Bloody Night of Massacre

  "Alright, how did the two of you end up arguing as soon as you sat together?" A noble-looking woman walked in and said to Di Shang Mo: "Mo Er, although your mother hasn't met you before, she's always heard about Tang Xin from you. However, regarding that incident a few months ago, it's not entirely her fault, but it did cause your father to lose face. Such an ill-mannered woman... even if your mother agrees to let you be with him, for him to enter our family..."

  She didn't say any more, believing that he understood her meaning. What kind of extraordinary woman could make his son so concerned? To say she had no martial arts skills, just an ordinary person, yet she could even defeat her husband, although it was said to be in a situation where she didn't use her martial arts skills, but even if it were an average person, it wouldn't be that easy to do.

  She had originally agreed to his courtship, thinking that if her husband could put aside the matter of a few months ago, it would be fine for Mo Er to marry her. However, hearing her husband's tone today, he has never been able to let go, and if it was because of a woman that caused discord in their household, she absolutely would not agree to this marriage.

  "Mother!"

  Di Yan's heart was filled with sorrow, torn between his family and the woman he loved. All he wanted was to be with Tang Xin, so why were there so many obstacles in their way? Was it really that difficult to love someone?

  Upon seeing her son's heartbroken expression, the noblewoman let out a soft sigh and said with a heavy heart: "Mo Er, there are many women in this world, why must you love only her? Tang Xin may have stunning beauty, but she is just an ordinary person without any special abilities. As a warrior, your social status will rise step by step, and your lifespan will be several times longer than hers. Even if you were to be with her, with her ordinary human lifespan, you would only have a few decades of radiance together. Moreover, ordinary people cannot maintain their youthful appearance forever. In the future, when she is 70 or 80 years old and has become old and frail, while you remain as handsome as ever, do you think you two will still be suitable for each other? We are your family, your parents, and everything we do is for your own good."

  "Mother, Father."

  The emperor stood up, because the marriage was repeatedly blocked, and he was forced to choose between family affection and love. He looked sorrowful: "I don't deny it, at first I was indeed infatuated with Tang Xin's stunning beauty, but later on, I was truly captivated by her elegant demeanor. Although she can cultivate her physical strength, the aura she emits from every move is something that many cultivators cannot match. Ordinary people only have a short life of several decades, and her stunning beauty will also slowly fade away. I've thought about all this, but I still can't give up on her because of it. I really love her, even if we only have a short time together. Father, mother, son begs you to bless our union!" As soon as he finished speaking, he knelt down immediately.

  But after hearing his words, the two of them furrowed their brows and exchanged a glance, not saying a word for half a moment. Originally, Emperor Zong's anger was rising, but when he saw that he had really made up his mind to marry her, he couldn't help but sigh inwardly: "Is Tang Xin really that good? Are you really determined to marry only her?"

  He raised his head, his eyes fixed firmly: "This life of mine, I will not marry anyone but her!"

  "Let him be, sir! Since he's like this, just let him go!" The noblewoman also begged for mercy, after all, she only had one son and didn't want to see them at odds with each other, and he would live in pain from now on.

  "Whatever, suit yourself!" Emperor Zong waved his hand and strode out.

  "Thanks to his parents for making him whole!" He was overjoyed, and his sorrowful mood dissipated. Suddenly, it was as if the dark clouds had parted to reveal a clear sky, and he felt carefree and exhilarated, unable to contain his joy.

  On the other hand, Tang Xin was resting with her eyes closed in the courtyard, recalling the books she had read over the past two days. Her ears moved slightly as a faint voice came through, accompanied by a chilly breeze. Without opening her eyes, she knew it must be Mu Chenfeng who had arrived. Apart from him bringing cold air with his presence, probably no one else in the imperial city could do that.

  "What are you doing here again? You're always running to my place every other day. Got nothing better to do after eating your fill?" She drawled lazily, the sweltering June day was indeed enough to make one feel lethargic, slowly opening her eyes, and sure enough, there he was in front of her.

  "Here." He casually tossed it over, throwing the thing at her.

