Ch424 - Huang Jie has an Accident

Edited by Zaki

Seventy years later…

After staying in Gale Ridge for a full hundred years, Liu Mufeng and his party traveled from Low Area to High Area. Each of them had refined their physique into copper skin and iron bones. From the beginning of standing next to the storm vortex and being scraped with bloody mouths, to the end of standing under the storm vortex without breaking a bit of skin, it could be said that each one of them had put in a lot of effort and a lot of hard work. Especially Liu Xuan, Liu Xuan’s strength was not as good as the others, so the hardships he had to put in were often much higher than the others.

In addition to the improvement in physical skills, everyone’s strength had also been significantly improved. Shi Lian also took out the Gypsum and Stone Milk extracted from the Gale Stones that Shi Lian found in Gale Ridge, as well as some precious Stone Milk that Shi Lian had hidden in Jin Xiao’s space. Liu Mufeng refined suitable pills for everyone. With the help of pills, Gypsum, and Stone Milk, everyone’s strength had improved a lot.

Liu Mufeng’s strength of seven stars in Spiritual Ancestor Realm, was not stable just after promotion. Jiang Xu was a seven-star in the Spiritual Ancestor Realm, and his strength was very stable. Xiaoyue had nine stars in the Spiritual Ancestor realm, Jin Xiao had nine stars in the Spiritual Ancestor realm, the Black Panther had eight stars in the Spiritual Ancestor realm, Xiaoxiao had eight stars in the Spiritual Ancestor realm, and Pangpang was also eight stars in the Spiritual Ancestor realm. Xiaoyuan was six stars in the Spiritual Ancestor realm, and Liu Xuan was seven stars in the Spiritual Profound Realm.

Sitting in the cave, Liu Mufeng was looking at the map, while Jiang Xu was sitting aside and chewing dried meat.

“Mufeng, are we leaving this place?” Jiang Xu asked as he looked at his man.

“En, the Gale Stones here have almost been collected, and it’s time for us to leave this place.” Nodding, Liu Mufeng expressed that he wanted to leave.

“But we haven’t gone to the last area yet? Aren’t we going to the Death Area? I think there must be more Gale Stones in the Death Area.” Along the way, Jiang Xu discovered that the further they went into the higher areas of Gale Ridge, the more Gale Stones they could find.

“No, you cannot just go to the Death Area casually. As far as I know, there was once a time when a Spiritual Sacred Realm cultivator from someone’s clan entered the Death Area and didn’t even manage to leave alive. Therefore, with our current strength, even if there are genuine treasures in the Death Area, we won’t be able to get them. There’s no need to waste our lives for this.” Before coming here, Liu Mufeng did a detailed investigation and read a lot of records in ancient books. Therefore, he knew that the Death Area was not that easy to break into. Even in the original novel, the male protagonist Xiao Zhantian also stopped at the High Area, and did not enter the Death Area.

“It’s so dangerous. It’s better not to go.” Nodding, Jiang Xu agreed.

“I plan to go back to Sanyuan Town first, and then we’ll go to Blood Lake.”

“Go back, why do you want to go back?” Jiang Xu asked in confusion, raising his eyebrows.

“A year ago, Senior Brother sent a message saying that Huang Jie was seriously injured while out training and his spiritual roots were destroyed. Huang Shi’an and Li Ruyue have accompanied Huang Jie to Sanyuan Town on a seventh-level flying magic artifact.” Liu Mufeng sighed softly.

Hearing his lover’s comfort, Jiang Xu nodded. “En, you, you want to connect Bai Linglong’s spiritual root to Huang Jie?”

Most of the golden spiritual root cultivators were sword cultivators, but there were exceptions to everything. Bai Linglong was such an exception. Although she was a golden spiritual root cultivator, she was not a sword cultivator, but a martial arts cultivator.

Previously, many Ancient Clan cultivators, Demon Clan cultivators and Human Race cultivators came to Liu Mufeng to buy Reparing Spiritual Root Pill. The spiritual roots of those slaves that Liu Mu Feng had dug up back then had been used up for thirty years in Sanyuan Town with very little left. Therefore, after Jiang Xu killed Bai Linglong and the others, he dug out the spiritual roots of the three people.

In fact, within an hour after a cultivator dies, his spiritual roots will slowly die and lose their original luster and aura. However, Jiang Xu dug in time. After digging, he put them all in the jade box like how Mufeng had done previously. He used spiritual water to water the spiritual roots every now and then to feed the three spiritual roots.

“Yes, that’s the one. I’ll choose the one that’s most suitable. Huang Jie is your friend, so of course you have to use the best for him.” Bai Linglong’s strength was higher, and her spiritual roots were better than those of the slaves. The spiritual roots dug out from her body became much thicker.

“En, that’s true. Mufeng, let’s go back to Sanyuan Town quickly. Don’t keep Huang Jie and the others waiting.” Jiang Xu said worriedly, looking at his man.

“En, I’ll go talk to everyone later. We’ll go back to Sanyuan Town immediately.”

“Okay.” Jiang Xu nodded and agreed.

