Chapter-31

"This story needs to be started 10 years ago when you would just a few months old. On that year, I brought some Chu family servants to go to a distant place. On the road, we passed through a forest on White Tiger Mountain Range."

"Within the mountain forest, I met a man. That male was carrying a child and he asked me if I have surnamed the Chu or not."

"Because we were escorting some goods and because the man's clothing was quite suspicious, I did not face him and answer his question."

"But I never would have thought that without that man even moving, two people exploded and died, becoming a pool of blood."

"At that time, we were terrified. We originally wanted to turn around and run, but it was useless. A formless aura bound all of us and we could not even move."

"Are you surnamed Chu? That man spoke and asked me once again. Only then did I realize that the one who killed my Chu family's servants and bound us would very likely have been that person."

"However, I, who saw such a strong person at that time was already terrified with fear. How could I have noticed his question? I only blankly stared at him."

"Then just at that time, I discovered with astonishment that two flames suddenly appeared in his eyes. At the same time, all the goods that we were bringing were burnt by fire. Even the cart and horses instantly became ash."

"At that moment, he already showed impatience. I could clearly feel the killing intent that he was emitting. It was the most terrifying killing intent that I had ever felt in my life. It was as if he directly came from Hell."

"If I currently judge that aura of his with my present strength, then it should be beyond Any Profound or Heaven Realm expert could posses."

"So, at that instant, I felt that I was, without a doubt, dead. However, he did not attack me. He only spoke and asked, for the last time, whether I was surnamed Chu or not."

"That time, I did not hesitate at all. I quickly replied to his question and I even said the circumstances of my own family and the location of the Chu family."

Speaking to that point, Chu Yuan seemed to feel extremely guilty. Chu Feng could guess why. Obviously, it was because him at that time was afraid of death and handed over everything about the Chu family.

After all, if that person had enmity towards the Chu family, Chu Yuan's words would have completely sold the Chu family out and all of the Chu family members could not have escaped death. However, since the Chu family was still here, it meant that the man should have had another goal.

"Father, what next?" Chu Feng really wanted to know the ending.

"After that, he killed all the servants that went along with me and only left me alone. He entrusted that child to me, and that child was you."

"After taking you, that person told me to raise you well and to see you as my own. However, your name was not allowed to be decided by me. It had to be Chu Feng."

"That's…"

At that moment, Chu Feng was shocked in his heart. Although he knew his parents were powerful experts but still he could easily see the fear in Chu Yuan's eyes. As for the name he already remembered since his birth that is name was decided by his loving mother.

When he thought of the male who asked Chu Yuan the same question several times, it was not hard for Chu Feng to think that his biological father might also be surnamed Chu. As for why he entrusted him to Chu Yuan, it was very possible that the man did not want Chu Feng to change his surname.

"How could I dare to refuse at that time? Naturally, I promised him."

"However, he gave out a few demands. It was that I could not tell you where you came from, nor could I say that you were my own son. I had to tell you, from the start, that you were my foster son. The most important thing was that I could not do anything harmful to you and I had to let you grow up healthily."

"If anyone of the demands were violated, there would only be one ending. It was that he would exterminate the entire Chu family and not leave anything."

Chu Yuan spoke the truth and finally, Chu Feng knew why Chu Yuan never spoke about Chu Feng's ancestry if he never asked and also why Chu Yuan would be so uneasy or even fearful when Chu Feng asked about his ancestry. It was because someone was always threatening him.

"Father, do you know what that person was called and if there were any special signs on his body?" Chu Feng seriously asked because hiddenly, he exited that he finally had some information over his parents.

"He did not say what he was called, but on his forehead, there was indeed a strange birthmark. It was like a flame and it was extremely weird." Chu Yuan replied.

"Father, did he say anything after that? Did he mention my parents?"

"Nothing. He did not tell me anything about your parents."

"Then why did you say that he could not possibly be my father?"

Hearing those words, Chu Yuan closed his eyes and took a deep breath. Only then did he slowly spoke, "It was because after handing you over to me, it was like a heavy burden was removed. He quickly changed into a completely different person and started to yell towards the sky like he was insane."

"I still deeply remember the insane words that he said that day."

"What did he say?" Chu Feng was unable to wait.

"He yelled towards the sky: You've seen it right? I already did what you told me to do. Can you let me go!? I beg you, let me go!!!"

On Chu Yuan's face, a stunned expression was still hung there as if the scene that year reappeared in front of his eyes.

Chu Feng could also tell that what happened that day really hugely affected Chu Yuan psychologically. An unerasable shadow was left deep within his heart.

Seeing Chu Yuan like that, Chu Feng also sank into deep thought. He knew that what Chu Yuan said was correct. That insane man shouldn't have been his father or else he would not have said such strange, insane words.

It could even be said that he was forced by someone. He was extremely terrified of the person that forced him, and that person was very likely Chu Feng's father surnamed Chu.

However, that man was already so shockingly strong. How strong would the person that could force the man and even made him so terrified be?

"Where did I come from?" At that instant, within Chu Feng's heart, those were the biggest questions. The more he understood, the more he discovered that his identity was so special. Something must have been hidden behind that.

"Father, what next? Did that person say else anything to you?" Chu Feng closely asked.

"After that, he disappeared. I didn't see where or how he left. If it wasn't because I was carrying you, I really would have suspected if he actually appeared or not. But the facts told me that everything was real."

"As for me, I brought you back to the Chu family. Because the goods were burnt and my men were killed yet I could not say the truth, I could only lie then and say that I picked you up on the road."

"But after knowing what happened, the family did not approve of me raising you and felt that you were bad luck."

"However, today, I have only treated you like your real brother Chu Guyu. It's just that by telling the truth to you, I wonder if that person will…" Speaking to that point, the worry on Chu Yuan's face became even stronger.

After all, that person's strength was too terrifying. Chu Yuan did not even know whether that person could hear it or not when he said all that. He felt that he was always in danger and that person could appear at any time. However, being asked by his son, he really could not bear to lie and hide the truth from his son, Chu Feng.

Because up until now, he who knew the truth was very clear that Chu Feng's scary talent was brought when he was born. After all, his ancestry must be filled with legendary Godly figures.

"Father, don't worry. I feel like that person would most likely not look for you. I think that my family will never want my father and brother, who had raised me to be murdered."

"Besides, even if he returns, you still have me. Since he entrusted me to you, he would not harm me."

Chu Feng couldn't help but felt a sense of pride over the strength of his parents.

...

And finally, after spending two weeks with his father and brother, Chu Feng decided to leave for the Vermilion Bird City and continue to explore the Emperor's tomb.