  "How heavy is it? Where did it come from?" She wondered, holding the fist-sized object in her hand, feeling its weight. When she opened it, a look of surprise appeared on her face: "A night pearl? Wow! Such a beautiful night pearl, so big, can be used for at least one or two months after being ground into powder." She was delighted to play with the fist-sized pearl in her hand, overjoyed.

  However, Mu Chenfeng heard her words and his mouth twitched slightly, he glanced at her and said: "For lighting." This woman, it seemed she was going to waste the Night Pearl? It's really unknown what structure her brain was composed of.

  "How did you suddenly become so kind? Such a large night pearl, it's extremely precious, and you're willing to give it to me just like that?" She raised an eyebrow, inwardly surprised that he would say it was for her to use as lighting.

  "Really?"

  "Don't refuse, you've already delivered it to my doorstep. How could I not accept? Besides, this is such a large one, I estimate that even in the entire Dragon and Tiger Continent, you won't be able to find a second one like it. Even if we don't grind it into powder, selling it will definitely fetch a lot of gold coins." She smiled brightly as she looked at the beautiful night pearl in her hand, its luster not dazzling due to the daytime. She also had night pearls, but they were all very small and usually used to be ground into powder. Such a large one, she really didn't know how he got it.

  Looking at her greedy appearance, he turned away, really speechless. With the wealth of the Xiangfu family and her reputation as a ghost doctor, would she be short of money? It's really unknown what that brain is thinking about every day.

  She played with the night pearl in her hand, gazing at him with a sly smile, sizing him up and down, her eyes half-closed, and asked with a smile: "How's your body recently? Is there anywhere that feels...uncomfortable? Or anything different?"

  "I ask despite knowing!"

  "Haha... " She covered her mouth and smiled lightly: "Is your body really having this problem?" Her cunning eyes shifted slyly over his body, laughing: "Hmm, looking at your pale and gloomy face these past few days, could it be that there's a problem down there?"

  Mo Chen's lips curled slightly as he suddenly leaned in close to her side, his hands resting on the couch she was lying on. He looked down at her with a deep gaze: "Woman, you really are quite bold."

  "You're not meeting me for the first time."

  "So, according to you, when will my physical condition improve?" He raised an eyebrow, looking at her who was close in front of him.

  "It's hard to say, maybe just a few years, or it could be ten or eight years." She said with a smile, "It's also possible that it will always be like this."

  "Is that so?" The low voice seemed to carry a hint of danger, and the half-closed phoenix eyes swept across with a faint dark light: "In that case, I'll have to use extreme measures."

  "What?" Tang Xin was stunned, hadn't yet regained her composure, when suddenly she was enveloped in his arms, her entire body pinned down by him, unable to move at all.

  "What are you going to do now?" She struggled, but the guy was well-prepared and even her hands were pinned down by him, unable to move.

  Phoenix's eyes narrowed, and a hint of darkness flashed in her deep black pupils as she said, "From that day on, after you slept with me, I became like this. If you don't find a way to cure me, I'll have no choice but to use you as a test subject and see if the warmth of your body will elicit any reaction."

  "What do you mean I slept with you? If someone else heard that, they'd think something's going on between us! Besides, even if a beautiful woman was lying naked on top of you right now, you wouldn't be able to react at all. What can you do by hugging me? It's still useless."

  "Is that so? Since it's useless, then you'll just have to take responsibility for my lower body from now on." He said coolly, watching as her originally carefree face suddenly changed color, but in his heart, a hint of bitterness flashed by.

  "What's the big deal? Can't you just give up? At most, I'll cure you and that's it?"

  What's wrong with you?

  He gave her a sidelong glance, this woman, really had the nerve to say that out loud.

  "Still not letting me go?"

  Her soft body, her faint scent, being so close and holding her in his arms, made him somewhat reluctant to let go. But hadn't he already decided to let go long ago? What right did he have to hold her now?

  As soon as he loosened his grip, Tang Xin quickly jumped back, still watching him with a few points of vigilance: "Don't you know that good men don't fight women? Knowing I have no martial arts skills and taking advantage of me when I'm not paying attention, I'll say it first, next time if this happens again, the consequences will be very severe!"

