Aaaagh—
Heart-wrenching screams echoed endlessly through the heavens and earth of the Soul Locking Sect. A massacre was underway…
But outsiders heard nothing of it.
A layer of white mist had sealed off the Soul Locking Sect.
That white mist not only obscured sight and blocked sound — it also possessed a power similar to a barrier.
It prevented anyone from entering the Soul Locking Sect.
And this power persisted for a full several days.
At first, it only kept out a small number of people.
But as the days passed, not only did returning disciples and elders gather in greater and greater numbers outside, even guests who had come to visit the Soul Locking Sect amassed in larger and larger crowds.
And with the news of Hun Lei and Hun Yong's deaths spreading, many people wanted to see how the Soul Locking Sect would respond, so even more onlookers came to watch.
Without exception, all of them were blocked outside by that white mist.
"What is the origin of this mist?"
"Could something have happened inside the Soul Locking Sect?"
People were deeply curious about where this power had come from.
Unable to enter, they could only gather and speculate among themselves.
"Look — that power, it seems to be weakening!"
Suddenly, someone shouted aloud.
Sure enough, the barrier that had been holding everyone back vanished.
At that moment, a tangle of emotions surged through the crowd.
There was tension, there was excitement, and naturally there was unease and fear.
"Oh heavens — how can this be? How can this be?!"
Yet when the white mist had completely dissipated and the people could see everything within the Soul Locking Sect, every single person present saw their expression change dramatically.
Those with bolder constitutions could endure, but the timid turned and ran immediately. Some even fainted on the spot.
Many of the more fragile younger generation members collapsed to the ground, retching endlessly.
As for the people of the Soul Locking Sect, they wailed in anguish, unable to believe what lay before their eyes.
The buildings of the Soul Locking Sect were entirely unscathed — but outside the sect, the corpses of Soul Locking Sect members lay everywhere. The stench of blood rushed at them, thick and overpowering.
There were many corpses, but it was impossible to tell who was who.
Not a single body was intact. They were all in a state of utter devastation — torn limb from limb, as though they had been ripped apart by brute force.
It was tragic. Incredibly tragic.
But in truth, the word that better described the scene was "horrifying."
"How could this happen? Who did this — was it that genius called Chu Feng?"
"Or perhaps those two thieves?"
The crowd had no idea that all of this had been done by Song Yun.
And so they pinned the deed on Chu Feng.
After all, Chu Feng had just killed Hun Lei and Hun Yong at the Dominant Star Manor — the enmity between them had been fully cemented.
"As expected — that genius's background is no ordinary thing."
"Not only was the Dominant Star Manor destroyed, but even the Soul Locking Sect was massacred."
"The world of martial cultivators truly harbors hidden dragons and crouching tigers. It seems I'll need to keep a low profile going forward."
"Otherwise, I might offend some terrifying existence and face total annihilation."
Once people speculated that Chu Feng might be responsible, they didn't condemn him. Instead, a genuine sense of awe toward him took root in their hearts.
Who would dare offend such a terrifying existence?
