Ch515 - The Xiao Family's Speculations

A few days later,

Liu Mufeng and his group were picking immortal herbs in the forest when they encountered a female cultivator dressed in the attire of the Yutian Sect and covered in blood, stumbling and running over to their side.

“Fellow Daoists, I am a cultivator from the Yutian Sect. My Junior Sisters have been kidnapped by several fugitives. Please help save their lives. There will be heavy rewards afterwards,” the woman anxiously requested.

Upon hearing this, Liu Mufeng couldn’t help but frown. He has seen this female cultivator before, she was one of the eight female cultivators from the Yutian Sect whom they had come across when they just arrived at the Ancient Immortal Mountain. “Daoist Friend, cultivators have their own rules, and we don’t want to participate in others’ grievances.”

In the Cultivation World, there were no good people who acted with righteousness and courage. Most cultivators minded their own business, and no one would meddle in anyone’s affairs. Unless it was causing trouble for themselves, no one would foolishly stand up for others . Besides, there was not any good relationship between the Yutian Sect and them, rather a bad relationship. Thinking of his Son slaving as a miner and being abused in the Yutian Sect for two years, Liu Mufeng’s teeth itch with hatred for this Sect. He didn’t fight with the Yutian Sect to seek revenge, which was already very amicable of him. Now, this woman even wanted him to save Yutian Sect’s Junior Sister? Was he that jobless?

Liu Mufeng refused without any hesitation. The female cultivator widened her beautiful eyes in disbelief. “You! Why are you so cold-blooded? How dare you refuse to save the cultivators of our Yutian Sect, do you still value your life?”

Looking at the other person’s rightful appearance, Jiang Xu rolled his eyes in anger. “Stinky girl, who do you think you are? Do you think your Yutian Sect is a sect that everyone wants to flatter? I think you have a problem with your mind.”

“You, how dare you slander my Yutian Sect?” The female cultivator’s face turned pale with anger when she heard that her sect was being insulted in front of her.

Raising its paws, Bai Hu immediately grabbed towards the female cultivator with one paw. On the side, Jin Xiao’s ice cone also attacked at the same time.

“You, you…” She was already seriously injured, and the woman never dreamed that two demon beasts would suddenly attack her. She lowered her head and looked at the bloody hole in her chest and the ice cone piercing from behind. The woman fell to the ground in disbelief. Until death, her eyes were still filled with shock. Never in her dreams had she imagined that she would manage to escape from the clutches of the bandits, but would be killed by some random passerby.

Jin Xiao directly took the opponent’s storage ring and handed it to his owner Liu Mufeng with an expression of currying favor, while Xiaoyuan deftly released the Fire Spirit Insects and burned the body of the female cultivator.

“Yutian Sect! What I hate the most is these dogs from Yutian Sect!” Jin Xiao said, displeased as he looked at the female cultivator on the ground, who had turned into a handful of ash. Being a miner at the Yutian Sect for two years was a great shame for Jin Xiao.

“That’s how it is.” Jiang Xu expressed understanding.

Looking at his wife, Liu Mufeng tugged at the corner of his mouth. There was actually another theory that the owner of this secret realm ostensibly opened it up to the outside world to earn immortal crystals for practicing cultivators. But in reality, the other party had long been colluding with those bandits. They would let those bandits kill the cultivators who had reached the end of their terms of entry and were about to leave this secret realm, and then retrieve what they had obtained from the secret realm. In this way, they could earn two commissions.

Although Liu Mufeng didn’t know if this was true or false, he felt it was necessary to pay attention if they encountered a large number of bandits when they were about to leave, perhaps they could leave early.

*****

Three months later, the Xiao family in Han City.

Sitting in a chair, the Fourth Young Master of the Xiao family, Xiao Wen, was talking with his Grandfather and his two Younger Sisters.

“Wen‘er, what’s going on? I heard that your six Senior Brothers went to gain experience together. Only you and your Third Senior Brother have returned?” Lord Xiao looked at his Grandson with concern.

Xiao Wen nodded. “Yes, the other four people are all dead.” Xiao Wen was the red robed cultivator facing Liu Mufeng. If it weren’t for the immortal talisman given to him by his Grandfather, he probably wouldn’t have escaped so smoothly.

“Fourth Brother, what’s going on? Did you encounter some powerful immortal demon beasts?” Xiao Fangfang asked curiously as she looked at Xiao Wen.

“Oh, don’t mention it, it was not an immortal beast, it was a person. The six of us went to the Ancient Immortal Mountain and we originally wanted to kill that Ice Ape. However, later, we were a step too late and that Ice Ape was killed by someone else. The Yu Brothers were unwilling and said they wanted to kill the person who killed the Ice Ape to steal their treasures as they took back the body of the ape and the cold stones in the cave. But when they met, Yu Meng was burned alive by the other party. Later, we got into a fight, and Yu Qiao and Xu Shi fought back. Both Zhong and Fang Hai were also killed.” Speaking of what happened, Xiao Wen let out a light sigh.

“So powerful, who is the other person?” Xiao Feifei asked in confusion as she looked at her Fourth Brother.

