Chapter 223 - 223 4 Irreconcilable

Chapter 223: Chapter 4: Irreconcilable! Chapter 223: Chapter 4: Irreconcilable! Afterward, a man and a cat, with an unruffled composure, slowly began to search for an exit from this place.

After all, the original entrance had been sealed by the cat’s mother.

After searching for a while, the man and the cat found an obvious indentation at the entrance of the cave that was so conspicuous that anyone with eyes could see it.

“…” Feng Yin looked at Feng Ying, speechless.

“…” Feng Ying looked at Feng Yin, equally silent.

In such an apparent place, they had almost flipped every nook and cranny of the palace a dozen times!

This didn’t do much harm, but it was extremely insulting, critically damaging their pride!

When they finally managed to get out, they realized that the exit was located beneath a huge rock under the cliff on the back mountain, not visible to the naked eye, enigmatic, and elusive.

Once Feng Yin and the cat emerged, the huge rock silently shifted position, completely concealing the entrance and exit, making it impossible to find.

Feng Ying kept looking back, his eyes filled with an intense reluctance to leave.

“When we find your mother again, she can bring you back to play anytime.”

Feng Yin reassured him in a soft voice.

Finally, Feng Ying cast off his lingering feelings and jumped into Feng Yin’s pocket by himself.

“Mew… Mew…”

When we find mommy, can we live here?

“Ok, sure!”

Feng Yin agreed verbally, but inside he muttered: If it were the previous abode, it was a sacred dwelling well fit for living, but after your missy’s rampage, everything is gone. How can anyone live there?

Feng Yin swiftly moved down the path. The colossal ancient trees scattered across the mountains swayed as if bidding him goodbye.

Cheerfully yet cautiously, he returned to the entrance of the small town.

This was the place where he had once lived, and this was where he truly started.

Feng Yin was also full of affection for this small town.

So, every time he saw the town, it felt very familiar.

He happily walked towards the small town.

Then, he suddenly felt a chill run down his spine, as if plunged into an ice cave.

Everywhere he looked, he saw chaotic smoke rising, clearly not a result of cooking.

It was… It carried the pungent smell of something being burnt.

Just like… just like the residual smoke and ash on a battlefield, everywhere he looked, there was a deathly silence.

It was early morning, there were no cries of children, no scoldings of women, no grumblings of men, no idle chats…

Here, it looked like a dead land, with only a few wild animals appearing from time to time – definitely not domestic pets!

A certain indescribable scent hung heavily in the air.

Feng Yin’s heart instantly turned icy cold.

Suddenly, a soft sound echoed.

A wild cat jumped off the wall, with something long in its mouth. When it saw Feng Yin, it started running in panic.

Feng Yin moved quickly, catching the wild cat.

The escaped wild cat dropped what was in its mouth, struggling fiercely to free itself and run away in a panicked state.

The reason the wild cat could escape Feng Yin was not its ability but Feng Yin. When he saw what the long thing was, he almost retched.

That… That was clearly a piece of human intestine!

Jumping onto the wall to look in the direction from which the cat had come, a hellish scene greeted his eyes.

Splattered blood, mutilated bodies, eyes unable to close in death…

“Who did this!? Who was it?”

The enraged roar of Feng Yin echoed in the air for a long time.

Whoo…Whoo…

Countless animals, including wild wolves, vultures, cats, foxes, wild pigs, and various low-level demon beasts, scattered in a panic at this shout, leaving behind only a mess of corpses and debris in their houses.

Many eyes filled with confusion, bewilderment, and despair stared fixedly at the sky.

Some bodies were by the stove where rice was scattered on the ground, implying they were preparing a meal. Some are under the shade of the trees in the courtyard, sitting on small stools, fans by their foot, as though they were cooling off when they abruptly lost their lives.

And then there were the bodies of some small children, still holding onto toys at their moment of death… a few children’s bodies were found in one area with a yarn ball in the middle…

“Beast! What kind of person could be so utterly heartless!”

Feng Yin could feel his hair standing on end.

His body trembled with rage.

Continuing forward, Feng Yin walked in the large town with himself as the only presence. The footsteps, which should have been barely audible, echoed eerily.

In front of him, a stone monument was erected.

Upon seeing it, Feng Yin’s eyes turned blood-red.

“Purple Qi comes from the East; countless lives have been taken. If you want to seek revenge, we’ll be waiting.”

The four words Feng Yin gritted out of his teeth were filled with blood and anger.

“Great Yan’s Purple Emperor!”

Clearly, the Purple Emperor had come, searching for Feng Ying and not finding him, he slaughtered all the living beings of this town.

This was not venting frustration; instead, it was telling the person who adopted Feng Ying in the most brutal way possible: Wherever you go, I’ll go. Either you kill me, or I kill you, but we will never cease until one dies!

Feng Yin was a little skeptical about what Zhuang Weiran said about ‘everyone they knew was implicated and killed’.

Could they be killed that easily?

Where was their conscience?

Killing innocents without compunction?

But now, he believed it.