  "If you don't help me get better, your consequences will be very serious."

  "Isn't it just a matter of a few needles? Is there a need to say such serious things?" She walked over, took out the silver needle and pricked several points on his waist, then put away the needle: "Alright, I guarantee you'll be able to satisfy ten women in one night."

  At these words, his mouth twitched, this woman...

  "Mother!" Fengfeng's voice came from outside, and Mufeng glanced at her and said, "I'm leaving, see you this afternoon at the usual place." As soon as his voice fell, he brushed off his clothes and went out of the wall.

  Looking at the person who left without waiting for her to speak, she sighed. She hadn't even said whether she was going or not, and yet her afternoon schedule had been decided just like that?

  "Mom, did that bad guy come just now?" The little guy's eyes rolled around as soon as he entered the yard, scanning the surroundings, but didn't see anyone.

  Tang Xin was surprised: "How did you know?"

  "It has its own flavor." The little guy smiled and hugged her leg: "Mom, will you take me to play with Fengfeng today?"

  "Alright, let's go! Today I'll take you to the Lion Building to eat something." She gently scratched his nose, took his small hand and headed out, seeing Xia Xue and Xia Yu walking towards them, she said: "Just in time, let's go together!"

  On the street, people flowed like a tide, passersby came and went, vendors lined the roadsides, and taverns and inns stood tall. A few people walked on the street, occasionally drawing gazes from the surrounding crowd. Since several months ago, it could be said that there were almost no one in the imperial city who didn't know Tang Xin. Although she was known for her lack of martial arts skills, she was revered by the common folk. This was because she broke the notion that ordinary people couldn't compare to warriors, letting everyone know that in this world, nothing is absolute!

  "Huh? That little girl is quite good-looking." On the Lion's Building, a man in a long gown glanced at Tang Xin below. His body was surrounded by a faint aura, which ordinary people couldn't see.

  The man sitting opposite him also looked down, his eyes contemplative: "The temperament is not bad, the aura that is subtly emitted is not something that ordinary people have, and even the two white-clothed girls beside her are not ordinary people. However, looking at it this way, those two white-clothed girls have an aura of martial power on their bodies, while that green-clothed girl does not."

  "Yes! This is strange, I don't know if it's a test, but can they have spiritual roots?"

  "This Dragon Continent has less spiritual energy, and people with spiritual roots are naturally extremely rare. Let alone those with top-notch spiritual roots. If ordinary people on the streets could cultivate their true bodies, then this Dragon Continent wouldn't be just a Dragon Continent."

  It was as if she sensed two gazes falling on her, and Tang Xin instinctively raised her head to look over, just catching a glimpse of the two figures sitting by the window, their faint aura making her heart skip a beat.

  Cultivator?

  She knew that those who first entered the immortal gate were called cultivators, and those who broke through the foundation period were called immortals. These two people were obviously cultivators who had broken through the foundation period, but how were they still on this side of Dragon Ascending Continent? Hadn't they found the strange treasure of Floating Cloud Mountain yet?

  "Mom, let's go in quickly, or there won't be any seats left." He had been here several times before, the business was booming and the food was delicious, he was craving for it. Following her around these days, he seemed to have transformed from a beast into a human being.

  Looking up at her beside him, she still doesn't know that he is actually "it". Thinking about whether to tell her or not, but then feels that it's okay either way, after all, she has already made a contract with it, she is its master, and this is just something she herself doesn't know yet.

  "Don't worry, one of the rooms on the second floor is always reserved for me." Tang Xin smiled and pulled his hand to walk inside.

  "It's been a long time since the young lady came." As soon as he saw her, the manager personally came up to greet her warmly: "There is a elegant room on the second floor, please let the young lady go upstairs, and think about what to eat and then let Xue Niang come to order."

  "Uh-huh." She responded lightly and led Fengfeng upstairs, with Xiaoyu following behind, while Xiaoxue stayed on the first floor to order food.

  "Little girl, how about coming in and sitting down?"

