Chapter 55

Only one Bone Marrow Cleansing Pill? The flattery in Zheng Song's eyes turned to disappointment. How could the existence of an Unparalleled Divine Soul only be worth one Bone Marrow Cleansing Pill? Wasn't it said that there was a possibility of directly entering the Ancestral Land?

After a brief moment of surprise, the flattery reappeared on Zheng Song's face: "Young Master Tianyu, didn't you say you would take me to the Ancestral Land after this?"

Zheng Tianyu glanced at him and sneered, "A dog, what qualifications does it have to enter the Ancestral Land!"

Without another word, Zheng Tianyu turned and left the room, supported by someone.

Zheng Song clenched the "Bone Marrow Cleansing Pill" in his hand, his heart filled with determination: "I must make good use of this pill, cleanse my bones and veins, and when the time comes, my potential will surely be unleashed! When the martial arts competition in the Ancestral Land takes place, I will surely shine!"

Elders and disciples of the Zheng family, who had rushed over upon hearing the news, stood at the door, letting the rain soak their clothes. They stared intently at the traitor, Zheng Song, as if unaffected.

Silence! A solemn and deadly silence spread throughout the courtyard!

Elder Zheng Hong clenched his fists, his teeth grinding. He raised his hand and delivered a powerful palm strike at Zheng Song, "Beast! Die!"

The intense killing intent mixed with the powerful palm wind scattered the raindrops, and in an instant, it reached Zheng Song. This strike would surely kill him!

"Fourth Elder, you dare to harm my grandson!" Elder Zheng Xuan rushed out, intercepting Zheng Song and delivering a palm strike that pushed Zheng Hong back two steps.

"Zheng Xuan! What do you mean?" Zheng Hong, with a look of anger, pointed at Zheng Song, who had just narrowly escaped death, and roared, "This beast betrayed the family, he deserves to die!"

Before Zheng Hong finished speaking, several people behind him rushed at Zheng Song, using their ultimate techniques to scatter the rain!

The martial artists beside Zheng Xuan also rushed out, intercepting the group attacking Zheng Song.

"Bang! Bang! Bang..."

The sound of rapid and short punches and kicks echoed as the two groups collided, both being pushed back several steps.

Zheng Hong's eyes glinted with coldness as he angrily shouted at those who had come to block him, "You are still protecting that traitor! Move aside!"

Zheng Xuan, shielding Zheng Song behind him, coldly said, "Fourth Elder, don't talk nonsense! When did my grandson become a traitor?"

"If it weren't for my grandson making such a wise decision, if the people of the Ancestral Land found out that we were hiding an Unparalleled Divine Soul and not handing it over, our family could have faced annihilation!"

"Zheng Linhan, that old fool, as the head of the family, did not hand over the Unparalleled Divine Soul to Zheng Shiyi and even helped him hide it from the Ancestral Land! Have you not seen his fate?"

"My grandson saved you all, and not only do you not thank him, but you also want to kill him. Do you have any conscience?"

Zheng Hong, enraged, laughed sarcastically, "Zheng Xuan, can you be any more shameless?"

"From the day Zheng Shiyi was born until now, we have always kept the secret of his Unparalleled Divine Soul! No one in our city, except for our family, knows about it!"

"The Ancestral Land is ten thousand eight thousand miles away. If that beast hadn't betrayed us, would they have known?"

"Our family pays a large tribute to the Ancestral Land every year. Wouldn't it be better if we could free ourselves from their control and distribute the tribute to our clan members?"

"Zheng Shiyi, with his Unparalleled Divine Soul, is not arrogant. He trains ten times harder than any other disciple. I believe that given time, he will have the strength to free our family from the Ancestral Land's control."

"That beast, for his own selfish reasons, did such a heartless deed. You say not to kill him? To keep him? Are you waiting for him to harm our family again?"

A short, fat man behind Zheng Xuan chimed in, "Zheng Hong! I finally see your true colors. You are an elder of our family, yet you talk about breaking free from the Ancestral Land's control."

"Without the Ancestral Land, how could there be the Zheng family? Paying tribute is our duty! You even think about breaking free from their control."

"Such treasonous words, how can you say them?"

"If you want to break free from the Ancestral Land's control today, tomorrow you might want to leave our family!"

"Zheng Hong, am I right?"

Zheng Hong immediately had someone jump out from behind him, pointing at the speaker and cursing, "You damn fool! You are used to being a dog! What right does a dog have to bark in front of people!"

"Do you know how much tribute we pay to the Ancestral Land each year? We have done our part, but has the Ancestral Land cared about our lives?"

"If we didn't pay those tributes, our family would have already dominated the city!"

"That beast destroyed our hopes. Why should we keep him alive?"

The person who was cursed had a very ugly look on his face, angrily pointing at the person who cursed him and sneering, "Hope? Do you think that waste, with his Unparalleled Divine Soul, can lead our family to break free from the Ancestral Land's control?"

"Should I say you are naive or foolish? The people of the Ancestral Land, in terms of talent and potential, are far beyond our small Zheng family."

"That waste will never have the strength to lead our family to break free from control. Cultivating him is a waste of resources!"

