Kai Feng didn't know what to say after Chain Hai said that he already investigated Kai Chen's death whether it was an accident or not. Even if he was lying no one would dare to question him.

"Uncle Chen I would never dare to such a sinful act as to kill someone weaker than me. I'm not someone who would harrassed others, I just throw a weak punch at him but since Kai Chen was too weak to defend against the punch and died. I should have held my power in check. I truly feel guilty for killing Kai Chen." Zha Nan was truly a good actor.

He didn't hesitate to say that he feel guilty about killing Kai Chen. Not only that he was slandering Kai Chen for being weak. Lying through his teeth though he used all his strength during the match without holding back.

"He should have properly trained before thinking about entering the Prism Phoenix Academy." Zha Nan said as if it was Kai Chen's fault.

Kai Feng gritted his teeth and became silent. He also didn't want things to escalate.

When the situation got awkward Chain Xudan, the second daughter of Chain Hai stepped forward to light her incense sticks. The sickly girl said in a quiet voice, "Bro...Brother Chen, I'm sorry, because of my cousin's carelessness you lost your life. ...Even If he unknowingly killed you, I, Chain Xudan will personally apologize to you. ...May your soul... rest in peace."

Although the little girl spoke in halting bursts, even while she lacked the proper amount of breath to do so, she was sincere and quite serious. Her words were not just some empty bluffs, they showed her sincere feelings. These words caused all the Chain Ho clan's members who were acting great and mighty to feel slightly ashamed of their actions including Chain Hai.

Zha Nan wouldn't dare to say anything to Chain Xudan, he could only curse his luck at her behavior towards Kai Chen. Maybe because she could relate to Kai Chen as they have many things in common. Weak in cultivation, having a loving father, and the most important fact that she was also slowly dying due to her disease.

"Xudan, the guy's dead already, and I already said that it was just an accident, there's no point in saying all this. You should care about recovering your health not dying. He was just a commoner, his life was not as precious as yours." Zha nan said in a honey-like sweet tone. But his words were as vicious as poison.

Meanwhile, Xian Ji was striving mightily to control his anger.

He was desperately afraid of revealing his anger at an inappropriate time. He was about to explode and punch Zha Nan when Kai Chen sprang into a sitting position and said in a cold tone, " Oh! Young master Nan, You shouldn't say such cruel things about a dead person. Saying my life was not worthy enough! Do you see every people who are below you as insects!?"

Kai Chen decided to stop playing dead. How could one continue to lie down when such an amusing event was happening? However, Kai Chen's action froze everyone solid for a good couple of seconds including his father.

'Chen'er, what did you do my son, revealing that you were faking your death will cause a huge commotion. How am I able to deal with this situation?' His father thought.

Xian Ji was the closest to him and was absolutely overjoyed, "Brother Kai were you pretending to be a corpse or playing dead?!"

"Pretending my ass. Do you think I was playing dead? Why don't you receive a blow from the 5th layer of the mortal realm cultivator and then let's see if you will be alive to say this!"

Zha Nan's face froze when he saw Kai Chen suddenly sit up. He was shocked at how he survived his attack. But he immediately proclaimed, "Kai Chen, so you were alive all along. How dare you pretend to be dead! You have not only deceived me but the entire Chain ho clan and duke Chain Hai himself. You have committed treason! You and your family clan should be executed!"

Kai Chen was too lazy to pay any attention to Zha Nan, and slowly pulled himself out of the coffin and stretched his body.

He walked forward to Chain Hai and asked, "My lord, I was lucky and escaped death. I merely wish to ask, do you intend to say I'm a criminal because I didn't die. my intention was not to cheat you, will you forgive your subject's unintentional crimes?" Chain Hai was at the peak of the Spirit realm. In front of Chain Hai, even a strong cultivator shivered in fear but this Kai Chen was calm as if he did not know what fear was?

Chain Hai was the leader of the Chain ho province but his strong heart skipped a beat when Kai Chen swept his gaze over him. This youth that had climbed out of a coffin had a mysterious, indefinable quality about him that made even him a bit wary.

Seeing Kai Chen didn't bow in front of him to pay respect also made him a little angry. The elders saw Chain Hai's annoyance toward Kai Chen and made a move in Zha Nan's favor, "My lord, this devious rat was playing dead to frame master Nan. We should execute him immediately. This treacherous intention is worthy of a death sentence! His actions should judge harshly and exact justice."

"Kai Chen, What is the meaning of this? Just what were you trying to accomplish here with faking your death?" Chain Hai said in a heavy voice.

Other Chain Ho clan's elders laughed coldly while seeing Kai Feng and said, "Kai Feng, don't you find it odd that your son has arisen from the dead? I suspect you were also involved in misleading the lord.

I petition Lord Hai to thoroughly investigate this Kai father and son duo. Maybe we should investigate the whole Dragon Claw clan. They were trying to frame the young master to blackmail him. If I speak the truth, then the entire dragon claw clan should be executed."

The elder was trying to curry favor with Zha Nan since his family's wealth was not any less inferior to the Chain Ho clan.
