After exiting the Full Moon Pavilion, Long Chen had only taken a few steps when he saw someone rushing towards him. Long Chen immediately knew who it was, it turned out to be Qin Feng. Previously, when Long Chen entered the Full Moon Pavilion, he seemed to have met him here as well.
"Qin Feng, you …" Long Chen was in a good mood, and just as he was greeting him, he suddenly saw this guy's red eyes. His eyes were red and swollen, and he was definitely crying. From his ashen face, it could be seen that this guy had definitely experienced something tragic, otherwise, he would not be like this.
"What's wrong?"
Long Chen hurriedly walked forward, his expression becoming serious. He had a vague premonition that although Long Chen had become the Evil Dragon Palace Leader, and because of the rules, the two of them did not fight like before, their relationship as fellow disciples still existed in Long Chen's heart. He was a person who valued friendship and righteousness, and Li Xuanji had once said that he was an emotional animal.
Qin Feng seemed to be unable to control his impulse. He tried his best to suppress himself and not let himself go crazy. He roared until his voice was hoarse as he said to Long Chen, "Palace Master, Jiang Cha is dead."
Long Chen's expression changed drastically, a wave of killing intent instantly erupted from his body, alarming the surrounding crowd. Everyone looked at Long Chen in fear, recognizing that he was the Evil Dragon Palace Leader, but they didn't know what this brat was angry about, to be so scary.
Long Chen never thought that such a thing would actually happen in the three days that he had left.
Jiang Cha, who was like a sister next door, had actually died.
This news was like a haze that shrouded Long Chen's head, especially when he thought about how Qin Feng and Jiang Cha had not been together for long.
This was not the place to be angry or noisy. Long Chen gritted his teeth and said, "Come with me first."
Qin Feng also knew his limits. He followed Long Chen and left the public square of the Full Moon Pavilion. That was a place where crooks and honest folk mixed together. Even the slightest bit of news would leak out. In this vast Imperial Star, the two of them found a secluded place. At this moment, Qin Feng couldn't help but tear up. His countenance was ashen as he panted heavily. His clothes were incomparably dirty, but he didn't seem to notice.
"What the hell is going on? Isn't he alive and well? How did he die?" Long Chen could not hold it in any longer, and asked with an ugly expression.
Although he had not interacted with Jiang Cha for long, she could be considered his senior sister, and she was a kind girl. How did she suddenly die...
Thinking about how such a girl actually died, the flames of hatred in Long Chen's heart burned fiercely, especially when he saw Qin Feng's crumbling appearance. Long Chen understood him very well. The most helpless and painful thing for a man was not being able to protect his woman. If Long Chen could not protect Lingxi, he would probably be even more helpless and pained than Qin Feng.
"She... is not completely dead, but she's not much different from being dead. She can forget about waking up in this lifetime," Qin Feng said sadly, causing one's heart to break.
"Not dead, that means there's a chance to save her. Let's go back to the Evil Dragon Palace first. She's in the Jiang Xin Pavilion, right? I'll go take a look, we'll talk on the way," Long Chen said decisively.
"It's useless. She used the 'Soul Scattering Technique' to kill herself. The 'Soul Scattering Technique' can scatter her three souls and seven mortal forms, leaving only the Spiritual Wisdom Soul sleeping in her sea of consciousness. This is not much different from death. To summon her three souls and seven mortal forms back, she needs to have a heavenly method or a peerless treasure. In any case, I've rarely heard of people using the 'Soul Scattering Technique' to survive," Qin Feng said with grief and indignation.
Long Chen had heard of the 'Soul Scattering Technique' before. It was similar to the 'Soul Merging Technique', both were strange and secret techniques. The 'Soul Scattering Technique' was more widespread. Generally speaking, if a God Martial Realm warrior committed suicide, as long as the God Martial Soul did not scatter, it was almost equivalent to not dying. However, the 'Soul Scattering Technique' could almost cause one's death. It was a rather cruel method.
Ordinary people would not use the 'Soul Scattering Technique' unless they encountered a situation where they had no choice but to commit suicide.
Why did Jiang Cha use the 'Soul Scattering Technique'?
The first thing Long Chen did was to ask Kitten, "After using the 'Soul Scattering Technique', is there a way to save her?"
Kitten didn't care and said, "It's not a big deal. There are many elixirs and heavenly treasures that can achieve this. It's just that we can't find them in this Imperial Palace. However, they are very valuable. They are not inferior to the Nine Revolutions Golden Soul Elixir that you used previously. In fact, they might even be more valuable."
Long Chen heaved a sigh of relief. Finally, there was a chance to save her. He quickly told this news to Qin Feng because he knew that this man must have been tortured to the point of insanity.
"The 'Soul Scattering Technique' doesn't mean that there is no way to save her. If I have this opportunity, I will definitely find something that can save her. You just need to preserve her body. Trust me."
