<strong>Chapter 4664: Framing</strong>
The Wretched ck Demon’s furious roar echoed a far distance away.
The crowd who were still waiting on the square for the results of the final trial looked at one another with a tense look on their faces, but there was a hint of a gleeful smile on their lips.
They had heard the content of what the Wretched ck Demon shouted too—he wanted Chu Feng and his family to die!
This only went to say that Chu Feng had done something that riled up the Wretched ck Demon.
To be honest, as people from the Nine Souls Gxy, it wasn’t their wish to see someone rising from the Holy Light Gxy. It was only because the Wretched ck Demon kept protecting Chu Feng earlier that they dared not to do anything to him.
However, if the Wretched ck Demon had really made up his mind to deal with Chu Feng, there was no way Chu Feng would be getting out of here alive. This was in line with what they hoped for.
“Lord n Chief, that sounds like Lord ck Demon’s voice!”
Those from the Gongsun n turned to look at their n chief with gleeful smiles on their faces.
“Yes, I’m not deaf. I heard it loud and clear,” the Gongsun n’s n Chief replied with a smile.
He hated Chu Feng deeply for having embarrassed their Gongsun n today, so it would be a good thing if Chu Feng died here today. At the very least, his fury would be quenched.
Shoosh!
But while everyone was specting amongst themselves, a silhouette suddenly appeared in the sky. It was no other than the Wretched ck Demon.
The Wretched ck Demon had already calmed down a little by now, but his face was still extremely livid. Sensing the tense atmosphere in the air, everyone quickly shut their mouths out of fear.
“Lord ck Demon, we heard your words earlier. What did Chu Feng do to incur your rage? Tell us, and we’ll definitely deal with that Chu Feng in your stead.”
It was the Gongsun n’s n Chief who spoke up first.
He was one of the few who had the standing and qualification to speak up in such a situation, and he was extremely curious as to what had happened too.
“I have misjudged Chu Feng. My trust in him was misced. I told Chu Feng and young friend Yuntian not to harm one another in the final examination, and that harmony is of greater importance, but who could have thought that Chu Feng...”
Speaking up to this point, the Wretched ck Demon’s voice suddenly trailed off as he looked at the Gongsun n’s n Chief with eyes filled with remorse.
This made everyone realize that something was amiss here.
“M-Milord, what did Chu Feng do? Yuntian... is he still safe?”
Out of nervousness, the Gongsun n’s n Chief actually started stuttering halfway through his words.
“Gongsun n’s n Chief, I have to regrettably inform you to young friend Gongsun Yuntian has been killed by Chu Feng. Even his body has beenpletely destroyed,” the Wretched ck Demon said.
“AHH!!!”
The Gongsun n’s n Chief felt energy sapping away from his limbs as he saw the world spinning around him. He staggered backward weakly, and the crowd from the Gongsun n quickly rushed forward to support him.
It was a huge blow to the Gongsun n’s n Chief.
One must know that Gongsun Yuntian was the future hope of the Gongsun n. He was still pinning his hopes on Gongsun Yuntian bringing the Gongsun n to greater heights, but Gongsun Yuntian actually lose his life!
“Lord ck Demon, are you... joking? I have set up a protective formation on Yuntian. There’s no one I wouldn’t sense anything if an ident really urred to him!”
The Gongsun n’s n Chief took a while to calm down before posing his question once more.
“Gongsun n’s n Chief, Chu Feng’s means aren’t as simple as you think. He’s even able to escape under my eyelids. Do you think that the protective formation you set up can really stop him?” the Wretched ck Demon said.
Upon hearing those words, the Gongsun n’s n Chief reached out toward his Cosmos Sack with trembling hands. He carefully took out a wooden box made out of spirit power and pried it open.
There was a row of pearls inside.
Every single pearl had a person’s name, just not the very first one. The first pearl had already shattered into pieces.
“O’ heaven, why must you treat our Gongsun n in such a manner!”
Seeing the shattered pearl, the Gongsun n’s n Chief let loose a grieved howl before his eyes rolled over. He had fainted.
“Chu Feng, our Gongsun n will never let you off!”
Everyone from the Gongsun n roared in fury. They knew that the shattered pearl was Gongsun n’s Life Pearl. It would only shatter when Gongsun Yuntian was dead.
“Milord, has Chu Feng really escaped?”
The crowd from the Gongsun n asked.
They knew the Wretched ck Demon’s capability very well. He was a feared name by all in the Nine Souls Gxy. If Chu Feng was really able to escape from his hands, it would mean that Chu Feng was much more formidable than they had thought.
“It’s my ipetence that allowed Chu Feng to get away. However, you need not worry. Since Chu Feng dares to mess around in my territory, this is no longer a matter of the Gongsun n’s anymore. I won’t let that brat off either.
“Everyone here can bear witness to my words. If anyone manages to capture Chu Feng alive, I’ll reward him handsomely!”
The Wretched ck Demon spoke grandly to both the Gongsun n and the crowd around.
While the Wretched ck Demon’s reassurance was of some constion to the Gongsun n, they still looked incredibly despaired. Gongsun Yuntian was simply too important to them.
Afterward, the Wretched ck Demon also dered that the matchmaking convention had been annulled.
Everyone could understand the reason behind that verdict. Given everything that had happened, there was no way the marriage convention would continue on.
As a result, everyone quickly scattered and returned.
However, what they didn’t know was that the culprit who killed Gongsun Yuntian wasn’t Chu Feng but the Wretched ck Demon. It was only out of malice that the Wretched ck Demon decided to frame it all on Chu Feng.
Yet, no one doubted his words at all. On the contrary, they trusted him deeply.
What was worthy of mention was that the Gongsun n was still hoping to capture Xiao Yu and Xia Yan. While, on the surface, it didn’t seem like they had any close rtionship with Chu Feng—their alliance had only been one of convenience—the Gongsun n didn’t wish to leave any stones unturned.
It was just a pity that those two fellows had already left in advance, such that even the Wretched ck Demon couldn’t find them.
As a result, those from the Gongsun n could only return in resignation.
What they needed to do now was to announce the death of Gongsun Yuntian and release a kill order on Chu Feng. They would mobilize the full forces of the Gongsun n for this while engaging the help of the public through a bounty.
Regardless of the cost, they were determined to get rid of Chu Feng so as to avenge Gongsun Yuntian.
And after a moment of journeying, the Gongsun n finally returned back to the world they ruled over. However, as soon as they stepped out of their teleportation formation, they found themselves blocked by a silhouette.
Taking a closer look, their eyes widened in bewilderment. They couldn’t believe what they were seeing.
It was a familiar face blocking their path. It was the person whom they were looking for but was nowhere to be found—Xiao Yu!
