She was the top alchemist from a prominent ancient martial arts family in the 21st century. With one transmigration, she found herself in the body of the discarded eldest daughter of a general'...
Soon, the two arrived at the main hall. Sure enough, just as he had guessed, Feng Jun had indeed summoned all the core members of the Feng family and all the elders. Even Feng Qun, who had been in seclusion for some time, had come out.
Feng Qun is Feng Che's grandfather.
When Feng Che, who had been away from the Feng family for more than ten years, suddenly returned and even asked Feng Jun to convene a family meeting, everyone present looked at each other in bewilderment, wondering what had happened.
Feng Luo and Feng Yan exchanged a glance. They had also been summoned back by Feng Jun in a hurry, but they didn't expect it was because of their second brother. Considering that their second brother had always ignored the affairs of the Feng family, this commotion was likely related to Lan'er. Feng Luo narrowed his eyes, lost in thought.
"Second brother, fifth brother, you're finally back."
Feng Jun greeted him with a smile.
"Big brother."
Feng Che and Feng Wu shouted in unison.
The two then bowed to the people above them, saying, "Grandfather, Father, and all elders."
"Alright, please take a seat!"
"Second brother, why did you ask me to gather the Feng family so early in the morning? Is something wrong?" Feng Jun asked.
All eyes were on Feng Che. Feng Che walked from his seat to the middle of the hall and looked at Feng Cang and Feng Jun: "Father, elder brother, do you still remember the Soul-Locking Needle?"
"Of course I remember. Could it be that my second brother has already found out?"
Feng Che nodded: "Yes."
Feng Jun narrowed his eyes. It was very likely that the person who used the Soul-Locking Needle wanted to destroy the Feng family. Now that the mastermind behind this had been found out, things would be much easier. Killing someone... would only be a matter of a blink of an eye.
But the quick-thinking Feng Luo narrowed her eyes. Her second brother would never make such a fuss over something so trivial.
"Second brother, who is the person behind this?"
"It's Kamakura!"
As soon as he finished speaking, even Feng Wu, who had returned with Feng Che, was stunned. What nonsense was his second brother talking about!
The crowd looked grim. Had they been summoned so early in the morning just to spout this nonsense? Everyone knew that Kamakura Shinto had perished more than a decade ago, yet he was now claiming that the person behind him was someone who had died more than a decade ago.
Looking at Feng Che's serious expression, they couldn't tell whether Feng Che was stupid or they had misheard!
Feng Qun, sitting in the main seat, frowned: "Feng Che, do you know what you're saying!"
"Grandfather, Father, elders, brothers, everything I, Feng Che, have said is true." After saying that, he looked in the direction of Feng Yan: "Fourth brother, haven't you been investigating the Soul-Locking Needle lately? I believe you have also noticed a phenomenon: every time you find a clue, it is wiped out."
Feng Yan nodded: "That's true."
These people, including Feng Jun, had indeed heard Feng Yan mention it, but that doesn't prove that the person behind it is Kamakura.
"I'm sure Father and all the brothers are well aware of Jiu'er's relationship with the Nine Heavens Divine Palace. The Nine Heavens Divine Palace has been investigating this matter recently. Lan'er has left the Phoenix Palace five times in total."
As he spoke, Feng Che glanced at Feng Luo, who gasped. Lan'er had left the manor five times? He hadn't known. He wasn't the only one surprised; everyone present was astonished. Even their own family didn't know, yet the Nine Heavens Divine Palace had managed to find out!
"The first time Lan'er left the manor was with her third brother, but the next four times she went alone. The second time was in Sifang City, the third time was near Xianyin Mountain in Sifang City, the fourth time was also at Xianyin Mountain, and the fifth time was the day before her birthday, when she appeared in Jade City under Blue Star. Moreover, there were eyewitnesses who saw Lan'er with a man..."
“That man is Kamakura,” Feng Che said seriously.
Upon hearing this, everyone wore expressions of disbelief.
But Fengqun still didn't believe it, because he was there when Kamakura ascended to heaven and witnessed his fall.
"Impossible, I witnessed his death with my own eyes back then."
"I have been investigating on Blue Star for some time now, and sure enough, I found some clues about the Moon Goddess."
As he spoke, Feng Che took out the painting in his hand and slowly opened it: "Father, eldest brother, third brother, fourth brother, and fifth brother, I believe you are all very familiar with this hairpin. However, it appeared in the hands of Kamakura. After Kamakura's fall, this hairpin unexpectedly fell into the hands of the Moon God.
The group of brothers stood up abruptly and went to the painting, their eyes fixed on the hairpin in the painting. This hairpin was made by the brothers with great effort, and the phoenix feather on it was obtained by Feng Cang through countless life-threatening experiences. It contained the power of Feng Cang's soul, the soul power of Feng Jun, the beast-taming power of Feng Luo, the array power of Feng Yan, the talisman power of Feng Yan, and the weapon-refining power of Feng Che.
The hairpin possesses immense power, and upon closer inspection, one can discover that the patterns on it are entirely composed of their names. This hairpin is unique in the world, so how could they not recognize it!
"Grandfather, this really is Lan'er's hairpin!"
Feng Jun said excitedly, and Feng Cang nodded as well: "It is indeed Lan'er's."
"Could it be that Kamakura really isn't dead?"
"This doesn't make sense! He faked his death just to take the young lady away. This is too illogical."
"······"
The elders were all discussing it.
Feng Che continued, "I believe you all remember that when Kamakura fell, the time between her disappearance and Lan'er's disappearance was less than a day. Combined with what we see here, it is enough to prove that Kamakura is still alive."
"And the reason he placed the Soul-Locking Needle on Jiu'er was very likely because he wanted to use Jiu'er to take revenge on the Feng family and avenge Lan'er. After all, who in the Tianyu Continent doesn't know the Feng family's ancestral precepts? Moreover, Jiu'er's identity has already been exposed. Who among those who don't want the Feng family to have a good time wouldn't want to kill her?" Feng Che's tone became noticeably cold when he spoke of this matter.
Those present exchanged glances, their faces grave. Even Feng Qun was no exception. If what Feng Che said was true, then Kamakura's intentions were terrifying. He abandoned his fiancée, who had been with him for hundreds of years, for Feng Lan, and even faked his death to take Feng Lan away. Now he wanted to kill the purest bloodline of the Feng family.
Given that the Feng family has such an ancestral precept, Kamakura's actions are undoubtedly aimed at destroying the Feng family.
At this moment, Feng Luo thought of something and asked, "Since Lan'er was really taken away by Kamakura, why is she alone and seriously injured on the Cangming Continent?"
Feng Che's expression turned solemn: "I'm afraid we'll have to find Lan'er and Kamakura to find the answer to this matter."
“I think that since Lan’er will leave alone, it must be because she doesn’t want to be with Kamakura, plus she’s pregnant…” Feng Wu was increasingly convinced that his guess was correct.
The group fell silent. What Feng Wu said wasn't impossible; otherwise, it would be hard to explain why she would travel to the Cangming Continent alone and marry just anyone in order to have a child.