Long Chen stared at Qin Feng. He couldn't guarantee that he could find something that could save her, but he would definitely try his best.
After all, Jiang Cha was also Long Chen's friend.
Back when he obtained the Saints' Fruit for Li Xuanji, Long Chen had also worked very hard. Qin Feng had already taken this matter to heart.
"The Nine-Star Chaos City is filled with crooks and honest people. Heavenly treasures can be found anywhere. There should be something you need there. Don't worry. When I find something suitable, Uncle Cat will remind you," Kitten said proudly.
With Kitten's guarantee, Long Chen felt much more at ease.
Qin Feng was extremely emotional when he heard Long Chen's words. He had already given up all hope before. All he could think about was revenge, but Long Chen's words gave him new hope. Although he was uncertain, it was better than nothing. Qin Feng trusted Long Chen completely. Otherwise, he would not have stayed in the Evil Dragon Hall and waited for Long Chen to come out.
"Many thanks Palace Lord, Qin Feng will definitely take good care of Little Tea's body until you find a way to save it. Many thanks, many thanks." Qin Feng was about to kneel down in front of Long Chen. He was incomparably emotional as he repeatedly thanked Long Chen.
Long Chen helped him up and said solemnly, "You still need to wait for a while. I can only say that I will definitely do my best."
Long Chen shifted the topic to the main point after he was assured that he would recover. His gaze darkened as he said, "Then, you should tell me who did it."
No matter who it was, anyone who could make a young girl despair to the point of using a soul-scattering technique deserved to be killed.
As he spoke up to here, the originally gentle and scholarly Qin Feng also had a look of hatred on his face. His eyes flickered with killing intent as he gritted his teeth, "Palace Lord, do you believe me?"
"I do." Long Chen only said one word.
This single word contained boundless power to Qin Feng. He was agitated, furious, and filled with hatred. He growled, "Then I'll tell you. Although I didn't see it with my own eyes, I'm certain that this person is definitely a prodigy of the Heaven Hall. Lu Junyue, it must be him."
Lu Junyue.
At first, Long Chen thought it was Li Cang. After all, he had a grudge with Li Cang, and Li Cang had kidnapped Jiang Cha and Qin Feng. Long Chen was filled with self-blame at the beginning. After all, Jiang Cha's matter was definitely related to him.
But now, he actually said it was Lu Junyue.
That Lu Junyue appeared in Long Chen's mind. That fellow's cultivation seemed to be outstanding, and his manner of speaking was very elegant. How could he be someone who would do such a thing? To be able to force Jiang Cha to use the Soul Scattering Technique, he was clearly very ruthless.
"Do you have proof?" asked Long Chen.
"I do."
Qin Feng's eyes were already filled with tears when he said this. He took out a piece of paper from his storage ring. On it was written, "If you want to know the cause of your parents' death, come to Silent Valley to find me."
Qin Feng said with tears in his eyes, "This is what I found in Xiao Cha. That day, when you entered the Full Moon Pavilion, we just happened to come out to play. That day, she wasn't in a good mood. I don't know what she was thinking. Damn it, I actually quarreled with her. In the blink of an eye, she disappeared. I thought she went back after throwing a tantrum, but I didn't think I would find this at home. Then I rushed to Silent Valley …"
By the time he arrived, it was already too late.
Long Chen took the piece of paper. The handwriting on it was like dancing dragons and dancing phoenixes. Clearly, it was the man's handwriting.
"The cause of Jiang Cha's parents' death." Long Chen had never heard of this matter, but Long Chen knew that Jiang Cha and Jiang Qing were related.
"Yes, Xiao Cha's parents were once ordinary disciples of the Heavenly God Hall. However, they died mysteriously when Jiang Cha was young. It has been a long time since then. The reason why I said it was Lu Junyue is because he is a member of the Heavenly God Hall. Only he could think of using the cause of his parents' death to lure Jiang Cha over. It must be him."
Qin Feng had said from the start that this Lu Junyue was not a good person. He had killed many female disciples, but they were all suppressed by the Punishment Hall in the end.
This series of events caused Long Chen to frown. He felt that something was strange, so he said, "Even if it's Lu Junyue, you can forget about pointing out anything on this piece of paper. It doesn't constitute any evidence."
Indeed, many people could have made the same piece of paper. It might not have been Lu Junyue.
"It must be him. I must take revenge on him. Hall Master, I must take revenge on him. Only then will I be satisfied," Qin Feng roared anxiously.
"How do you plan to take revenge?" Long Chen asked helplessly.
He knew that Lu Junyue not only had an illustrious family background, but he had also reached the eighth tier of the Divine Martial Realm. He was a warrior on the same level as Ye Wushang. Even the current Long Chen could not deal with him.
