Looting the life force of demons to forge a golden body Martial God-Chapter 275 - 263: Wang Weiguo Takes the Blame Again, Fishing? Grab the Rod First! Tighten the Sails! (2/3)

Chapter 275: Chapter 263: Wang Weiguo Takes the Blame Again, Fishing? Grab the Rod First! Tighten the Sails! (2/3)

Trembling like a quail, Zheng Bo watched the two go back and forth until Chu Feng exchanged what was called a secret for the pot whose purpose was unknown, feeling somewhat melancholic.

Commander Lin was a good man, always willing to amuse children in his free time...

Chu Feng knew that Lin Zhong had just treated him as a junior and was joking with him, without really threatening him to give up the secret.

Otherwise, on Lin Zhong’s turf, he had a thousand ways to torment him.

Chu Feng laughed and said, "Commander Lin is generous! Trust me, this secret will prove to be more than worth it."

With his arms crossed, Lin Zhong lazily smiled and said, "An old piece of trash that’s been useless for years. If it wasn’t for the rules, I wouldn’t care to just give it to you for nothing.

"Tell me the ’astonishing secret’ you know, don’t worry, my word is my bond, the things I promised to give won’t be taken back."

Chu Feng didn’t speak, first glancing at Zheng Bo.

Zheng Bo was stunned for a moment, then immediately understood his meaning, glowering at him with bulging eyes.

This Chu Feng is no good! All ’big brother’ this and ’big brother’ that when he needs me, but once he’s done, he wants me to step aside?

Unfilial!

Lin Zhong chuckled, "It doesn’t matter, everyone here is trustworthy; otherwise, they wouldn’t be allowed to guard the most valuable No. 1 warehouse."

Chu Feng nodded and didn’t beat around the bush, promptly relaying the knowledge related to the Soul Hosting Device to Lin Zhong: "This pot is a kind of Soul Hosting Device..."

He also told Lin Zhong about the aspects of divine beings descending and the Curse Dream Power in detail, leaving Lin Zhong, Zheng Bo, and the others monitoring the conversation with ever-changing expressions.

After Chu Feng finished speaking, Lin Zhong pondered for a while before suddenly asking, "Does this information have a source?"

Chu Feng chuckled, throwing out the excuse he had already thought of: "I saw a book at Uncle Wang Er in the Wang Jiawei Country house, which recorded something similar."

Hoping that Uncle Wang Er has a strong enough spine to bear the brunt of so many scapegoats... Chu Feng offered his insincere condolences internally.

Lin Zhong nodded understandingly and laughed, "As expected of one of the three great families, the Wang Family, your foundation is indeed profound."

He chuckled to himself, "If we could raid these families, I wonder how many treasures we could unearth..."

"Cough cough cough cough!" Zheng Bo suddenly erupted into a fit of coughing, interrupting his speech.

This commander really, speak whatever comes to his mind in front of outsiders!

After coughing, Zheng Bo quickly changed the subject, saying excitedly, "So that means there’s hope for those old folks trapped in the Curse Dream!

"I remember there are a few who haven’t been able to escape the nightmare; it seems that the curses inside them haven’t been resolved yet!"

Lin Zhong nodded and smiled, "Exactly, before we didn’t know where the problem lay, treating them as if they had mental disorders, which is why they never improved.

"Now that we know the problem, we can solve it specifically. But actually, the biggest gain is..."

Lin Zhong and Chu Feng simultaneously showed a mischievous grin: "Fishing!"

Lin Zhong turned his head to ask Zheng Bo, "Do we have more things like this in our warehouse?"

Zheng Bo immediately responded as if enumerating his family treasures, "We’ve breached the Demon Clan’s villages three times in the last ten years and confiscated five similar... Soul Hosting Devices.

"However, only one was left here; the rest were sent to the General Military Command!"

Lin Zhong immediately ordered, "Contact Secretary Wang, in my name, to have all those items sent back here first, then requisition similar items from other defense line military districts!

"Get the fishing rods!"

"Yes!" Zheng Bo, with an excited expression, quickly left the warehouse and took out his communication terminal to call Secretary Wang.

