Martial Artist: Stronger by Coasting Along

Chapter 692 - 215: Suicide in Guilt, Golden Core Blessing

He knew that Wu Chunqiu’s death was very mysterious.

Some even suspected him, believing that near the Ancient Blue Star, in that part of the starry sky, there could not possibly be a Starry Sky Great Demon capable of killing Wu Chunqiu.

In the entire Ancient Blue Star, aside from Undersea Divine King Mengba, only Ling Feng could have killed him. But considering that Ling Feng had just experienced a fierce battle with Xiang Pangyun, and that Wu Chunqiu was extremely powerful with strong foundations and command over Law Power, it seemed unlikely that Ling Feng, even if hiding his true strength, could have killed Wu Chunqiu.

If even Wu Chunqiu died at Ling Feng’s hands, then Ling Feng would truly be too astonishing.

Therefore, after various investigations and reasoning, Wu Chunqiu’s death was determined to be a guilt-induced suicide.

After realizing the exposure of his deeds and being unable to kill Ling Feng, to prevent the Wu Family from facing devastating repercussions, Wu Chunqiu committed suicide out of guilt.

People were more inclined to believe that Wu Chunqiu used all kinds of methods to try to kill Ling Feng, while Ling Feng continuously sent out distress signals to the Alliance, indicating that Wu Chunqiu wanted to kill him.

Considering Ling Feng’s ability to kill Xiang Pangyun, there was a strong possibility that he could have barely escaped from Wu Chunqiu’s hands.

Moreover, Feng Santong recently confirmed having given Ling Feng a Soul Suppressing Talisman, which Ling Feng also corroborated during the investigation, claiming it was the talisman that allowed him to escape Wu Chunqiu’s pursuit.

Thus, Wu Chunqiu’s death was classified as a guilt-induced suicide.

People were willing to believe that Ling Feng could have killed Xiang Pangyun and also believed that Ling Feng narrowly escaped death from Wu Chunqiu’s hands, while they regarded Wu Chunqiu’s suicide as the most logical behavior.

Firstly, Ling Feng shot Xiang Pangyun out of the Ancient Blue Star’s gravitational pull with one sword, which was enough to demonstrate Ling Feng’s considerable strength. The Demon-Slaying Saber and related tokens of Xiang Pangyun were in his possession, proving Ling Feng successfully killed Xiang Pangyun.

In the context of having the power to kill Xiang Pangyun, using the Soul Suppressing Talisman to successfully block Wu Chunqiu, opening a door to escape, and meeting with members of the Alliance on the Ancient Blue Star seemed logical and reasonable, with no issues at all.

At the same time, this conclusion was what the Wu Family most desired, as it showed that it was Wu Chunqiu alone who betrayed humanity, rather than the entire Wu Family, although the Wu Family could not escape various punishments, such as never again receiving any resource subsidies from the Alliance.

They also had to turn over most of the family’s industries to the Alliance, and all members of the Wu Family underwent strict scrutiny, facing numerous hardships.

Wu Family Ancestral Hall.

"It is now certain that Wu Zhangfeng died at Ling Feng’s hands."

A Wu Family steward said.

All the direct lineage members of the Wu Family in the ancestral hall were terrified, facing an elder whose presence seemed fused with the Law Power as though having no aura.

Wu Family Ancestor.

"It was in the Demon Realm that Ling Feng incited the Origin Power to destroy our Sea of Consciousness."

The three Super Divine Mind Masters who had been manipulated by Ling Feng in the Demon Realm also awakened.

In front of the Wu Family Ancestor, a light screen appeared, showing Ling Feng casually throwing a sword that carried Xiang Pangyun out of Ancient Blue Star’s gravitational pull.

"Ancestor, there must be something unusual about my grandfather’s death."

Wu Qingyun did not believe Wu Chunqiu committed suicide out of guilt.

Because if Wu Chunqiu committed suicide out of guilt, he would have sent a message to him beforehand, leaving no trace of warning.

The image within the light screen shifted.

The content showed a ripple appearing on the Ancient Blue Star, with its center originating from the ocean.

The previously indifferent Wu Family Ancestor displayed a hint of surprise in his murky eyes.

He knew that Undersea Divine King Mengba had been intuiting the Ancient Blue Star Law, attempting to merge with the Ancient Blue Star, and usually did not make any commotion.

Nor would he arbitrarily release Law Power.

Doing so suddenly must have a reason; perhaps something indeed happened in the starry sky.

