Chapter 183 Secret

"That was more than 20 years ago. I was just a four-year-old child when the elders of my family dragged me to the Feng family to watch the ceremony."

"Watch the ceremony?" Feng Tianning asked puzzledly.

Didn’t you just say that Feng Tianhe is a murderer?

"He gathered everyone in the Feng family lobby, and those who were controlled were tied up in the yard outside."

"Almost everyone from the ancient martial arts family is here, even us children are no exception."

"Feng Tianhe used almost inhumane means to kill all those people. Since then, no one dared to resist him."

"Then why are you afraid? Even if he is killing people, the ancient martial arts family has probably killed many people. You don't have to be afraid of him."

Xuan Gou Chen took a deep breath and added, "He killed the top leaders of the nine major families."

"That day, all the clan leaders and elders were killed. No one survived. The current clan elders are all newcomers."

Feng Tianning frowned, and the doubts in his heart grew even heavier.

"Why would he do that? What do you mean by people being controlled?"

“Who controls them?”

Feng Tianning's series of questions left them a little confused.

Fu Ruxuan hesitated for a moment and then said, "Tian Ning, a hundred years ago, a being who claimed to be a god suddenly appeared in the Chinese cultivation world. It was he who controlled the top leaders of the ancient martial arts families."

These were all absolutely beautiful, and she only learned these secrets when she accidentally overheard the conversation of the head of the family.

"immortal?"

Feng Tianning couldn't quite believe it. She wanted to know which god dared to disrupt the order of the mortal world like this.

"Who is it?"

Fu Ruxuan shook her head and said, "I don't know, but he is extremely powerful. With just a flick of his finger, no one in China can defeat him."

"Rather than saying he controlled the major families, it would be more accurate to say he killed all the top leaders and replaced them with a group of puppets with extremely high cultivation bases."

"These puppets have no thoughts, but they look the same as the original humans, and their combat power is extremely strong."

Xuan Gou Chen also added: "I heard my grandfather mention that those puppets only obeyed the words of that immortal. In this way, the ancient martial arts family became a knife in his hand."

Feng Tianning frowned and asked, "Did he ask you to do anything?"

Fu Ruxuan shook her head and nodded again: "He didn't ask us to harm or damage China's citizens or national strength, he just asked us to find someone."

"Looking for someone? Who?"

Fu Ruxuan hesitated for a moment and said, "It seems to be a woman, but I don't know who it is."

"Decades passed like this, and the immortal never found the person he was looking for, so he never appeared again."

"You haven't thought about resisting?"

Fu Ruxuan smiled bitterly: "Of course there are, but all those who wanted to resist disappeared quietly until Feng Tianhe appeared."

"He went straight to the territories of each family with just one sword, and killed all those puppets in front of all of us."

Xuan Gou Chen subconsciously shuddered when he thought of the bloody scene.

"Just because of this incident, the ancient martial arts family chose him as the leader?"

Qin Guan also stepped forward and shook his head, saying, "Not entirely. We do admire his methods, but what's more important is that he survived."

"Just a few hours before he took action, many monks were killed for trying to resist, but she survived."

"So the other families speculated that he might have made some kind of deal with that immortal, which led to the current situation."

Feng Tianning lowered his eyes, thought for a moment and then said, "He agreed to help find someone?"

"I don't know, but it's definitely not that simple."

"After he became the head of the Feng family, his strength increased by leaps and bounds. Since then, no one has been able to see through his cultivation."

"So that immortal must have given him some other benefit. Their deal must be more than just finding someone."

Feng Tianning frowned and suddenly thought of the line of small words he saw above Feng Tianhe's head just now.

"Level 4 Earth Immortal."

"What?" Fu Ruxuan and the others didn't react at once.

"His cultivation level is the fourth level of Earth Immortal." Feng Tianning repeated.

"But apparently, he's only at the peak of the Ascension Realm. Logically, he should have broken through long ago, but it seems like he's been suppressing it by some means."

Xuan Gou Chen moved his lips, but in the end he couldn't say anything.

The other families had many speculations about Feng Tianhe's cultivation level. She always thought that no matter how powerful Feng Tianhe was, his cultivation level was only at the Ascension stage.

"Tian Ning, is Earthly Immortal the stage after Ascension?"

Feng Tianning nodded and said, "After the Ascension Period, there are five more ranks: Earth Immortal, Celestial Immortal, Daluo Golden Immortal, God, and God Emperor."

"Each stage is divided into levels one to nine."

“Only when one cultivates to the level of a celestial immortal can one be considered truly among the immortals. Although Feng Tianhe is only a small earthly immortal now, he is already one of the best in the mortal world.”

Fu Ruxuan heard the sound of herself swallowing, and it took her a long time to find her voice: "Then he should be the number one in the Chinese cultivation world, right?"

Feng Tianning pondered for a moment and shook his head: "No."

"I sensed it a long time ago that there were two celestial beings in China, but for some reason they chose not to ascend, but to stay here."

"I think it's the special case team's trump card." Qin Guan's voice trembled a little.

Pei Duyan was much calmer. He was not a cultivator, so he naturally had no clear understanding of Feng Tianhe's strength.

He looked at Feng Tianning suspiciously and asked, "But how do you know all this?"

"Logically speaking, only when one's cultivation level is higher than another's can one see his cultivation level."

"Could it be that Inspector Feng is also a terrestrial immortal?" Pei Duyan's half-joking words made everyone's attention focus on Feng Tianning.

She was stunned for a moment, then spoke word by word, "I am the God Emperor."

"I was born a divine fetus. Even without practicing cultivation, I am still a divine being. I can naturally see his cultivation level."

"Puchi." Fu Ruxuan was the first to laugh.

"Okay Tianning, if you don't want to say it, there's no need to lie to us."

"Yeah, everyone has their own secrets, we don't mind."

A dark light flashed across Qin Guan's eyes, but he didn't say anything.

He had a hunch that what Feng Tianning said was true. If she was just an ordinary person, his grandfather and father would not have identified her as the "grandmother" of the Qin family.

Feng Tianning shrugged helplessly. She told the truth but no one believed her.

"Okay, now let's think about what we should do." She started to change the subject.

Fu Ruxuan and the others quickly put Feng Tianning's matter behind them and asked doubtfully, "Tianning, what do you mean by Feng Tianhe's words?"

"Why did Sister Qiao Zi set us up? What exactly does she want to do?"
