The Sacred Ruins

Chapter 316: The Thunderous Ancient Temple

Panda Novel

The outside world was restless amidst all the ice and snow. On the contrary, it was so hot that everyone was dumbfounded. That was because countless people were in heated debate about a single topic.

Had Chu Feng been crippled or not?

Many people insisted that there was absolutely no problem with him and that he was pretending.

"Chu Feng, you're so immoral that you're fuming. How many of our marine race have you harmed to death? How many of us have died carelessly in your hands?"

The marine race had erupted in anger—large numbers of marine race members had gathered near the Changjiang inlet. They were practically boiling over.

Some of the marine race members on the continent were roaring in anger. They listed Chu Feng's various evils, that he was wicked beyond redemption and that he should be executed 10,000 times for his crimes.

Some of the marine race people were so furious that they had almost gone mad. They had never encountered such a shameless person. Saying that he was crippled and luring enemies in to kill them when he was clearly even sturdier than a flood dragon.

This had happened time after time. It was simply burying mines for the marine race to jump in. This was simply too deliberate.

"This time, the marine race is quite miserable. 18 of the king level entities died and among them, four were experts with six severed shackles. Add that to the Bronze Tiger, marine human and the odd fish from before. Within the few days Chu Feng was traveling to the West, he had killed of a major marine race power!"

Everyone in the outside world was debating this matter. Most felt that Chu Feng was too good at pretending and had cheated everyone.

Back at Shuntian, the Hollow Jade Temple Master was rubbing his temples. He was feeling a headache. The Eight Visions Temple Master was also speechless. This was simply too unusual.

According to the heavenly master's notes, any living being invaded by this black substance would be completely crippled.

"Chu Feng's pretense was too good. In the end, he dealt with the marine race experts cleanly as if he was cutting vegetables. I think the marine race would be absolutely furious."

Even the White Crane of the Mount Shu Sword Palace teased, "As expected of someone who had acted in 'Demon Ox the Great Sage'. The acting this time was truly superb. Even I was tricked."

"Chu Feng, you're shameless. Come fight us honestly, you shameless and evil man. How can this count as being capable?!"

The marine race issued challenges. Their losses were simply too great—the relatives of the victims were all trembling in fury.

Naturally, those who were so stifled to the point of steaming from the seven orifices were the marine race organizers, those in charge of obtaining information and dispatching marine race agents ashore.

They felt they had been played really bad. Their losses were so heavy that they were unable to report back to the powerhouses in the depths of the sea. All of them were so enraged that they wanted to swallow Chu Feng whole.

"He clearly has the strength of a top-grade expert but he just has to play such dirty tricks. I really want to slash him tens of thousands of times!" a marine race member expressed his anger.

Some people addressed Chu Feng and challenged him to a battle at the sea-side. They wanted to engage in a fair life and death duel.

Those who were here to watch the liveliness weren't afraid of making things bigger and began to create a ruckus. Naturally, there were more people jeering the marine race, saying that they could absolutely head to Kunlun for a showdown.

Chu Feng stood out in a timely fashion. He felt that he was innocent and thus made an announcement on his long-forgotten social media platform.

"You're all wrongly accusing the good person. I was truly forced to engage in a final battle."

Saying such things at this juncture with an innocent tone irked the marine race unbearably. All of them wanted nothing more than to bite him to death.

Wrong accusation? Even the experts of the continent were dumbfounded. Can't he speak more decently?

"Chu Feng, we're irreconcilable! Wait till our marine race obtains the inheritance from the Rubik's cube. Our powerhouses will definitely come ashore to kill you!"

"Demon King Chu, an executioner like you has the nerve to say you were wrongly accused. Can you be more shameless? How many times have you said it was your final battle?"

The marine race cursed, swore and berated in anger but they couldn't get rid of the anger in their hearts. They had never seen anyone else with a face so thick that they could pretend to be helpless after harming others.

"I feel that I really can't fight anymore. This should really be a final battle," Chu Feng replied in all due seriousness.

"Damn your grandfather!" the marine race responded with a flurry of curses. They would never believe him no matter what he said.

Many people on the continent were also criticizing in silence. This was simply too shameless—wouldn't this anger the marine race to death?

The fragrance of meat hung in the air on Mount Kunlun. Everyone, from great demons to minor demons, was gorging themselves on the endless supply of seafood and drinking aged wine. All of them were quite at ease.

Within the room, Chu Feng and the Snow Leopard King were cooking seafood hotpot and chatting. "They refuse to believe me despite speaking the truth. Look, I even told the marine race the truth but they responded with curses. I guess they won't dare to come back again."

The Snow Leopard King's expression was somewhat odd. Not to mention outsiders, even the group of minor demons from Kunlun and himself were reluctant to believe Chu Feng's body was problematic.

"Let it be. The marine race won't fall for this trick again. You also shouldn't keep tricking them. Otherwise, there'll be a big problem if they ask those ferocious people like the Elder Dragon King of the southern sea to come out in their desperation."

Chu Feng was speechless. When did the people around him stop believing him?

In truth, he soon received calls from his parents, the Wudang Grandmaster, the Clairvoyant, etc. They all scolded him for pretending so well and that their concerns had been wasted.

Chu Feng was flabbergasted and couldn't help but cry out loudly—he had been speaking the truth all this time!

"Who would believe you?!" Jiang Luoshen contacted him especially and was looking down on him.

