Chapter 431: Chapter 430: What I Owe You in This Life, I Will Repay in the Next

A cold voice came through the phone: "He’s already dead!"

"Impossible! You’re lying! The Western Ghost Emperor was at the Tier Nine Peak of the Martial Immortal realm. No one in the entire Great Xia Empire could have killed him."

"’Tier Nine Peak Martial Immortal... is that supposed to be impressive?’ The voice on the other end was filled with contempt.

"Just who are you?" The Fengdu Emperor finally realized something was wrong, his voice laced with shock.

"Murong Yunhai of the Kunlun Sect," the voice replied calmly.

"Murong Yunhai!" the Fengdu Emperor exclaimed. The phone slipped from his hand, clattering to the floor as his face turned deathly pale.

’That old monster from the Kunlun Sect... even my odds against him are only fifty-fifty, to say nothing of the Western Ghost Emperor.’

Across from him, Ye Feng let out a cold laugh. "Now you can die in peace."

With that, he flicked his long spear, preparing to run the man through without another word.

"Stop!" the Fengdu Emperor roared. He stared at Ye Feng and said coldly,

"Do you still want your parents back?"

Ye Feng’s pupils constricted. The tip of his spear pressed forward another inch. Staring at the Fengdu Emperor, he spoke in a frigid tone,

"Hand over my parents immediately, or die!"

"Hahaha..." The moment Ye Feng finished speaking, the Fengdu Emperor burst into wild laughter.

"You still don’t understand who holds the trump card, do you? Go ahead. Do it. If you dare kill me, I guarantee your parents will be joining me in death. Come on! Do it!"

Ye Feng stared at the Fengdu Emperor, his body perfectly still.

The Fengdu Emperor raised a hand and pushed aside the spear. He looked at Ye Feng with a cold smirk.

"As long as I have your parents, I’m invincible.

Now, give me that item immediately. Otherwise, you can get ready to collect your parents’ bodies!"

Ye Feng swiftly retracted his spear. The next moment, he drew a dagger. He looked at the Fengdu Emperor and said coldly,

"If you get what you want, you’ll let my parents go. Right?"

The Fengdu Emperor’s eyes lit up, and he nodded eagerly. "Your parents are just the bait I used to lure you here. Whether they live or die is meaningless to me. As long as I get what I want, I’ll definitely let them go."

"And if you break your word..." Ye Feng said, staring at the Fengdu Emperor and enunciating each word.

"Then may heaven strike me down and the earth swallow me whole!" the Fengdu Emperor shouted back quickly.

"I hope you keep your word," Ye Feng said. He then raised the cold dagger, aiming for his own abdomen, and prepared to plunge it in.

From behind, Chen Yun’Er cried out urgently, "Ye Feng, don’t! If you lose that item, you’ll become a mere mortal! You’ll be completely at the Fengdu Emperor’s mercy!"

Ye Feng turned to look at Chen Yun’Er, a pained smile on his face.

"Everything I’ve done, this entire journey, has been to save my parents. Now that I finally have the chance, how can I possibly give up?"

With that, he raised the dagger again, preparing to drive it into his Dantian.

"No!" Deng Ling’Er and the Blood Phoenix screamed from behind him. "Ye Feng, if something happens to you, what will happen to us?"

Ye Feng turned to the two women, his face etched with guilt. "Ling’Er, Phoenix... I owe you both in this life. I’ll repay you in the next!"

With that, he raised the dagger and prepared to plunge it into his flesh without hesitation.

’The Fengdu Emperor’s heart nearly leaped out of his chest with excitement. ’The item is almost mine! It’s almost mine!’’

’I’m about to become the king of the entire world! Hahaha...’

But just then, a woman’s urgent voice cried out from nearby, "My son, don’t!"

Hearing that voice, Ye Feng’s body went rigid.

His body trembling, he turned his head. He saw a middle-aged man and woman hurrying toward them, and a smile broke across his face. His voice shook as he said,

"Father... Mother!" Though they had been apart for ten long years, and though their faces had grown old and weary, Ye Feng recognized them in an instant.

They were the parents he had searched so desperately for: Ye Tianwen and Su Mei.

When the Fengdu Emperor saw the couple, his eyes filled with disbelief. He couldn’t help but cry out, "The Central Ghost Emperor himself was guarding you! How could the two of you possibly have escaped? How is this possible?"

Just then, a clear, sweet voice came from behind Ye Tianwen and his wife. "I’m the one who killed the Central Ghost Emperor and rescued them."

As she spoke, a breathtakingly beautiful young woman glided forward.

It was the Jade-Faced Asura.

"It’s you!" Ye Feng’s eyes lit up the moment he saw the Jade-Faced Asura.

"It’s you!" The Fengdu Emperor’s face turned ashen the moment he saw the Jade-Faced Asura. "Ning Xin’Er, you dare ruin my plans? You dare oppose me? You ungrateful traitor!"

The Jade-Faced Asura—Ning Xin’Er—looked at the Fengdu Emperor and shook her head. "Father, I am not trying to oppose you. I’m trying to help you!

You coveted what Ye Feng has, ordered his family to be killed, and imprisoned his parents. You are in the wrong. Heaven is watching everything you do. It’s time to stop!"

"Shut your mouth!" The Fengdu Emperor trembled with rage. "You slut! The Qilin Set wasn’t stolen by Ye Feng—you handed it to him on a silver platter, didn’t you?"

"Yes," Ning Xin’Er admitted without hesitation.

"Fine. Fine! I raised you for over twenty years, only to nurture such an ungrateful viper. I’ll kill you today!" After saying his piece, the Fengdu Emperor lunged toward Ning Xin’Er.
