255: Chapter 255 A chilling thought! The forcibly erased causal memories!
Su Feng stepped out of the Void Realm; he didn't immediately go to the place where the Crystal Coffin was sealed.
Instead, he arrived at the Empress's quiet little courtyard.
At this moment, the Empress was sitting cross-legged under that giant Innate Weeping Willow, surrounded by mysterious ripples of the Great Dao.
After this period of settling, her figure had fully matured.
Although she didn't have the plump, mature womanly curves of Cang Yue, this initial stage of the [Heaven-Devouring Demonic Body] had well-proportioned and tight curves, exuding a deadly wildness and cold elegance.
However, at this moment, Su Feng was in no mood to appreciate the beautiful scenery before him.
He strode towards the weeping willow, directly grabbed the Empress's fair and slender wrist, and pulled her outside.
"You... what are you doing?!"
The Empress, who was in the middle of the Fusion of the nine Origins, her body suddenly stiffened.
Feeling the warm and domineering force from her wrist, she instinctively struggled, trying to break free from Su Feng's grip.
"I have a question for you now!"
Seeing the Empress's resistance, Su Feng stopped abruptly, turned around to look into her eyes, but his hand tightened, showing no intention of letting go.
"What... what question?"
Stared at by Su Feng's eyes, for some reason, a flicker of panic flashed through the Empress's heart, and she instinctively looked away.
"Do you still remember everything that happened when you and Su Yuan ascended from the Qianji Realm to the Reception Dao Platform in the Yuchuan Realm?"
Su Feng stared intently at the Empress's beautiful face, not missing any subtle changes in her expression, trying to find the answer he wanted from her face.
"How could I not remember? At that time..."
The Empress's words stopped halfway.
In her originally cold dark-gold eyes, a sudden flash of intense struggle and confusion appeared.
She suddenly turned her head to meet Su Feng's eyes, her breathing becoming somewhat hurried.
Seeing her reaction, a cold light flashed in Su Feng's eyes.
"Just as I thought!!"
"The Karma line... there's actually an unknown power that can interfere with my Karma line!"
The Empress was horrified to find that her memory of the day of Ascension was actually missing a piece!
She clearly remembered that something very important happened that day, and even remembered having intense emotional fluctuations at the time.
But now that she thought back carefully, her mind seemed to be covered in a layer of gray mist, and she couldn't remember what the missing part was at all!
She could only blame her current strength for being too weak, merely in the Golden Immortal Realm.
If she still possessed the heaven-defying cultivation of her previous life as an Extreme Dao Great Emperor, it would have been as difficult as climbing to heaven to affect her Karma line without her noticing!
"What Su Mo brought back..." Su Feng looked at her self-doubting appearance and subtly spoke a few words as a hint.
Hearing the name "Su Mo."
A burst of piercing blood-red light instantly erupted in the Empress's eyes!
She didn't hesitate to use her Divine Soul power to forcibly strike the layer of Karma mist in her mind.
"The polluting aura of the Realm Demons..."
"A rectangular... coffin..."
The Empress clutched her head in pain, instinctively murmuring those broken fragments.
A moment later.
"Boom!"
The mist was forcibly torn apart by the Divine Soul. The Empress's eyes instantly cleared from confusion!
"It's that Crystal Coffin!!!"
After saying those words, the Empress felt a chill run down her back, and cold sweat instantly soaked her inner garments.
"That thing... can actually quietly tamper with memories and Karma even while being sealed?!"
Su Feng didn't explain, because even he, a cheater with the System, felt a chill in his heart at this moment.
He just exerted force with his hand, continuing to tighten his grip on the Empress's wrist.
"Come with me!"
This time, the Empress didn't put up any more resistance.
She understood too well the horror of Karma being tampered with. Letting Su Feng lead her tightly, the figures of the two instantly merged into the Void Realm.
The next second.
The two crossed space directly and appeared inside Su Yuan's Shadow Pavilion.
"Oh? Brother Feng? How do you have time to come here to inspect the work?"
