Chapter 2007: The Vicious Feng Xingkong

"One hour? That's enough."

After Wei Wentong was pricked by the silver needles, his Origin Qi seemed to become much more abundant, and even his voice grew louder.

He looked gratefully at Ye Bufan, "Little fellow, this Old Man thanks you."

Seeing that the respected Old Man, the Headmaster, had only one hour left, even the straightforward Nalan Yujia couldn't help but feel a pang of sadness.

"Nalan girl, there's nothing to be sad about. Everyone eventually dies, and besides, I, this Old Man, am deeply sinful, so my death is not to be regretted!"

As Wei Wentong spoke, a strong sense of guilt flashed across his face.

"As the Headmaster of Cangfeng Academy, I, Wei Wentong, have always acted with integrity throughout my life. It's just a pity that in my later years, I made a grave mistake. This is the only thing I can't let go of before I die."

He looked at Nalan Yujia and said, "Nalan girl, can you do me a favor? It would be like helping me, this Old Man, fulfill my last wish."

Nalan Yujia nodded, "Headmaster, please speak!"

"If you have time, go to Lingxiao Academy. Even if the Academy is no longer there, anyone from Lingxiao Academy would be fine. It would be best if you could find Headmaster Li Daoran and apologize to him on my behalf.

I, Wei Wentong, know my sins are profound. If there is a next life, I will work like an ox or a horse to atone for myself!"

Ye Bufan had been watching from the side. From these words, it could be confirmed that Wei Wentong was indeed responsible for the sneak attack on Lingxiao Academy back then, but there were also unknown hidden circumstances.

Li Qingzhu was completely confused by this. Li Daoran had never even told her about what happened back then, so she didn't know what was going on.

Chu Lingxi said, "Headmaster, there's no need for such trouble. The new Headmaster of Lingxiao Academy is right in front of you. You can say whatever you want directly."

"What? You're saying this Little fellow is the Headmaster of Lingxiao Academy?"

Wei Wentong followed everyone's gaze to Ye Bufan, his face filled with shock.

Hu Yaoyao said, "That's right. Now Headmaster Li Daoran is an Elder of the Academy, and the new Headmaster is Xiao Age."

"It's really like this. It seems Heaven is giving me a chance to confess in person."

Wei Wentong's beard trembled, and he was incredibly agitated. He even struggled to his feet and knelt before Ye Bufan.

"I, Wei Wentong, confess my sins to Lingxiao Academy. You can kill or dismember me; I, this Old Man, will not have a single word of complaint!"

At this, everyone present was stunned, not understanding what was going on.

Nalan Yujia quickly pulled Wei Wentong up, "Headmaster, what exactly is going on?"

"I am guilty! I let Lingxiao Academy down!"

Overwhelmed with emotion, Wei Wentong couldn't help but shed tears.

Ye Bufan asked, "Headmaster Wei, was there another hidden reason for what happened back then?"

Wei Wentong cried out in guilt, "It was all that bastard Feng Xingkong! He captured my Granddaughter and forced this Old Man. I was momentarily confused and committed such an unforgivable act…"

Ye Bufan said, "Headmaster Wei, what exactly happened? Please explain clearly."

Wei Wentong took a deep breath, calmed his agitated emotions, and then slowly began to recount the story.

It turned out that Feng Xingkong was the mastermind behind everything back then. This fellow had always coveted the position of Headmaster of Cangfeng Academy and secretly kidnapped Wei Wentong's Granddaughter, Wei Linger.

Using her as a threat, he first forced Wei Wentong to put Meridian Dissolving Powder into Lingxiao Academy's food and then led people to carry out a deadly attack.

Wei Wentong had lost his son early in life and only had this one Granddaughter to depend on. Under duress, he finally chose to compromise.

In fact, he had secretly held back, otherwise Li Daoran would not have been able to escape.

At this point, the Old Man again choked up, "Although I was forced, I still let down Lingxiao Academy and Li Daoran. I deserve to die ten thousand times over!"

Nalan Yujia cursed, "That damn Feng Xingkong, that beast in human skin, that dog! Next time, I'll twist his head off!"

Lu Xueman asked, "Headmaster, what happened after that? Why were you imprisoned here?"

Wei Wentong said, "At that time, I still overestimated Feng Xingkong's humanity. I helped him do such a heinous thing, but he still used my Granddaughter's life as a threat, sealed my cultivation, and then trapped me here."

"What was his purpose in doing that?" Hu Yaoyao asked in surprise, "If he just wanted you to transfer your cultivation to that scoundrel Feng Tianxiang, why didn't he make the demand then and there? Why drag it out for so long?"

"It seems you don't understand the art of Body Integration."

Wei Wentong said, "Ten years ago, Feng Tianxiang was too young and his cultivation too low. Even if I had given him Body Integration, the effect wouldn't have been optimal.

Feng Xingkong's idea was to wait until his nephew's cultivation reached the Void Refining Realm, and then, under my Body Integration, he would reach the Body Integration Stage in one go.

That's why he kept me imprisoned here for so many years.

Three years ago, he brought Feng Tianxiang to me, wanting me to give his nephew Body Integration.

I asked to see my Granddaughter at the time, but he kept making excuses and never let us meet. That's when I suspected my Granddaughter might have met a terrible end.

But at that time, it was just a guess; it was only confirmed today."

As he spoke of his Granddaughter's death, the Old Man shed another stream of muddy tears.

"Linger was a child with a bitter fate. I failed to take good care of her; I let down her parents."

Chu Lingxi asked, "Headmaster, what secret method of cultivation did you use before? If you had such a method, why didn't you use it earlier?"

"This technique of dispersing cultivation was something I stumbled upon in a ruin. Originally, I just casually picked it up to look at it, never expecting that it would eventually be used on me, this Old Man.

That Formation Plate of Feng Xingkong's is very powerful; it can suppress my cultivation, but it only prevents me from unleashing it. It cannot stop me from using this secret technique to destroy my Dantian and all my Meridians.

The reason I didn't disperse my cultivation until today was because I didn't know Linger's safety at the time; I thought she was still alive and well.

If that were the case, once I died, she would inevitably suffer at Feng Xingkong's hands. That's why I dragged it out until now."

Wei Wentong sighed at this point, and a hint of satisfaction appeared on his face.

"Dispersing the Dantian and destroying the hundred Meridians—such injuries cannot be saved even by immortals.

Well, after suffering for ten years, I am finally going to leave. For me, this is also a form of liberation."

Speaking of this, he turned his head to look at Ye Bufan beside him, "I let down Lingxiao Academy. Please apologize to my old brother Li Daoran for me. This Old Man will atone in the next life.

Oh, and after I die, please use your unique fire to burn my bones. Absolutely do not think about taking my body to seek justice.

Feng Xingkong is absolutely a despicable villain. Once you take my body out, he will definitely turn the tables and say you killed me, which will bring you immense trouble.

If you have a chance, it's best to kill him directly!"

Upon mentioning Feng Xingkong, a bone-deep hatred flashed in Wei Wentong's eyes, and then he slowly closed them, his life force extinguished.
