Liu Mufeng immediately stood up from the ground as soon as he realized that the other party had no objection to his proposal. He respectfully bowed three times and kowtowed nine times to the Five Poison Immortal King. “This child, Liu Mufeng, pays respects to his adoptive Father.”
“Okay, today is really a good day. I actually got you as my adopted Son. Let’s go, this Father will take you back to the Snake Domain and let you see what a real Seven Colored Flowing Light is.” As he spoke, the Five Poison Immortal King stood up with a smile and helped up Liu Mufeng who was kneeling on the ground.
“The Seven Colored Flowing Light is the adoptive Father’s famous ultimate skill, and it is also a high-level poison created by the adoptive Father. I have always wanted to see it. If I can see it, I can die without regrets.” Liu Mufeng said with a smile.
“I don’t like to hear this. If you die after becoming my Son for just a day, doesn’t that prove that I am useless as a Father and can’t even protect my own cub?” The Five Poison Immortal King said in a dissatisfied manner.
“Don’t blame yourself, Foster Father, it’s this child who made a mistake.” Lowering his head, Liu Mufeng immediately admitted his mistake.
“No, I can see that you like studying poison techniques very much. From now on, we, Father and Son, can study poison techniques together.”
“Okay.” Liu Mufeng nodded and said yes.
“Let’s go.” Pulling Liu Mufeng’s wrist, the Five Poison Immortal King was about to take him away.
“Father, my partner and my Son…” Looking at the people lying on the ground unable to move, Liu Mufeng looked helplessly at the Five Poison Immortal King.
“Oh, let them follow.” With that said, the Five Poison Immortal King waved his hand and withdrew the pressure exerted on the other eight people.

The Snake Domain was not close to the deserted island, but the Five Poison Immortal King used a level 10 Cloud Shuttle. In just one month, the group arrived at the Snake Domain and returned directly to the Palace of the Five Poison Immortal King.
During the month on the flying magic artifact, Liu Mufeng accompanied the Five Poison Immortal King to study poison techniques every day. He also made a copy of the inheritance of poison techniques obtained in the Sea God Palace and gave it to the Five Poison Immortal King. This made the Five Poison Immortal King like this newly adopted Son even more. As soon as he returned to his Palace, he arranged a magnificent courtyard for Liu Mufeng’s family to live in.
Sitting in the Palace, Jiang Xu secretly breathed a sigh of relief. “Finally, I no longer have to squeeze together with the Immortal King in the flying magic artifact.”
“Yeah, I get all uncomfortable when I see that one.” Jin Xiao nodded and said the same. Jin Xiao had half of the Snake Clan’s bloodline in his body, and that Five Poison Immortal King was also of the Snake Clan, with higher strength than him, so being with the other party made him very uncomfortable.
“The Boss is still awesome. He can still talk and laugh with that Immortal King every day.” When it came to this, one could not help but to admire Liu Mufeng.
“Xiaoxiao is right. I thought we were caught by the Five Poison Immortal King this time and were doomed. Unexpectedly, Master actually reversed the situation and recognized him as his adoptive Father.” Xiaoyuan was also very happy about this reversal.
“Father has never been a reckless person. Since he deliberately made people misunderstand that he was a disciple of the Five Poison Immortal King, he had already considered his own way out.” After thinking about it, Liu Xuan didn’t think it was luck that saved them today. Most likely, it was still under the control of his Father.
“Yes, your Father knows it well and has a plan in his heart.” Jiang Xu nodded and agreed.
In fact, when Mufeng wanted to pretend to be the disciple of the Five Poison Immortal King, he had already understood the situation of the Five Poison Immortal King very well. First, the Five Poison Immortal King was a demon cultivator, and he was from the golden patterned blue and white python clan and he was the Snake King of the Lower Heaven Domain. He was also the ancestor of the Snake Clan royal family in the Cultivation World. Second, the Five Poison Immortal King was obsessed with poison techniques and liked researching new types of poisons. Third, the Five Poison Immortal King was an ascended cultivator. When he first ascended, he was unable to transform his spiritual source into immortal source and was once sold into slavery, living a miserable life. And fourthly, the Five Poison Immortal King had no heirs, neither in the Cultivation World nor in the Immortal Realm.
It was precisely because Mufeng knew about the situation of the Five Poison Immortal King that when the Five Poison Immortal King asked him to beg for mercy, he did not beg for mercy, but instead revealed that they were ascended cultivators from the Cultivation World. In fact, at that time, when Mufeng was talking about their experiences, it seemed like he was just chatting around, but in reality, he was was trying to stir up some past memories of the Five Poison Immortal King, making him feel that they were in the same boat, both ascended cultivators. Moreover, Mufeng was a disciple of Qingmei, the descendant of the Five Poison Immortal King, which was invariably bringing the two closer together.
“Dad, it seems that Father has gone to study poison with the Immortal King. Will everything be okay?” Liu Xuan felt a little worried.