"Zheng Song handed the Unparalleled Divine Soul to Young Master Tianyu, and he has also gained Young Master Tianyu's favor. If our family encounters trouble, can we not ask Young Master Tianyu for help?"

"If you kill him now, how will we seek help from Young Master Tianyu in the future?"

"Also, that guy is now a waste. Among our family's young generation, only Zheng Song has reached the Fifth Qi Wheel Realm. If you kill him, will we send a Fourth Qi Wheel Realm disciple to the Xuanming Sect this year?"

"Wouldn't that be a laughingstock?"

"In my opinion, not only should we not kill Zheng Song, but we should also cultivate him well!"

The people beside Zheng Song repeatedly waved their arms and shouted, "Right, we must cultivate Zheng Song well!"

Zheng Hong's face was cold and dark, the traitor was so shameless!

Zheng Hong pointed at everyone and angrily shouted, "The one who framed others not only escapes punishment but also gets cultivated! Is there any justice in this world?"

"If this continues, how can our family stand and survive? Fairness and justice are the foundation of a family!"

Zheng Xuan's pupils constricted, his face stern as he looked at Zheng Hong and shouted, "Fourth Elder! I know you are protecting that boy, but don't put the blame on my grandson!"

"There is no wall that doesn't leak. Even if we hide the fact that that guy has an Unparalleled Divine Soul, the Ancestral Land will eventually find out!"

"If we are accused of hiding a divine soul, how can we stand and survive? Don't be naive!"

Zheng Xuan's presence was intimidating, and he did not back down.

Zheng Song, beside him, was extremely pleased, occasionally glancing at the prostrate Zheng Shiyi.

Zheng Shiyi, who had regained consciousness at some point, was pale and breathing with great difficulty. Even so, he still glared at Zheng Song with a fierce look.

"You are about to die, yet you still dare to look at me like that!"

Zheng Song, feeling uncomfortable with Zheng Shiyi's gaze, quickly added, "Grandfather, Young Master Tianyu should be happy to have the Unparalleled Divine Soul, but when he left, his face was full of displeasure."

"Do you think he is unhappy because Zheng Linhan attacked him? If he comes to seek revenge, our family will be doomed!"

"We should kill that boy quickly to avoid Young Master Tianyu's wrath!"

Zheng Song's words were like a thunderclap, quickly breaking the deadlock.

Zheng Xuan was overjoyed. He had forgotten about this matter until Zheng Song mentioned it. He nodded repeatedly, "If Song hadn't reminded me, I would have forgotten. Attacking Young Master Tianyu is no small matter."

"If the Ancestral Land gets angry, none of us will survive!"

"For the long-term survival of our family, we must kill that guy!"

As he spoke, Zheng Xuan and the people beside him showed signs of moving towards Zheng Shiyi.

Zheng Hong and others quickly blocked their path, shouting, "You bastards! Zheng Shiyi has been harmed by that beast! Not only do you not help him seek revenge, but you also listen to that beast and want to kill Zheng Shiyi!"

"You little beast, how black is your heart!"

Zheng Hong's eyes were bloodshot, wishing he could kill Zheng Song right now.

The people protecting Zheng Song drew their weapons, pointing them at Zheng Hong and his group, ready to attack if they took a step forward.

Zheng Shiyi, enduring the intense pain, struggled to lift his head and looked at Zheng Xuan with a cold gaze, "There must be someone else behind this."

"Most of us, including me, don't know where the Ancestral Land is. How could Zheng Song know?"

Everyone looked at Zheng Song with confusion. Only the elders and the head of the family knew where the Ancestral Land was. How could Zheng Song know?

Zheng Song smiled, his face full of pride, unaffected by the gazes of the crowd.

Zheng Xuan nodded indifferently to Zheng Shiyi, "I told my grandson. My grandson foresaw that your Unparalleled Divine Soul would eventually bring disaster to the family, so he came to me for advice."

"When I heard it, I agreed! If you don't hand over your Unparalleled Divine Soul, the family will fully cultivate you. But if the Ancestral Land discovers it and takes it away, you will become a waste."

"The family has invested so much in you, they don't want to cultivate a waste."

"Cultivating you would waste the family's resources and could bring disaster to the family in the future."

"You want to harm the family, and I can't let you succeed. So I told my grandson the location of the Ancestral Land!"

"I did this for the family, what's wrong with that?"

"You... How shameless!" Zheng Shiyi, enraged, felt his blood boil. He had Zheng Song betray him to the Ancestral Land and have his Unparalleled Divine Soul taken, yet Zheng Xuan could say such grandiose words.

"Spit..."

A mouthful of blood spurted from Zheng Shiyi's mouth, and he fainted, his vision going black.

"Feng!"

Zheng Hong, his eyes blazing with anger, waved his hand to have someone take care of Zheng Shiyi, then turned to Zheng Xuan and coldly shouted, "Zheng Xuan!"

"I never thought it would be you, this old man, who would allow that beast to harm my Feng! Today, no matter the cost, I will kill you all!"

"Little beast, prepare to die!"

Zheng Hong's eyes flashed with coldness, focusing on Zheng Song behind Zheng Xuan. Zheng Song, terrified, took several steps back.
