Chapter 1697: Chapter 1717: Heavenly Dao Annihilation, Such Terror!_1

"My son is named Feng He, currently possessing the strength of a peak True Immortal. He’s hot-headed and easily provoked. By chance, he made friends with some individuals and, under their influence, joined the Heavenly Dao Alliance."

"After that, the White-clothed Blood Envoy approached me, inviting me to lead the Devil Palace to join the Heavenly Dao Alliance. When we first made contact, I rejected the proposal outright. After all, in the conflict between the Heavenly Dao Alliance and the Immortal Palace, I saw no reason to get involved. It was wisest to remain neutral."

"I had assumed things would end there, but then my son Feng He suddenly returned and urged me once again to join the Heavenly Dao Alliance. He also stated that he had already become a member. Outraged, I sought out the White-clothed Blood Envoy and castigated him for his despicable methods."

"The White-clothed Blood Envoy told me that my son Feng He had fallen for a female disciple of the Heavenly Dao Alliance and had voluntarily sworn loyalty to them. He willingly allowed the Wild Blood Gu to be planted inside him... nobody forced him..."

Lin Chen raised his eyebrows, "Wild Blood Gu? What is that?"

Feng Zhiyin answered, "It is the king among gu insects. The Wild Blood Gu is divided into the Mother Gu and Child Gu. The Mother Gu can control the Child Gu, and whoever has the Mother Gu can manipulate cultivators implanted with Wild Blood Child Gu, even easily controlling their lives and deaths."

"Because of my son, I had no way out, so I went ahead and agreed to the White-clothed Blood Envoy’s terms. On one hand, it was to protect my son, to prevent him from being fooled into becoming cannon fodder. At the same time, the White-clothed Blood Envoy shared many things with me. From those, I deduced that they truly had the power to overthrow the Immortal Palace."

Lin Chen’s gaze shifted slightly as he considered the many ways the Heavenly Dao Alliance manipulated people.

The Oath of Promise, the Wild Blood Gu...

Feng Zhiyin looked at Lin Chen, "I am fated to die today, but I hope that the Immortal Palace can rescue my son from the Heavenly Dao Alliance, find a way to remove the Wild Blood Gu from his body, and restore his freedom..."

Lin Chen shook his head, "I fear that might be a difficult request to fulfill."

Feng Zhiyin angrily demanded, "If you can’t even do that, there’s no point discussing further. Just kill me!"

Lin Chen calmly explained, "Rescuing him would not be difficult. We could indeed find a way to remove the Wild Blood Gu, as long as there is a method. But don’t forget one thing: he did not get implanted with the Wild Blood Gu and then was forced to join the Heavenly Dao Alliance. He voluntarily joined the Heavenly Dao Alliance and willingly accepted the implantation of the Wild Blood Gu."

"Even though I have no idea who within the Heavenly Dao Alliance is eligible to be implanted with the Wild Blood Gu, based on your son’s behavior, he most likely takes pride in being a core disciple or an important figure. Having said that, even if we go through great lengths to save him and help him remove the Wild Blood Gu, he won’t necessarily be grateful. It’s not what he wanted. He might immediately return to his woman, or even willingly get implanted with the Wild Blood Gu once again..."

Stunned and speechless, Feng Zhiyin was at a loss for words.

There was nothing to be done, this was the harsh truth!

Everything was done voluntarily by Feng He. How could they save him?

Or rather, what was the point of saving him?

Seeing the look of despair on Feng Zhiyin’s face, Lin Chen suggested, "Your request carries no meaning. Let’s say we capture your son in the future, we could spare his life and allow him to leave safely. How about that?"

A glimmer appeared in Feng Zhiyin’s eyes as he considered it, "Two things. First, you cannot kill my son. If you capture him, you must let him go. Second, help me kill the female disciple of the Heavenly Dao Alliance whom my son is attracted to."

Lin Chen laughed, "Why?"

Feng Zhiyin responded coldly, "She’s not sincerely attracted to my son, all of this is a trap set up by the Heavenly Dao Alliance. Unfortunately, that stupid boy cannot see through it and is hopelessly enthralled by her."

Lin Chen praised, "Such deep affection for his son, it is truly moving. Very well, I accept your terms. But in exchange, what do you provide me?"

Feng Zhiyin calmly replied, "The real identity and whereabouts of the White-clothed Blood Envoy."

Without hesitation, Lin Chen agreed, "Deal!"

Feng Zhiyin looked at Lin Chen closely before turning his gaze onto Cao Hechuan, "Both of you, swear on this first!"

To the Immortal Palace, Feng He was but a nameless soldier of no importance. Whether he lived or died did not matter, so both Lin Chen and Cao Hechuan swore the oaths as Feng Zhiyin asked, without any intention of deceit. If Feng Zhiyin willingly cooperated with the Immortal Palace to fight against the White-clothed Blood Envoy, they could even be lenient on him. However, while the Immortal Palace might spare Feng Zhiyin, the Heavenly Dao would not!"

With a pale expression, Feng Zhiyin looked up at the sky dome, terror creeping into his eyes.

"The true identity of the White-clothed Blood Envoy is the Four Seas Immortal Monarch Xie Yuanshan. His hidden cave mansion is located on Broken Sky Cliff. The southern branch of the Heavenly Dao Alliance is situated a thousand miles north of Qi Xia City in a giant sky pit..."

Feng Zhiyin’s words were cut short as a sudden, muffled rumbling echoed in the sky. A massive thunderbolt fell from the Nine Heavens, piercing through the sect’s defensive array of the Devil Palace, accurately striking Feng Zhiyin.

Feng Zhiyin’s words abruptly ceased as he was instantly turned into charcoal by the thunderbolt, shattered to pieces, and totally dissipated into the air.

Lin Chen’s pupils constricted sharply, his body shuddering involuntarily in that instant...