Mount Kunlun was now completely silent as no outsiders dared come to investigate.

At first, when news of the old llama's group heading to the ancient temple was leaked, some people felt something big was about to happen to Kunlun and that it might even change owners. Now it seemed that the mountain was still invulnerable to attacks.

Even if the host of great demons from Kulun didn't return, no one would dare provoke Kunlun with Chu Feng holding the fort!

In truth, there were many rumors in the outside world saying that the old llama, the Mastiff King and the others had encountered an accident and had died in the Himalayas. That was because they had gone for over 20 days without returning!

Actually, Chu Feng was also anxious. He was worried that Yellow Ox and the others would have encountered problems.

"This won't do. I should move out and go take a look. Perhaps I can help them out!" He wanted to rush to the ancient temple in the Himalayas.

After studying the Domain Heavenly Book in the ice and snow, he had completely branded all those unintelligible characters into his memory.

Following which, he roamed around Mount Kunlun and, borrowing the various domains in this place, comprehended the various diagrams depicted in the mysterious book.

In truth, he had passed the previous twenty days doing all this and was completely absorbed. He was able to gain some insight into the study of domains and had thoroughly studied many symbols.

At this time, he had arrived at Hell's Gate wherein lay a domain that could launch lightning attacks. He began to measure the ground inch by inch, studying everything in detail once again.

That was because he wanted to go and rescue Yellow Ox's group. That place was extremely special and likely related to lightning symbols—there were many domains there and the sound of thunder continuously poured into one's ears.

That was why Chu Feng had to analyze the Hell's Gate on Mount Kunlun.

This place gave him great enlightenment. It was, after all, a readily available domain and could be studied in reverse.

He had found several odd symbols in the area, under the rocks and in the earth.

At the same time, there was a bronze pillar here that was wrapped in chains. It could be lowered into the depths of the earth in order to change the magnitude of geomagnetism and cause the lightning to become extremely frightening.

Chu Feng had studied this bronze pillar hundreds if not thousands of times and more or less studied its patterns in detail.

The next day, Chu Feng decided to set out immediately as this matter couldn't be delayed. Yellow Ox, Mastiff King, and the others had gone for so many days. It seemed they really have encountered some problem.

Chu Feng's strength right now was fluctuating wildly and thus wasn't suitable to head into dangerous grounds. However, he had no choice right now. He was too anxious and wanted to rescue people.

At the same time, what he needed to depend on most this time were his skills in the field of domains and not combat power. This was a brand new challenge for him, one in which he didn't have much confidence.

"Snow Leopard King, accompany me." Chu Feng had already discussed this matter with the Snow Leopard King. The two would go together.

"Your body is really…" The Snow Leopard King was only convinced later on that Chu Feng's body was problematic.

"No matter. Let's go!"

After they left, Mount Kunlun was completely empty. However, Chu Feng had established his might here and killed so many marine race experts. No one would dare touch this place within a short time.

To the outsiders, Chu Feng was a cheat—he was there with an open sack, waiting for the enemies to come in.

This time, Chu Feng and the Snow Leopard King left in great secrecy. They were afraid that some unforeseen accident might occur if the news was leaked.

The Snow Leopard King revealed his true form and almost flew across the ice and snow. He crossed over mountains and ridges as if he was crossing level ground. He was born here and understand the topography all too well. He could even run with his eyes closed.

After the great changes, the distance between Kunlun and the Himalayas grew quite a bit. There were countless great mountains in between and the snowy land was difficult to travel on. However, the Snow Leopard King was able to arrive by nightfall.

If it was any other beast traveling in such weather, they would probably fall into icy holes and cliffs repeatedly.

The Snow Leopard King, however, was simply too familiar with the lay of the land and as such everything went smoothly.

The Snow Leopard King spread open a beast skin on which were labels left behind by the Kunlun beast kings. The host of great demons had dispatched people to thoroughly scout this area well before they made their move.

The Himalayan Mountains were imposing, vigorous and gigantic. The world's highest peak used to be here so its current state was almost unfathomable.

After the upheavals, this area was suffused by icy mist and snow mountains pierced into the sky. Their summits were not visible from ground level as if they were in outer space.

"It should be around here." The Snow Leopard King had transformed into human form. He was somewhat worried about Chu Feng's body and asked him if he needed a rest.

"No need."

Chu Feng shook his head. He personally drew his bow and shot an arrow into the snowy mountains. This was a very particular method—he circulated the Thunderous Breathing Technique, causing his bow and arrow to resonate. The sound of thunder reverberated as the projectile flew out.

Boom!

The sound of thunder responded from within the mountain range. A great avalanche occurred, and at the same time, the forceful and dignified sound of a bell was heard.

Chu Feng and the Snow Leopard King saw a Buddhist light. This bright light spread out from within the mountain range towards the night sky.

Dong…

The bell rang out like with a tone of revelation and cleansed the mind. The sound reverberated throughout the area as Buddhist lights enveloped the whole snowy mountain.

Very soon, they arrived and saw an ancient temple buried beneath the ice and snow. However, a corner of it was revealed after being bathed in Buddhist light, the signs of vicissitude evident upon it. They also saw the corner of a bronze tablet.

Dong…

At this point, the bell tolled once again. This caused Chu Feng's whole body to tremble—his bones and joints crackled as if he was being purified.

With flowing radiance and spreading Buddhist lights, everything in this place was astonishing.
