Chapter 1152: 1151: A Helpless Ending

“I’m sorry, there’s nothing I can do either.” The female leader sighed helplessly. Her true identity was the adopted daughter of the Divine Queen, raised and nurtured by her.

She was provided for her cultivation and growth, so she had to listen to the Divine Queen, even if it went against her original intent.

For instance, making Princess Feng Qi gravely ill. When she first received such an order, she was terrified, but she eventually compromised.

These years she spent in constant conflict.

She certainly didn’t want the princess to die, so even after tampering, she still seriously looked for a Divine Doctor for her, without a moment’s slack, but unfortunately, things always went awry.

Watching the princess grow weaker day by day, her heart ached too. She was even mentally prepared to follow closely behind once the princess passed away.

Never to live dishonorably.

Now, with the arrival of Tang Feng, it resolved everything, which was good for her as the burdens she carried could finally be completely relieved.

“Qu Ling, I always considered you the closest person to me, never expected the result would almost cost me my life. I seem to understand now, but it doesn’t matter anymore. I’m glad you accompanied me these years. Despite the torment of illness, they were my happiest days, though I don’t know if that means I’m being masochistic.” Feng Qi smiled self-deprecatingly, tears uncontrollably streaming down.

She really couldn’t understand, given her the greatest pain, why also bring happiness? Isn’t this tormenting to death? Might as well kill her for relief.

“Princess, no matter what, you are my best sister, I don’t want to explain anything, be careful in the future.” Qu Ling finished speaking and turned away, seeming not to intend harm.

Just because she wasn’t acting, someone else would. The target for those people was just one at this moment, the seemingly weak guard now emanating a powerful aura.

Boom! Qu Ling bore the brunt, being blasted away.

“Foolish woman, just knew you’d screw up rather than succeed. According to the Divine Queen’s orders, disobeyers would all be executed, no matter who.” A guard sneered glancing once, then ordered others to attack Tang Feng, for they naturally felt Tang Feng’s terrifying presence.

It would have been fine if these people hadn’t provoked him, but since they did, there’s no difference between provoking him and Death God.

The guards wouldn’t have expected how strong the person they overlooked was.

After their move, Tang Feng stretched out his hand.

He didn’t act personally but instead threw out runes.

Various runes flew towards the guards, and once attached, they vanished in the temple.

All were annihilated by the runes.

Qu Ling finally felt at ease after witnessing this.

The injuries she sustained were not minor, never expected she was just a pawn easily discarded.

Feng Qi, still unwilling, approached her, helped her up, then looked at Tang Feng, eyes full of pleading.

Tang Feng, still unable to bear it, could see, these two had genuine feelings, who hasn’t faced moments of no choice?

Since the individuals involved could reconcile, he had nothing to say.

A Divine Pill was handed over.

Thank you!

Qu Ling wasn’t a stubborn woman, took it and swallowed, a moment later internal and external injuries healed, the whole person restored to previous glory.

“Thank you!”

Only now did Qu Ling realize how terrifying Tang Feng’s capabilities were. She had seen Divine Pills before, but compared to what Tang Feng took out, the difference was substantial.

“You guys chat.” Tang Feng glanced at Qu Ling, then disappeared.

“Princess, I’m sorry.”

“Those three words I don’t want to hear, tell me what I want to hear.” Feng Qi said.

This is how it went.

Qu Ling recounted how she was adopted from a young age, placed in a Merchant Group, eventually becoming the female leader to approach the princess.

“I see, the Divine Queen’s scheming is indeed terrifying.” Feng Qi had not expected that the person she believed closest was the one meant to kill her, what else in this world can be trusted?

“Princess, I was wrong, hope in the future there’s a chance to make amends for the mistakes.” Qu Ling said.

“Let’s not speak of this again, in the future, you are you, I am me, let everything from the past be bygone.” Feng Qi’s wounded heart couldn’t heal so quickly, she didn’t want a perpetual cycle of pain.

Once trust in someone is lost, it’s difficult to regain.

Qu Ling’s heart aches greatly, if she could turn back time, maybe she would choose a different life, now she has to bear the bitter fruit she created.

Qu Ling left, no face left to stay there.

The people she brought were all eradicated, while all individuals from the Mountain Guardian Hall were Divine Puppets forged by Tang Feng.

Their strength was incomparable to the previous people.

With them, the mountain’s order will surely be better.

Feng Qi recovered well, these days her mood finally calmed down, she knew life was long and had to continue, what’s gone shouldn’t dwell in the heart.

Life is this brutal, yet it teaches many truths.

And people mature through betrayals one after another.

After this incident, Feng Qi had matured greatly, knowing what she should do moving forward.

“Young master, thank you, I am ready to leave tomorrow.” Feng Qi had prepared, intending to return to fight the Divine Queen, even if she ultimately failed, she wouldn’t give up.

“Stay safe, from now on only you can take care of yourself.” Tang Feng didn’t urge her to stay either.

Her future had to be created by herself, who knows, there might come a new Empress; who’s to say?

He now only cared about how much Faith Power he could gather.

It seemed that the coming period shouldn’t be too idle, Tang Feng wanted to restructure the surrounding area, making it into a venue revered by the world.

That was still a secondary aim, the main goal was that elusive Power of Faith, having tasted success left him eager for more.

Overnight, the Mountain Temple became more mysterious, faith power lingering across the temple, continuously refining Tang Feng’s body.

No wonder those with Buddhist Cultivation needn’t travel much.

Such cultivation was surprisingly easy.

Tang Feng, who doesn’t engage in Buddhist Cultivation, still sought Power of Faith, at some point, he would inevitably clash with powerful figures from Buddhist sects. To them, Faith Power was also extremely important, otherwise, why would there be temples throughout the Divine Country?

Tang Ran couldn’t think much for now, over the coming period, the number of people coming up the mountain increased significantly, it could be described as a sea of people.

And with the crowd naturally came merchants setting up on the mountain, with several eateries opening nearby, surprisingly doing quite well in business.

Tang Feng didn’t mind, letting them revitalize the entire area.

There were only benefits, no drawbacks for him.

He could peacefully cultivate.

Unexpectedly, a few days later, Qu Ling returned with a gravely injured Feng Qi, and also brought an extraordinary stone.

Qu Ling said nothing, left the stone and Feng Qi, and hastily departed.

This woman wasn’t entirely wicked.

Tang Feng didn’t know what Feng Qi had done, but admired her courage, nearly having her heart shattered, yet managing to cling to life, was already quite remarkable.
