Chapter Thirty-Six: Mu Chengzhi's Secret

  The fight between the two groups of young men ended in such a way that no one had expected.

  This matter also spread throughout the entire Red Maple Town in an instant, causing a sensation that shook the whole town. No one had expected that Mu Feng's cultivation was so powerful, not only did he send Jiang Yong and his brother flying with one punch, but he also killed Jiang Wei, whose cultivation was half a step away from becoming a Nascent Soul.

  However, apart from shock, the crowd was more worried about Mu's family. Because the person who was offended, Jiang Wen, was a notorious villain, and this time Mu's family was in trouble.

  Jiang Wen's fame was not only due to his being the number one in Red Maple Town for decades, but also because of his extremely protective personality, especially towards his only son Jiang Wei, whom he spoiled excessively, which also led to Jiang Wei's arrogance and disdain for everything.

  Jiang Wei's death this time will undoubtedly enrage Jiang Wen and the Seven Star Martial Arts Hall. By the time Jiang Wen arrives from Mocheng, the Mu family will also be facing a disaster.

  In the room, Mufeng sat cross-legged on the bed with his hands clasped together, cultivating his vital energy. His chest rose and fell gently, and with each breath, his vital energy formed a perfect cycle.

  Mufeng was also strange, the explosion of mysterious symbols in his palm, but this time the symbol saved him a life, but plunged him into a dangerous situation. Facing the anger of a strong Shaper, Mufeng and his family were hard to resist.

  After sending Meng Hu and Yang Zhan away, Lin Hui looked through the door at Mu Feng sitting cross-legged in the house and said to Mu Chengzhi: "Brother Zhi, is Feng okay?"

  Mo Chengzhi shook his head and said, "I've checked it out, Feng'er is just a bit weak, nothing serious."

  "But what's strange is that the wind, whether it's in terms of skin and bone density or the thickness of his meridians, is much stronger than that of a youth at the same level. Moreover, when he used the final move 'Wàn Liǔ Cháoyáng', I clearly saw the glow of Xuanli, but when I checked his body, there wasn't even a hint of Xuanli fluctuation, it's really beyond my understanding." Mù Chéngzhì said with some puzzlement, he too had noticed something strange about Mù Fēng recently.

  "Zhi Ge, what to do now? Jiang Wei is dead, and Jiang Wen will definitely not let it go. At that time, Feng Er will be in danger." Lin Hui's face was full of worry, she had heard about Jiang Wen's ruthlessness after all these years in Hong Feng Town.

  Mu Chengzhi was at a loss for words for a moment, and after pondering for a while, he did not speak.

  Lin Hui hesitated for a moment and said somewhat hesitantly: "Zhi Ge, why don't we arrange for Feng Er to avoid the clan for a while?"

  Mu Chengzhi sighed and said, "The clan has already expelled me from the family gate. Unless Feng'er reaches the state of Huaqi before the age of 16 and ranks in the top ten in the adult ceremony, we won't be able to return to the clan. If I ask them to take Feng'er back, I'm afraid Mu Yundao's elder won't agree."

  "Alas, I wonder if this is retribution? Back then, I was injured for mistakenly killing a fellow tribesman and was expelled from the tribe, forced to flee to Red Maple Town. Who would have thought that years later, Feng Er would also be left with no way out due to mistaken killing? It's truly a case of unjust fate." Mu Feng shook his head, a hint of bitterness appearing on his face.

  "Brother Mu, what should we do? Let's escape, take the wind and run far, far away, never to return to this Red Maple Town again." Lin Hui said, grasping Mu Chengzhi's arm.

  "Escape? Where can we escape to? Jiang Wu has already sent people to monitor us. We can't escape."

  Mo Chengzhi furrowed his brow, hesitated for a moment, and said: "Forget it, for Feng'er's sake, I'll send a message to Patriarch Mo Chuan, see if the clan can take action."

  As soon as he finished speaking, Mu Chengzhi suddenly froze. Lin Hui followed Mu Chengzhi's gaze to the door and saw Mu Feng standing there stupidly.

