Chapter 143: Anger and Hate

Chen Mei’s face paled at Wei Rong’s suggestion, anxiety washing over her like a crashing wave.

Her hands trembled as she clenched them into fists, her heart pounding wildly in her chest.

It was clear she completely disagreed with the idea.

Without hesitation, she spun around and rushed back to Grandma Qing, gripping the elderly woman’s arm tightly.

"Grandma, you can’t let them do this!" she pleaded, her voice laced with desperation.

"Lin Feng only killed those bastards because they harmed his friends and kidnapped innocent girls. This isn’t his fault!"

Her purple eyes shimmered with urgency as she gazed at her grandmother, hoping—praying—for some form of intervention.

Chen Qing met her granddaughter’s frantic gaze with a complicated expression before firmly shaking her head.

"You know I can’t do that, little one," she said, her voice steady yet tinged with regret.

"It’s already fortunate that the Wei Clan didn’t kill Lin Feng on the spot. You know the rules between our clans—we cannot kill each other’s members directly."

A cold chuckle rang out. Watching their exchange, Wei Sheng felt a surge of satisfaction swell within him.

A smug smile spread across his lips as he stepped forward and declared.

"Well then, it’s decided. From this moment forward, the Wei Clan will place a bounty of 10,000 spirit stones on Lin Feng’s head."

He paused, letting the weight of his words sink in before adding, "With this amount, not only Qi Condensation cultivators but even Foundation Establishment experts will be eager to hunt him down!"

Lin Feng clenched his fists so tightly that his nails dug into his palms, drawing blood.

Rage simmered inside him, dark and seething.

He had fought countless battles in his short time as a cultivator, but never—never—had he hated anyone as much as he hated the Wei Clan at this moment.

FUCK!! ONE DAY, I’LL HAVE MY REVENGE!

His eyes burned with murderous intent, the barely restrained spiritual energy within him surging dangerously.

For a moment, it threatened to burst out in an overwhelming display of power.

But he gritted his teeth, forcing himself to stay calm. Any outburst here would only make things worse.

Taking a slow, steady breath, he turned toward Chen Mei and Elder Chen Qing.

"Chen Mei, Elder Chen Qing," he said, his voice low but firm, "thank you for standing up for me. I truly appreciate what you’re trying to do.

But this is enough—I want to handle my own problems. One day, I will repay this favor."

Bowing his head in gratitude, he made a silent vow.

I have a few debts to repay—one to the Blackwood Ruler, another to Old Man Chen Li, and the last to Chen Mei and Elder Chen Qing.

Before they could respond, Lin Feng turned his gaze toward the Chen Clan—more specifically, toward Wei Sheng.

His expression was unreadable, his eyes cold and sharp like tempered steel.

"I accept your bounty, Wei Clan," he declared, his voice steady.

"Send as many cultivators as you want—I’ll kill them all the same. I only hope your clan has at least a shred of decency and won’t send Foundation Establishment cultivators after me while I’m still in the Qi Condensation Realm."

He bowed his head once more, appearing as if he was conceding.

But beneath that display of humility, his rage smoldered hotter than ever.

I need to seem weak so they don’t see me as a threat and try to kill me.

Let them underestimate me—until it’s too late to do anything about me.

Wei Sheng’s expression darkened at Lin Feng’s words.

The air around him grew heavy, and then—

BOOM!

A suffocating force exploded from Wei Sheng, his cultivation base surging like a raging storm.

The air trembled under the weight of his power as an invisible force slammed into Lin Feng, crushing down on him like a mountain.

His bones creaked under the immense pressure, his muscles screaming in protest.

The attack was so sudden that even Elder Chen Qing couldn’t react in time.

Lin Feng’s vision blurred as he struggled to remain standing, his instincts screaming at him to resist—

But then—

BANG!

His body was wrenched from the Frostvenom Python’s back, sent hurtling through the air like a broken arrow.

The world spun in a dizzying blur before he crashed into the frozen earth below. T

he impact sent shockwaves rippling through the ground, a deafening explosion of snow and shattered soil erupting in all directions.

"LIN FENG!!"

Chen Mei’s scream tore through the air, her voice frantic.

Whoosh!

Without hesitation, she sprang off the python’s back, landing with a practiced grace before bolting toward the crater where Lin Feng had fallen.

The cold wind whipped past her, but she barely felt it—her pulse pounded in her ears, drowning out everything else.

Lin Feng lay motionless in the shattered earth, half-buried in snow and debris. Pain pulsed through his body like molten iron, every breath a struggle.

Blood dripped from the corner of his lips, stark against the white frost beneath him.

His wounds—already severe from his battle with Wei Jun—had only worsened, his body teetering on the edge of collapse.

His fingers twitched, a weak attempt to move, but his limbs refused to obey.

A crushing weight pressed down on him, blurring his vision, dragging him toward unconsciousness.

The world darkened at the edges, his breath coming in ragged, uneven gasps.

Yet, through the haze of agony and exhaustion, one thought burned with searing clarity.

FUCK!! THESE BASTARDS!!

Rage—deep, seething rage—boiled inside him, hotter than fire, sharper than a blade.

He had never felt such humiliation in his life.

Not even back in Raincloud Village, when he had been nothing but a Broken Soul, mocked and discarded, had he experienced this level of disgrace.

But now... now it was different. Back then, he had been powerless.

Now, he had strength—strength that should have been enough to stand his ground.

And yet, he had still been crushed.

The realization only made the fury in his chest burn all the more violently.
