Ch220 - Mufeng's Plan

Edited by Zaki

At night, Xuanyuan Chen and Jiang Yuantu were sitting in the study and chatting.

“Yuantu, do you feel there is something strange with those two boys?” Looking at Jiang Yuantu, Xuanyuan Chen asked.

“What’s the problem?” Lowering his head and taking a sip of tea gracefully, the Third Elder replied in an unconcerned manner.

“Don’t you think it’s abnormal that both of their strengths are so stable when they have just left seclusion?” Staring at his old friend, Xuanyuan Chen asked again.

“It’s no big deal, Mufeng is an alchemist. As long as he takes some medicinal pills, his strength will naturally reach a basically stable level in a short period of time.” The Third Elder said lightly, glancing at his friend.

“Yes, I know that medicinal pills can stabilize strength, but the problem is, I thinkXiaoXu has the power of the stars.” Xuanyuan Chen frowned as he spoke this.

The Third Elder was shocked at those words, “The power of the stars? How is it possible?”

“Yeah, it’s impossible under normal circumstances, but if the two of them had left seclusion ahead of time and had visited the Well of Enlightenment, then it’s possible.” Looking at his old friend, Xuanyuan Chen said with a deep meaning.

At that, the Third Elder instinctively shook his head. “No, this is impossible. It takes 30 years in the Well of Enlightenment. They were in seclusion for 70 years and advanced to the Spiritual Emperor Realm. This speed of cultivation is already at genius level. If you subtract 30 years for the time taken in the Well of Enlightenment, that would mean they needed only 40 years to advance to the Spiritual Emperor Realm. How would that be possible?”

Looking at the old friend who had a face of disbelief, Xuanyuan Chen sighed softly. “Yeah, that’s what I can’t figure out too.”

“Perhaps there is another possibility, that is, they have been in seclusion for 40 years, used up the resources in their hands but did not succeed in advancing, so they went to the Well of Enlightenment and had an epiphany in the Well of Enlightenment, that’s why they advanced at one go.” After thinking about it, the Third Elder gave such an answer.

“En, this is also possible. There are indeed many disciples who are stuck on the edge of the big Realm and unable to advance, so they go to the Well of Enlightenment to try their luck. But I don’t think these two people are so unplanned. My disciple might be the impatient one who would run to the Well of Enlightenment to try his luck if he did not succeed in advancing to the Spiritual Emperor Realm. But that apprentice of yours is definitely not so impulsive. This kid Liu Mufeng is thoughtful and secretive, and he is very far-sighted.” Though it looked outwardly that Xuanyuan Chen disliked Liu Mufeng, he knew in his heart that Liu Mufeng was far smarter than his apprentice Jiang Xu. He also understood that ifXiaoXu hadn’t been helped by a resourceful partner like Liu Mufeng, he might not be as skilled as he was today.

“Yeah, Mufeng is not impulsive.” Nodding, the Third Elder agreed.

“I think these two boys might be hiding something from us.” After thinking about it, Xuanyuan Chen felt that their apprentices were hiding something from them.

The Third Elder laughed. “Every cultivator has his own secret. Mufeng andXiaoXu had a rough life and worked hard on their own, and came to our Zunhuang Continent from a low-level continent. It shows that their luck and strength are good. It is normal to have one or two secrets that are not known to people.”

“Mufeng told me about this later. He said it was because he bought a Demon Bead, but Lin Xue brought her two Senior Brothers to kill him and steal the treasure, so he did it.”

“Yes, I heard their conversation, and it was indeed Lin Xue and the others who had the intention to kill first. But even so, Liu Mufeng’s performance still surprised me. He was really calm and steady, not at all like a forty-something-year-old brat, much less like those first-time, obsequious cultivators from the lower continent. In him, I can always see a kind of self-confidence, the kind of self-confidence that is strategizing. It’s like when everyone is running away from everything, but his eyes can see everything.” Xuanyuan Chen’s brows furrowed even deeper as he spoke his thoughts.

“Are you afraid that Mufeng will helpXiaoXu and snatch the Young Master’s seat from Yunfei?” Looking at his old friend, Jiang Yuantu struck Xuanyuan Chen’s mind with one sentence.

“Yes,XiaoXu’s mind, thinking, routines, and skills are far inferior to Yunfei. However, Liu Mufeng is different, he is better than Yunfei. If he has the heart to compete, Yunfei is not his opponent. It would be impossible forXiaoXu to become the real person in power, he can only be Liu Mufeng’s puppet.” Xuanyuan Chen felt a little helpless at the situation.

“Don’t think so much, Mufeng won’t do that.” Looking at his old friend, the Third Elder smiled and comforted him.

At those words, Xuanyuan Chen raised his brows. “Are you so sure that he won’t take the seat?”

Looking at his old friend who had a disbelieving face, the Third Elder laughed. “Dragons fly in the sky, they don’t live in ponds. Maybe the current Lingwu Sect is a good sect for Mufeng, but one day, he will surely soar for the heavens and won’t be trapped in this side of the world.”

“That’s right, Liu Mufeng is indeed someone who would not be satisfied staying at the same place.” Xuanyuan Chen also agreed with this.

