Chapter 1193: Forcing the Elders to Death — Chapter 1194

"Chu Feng, you did it! You successfully triggered the Ancient Immortal Needle!"

Upon seeing Chu Feng, countless disciples could not contain their excitement and began cheering for him. In that moment, Chu Feng became the sole focus of the world — the center of everyone's attention.

Chu Feng was somewhat surprised by such an enthusiastic reaction, but he felt no timidity. Rather, he was happy, for he knew he had earned people's recognition. At the very least, in this moment, he had won the approval of some.

He, Chu Feng, was no longer a nameless nobody. He no longer had to live under someone else's roof.

With everyone cheering for him like this, Chu Feng's confidence naturally swelled. He turned his gaze once more toward Huang Hai, and also glanced at the several Stargazing Hall elders who had sworn terrible oaths earlier.

Chu Feng remembered clearly — five of them in total, five half-emperor-level elders, who had vouched for Yuan Qing not only by swearing dreadful oaths, but also by pressuring Chu Feng with aggressive hostility.

As the saying goes — debts must be repaid. In this world, what goes around comes around.

And now was the time for them to pay. Now was the time for them to pay the price for what they had done.

"What's the matter, Honorable Elders? Dare to act but not to own up to it? Or are you too afraid of death to speak?" Chu Feng spoke with a smile on his lips. His tone was relaxed and unhurried, yet dripping with mockery — truly the art of cursing someone without uttering a single vulgar word.

"You—" Hearing this, the five Stargazing Hall elders led by Huang Hai all trembled, their bodies shaking and lips quivering. They looked as though they had just swallowed something revolting.

Though they had lived for over a hundred years, they were still human in the end, and all humans feared death. At the very least, these five elders certainly did.

"Actually, you don't necessarily have to die. After all, you are elders — your lives are quite precious."

"So here's what I'll do: I'll pretend none of this ever happened. Everything you said before, I can treat it as a joke." Seeing that the five elders still remained silent, Chu Feng said offhandedly.

"Chu Feng, do not look down on me, and certainly do not look down on those of us from the Stargazing Hall. We have always dared to act and dared to own up."

"Once this old man's words leave his lips, they are like spilled water — never to be taken back."

At that moment, Huang Hai suddenly let out a mighty shout. His aura blazed like a rainbow, truly the bearing of one who welcomed death without fear. And as soon as the words left his mouth, his body flushed red and began to swell.

Then came a thunderous boom. This half-emperor-level powerhouse detonated himself, and after the ripples swept outward, not even a single scrap remained. His death was as thorough as death could be.

He had truly killed himself in front of everyone.

"Elder Huang!!!"

Watching Huang Hai perish, many Stargazing Hall disciples reddened around their eyes, and some even broke into tears. Regardless of anything else, Huang Hai had been their backing within Azure Wood Mountain. With him gone, that backing had vanished. Both heart and reason dictated they would grieve.

"Yuan Qing, this old man truly misjudged you this time — to think I believed in you."

"Yuan Qing, remember this well: this old man's life was lost because of you."

"Yuan Qing, you beast — even as a ghost, this old man will never let you go."

Right after, the other three elders also shouted out one after another. Unlike Huang Hai, however, they showed no righteous acceptance. Instead, they directed their fury at Yuan Qing, revealing just how deep their hatred ran. After all, had it not been for shielding Yuan Qing and defending the Stargazing Hall's dignity, they really would not have had to die.

But the most colorful among them was the fifth and final elder. He did not blame Yuan Qing, nor did he speak any grand words about righteousness. Instead, he shouted at Chu Feng: "Chu Feng, go f*** your grandmother."

Boom!
