To Kill The Exposed

xIn the face of such humiliation, Li Chengfeng wanted to scream, 'To h.e.l.l with the Spiritual Mountain Sect! I don't need them!'

Five generations of Li patriarchs from the Cleansing Moon Sect had gone insane from cultivation. They tried to use force to pave a path, but as if possessed by the devil, all of them went insane in the process.

It wasn't until Li Chengfeng's generation where it seemed to stop. Since childhood, Li Chengfeng realized he had neither inner power nor true qi, this meant there was something wrong with his meridians. Other than physical martial arts, he couldn't even train his internal martial arts skills. Hence, there was no need to even consider cultivation as an option.

Li Chengfeng had long since abandoned the thought. But, Madam Xie on the other hand never did. To restore the name of the Li Family from the Moon Cleansing Sect back to its glory was the one dream that she wanted to achieve no matter what!

This was the dream that her husband was obsessing over before he went insane.

If her husband could not carry the dream to fruition, it is only natural that it will become her son's burden to bear. Moreover, because Madam Xie knew that the birth of her son followed a spiritual vision, he could not have been a mere mortal! This was why no matter how many hards.h.i.+ps she endured or how wronged she felt, she was determined to realize the dream that the Li family had been chasing for over a century, and to give meaning to the lives that have been sacrificed for the past five generations!

Of course, Li Chengfeng knew all about this!

His own mother went through all the humiliation and sacrifice just to get this one chance… one chance for the Li family of the Cleansing Moon Sect to be restored to their former glory! Once the world's most brilliant sect, a sect so powerful the world trembled at their very presence, the Cleansing Moon sect was now in ruins; Li Chengfeng left as the only heir of that generation.

He was the future of the entire sect! He was the hope that everyone in the Li family had saved their funds for!

Although Li Chengfeng did not want to carry such a heavy responsibility on his shoulders, he also could not bear to hurt the family that has been there for him and loved him the most.

To kneel, or not to kneel?!

Li Chengfeng was stuck between a rock and a hard place.

A pin-drop silence covered the hall as everyone's gaze fell upon Li Chengfeng. Sun Boren stared at him coldly, as if he was looking at a small insect.

Li Chengfeng was shaking, gritting his teeth so hard that blood was almost drawn from his mouth. “I care not even if you are the king of the G.o.ds! bow to you? I would rather die than yield!” Li Chengfeng would have said if it were up to him. But as he subconsciously glanced at Madam Xie, his cold heart suddenly went soft. With tears in his eyes, Li Chengfeng knelt down in front of Sun Boren.

His mother could endure such humiliation, just so that he could have a chance to climb up Qingyun's palace. So how could he, her son, not be able to endure the same humiliation just to fulfill his mother's wish as well?

[T/L note: to climb up Qingyun's palace means that to could climb up the ranks so high, it would be the equivalent of the palaces of the G.o.ds ]

To many people, Li Chengfeng may seem like a defiant brute with a bad personality known as 'The Earthly Demon King of Cheng'an', but deep down he was a filial son.

Sun Boran guffawed as he arrogantly extended his hand and pressed it on top of Li Chengfeng's head.

Li Chengfeng couldn't help but tremble. He only felt a cold s.h.i.+ver coming from the top of his head towards his body. And in a blink of an eye, his vision went pitch black. Li Chengfeng was immediately rendered unconscious.

“Young master!” Zhao Xiaobao shouted worriedly. Just as Xiaobao was about to rush over to his young master, Sun Boren side-eyed him.

“Begone!” shouted Sun Boren.

Green Bead who was nearby quickly held onto Zhao Xiaobao. Zhao Xiaobao panted heavily as he stared at his unconscious young master with all the patience he could muster.

“Eh?” Sun Boren gasped in shock. After he had just touched Li Chengfeng once, he proceeded to glance at him questioningly.

“Master, how is it?”, Madam Xie nervously asked, her eyes following Sun Boren.

Sun Boren looked as if he just saw a ghost! “I… I've never seen anyone with such qualifications!” he stuttered.

Madam Xie and the rest of the household was filled with joy when they heard! Green Bead couldn't help but wipe off her tears, “I always knew that young master was smart and talented, he's an extraordinary person!” she cried happily.

Madam Xie looked at Sun Boren with antic.i.p.ation gleaming in her eyes.
