Wei Zhao gave Shen Yushu a rough account of what had happened that night and led her inside, while Xu Shilan went to call Feng Tianqi. Father and daughter did not keep in touch often, and whenever they spoke there was so much to say that a single call might last all night.
But tonight, apart from Xu Shilan and Feng Tianqi, who did not rest, it was destined to be a sleepless night for many others as well.
Feng Tianhu learned of the deaths of Dongfang Jinxing and Pure Yin Heavenly Worthy at the first opportunity. He was scared witless on the spot, as if struck by lightning, holding the phone and unable to believe his own ears. Two experts at the peak of the late Heaven Rank—dead, just like that?
How had Wei Zhao become so powerful? He could now slay top-tier cultivators? Even as Feng Tianhu reeled in shock, deep in his heart was a profound dread. He regretted it—why had he gone and tried to kill Xu Shilan for no good reason? Now he had gone and stirred up such a formidable enemy out of thin air.
If Wei Zhao wanted to come to the Feng family and take Feng Tianhu's life, it would be as easy as turning his hand—even Old Master Feng would not say a single word on his behalf. Because Old Master Feng was no match for him either.
For a time, Feng Tianhu was beside himself with agitation. He felt that his greatest blunder had been joining hands with Dongfang Xiaocui to deal with Xu Shilan—a truly foolish move. No, he could not sit and wait for death! He had to hurry and find Dongfang Xiaocui to discuss a countermeasure.
It just so happened that Feng Tianqi had gone to take Xu Shilan's call, giving Dongfang Xiaocui a chance to slip out. Receiving Feng Tianhu's message, she hurried to their agreed meeting place, and seeing Feng Tianqi pacing back and forth with furrowed brows, she asked in puzzlement, "Tianhu? What are you doing? It's so late—what did you call me out here for? Don't let your second brother get the wrong idea!"
"Sister-in-law, never mind that—something's happened, something terrible!" Feng Tianhu waved his hand, ignoring her earlier words, and said urgently, "Dongfang Yinxing is dead!"
"What?! My second brother is dead?!" Dongfang Xiaocui's eyes went wide, and she stared at Feng Tianhu in disbelief. "Feng Tianhu, are you joking? This joke of yours isn't funny at all! My second brother is an expert at the peak of the late Heaven Rank, with one foot already in great perfection—and you say he's dead?"
"Sister-in-law, what mood would I be in for jokes?" Feng Tianhu frowned. "Pure Yin Heavenly Worthy of the Tomorrow Upon Tomorrow Sect died with him—also an expert at the peak of the late Heaven Rank!"
"What? How did they die? What were they doing?" Only now did Dongfang Xiaocui realize that Feng Tianhu might be telling the truth, and she asked anxiously.
"They joined forces to kill Wei Zhao, but Wei Zhao came out unscathed, and they were the ones he killed!" Feng Tianhu said helplessly. "I can hardly believe it either, but it's the truth! The news will probably spread by tomorrow..."
