Chapter 689: 687. Wei Family (1)

Translator: 549690339

Wei Feng closed his eyes and waited for his death, but the spear didn’t land.

When he opened his eyes again, he saw his third brother Wei Zheng standing at the side, reaching out to grab his father’s spear.

Wei Chaoran looked at Wei Zheng without saying anything.

“Father, spare second brother’s life,” Wei Zheng said bitterly.

” I am comforted by your brotherly love. Unfortunately, even if you are willing to exchange your life for yours, it will not help. The power to decide our fate is not in our hands. If there is, it is now. ” Wei Chaoran’s voice was slow. ” If I didn’t do anything, Erlang wouldn’t have been able to escape this calamity. Our entire family would have been destroyed together. Our life and death were not up to us. ”

Previously, when they heard that there might be a Netherworld God hiding in the Eastern Zhou Dynasty’s Tianfeng City, the entire Wei Clan was overjoyed. They felt that their chance to escape from the Eastern Zhou Dynasty’s surveillance and control might be coming.

When Tianfeng City was truly in chaos, the Wei family would act without hesitation.

With the appearance of the Netherworld God in the Eastern Zhou Dynasty, other enemies would definitely make a fuss about it. At that time, they would no longer have the ability to pursue the Wei family. To the Wei family, this was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

However, no one had expected that the Netherworld God, whom they had been looking forward to, would actually come from their Wei Clan. Moreover, he was one of the core members of the Wei Clan and had such a close relationship with Wei Chaoran, Wei Ling, and Wei Zheng.

When Wei Chaoran first heard the news, he felt as if he had been struck by lightning and almost fainted in Tianfeng City.

He knew that the greatest achievement in his life was not his cultivation to his current realm, but the Wei Clan’s flourishing development to this day.

His next ambition was to make the Wei Clan stronger.

In the end, he was now walking on a dead end.

Now that they had betrayed the Eastern Zhou Dynasty, none of the forces that might have accepted them in the past would take care of them. In fact, they would be even crueler and encircle them.

The Azure Ox Temple, the Desolate Mountains, the western paradise, the Heavenly Lake of the Extreme North, the Western Qin Empire and even the Ancient Gods Clan were all like this.

Wei Chaoran had no hope for the sloppy Daoist that he had been interacting with before. Regardless of whether he was related to the Qingwei Realm or not, it was impossible for him to find someone to help them sneak into the Qingwei Realm.

The Qingwei Realm would also kill the Netherworld God.

It was the same everywhere. The Netherworld God was the public enemy.

The world was so big that there was no place for Wei Feng to stay. As a result, the Wei family was the same.

Wei Zheng stood in front of Wei Feng and said sincerely to his father, Wei Chaoran,”Demon Empress! The Demon Emperor is the only successor of the Supreme Martial Artist. If he is willing to step forward and plead for Second Brother, there might be a chance.”

“However, why would the Demon Emperor risk angering the Supreme Martial Artist to plead for mercy for us?” Wei Chaoran smiled bitterly. If we were the four Supreme Martial Artists of the same sect, perhaps the Demon Emperor would consider it, but how could it be so easy to break through the Life and Death Hidden Latch?”

” Father, ” Wei Ling said, ” I remember you mentioning that the Supreme One’s decree regarding the Netherworld God was to ‘capture anyone you see’ and not ‘kill anyone you see.’ Am I right? ”

Wei Chaoran was slightly moved.

“If that’s the case, Second Brother should obediently go and see the Supreme Martial Artist and beg for his forgiveness. Perhaps there might be a chance of survival.”  Wei Ling said in a deep voice, ” The Demon Emperor is indeed a key figure. Let’s not ask him to intercede for us. Without him, how could we meet the Supreme Martial Artist? ”

How can we move Chen Luoyang? ” Wei Chaoran was still frowning.

Wei Ling shook his head. ” Let’s see him first. Let’s see what price he will offer. We’ll agree to all of them. If he refuses…” Then there’s no other way.”

