At the sound of Feng Tianlan’s voice, Qi Hongan raised his head. His face was dirty. Due to the absence of spiritual force, he aged ten years within a short period of time. He looked at her. “You are Feng Tianlan. You are not from the Shang Family. How did you know what happened to the Shang Family? Who told you that?”
After that incident, he figured out that Feng Tianlan was really from the Feng Family of South Peace City. It was impossible for her to be the remaining evil spawn of the Shang Family, the same goes for Luo Yunzhu.
However, when his evil deeds had been exposed, he didn’t think deeply and thought they much be from the Shang Family since they knew about the Galaxy Whip. Thinking about it now, he had been making assumptions back then.
“It’s me.” Shang Chengle who was standing by her side gritted his teeth and stared at Qi Hongan with bloodshot eyes. His gaze looked murderous as if he wanted to bust open the prison door, lunge at him, and bite him to death.
At the sound of that voice, Qi Hongan’s gaze turned slightly from Feng Tianlan to Shang Chengle. Looking at the gaze filled with hatred, he felt confused. “Small Five?”
Small Five had been an orphan he found on the sea nine years ago. He thought that his talent and foundation were not bad. Besides, he insisted on becoming a disciple of the Flying Frost Pavilion. That tenacity made him believe that Small Five would become a strong warrior and a useful pawn one day. Since he was going to be his fifth disciple, he named him Small Five.
“Small Five, are you here to save your master?” He had once saved Small Five’s life, so he now looked at him with hope in his eyes.
Shang Chengle sneered. He stared at him with his hard eyes. “That’s right, master. I am here to save you.”
“That’s great. You are the only one with a conscience around here. Small Five, save me quickly…” Qi Hongan stood up with joy and clung to the prison door tightly. However, he saw Shang Chengle scraping away the layer of skin covering his face bit by bit, revealing his scar. He pulled the mask outwards.
Looking at what Shang Chengle was doing, Feng Tianlan could feel the sensation on her face as well, like she was back in her previous life and Jiang Ying was peeling the skin on her face bit by bit in the same way. It was that sort of biting sensation. As she thought about it, her face started aching, causing her to lower her head and dare not look up again.
When Shang Chengle removed his entire human skin mask, the expression of excitement and hope on Qi Hongan’s face changed. “You…You are…”
Shang Chengle sneered as he covered the other half of his scarred face with his hand and said faintly. “Master, do you recognize me now?”
Looking at the unscarred half of his face, Qi Hongan suddenly fell to the ground. “Clan elder!”
That half of his face looked similar to the Shang clan elder’s. It was so similar like he was looking at the younger version of him.
Shang Chengle sneered. “So you know that my father was the clan elder.”
“You…”
“I am Shang Chengle, the only survivor of the Shang Family.” Click. The prison door was unlocked. Shang Chengle rushed in and grabbed Qi Hongan by his shirt. He stared at him with his bloodshot eyes. “Can you see clearly now? I am Shang Chengle, the sole survivor. I am the only survivor from that sea of flames, hidden under the burning beam, Shang Chengle.”
After hearing these words, Qi Hongan felt as if he had been transported back to the day when the Shang Family was exterminated. There was indeed such a person. However, what could he do even if he was alive now? “No, you are not Shang Chengle. You are my disciple, Small Five. I saved you before. I brought you up over the past ten years as your foster father. You can’t treat me like this. You are committing treason. You are treacherous. You will be punished by the gods.”
“As long as I can get my revenge, so what if I am punished by the gods?” Shang Chengle sneered. “I have been practicing a method of torturing someone by cutting him into a thousand pieces for ten years just for my revenge, I can finally use it now.”
