Chapter 5 Losing Status (The Fifth Watch)

  "Why?"

  "Master, once a task is given, you must choose to accept or decline. If you decline, then later on, your only options will be to cultivate immortality or demonic powers."

  "Alright, then I'll wait." Su Ming yawned and rubbed his mouth, feeling a bit helpless. He was very curious about this task.

  "Master, you already possess high-level martial skills. With your current abilities, you can use the Cloud Dispelling Palm once, which can defeat a late-stage Mortal Heart Realm cultivator."

  The words of the little elf eased Su Ming's depressed mood a lot.

  The Divine Continent is divided into Xian, Shen and Mo. Due to the mysterious disappearance of the Immortal Realm, the scattered immortals became the highest level in Xian cultivation. As time passed, Xian cultivation lost its dominant position on the continent, which was also the reason why Su Ming chose to cultivate Shen.

  "First find a suitable weapon for yourself, and then consider what conversion task to do later." Su Ming said in a low voice, after which he pushed open the wooden door and ran out of the wooden house.

  His father was the great leader of the tribe and must have collected some good treasures. With these treasures, even if the task is difficult, it's not a problem.

  The house where Su's family lived was built with giant stones, the walls, dressing table, stools and beds inside the house were all carved out of stone, the carvings were also exquisite and delicate. Although the structure was simple, it emitted an endless ancient beauty. In the stone courtyard, some flowers and grasses were planted, adding some vitality to the small courtyard.

  Following the route in his memory, Su Ming ran to the small courtyard where his father lived. Before he could even shout out "Father", he saw two squad leaders of the tribe throwing his parents' clothes out of the house with extremely rough movements.

  "What are you doing?" Su Ming's eyebrows furrowed slightly as he asked sternly.

  Upon hearing Su Ming's voice, the two squad leaders sneered and smiled: "I was wondering who it was. It turns out to be our young master from the Su family."

  In his memory, these two squad leaders were from the same faction as his uncle, and had always been at odds with his father. However, his father was the bravest warrior in the clan and the great leader, so they didn't dare to come here and mess around even if they had the guts. Had his father been punished because of yesterday's battle?

  "Who let you mess around in my father's house, aren't you afraid that my father will kill you?" Su Ming gritted his teeth and said angrily. He now wants to figure out what's going on. His young master identity hasn't even warmed up yet, he doesn't want to lose it just like that.

  "Little master, you don't know yet, your father was stripped of his position as Grand Leader by the Tribal Chief for violating tribal rules and can never assume the position again. We're now helping him pack up so he can move out of the Grand Leader's residence as soon as possible."

  The squad leader's yin-yang tone made Su Ming extremely uncomfortable, and at the same time proved that his previous guess was correct. His father had really lost everything, and his young master identity was also gone.

  "Even so, my parents' things are not something you can just throw around randomly. Pick it up and put it back, or don't blame me for being impolite." Su Ming yelled angrily.

  Two team leaders glanced at Su Ming, with a hint of disdain in their eyes. They ignored him and continued to throw Su Han's belongings out of the house. Both of them were mid-term ordinary realm cultivators, stronger than Su Ming, who was not even worth their attention.

  "You're looking for trouble."

  Su Ming let out a furious roar, his fists clenched tightly as he strode angrily towards the two squad leaders.

  When Su Ming saw them coming, the two team leaders sneered and couldn't find a reason to clean up Su Ming. Now that Su Ming had delivered himself to their doorstep, they would definitely not let go of this opportunity.

  The two of them exchanged a glance, and then their spiritual energy stirred as they walked out of the stone house to greet Su Ming. Although Su Ming's innate talent was not bad, his cultivation was only at the middle stage of Mortal Heart Realm, and he was fundamentally no match for the two of them.

  Su Ming was still a few meters away from the two captains when he let out a low growl in his heart, and Cloud Shadow Step was activated at the first moment, instantly increasing his speed, and he flew towards the two small captains like a flying step. Before the two small captains could react, Su Ming's hands formed a seal, and he used the high-level Mortal Stage martial skill - Paiyun Palm.

  A sudden slap made the two squad leaders unable to react, and they were blasted off with a double palm strike on their chests, directly blasting them into the stone wall before falling down, both mouths bleeding profusely, clearly injured.

  At the mid-term, Fang Xing's cultivation of using advanced martial skills is equivalent to a full-force blow from a late-term Fang Xing. Meanwhile, Su Ming also borrowed the acceleration of Yun Zong's stealth attack, and was able to defeat two mid-term Fang Xings with one blow, injuring them.

  "Get out." Su Ming glared at the two of them angrily.

  Two team leaders looked at Su Ming in terror, then scrambled to their feet and left the Grand Marshal's courtyard, supporting each other. After they left, Su Ming's legs went limp and he knelt to the ground, having exhausted all his spiritual energy from using high-level mortal martial skills earlier.

  The levels of martial arts in the mainland of Fengshen: Ancient Divine Technique, Purple Star Immortal (Magic) Technique, Heavenly Mansion True Technique, Earthly Spirit Technique, Ordinary Martial Arts. Each level is divided into three sub-levels: high, middle and low.

  In the midst of this situation, Su Ming felt a sense of helplessness due to his relatively weak spiritual energy. At that moment, he told himself in his heart that he must work hard to increase his strength and definitely not let others bully him or his family.

  Su Ming, feeling defeated and unwilling, moved out of the main courtyard with his parents to a small hut where ordinary members of the Su family lived. Although the conditions were simple, they were still much better than the fallen tent.

  I heard from my father that this time he has committed the most serious crime in the tribe. If it weren't for him being the first brave warrior of the tribe and having some prestige after leading for many years, I'm afraid he would have been put to death. You know his several older brothers are dreaming of his death.

  "Su Ming, your father's lineage is counting on you. You must cultivate diligently and strive to reach the Pre-Heavenly realm as soon as possible." Su Han patted Su Ming's shoulder with a solemn expression.

  When Su Ming heard his father's words, he nodded. He knew that Su Han had lost his position in the clan because of him, but instead of mentioning it to Su Ming, he encouraged him. This kind of paternal love was something Su Ming had never experienced in his previous life.

  Su Ming turned his head to look at Su Han, and at this time he saw the disappointment in Su Han's eyes. His heart ached as he realized that his father's strength was just an act. His father, who had always regarded being the clan leader as his life, had forever lost the qualification to hold the position, and must be feeling extremely difficult to bear.

  Su Ming choked back a smile: "Father, if I can come back from the dead, I can stand up again. Don't worry about me, everything we lost, I will take back."

  "It's no wonder you're Su Han's child, having such ambition. I hope you can enter the Innate Realm soon." Su Han stretched out his right hand and patted Su Ming's shoulder, a relieved smile on his face. At this moment, Su Ming was the most important person in his life after losing the position of Great General.
