Chapter 1231: with translation of chapter title

The Mulong family discussed for a long time, but they couldn't reach a decision.

That world cannot be entered for now; if someone wants to die, they can go in privately—don't say they weren't warned.

In short, for now they cannot break free from that world's suppression, so they cannot enter it; moreover, the Mulong family has many other things to do, and they cannot expend too much on that small world.

That world is ultimately not their main target; too many eyes are on it. The Mulong family's goal is to control Cangzhou and seize the Mangshan Mountain Range; although they failed once, that cannot stop their progress.

The matter of Tian Du Men has been exposed; it cannot be said they failed. Instead, the Mulong family will increase manpower and attack from other angles, for the Mangshan Mountain Range holds far more treasures than that small world—so many times more that they are incomparable.

Afterwards, Mulong Tian asked: "Son, is that world really so difficult to control?"

Mulong Wenlong immediately replied: "Father, how much have our people sacrificed? In the end, nothing changed; instead we suffered many losses—several of our people died, even Wenshan perished there. I want to avenge Wenshan. Father, do you know why I have remained inactive?"

Mulong Tian raised his head, furrowed his brows, and said: "Is it truly that dangerous?"

Mulong Wenlong shook his head: "It's not worth it; that world isn't worth such a massive effort. Other powers are also watching, hoping we'll enter it—how could I not know their intentions?"

"Not only did our Mulong family suffer a setback, other clans likely did too. So far, they've shown no movement. The Mulong family has more important matters; Tian Du Men's side failed, losing some clansmen, and the Mangshan Mountain Range front has regressed instead of advancing."

"The plan is obstructed; we cannot proceed further. These problems all need to be resolved."

Who has the time to manage all that? The benefits from that world are too meager; it's not worth their effort.

It's unclear how much they've invested, but the Mulong family is shifting its focus to Cangzhou rather than that world.

Shifting focus, the matter of revenge will be discussed later; it's not that he doesn't want to avenge Mulong Wenshan, but... it's not the time yet.

After hearing his son's explanation, Mulong Tian nodded and said: "Then do as you said."

"The death of Mulong Zhenshan cannot go unsettled; go investigate why he went to that world and who killed him." Mulong Tian did not want Mulong Zhenshan to die without clarity—he was a Seek Dao Realm expert of the Mulong family; how could he die so easily?

Who the enemy is must be remembered; we cannot take revenge now, but we will surely do so later.

Mulong Wenlong nodded: "I understand, son; I have already sent people to investigate."

In fact, he already had the answer in his heart: only one person could achieve that in that world; no one else could.

There's no need to investigate; he could directly know who the killer was, but he didn't answer outright, instead giving his father Mulong Tian a vague reply.

"You've worked hard, son; when you investigate, don't go into that world."

Mulong Tian reminded him, not wanting his son before him to die there, nor to be forever separated from the living and dead.

"I will remember, son." Mulong Wenlong felt warm inside; his father still cared deeply for him.

The death of Mulong Zhenshan did not spread.

The Mulong family also didn't cause a big commotion; only insiders knew, outsiders remained unaware.

How long they can keep this secret, how long they can keep it secret—they don't want the Mulong family to attract attention from other forces, after all, killing a Seek Dao Realm expert is no small matter.

On Longshe Shan.

The formation was closed; the path of plunder was temporarily halted.

After killing Mulong Zhenshan, Chen Chuyang did not immediately close the formation; he waited a long time before shutting it down. This instance of plundering Tianwai spiritual energy is thus temporarily concluded; the commotion was too great, and he does not want another Seek Dao Realm expert to appear.

Although slaying Mulong Wenshan wasn't a major feat, that battle let Chen Chuyang stretch his muscles and realize that Seek Dao practitioners were not as strong as he imagined; yet he could not be arrogant, nor could he underestimate the Mulong family.

Mulong Zhenshan is not the strongest in the Mulong family; there are several such experts, unknown to anyone.

For the safety of this world, Chen Chuyang dare not act recklessly; after all, Mulong Zhenshan's death will surely reach the Mulong family immediately, and they will soon locate that passage. He must wait until this turmoil passes before slowly resuming the plundering.

Next time, he will be more covert, so they won't detect him.

Grandmother Long Zetian kept staring at Chen Chuyang; her eyes never shifted, from the outside onward, never once moving.

"Grandma, could you stop staring at me? It's creepy." Chen Chuyang couldn't take it and spoke up.

Long Zetian withdrew her gaze; up to now she still hasn't come to her senses, her eyes still trembling.

"Chuyang, did you kill Mulong Zhenshan?"

It felt like a dream; that was a Seek Dao Realm expert of the Mulong family, with unfathomable strength—against him, she could only flee.

Yet in Chen Chuyang's hands, he was beaten to death in a few moves; that scene was truly shocking.

With bare hands, he killed Mulong Zhenshan face‑to‑face—not relying on a spiritual artifact's might, nor on formation power, but by pure fist strikes, hardly using any divine abilities.

Killing him with brute strength—nothing could be more shocking than this moment.

The scene kept replaying in her mind; Long Zetian still could not... believe it.

"What else?" Chen Chuyang spread his hands: "Grandma, you saw it yourself—just killing a Seek Dao Realm expert; is it worth such a fuss?"

"I already said, Grandma need not panic; a Seek Dao Realm expert poses no threat to me."

Seek Dao Realm indeed poses no threat to him; if it were a True Realm expert, Chen Chuyang would pay a little more attention.

If a Dao Realm expert came, Chen Chuyang would be even happier—such an opponent would be interesting.

He is no longer what he once was; Mulong Zhenshan's arrival is merely like delivering vegetables.

He need not reveal his trump cards; relying on brute force alone he could kill him in a few moves—there's no challenge.

"He's too weak; after a few punches he couldn't hold up, and I haven't even exerted myself yet."

Long Zetian: "……"

She did not think this kid was boasting or pretending; it was true, witnessed firsthand.

Indeed, after killing Mulong Zhenshan, Chen Chuyang's clothes remained clean, not a speck of dust on them.

That is extremely exaggerated.

"Kid, when did you become so heaven‑defying?" Long Zetian kept drawing in breaths, truly unable to comprehend how this child could be so monstrous.
