But Feng Tianhu was different. Make Feng Tianhu bow his head? Would that not mean acknowledging Xu Shilan's status, and bowing to Feng Tianqi as well? Then how could he still compete for the position of family head? And would not Feng Nitian have died in vain?
To give it all up—he could not accept it! But now the Dongfang family had plainly drawn back, and he himself was no match for Wei Zhao. There was nothing Feng Tianhu could do. His face darkened, but his voice did not change: "Very well, Elder Dongfang. Since that is how it is, I am reassured."
After hanging up, Feng Tianhu stamped his foot in hatred and walked toward the Feng family's ancestral shrine, where Feng Nitian's memorial tablet was kept. He needed to calm his mind and think of a better way to deal with Wei Zhao and Xu Shilan. Until Wei Zhao was dead, he would not rest!
Gazing at Feng Nitian's memorial tablet, Feng Tianhu swore silently in his heart that he would make Wei Zhao pay! Only now he had lost his ally, and with his own strength alone he could not shake Wei Zhao at all. Next, he would have to find a new outside backer—but who?
That's it! The Tomorrow Upon Tomorrow Sect! It suddenly occurred to Feng Nitian that the Tomorrow Upon Tomorrow Sect had also lost one of its own—and not just anyone, but an important disciple: Pure Yin Heavenly Worthy, the junior brother of the sect master, Pure Yang Heavenly Worthy! With this man dead, the Tomorrow Upon Tomorrow Sect would surely be enraged, would it not?
Heh heh—and that was a master at the absolute pinnacle of the late Heaven Rank! Feng Tianhu knew full well that walking this road to the bitter end was fraught with peril, but now that things had come to this, regret and fear were of no use. He had been driven to this point. Had Feng Nitian not died, he might perhaps have given up and stopped fighting for anything; but Feng Nitian was dead, and he too had been forced onto a dead-end road. Even in fear, he must walk on!
For his own sake, and for the sake of his dead son, a ferocious, crazed look flashed across Feng Tianhu's face.
The Tomorrow Upon Tomorrow Sect and the Five Luminaries Sect were both great sects that had descended from the altar of the ancient plane. The key figures of these sects all possessed soul jade tablets, which would shatter only upon that person's death. Now that Pure Yin Heavenly Worthy's jade tablet had shattered, the disciple in charge of inspections was instantly alarmed and hurried off to report it to Pure Yang Heavenly Worthy!
"What? Junior Brother Chunyin is dead?" Pure Yang Heavenly Worthy was greatly shaken as well. Setting all else aside, he rushed to report the matter to Zhong Yongliang.
Zhong Yongliang's expression was likewise very grim. He knew of the soul jade tablets—when he himself had fallen, his jade tablet had shattered as well; only, he had possessed a secret art to preserve his primordial spirit for a future body-snatching. But Pure Yin Heavenly Worthy had no such secret art. Dead was dead, and the jade tablet did not lie.
"Look into it—how did he die? Was it at Wei Zhao's hand?" Zhong Yongliang's face was dark. He truly found it hard to believe that Wei Zhao now possessed such fearsome power as to slay even Pure Yin Heavenly Worthy, a master at the peak of the late Heaven Rank. If so, just what caliber of expert was Wei Zhao?
