Chapter 161 (1/2)

Xiao Chen wiped off the tears on Li Muxue’s face and said softly, “Predecessor Qingfeng asked for me, and it’s about the Patriarch Guanshan. Shall I go first?”

Li Muxue nodded and said, “I’m with you.”

Xiao Chen smiled gently. “Are you going to go like this? Maybe Predecessor Zi Mo might say that I am bullying you again.”

“Humph! Are you not?”

When the two people returned to the yard, Li Muxue washed away the tears on her face, and the two went down the mountain, heading the Coalesced Colors Hall.

When they arrived at the Coalesced Colors Hall, the atmosphere was solemn, and everyone’s face was dignified. Xiao Chen and Li Muxue stood in the middle. They first bowed to Perfected Immortal Qing Chen who was at the head of the temple and then greeted several other people.

Perfected Immortal Qing Chen said, “Save the courtesy, Xiao Chen. Please sit down.”

Xiao Chen and Li Muxue walked over and sat next to the two elders, Zi and Qing. The Perfected Immortal Qing Chen said again, “This time, the calamity in the East Continent is almost as serious as the one in the Middle Continent before. The person who was full of Devil Qi just destroyed a few sects and then went missing. But Patriarch Guanshan wants to bloodbath the whole East Continent…”

Xiao Chen knew that the person mentioned must be Gu Feng who ran out from the ancient tomb in the back of his family’s mountain. It was very much related to Xiao Ning, his true ancestor, and what happened thousands of years ago.

Outside and inside the temple, many people had indignation in their hearts after hearing this. A true devil still had his mercy, but Patriarch Guanshan, who was also a cultivator, actually did such a thing against human nature.

Qingfeng nodded and faced Xiao Chen, saying, “So, Xiao Chen, I discussed with several brothers. And we decide to let you ask Huashang sisters back.”

“Me?” Xiao Chen pointed to himself, and he was somewhat puzzled. He thought that there are now five people out of the Seven Sons. Why they let him do this since there were so many choices?

Yu Yifeng said, “Junior Brother Xiao, there’s something you don’t know. Martial Uncle Huashang established a sect named Heartless Palace in the Falling Flowers Valley decades ago. They have never been in contact with other sects, especially the Jade Qing Sect members. So, you are our only hope.”

When Xiao Chen heard Heartless Palace, he was stunned. Chu Lingjiao was one of the Heartless Palace! Last time in Zhou State, they seemed to have made enemies. Was it really good for him to go to the Heartless Palace?

Li Muxue said, “I will go with you.”

Just then, a clear voice came from outside the hall. “It’s better for me and Junior Sister Li to do this.”

Everyone looked back—it was Mu Shaoai walked in. He entered the hall, and his eyes were fixed on Li Muxue. Zi Mo squinted at him and said sarcastically, “You? Are you going to die there? Get lost!”

“You……”

Mu Shaoai was the great disciple of Yuheng Zi. His talent was not bad, and he entered the Core Forming Realm a few years ago. So, he was more or less self-conceit. Although he knew that Zi Mo was his Martial Uncle Xiaoyao, he felt greatly unhappy being humiliated in front of so many people.

Zi Mo stood up and said, “What? Go on!” Although he looked funny in normal days, his cultivation was the most unfathomable one in the Seven Sons. No one knew how strong he was. So, what he said had a certain majesty, and Mu Shaoai was shocked and unable to speak at the scene.

Yu Hengzi coughed and said, “Shaoai, you step back.”

“Yes, master.” Mu Shaoai now had reason to step back, so he immediately stepped back with a clasp of his hands and walked out of the hall.

Zi Mo was still angry. “Damn it. How dare he refute back to me!”

Yu Hengzi smiled obsequiously and said, “Junior Brother Xiaoyao, why bother with the disciples.” Although he said this, he knew in his heart that Xiaoyao Zi had never been able to get along with himself before. He came back this time and remained the same.

Then, everyone agreed that tomorrow, Xiao Chen and Li Muxue would go to the Heartless Palace and ask Huashang back. Getting out of the hall, Yu Yifeng stopped him and said, “Little Chen, My Martial Uncle Huashang’s temper is perverse. You must not mention the names of other Jade Qing Sect members in the Heartless Palace. You can only mention Martial Uncle Qingfeng. Tell her that Martial Uncle Qingfeng let you invite her.”