  A gray figure stood at the door of a side room, looking at her. Tang Xin smiled shallowly: "I don't know you, senior, and suddenly disturbing you is indeed not proper."

  "Heh heh, we're cultivators. We've come to the Dragon and Phoenix Continent to see if there are any suitable candidates for cultivation. You, little girl, have a pretty good aura about you. May I test you to see if you have the spiritual roots of a cultivator?"

  The moment the man's words came out, they shocked everyone around him and gathered around. The reason was that what he said was not loud, but it contained spiritual energy, and his words were clearly transmitted to the ears of the crowd, leaving people stunned.

  "Practitioner of immortality? There's actually a practitioner of immortality? Quick, go upstairs and take a look."

  The people on the first floor, upon hearing that there was a cultivator in the Lion's Building, came up one after another with excitement, but they didn't dare to offend and stayed at the staircase, not daring to move forward, fearing that they would startle the immortal.

  In their eyes, cultivators were just immortals who could wield swords to fly, perform magical spells, and set up boundaries. The power of cultivators was unmatched, even by warriors, let alone ordinary people. However, they had only heard of cultivators but never seen one before. Today, seeing those two with an air of elegance and refinement, wearing loose and simple robes, yet exuding a unique aura of immortals.

  Are they really immortals? Can they really ride swords and cast spells? What do they mean by testing the spiritual root? Are they saying that immortals are going to take in disciples?

  Thinking of this possibility, they were all extremely excited, as if hot blood was surging through their veins, stirring up waves of excitement. If they could be accepted as disciples by the immortal, even if they couldn't become immortals like them, they could still extend their lifespan and live a life like that of the gods, what a enviable life that would be?

  "Immortal, immortal, please accept us as your disciples!"

  At that moment, the densely packed people on the stairs all knelt down, hoping to be noticed and taken as a disciple by the immortal. Outside the Lion Building, the news of the presence of an immortal cultivator spread rapidly among the people, and one by one, they rushed to the Lion Building in a hurry. As soon as the news was spread, even Muran Yu, who was in the imperial palace, was shocked.

  "Could it be that a cultivator has arrived on the Dragon Ascending Continent? And is currently in the Lion's Building?" He was shocked to the extreme, and his heart was even more excited. Cultivation! That's not something that warriors can compare to, no matter how strong they are, even if he was a Martial Saint, but in the eyes of cultivators, he would be considered an insignificant figure. He had thought about going to the Tiger Roar Continent where the true cultivators resided, but because of his concerns about the perilous and deadly Dark Forest, he had been hesitant to make up his mind.

  "Yes! I heard that the two cultivators spoke up because they wanted to help Miss Tang test her spiritual root, and now all the citizens in the city are rushing there." The dark guard said respectfully.

  "Tang Xin?" He was taken aback, furrowed his brow and twisted it again, and it was Tang Xin again. Why did every matter seem to be related to Tang Xin? Tang Xin, just an ordinary woman, even if her beauty was unparalleled in the world, even if her movements were unpredictable, how could she even ask for help with cultivation?

  Could it be that this woman was always different from others?

  He was lost in thought for a moment, but the next instant he had darted out.

  Cultivator?

  In the Rui Wang Fu, after hearing the dark guard's report, Mu Chenfeng's eyebrows also furrowed. How did Tang Xin get involved with cultivators again? Thinking of her being ambushed by cultivators in the forest, he felt uneasy and got up to head out.

  But the host of Su's family, upon hearing this news, was also shocked and jumped up from his seat: "Really, a cultivator has come to Longteng Continent? Is he at Lion Tower right now? Quick, quick, follow me to take a look!"

  "Father, I heard that the people of the imperial city have gathered there, apparently because that immortal wants to recruit disciples on the Dragon Ascending Continent. However, it was Tang Xin who made that immortal speak up again." Su Zhen Nan said complicatedly, as if every matter would involve Tang Xin. What kind of ability did this woman have? She even caught the attention of an immortal who wanted to help her test her spiritual root? But with her being a waste who didn't even have martial arts skills, how could she possibly possess a spiritual root for immortality?

