Chapter 670: Chapter 658: Wronged Soul!

"It was Youu Chen who killed the people of the Youu Family!" When Shi Feng uttered these words, he himself could hardly believe it!

He was the Young Lord of the Youu Family, how could he have massacred the entire Youu Family?

"It was the Young Lord! No mistake, it was the Young Lord!" Uncle Qing recalled that night’s events and became increasingly agitated as he spoke, "I saw it clearly, that night, the Young Lord returned! The Young Lord came back for revenge! They all died, they were all killed by the Young Lord! I was supposed to die too, but the Young Lord, the Young Lord spared me, he spared me."

Uncle Qing, filled with excitement, began to speak incoherently.

"The Young Lord returned? The Young Lord came back for revenge?" Hearing Uncle Qing’s words, Shi Feng’s brows furrowed even deeper. From this, he started to discern some of the trouble. Then, with a flick of his right hand, a ghostly white mark shot into the old man’s forehead.

As the ghostly white mark entered, Uncle Qing gradually calmed down.

Looking at Uncle Qing, Shi Feng asked again, "What exactly happened to the Youu Family back then? What really happened to Youu Chen?"

Uncle Qing calmed down and once again looked at Shi Feng, slowly starting to speak, "Thirteen years ago, the second elder of the Youu Family broke through to the Martial Venerable Realm and became the strongest in Beimeng City!

So, the second elder executed the Family Head, the Lady, and Young Lord Youu Chen, seizing the position of the Family Head of the Youu Family! Especially Young Lord Youu Chen, who had insulted the second elder, enraged the second elder and commanded that the Young Lord be flayed, had his tendons pulled out, his bones picked clean, and ultimately was executed."

Hearing Uncle Qing’s account, Shi Feng’s hands were already clenched into fists, his whole body beginning to shake.

He, my dear brother Youu Chen! He died so horribly!

Uncle Qing continued to speak, "Perhaps because the Young Lord died with grievances, seven days later, the Young Lord’s soul returned to the Youu Family. I saw it myself, the Young Lord, he killed all the Youu Family members, including the second elder!"

"Now, although thirteen years have passed, since that night, many people who approach the Youu Mansion at night hear the sounds of sorrow coming from inside, as if someone is crying in agony. That voice, it’s like the sound of Young Lord Youu Chen crying! Our Young Lord, he really died a terrible death back then!"

"After that, within Beimeng City, nobody dared to approach the Youu Mansion. There were those who didn’t believe in evil spirits and climbed over the wall into the Youu Mansion at night. The next day, people found that the person had died at the Gate of the Youu Mansion, his eyes wide open, his face filled with horror. It looked like he was literally scared to death!

Since then, people in Beimeng City didn’t even dare to talk about the Youu Mansion, let alone approach it. They were terrified of inviting disaster upon themselves!"

Shi Feng then understood why, when he had asked passersby about the Youu Family earlier, they had run away as if they had seen a ghost.

"The ghost of Youu Chen is still wandering in the Youu Mansion!" Hearing Uncle Qing’s story, Shi Feng murmured again.

"I want to go to the Youu Mansion again!" Shi Feng said, and in an instant, his figure vanished into the narrow alley, out of sight of Uncle Qing.

"This... this... this... this..." Seeing the young man who had just been before his eyes suddenly disappear, Uncle Qing’s eyes widened in shock, horror spread across his old face.

"Whoosh!" Suddenly, a breeze swept up behind Uncle Qing, chilling his back, and he slowly uttered one word, "Ghost!"

As he said this word, a shiver ran through Uncle Qing’s body, and he trembled violently.

...

Shi Feng left the dilapidated alleyway and, with a flicker of his form, soon returned to the Youu Family Mansion, landing in a courtyard filled with dust, cobwebs, weeds, and withered trees.

Shi Feng’s gaze swept around as his Soul Power began to sense his surroundings. However, after a while, Shi Feng shook his head; he had not detected the aura of any Yin Souls.

"Youu Chen, my brother! Are you here?" Shi Feng called loudly. Echoes of his voice filled the abandoned Youu Mansion, but after a while, Shi Feng received no response.

Then, Shi Feng moved forward, walking towards the main hall of the Youu Family.

Just as Shi Feng entered the main hall, suddenly, a wave of Yin Soul fluctuation came from ahead. However, it quickly disappeared.

Still, that fluctuation had been caught by Shi Feng’s Soul Power. Looking up slightly, Shi Feng locked his gaze on a white jade longsword hanging high on the wall of the main hall ahead. The wave of Yin Soul fluctuation had emanated from that very sword.

"The Youu Family’s Cloud Sword!" Shi Feng had heard about this sword from Youu Chen in the past. It was named the Cloud Sword, a treasured blade passed down from the ancestors of the Youu Family.

Back when Shi Feng was in the Netherworld, he was just a Little Martial Practitioner and had not felt anything unusual about this sword. Now, with his Soul Power at the Two-star Saint Level, he sensed a chill force emanating from the Cloud Sword of the Youu Family.

Now that Shi Feng was so close to the sword, besides the chill force, he also detected a wisp of Yin Soul inhabiting it! Perhaps it was because of this Cloud Sword that Shi Feng had previously sensed no Yin Souls in the courtyard.

"Youu Chen, my brother, is it you?" Shi Feng stared at the Cloud Sword and called out.

When Shi Feng spoke these words, he suddenly saw the Cloud Sword tremble slightly!

"Youu Chen!" Shi Feng called out again, softly.

"Ah! Who is it! Who is it! Who is it!" Suddenly, a piercing scream echoed throughout the main hall.

Shi Feng felt an overwhelming malignancy rush out from the Cloud Sword. "Aaaaah! Who is calling me! Who is it! Damn it, they all deserve to die! My death was so tragic, so tragic, oh so tragic!"

Following that, a series of mournful howls resonated, and a cold aura, a freezing wind blew through the main hall.

Hearing that sound and sensing the changes around him, Shi Feng already felt an incredibly strong resentment!

A Yin Soul capable of emitting such resentment must have experienced unimaginable agony before death!

"Youu Chen, my brother, you’ve suffered greatly!" Shi Feng said grievously, sensing the atmosphere around him.

Immediately after, Shi Feng saw a white spectral apparition emerge in front of the Cloud Sword. The apparition’s face was pale, ferocious, and severely distorted with rage!

Although the apparition had taken on such a form, Shi Feng still recognized the person as his brother from a past life, Youu Chen!

That gentlemanly and kind-hearted scholar, how had he become so grotesque?

"Death! You all shall die with no graves to rest in!" The apparition roared, as a surge of vengeful energy rose from its body! The entire main hall’s temperature plummeted swiftly, as if it had fallen into an ice cellar, and the air itself seemed about to freeze!
