Chu Feng gripped his long sword and pierced straight through Hun Lei’s dantian.
At the same time, he held Hun Lei’s life completely in his hands.
Although Hun Lei was very powerful, the current him was simply no match for Chu Feng.
His little life was pinched tightly in Chu Feng’s palm.
Looking at Hun Lei, whose eyes were already brimming with tears and on the verge of crying, Chu Feng felt a trace of relief in his heart.
That girl Song Yun had tricked him into taking the so-called Tyrant Star Soul Poison.
When the soul poison fused with his soul, it carried a side effect that temporarily sealed part of Chu Feng’s cultivation.
That was why, earlier, when those minor disciples of the Soul Locking Sect bullied him, he could only endure the beating and did not fight back to teach them a lesson.
It was not that he did not want to teach them a lesson, but at that time, both his cultivation and his spirit formation techniques had been suppressed to an extremely low level.
However, just as those small fries were harassing Chu Feng, the Tyrant Star Soul Poison began fusing with his soul, and his cultivation started recovering rapidly.
That was also why Chu Feng had not feared those small fries at the time.
Because Chu Feng knew his cultivation would soon return.
Later, Shengguang Jin’an appeared, preventing the Soul Locking Sect disciples from continuing to trouble him.
Yet Chu Feng’s cultivation recovery had continued all along.
As Chu Feng and the others pressed deeper, his cultivation remained in a state of rapid restoration.
It happened to reach its original level just before he discovered something suspicious between Hun Lei and Hun Yong.
Otherwise, Chu Feng would never have been able to track Hun Lei here, let alone launch a sneak attack on Hun Lei.
Truth be told, although Hun Lei was not especially cautious, he was still an eighth-rank Supreme. His speed was extremely fast.
If his cultivation had recovered even slightly later, Chu Feng might not have been able to follow him here at all.
That was why Chu Feng felt relieved.
What he felt relieved about was that his cultivation had recovered in time. If it had not, failing to track Hun Lei would have been a minor matter. But if Su Rou, Su Mei, and Immortal Moon were truly harmed by this Hun Lei, the regret would have been unbearable.
At this thought, the murderous glint in Chu Feng’s eyes as he looked at Hun Lei grew even stronger.
After all, this was the man who had intended to kill Su Rou and Su Mei.
Thud.
Feeling Chu Feng’s gaze grow ever colder, Hun Lei actually dropped straight to his knees before him.
“Brother, please don’t kill me. I beg you, spare me.
Earlier, some disciples of my sect disrespected you, but that had nothing to do with me. Please let me go. I promise that as long as you spare me, I will help you punish those idiots severely. Killing them myself would be a trivial thing.
If you want to do it personally, I can also help. I can capture them for you and let you deal with them as you wish.
Brother, spare me. I beg you. I have elders above me and children below me.
Besides, those idiots in our sect offended you. That really has nothing to do with me.
Tears and snot mixed on Hun Lei’s face. His expression was utterly abject.
Where was the slightest trace of the supreme genius who had previously stood in the void, looking down upon all living beings with contempt?
Yet seeing Hun Lei in this state, Chu Feng felt not the slightest sympathy, nor any pity.
The man had just said with his own mouth that he could capture his fellow sect members and hand them over for Chu Feng to kill.
Although those were words spoken in pleading, they also revealed his own ruthlessness.
“You were just planning to refine the two girls in there, weren’t you?”
Chu Feng asked Hun Lei.
He did not care about Hun Lei’s character. He only cared about Su Rou and Su Mei.
“Uh…”
Hun Lei’s expression froze. He suddenly realised that Chu Feng did not seem to be here because his fellow disciples had offended him, but because of those two girls.
“Brother, you don’t happen to know those two ladies, do you?”
Hun Lei asked, trembling.
He felt that if Chu Feng was only seeking trouble because of a grudge with the Soul Locking Sect disciples, he might still escape with his life by pleading.
But if Chu Feng was truly close to those two girls, then his life was probably forfeit.
Because he had a bad habit: when he acted alone, he liked to talk to himself.
Even ignoring his actions, some of the things he had muttered earlier were enough to let anyone know he intended harm toward those two girls.
Chu Feng did not answer directly. He glanced at Su Rou and Su Mei within the formation, then spoke.
“They are my wives.”
Wives?!
Bloody hell!!
Those two words struck Hun Lei like a thunderbolt or a heavy hammer smashing down on his head.
He had already sensed he was in deep trouble, but he had never imagined it was this serious.
Wives, the most important women in any man’s life!!!
“Brother, spare me, spare my life!”
Hun Lei’s pleas became even more frantic.
“Brother, I was only following orders. I really was acting under instructions.
I have no grudge against those two ladies at all. I was completely following the orders of the Tyrant Star Villa Master.”
Hun Lei explained desperately. It was clear he was truly terrified.
“Speak,” Chu Feng said.
“Speak about what?”
Hun Lei was momentarily bewildered.
“Tell me the whole truth of what you know, the entire sequence of events.
Do not conceal a single thing. Otherwise, I will make you wish you were dead,”
Chu Feng said.
Hearing this, Hun Lei, already scared half out of his wits, dared not hide anything. He hurriedly told Chu Feng everything he knew.
As it turned out, Immortal Moon was not a thief at all.
By chance, she had come to know the Master of Tyrant Star Villa.
The Villa Master discovered that Immortal Moon possessed a special ability.
That special ability of hers could awaken the true immortal power within the Tyrant Star Immortal Grass.
Therefore, the Villa Master devised a scheme. He wanted to use Immortal Moon’s special ability to awaken the true immortal power of the Tyrant Star Immortal Grass.
The price, however, was Immortal Moon’s life.
So the Villa Master set a trap.
On the surface, he allowed Immortal Moon to enter the immortal cave and consume the Tyrant Star Immortal Grass, supposedly to help her raise her cultivation.
In reality, he intended to use the power of the formation to refine Immortal Moon, allowing the Tyrant Star Immortal Grass to evolve into a true cultivation treasure.
Originally, everything had gone extremely smoothly. Once Immortal Moon swallowed the Tyrant Star Immortal Grass, he could use the ancestral formation to suppress her and refine her to death.
But who could have expected that he underestimated Immortal Moon’s ability.
The Tyrant Star Immortal Grass was one of the sources of power for the formation in this forbidden cultivation ground.
After Immortal Moon consumed it, she unexpectedly gained control over part of the formation’s power.
When she realised something was wrong, she activated that power to resist the Villa Master.
This prevented the Villa Master from using the formation to refine her.
He had no choice but to find someone to enter the forbidden ground and activate another formation eye beneath the mountain range to strengthen the formation.
Thus, the Villa Master first sent juniors from his own villa into the forbidden ground.
They discovered that controlling the power of that formation eye beneath the mountains required an enormous price.
The juniors of Tyrant Star Villa lacked sufficient cultivation. Not only did they fail to control the eye, they were counterattacked by its power.
Seven juniors were sent in. Five died, and two were severely injured.
Although they were not the most important juniors of Tyrant Star Villa, they were still elite-level talents.
With no other choice, the Villa Master turned to Hun Lei and Hun Yong of the Soul Locking Sect for help.
Because they had cooperated before, he still trusted the two of them to some extent.
After all, the three of them were birds of a feather.