  "It's Tang Xin again." Su Ruoshui's expression changed slightly, Tang Xin was her nemesis! If it weren't for her, she wouldn't be afraid to see Emperor Di even now.

  "Come on! Let's go and take a look. If it's true that the immortal cultivators are here to recruit disciples, Town South, Ruo Shui, you must find a way to become their disciples. You know, the existence of immortal cultivators is extraordinary. If our Su family can produce an immortal cultivator, it will be a great honor."

  The two of them nodded after hearing this, they also knew that to become a disciple under a cultivator, it seemed like they had to undergo a test of their spiritual root. What was that thing? They didn't know, would they have it?

  Heart, nervous and yet looking forward to it.

  On the other hand, in the Lion Building, Tang Xin listened to their words and smiled slightly. Although she was a bit surprised by the favor, for some reason, she felt a little resistant in her heart. However, the strength of the two cultivators was not something she could resist, and the dignity of the cultivators was not something that the current her could offend. She had no choice but to obey.

  "Perhaps the two seniors don't know, but it's a well-known fact in this imperial city that I'm powerless and have no martial arts skills. Without even having martial arts skills, how can I possibly have a spiritual root to enter the immortal gate?" Her eyes flashed dimly, as if she had brought up some painful matter, and paused for a moment before continuing under the stunned expressions of the two people.

  "I was just an ordinary mortal, if I could have the opportunity to enter the immortal realm and follow two seniors, it would be my good fortune for ten lifetimes. Unfortunately..." She lightly lifted her sleeve to wipe away tears, but in fact secretly rolled her eyes.

  What's going on with these two? Out of thousands and tens of thousands, why did they pick her to test the spiritual root? Zi You said that top-grade immortal artifacts are something that even immortals would covet, but she couldn't gauge the strength of these two, and with a top-grade immortal artifact on her body, she was starting to get worried that they might discover it.

  "Yes, immortal one, Miss Tang really doesn't have any martial arts skills. Everyone in the city knows this. She doesn't even have martial arts skills, how could she possibly have a spiritual root?" Someone among the crowd said.

  The two cultivators were both stunned, they didn't expect that this girl with such a stunning appearance and an ethereal temperament would actually be an ordinary person without even the slightest bit of martial power? For a moment, the two exchanged a glance, and one of them said: "Actually, you don't need to lose hope, not having martial power doesn't mean you don't have spiritual roots. Let me help you test it out, and we'll know for sure."

  Her temperament and breath exuded an otherworldly aura, which emanated from her very being. Even cultivators rarely possessed such an ethereal aura as hers. This was clearly a top-notch talent. All they needed to do was test her, and they would know whether she had spiritual roots or not. If she truly did possess spiritual roots, with this extraordinary aura of hers, it must be an extremely rare heavenly spiritual root! If that were the case, then they had really struck gold.

  If it's really Tianling Root, then they must have gotten a reward for finding such a high-potential disciple for the Immortal Sect! Thinking of this, their gaze towards her became even more fervent, as if she was an undiscovered treasure trove.

  As she watched the two of them staring at her with eyes that seemed to gleam like treasure, Tang Xin felt a chill run down her spine, as if she had been targeted by prey. The feeling was very uncomfortable. But, testing Linggen? Although she hadn't tested it before, she had already entered the Lianqi stage. If they were to test her, would they notice? Just as she was worried about this, a gentle and soft voice suddenly appeared in her mind.

  "Don't worry, master, they won't be able to find out where it came from."

  Hearing Ziyu say this, she finally put her mind at ease and walked forward: "I wonder how the two seniors want to test?"

  "Hehe, come on in! We have a spiritual stone here to test your spiritual root." The two of them smiled at her and turned around to enter the room. Tang Xin hesitated for a moment, then told Xia Yu to watch Fengfeng before stepping inside alone.

  Because the second floor was not very big, and it was crowded with people, for a time, everyone looked around curiously, wanting to see what the test of spiritual roots by the immortals would be like? And whether Tang Xin had the spiritual roots required for cultivation? Would he be taken to the Immortal Realm by these two immortals?

