Chapter 253: The Ancestor of the Feng Family
Liu Jinfeng’s head fell heavily to the ground.
His face still showed a mix of shock, fear, and unwillingness.
All ten people had been killed.
Ye Zhiqiu, Bai Xiu, and Xuening still had a dazed expression, as if they were still in a dream.
Everything that had happened earlier seemed like a fantasy to them.
At first, they had been extremely tense and fearful, but after Su Jingzhen’s explosion, they had felt an absolute sense of relief.
Now, when Bai Xiu and Ye Zhiqiu looked at Su Jingzhen, their gazes were filled with a hint of reverence.
The two of them exchanged a glance, then bowed to Su Jingzhen, clasping their hands together in gratitude.
This bow was a thank you for Su Jingzhen’s life-saving grace.
Ye Zhiqiu’s mouth curled up into a bitter smile: “To be honest, at the beginning, I thought that Friend Su was the weakest among us in terms of combat strength.”“Who would have thought that, at such a young age, he not only had such alchemy skills but also achieved the Flesh Body Golden Embryo through Body Cultivation?”
“I’m in awe! Truly in awe!”
“It was just luck,” Su Jingzhen replied, not wanting to dwell on the topic.
Bai Xiu then asked, “Friend Su, are you really a disciple of the Evil Moon Sect?”
He had been wanting to ask this question since he heard Liu Jinfeng’s words earlier.
Finally, he had the opportunity.
When Su Jingzhen heard this, he let out a sigh in his heart.
Some labels were impossible to shake off.
However, perhaps his identity as a demonic cultivator could explain his extraordinary combat strength today.
After all, it was common knowledge that some demonic cultivation methods were rapid and effective.
So, advancing quickly could be understood.
This could be a decent cover.
Thinking of this, Su Jingzhen’s expression turned serious.
“Since Friend Bai asked, let’s reintroduce ourselves. I am Su Jingzhen, Chief Acolyte of the Evil Moon Sect’s Linjiang Branch!”
As soon as he said this, Ye Zhiqiu, Bai Xiu, and even Xuening’s hearts skipped a beat again.
Xuening, although his partner, had never thought of Su Jingzhen’s identity.
Seeing the three of them shocked and bewildered, Su Jingzhen smiled again.
“I suppose my demon sect identity has surprised you all.”

As soon as he finished speaking, golden words suddenly appeared in front of him.
Xuening immediately responded with a triple strike.
Of course, this also showed Xuening’s attitude towards Su Jingzhen’s demonic cultivator identity.
She didn’t have much experience in the cultivation world, but in the few days she had spent with Su Jingzhen, she knew that he was not only a genius but also a good person.
Whether he was a demonic cultivator or not didn’t matter to her.
Ye Zhiqiu and the others also quickly reacted.
They hurriedly said, “Friend Su, it doesn’t matter where you’re from.”
“What’s called demonic cultivation is just a different method of cultivation.”
“After obtaining power, if one uses it for good and justice, what’s the difference between demonic cultivation and other cultivators?”
“Our Alchemist Association has never intentionally discriminated against demonic cultivators or so-called righteous cultivators.”
Ye Zhiqiu’s expression was extremely serious as she said this.
This wasn’t because they needed to curry favor with Su Jingzhen in this special situation.
Rather, the Alchemist Association had always operated in this manner.
True wise men naturally knew that good and evil came from the heart.
And not from the form of power manifestation.
When Su Jingzhen heard this, he was somewhat surprised.
Then he nodded, not wanting to dwell on this topic anymore.
He looked at the brutal corpses in front of him, and with a wave of his hand, he directly dragged them to the exit of the corridor.
“You guys don’t need to get your hands dirty”
“Since I was the one who killed these guys, let me clean them up.”
Su Jingzhen had originally wanted to use a small fireball technique to burn Liu Jinfeng’s corpse and the others.
But thinking about it, perhaps these corpses could still serve as evidence later, so it was better to keep them.
He quickly gathered the corpses into a pile.
His gaze then turned back to the center of the space.
There, the Feng Family’s ancestor was still sitting like a dried corpse.
Su Jingzhen changed into a new set of clothes and took out some clean water from his storage ring.
He washed his hands clean, and the four of them approached the Feng Family’s ancestor.
To their surprise, there were no prohibitions or guards here.
It was fortunate that Liu Jinfeng’s people had also been afraid to approach the ancestor.
Otherwise, a Foundation Establishment cultivator could have easily taken the Feng Family’s ancestor’s life.
Due to Su Jingzhen’s extraordinary performance earlier, Ye Zhiqiu felt a bit embarrassed to continue taking the lead.
She looked at Su Jingzhen, who smiled and said, “Perhaps you three are not as skilled in battle, but when it comes to alchemy, Miss Ye is undoubtedly the best among us.”
“Now that we need to refine the special Bodhi Breaking Through Adversity Pill, it’s only natural for Miss Ye to take the lead.”
“Before we start refining, the four of us can discuss and coordinate first.”
“Of course, the most important thing is to investigate the Feng Family’s ancestor’s condition first.”
As soon as Su Jingzhen said this, he received the recognition of the other three.
Their gazes turned back to the Feng Family’s ancestor in front of them.
If the ancestor had truly become a dried corpse, then all of this would be meaningless, and they could leave immediately.
At this time, the Feng Family’s ancestor did not have any breath or aura emanating from him.
Ye Zhiqiu put on a silk glove with a rather strong aura fluctuation.
Then, she bowed to the Feng Family’s ancestor and said, “Senior, I apologize for my offense!”
As she spoke, her right hand, clad in the glove, touched the Feng Family’s ancestor’s withered hand, and a thread of spiritual energy entered it.
Immediately, Ye Zhiqiu’s furrowed brow relaxed.
“He’s still alive.”
“It’s true that he’s only in a deep sleep!”
“But, as the elder said, his time is indeed limited.”
“With my estimation, his life force can’t last more than a month.”
As soon as Ye Zhiqiu said this, the four of them had a glimmer of excitement in their eyes.
This was a challenge for them, but didn’t alchemists love such challenges?
Moreover, even if they failed, the Feng Family wouldn’t dare to hold them responsible.
Earlier, Ye Zhiqiu and Bai Xiu had been worried that if they failed, the Feng Family might not dare to do anything to them, but could shift the blame to Su Jingzhen and Xuening.
But now that they knew Su Jingzhen’s true identity, they realized that the Feng Family’s fear of Su Jingzhen would be even greater than their fear of them.
At this time, Su Jingzhen took a step forward, standing in front of the Feng Family’s ancestor.
He bowed, saying, “Senior, I apologize for my offense!”
Ye Zhiqiu and the others were puzzled by Su Jingzhen’s actions.
But then, they saw him directly tear open the Feng Family’s ancestor’s clothes, revealing his chest.
On his chest, a lifelike, deeply embedded spider mark was squatting there.