However, the information collected by the Wu Family only indicated that the Liu Family’s interstellar airship was crushed to pieces by Mengba’s Law Power. Could the arrival of a large number of powerful beings from the Alliance Star have angered Mengba?

The Wu Family Ancestor had some doubts.

He thought that if Mengba’s Law Power was aimed at Wu Chunqiu and Ling Feng, there was no way Ling Feng could have survived.

Moreover, when this Law Power erupted, Wu Chunqiu was still some distance from entering Ancient Blue Star’s starry sky.

Could it be that Mengba suddenly released Law Power simply as a warning to the Alliance to stay away from the Ancient Blue Star?

"Ancestor, please make a decision, what should happen to the Wu Family?"

Wu Qiushi, Wu Chunqiu’s brother, knelt down and said.

"No one can overthrow the Wu Family, and everything the Wu Family loses will double back in time. Do not disturb my cultivation for a while; whether in ten years or four to fifty years, I might comprehend the Dao Seed, and by then everything that was lost will return."

The Wu Family Ancestor said.

"Ancestor, you..."

"The Ancestor is blessed, our Wu Family will be saved."

"Congratulations, Ancestor!"

The Wu Family’s children, previously filled with grief and anger, were speechless with excitement upon hearing this, each bowing to the Wu Family Ancestor.

A master who comprehends the Dao Seed holds significant status in the Black Water Star Realm; the current lack of resources is negligible compared to then.

"Ling Feng concealed his strength, but it is not a concern; let the Hao Family deal with him!"

The Wu Family Ancestor commanded.

He reviewed the events of the past few days and the collected intelligence carefully. Since Mengba’s Law Power wasn’t used to attack Ling Feng but rather the Liu Family’s interstellar battleship, he was confident that although Ling Feng was strong, he wasn’t as astonishingly powerful.

He has neither achieved Immortal Dao Foundation Establishment nor Heavenly Dao Foundation Establishment.

Otherwise, Mengba would have killed Ling Feng without Wu Family’s interference.

The root of Law Power from higher planes was something the Wu Family Ancestor could not even fathom.

"I wish to personally deal with Ling Feng."

Wu Qingyun requested.

No matter what, Wu Chunqiu’s death, in his opinion, was all caused by Ling Feng.

"The Wu Family has already lost its Alliance member status, but you are still a Star Gate Disciple. Preserve this Golden Core Power well."

Upon hearing this, the Wu Family Ancestor lightly touched Wu Qingyun’s brow, a vast force of Golden Core Power resonated naturally with Wu Qingyun’s Dao Platform under the enhancement of Law Power.

Unless one’s strength exceeded that of the Wu Family Ancestor or contacted profound Law Power, no one could detect that a powerful Golden Core Power was hidden within Wu Qingyun’s Dao Platform.

The others looked at Wu Qingyun with intense envy.

"Thank you, Ancestor, for granting me Magical Power. I will not disappoint your expectations."

Wu Qingyun rejoiced, kneeling to the Wu Family Ancestor. He understood that this Golden Core Power could save his life in critical situations and assist him in comprehending Law Power sooner, allowing him to fiercely teach Ling Feng a lesson during the Star Gate Gathering, perhaps even unexpectedly destroying all of Ling Feng’s cultivation.

"With the Ancestor’s presence, our Wu Family will surely become the most powerful family on Titan Star, no, in the entire Black Water Star Realm, long live the Ancestor."

Wu Long knelt on the ground, flattering.

"Long live the Ancestor!"

Wu Zheng and Wu Chengfeng knelt with him, kowtowing to the Wu Family Ancestor.

The Wu Family Ancestor extended a finger calmly and remotely touched each of the three’s brows, astonishing everyone. Could this even be real? Some of the old folks even wanted to kneel down for a period.

But upon seeing the Wu Family Ancestor’s power descend upon Wu Long, Wu Zheng, and Wu Chengfeng, the wild joy on their faces barely had time to unfold before turning into a hideous and terrified misery, reducing them to ashes before they could even let out a scream.

If it wasn’t for the three inexplicably provoking Ling Feng, the situation would not have escalated, leading to the Wu Family’s current predicament. That the Wu Family Ancestor granted them, instead of letting them suffer until death, was already more than considerate.

Witnessing this scene, no one dared to make a sound, suddenly waking up to realize that the Ancestor was famous for ruthless methods; regardless of whether one was of direct descent or even a grandson, as long as it disrupted the Wu Family and his cultivation, there would be no good outcome.