“I don’t know, who knows who it was? The other party consisted of three people dressed in very shabby clothes, and they looked like they were just casual cultivators. However, these three guys have two beast pets each, and their pets are very strong. The three of them were also very powerful, not very strong, but especially those who fought.” Xiao Wen sighed.

“Do you remember the appearance of the three of them?” Lord Xiao asked his Grandson.

“I remember.” Xiao Wen nodded.

“Then you can draw the faces of the three of them. In the afternoon, both the Xu and Yu families will come to inquire about this matter.” The Head of the Xiao family said.

“En, I understand Grandpa.” Xiao Wen nodded and replied in affirmative. Taking out three white sheets of paper, Xiao Wen directly extracted the three faces from his memory and projected them onto the paper, and the portrait immediately formed.

Having taken three portraits and looked at them, Lord Xiao couldn’t help but frown. “Not some extremely vicious people. They are all strangers.”

“Yeah, when we attacked them back then, we didn’t take them seriously. We thought there were only three of them and six of us, we could definitely take them down. I didn’t expect them to almost end us all.” Xiao Wen sighed.

“Grandpa, do you think this portrait looks very familiar?” After taking Liu Xuan’s portrait, Xiao Fangfang stared at it for a long time, always feeling that it looked very familiar.

“Familiar? Have you seen this person before?” With an eyebrow raised, Lord Xiao looked at his Granddaughter.

“No, I haven’t seen this person before, but I think he looks very much like that person.” Speaking of this, Xiao Feifei couldn’t help but frown.

“What are you saying?” Lord Xiao asked curiously as he looked at his Granddaughter.

“Liu Mufeng!” As she spoke, Xiao Feifei took out Liu Mufeng’s bounty portrait and placed it together with Liu Xuan’s portrait.

“En, they look really similar.” Xiao Wen was shocked when he looked at the two portraits.

“Could this person be related to that demon Liu Mufeng?” Thinking of this, Xiao Feifei couldn’t help but shrink her neck.

“It’s not impossible either. The Lord of Qing City, Yu Haipeng, participated in the siege and ambush of the Five Poison Immortal King. Previously, Liu Mufeng had attempted to assassinate Yu Haipeng in Qing City. However, Yu Haipeng was not harmed, but ten level eight guards were poisoned to death. Yu Haipeng’s Brother-in-Law, Cao Yu, was also poisoned, and his strength has dropped to level eight. There are still residual toxins in his body that cannot be eliminated. At this moment, the other party killed Yu Haipeng’s two Grandsons Menghe and Yuqiao, maybe this matter really has something to do with Liu Mufeng.” After some thought, Lord Xiao made this analysis.

“Grandpa, didn’t the Yu family say that Liu Mufeng went to the Lord’s mansion to steal treasures, killed guards, and poisoned Cao Yu? How do you say that Liu Mufeng assassinated the City Lord?” Xiao Wen asked inexplicably, looking at his Grandfather.

“No, it’s not stealing treasures, it’s assassination. I’ve inquired privately and found out that the Lord’s Mansion didn’t lose anything. It was an assassination attempt. Liu Mufeng not only hinted at Hai Peng, but also went to Yuhua Immortal Mountain to assassinate the Yuhua Immortal King.” Speaking of this, Lord Xiao couldn’t help but frown.

“What? He even assassinated Yuhua Immortal King? When did it happen?” Upon hearing this, Xiao Wen looked curious. The Yuhua Immortal King was the Supreme Elder of their Yutian

Eight years ago, Liu Mufeng and his accomplices once pretended to be the Eighth Elder Sun Bo of the Yutian Sect and infiltrated the Yuhua Immortal Mountain to assassinate the Yuhua Immortal King – Wang Heng. However, unfortunately, their disguise was exposed by the Sixth Elder Chu He. Later, the two sides started fighting, and Chu He was trapped in a ninth-level array by the other side. Liu Mufeng fled with his accomplices, and Elder Chu He was trapped in the array for more than a year before he was able to come out with the help of Yutian Sect’s Array Master.” Lord Xiao sighed and explained the incident.

“Surprisingly, there was still this incident, I didn’t even know.” Xiao Wen shook his head as he said.

“After all, this matter was not a good thing, so the Yutian Sect kept a tight lid and did not announce it. However, after this incident, the Yutian Sect also issued a reward for Liu Mufeng’s head. Now, Liu Mufeng’s identity has been upgraded from sixth on the bounty list to third place. However, eight years have passed and he has not been found yet.” Lord Xiao said with a sigh. He thought to himself:Liu Mufeng is quite slippery. With so many people looking for him, they can’t find any clues, and they don’t know where he is hiding?

“If these three people are really related to Liu Mufeng, then it’s certain that the Xu family will soon find Liu Mufeng. The Yu Brothers and Xu Shizhong all have blood marks on their bodies.” Xiao Wen said after thinking for a moment.

“I hope so.” Liu Mufeng, the unstable factor, naturally Lord Xiao hoped they could eliminate the other party as soon as possible.
