Chapter 1295: The Terrifying Truth

In the small town's tavern.

By now, the place was already deserted, with only Yi Feng and Gui Wanhai remaining.

Staring at the familiar yet unfamiliar face, Gui Wanhai was filled with tension and shock, no longer as carefree and relaxed as before. He stood there dumbfounded for a long time, not daring to make a sound, his eyes filled with astonishment!

It wasn't until Yi Feng spoke up and invited him.

"Brother Gui?"

"Why are you still standing? Let's sit down and have a drink."

The familiar words now carried an even deeper sense of awe!

After such a battle, Yi Feng remained calm and composed, truly embodying the demeanor of a master.

At this moment.

Gui Wanhai finally understood why Yi Feng had shown no restraint when they first met. The friends he had brought along before had also mentioned that Yi Feng was no ordinary person.

It turned out that this friend of his possessed such terrifying strength!

How laughable it was that he had once thought himself magnanimous for befriending Yi Feng regardless of his background, even feeling moved by the purity of their friendship. He had even considered bestowing some opportunity upon Yi Feng...

Now it seemed that it was Yi Feng who didn't care about such things, and it was he who had been granted an opportunity by Yi Feng.

With just a casual gesture, Yi Feng had resolved his life-and-death crisis!

He had truly overestimated himself...

The more he thought about it, the more ashamed and embarrassed he felt.

Despite the immense favor, Gui Wanhai was too humiliated to speak, awkwardly clasping his fists without uttering a word.

Seeing this, Yi Feng laughed heartily and spoke up.

"Brother Gui, you seem a bit shy today, not as carefree as usual. We haven't finished our drinks yet. If you try to skip out on the bill, I won't let it slide."

The familiar words touched Gui Wanhai deeply.

Despite his immense power, Yi Feng had never shown a hint of arrogance. He had even lowered himself to befriend Gui Wanhai, and after saving his life, he hadn't said a word about it...

Such a noble character was truly admirable.

To have such a powerful figure as a close friend in this lifetime was an immense honor, a blessing bestowed by Yi Feng.

Gui Wanhai's brows relaxed, and he sat down, moved.

"Thank you, Brother Yi!"

"As long as Brother Yi wishes to drink, I will gladly keep you company!"

Yi Feng also laughed and responded cheerfully.

"Good!"

Now free from any worries, the two drank by the sunlit window, and the atmosphere became harmonious once more, just as relaxed and carefree as when they first met.

Seeing Brother Gui regain his carefree demeanor, Yi Feng admired this rich second-generation even more. This was a true friend, a confidant bound by pure friendship.

Glancing at the mess on the floor, Yi Feng remembered his earlier curiosity and asked.

"Brother Gui."

"I'm a bit curious, why did you provoke so many sea clans?"

Hearing this, Gui Wanhai put down his cup and sighed.

"Well..."

"At this point, there's no need to hide my identity anymore. Actually, I am the son of the Sea Lord!"

"My father hasn't appeared for tens of thousands of years, and the various factions of my clan have been restless. Recently, my father's cave was forcibly entered and destroyed, yet he still hasn't shown up, as if he's vanished from the world. This has only emboldened them further."

"So, they revealed their true colors, gathering the old monsters from various clans to kill me, the Sea Lord's son, so they could rightfully compete for the Sea Lord's position and control over the sea!"

"Before, they wouldn't dare come ashore, as the Divine Hall wouldn't allow such behavior. But now, the Divine Hall has been destroyed by a mysterious figure and is in no position to stop them, which is why they chased me here."

"If it weren't for Brother Yi's righteous assistance, I would have died here. I can't thank you enough. If there's anything you need in the future, just say the word!"

With everything settled, Gui Wanhai decided to reveal all the hidden truths.

Speaking his mind felt relieving, and all his emotions were finally laid to rest. His words were filled with sincerity and deep gratitude towards Yi Feng.

After hearing this, Yi Feng's expression turned a bit awkward.

He never expected...

