Chapter 672: Can’t Stop Now

But so what?! He had already come so far, how could he stop now? It wasn’t possible! Chu Fengyun’s eyes shone with a maniacal glint.

“Were there any delays along the way?” Chu Fengyun abruptly asked Ren Youran.

“This humble servant did not want your plan to be ruined, so I immediately rushed over after escaping. I traveled day and night, with no rest or delays,” Ren Youran announced.

Chu Fengyun turned to the Wu Feng Hall member from earlier. “Go now. I can only hope he hasn’t obtained news about Ling Chuxi’s return yet,” Chu Fengyun growled. He definitely needed to kill Mo Kongyuan before Ling Chuxi arrived!

The man bowed and retreated, his figure swiftly disappearing as he rushed off. The other experts also disappeared, until only Chu Fengyun and Ren Youran were left.

“You are dismissed too,” Chu Fengyun said to Ren Youran, nonchalantly waving his hand.

“Great Worshipper, my injuries are too severe. I was hoping that the Great Worshipper can do something to save my life,” Ren Youran said hesitantly.

“Save your life? Could it be that you have forgotten the rules of my Wu Feng Hall?” Chu Fengyun laughed scornfully.

“What?” Ren Youran was stunned.

“My Wu Feng Hall has never reared useless trash! You self-exploded your Battle Qi and were attacked by Ling Chuxi. Even if I cured you, you would be crippled, or less powerful, so why should I waste spiritual herbs and True Qi on you?” Chu Fengyun sneered.

“Great Worshipper, I beg you... I have been loyal to Wu Feng Hall for so many years, please save my life!” Ren Youran’s face turned pale, and he quickly knelt on the ground.

“Scram!” Chu Fengyun shouted, not the least bit moved.

“Great Worshipper, did you forget? Back then, when you persuaded me to join Wu Feng Hall, you said that you would give me a life of luxury and that I would be safe. All these years, I have borne the crime of betraying my country for the sake of glory, and have been through so many life-threatening situations for Wu Feng Hall. Aren’t you afraid of others finding out, if you do this? If this matter was made known to others, who would dare work for Wu Feng Hall?” Ren Youran asked Chu Fengyun desperately, his gaze pleading.

“You’re right, I didn’t realize that doing something like that might scare off people,” Chu Fengyun said thoughtfully, stroking his beard.

Hearing Chu Fengyun’s words, Ren Youran’s eyes glimmered hopefully. However, before he could even blink, Chu Fengyun stood before him, one hand against his chest.

“You...” Ren Youran choked out as he stared down at Chu Fengyun’s hand in horror. Suddenly, a mighty strength that could flip mountains and overturn seas slammed into his chest. The sound of ribs breaking echoed in his ears as Ren Youran spat out a gruesome mixture of blood, bones, and pieces of organs.

“Without you around, no one else would find out, so nobody would be scared off.” Just before dying, Ren Youran heard Chu Fengyun’s emotionless voice.

Memories of Ren Youran’s life flashed before his eyes. He had once been the genius cultivator of Nan Xia, becoming famous at a young age. Later on, he was unable to withstand temptation and betrayed Nan Xia to join Wu Feng Hall before the great assessment competition, bearing the infamy of betraying his own country for the sake of fame, and risking his life for Wu Feng Hall. At this old age, he had also been injured because of Wu Feng Hall, yet he was kicked aside like a dog, and in the end, personally silenced by Chu Fengyun.

A self-deprecating smile appeared on Ren Youran’s ashen face. His entire life was a tragic joke.

The riches and glory he had hungered for in the past were nothing more than passing clouds, and all that was left now was his infamy. If he had known earlier, he would have chosen differently!

Ren Youran’s gaze slowly dimmed and a deep sense of remorse filled him. It was already too late...