A few days later, Liu Mufeng and his party returned to Sanyuan Town. After returning home, Jiang Xu immediately ordered everyone to clean the house inside and outside. Liu Mufeng immediately sent a message to Huang Shi’an to inform him that he had arrived home.

After receiving news from Liu Mufeng, that night, the Huang family of three rushed to Liu Mufeng’s residence.

“Greetings to Elder Li and Elder Huang.” Lowering their heads, Liu Mufeng and Jiang Xu hurriedly saluted.

“Two Junior Brothers, you don’t need to be polite. We came all the way to disturb you and delayed your experience. It was really hard on you.” Speaking of this, Huang Shi’an was very embarrassed.

“Elder Huang’s words alienate us too much. We are all acquaintances, and Junior Brother Huang isXiaoXu’s good friend. When we heard that Junior Brother Huang was injured,XiaoXu and I were also very worried. So, we rushed back immediately.”

“Thank you two Junior Brothers.” Huang Shi’an lowered his head and thanked him hurriedly.

“There is no need to be polite, Elder Huang.”

“Junior Brother Huang, what’s going on? You’re not weak, are you? How could you be seriously injured?” Jiang Xu asked anxiously looking at Huang Jie, who had been silent and looked haggard.

Huang Jie lamented. “I don’t know who the two people who attacked me were. They were all wearing black robes and had masks on their faces. They were very strong. One was at the nine-star level of the Spiritual Ancestor Realm, and the other was at the seven-star level of the Spiritual Ancestor Realm. Moreover, their method was not that of a well-known and upright family. They were like demon cultivators who would use some weird and crooked skills. If I had not been careful, I would have died at the hands of the other party.”

“That’s it. Then, have you offended someone? Were they from the Heavenly Demon Sect?” After thinking about it, Jiang Xu asked again.

“I don’t know about this. I just went out for training and killed a few demon beasts. I didn’t have any disputes with other cultivators. Logically speaking, I shouldn’t have offended anyone.” Huang Jie himself was very concerned about this matter.

“It’s notXiaoJie’s problem, but the Huang family’s problem. In the past hundred years, the descendants of the main family and branches of the Huang family have died one by one. My Father suspected that it was the enemies of the Huang family.” Huang Shi An’s face looked very ugly.

“Anyone else in the main family died?” Huang Jie was shocked when he heard the news.

Huang Shi’an sighed. “XiaoJie, you went out for training previously and got injured. I didn’t tell you. In the Huang family, you are the only one left in your generation. Everyone else is dead.”

“What? Yiyi is dead? My two Cousins and two Younger Cousins are also dead?” Huang Jie asked in disbelief as he looked at his Father.

“Yes, they are all dead.” Nodding, Huang Shi’an replied.

“No wonder, no wonder you keep urging me to return to the Sect. No wonder you and Grandma came to pick me up.” Huang Jie finally understood.

“Not only your generation, but also your Cousins from your Father’s generation are dead. Now, your Grandfather is investigating this matter.” At this point, Li Ruyue sighed.

“Is there any death in the in-laws’ family?” Looking at Huang Shi’an, Liu Mufeng asked.

At that question, Huang Shi’an froze for a moment before responding. “Yes, my Aunt Liu Yan’s family members are all dead, and my Third Brother’s Wife’s family members are also dead.”

“No way? Isn’t that the Blood Relative Tribute Technique?” Looking at Liu Mufeng, Jiang Xu asked in shock.

Liu Mufeng narrowed his eyes. “Where is Huang Shanshan? Is she dead?”

“The soul cup that Shanshan left in the sect has been broken, but no one has seen her body. I heard from her partner that one year after the two got married, Shanshan became pregnant. Later, Shanshan went crazy. She snuck out of the house, and he couldn’t find her no matter how hard he searched for her, and then Shanshan’s soul cup was broken.” At this point, Huang Shi’an sighed softly.

“Is it possible that the person is not dead but the soul cup is broken?” Looking at Huang Shi’an, Liu Mufeng asked again.

“This, this is impossible, right? How could it be possible?”

“No, it is possible. I know that there was a Senior Sister who went out for training, and her soul cup was broken. Everyone thought she was dead, but unexpectedly she returned to the sect a few years later. At first, Uncle thought she was a spy posing as her, but after some torture, he found out that the Senior Sister was pregnant and happened to encounter a demon beast. The Senior Sister fought with the demon beast and the Child died. Although she herself was also injured, she was not dead.” Li Ruyue frowned.

“So, it is most likely that the Child in Huang Shanshan’s belly died, but the mother did not?”

“En, it’s possible.” Nodding, Li Ruyue answered with certainty.

“Junior Brother Liu, do you suspect thatXiaoJie’s injury is related to Shanshan?”

“En, I have read about a forbidden technique. As long as you sacrifice your own blood relatives, your strength can be improved quickly. The closer the relationship between the sacrificed blood relative and oneself the better it is for the sacrificer.” Speaking of this matter, Liu Mufeng sighed.

“So you want to say that everyone in the Huang family was killed by that bitch Huang Shanshan?” Looking at Liu Mufeng, Li Ruyue asked incredulously.

“It’s just a guess.”
