Chapter 137: Let Off Way Too Lightly

All the lights were on in Feng Manor, making it as bright as day . There was a corpse on the floor in the study . Feng Xiang and his family stood to one side, looking at the shattered body .

“So, this is Feng Tianlan’s body?” Feng Xiupei walked over to the corpse and kicked it a few times to vent her anger . She hadn’t had a single day of peace since her beating in public with the paddle . Now, Feng Tianlan had died, just like that . Feng Xiupei felt that she’d been let off way too lightly .

“Is it really her?” Feng Xiang looked at the corpse and was a little surprised . Feng Tianlan seemed like such a hardy person who wouldn’t die so easily .

“Pei’er, the face is completely disfigured . Are you able to confirm it’s her?” Xu Jiayi was also suspicious . Somehow, she also didn’t think Feng Tianlan could die this easily .

“She always liked wearing white, and the hairstyle matches, too . As for the face…” Feng Xiupei described in detail her battle with Feng Tianlan . She figured that Feng Tianlan’s face had become so disfigured because she’d been badly cut by the Silver Silk Net . The wounds were very small and matched the net .

Furthermore, she was sure that, as an Advanced-stage Spiritual Master, it wasn’t difficult to kill a Spiritualist . Plus, she’d fallen down such a deep ravine that she couldn’t have survived .

But then, she also thought of how Feng Tianlan had managed to attack her with such force just before she died . She immediately frowned . Given Feng Tianlan’s potential, if she hadn’t gotten rid of her, Feng Tianlan would have certainly caught up with her and become a threat .

But her potential wasn’t important anymore . Now, she was just a corpse .

After hearing her description, Feng Xiang nodded, satisfied with the answer . He asked, “As long as it’s her, then it’s good . Did you manage to find the treasure, then?”

Under such conditions, he definitely believed that Feng Tianlan should have died .

“Father, take a look at this . See if it is the treasure,” Feng Xiupei held up the seal for Feng Xiang to inspect .

Feng Xiuyu angrily kicked the corpse then ran over to Feng Xiang with her eyes opened wide .

“You mean this is the treasure? It doesn’t look like anything special . ”

The word ‘treasure’ was an over-exaggeration, right? This was just a normal seal .

Feng Xiang turned the seal over and saw a phoenix intricately carved into it . He remembered, a long time ago, when he had secretly watched from a corner as his late wife had held this item . She’d said that it could command Spiritual Emperors and more .

“Feng Clan Seal?” Feng Xiang saw the word ‘Feng’ carved into it, and his eyes turned cold .

He had never had this seal in his possession, which had created problems when he’d become the head of the family . There were some guards who’d refused to obey or pledge allegiance to him without proof of this seal .

“Father, what treasure is this?” Feng Xiuyu asked curiously . She couldn’t see why this thing was special or understand why her father insisted it was a treasure .

“My dear?” Xu Jiayi was also unable to contain her curiosity .

Feng Xiang turned the seal over in his hands several times before finally responding, “This seal identifies its owner as the head of the Feng clan . It can also command Spiritual Emperors . As for its other powers, I’m not sure . I’ll have to take some time to find out slowly . ”

He had looked high and low for the Feng Clan Seal for years . Now, he finally knew that it had been sent out of the family as a marriage token . That woman had been wary of him even on her deathbed . He suddenly had an urge to dig her body up and whip it hard .

If he’d had this seal back then, he wouldn’t have had to keep Feng Tianlan alive until now . Nor would he have had to stay in South Winds Nation . He could have overthrown the emperor long ago, and not have to constantly be forced to go along with everything the emperor said .

Xu Jiayi was relieved when she saw how certain he was that this was the treasure that they were after . She said, “Since you’ve got the treasure now, you don’t have to take a concubine, right?”