Su Yuan, who was sitting with his legs crossed calculating accounts, was first stunned to see the two appearing out of thin air. Then, when he saw Su Feng's large hand still tightly holding the Empress's wrist, his habit of being a smart-aleck, which was ingrained in his bones, acted up again.
"Tsk tsk tsk, Jiuyou, it's only been how long since we last met, and you've already held my big brother's hand? Even with fingers interlaced. It seems you really want to be my sister-in-law?" Su Yuan was still as nonchalant as ever.
Hearing this, the Empress's face, which was already heavy because of the Crystal Coffin, instantly turned as black as the bottom of a pot.
She coldly broke free from Su Feng's large hand and walked slowly to Su Yuan's desk without saying a word.
"Bang—!"
A dull sound of a heavy blow rang out!
Without any nonsense, the Empress delivered a clean and swift punch, hitting Su Yuan hard in the stomach.
"Wa—!"
Poor Su Yuan didn't even have time to open his defense shield. His whole body was hit and arched into the shape of a cooked shrimp, crashing heavily into the spirit wood wall behind him.
"Cough cough... Holy crap! You... you're not playing fair..."
Su Yuan clutched his stomach, kneeling on the ground and coughing painfully.
This habit of his mouth probably wouldn't be fixed anytime soon.
"We came here because we have something to ask you."
Su Feng ignored the matter between the two of them. He strode to Su Yuan and asked seriously:
"Do you still remember who was present when you ascended from the Qianji Realm and met me at the Reception Dao Platform in the Yuchuan Realm?"
Although Su Yuan was beaten quite badly, he was, after all, an expert close to the Golden Immortal Realm. Coupled with his special Physique, he adjusted after taking two deep breaths.
He rubbed his stomach, showing natural confusion, and replied smoothly:
"I remember. I brought Jiuyou, my nephew Su Hao brought sister-in-law Mingyue, and that kid Su Mo had bad luck; he was ambushed and heavily injured by a group of old Devil Heads in the Lower Realm and ascended on his own by persevering. At that time, it was you, Brother Feng, and Sister Yue'e who personally greeted us at the platform."
Hearing this "complete and reasonable" answer.
Su Feng and the Empress exchanged a tacit look.
In this moment, both of them understood everything perfectly.
"Do you remember... specifically how Su Mo was injured at that time?" Su Feng's eyes became even deeper as he continued to press.
"Of course I remember."
Su Yuan said naturally without even thinking: "That kid was too single-minded. He trained in the Small World for five whole years, but in the end, he didn't even find his target. When he was finally preparing to break through for Ascension, he was ambushed by those old monsters from the Foreign Tribes in the Lower Realm who had been eyeing him for a long time."
Speaking of this.
Su Yuan's mind suddenly took a sharp turn.
The ease and nonchalance on his face instantly vanished, as he keenly sensed an abnormal sense of incongruity.
"Wait... that's not right, Brother Feng!"
Su Yuan suddenly stood up straight, staring into Su Feng's eyes with a furrowed brow: "How could you not remember something like this? Why would you specifically come to ask me?"
Su Yuan was indeed the ancestor of intelligence gathering.
Although the memory of the "Crystal Coffin" in his mind had been tampered with by that mysterious force.
Through Su Feng's abnormal behavior and his own keen intuition, he instantly deduced that there was definitely a huge problem!
"Brother Feng, is there something wrong? What are you testing?!" Su Yuan asked solemnly.
Seeing Su Yuan react so quickly, the Empress was about to speak but was stopped by Su Feng raising his hand.
"Nothing's wrong. You were just beaten silly and had hallucinations. Go back to your intelligence work."
Su Feng casually brushed it off.
He knew that the matter of the Crystal Coffin was likely far more complicated than he imagined.
With Su Yuan's current Realm, the more he knew, the more dangerous it would be for him in the unseen.
After saying that, Su Feng turned around, naturally grabbed the Empress's wrist again, and brought her to vanish from the Shadow Pavilion headquarters instantly.
"No... there's definitely a problem! Brother Feng's eyes just now weren't right!"
Inside the office.
Su Yuan clutched his stomach, his brows furrowed into a deep frown, lost in thought.
"There must be something important, but damn it... what exactly is it?!"
