Chapter 5980: Mother And Son Crisis
Seeing his aunt’s earnest expression, Chu Feng replied with a grin, “Rest a.s.sured, aunt. I’m not a soft-hearted person. I can take care of myself.”
Jie Tiannian smiled too. She had heard rumors about Chu Feng and witnessed his means. She knew that her nephew was a formidable person. ????????????.???
But she was still worried because she knew that her father was a formidable figure too.
Chu Feng bade farewell to Jie Tiannian. Since he had decided to give up on searching for the remaining key fragments for the time being, he decided to first look for Daoist Sta.r.s.eizer.
As for Zi Ling, he did agree to take her along with him, but he was a selfish person too.
He knew that he was in greater danger than before, so he decided to break his promise and travel alone.
According to the divination bamboo slip, Daoist Sta.r.s.eizer was currently at the Divine Body Galaxy.
After Chu Feng left, Jie Tiannian returned to the realm where the Ancestral Martial Realm Sect’s remnant was located. Jie Tian and the others were still there.
The sealing formation had been breached, but the treasures supporting the formation remained. Jie Tian was using these treasures for his cultivation.
By the time Jie Tiannian found Jie Tian, he had already completed his cultivation.
“You’re finally back, Lord Mother.” Jie Tian was excited to see his mother.
The only person he had shown such a pure smile to was Jie Tianran. It was only in front of these two people that he took on the demeanor of a junior.
“Tian’er, did you make a breakthrough?” Jie Tiannian asked.
“I did. The treasures here are compatible with my bloodline power. If I knew you could reach on time, I would have just used the treasures here for my cultivation instead of squandering them to capture Chu Feng. If so, I would have become a True Dragon World Spiritist by now. However, that isn’t an issue.
“Lord Mother, you should have harvested all of that remnant’s immortal bamboo, right? I’m confident that I can advance to the ranks of a True Dragon World Spiritist with those immortal bamboos!” Jie Tian said confidently.
“Tian’er, I was in a rush. I found the immortal bamboo, but I stumbled upon a problem during its harvesting and failed,” Jie Tiannian replied.
Jie Tian’s smile vanished.
“Tian’er, I’ll find other cultivation resources for you. You just have to focus on your cultivation.”
Jie Tiannian sensed the change in her son’s mood, so she stepped forward to console him.
“Hah...” Jie Tian sneered and pushed aside his mother’s hand.
Jie Tiannian was taken aback. “What’s wrong, Tian’er?”
“Lord Mother, you should just kill me,” Jie Tian said.
“What nonsense are you spouting, Tian’er?” Jie Tiannian was bewildered.
Jie Tian took out a dagger and pa.s.sed it to his mother. “Kill me right now. Otherwise, you’ll regret it.”
“Tian’er, what’s going on?” Jie Tiannian was baffled.
Jie Tian’s eyes were filled blazing with anger. “I concede that the immortal bamboo is hard to harvest, but grandfather and I trust your ability. Others could have failed, but, Mother, there’s no way you would have slipped up. If so, why do you refuse to hand the immortal bamboo to me?
“There’s only one explanation. You gave the immortal bamboo to someone else, and if I’m not mistaken, that person is Chu Feng, right?” Jie Tian roared.
“Audacious! Speculation is not a good habit, much less speculating against your mother,” Jie Tiannian sternly berated Jie Tian.
However, Jie Tian was undeterred. “Speculation? Chu Feng does possess exceptional means, so I don’t doubt you when you claim that he escaped from your hands. However, Lord Mother, you underestimate me and the sealing formation I control.
“Chu Feng might have escaped, but I should have been able to find his whereabouts through the energy remaining in the sealing formation. At least, I should have been able to determine the direction he escaped. This is the power I discovered after grasping control of the sealing formation with my bloodline power.
“However, someone erased Chu Feng’s imprint. I don’t believe Chu Feng did it by himself because he would have to come into contact with the sealing formation’s formation core to do so.
“Ling Mouzi does have access rights to the formation core, but his understanding of the formation is lacking. I doubt he knows that Chu Feng’s imprint is sealed within the formation.
“But Lord Mother, I know you once came here with grandfather to reinforce this formation. You have a deep understanding of this formation. If anyone here has the power to help Chu Feng remove his imprint from the formation, the only person who comes to my mind is you.
“That made me realize that there was more to Chu Feng’s escape. Perhaps, you might have even been the one who knocked us out. Of course, I have no evidence, but the situation speaks for itself.
“You claimed that you had urgent matters to attend to right after saving us, and when you returned, the immortal bamboo was nowhere to be seen. You leave me with no choice but to guess that you gave the immortal bamboo to Chu Feng.”
Jie Tian glared at his mother with furious eyes.
Jie Tiannian bitterly shook her head. “Tian’er, you’re thinking too much into it.”
“Lord Mother, you can deny it, but I’ll inform grandfather. He’ll decide how to deal with this matter. This is your only chance to stop me. Kill me right now, or else grandfather will learn about it,” Jie Tian said.
“Go ahead and tell him,” JIe Tiannian replied.
“Lord Mother, you don’t deserve to be a member of the Seven Realms Sacred Mansion.” Jie Tian harrumphed before taking his leave.
Jie Tiannian’s eyes drooped in sorrow.
...
Chu Feng arrived at one of the Divine Body Galaxy’s Upper Realms. The divination bamboo slip pointed him toward a barren mountain.
At first glance, there was nothing special about the mountain, but Chu Feng could tell that there was a formation s.p.a.ce hidden here.
He quickly found an opening to the formation s.p.a.ce. Using the Initiate Tome, he easily opened a spirit formation gate at the foot of the mountain and entered it.
Beyond the spirit formation gate was an ancient forest.
Before Chu Feng could scan his surroundings, he suddenly sensed his feet sinking into the ground and frowned. A binding power rose from the ground and enveloped his body, restricting him in place.
He was trapped!
