The Supreme Martial Expert of the Female CEO

Chapter 2147: Chapter 2144: Furious Rebuke

Ling Feng stepped forward and said calmly, "You have two choices: continue to lament here or go with me to rescue Xiao Xi?"

"It’s you? It’s all because of you!" At this moment, Elder Xiong rushed up, his face covered in blood, angrily shouting, "I’m going to kill you, Outsider. Without you, how could we have been attacked by the Demon Emperor’s people?"

"That’s right, it’s his fault. He brought misfortune upon us. Kill him, avenge the Descendant of the Empress!"

"This man must die to quell our anger! Kill him, kill him!"

...

The appearance of Ling Feng had ignited the fury of the Empress’s Descendants. In their eyes, it was this Outsider Ling Feng who had brought them misfortune. For so many years, their hidden base had never been discovered. Why did the enemy appear the moment Ling Feng arrived?

Most importantly, because of this, the Descendant of the Empress was captured by the Demon Emperor. Everything they had done, all they had waited for, turned into nothing.

Looking at the crowd clamoring to run up, Ling Feng sneered and said, "If it weren’t for considering the millennia of effort you’ve spent waiting for Xiao Xi, I would have already cut off your heads. You claim to be Descendants, but in reality, you are just a bunch of cowards!"

"Cowards? What right do you have to call us cowards? Do you know how long we’ve been waiting? Do you know how we’ve lived through these tens of thousands of years?" Old Master Ye said angrily.

Ling Feng cast a calm glance at him, "Do you think waiting tens of thousands of years is something to be proud of? Do you think suffering through these years is enough? What a joke, a complete joke! You have no idea, every word, every action of yours has been observed by the Void Demon Emperor!"

"Xiao Xi stood up for you, she didn’t want to leave with me willingly, but what about you? She was captured, and instead of thinking about actively rescuing her, you’re here wallowing in self-pity. In your hearts, you don’t really have her. What you care about is only yourselves!"

Ling Feng sneered and said, "Maybe at first, you indeed had pure faith and persistence, but now... you have unconsciously changed! I even think... what Xiao Xi did for you isn’t worth it at all!"

After speaking, Ling Feng turned around and said coldly, "If you want to save Xiao Xi, then come with me..."

"Save? With what means?" Elder Xiong shouted with a hint of despair, "The Descendant of the Empress was captured and taken to the Void Temple, the most powerful place in the Void Sanctuary, and also the residence of the Void Demon Emperor. We will die on the way before we even reach there!"

Ling Feng snorted, "Then just stay here!"

Just as Ling Feng was about to leave, Elder Yu said, "Wait, young friend, I’ll go with you!"

"Aren’t you afraid of death?" Ling Feng smiled.

Elder Yu said calmly, "I died with the Empress tens of thousands of years ago. Now, I have only one thought, which is to assist the Descendant of the Empress. Without her, I have no reason to continue living!"

"Moreover... if even you are willing to gamble everything, isn’t our persistence over the years worth more than yours?" Elder Yu said calmly, "Besides, you, an Outsider, know nothing about the Shrine; going there means certain death!"

Ling Feng smiled, "Then let’s go!"

"I’ll go too!" At this moment, Elder Ying stepped forward, "As one of the Five Elders, the capture of the Descendant of the Empress is my inexcusable responsibility!"

"I’ll go too. I’m just an old man with bones, what does it matter if I die?" Old Master Ye gritted his teeth and said.

"In that case, how could my presence, Old Master Feng, be missing?"

...

Ling Feng looked at everyone, the coldness in his eyes disappeared, and he smiled, "Senior fellows, it’s enough that you have the heart. For now, you should gather your forces and preserve your strength for Xiao Xi. As for Xiao Xi... Elder Yu and I will bring her back!"

It’s not that Ling Feng doesn’t want to take everyone, but too many people would make them too much of a target. They are there to rescue Xiao Xi, not to conquer the Shrine!

Moreover, from Elder Yu, Ling Feng can obtain enough information for a covert operation to rescue Xiao Xi.

At this moment, in the Void Temple, Xiao Xi was brought before a middle-aged man.

"The resemblance is remarkable!" The middle-aged man looked at Xiao Xi, sighed, and said, "It’s truly amazing, you and your mother are like carbon copies!"

Xiao Xi cautiously glanced at the middle-aged man. Although he was very handsome and had a warm smile, she always felt that this man was like a beast ready to devour.

"Are you... the one who killed my mother?" Xiao Xi summoned up her courage and asked.

The middle-aged man raised an eyebrow, "Killed your mother? Is that how you talk to your father?"

"Father? You’re my father?" Xiao Xi was astonished.

The middle-aged man nodded, "I am your father, and I am also the Void Demon Emperor! I know, you must have heard some twisted stories from that group of remnants, but I can tell you that what you know is distorted, and I am the only one who can tell you the truth!"

Xiao Xi’s mouth fell open; she felt a little lost as to what she should do. Was the Void Demon Emperor her father? Then why did she end up on the Phantom Demon Continent if he hadn’t harmed her mother?

"Then can you tell me the truth?" Xiao Xi took a deep breath and said seriously, "I won’t trust you easily, but I have my own judgment! What did you do to my mother back then?"

The Void Demon Emperor waved his hand, and Xiao Xi was already before him.

"Sit down, this matter requires a slow explanation!" The Void Demon Emperor looked at Xiao Xi’s face, with a hint of nostalgia, and said, "I never thought you would appear here again. Is this perhaps the destiny of your Empress’s lineage? Will all my efforts over the years be in vain?"

Xiao Xi couldn’t understand the expression on the Void Demon Emperor’s face, but he quickly composed himself, "This story starts with the mission of the Empress’s lineage!"

"You should know that the Empress’s lineage is burdened with the duty of assessing whether Outsiders can successfully traverse the Void Path," the Void Demon Emperor said calmly, "Moreover, the Empress’s lineage can control the Void Lock; the bloodline activates the Void Lock, granting immensely powerful strength."

"I admit, it was I who orchestrated the Space Storm and acted in the midst of it to protect the Empress, successfully capturing her heart. My target was the Void Lock, the immense power within it."
