Feng Qun's gaze fell on Ji Jiuying, then instantly shifted to Feng Lan, who was being supported by Feng Wu and Feng Che. Endless regret and guilt flashed in his eyes, and tears dripped from the corners of his eyes.
Feng Qun opened his mouth as if to say something, but was swallowed by blood. It wasn't until Feng Che fed him the Saint-level pill refined by Ji Jiuying with his spiritual power that Feng Qun was able to stop somewhat.
"Lan, Lan'er, you, you don't blame your father and brother... it's all my fault, it's grandfather who was wrong, they... love you... cough cough."
Feng Qun, panting, glanced at Ji Jiuying again: "Girl, everything I did in the past... I'm sorry to you, it's the Feng family, it's the Feng family that's wronged you. I don't ask for your forgiveness, nor do I ask you to return to the Feng family. I'll take my life as atonement..."
Cough cough cough... Blood surged up again, Feng Qun's face was all red, he glanced at Feng Cang and the Feng family, the corners of his mouth turned up slightly, and he lay in the pool of blood, his chest rising and falling gradually stopped.
"father--"
"grandfather--"
Feng Lan staggered a few steps and almost fell, but fortunately Feng Wu caught her, and tears streamed down her face uncontrollably.
"I'll kill you—how dare you lay a hand on your godmother."
A fierce glint flashed in Qingling's eyes, and the black mist surged rapidly toward Old Ancestor Feng, instantly enveloping him. Old Ancestor Feng struggled unwillingly, letting out a series of roars.
"Go to hell!"
As the sound faded, the black mist surrounding Qingling increased, all surging towards Old Ancestor Feng. The crowd could no longer see the person in the black mist, but they could hear Old Ancestor Feng's heart-wrenching screams, and in an instant, they felt a chill run down their spines.
It's unimaginable how painful it must be to be corrupted by demonic energy.
Ji Jiuying watched all this with cold eyes, her heart unmoved. To her, such a person deserved to die ten thousand times over!
The wailing gradually subsided until it was completely silent. The black mist dissipated, revealing that Old Ancestor Phoenix's body was covered in black patterns, making him look terrifying.
Suddenly, a fierce glint flashed in Ji Jiuying's eyes.
"Soul Imprisonment!"
The soul that had just flown out of the corpse and tried to escape was instantly imprisoned by Ji Jiuying's soul magic.
Old Ancestor Feng's soul struggled incessantly, but could not break free from the confinement. His heart was filled with despair. He originally wanted to escape first and then find an opportunity to possess another body, but he did not expect to be caught by this girl again.
"Trying to escape? Not so easy!"
"Netherworld Fire, go, slowly torture him, don't let him die too quickly."
A flame flew out from Ji Jiuying's palm and instantly wrapped around the soul of Old Ancestor Feng. A roar rang out. Poor Old Ancestor Feng was tormented by demonic energy in life, and his soul was burned by ghostly fire in death.
The dark clouds gradually dispersed, revealing the Feng family in a sorry state.
Those who originally had designs on Ji Ying dared not utter the slightest hint of hostility, unless they were courting death.
Meanwhile, the Lan family found Lan Mingyue in a secluded courtyard. Now, the Four Directions City is a gathering place for spiritual cultivators from all over the world. As the right and left arm of the Feng family, the Jiang family naturally has to maintain order in the Four Directions City.
Jiang Ling looked up at the fiery red figure, a sense of loss washing over him. He and she were like two parallel lines, never to intersect. He sighed softly, turned, and left.
Ji Jiuying glanced at the phoenixes on the ground, her heart unmoved.
"Jiu'er..."
Feng Lan stepped forward and hugged Ji Jiuying, bursting into tears, whether from Feng Qun's death or from the shock she had just experienced, it was unclear.
Ji Jiuying hugged her back and patted her on the back. After a while, the two separated. Although she didn't say anything, you could see a hint of unspeakable sorrow and sadness in her eyes.
She released her mental energy and slowly probed at Feng Qun's corpse, then withdrew it after a short while.
"He's beyond saving. I can still save him even if all his bones are shattered, but... his soul has already dissipated!"
He gave up on himself, using this method to atone for his sins...
After death, the soul doesn't dissipate so easily, but he was prepared to die. How could she save him? Even though she didn't say these words aloud, they should have understood this principle!
Everyone was heartbroken and wept uncontrollably upon hearing this. Feng Cang seemed to have aged considerably in an instant. He slowly stood up and said in a choked voice.
"Don't be too sad, everyone. Just as your grandfather said, consider it an atonement."
He then looked at Feng Lan and Ji Jiuying, his tone pleading: "Lan'er, Qinglan Courtyard remains the same as before. I hope you can stay with the Feng family these next few days. After your grandfather's funeral in three days, I won't say anything about where you want to go..."
The Feng family looked at Feng Lan expectantly. Now that the ridiculous ancestral precepts were gone, Lan'er could go wherever she wanted without anyone stopping her. They would treat her even better and make up for the mistakes she had made before. They would also extend their love to Ji Jiuying.
But they forgot that some mistakes can never be undone. A knife wound can be healed, but a broken heart is gone forever.
Feng Lan lowered her eyes and remained silent for a long time.
Ji Jiuying held her hand: "Mother, just like you told me, follow your heart. I will come to pick you up in three days."
Feng Lan was slightly taken aback, then nodded: "Okay—"
After leaving the Feng family, the first thing Ji Jiuying did was ask about the matter in Kamakura!
"Xiangling, Uncle Xiao, did you find anything in the Wilderness City?"
The two shook their heads, and Hei Xiangling continued, "Although we didn't find Kamakura, we did find many restraints there, and those restraints seemed to have a faint aura. Although it was very faint, I'm sure that aura was the same as the one emanating from Kamakura."