“Not to worry, your Father will protect himself. Everyone is tired from the journey. Let’s go back to our respective rooms and have a good rest.” Jiang Xu said after looking at everyone.
“Oh.” Nodding, everyone left the hall.
On the other side, Liu Mufeng was sitting on a chair watching the image projected by the recording stone. In the image, thousands of colorful poisonous mists were flying all over the sky and the cultivators in the city fled in panic as if they had encountered a flood beast. One by one, they were poisoned to death, their faces were dark, and they vomited black blood as they fell to the ground.
“This is my Seven Colored Flowing Light. I used it to massacre the city and killed 13,453 people. What did my Son think?” The Five Poison Immortal King asked with a smile.
Liu Mufeng smiled. “My Foster Father’s Seven Colored Flowing Light truly lives up to its reputation. No wonder others are frightened after hearing about it.” Thinking of Cao Yu’s frightened appearance when he saw his poisonous gas, Liu Mufeng didn’t feel strange now. Seeing the recording just now, who wouldn’t be afraid of this poison that could slaughter an entire city?
“Those Immortal Kings called me a devil and that I am cruel by nature. What do you think?” The Five Poison Immortal King asked again.
“This child believes that nothing happens without a reason in this world. If my adoptive Father wanted to kill the people in this city, you must have your reasons.” Liu Mufeng said calmly.
Liu Mufeng knew about the Five Poison Immortal King’s massacre of the city. It was said that the Five Poison Immortal King ascended to the Immortal Realm, but because he could not transform his immortal source, he became a useless person. Later, he was sold as a slave by human traffickers to a second-level city. When the Son of the City Lord saw the Five Poison Immortal King’s outstanding appearance, he wanted to take him into his house as a concubine, and he also wanted to force himself on the Five Poison Immortal King. As a result, the Five Poison Immortal King fought him off and used his fangs to bite off that ‘third leg’ of the City Lord’s Son.
This incident made the City Lord furious, and the Young Master of the city was also furious. In order to vent their anger, they asked someone to pull out the fangs of the Five Poison Immortal King, and asked all the men in the city to line up to defile him. What’s even more outrageous was that they also beat the Five Poison Immortal King back to its beast form and hung it on a rope at the entrance of the city, letting the people of the city pull out one scale for each every day. When all the scales were pulled out, they let the people skin the Five Poison Immortal King alive. The Five Poison Immortal King was tortured miserably by the people of that city. If he hadn’t been saved later, I’m afraid he would have died long ago.
How could the Five Poison Immortal King let go of such a great hatred? Therefore, after he transformed into an immortal and gained the ability to take revenge, he slaughtered the entire city of cultivators without hesitation.
The Five Poison Immortal King nodded when he heard Liu Mufeng say everything. “I’m not wrong about you. You are really different from those people who follow the wind and rain.” After the massacre of the city, I don’t know how many people were calling him a devil. But who knew of the shame and humiliation he suffered back then?
“This child thinks that there are no cultivators who do not kill people. No cultivator is truly clean. The difference between a devil and a gentleman is that the devil is never afraid of admitting that he has killed someone. But the so-called adult gentleman will never admit if he kills someone. They only allow state officials to set fires and not allow people to light lamps. In the final analysis, they are just a group of sanctimonious hypocrites. They are far inferior to real villains like us who can live a real life.” At this point, Liu Mufeng looked contemptuous.
Did a person like Yu Haipeng deserve to call others devils? In order to extend his life, he killed 333 slaves as sacrifices. In his eyes, his life is life, but the lives of slaves were not life?
“En, that’s right, we are the devils and the real villains. So what? At least we live more magnanimously than they do. We dare to admit that we kill people. We are not as despicable and shameless as they are, who hide their real faces all day.” The Five Poison Immortal King found his adoptive Son very pleasing to the eyes. Whether it’s his attainments in poison techniques or this kid’s temperament, no matter how you look at it, you would like him.
Although the Five Poison Immortal King had a tender and beautiful face like a vixen, he was actually 3 million years old. At this age, he has never had any children, and the subordinates around him were also very afraid of him. No one could speak out truthfully. At this moment, he suddenly got such an adopted Son with such a temper. For him, it was also a comfort.
“Father, I know that you must have your reasons for killing these people. However, killing too much will harm the world and may affect your promotion to the Immortal Emperor. Therefore, there is no need for you to dirty yourself for a bunch of pickled things. We should still focus on the Great Dao.” Liu Mufeng persuaded the other party in a low voice.
“En, my Son is right. The Dao should be given priority. A group of dirty people really have no right to affect my Dao.” Nodding, the Five Poison Immortal King agreed.
Looking back now, he shouldn’t have killed them. Letting them die so easily was really an advantage for those bullies. He should have peeled off their skins, stretched their muscles, and let them experience all the humiliation and torture he had suffered back then.
