They all understood how Song Yuwei felt.
After Song Yuwei had calmed down, Chu Feng spoke once more: "Senior, while the Situ Spirit Gate truly deserved to perish, the mastermind behind this matter was someone else."
"Someone else?"
Hearing this, Song Yuwei was taken aback.
She had always believed that the Situ Spirit Gate had acted alone. She never expected there was someone pulling the strings behind the scenes.
"Senior, do you still recognize this person?"
As Chu Feng spoke, he tossed Jia Lingyi out.
"What is this?" Looking at the deranged, wretched woman before her, Song Yuwei could not recognize her.
"This is Jia Lingyi," Chu Feng said.
"Jia Lingyi?" Upon hearing this, Song Yuwei's expression changed, and she immediately asked Chu Feng: "Jia Lingyi of the Alchemy Immortal Sect?"
"Mm." Chu Feng nodded.
"What?"
Hearing this, Song Yuwei drew in a sharp breath, her emotions growing even more complicated.
Beside her, Elder Monk Yi Ku's expression was equally dramatic.
They certainly knew who Jia Lingyi was — the young miss of the Alchemy Immortal Sect, prodigiously talented, and a figure of immense authority.
Moreover, she had been on very good terms with Chu Feng's grandmother.
Because of that connection, upon seeing Jia Lingyi reduced to this state, Song Yuwei's first reaction was one of concern: "Miss Jia Lingyi, how did you end up like this?"
Chu Feng said: "She is the true culprit who brought about the destruction of the Golden Dragon Flame Sect."
"What?"
Those words struck Song Yuwei like a sledgehammer smashing into the top of her head.
For a moment, her eyes were filled with confusion, and her mind went blank.
Then, Chu Feng recounted the entire series of events.
It had all stemmed from Jia Lingyi. Her jealousy of Chu Feng's grandmother was what had set everything else in motion.
But after learning the full truth, while Song Yuwei was furious, her predominant feeling was worry.
She was worried about Chu Feng, because the Alchemy Immortal Sect was far too powerful — it was a colossal force second only to the Heavenly River's overlord, the Totem Dragon Clan.
The Situ Spirit Gate was simply not comparable to it.
Such a force was not to be offended — that truth had been drilled into their minds from a young age, deeply and irrevocably rooted.
Therefore, upon learning that this matter involved Jia Lingyi, her feelings leaned more toward pressure and fear than toward anger.
"Young Master Chu Feng, did you do this to Jia Lingyi?"
As Song Yuwei spoke, her anxiety and fear were impossible to conceal.
"Senior, please… please don't be nervous."
"The Alchemy Immortal Sect has al-al-al… already been destroyed."
Seeing through Song Yuwei's worries, before Chu Feng could even open his mouth, Wang Qiang rushed in to say.
"What? The Alchemy Immortal Sect has been destroyed?"
Hearing this, let alone Song Yuwei, even Elder Monk Yi Ku's face changed drastically.
"Look how scared you are. What's the Alchemy Immortal Sect anyway? It's noth-noth-noth… nothing at all."
"You two have just been locked up in here for too long — you have no idea what's been happening out there."
"Come, come, come. Allow me to give the two of you a proper introduction."
With a triumphant air, Wang Qiang gestured toward Chu Feng: "This here is my good brother. He is not only the grandson of Senior Song Luoyi, but also the strongest young cultivator in the entire vast world of martial cultivation, the savior of the Totem Dragon Clan, the son of Jie Ranqing — the most powerful figure in the Seven Realms Sacred Manor — and the inheritor of the Blood of Kings."
"So-so-so… so that Alchemy Immortal Sect you all fear? In front of my brother, it's just a fart."
Wang Qiang's words came out with complete ease.
But that simple string of information crashed down on Song Yuwei and Elder Monk Yi Ku like a sky full of thunderbolts, like towering tidal waves, battering them wave after relentless wave.
"Young friend, what you… what you're saying — is that about Young Friend Chu Feng?"
"Young Friend Chu Feng is Jie Ranqing's son?" Elder Monk Yi Ku looked toward Wang Qiang.
Song Yuwei likewise gazed at Wang Qiang with eager concern, her aged eyes filled with…
