Chapter 958: Souls!
Edited by RED
Lin Ou, First Master after the second Yuan Leader. Nothing much happened during his reign, but he died painfully, killed by the Patriarch of the Tian Ji Sect when he was only a hundred thousand years old!
Lin Feng started reading the second gravestone. He felt some compassion for Lin Ou. If Lin Feng wasnât mistaken, Lin Ou was the first person Ancestor Kong had found after reincarnating once⊠and the first leader to suffer a violent death because of Tan Zi Mingâs stupid oath.
Lin Feng sighed sadly, but he quickly forgot about it. It was the past.
Chen Cheng, Second Master. He didnât do too much, either. The Old Servant used him as a puppet because he was a weakling and afraid of everything. When he broke through to the fifth Great Supreme God layer, the Patriarch of the Tian Ji Sect destroyed him.
Shang Guan Si Yue, Third Master. Under his reign, Dao Cheng Zi and the Dao Branch grew more powerful. The Tian Branch lost power. When he broke through to the fifth Great Supreme God layer, he fought against the Patriarch of the Tian Ji Sect, but was spared. Shang Guan Si Yue came back severely injured, his life expectancy decreased to a hundred thousand years.

Lin Feng read all the gravestones. All the Masters had had horrible lives, and they had all died because of the Patriarch of the Tian Ji Sect, Lin Qiong Shengâs teacher.
Lin Feng was curious about the Patriarch of the Tian Ji Sect now. What kind of person could be so cruel? On top of that, why did he care so much about the old agreement he had with the second Yuan leader?
Lin Feng looked at the last gravestone, and was astonished because it had no name. It was empty. It didnât introduce the fourth person.
There were four Masters before me. I canât be wrong, so why is his gravestone blank?
, Lin Feng thought curiously.
âLin Feng, arenât the gravestones written by their successors each time?â Zu Ti spoke up.
Lin Feng was surprised when he heard that. He looked at the gravestones and finally nodded.
Indeed, that was an explanation. Lin Ou had written the content of Tan Zi Mingâs gravestone. Chen Cheng had written the content of Lin Ouâs gravestone.
Then, Shang Guan Si Yue had written the content of Chen Chengâs gravestone. The fourth Master had written the content of Shang Guan Si Yueâs gravestone, but what was the name of the fourth Master? Lin Feng didnât know.
However, Lin Feng knew that if he wasnât mistaken, he had to write the content of the fourth gravestone, because he was the fifth Master. He just didnât know anything about the fourth Master.
Thinking about that, Lin Feng walked back to the fourth gravestone and looked at the gigantic coffin. He looked for something written on the coffin. Usually there was something written on the front of a coffin.
Lin Feng looked for a long time and finally found an introduction of the fourth Master.
Shi Si Ming, fourth Master. Life expectancy, a hundred thousand years. He didnât break through to the fifth Great Supreme God layer before dying, but he was also killed by the Patriarch of the Tian Ji Sect. The Patriarch actually crushed him to mush.
Under Shi Si Mingâs reign, Tian Dao Yuan had started to recover, but because the Patriarch destroyed him, all that had been achieved was spoiled.
Poor guy
, thought Lin Feng. The fourth Master had been destroyed as well. All those masters had died because of the second leaderâs agreement. Shi Si Ming didnât want to participate in that stupid challenge, but he had still ended up being killed.
Lin Feng shook his head and walked back to the gravestone. Zu Ti told him what he should write, the content was similar to the other gravestones.
Lin Feng glanced to the side. There was space for another coffin, his own. When he saw that, he grinned. He would never rest in peace there!
If Lin Feng broke through to the fifth Great Supreme God layer, it would be the Patriarch of the Tian Ji Sect who would have to be careful. Hehe. He would have to pay the price for killing all those people!
Lin Feng didnât idolize the Patriarch of the Tian Ji Sect like his son. Even better, he wanted to kill the Patriarch of the Tian Ji Sect to show his son his father was stronger!
He wanted his son to think he was the best cultivator in the world!
Thinking about that, Lin Fengâs eyes filled with killing intent. Before Lin Fengâs ice-cold Qi, the whole underground palace turned ice-cold. The water froze on the walls.
Lin Feng was lost in thought for a few seconds, before turning to go through the door behind Tan Zi Mingâs coffin. Because of that fool, four people had died; Lin Feng wished he could destroy his coffin!
But he controlled his anger, and crossed the door behind Tang Zi Mingâs coffin. He was stupefied when he arrived in the other room.
There were souls here!
âSo, youâre the fifth Master?â asked the four souls at the same time. Their voices were thin, like ghosts. It was quite scary. Even Lin Fengâs hair bristled when their voices created a cold breeze.
Lin Feng studied them alertly. âYou areâŠ?â
âWe are the four Masters. Your predecessors,â replied the four souls at the same time.
Lin Feng was astonished. Even though he had already guessed, it was scary to hear it from them.
âYour souls were destroyed after you died?â asked Lin Feng curiously.
âNo. The Patriarch of the Tian Ji Sect just destroyed our bodies, but let our souls leave. He took our soul jewels, so we canât return to life,â said a handsome, humble, and modest man. He looked different from the others, slimmer too. His Qi was soft, like a scholarâs Qi.
Lin Feng looked at him and guessed it was Chen Cheng, the second Master, because he matched the description on Chen Chengâs gravestone. He looked weak and shy.
âWhy donât you leave if your souls arenât destroyed?â pressed Lin Feng curiously.
The four souls glanced at each other helplessly. They all looked at the oldest soul at the end. The old man drifted to the front.
âHello, I am Shang Guan Si Yue, the third Master,â said the old man.
Lin Feng nodded and smiled, âI am Lin Feng. Iâve been the fifth Master for a short time.â
âYou read the descriptions on our gravestones, so you know the Tian Ji Sect and Tian Dao Yuan are enemies, right?â Shang Guan Si Yue asked.
Lin Feng nodded. Then he pointed to Tan Zi Mingâs coffin, which was right outside the roomâs door. âEverything is because of him, right?â asked Lin Feng flatly.
âIndeed, because of him, we all died. We hate him so much!â cursed Shang Guan Si Yue ferociously. His eyes were filled with murder.
All the souls looked furious, even Chen Cheng!
It was normal that they hated him. If Tan Zi Ming hadnât made a stupid agreement, the Masters following him wouldnât have died.
Lin Feng had doubts though. Was Tan Zi Ming the leader of Tian Dao Yuan back in the days, or an enemy of Tian Dao Yuan? Why had he done something that harmed Tian Dao Yuan so badly?
âBy the way, you didnât reply. Why donât you leave?â asked Lin Feng, coming back to his senses.
âThe only way for us to go out would be if you broke Tan Zi Mingâs coffin,â answered Shang Guan Si Yue, looking at Tan Zi Mingâs coffin furiously.
When Lin Feng heard that, his expression hardened. Was Shang Guan Si Yue trying to use him to get his revenge?
But Zu Ti spoke to Lin Feng telepathically and told him he could trust him, so Lin Feng believed him.
Zu Ti told Lin Feng that the coffin of Tan Zi Ming was actually the seal of the underground palace. Destroying it was the only way of destroying the seal which prevented the four souls from leaving.
Lin Feng trusted Zu Ti, especially since he was so familiar with graves!
