At first, Tan Yu had the impression that Chu Feng was an extremely amiable and easy-to-talk-to good person.
But only now did he realize that this seemingly amiable person had such a fierce side.
Seeing Chu Feng directly exterminate so many people, not to mention the Sect Master's grandson, even the ancestor and the Sect Master themselves were scared into speaking up hastily.
"Lord, spare us! Lord, spare us!"
"We were foolish back then. We truly harbored selfish thoughts and committed an unforgivable sin."
"But what's done is done. Please, Lord, give us a chance to reform. As long as you spare our lives, we will give you whatever compensation you desire."
"What about Tan Yu's Dantian?" Chu Feng asked.
This was the crucial point.
Chu Feng helped Tan Yu out of genuine sincerity.
But recovering Tan Yu's Dantian was also a goal.
Chu Feng felt that the incident with the formation two hundred years ago in the Tan family was very likely related to the awakening of Tan Yu's bloodline.
"Lord, Tan Yu's bloodline is quite special. We did originally intend to merge Tan Yu's Dantian into Shi'er's body, but we found it was completely incompatible."
"So… so…"
"So what?"
"If you dare lie, I'll take your wretched lives," Chu Feng said.
"We wouldn't dare lie! Tan Yu's Dantian is very valuable, so we kept it, hoping to find a method and then use it for Shi'er or our descendants."
"But some time ago, a reaction suddenly occurred within our Sun Moon Sect's sacred ground."
"Inside the sacred ground, there was actually a powerful being."
"It's just that the powerful being was trapped. To help it break free, we exhausted all our efforts and offered numerous treasures, including Tan Yu's Dantian," the ancestor of the Sun Moon Sect explained.
"Sacred ground?" Upon hearing these two words, Chu Feng realized this matter was not simple.
"What exactly is this sacred ground of yours? Explain in detail," Chu Feng said.
Then, through the ancestor's narration, Chu Feng learned the specifics.
As Tan Yu had said, the reason the founding Sect Master of the Sun Moon Sect established the sect here was because he discovered this place was not ordinary.
Calculating it, the Sun Moon Sect had been at this location for over a hundred thousand years.
For this full span of over a hundred thousand years, the Sun Moon Sect had never stopped exploring this place.
Later, they discovered that whenever an unusual phenomenon appeared, a certain patch of land would become active.
Although they had even invited a powerful Spirit World Master to help observe it, they couldn't see anything significant from that patch of disturbed land.
Nevertheless, the Sun Moon Sect sealed off that land and designated it as a sacred ground.
And just recently, the sacred ground had a reaction.
One could clearly see powerful barrier force, and even vaguely hear sounds afterwards.
It turned out that a powerful being was trapped within the sacred ground. Now, this being wanted to break free, but needed the cooperation of the Sun Moon Sect from both inside and outside.
To cooperate with that being, the Sun Moon Sect spent an enormous price to exchange for numerous formation-breaking resources.
They even threw many treasures into the space where that powerful being was trapped.
"Even if breaking the formation requires treasures, what does that have to do with a Dantian?"
Chu Feng was somewhat annoyed.
The other party had lived for so long, yet they didn't understand such a simple principle?
Most importantly, Chu Feng also knew that this place was not ordinary.
That trapped being might very well be a terrifying existence from ancient times.
Now that the Dantian had fallen into that being's hands, it would be extremely difficult for Chu Feng to retrieve it.
After all, Chu Feng was currently still just a junior.
"We… we had no other choice," the ancestor stammered.