The Wei family’s eldest son’s gaze fell on his younger brother when he finished speaking.

Wei Feng nodded. ” I’ve already disregarded life and death. If there’s a need, I can do it anytime. As long as I can save everyone. ”

Wei Chaoran finally put away his spear. ” There’s no time to lose. Let’s go now. ”

Wei Ling nodded. ” You guys go first. I’ll be there soon. ”

He looked at the distant horizon.

Over there, a vast expanse of rain clouds appeared, and half of the sky instantly darkened.

Everyone from the Wei family felt their hearts sink.

The previous camouflage did not fool “Rain Master” Cheng Shuzhi in the end. The other party immediately discovered their tracks and chased after them.

“I’ll be there soon.” Wei Ling repeated and took the initiative to welcome the rain clouds.

Wei Zheng wanted to say something but stopped. Wei Feng’s eyes revealed a pained expression.

Right now, even if the Wei family put righteousness above kinship and Wei Feng was dead, the people of the Eastern Zhou Dynasty would definitely not let these traitors off.

If they wanted to escape, they could only try their best and think of a way.

Wei Chaoran didn’t say anything more. He gathered his clansmen and left immediately without any delay.

The more time he wasted, the greater the risk Wei Ling would take.

The people from Eastern Zhou who came this time were not Xu Qizhen, the King of Fengning, Xu Mo, the King of Qingjiang, or Hu Gang, the Great General of Zhenyuan.

If it was these people, the Wei father and son could totally defeat them if they worked together.

Excluding the Empress of the Eastern Zhou Dynasty, the Wei family was now the strongest family in the Eastern Zhou Dynasty that suppressed the Xu family of the imperial family.

However, the person who came was “Rain Master” Cheng Shuzhi, which was another matter.

Just like the Empress, she was an opponent that all the Wei family’s experts could not defeat.

At the moment, they could escape as many as they could.

The Wei family left, leaving only Wei Ling behind.

Rain clouds soon covered the entire area.

Wei Ling did not use his energy to avoid the rain and allowed the downpour to instantly wet his clothes.

He only focused on looking at Uncle Cheng’s figure in the air.

“Cough cough…” Uncle Cheng’s hand kept pounding his sore shoulder.”With your cultivation and strength, if you leave separately from the Wei family’s main force, I’m not 100% confident that I can keep you.”

“Mr. Cheng, please be magnanimous.” Wei Ling’s expression remained calm.

“In the current situation, I have no choice but to act cautiously. Don’t blame me for being rude.” As Uncle Cheng spoke, the downpour suddenly changed. Every drop of rain seemed to have turned into a sharp blade that fell from the sky.

Meanwhile, Wei Ling, who had been silently soaking in the rain, also erupted with an astonishing force. Wind and clouds gathered to block the rain from above.

His spear was like a dragon, and his momentum was like a fierce tiger. It stirred up endless wind and clouds as he attacked Uncle Cheng.

Uncle Cheng held an umbrella in his hand as he fought with Wei Ling.

The number one person of the Eastern Zhou Dynasty, who was only below the Empress, was engaged in an intense battle with the number one expert of the Wei Clan.

Wei Chaoran didn’t dare to look back at the battle.

“The rain has stopped over there!” A member of the Wei family in the crowd shouted happily.

Wei Chaoran’s expression changed drastically when he heard this. He turned around and saw that although the clouds were still dark, there was no rain.

Those who did not have enough knowledge would think that Wei Ling had the upper hand and defeated “Rain Master” Cheng Shuzhi.

However, Wei Chaoran knew that it was the Rain Master who had finally opened his broken paper umbrella.

The umbrella opened and the rain stopped.

Cheng Shuzhi, who had opened the umbrella, was the truly terrifying top three Martial Saints of the mortal world. He had only just unleashed his peak strength.

Wei Chaoran couldn’t bear to look back and hurriedly led his clansmen on their way.

