Father, please rest assured
The Soul Seal is integrated with the host's Divine Soul. As long as Gu Yuanqing focuses his thoughts on the Soul Seal, he can not only remotely sense the host's thoughts, but also use the host's Divine Soul to observe the Heaven and Earth.
Looking towards the Mountain Observation, Gu Yuanqing saw Chen Zhengfeng sitting cross-legged in the meditation room, showing no signs of distress.
It was possible to see with Divine Soul, but it was discovered that Chen Zhengfeng's Divine Soul had already left his Physical Body. A deep, dark path stretched forward, with a faint light illuminating the way, while both sides of the path were shrouded in darkness.
He seemed to faintly hear someone calling Chen Zhengfeng's name, and Chen Zhengfeng's Divine Soul unconsciously drifted toward the direction from which the sound came.
As he continued forward, the road behind him rapidly disappeared.
The only one who was conscious here was Gu Yuanqing, who used the Soul Seal to constantly survey his surroundings.
The road was illuminated by what appeared to be a Full Moon. From the darkness on either side, something seemed to occasionally glance in this direction, its gaze lingering for a moment before finally moving away.
According to Bai Xianghui, this might be Spell Art of the Mysterious Moon Mirror of Profound Communication, which uses the Underworld as a gateway, so those watching this direction might be creatures from the Underworld.
A moment later, Gu Yuanqing noticed that Chen Zhengfeng's Divine Soul was being rapidly depleted, as if walking on this road required a great deal of effort every second.
Suddenly, a large door appeared in front of him. Chen Zhengfeng stepped through the door and his Divine Soul immediately became clear.
What appeared to be Heaven and Earth Void was a mirror floating in front of them. The mirror clearly showed the location of the Slanting Moon Bai Family, including Chen Zongyao, the father of Bai, Wang, Ji, and Tong families.
The first person was a Daoist priest, and judging from his clothing, he was clearly a member of the Wind Moon Sect.
There are no fools who can reach the Divine Platform Ninth Layer. Chen Zhengfeng knew what was going on at a glance. His face darkened instantly. Being summoned here by someone's Spell Art meant that he had given his birth date to the spellcaster.
It's like having a knife lying outside that could strike you at any moment; how could Cultivator possibly be in a good mood?
Chen Zongyao immediately saw through his son's thoughts, smiled awkwardly, and said, "Zhengfeng, I'm only doing this because I'm worried about you."
Just as Chen Zhengfeng was about to reply, Gu Yuanqing's voice suddenly echoed in his mind.
You should know what you should and shouldn't say!
Chen Zhengfeng felt a chill in his heart, and the little thoughts in his mind immediately disappeared. Compared with other things, he cared more about his life.
"Zhengfeng, let me ask you, are you and the others in the Floating World?" Wang Shihong stepped forward.
Chen Zhengfeng's mind raced, trying to figure out how to respond, but he remained outwardly calm and said, "It's in the Floating World."
"What exactly happened? Why did my son, Wang Yuchi, suddenly die?" Wang Shihong asked in a deep voice.
Gu Yuanqing suddenly transmitted his Divine Soul: "Tell me that the Wang Family ambushed and killed Ji Yuan, and then the two members of the Bai Clan surrounded and killed Wang Yuchi."
Chen Zhengfeng's lips twitched, but he still embellished the story as Gu Yuanqing had instructed.
As soon as she spoke, Ji Yuhuan's eyes turned to Wang Shihong with murderous intent. If this were not just Avatar teleported from the Slanting Moon Token and not possessing much offensive power, she probably would have already attacked.
Wang Shihong was stunned for a moment, then flew into a rage. "Nonsense! How could my son have ambushed Ji Yuan?"
Ji Yuhuan's expression was cold as she said, "Wang Family, the relationship between the Chen Family and the Li Wang Family is much better than that between my Ji Family. Now that we're being questioned face to face, everyone is listening, so there can't possibly be any falsehood."
Wang Shihong stared intently at Chen Zhengfeng in the mirror and said sternly, "My son sighed with me all night before he left, devising a plan for the Floating World. He certainly won't act rashly. Chen Zhengfeng, explain the whole story to me, or don't blame me for being impolite to your Chen Family."
Chen Zongyao also secretly winked at Chen Zhengfeng, and said somewhat awkwardly, "Yes, Zhengfeng, please explain the whole story clearly."
Chen Zhengfeng guessed that he must have been forced to hand over his birthday information due to pressure from the Wang Family. He already harbored some resentment towards the Wang Family, and now that he was being threatened again, he was even more displeased. So he decided to go all out and continue to add fuel to the fire.
"How could I dare to speak of such a thing? When we arrived in this Boundary Domain that day, we first split up to search the Boundary Domain. Then we sensed a high-level battle taking place on the Divine Platform. We rushed over and witnessed him killing Ji Yuan. Afterwards, the two Bai brothers arrived and chased after Brother Wang. Later, we learned that it was because of a Heavenly Ladder treasure. Brother Tong and I were both present at the scene. If you don't believe me, Uncle, you can call him over."
Upon hearing this, Wang Shihong's expression changed completely. Although he was unwilling to believe it, these words did not come from the Bai Clan, but from the Chen family, who were on the same side as the Wang Family Chen Family.
Ji Yuhuan's eyes blazed with fury. "Wang Shihong, what else do you have to say? Don't you owe the Ji Family an explanation?"
Wang Shihong's expression was grim. "An explanation? Even if what he said is true, they only rushed there afterward. Who knows who struck first? Besides, my son is dead. What explanation do we have?"
Only Chen Zongyao felt a little flustered. As the saying goes, no one knows a son better than his father. Even though Chen Zhengfeng's words were flawless, he could still tell from certain aspects that there was a lie in them.
He kept giving Chen Zhengfeng winks, but Chen Zhengfeng acted as if he didn't see them at all. Instead, he sighed and said, "When Brother Tong and I arrived at the scene that day, we tried to stop it, but who would have thought that Brother Wang would go crazy and forcefully set up the Array Formation to kill Ji Yuan? Our strength was insufficient, and even if we wanted to, we were powerless to stop him."
Ji Yuhuan's Divine Soul suddenly expanded, as she transmitted power through the Slanting Moon Token. A chilling killing intent spread, and the temperature in the area dropped.
Wang Shihong's Divine Soul gradually solidified, and it seemed he was about to make a move.
Daoist Yuechen said calmly, "If you want to fight, then wait a while. If you have no questions, I will dispel the Spell Art, since the longer it drags on, the greater the energy expenditure will be."
Bai Changbi quickly replied, "That's right, such an opportunity is rare. Let's first inquire about the situation in the Floating World."
Upon hearing this, Ji Yuhuan suppressed her anger.
Chen Zongyao quickly asked, "Zhengfeng, what's the situation in the Floating World right now?"
Chen Zhengfeng smiled and said, "Father, please rest assured. The four of us have divided the Boundary Domain, each governing our own area and suppressing the various countries and Sect within this realm. Everything is under our control. The only problem is that their strength is too weak, and the good things appearing in the Heavenly Ladder are too few..."
Upon hearing this, Bai Changbi and the Tong Family were both relieved.
Chen Zongyao's Divine Soul appeared to be smiling at the scene, but his physical body, far away in the Chen Family, was covered in sweat.
"No, absolutely not! He must be hiding something, not only about the deaths of the younger generation of the Wang and Ji families, but also about the events in the Floating World. His words are all false. What exactly happened in that realm?!"