  Everyone looked through the window and the door to the room, and saw that the two cultivators were sitting at the table. Suddenly, they took out a black stone from their hands and placed it on the table. Everyone was surprised and wondered where they had hidden the stone before, as they hadn't seen it earlier.

  "Press yourself against this testing spirit stone, then calm down and release the breath inside your body." One of them said, with an unmistakable tone of expectation.

  "Good."

  She stretched out her hand and placed it on the black stone, still feeling a hint of tension. As soon as her palm touched the black stone, she felt a surge of spiritual energy emanating from the stone and entering her body through her palm. The energy flowed rapidly through her body, and she gazed intently at the black stone with an unblinking stare. Her tension was rooted in the fear that others would discover the spiritual energy within her, but to the two cultivators watching, her tension appeared to be a concern that she lacked a spiritual root and was therefore unable to become a true cultivator.

  "No reaction?"

  Two cultivators stared at the black spirit stone in shock, seemingly not expecting this scene. They exchanged a bewildered glance and looked at Tang Xin again: "You try again." How could there be no reaction? This is impossible!

  "Good."

  She felt a slight relief and continued trying like that, her eyes fixed on the spirit stone, still no reaction, only then did she raise her head to look at the two of them.

  "How is this possible? There's no reaction at all?" The two were clearly disbelieving of the result, thinking that the Spiritual Root Testing Stone was broken. They stretched out their hands to try it themselves, and as soon as they did, a blinding flash of light shot out from the stone, astonishing the onlookers outside.

  Those two immortals put their hands on it and emitted a glow, but Tang Xin didn't, does that mean she doesn't have spiritual roots?

  "Elder, don't I have any spiritual roots?" Tang Xin's eyes drooped slightly, her expression filled with sadness and disappointment. The people around her let out a sigh of regret. They had thought that even if she didn't have martial arts abilities, perhaps she would test out to have spiritual roots after all, since the two immortals had such high hopes for her. But it seemed that wasn't the case either. It looked like this lifetime, she was destined to be just an ordinary person, just like them.

  "No."

  The scorching heat in the eyes of the two people dissipated, leaving only indifference. The smile on his face had also been withdrawn. Looking at her gaze was like looking at an inanimate object. He waved his hand at her: "You can go!"

  Tang Xin looked at them with a 'heartbroken' expression, wiping the corner of her eye with her sleeve, looking like she had been hit and was dispirited. She opened her mouth to speak but didn't say a word, finally turning around and leaving dejectedly.

  "Miss." Xia Xue and Xia Yu came forward together, both looking at her with concern.

  Phoenix blinked her beautiful eyes and looked at the two cultivators inside, then held Tang Xin's hand and said crisply: "Mother, don't be sad, Phoenix will take you to eat something delicious."

  "Heavens! What's that child called? I couldn't have misheard, could I?" Someone in the crowd stared at them in utter astonishment.

  "Call her mother, you didn't hear wrong, don't be so shocked, that child isn't born by her anyway."

  "How is that..."

  "Do you know what? It's because Miss Tang has a good heart, that child is an abandoned child, his parents didn't want him anymore, Miss Tang took him in and he's been calling her 'mother' ever since. These days, the young master of the Tang family often takes this kid out to play, I've seen them several times already."

  "I thought she had given birth to a son at some point." The person let out a light breath, clearly startled.

  At this time, Mu Tianyu also arrived at the Lion's Building. Upon hearing that Tang Xin's test did not reveal any spiritual roots, his eyes flickered slightly. He took big strides to enter the room, and with a respectful bow, he clasped his fists: "I am Mu Tianyu, it is an honor to meet the two sages. I didn't expect your esteemed presence in the Imperial City, and I apologize for not being able to greet you properly."

  Originally thought to have found a good seedling, but unexpectedly it was a useless waste without any spiritual roots. The mood of the two at this time is not very good either. Upon hearing Mu Tianyu speak up, a gaze containing pressure swept towards him, and he spoke in a cold tone: "Is there something?" A mere Martial Saint actually dares to come and chat with them, this Dragon Ascending Continent is really a place where no one can surpass the Martial Saint's cultivation.

