Let's go back to when Lu Zhantian was investigating the deaths of more than a hundred cultivators in the suburbs of Qingyang City.
When Lu Zhantian asked Shen Zhao to examine the bodies, he found that everyone's faces were slashed to pieces, and their deaths were truly gruesome.
Finally, on a body that had not yet been destroyed, it was discovered that the person's face had been skinned alive in an extremely cruel manner.
"Young Master Shen, look what's going on here. Why is the murderer so brutal?"
"Under normal circumstances, there are two possibilities for someone to go to such great lengths to use such cruel and bloody methods."
Which two?
"The first possibility is that the murderer was extremely ugly and suffered ridicule and bullying since childhood, which led to his twisted mind and inferiority complex, thus causing him to commit such a heinous act."
"What about the second one?"
"Another possibility is the method of adoption used by heretical practitioners."
"The method to adopt? What does that have to do with disfiguring people?"
"The method of adoption can improve cultivation, but this is based on the premise that both parties have physical intimacy and a close friendship like that of Guan Zhong and Bao Shuya. The only difference between this and dual cultivation is that it is merely wishful thinking."
However, there is another method: stealing someone's face, absorbing their cultivation, and then replacing it with a new face. Compared to the former, the latter is actually more vicious.
"So that's how it is."
"Therefore, combining the above two points, it can be basically concluded that the murderer was very ugly, he wanted to change his appearance, and then used such cruel means to achieve his goal."
From that day on, Shen Zhao began to suspect that Lin Feng's exquisitely beautiful face might be related to the murder case.
If so, then his true colors should be revealed in the most appropriate setting.
Right now, there is no scene more suitable for Shen Zhao than this.
Lin Feng's eyes were filled with fear as he stammered, "What are you talking about? What true face? I don't understand!"
Confused, Ning Ruoxue immediately said, "Yes, what do you mean by Ah Feng's true colors? Just say what you want to say!"
Shen Zhao looked at Lin Feng with amusement and asked jokingly, "Are you going to peel off this mask yourself, or do I have to do it for you?"
Lin Feng's back was soaked with sweat, and the panic in his eyes could hardly be concealed.
That guy is a devil, he's a devil.
How did he know this most important secret?
No, I must not reveal my true self to the public, or everything will be over!
However, Shen Zhao had already grown impatient and leaped onto the platform.
Lin Feng was so frightened that he staggered and collapsed to the ground, his face now filled with unconcealed terror.
"Don't come any closer! Don't come any closer!"
As Shen Zhao pressed closer and closer, Lin Feng retreated continuously, screaming wildly in his heart.
Ning Ruoxue stepped in front of Shen Zhao and angrily shouted, "What exactly do you want to do to A-Feng? If you have the guts, come at me!"
"To prove your unwavering love, Miss Ning, please step aside for a moment!"
With that, he pushed Ning Ruoxue aside and smiled slightly at Lin Feng...
The sinister laughter sent a chill down Lin Feng's spine, making him feel as if he had fallen into an ice cave.
As Shen Zhao was about to walk in front of him, the overwhelming fear and suffocation caused Lin Feng's memories of his past life to overlap with those of this life, leaving his mind in a complete state of confusion.
He suddenly knelt down in front of Shen Zhao, tears streaming down his face, and cried out, "Shen Zhao, I was wrong, please forgive me, it's all my fault!"
I shouldn't have disturbed your and Xiyan's lives, I shouldn't have interfered in your relationship. I was really wrong, please forgive me this time.
Shen Zhao paused, a hint of surprise appearing in his eyes.
Good grief, you were reborn too, huh?
It's truly a blessing from heaven!
Now that there's no more burden in my heart, we can hurt each other to the death.
The people present were unaware of the situation and assumed that Lin Feng and Shen Zhao had a grudge.
Only Mu Qiuyao understood that Lin Feng, like herself and Shen Zhao, had also been reborn.
The other person who understood was Yu Xiyan.
She was completely stunned.
"Lin Feng, he was reborn too?"
Lin Feng knelt at Shen Zhao's feet like a child who had made a mistake, kowtowing repeatedly to admit his wrongdoing.
"General, Your Highness, Your Excellency, I am entirely at fault. Please, have mercy on me this time!"
I know it was my fault. I shouldn't have kept speaking ill of you in front of Xiyan, and I especially shouldn't have encouraged her to harm you. I know I was wrong. Please have pity on me and don't ruin me!
His tearful pleas caused an uproar in the audience.
Liang Hao asked, puzzled, "What's going on here? Why can't I understand a single word?"
Xu Ning: "Maybe he's been scared into a daze by Brother Shen's imposing presence, and his ramblings are incomprehensible to anyone!"
Dugu Xin: "Damn it, is this guy really that weak? I thought he was a very capable and ruthless person, but I didn't expect him to cry in public. He's not even as good as a woman."
Shen Zhao leaned down and looked at Lin Feng quietly. After a long while, she slowly asked, "What are you saying? Why can't I understand a word? Don't be nervous, come on, stand up and talk."
"No, please don't come any closer!"
Lin Feng was so frightened that he quickly dodged away, scrambling and rolling towards the Emperor's Steps.
"Ah Feng!"
Ning Ruoxue exclaimed in surprise and turned to question Shen Zhao: "What exactly did you do to A-Feng?"
Shen Zhao shrugged: "You should have seen it just now. I didn't do anything. Don't pin the blame on me. I'm still waiting to drink your wedding wine."
Ning Ruoxue ignored him and quickly walked down the imperial steps towards Lin Feng.
Lin Feng, like a startled rabbit, wriggled and stumbled his way into the crowd.
