Nine months later…
In just another three months, Liu Mufeng and his party would have arrived at Hai City. However, at this moment, Liu Mufeng suddenly received a message from his Junior Sister Helian Xiaoxiao, asking him to meet and saying that something had happened to the Helian family and she wanted to ask for help from him.
Upon receiving this information, Liu Mufeng frowned deeply. He sat in a chair and thought for a long time.
“Mufeng, what’s wrong with you? Whose message is this?” Jiang Xu asked curiously.
“Oh, it’s Helian Xiaoxiao’s message, saying that Helian’s family is in trouble and wants to ask me for help. They made an appointment to meet in Li Family Village ahead.” Liu Mufeng told the truth.
“Li Family Village? Which Li Family Villageah?” Jiang Xu asked suspiciously.
“It’s the Li Family Village where we found the Spiritual Water Stone back then.” At this point, Liu Mufeng frowned. He didn’t know if it was a coincidence or a deliberate arrangement.
“Li Family Village? The Li Family Village where the cultivators of the Heavenly Demon Sect massacred the village and used the blood of the whole village to refine the magic sword and where theSpiritual Water Stonewas buried under their ancestral hall?” Jiang Xu asked in disbelief.
“Yes, that’s right there.” At this point, Liu Mufeng also frowned.
“Why did she make an appointment there?” Thinking of that place, Jiang Xu frowned, his face twisting.
Thinking back then, he and Mufeng had just advanced to the Spiritual Emperor Realm, left the Sect to gain experience, and came to the Li Family Village. Originally, they wanted to buy the land of their ancestral hall and dig out the Spiritual Water Stone. However, the people in the village were unwilling to sell it to them. Later, on a dark and windy night, the cultivators from the Heavenly Demon Sect came to the village to massacre them. At that time, there were only two of them, and the other side had many cultivators. He and Mufeng were unable to fight, so they could only design to kill the cultivators of the Heavenly Demon Sect. They wanted to save the poor villagers, but unfortunately they were a step too late. The villagers were all killed by the cultivators of the Heavenly Demon Sect and because they could not save them, he and Mufeng felt guilty about those villagers.

“XiaoXu, I feel something is wrong. We must be more careful when we go to the appointment tonight.” Liu Mufeng said worriedly as he looked at his wife.
“Okay, I understand.” Jiang Xu nodded, expressing understanding. To be honest, he also felt something was not right, because the location of the meeting was too sensitive for them.
At night, Liu Mufeng and Jiang Xu came to the Li Family Village together.
At this moment, Li Family Village was already an abandoned and dilapidated village. There was no one in the village, only rows of broken houses. At night, the darkness was deep and the howling wind gave people a creepy feeling.
Arriving at the entrance of the village, Liu Mufeng and Jiang Xu saw Helian Xiaoxiao waiting eagerly for them.
“Senior Brother Liu, Senior Brother Jiang, you are here.” Helian Xiaoxiao greeted them with a smile.
“Junior Sister Helian, you sent me a message, what is the matter?” Liu Mufeng asked straight to the point.
“Senior Brother, the village ahead is abandoned. Why don’t we find a farmhouse, sit down and chat slowly.” Helian Xiaoxiao smiled and suggested going to the village.
“No need, Junior Sister,XiaoXu and I are on our way in a hurry. If you have anything to say, just tell us here.” Liu Mufeng rejected the other party’s proposal.
Helian Xiaoxiao nodded. “Since Senior Brother is unwilling to enter this village, let me say it here. Many years ago, this village was massacred overnight, and the ancestral hall was also dug up. Was this matter done by two Senior Brothers?”
Seeing that Helian Xiaoxiao was asking about old matters, Liu Mufeng and Jiang Xu had ugly expressions on their faces.
“Junior Sister Helian, things can be eaten indiscriminately but words cannot be spoken indiscriminately. We haven’t killed any villagers here.” Jiang Xu said coldly with his eyes narrowed.
“Yes, you didn’t kill the villagers, just refused to save them and took away the village’s most treasured item after they died. It’s ridiculous. The two peerless cultivation geniuses of Lingwu Sect are nothing more than cold-blooded and murderous executioners. If you hadn’t relied on robbing other people’s resources along the way, if you hadn’t relied on killing people and grabbing treasures along the way, how could you two have the strength you have today?” At this point, Helian Xiaoxiao looked contemptuous.
Liu Mufeng sneered. “In the Cultivation Continent, which cultivator is clean? Which cultivator has never killed someone? The pot is calling the kettle black. Is it interesting?”
“Liu Mufeng, why do you want to live in this world? Why?” At this point, Helian Xiaoxiao’s eyes were filled with hatred.
Liu Mufeng was a little confused when he saw the hatred in the other party’s face. “I don’t know what kind of things I have done to make you hate me so much?”
Helian Xiaoxiao sneered. “You don’t know? Don’t you think that your existence itself is a great harm to others? How is it that we are all from the lower continents and apprenticed on the same day, but you are the most beloved disciple of the Master, but I am just a piece of grass in the Master’s heart? Why does the Master love you as if you were his own Son, but doesn’t even bother to look at me? Why are you a famous alchemy genius in the Sect, but no matter how hard I try, I am still unknown? Why? Why?”