The bloody reality was right before his eyes, such that he could not refuse to believe!

That’s how this world worked. Whoever had the power could do… anything they pleased!

The Purple Emperor wasn’t even certain if the one who adopted the Cat Emperor was here, yet he acted with deadly intent.

With just a mere guess, he slaughtered the entire town!

How absolutely insane!

“In this life, I will kill you!”

Feng Yin, with bloodshot eyes, made a vow in his heart.

He felt like his heart was about to explode. In both his past and present life, this was the first time Feng Yin had harbored such intense murderous intent and deep-seated hatred for someone.

An irreconcilable hatred!

After that, he took out Heavenly Judgment, examining the top of the bounty list from the starting.

Unsurprisingly, The Great Yan’s Purple Emperor was clearly listed at the top.

“At Supreme Mountain, the limitless Four Sides, the Five Great Lakes, it turns out that there are so many people on this list. And these missions, all of them are in a very long unfinished state.”

“Where are the assassins of Heavenly Judge?”

Feng Yin, his eyes flashing, looked at the list displayed at the top, he couldn’t help but be consumed by anger: “What are the assassins of the Heavenly Judge doing? They don’t take these missions? They all chose to ignore it?”

“Heh heh heh …”

Feng Yin felt a sense of desolation beginning to rise in his heart. At this moment, he suddenly remembered the Journey to the West he had watched in his previous life.

“It’s probably that these are all backed up demons, hahaha…”

Feng Yin started to laugh sarcastically.

He swiftly navigated around the entire town, gathering all the bodies in a large courtyard.

Innumerable wood and hay, along with the vegetable oil and lamp oil from each house, were dumped here by Feng Yin.

“Time is pressing, I really don’t have time to give you a proper burial, or even stay here for long.”

“I can only dispose of you in this hurried way. I beg for your forgiveness. Fellow villagers, have a good journey in the netherworld. If there is a next life, I hope you strive relentlessly to become strong and never be prey to others!”

With a loud bang, the fire blazed up fiercely.

The surrounding houses were collapsed one by one by Feng Yin and thrown onto the fire pile. Dirt, stones, wood, enough to stack up to tens of meters high.

The burning flame, billowing smoke, spewing out from the gaps it couldn’t cover up, burned angrily.

It was as if these innocent people who had died wrongfully were questioning heaven in anger.

“Why? Why is this?!”

Feng Yin left without a word, picking up Feng Ying and leaving.

Every few hundred feeds along the road, no matter the size of the tree, Feng Yin would lay his finger on it to erase all traces of his arrival.

Like this, he got further and further away, until Yuezhou was out of sight.

However, the anger in Feng Yin’s heart at this moment was getting stronger and stronger.

Great Yan’s Purple Emperor!

Great Yan’s Purple Emperor!

You massacre mankind like this, but do you know what it feels like to be slaughtered?

Feng Yin hurried along the road, still going in a circle around Yuezhou. He was also worried that the Great Yan’s Purple Emperor, who could track him to the town, would be able to confirm his route by the traces of the fire and the sad and angry emotions he left in the town.

His understanding of this world was still too limited, and his knowledge of the methods of the peak beings of this world was even more limited. How could he know whether the Purple Emperor had some strange way?

Making such a detour was absolutely necessary.

And during this laborious journey, he also had the idea of going to see that little pine tree from the beginning. If possible, another transformation would help clean up his tracks once again with the now spirited pine tree.

Facing the existence of the Great Yan’s Purple Emperor, being careful was not overdoing it.

Although the anger in Feng Yin’s heart was boundless, he knew that the more he was in such a situation, the more he needed to be clear-headed.

Blind anger was meaningless and could even cost him his life.

Feng Ying quietly lay in Feng Yin’s pocket, obedient.

She didn’t know why Feng Yin was suddenly out of control, but she could sense that Feng Yin was very angry. And because of Feng Yin’s anger, she was angry too.

“Don’t rush. After going back, I will conduct the sixth transformation on you. We all need to grow up and become strong as soon as possible.”

Feng Yin whispered, then quickly took off like a green smoke, swiftly sweeping across the earth.

Feng Ying will be ready for the sixth Spirit Gathering transformation after tonight.

Although he could perform a spirit transformation now, Feng Yin didn’t want to force growth on Feng Ying, and still proceeded step by step.

Spirit gathering transformation, the most a living being can take is nine times, so Feng Yin intended to perform a full nine transformations for Feng Ying.

Not a single one could be less.

And just when he was about to approach the mountain, there was a sudden thud from up ahead. Unexpectedly, a tree root popped up from under a rock.

The root was shaking dramatically.

“Eh? Is this the little pine tree?”

Feng Yin was inexplicably surprised.

Did this little guy grow so fast?

Even though he was still dozens of miles from there, there was already a root popping up here to welcome his arrival?

The tree’s roots were shaking excitedly.

When Feng Yin approached, it gently wrapped around Feng Yin’s hand.

And the moment they made contact, a conveyance of information came instantly. Feng Yin was stunned: danger ahead, do not come forward.