  ……

  Unable to resist Mu Feng's inquiry, Mu Chengzhi still poured out his past events.

  In the map block of the Great Wu Dynasty, there are five major counties: Tiandu County, Tianyan County, Tianxing County, Tian'an County, and Tianfeng County. In addition to the Huang clan martial arts family in Tianfeng County, there are four major forces: Fengyun Sect and three major clans - Mu clan, Lei clan, and Liu clan.

  Mu Chengzhi was a member of the Mu clan's "Cheng" generation. At that time, Mu Chengzhi was hot-headed and competitive, and during the coming-of-age ceremony, he accidentally killed one of his brothers from the same clan in a fit of rage.

  That man was the only son of Mu Yun Tang, the elder of the Mu family clan. Mu Yun Tang had a late-born son and heard that he died at the hands of Mu Cheng Zhi. In a fit of rage, he severely injured Mu Cheng Zhi. Although his life was spared due to the pleas of other elders, he was still expelled from the clan.

  Mo Chengzhi was forced to flee to Hongying Town, where he became a martial arts instructor at the Hongying Martial Arts Academy in order to survive. Due to his internal injuries, his martial arts skills were stuck at the stage of Qi transformation.

  The head of the Mu clan, considering his young age, promised that if Mu Chengzhi's child could break through to the Huaqi realm before the age of 16 and enter the top ten in the clan comparison during the coming-of-age ceremony, he would agree to let Mu Chengzhi return to the clan.

  However, Mu Feng's martial arts cultivation had yet to reach the initial stage of Lian Ti, which made Mu Cheng Zhi lose hope in returning to his clan. The reason he hid from Mu Feng was simply that he didn't want to add to Mu Feng's pressure and troubles.

  Unexpectedly, Mu Feng fell from Luoshen Peak, his cultivation surged greatly, and he brought a glimmer of hope to Mu Chengzhi once again.

  After all, Mufeng is only fifteen years old now, and it shouldn't be a big problem to break through to the Huaqi realm before he turns sixteen. However, another unexpected event occurred - the mistaken killing of Jiang Wei, which plunged the Mu family into crisis.

  After learning the truth, Mu Feng was shocked. He had originally thought that he had crossed over into a poor family, but unexpectedly his father was actually a member of the Mu clan, one of the three major families in Tianfeng County.

  "Bang!"

  Mu Feng knelt down and choked with sobs: "Father, mother, I'm unfilial, I've brought trouble to you."

  Lin Hui hastily helped Mu Feng up, and her eyes also reddened as she said pitifully: "Feng, we already know the whole story. This matter can't be blamed on you, if you hadn't used all your strength, the one who would have died would have been you."

  "Dad, Mom, if Jiang Wen comes looking for me, just hand me over. He shouldn't give you any trouble."

  "No way, my son Mu Chengzhi is not someone who can be easily manipulated by others. Even if Jiang Wen is a master of the Causal Realm, he wants to swallow our Mu family, I will make him lose two teeth." The silent Mu Chengzhi's cold and proud face showed a hint of chilliness.

  At this moment, Mofeng deeply felt the importance of strength. Without strength, on this Sacred Profound Continent, one would be like an ant, at the mercy of others, with no power to resist.

  For several days, the Mu Feng family had not left their house, but Hong Feng Town was already abuzz with the news that Jiang Wen would soon be coming to their doorstep to avenge his son. In Hong Feng Town, a master of the Shaping Realm was an invincible existence.

  Mufeng has always been sitting cross-legged on the bed to cultivate his heart, and he is also grasping time to improve his own strength. If it really doesn't work, he decides to use the power of Qingfeng Tianzun's one palm left in the Wind Seal Demon Array.

  With his current strength, even if he uses that one palm of power, the best result would be spending the rest of his life in bed, because his physical strength is fundamentally unable to withstand the impact of Xuanli.

  However, even if the consequences are severe, Mu Feng has made up his mind and will absolutely not let Jiang Wen harm Mu Chengzhi's couple.
