even the high and mighty members of the Long clan looked towards Chu Feng.
“Could the culprit be him?”
Everyone scrutinized Chu Feng, their eyes filled with surprise and curiosity.
After all, except for the people of the Nine Paths Dragon Gate and Chu Feng, no one else knew what exactly had happened between Chu Feng and the Nine Paths Dragon Gate.
Even Long Daozhi and the others did not know.
“The person I am looking for is not you; are you coming out to be a scapegoat?”
The young master of the Nine Paths Dragon Gate, Long Shangsong, carefully examined Chu Feng and then shook his head.
“Not me? Take a closer look.”
When Chu Feng spoke again, his voice had changed.
Immediately after, Chu Feng’s appearance also changed.
And the changed appearance was exactly the one he had used when teasing the young master of the Nine Paths Dragon Gate that day.
“It really is you.”
“No wonder I could not find you; you had disguised your appearance.”
“You despicable villain, daring to toy with me; today, I must take your life.”
Upon recognizing Chu Feng, the young master of the Nine Paths Dragon Gate immediately gnashed his teeth in anger, and as he spoke, he drew out a half-formed venerable weapon, intending to end Chu Feng directly.
“Hm?”
But just as he was about to act, a cold gaze fell upon the young master of the Nine Paths Dragon Gate.
Feeling this gaze, he immediately shut his mouth, retracted his pressure, and was so scared that he dared not even lift his head.
Because this cold gaze came from Lord Tonghe.
Lord Tonghe, no matter how despicable he was behind the scenes, on the surface, he still had to maintain a positive image.
Since he had said that as long as the culprit dared to show himself, he would not take his life.
Naturally, he had to keep his word.
How could he allow this young master of the Nine Paths Dragon Gate to kill Chu Feng directly?
Slap.
At that moment, a slap suddenly landed, falling on the face of the young master of the Nine Paths Dragon Gate.
This slap was not light; it directly deformed the face of the young master of the Nine Paths Dragon Gate.
But the young master of the Nine Paths Dragon Gate dared not even fart.
It was his father, the master of the Nine Paths Dragon Gate.
“You bastard, where do you get the right to speak here.”
The master of the Nine Paths Dragon Gate roared angrily.
Actually, he was doing it for his son’s good; if he did not discipline him, others would.
After all, that was Lord Tonghe.
“Forget it; Long clan members, do not make things difficult for Long clan members.”
“Have your son take another good look, to see if it really is this person.”
“My Long clan has always been clear in rewards and punishments, and absolutely does not slaughter the innocent.”
Lord Tonghe said.
“Lord Tonghe, it is him without a doubt; even if he turned to ash, I would recognize him.”
Long Shangsong said.
“Even if turned to ash, you would recognize him?”
“Then just now, why did you not find him from the crowd?”
Lord Tonghe asked.
“I…”
“Replying to the lord, this fellow is truly too cunning; otherwise, I would not have been toyed with by him.”
Long Shangsong said.
“Alright, I will seek justice for you.”
As Lord Tonghe spoke, he turned his gaze towards Chu Feng.
“You can be considered bold, and I am a man of my word.”
“Today, I will not take your life.”
“But death penalty can be spared, living punishment is hard to escape.”
“However, I will not make it too difficult for you.”
“Swallow this pill, and then scram.”
As Lord Tonghe spoke, he took out a pill.
But upon seeing that pill, Chu Feng could not help but curse inwardly as a beast.
As a world spiritist, Chu Feng could see that this pill was not simply to torment him.
That pill was extremely terrifying; if Chu Feng swallowed it, he would be tormented for a long time.
Unless there was an antidote, he would be tormented to death alive.
What bullshit death penalty spared?
This was clearly intending to take Chu Feng’s life.
And moreover, in a way that ensured Chu Feng did not die well.
“Lord Tonghe, you are after all a figure of status.”
“To so openly take out a deadly poison pill for me, and say you are sparing my life; doing this, is somewhat improper, is it not?”
Chu Feng said.
“This is indeed a poison pill, but it will not take your life.”
“Bold enough to toy with others, but no courage to take medicine?”
“It seems, this old man overestimated you.”
Lord Tonghe said sarcastically.
“This is clearly a deadly poison pill; among so many world spiritists present, who cannot see it?”
Chu Feng said.
However, upon hearing Chu Feng’s words, Lord Tonghe instead suddenly narrowed his eyes, and only then said, “Oh, then have them say, what kind of pill this exactly is.”
And after Lord Tonghe said this, without waiting for Chu Feng to ask, many voices rose from below.
“This pill is not fatal; this old man guarantees it with his life.”
“Indeed not fatal; just a simple pill to teach someone a lesson.”
“This coward, timid himself, yet dares to slander Lord Tonghe; truly deserves to be executed.”
“Lord, kill him; such a villain cannot be spared.”
But among the voices coming from below, not one spoke in Chu Feng’s favour.
Chu Feng knew they must have seen the potency of this poison pill.
But they dared not defy Lord Tonghe, so even knowing the truth, they dared not speak it.
“Lord Tonghe, he did indeed toy with the young master of the Nine Paths Dragon Gate, that is true.”
“But it was the young master of the Nine Paths Dragon Gate who first snatched our Dragon Vein Yin-Yang Stone.”
“That Dragon Vein Yin-Yang Stone is extremely important to me; it could not be snatched by them like that. With no other choice, this benefactor resorted to this desperate measure.”
“This is not our fault; they are the ones in the wrong.”
“Even if he is now your Long clan member, you should not so indiscriminately shelter him.”
However, just as most people dared not speak the truth, Long Xiao suddenly spoke up.
Immediately after, Long Xiao’s grandfather also spoke, recounting the situation of that day.
This grandfather-granddaughter pair hoped that by recounting the truth, they could draw the attention of those present.
Hoping to turn the situation around.
But they were too naive.
What they did not know was that the truth no longer mattered.
What mattered was that no one present dared to defy Lord Tonghe.
The onlookers present did not care about the truth; they only wanted to flatter Lord Tonghe.
Whatever decision Lord Tonghe made, as long as it did not harm them, they would agree.
Even if it meant a great massacre, slaughtering the innocent, they did not care.
Let alone when someone had truly offended the Long clan?
“Obstinate and unrepentant; even at this point, still quibbling.”
“Deserves severe punishment.”
Sure enough, the words of Long Xiao and her grandfather incurred Lord Tonghe’s displeasure.
As Lord Tonghe’s words fell, the countless martial power long swords surrounding Long Xiao and her grandfather immediately transformed, turning into countless martial power long whips, which then continuously lashed down upon Long Xiao and her grandfather.