“Then what are you worried about?” The Third Elder asked with a smile.

“Hei, there are so many apprentices, there are all kinds of worries.” Speaking of this, Xuanyuan Chen was also happy.

“I bet you, after Mufeng andXiaoXu advance to the Spiritual Profound Realm, they will leave the sect and go outside to seek a wider sky. Or, they will have already left before their strength has reached the Spirit Profound Realm. ”

Xuanyuan Chen smiled as he looked at the Third Elder’s convinced face. “You know Liu Mufeng that well?”

“He’s my apprentice. Although I can’t see through him, at least I can understand him better than you.”

Xuanyuan Chen smiled. “Okay, I will bet with you, if you win, I’ll give you the treasure you’ve been thinking about.”

“Okay, if you win, I’ll give you a treasure too.”

“It’s a deal.”

As a closed-door disciple of the Sect Master, Jiang Xu’s advancement ceremony was very grand. Seventy-two Elders of the sect brought their families to the celebration, and even the two Supreme Elders sent their heirs and apprentices to send gifts to celebrate. Jiang Xu really received a lot of gifts that day.

In the evening, Jiang Xu sat on the bed, took out his gifts and fiddled with them. “Mufeng, look at this, what is this?”

Taking over a small boat that was the size of a palm from his lover’s hand, Liu Mufeng looked at it carefully. “This. This is a fifth-level transportation instrument. It can fly in the sky or sail in the sea. It can be used for both water and air.”

“En, you can keep this one. We can use this when we go out.” Nodding, Jiang Xu gave the magic weapon to his man.

“This flying instrument is indeed a good thing.” Nodding, Liu Mufeng confirmed again.

“Mufeng, look at this, this is what the First Elder gave me, it’s a level 5 magic sword.” Jiang Xu said, holding the sword in his hands, and handing it to his lover.

Looking at the sword that emitted a faint cold light, Liu Mu Feng nodded his head. “Not bad, it’s a good sword!”

“En, I finally have my own level five magic sword.” Jiang Xu was very happy with this sword. “Mufeng, this is for you.” Jiang Xu handed a whip to his lover.

Reaching out to take it, Liu Mufeng raised his brows. “This whip, who sent it?”

“Elder Qian gave it, you can tell at a glance that it wasn’t for me. It must be for you.” Jiang Xu smiled as he said this. Jiang Xu was a sword cultivator, and other magic tools were not used, but Elder Qian sent a level five whip, which was obviously meant for Mufeng.

“This magic weapon is pretty good.” Liu Mufeng nodded in satisfaction as he touched the whip in his hand.

“Yeah, it’s the most suitable for you.” The whip was soft and moderate, and it was two meters long. Jiang Xu felt that it was the most suitable for his man.

“En.” Nodding, Liu Mufeng accepted the gift.

“Mufeng, look at this, this was given by Elder Ma.” Jiang Xu handed over a jade box.

Taking it over, Liu Mufeng opened it and saw that there were 3 thousand-year-old spiritual plants inside. “En, these spiritual plants are not bad.”

“That old guy must be so angry, his face was black when he gave gifts.” Jiang XU laughed as he remembered Elder Ma’s face.

“Should have felt suffocated. In fact, even if there is no blood mark, he can guess that his Grandson was killed by us. It’s just that he has no evidence, and you are now the apprentice of the Sect Master, so he has no choice but to hold back and come to give gifts.” Liu Mufeng snorted coldly as he spoke.

“Yes, this dead old man must be very aggrieved.” Nodding, Jiang Xu said the same.

“XiaoXu, I have a plan.” Looking at the spiritual plants in his hand, Liu Mufeng narrowed his eyes.

“What plan?” Looking at his man, Jiang Xu asked curiously.

“I want to kill Elder Ma.” Looking at his wife, Liu Mufeng enunciated his words.

“Kill him? However, our strength is only in the Spiritual Emperor Realm, and he is in the Spiritual Sect Realm, right?” Jiang Xu felt that the difference in strength was too great, and the opponent was too strong.

“You can’t kill him with strength. I want to kill him with my Master’s jade pendant.” Master was the strength of the nine stars in the Spiritual Venerable Realm, and the Master’s jade pendant was the most suitable for killing Elder Ma who was in the Spiritual Sect Realm.

“En, this is a good solution, but the question is where to kill? How to kill?” Jiang Xu felt that this location was a problem.

“I have already thought about the location; the hunting ground. In a few days, we will tell the Master that we need to solidify our strength and go to the hunting ground to hunt demon beasts. When the time comes, Elder Ma will hear that we have left Pill Peak, and he will definitely try to strike us and we can wait for him in the hunting grounds” Liu Mufeng had a slight smile as he spoke of his plan. If Elder Ma was not eliminated, they could only hide in Pill Peak everyday, so this Elder Ma must be eliminated.

“Good idea, if we move, he will definitely be fooled.” Nodding, Jiang Xu agreed.

“This matter still needs Xiaoyue’s help, and we have to plan well to make sure nothing goes wrong.”

“Okay.” Nodding, Jiang Xu replied affirmatively.
