Chapter 149: Chapter 134: Talk About It Later

But he had still chosen to trust him.

It wasn’t until just now—when Yun Feng ambushed him from behind—that Yun Buliu’s last bit of trust was completely worn away. He finally accepted the reality that his judgment might actually be flawed!

Yun Buliu felt truly helpless in his heart. He was helpless because he had misjudged someone! He admitted that he was merely mortal, and he, too, could make mistakes!

He had genuinely wanted to clear the sect of a traitor. However, when his hand pierced Yun Feng’s chest and crushed his heart into pieces, he saw that Yun Feng’s expression was actually one of joy. When Yun Feng said he was finally free, and when his words held hidden meanings—as if betraying his master and the sect wasn’t his true intention—and then seeing the Demonic Creatures completely disregard Yun Feng’s life or death...

He understood! There was definitely more to Yun Feng’s situation than met the eye.

Based on Yun Feng’s usual personality, he would never be so arrogant, nor would he be so mindless.

"Feng’Er..." Yun Buliu let out a mournful, low roar as he held his dead disciple on the stage. He gently stroked that seemingly mature face, which still occasionally revealed a hint of childishness in its contours.

He was still just a child!

"Master..." Shangguan Xiu’Er stepped onto the stage and quietly walked up to Yun Buliu’s side. "My condolences. I know the bond you shared with Senior Brother Yun Feng, but... he ultimately let you down!"

"No... you don’t understand," Yun Buliu shook his head. Tears streamed down his already aged face.

Shangguan Xiu’Er opened her mouth but didn’t know how to comfort him.

Yun Buliu touched Yun Feng’s cheek, then his hand slowly slid down to Yun Feng’s finger. There, a Storage Ring inlaid with a blue Space Gemstone sparkled brilliantly.

He took it off!

"Feng’Er, rest assured. No matter what grievances you suffered or what coercion you were under, from today onward, your Master will definitely clear your name!" Yun Buliu declared.

Then, with a sweep of his Divine Sense, he erased Yun Feng’s imprint on the Spatial Ring.

"Open!"

The Spatial Ring trembled slightly before it opened. A spatial interface, resembling a mirror with a gateway of blue smoke, appeared before Yun Buliu’s eyes.

"Now... your Master will prove your innocence!" Yun Buliu said.

He still believed that Yun Feng hadn’t intentionally turned against him. However, the next scene left him stunned! Because inside the Spatial Ring... it was actually... empty???

"Why is it empty? There’s nothing here?" Yun Buliu was dumbfounded.

CLATTER CLATTER.

Yun Buliu searched through the Storage Ring, but there was absolutely nothing inside. It was completely empty.

The answer? Where was the answer Yun Feng had mentioned? Why wasn’t it here?

"Could it be... it’s not this ring?" Refusing to give up, Yun Buliu patted down Yun Feng’s corpse for a long while.

Aside from this ring, he did find another Storage Artifact, though it wasn’t a ring, but a belt. However, other than some medicinal herbs and Alchemy tools inside the belt, there was no so-called answer either!

Did Yun Feng do this just to infuriate Yun Buliu one last time before his death? To make sure Yun Buliu wouldn’t find peace even after he died?

No... Yun Buliu chose to believe Yun Feng!

"Master, what should we do with his body? Yun Feng betrayed his master and the sect..." Shangguan Xiu’Er asked.

"Xiu’Er, do you believe in your Master?" Yun Buliu interrupted her.

"I do, of course I do!"

"If one day your Master wanted to kill you, do you think it would be real?" Yun Buliu asked again.

"I wouldn’t believe it. Even if Master really did it, you would have your hidden difficulties!" Shangguan Xiu’Er answered without hesitation.

"Then what if it were you? If you were to do something detrimental to your Master in the future... and you wanted your Master to believe you, that you are Wuxin, do you think... your Master would believe you?" Yun Buliu pressed.

"He would, of course he would believe me. Master never trusts people easily, nor do you take in disciples lightly... Besides Yun Feng, I am your only other disciple. You once said that I am someone you trust, and if one day the whole world misunderstood me, you would still choose to believe me!" Shangguan Xiu’Er said.

"I trust you, just as I trust Yun Feng!" Yun Buliu said.

"This disciple knows, but..."

"I’m telling you, there is definitely another story behind Yun Feng’s situation. Do you believe it?"

"I do!"

"Good. Find a coffin and lay your Senior Brother’s body to rest. I swear, whether the Demon Dao or Immortal Dao evildoers are behind this... I will investigate this matter thoroughly!" Yun Buliu vowed, looking at Yun Feng’s tragically dead body.

"Yes!"

Outside Chen Family Village.

On a rather narrow dirt road that served as the main passage into Chen Family Village, five cloaked figures walked as swiftly as the wind. Their footwork was bizarre, and their movements were incredibly fast, covering thirty to forty feet with a single step.

If Yun Buliu were here, he would definitely recognize them. These were the five Demonic Creatures that had just been watching the battle from the sidelines.

"Elder, why did you leave Yun Feng to die just now?" one Demonic Creature asked the Demon Dao Elder in the middle.

"Indeed, this subordinate doesn’t understand either. Yun Feng was a Saint Grade Alchemist, after all. Saving him would only bring benefits and no harm to the Holy Sect!"

The man referred to as the Elder maintained a calm and composed demeanor. "Hmph. Why save a born traitor?" The Demon Dao Elder opened his palm, revealing a Storage Ring with a blue gemstone resting quietly in his hand.

"Huh? Is this... Yun Feng’s ring? When did you swap it, Elder?" someone asked in astonishment.

"Have you forgotten? The Elder also goes by the title of ’Master Thief’. Secretly swapping a ring is nothing to him!" another person chimed in with flattery, but didn’t forget to ask, "I just don’t know what use there is for you to swap this ring, Elder?"

"He definitely didn’t want it to fall into someone else’s hands. After all, the collection of a Saint Grade Alchemist is nothing simple. Yun Feng is dead, but his collection couldn’t be lost. The Elder did it to preserve the greatest interests of the Holy Sect. It’s just that..."

"Why did the Elder say he was a born traitor? I thought Yun Feng was quite loyal. He didn’t even hesitate to ambush his most beloved Master, and even died for it!" someone else expressed their confusion.