The rich second-generation he had been drinking with all this time was actually the son of the Sea Lord. This was completely unexpected. Thinking back to some previous events, it was enough to make one's toes curl in embarrassment!

Gui Wanhai waited for a response, but seeing Yi Feng's increasingly awkward expression, he couldn't help but ask curiously.

"Brother Yi?"

Looking at Gui Wanhai's puzzled gaze, Yi Feng had no choice but to grit his teeth and rub his nose.

"Thank you for your honesty, Brother Gui."

"Actually, I have something to say too, but it might not be easy to hear..."

Gui Wanhai laughed and poured more wine.

"Hahaha."

"Brother Yi, why are you being so shy? Between us, there's no need for any reservations, unless you no longer wish to be friends with me."

Hearing this, Yi Feng had no choice but to quietly reveal the truth.

"Well..."

"Actually, I was the one who broke your door, and I was the one who messed up your father's palace..."

As soon as the words left his mouth.

Gui Wanhai's hand, holding the wine jug, froze in mid-air.

He looked up, completely stunned!

Even as the wine spilled over, filling the table with its aroma, he still couldn't react.

Under Gui Wanhai's stunned gaze.

Yi Feng's words continued.

"The destruction of the Divine Hall was also my doing."

Gui Wanhai's eyes widened in shock, and his hand holding the wine jug trembled slightly!

Hearing the jug creak, Yi Feng felt even more embarrassed and tried to explain as gently as possible.

"If I'm not mistaken..."

"Overall, that's the gist of it. Because I destroyed the Divine Hall, the Land of Fallen Gods fell into chaos. Then, due to certain reasons, I broke your door, and that's why the sea clans came after you."

"Your life-threatening crisis was actually caused by me."

Hearing this.

Gui Wanhai was struck as if by lightning, his body going limp, and the wine jug fell, shattering on the ground!

"Crash!"

With that sound, his mind began to buzz!

What the hell...

So, everything was set in motion by Brother Yi? The inexplicable upheaval, the chaos among humans and sea clans, all caused by this man's casual actions?

Just one person had stirred up such turmoil across Lan Star!

In the face of such chaos, even he, the son of the Sea Lord, was like a helpless weed, nearly losing his life. This catastrophe was unprecedented.

To be able to cause such a terrifying situation, what kind of power and cultivation must one possess?

Brother Yi, his friend, had reached such heights!

The truth was far more shocking than any imagination!

Completely stunned!

Gui Wanhai was utterly dumbfounded, his face a picture of disbelief. He couldn't snap out of it. What he had just heard was far beyond his understanding and knowledge!

After who knows how long...

Gui Wanhai was still in a daze, but he finally managed to react a bit, his throat moving as he looked over.

Yi Feng then continued to explain, his expression full of embarrassment.

"Brother Gui."

"This is all my fault. Although I didn't mean to harm you, and I had my reasons for visiting your father, breaking your door was unavoidable. But the consequences are all because of me, and I won't shirk responsibility."

Gui Wanhai swallowed a few times before finally letting out a long breath.

"Ha..."

"Brother Yi, you don't need to blame yourself too much. You've already saved me, so let's not bring this up again. As for my father's palace, it's just a material thing, not worth mentioning. He hasn't shown up, so I don't care anymore."

"However, with the Land of Fallen Gods in chaos, this can't go on forever. The Star Lord has also disappeared. Brother Yi, do you know his whereabouts?"

Hearing such magnanimous words, Yi Feng also breathed a sigh of relief.

He then explained the whole situation with Nan Gong's actions, once again shocking Gui Wanhai, whose eyes widened like copper bells!

"What!"

"The Star Lord actually gave up his token? So, Brother Yi, you are now the Lord of Lan Star?!"

This was simply too shocking!

For tens of thousands of years, the Star Lord had always been appointed by the higher-ups. Never had anyone voluntarily given up their token, relinquishing the prestigious position of Star Lord to someone else.

This was simply outrageous!

And to think, he had once considered bringing this friend to the Fallen God Palace to broaden his horizons. Yet, not long after, this friend had already taken control of the Fallen God Palace?

What the hell!