Their destination was the territory ruled by the Ancient Gods Clan.

However, while they were still on the road, reality gave the Wei family a head-on blow.

Previously, they had been busy fleeing for their lives, so some channels of information had been cut off. There were many things that they did not understand. Now that they had re-established information channels, the first piece of news was enough to make them collapse.

After the battle at the Setting Sun Mountain, Demon Emperor Chen Luoyang had disappeared.

Rumor had it that after his battle with Ye Tian Mo, he had won, but in the end, he had suffered heavy losses.

The whereabouts of the otherworldly demons were widely discussed, and Demon Emperor Chen Luoyang and Empress Xu Ruotong were both heavily injured. They were currently racing against time to recuperate.

Whoever was the first to settle down would most likely ascend to the throne of the overlord of the mortal world.

However, this was also the time when they were at their weakest.

The Demon Empress had risen so fiercely that everyone had seen it and was wary of her. Hence, everyone had gone crazy and headed toward Chen Luoyang, but they had gained nothing.

To Chen Mou, it was naturally best if no one could find him.

However, to the Wei family, it was undoubtedly a devastating news.

They had to find Chen Luoyang himself.

In the current situation and the uniqueness of the Netherworld God, other than Chen Luoyang himself, no one else could make the decision.

Regardless of whether it was the Ancient Gods Clan, Yan Ranshan, or the Black Water Absolute Palace, no one dared to take in the Wei Clan. Chen Luoyang had to make the decision himself.

Just as everyone in the Wei family was panicking, someone took the initiative to look for them.

Looking at the sloppy Daoist in front of him, Wei Chaoran was rather surprised. “”You … Who do you represent?”

“Where do you think I’m from, Fellow Daoist?” the sloppy Daoist asked with a smile.

“Qingwei Realm,” Wei Chaoran replied without hesitation.

“Unfortunately, you guessed wrong.” The smile on Chen Luoyang’s Daoist Banhai clone’s lips deepened as he pointed at the sky.

The Wei family members immediately looked over.

Wei Chaoran had already regained his composure.” It is not my wish to transform into a Netherworld God. I pray every day, hoping that I can repent and ask for forgiveness from the Supreme Being. ”

Taoist Banhai smiled. ” The Supreme One once said that the God of the Underworld would capture anyone who dares to resist and kill them without mercy. According to what you said just now, your son will obediently surrender and not resist? ”

Wei Chaoran nodded. ” We, father and son, had planned to meet the Demon Empress. We hope that the Demon Empress can express her feelings to the Supreme One. We hope that you can give us a chance to apologize. ”

As he spoke, he sized up Daoist Banhai.

“That would be for the best. However, the Demon Emperor is currently recuperating in seclusion. I don’t know where he is or when he will come out.” Daoist Banhai replied.

” That’s right. ” Wei Chaoran exhaled slowly. ” I wonder if you have any pointers? ”

Clearly, he still did not fully trust the sloppy Daoist before him.

The Daoist didn’t seem to care about this. Instead, he bowed to the sky.”The Supreme One is magnanimous. If the Xian father and son are truly sincere, perhaps the Supreme One will pity them and give you a chance.”

Wei Chaoran’s heart skipped a beat, and he immediately led Wei Feng and Wei Zheng to kneel and pray, imploring the Supreme Martial Artist to show mercy.

Then, right before his eyes, Wei Feng suddenly disappeared without any warning.

Wei Chaoran looked at Taoist Banhai, who nodded slowly.”Supreme One, please show mercy. I hope your son can seize this opportunity to meet you.”

“Thank you, Supreme One, for your mercy. Thank you, Daoist Priest, for your guidance.” Wei Chaoran let out a long breath.

“In addition, I’ve also heard about your eldest son, Fellow Daoist Wei Lingwei. My condolences.” Daoist Banhai continued.

Wei Chaoran closed his eyes and remained silent.
