Martial God Asura

Chapter 6699: Netherworld Master

“Hold on. You two can have your touching reunion later. Answer my question first. Dongfang Hansong, what’s with the talk about the Netherworld Master and calling me young master?” Chu Feng asked.

He was inclined to believe that Chen Hui was indeed Dongfang Hansong’s son, but he was more curious about what the latter was going on about.

Dongfang Hansong stood up and took out two bloodline auras that fused impeccably together. Chu Feng sensed incredible familiarity from the two bloodline auras.

“It’s all thanks to Lord Netherworld Master that our Netherworld Sect enjoys its current prosperity, but so far, no one knows about Lord Netherworld Master’s true identity.

“Cang Li had the fortune of seeing his side profile, and he says that you bear a striking resemblance to him. Moreover, your Netherworld Embryo is unusually strong, and you have shown exceptional control over the sacred item. Considering that, Lord Cang Li suspected that you are Lord Netherworld Master’s descendant.

“To verify that, Lord Cang Li suffered a huge backlash to extract a sliver of Lord Netherworld Master’s bloodline aura from his body. He ordered me to head to your hometown, the Great Chiliocosm Upper Realm, to seek your grandfather’s bloodline aura to see if the two are the same.

“And I have verified that your missing grandfather, Chu Hanxian, is the very same Lord Netherworld Master who ushered in an age of prosperity for our Netherworld Sect,” Dongfang Hansong declared.

This news came as a huge blow to the trio present.

“My grandfather... is the Netherworld Master?”

Chu Feng was shocked, but he quickly recalled the words from that mysterious old man he had met back then, and everything seemed to click.

He had once stumbled into an enigmatic place and met a mysterious old man who had survived from the Ancient Era. For some reason, that old man addressed Chu Feng as young master[1].

From the old man, he learned some things about his grandfather.

Chu Hanxian had been an incredible prodigy who alarmed the Ancestral Martial Starfield’s powerhouse, the Wuming Clan. The Wuming Clan would not permit anyone to threaten their position, so they sent their men to assassinate Chu Hanxian.

Chu Hanxian survived the ordeal, but he wasn’t strong enough to deal with the Wuming Clan then. So, he left the Ancestral Martial Starfield to escape the Wuming Clan’s surveillance, with the intention to return and usher his clan to prosperity once he became stronger.

By a stroke of coincidence, Chu Hanxian stumbled into that enigmatic place and spent many years there—possibly an entire nine thousand years. It was only a thousand years ago that his grandfather finally left that enigmatic place.

However, he didn’t return to the Chu Heavenly Clan.

The mysterious old man said that his grandfather had something he needed to do. He had assured Chu Feng that his grandfather was not a bad person, and that there must be a good reason if he had to do something bad.

In hindsight, the mysterious old man was probably referring to the Netherworld Sect.

...

“Lord Netherworld Marshal, is Chu Feng truly Lord Netherworld Master’s son?” Chen Hui asked incredulously. He was even more shocked than Chu Feng.

“Yes, Lord Netherworld Master is the Chu Heavenly Clan’s Chu Hanxian, Chu Feng’s grandfather. Chu Feng is Lord Netherworld Master’s grandson, making him our Netherworld Sect’s young master.

“Our Netherworld Sect should have welcomed him as our leader, but I had no choice but to let Lord Netherworld Master down for your sake, Hui’er. I want you to become the next Netherworld Master.

“The tempering you have done is for this moment. This formation will strip Chu Feng of his Netherworld Embryo’s energy. As long as you obtain that, you’ll become our Netherworld Sect’s future. You can even surpass Lord Netherworld Master.

“Hui’er, this is not the time for unnecessary compassion. Devour Chu Feng’s energy right now! He might only be a soul, but you should be able to make the best out of it after your tempering earlier,” Dongfang Hansong said.

“I cannot do that, Lord Netherworld Marshal. If not for Lord Netherworld Master, there wouldn’t be today’s Netherworld Sect. Isn’t that what you taught me from a young age? How can we treat Lord Netherworld Master’s grandson like that?” Chen Hui turned down the offer.

He even got out of the blood pool.

Pah!

Dongfang Hansong gave Chen Hui a tight slap.

“You useless thing! Why do I have such a useless son? Do you know how much I have sacrificed for you? I braved hell together with Lord Netherworld Master! Do you think it doesn’t pain me to do this? Not to mention Lord Yun Ao as well—he has watched over not just you but me as well. I had to kill him to hide Chu Feng’s identity.

“Why do you think I did all that? It’s all for your sake!” Dongfang Hansong roared in anger.

But Chen Hui wasn’t moved in the least. If anything, he was infuriated.

“You... killed Lord Yun Ao?” Chen Hui glared at Dongfang Hansong.

Dongfang Hansong belatedly realized that he had misspoken, for Chen Hui shared a deep bond with Yun Ao. He should have never revealed that he had murdered Yun Ao.

“Hui’er, I’m doing this for you,” Dongfang Hansong explained.

Chen Hui’s breathing became ragged, and he couldn’t even conceal his wrath. He slowly lowered his head.

Dongfang Hansong tried to console him, but Chen Hui reached into his Cosmos Sack and pulled out a talisman paper. He activated the talisman paper, which imbued him with a powerful surge of energy that greatly raised his movement speed.

Then, Chen Hui dashed for the palace’s entrance.

Boom!

Before Chen Hui could escape, he abruptly collapsed to the floor in pain.

Dongfang Hansong had crushed him with his oppressive might. The sheer disparity in their cultivation made it impossible for Chen Hui to escape under Dongfang Hansong’s watch, no matter what tricks he pulled.

“Hui’er, don’t you understand? I did it all for you!” Dongfang Hansong slowly walked toward Chen Hui.