On this side, Lin Zhong looked at Chu Feng with satisfaction, patted him firmly on the shoulder, and laughed, "You’re really a blessing in disguise, lad. Quietly, you’ve brought us another string of immense merits!

"However, I can’t decide on this matter. After we collect the Soul Hosting Devices, we’ll report to the Commander-in-Chief and let him take the lead!"

Chu Feng chuckled, "You flatter me, sir."

Lin Zhong glanced at the Soul Hosting Pot on the shelf and asked, "What do you need this thing for? Be careful, or those big fish might just swallow it in one gulp."

"..."

Chu Feng fell silent, his smile vanishing.

After a while, he spoke softly, "When I was interrogating Fire Spirit Demon Priest Fika, I learned from him that my parents might still be alive, in the form of Soul Bodies."

"After they were sacrificed, their souls were sent to the Divine Realm of the Fire Sacrifice Evil God in the Demon Realm, subjected to the Evil God’s torture."

"I want to grow stronger as quickly as possible, break into the Demon Realm, and rescue them. But right now, I don’t even know where the Demon Realm is or how to get there."

"Seeing this Soul Hosting Device, it suddenly occurred to me, could there be a chance to use it to draw over the Fire Sacrifice Evil God and His Divine Realm, and rescue my parents?"

It was the first time Lin Zhong had heard about this; he finally understood why Chu Feng was so obsessed with the Demon Realm.

He nodded, patting Chu Feng’s shoulder reassuringly, "There’s a chance! When the Evil Gods of the Otherworld descend, to ensure their combat capabilities, they typically connect to God’s Kingdom and manifest as Domains on Blue Star."

"Having the Soul Hosting Device, beckoning Their descent, you might be able to shatter God’s Kingdom and rescue the people within."

"If you need it, our Demon Extermination Army’s Far East Defense Line will do our best to cooperate with you!"

He sighed inwardly, though, as these words were merely meant for comfort.

It was uncertain if Chu Feng’s parents could hold on until they were rescued.

Even if God’s Kingdom of the Fire Sacrifice Evil God was broken and a batch of souls was saved, it wasn’t certain they would be among those rescued.

Additionally, the unique state of Soul Bodies meant they’d dissipate immediately upon leaving God’s Kingdom. How could they be preserved then, and how could Soul Bodies reclaim Physical Bodies?

For Chu Feng to reunite with his parents, there were still too many difficulties to be resolved.

Unaware of Lin Zhong’s thoughts, Chu Feng simply nodded earnestly and said with a smile, "I’ll try my best. This Soul Hosting Device is a hope for their rescue."

"If that doesn’t work, I will strive to cultivate hard, break through to the Yin and Yang or even to the Hunyuan Realm as soon as possible, then sneak into the Demon Realm and kill the Fire Sacrifice Evil God!"

Lin Zhong laughed, "Good, when the time comes, I’ll be there to back you up!"

Just then, Lin Zhong’s communication terminal rang.

He checked it and said to Chu Feng with a smile, "I’ll let Xiao Zheng take you out. I need to go grab the Soul Hosting Devices from other military districts.

"After the deity-slaying, you’ll get a share of the credit as a reward for providing intelligence!"

"Thank you, Commander Lin!"

He looked at Zheng Bo, then at the surveillance cameras overhead and said seriously, "But keep this secret; don’t let it get to the ears of other military districts!"

"Yes!"

...

Watching Lin Zhong leave, Chu Feng winked at Zheng Bo and said with a grin, "It’s alright, Zheng. Commander Lin is very busy now; he probably has already forgotten about us making fun of him."

Zheng Bo was startled, a bitter smile appearing on his face. Just as he was about to say something, he suddenly became alert and quietly looked up at the surveillance, transmitting a message to Chu Feng:

『Brother, you’re overthinking it. Commander Lin won’t forget! Once he’s done with his work, he’ll surely come back to settle the score with us!』

Damn, is old Lin that petty?

Chu Feng immediately looked frantic and said, "Then I’m leaving now, and you... well, you’re on your own..."

"..."

Zheng Bo was left speechless.

Great, just a moment ago you were laughing joyfully, and now you’ve excused yourself from it all, leaving me to deal with the consequences?

You’re no saint either!