  In the unseen, a powerful pressure came towards him, that was not the pressure of a warrior, but the sharp and piercing pressure of a cultivator, which made his body stiffen in an instant, and his heart was greatly shocked. Under this strong pressure, his knees unconsciously knelt down.

  "Wow!"

  A burst of noise erupted in the Lion's Building, and among the onlookers, aside from ordinary citizens, there were also many experts. Now, seeing the majestic ruler of a nation, Mu Tianyu, who had already reached the realm of Martial Sage, actually kneel down in public, the crowd was left stunned.

  The immortal is indeed an immortal, and even the Martial Saint has to kneel down, it's really too impressive!

  Mu Tianyou's heart was filled with shock and fear, not because he wanted to kneel down himself, but because of the overwhelming pressure that forced him to do so. He couldn't straighten his back or lift his head, and knelt on the ground in terror: "Immortal, please calm your anger! I didn't mean to disturb you, it's just that I heard you were going to search for people with spiritual roots in the imperial city to recruit them into the immortal sect, so I came here without permission."

  Upon hearing this, the two exchanged a glance, and their imposing aura subsided: "Oh? What business do you have with him? Your age has already passed the optimal period for cultivating spiritual energy, even if you were to awaken your spiritual root, it would be too late for you to join the Immortal Sect."

  These ruthless words are saying that he dislikes Mu Tianyu for being too old?

  Next door, Tang Xin smiled and curled up the corner of his mouth, listening to the sound coming from next door. He thought that Mu Tianyu was usually high above, but today he actually knelt down in front of everyone, although the person he knelt to was a cultivator, this made him furious, however, he couldn't vent his anger because his strength was not as good as the other party's.

  Are they a cultivator? They're actually feared by even the strongest martial artists, so just how strong are they? How much longer will she need to cultivate before she can make a name for herself in the cultivation world? Without having to curry favor with others?

  A black figure flashed into the room where she was, and upon closer inspection, a few black lines streaked across her forehead: "Mu Chenfeng, how is it you again? You're really a lingering ghost."

  Phoenix's eyes gleamed with a deep light as she glanced at her, without saying a word, and walked to the table edge to sit down.

  Xia Xue and Xia Yu exchanged a glance, seemingly accustomed to his sudden appearance. However, Feng's eyes rolled around, and she opened her mouth, mimicking Tang Xin's words, saying "The yin soul does not disperse."

  "What's wrong with you?" A cold gaze swept over him, carrying a warning tone, and instantly made Feng shrink his neck.

  Xia Xue and Xia Yu on the side covered their mouths and smiled lightly, Feng Feng is just a person who bullies the weak and fears the strong.

  "Alright, stop arguing." Tang Xin made a silencing gesture, indicating for them to listen quietly.

  Next door, two cultivators raised an eyebrow: "Oh? You're saying that we can spread the news and recruit people with spiritual roots?" This idea seemed not bad. If they could really find more good seedlings for the immortal sect, their contributions would be indispensable. Moreover, in the future, these seedlings would grow up and would never forget their kindness. For them, this matter had only advantages and no disadvantages.

  "Yes, the immortal can first go to the palace and live there, and I will treat him well. I believe that as soon as the news gets out, people from all sides will rush to the imperial city within three days." Since he is already unable to enter the immortal gate, he must maintain a good relationship with him, even if he stays on this Dragon Teng continent, his potential power in the future is also immeasurable.

  "Alright, in that case, you go take care of it then!"

  Listening to that lofty tone, Mu Tianyu was furious in his heart, but he didn't dare show it. He responded with a "yes" and retreated. At the same time, he also told the people not to gather around the Lion's Building, so as not to disturb the immortal's elegant mood. The people heard that they could take the test and were excited beyond measure. The Su family members who arrived later were overjoyed when they heard the news and prepared to come and take the test at the appointed time. For a while, because of the arrival of the immortal in the imperial city, everyone in the city was eagerly anticipating it with bated breath.

  "The fruit you asked me to find last time is not planted here, but I heard that there are wild ones in the mountain south of here, exactly as you described, but it's not called cherry, it's called car wheel." After the matter next door came to an end, Mufeng slowly opened his mouth.

