"Truly beasts." Ying Mingzhao shouted in fury.
"If I'm not mistaken, it's likely the work of the Soul Infant Sect."
Chu Feng said. Within the scope of his current knowledge, the Soul Infant Sect was the first that came to mind.
"The Soul Infant Sect is still in the Hundred Refinements Ordinary Realm, not yet eradicated?" Ying Mingzhao asked.
"No, they've always hidden themselves well. Many people don't even know of the Soul Infant Sect's existence," Chu Feng said.
"Despicable! What have these so-called righteous sects been doing all these years?"
A look of anger flashed in Ying Mingzhao's eyes. He then turned to Chu Feng and said, "Actually, back then, the reason I founded Hero City was to destroy that Soul Infant Sect. I just never thought that I would later be secretly plotted against by the Kong Heavenly Clan and the Zhou Heavenly Clan."
"I thought that after so many years, the Soul Infant Sect would have been destroyed long ago. I didn't expect that while the four major powers still stand, they haven't done a single thing that matters."
"Senior, don't you think that the wish you couldn't fulfill back then should be fulfilled now?" Chu Feng said suddenly.
Seeing the scene before him, Chu Feng felt increasingly that the Soul Infant Sect needed to be eliminated as soon as possible.
Although, destroying the Soul Infant Sect was a task given to him by his father, one Chu Feng also wanted to complete personally.
But Chu Feng could not find a single reason to let the Soul Infant Sect continue to exist, to let them continue committing atrocities.
So, even if he couldn't complete this task himself, he still hoped the Soul Infant Sect would be eliminated quickly, to prevent other innocent children from suffering such a fate.
Conflicts between cultivators could be tolerated, but those who used the remains of infants to enhance their own cultivation could not be tolerated.
This was something the entire cultivation world could not tolerate.
And now, Ying Mingzhao was the person with the greatest capability to destroy the Soul Infant Sect. So Chu Feng wanted to join forces with Ying Mingzhao, borrowing his power to eradicate this greatest root of evil in the Hundred Refinements Ordinary Realm.
Upon hearing Chu Feng's words, Ying Mingzhao closed his eyes and took a deep breath.
It took a long time before he gradually calmed down. When he opened his eyes again, his gaze was no longer downcast but instead filled with a bright light.
*Swish—* Suddenly, Ying Mingzhao took the Universe Bag from his waist and tossed it to Chu Feng.
"I said that if you rescued me, I would repay you. Take it all," Ying Mingzhao said.
"Senior, this isn't necessary. When I saved you back then, I wasn't expecting any repayment. I was merely fulfilling a trust placed in me." Chu Feng prepared to return the Universe Bag to Ying Mingzhao.
"If you want me to destroy the Soul Infant Sect, then accept it," Ying Mingzhao said.
Hearing this, Chu Feng paused for a moment, then shook his head with a smile. "Senior, it seems you've given me a reason I cannot refuse."
"Then accept it. Accept it, and help me rebuild Hero City."
"I believe my old brothers from back then couldn't have all been killed by the Kong Heavenly Clan and the Zhou Heavenly Clan. They must still be somewhere in the Hundred Refinements Ordinary Realm. I will summon them all back."
"This time, I won't wait. I will also unite all the forces of the Hundred Refinements Ordinary Realm. I want to eliminate this Soul Infant Sect as soon as possible," Ying Mingzhao said.
"Alright. I'll handle this matter with you," Chu Feng said.
Afterwards, Ying Mingzhao returned to the former site of Hero City.
As they had expected, Hero City had long been razed to the ground. What was once a glorious area had become a desolate wasteland.
For thousands of miles around, there wasn't a single soul in sight. No one dared to appear here, fearing they would be mistaken for remnants of Hero City by the Kong Heavenly Clan and the Zhou Heavenly Clan and be killed.
However, Ying Mingzhao was a Spirit World Master, and so was Chu Feng.
With their combined abilities, rebuilding a city was incredibly simple.
Following his memories, Ying Mingzhao reconstructed Hero City.
However, compared to the old Hero City, a magnificent palace now stood in the location of the main city.
This was a palace Ying Mingzhao had personally built, custom-made for Chu Feng.
Although Chu Feng had said he didn't plan to join Hero City, Ying Mingzhao had said it didn't matter.
Chu Feng didn't need to join Hero City, but the gates of Hero City would always be open to him. Hero City would always be his home.
...
It is worth mentioning that not long after Hero City was rebuilt, people began to arrive.
Some of these people were survivors of Hero City from back then, while others had no connection to Ying Mingzhao and came simply out of curiosity.
After making inquiries, Chu Feng learned from these people that they had heard the news that Ying Mingzhao was not dead.
They not only knew that Ying Mingzhao had been plotted against back then by the Kong Heavenly Clan and the Zhou Heavenly Clan.
They also knew that the Kong Heavenly Clan had been destroyed by Ying Mingzhao.
And this rumor was entirely favorable to Ying Mingzhao, not only clearing his name from a thousand years ago.