Hearing Helian Xiaoxiao’s hysterical barrages, Liu Mufeng shook his head. “I thought only Lin Yu and Zhang Hao were jealous of me, but I didn’t expect even you to be jealous of me.”Was jealousy the reason for this hatred?Liu Mufeng thought that the only two local cultivators from the Zunhuang Continent, Lin Yu and Zhang Hao, were jealous of him. Unexpectedly, cultivators from the Middle Continent like Helian Xiaoxiao were also jealous of him. Sure enough, no matter where people came from, the psychology of jealousy was the same.
“No, it’s not jealousy, it’s cynicism. Among the seven Martial Brothers and Sisters, you are the only one who is the Master’s disciple and we are all foils, we are all decorations. We all want you to die.” At this point, Helian Xiaoxiao’s face distorted in an ugly manner.
Liu Mufeng nodded.So, all Master’s disciples hated him?
“The destiny between people is determined by heavens. If you bunch of idiots are not as good as Mufeng and cannot be favored by Senior Uncle, then you can only blame yourself for your lack of academic skills. You can only be blamed for being too stupid, what does it have to do with my family’s Mufeng?” Jiang Xu had a stern look on his face.
Among the large sects, which Elder does not have a group of disciples? Thinking of being favored by your Master, having no ability, skill, or talent, but only complaining about others was useless, right? In the final analysis, they were just a bunch of trash, a bunch of trash who had no ability but still complained about others and were jealous of Mufeng.
“Did you ask me out just to tell me this?” Liu Mufeng asked coldly.
To be honest, he didn’t think he had done anything wrong. This kind of thing, not to mention in ancient times, even in modern times, students who studied well would naturally be loved by their teachers. So, this really wasn’t something he could influence.
“Liu Mufeng, what I hate the most is this moralistic hypocrite look of yours. In the Sect, you used this hypocritical face to deceive our Master. In the Shengtian Continent, you also used this face to deceive my Father. You despicable and shameless villain cheated my Father out of the Pill Recipe, but you said that you researched the Spiritual Cultivation Pill yourself. How could you say such shameless words?” Speaking of this matter, Helian Xiaoxiao was even more angry and hated Liu Mufeng until her teeth itched.
“The recipe your Father gave me has only sixteen kinds of spiritual herbs that could be used. The other twenty kinds of spiritual herbs were all added by me. The new pill was originally researched by me. I have no shame in this matter.” Liu Mufeng said with a cold face.
Helian Xiaoxiao looked up to the sky and laughed. “Have a clear conscience, what a clear conscience. Then let me ask you, didn’t you promise to give my Father a copy of the newly researched Pill? Didn’t you promise to share the Pill with my Father? Why did you go back on your word, renege on your promise, fail to keep your word, and privatize my Helian Family’s Pill Recipe?”
Hearing Helian Xiaoxiao’s question, Liu Mufeng frowned. “Back then, my Master and I went to Furong City to treat Madam Zhang Feng, the Wife of the City Lord of Furong City. It was at that time that I took out a new type of Spiritual Cultivation Pill to save her. Later, I used a sixth-level pill to cure a seventh-level patient. The Sect Master suggested that I put the Pill at auction to test the water. I was short of money at the time, so I agreed. From that time on, all the cultivators in the Zunhuang Continent knew about the Spiritual Cultivation Pill, and also everyone knew that this pill was refined by Liu Mufeng of the Lingwu Sect.”
“So, for your reputation, your status, and those endless spirit stones, you betrayed our trust and refused to give the Helian Family the completed recipe.” At this point, Helian Xiaoxiao’s face became unusually distorted.
Liu Mufeng chuckled. “Actually, I don’t care about reputation. I only sell the pills for the spirit stones. However, the Spiritual Cultivation Pills have been labeled as Lingwu Sect’s pills since they first appeared at the auction. If I had given the pill formula to you or to your Father, then, your Helian family may have been ruined long ago.”
Helian Xiaoxiao’s eyes were blood red, “No way, you are talking nonsense.”
“Whether what I said is true, you can think about it for yourself. Even if the Sect Master could tolerate your Helian family having the pill recipe, do you think the other three major sects would also tolerate it?”
He said this, but Liu Mufeng knew in his heart that if he had given the pill recipe to Helian Xing, the first person to destroy the Helian family would be the Sect Master. Even though the Sect Master usually doted onXiaoXu endlessly, but… He was decisive and ruthless in killing. There was absolutely no room for others to have Lingwu Sect things in their hands.
Xuanyuan Chen’s ruthlessness could be seen from his treatment of Yuanyuan and his pursuit of the male protagonist Xiao Zhantian. At that time, the Yuan family had just started to seek power and usurp the throne, and Xuanyuan Chen wiped out the whole family. As for the male protagonist, in fact, he was really unjustly persecuted. With just one statement from the Fourth Heroine, Feng Pianpian, about the eight points of fate, his death was already assured by Xuanyuan Chen.