  "Wild cherry blossoms?" Tang Xin's eyes lit up: "Which mountain in the south? Did you see them? Why didn't you help me pick some back."

  He glanced at her with tightly pursed lips and said, "I didn't see it, the firewood cutter who went up the mountain saw it, you want to go pick it yourself."

  She frowned upon hearing this, and thought to herself that she would go pick some. Since she knew her armband could be used for planting, she thought of first planting a cherry blossom tree. After all, not only did it look good, but its taste was also unforgettable. However, after inquiring for a long time, she couldn't find any information, so she asked him to help her ask around. Unexpectedly, he said that there were only wild ones.

  Isn't wild better? But you have to pick it yourself, which is a bit of a hassle.

  "Today I'm free anyway, Xiaoyu, you go back and tell them that I've gone to find wild cherries, so they don't have to wait for me to come home."

  "You're supposed to be my sparring partner this afternoon, did you forget?" Mu Chenfeng gave her a look, his gaze seeming to say, 'You forgot something you agreed to?'

  "Then just wait until I come back to practice again! There's no rush, besides, you've been pondering for so long and still haven't figured it out. Why don't we go find some cherries together? You should get out more and soak up the atmosphere, then you won't have that frighteningly cold aura about you." She said with a smile, watching him pour himself a cup of wine and take a sip, reminding her of his divine drunkenness, thinking to herself that one day she'd sneak into the Wang estate to fetch some.

  "That is a deep mountain, no one is there, where can we get the human aura?"

  "Are you going or not? Anyway, I've been idle lately, and I've been accompanying you all this time. It's only fair that you accompany me to find wild cherries! Besides, if we reach a high place and see any precious herbs, she can also ask him to help pick them!"

  "I won't go."

  "It's not like you can't go, unless you're planning on getting stabbed by me again someday. If that's the case, then you don't have to come with me. Although it's a bit hot today, this is the season when cherries are ripe, and if we can pick some, it'll be worth it." She raised an eyebrow, looking at him with a calm and collected expression, brazenly threatening him.

  So, in the end, Mu Chen Feng compromised, not because he was afraid of her threats, but because of his helplessness and indulgence towards her. He wanted to refuse her requests, but couldn't bring himself to do so. However, at that moment, when they went to Nan Shan to look for wild cherries, a silent danger was quietly approaching the Xiang Fu...

  The night was as quiet as a lake, but at this moment, the surroundings of the prime minister's mansion were filled with a terrifying killing aura. Dozens of black-clad men wielding knives leapt into the prime minister's mansion, quietly ending one life after another. The breath of fresh blood wafted through the air, startling several people who were drinking tea in the backyard.

  "What a strong smell of blood!" Tang Zihao stood up sharply, his narrow eyes gleaming with a fierce light, like a leopard lurking in the night, scanning the surrounding changes. When he sensed that something was off, he suddenly shouted loudly: "Xiaoyu, protect my mother!"

  Eight black figures emerged from the darkness, landing in front of them. With a serious expression, they said: "This is a formidable enemy! Their strength is stronger than any we've encountered before, and there's also an unknown powerful enemy lurking in the shadows. We'll hold them off, you leave here immediately!"

  "It must be someone sent by that cultivator!" Tang Zhengyu said with a serious expression.

  "Hurry up! If we're late, it'll be too late!" One of the eight immortals coldly shouted, signaling them to hurry.

  "But you..."

  "Our mission is to protect you, as long as you are safe, our mission is accomplished!" Their lives were already beyond their concern, but they couldn't let their master down. The master valued her family so much, and tonight's enemy was strong, they would fight to the death to keep them all safe!

  "Old master, mistress, young master, hurry up! If you don't leave now, it will be too late!" Xiaoyu was extremely anxious, pulling Baiyan with one hand and gesturing for them to leave quickly.

  The killing intent in front of them grew thicker, a powerful aura almost covering the entire Xiang Mansion. They knew that this time's enemy was extremely strong, and even if they stayed behind, they might not be their opponent's match. So, they said: "Then you all be careful!"
