Chapter 542

~8 min read 1,456 words

"The Four Evils of Wushan didn't go to loot the mine, but to kill Song Wenxuan. They snatched the Four Evils of Wushan's spiritual herb, and Senior Brother Liu let them enter the mine to take refuge... The Four Evils of Wushan killed their way in, and Xu Yang sat on the sidelines, letting the Four Evils of Wushan kill Senior Brother Liu and Song Wenxuan's group of three before leaving."

He Song didn't hide the process he had inquired about and told Liu Qingyuan everything.

"He actually even harmed Wenxuan to death!" Liu Qingyuan's anger grew even stronger after hearing this.

Although it wasn't Xu Yang who took action personally, this was no different from Xu Yang taking action personally. If Xu Yang had helped, how could Liu Xunjiang have died at the hands of the Four Evils of Wushan?

"This little beast is clearly holding a grudge because I helped Li Chuyang back then, so he sat and watched Xunjiang be killed by the Four Evils of Wushan. He deserves to die," Liu Qingyuan was filled with grief and indignation.

He didn't care at all that Xu Yang had advised Liu Xunjiang, and didn't care if Xu Yang would have been killed by the Four Evils of Wushan if he had taken action.

He only knew that Xu Yang, as the expert guarding the mine, had watched his nephew be killed by the Four Evils of Wushan.

"Master, should the disciple go to the Law Enforcement Hall to file a complaint, have the people from the Law Enforcement Hall bring him back, and punish him for the crime of disregarding fellow sect friendship and dereliction of duty?" He Song asked.

Liu Qingyuan shook his head: "This little beast is very shrewd. He did things without any flaws. It's useless."

Although he was angry, his head was still very clear.

For an ordinary disciple, with his status, even if things were done without any flaws, he could still pursue it.

But with Xu Yang's talent, Elder Huoyun would definitely not sit by and watch the Law Enforcement Hall act recklessly. Bringing Xu Yang back would at most lead to some bickering, and even if he were punished, it would be some painless punishment.

Fifth on the Ten Elites List, a genius expected to undergo the second Dragon Ascension. Without committing any mistakes, even if he harmed his nephew to death, he, an elder, couldn't do anything. The Law Enforcement Hall could only handle it impartially.

Handling it impartially meant Xu Yang was not at fault. The mine was not a sanctuary; it was Liu Xunjiang who provoked the disaster himself.

What he wanted was for Xu Yang to die and be buried with his nephew!

Letting Xu Yang continue to stay at Moon Lake gave him a chance to kill Xu Yang. Bringing Xu Yang back was instead giving Xu Yang protection.

"You go down the mountain immediately and tell the Song family!" Liu Qingyuan said.

One Xu Yang naturally wasn't worth him taking action personally, and Elder Huoyun was probably watching him now, so even if he wanted to take action, he had no chance.

"Yes!"

He Song cupped his fists, turned, and retreated.

The Song family was one of the ten great families in Qingyang City, with a deep foundation and a family heritage exceeding a hundred years. At its most glorious time, one family once had two or three Heavenly Origin experts at the same time.

"Wenxuan!"

Song family head Song Shirong's voice was desolate, his eyes splitting.

His son Song Wenxuan went to the Yunling Mountain Range to train and actually died.

Although Song Wenxuan was not his son with the best innate talent, he was the one he loved the most and was very much like him when he was young.

"Family Head Song, please restrain your grief!" He Song said in a low voice.

"The Four Evils of Wushan actually dared to kill the third brother. They simply deserve to die."

Song Shirong's eldest son, Song Wenshan, had killing intent on his face: "Father, please allow the child to lead people into the Yunling Mountain Range and kill the Four Evils of Wushan to avenge Wenxuan and the others."

The Four Evils of Wushan killed Song family young masters and Song family experts. If this grudge was not avenged, how would the Song family stand in the future?

As the future head of the Song family, he had to lead people to kill the Four Evils of Wushan himself.

"The Four Evils of Wushan deserve to die, and this Xu Yang also deserves to die!"

Song Shirong's gaze was cold: "Wenxuan and the others begged to enter the mine, yet he didn't take them in, and later sat and watched the Four Evils of Wushan commit murder. If he had taken action, how could Wenxuan have died? He is no different from the Four Evils of Wushan who killed Wenxuan."

"He indeed also deserves to die, treating my Song family as nothing. But Father, he is fifth on the Ten Elites List. If we kill him, it won't be easy to explain to the Profound Heaven Sect," Song Wenshan reminded.

Xu Yang was not an ordinary disciple, but a genius ranked fifth on the Ten Elites List, deeply loved by Elder Huoyun.

For his sake, Elder Huoyun directly forced the Sect Master and Li Songhe to change the Ten Elites List in advance.

Even if the Song family was one of the ten great families, they couldn't afford to provoke the Profound Heaven Sect.

Song Shirong sneered: "Who said my Song family wants to kill the Profound Heaven Sect's genius? Wenxuan was killed by the Four Evils of Wushan, what does it have to do with Xu Yang?

However, bandits run rampant in the Yunling Mountain Range. If some bandits break into the mine to loot ore and kill people, it also has nothing to do with my Song family."

He Song laughed: "Family Head Song is right. The Profound Heaven Sect's genius cannot be killed. However, in a place like the Yunling Mountain Range, there are many accidents, and it's very normal for a genius or two to die."

"I understand!" Song Wenshan cupped his fists.

They couldn't come openly, they could only come secretly. As long as they didn't leave any evidence, with Elder Liu Qingyuan maneuvering in the Profound Heaven Sect, there wouldn't be any problems.

"You gather the people first, go and find the Four Evils of Wushan, don't move Xu Yang for now," Song Shirong said.

Although he wanted to kill Xu Yang now, he knew he couldn't be too impatient. If things were done too obviously, Elder Huoyun wasn't a fool either.

They didn't know at all that as long as they didn't send out Heavenly Origin experts, Elder Huoyun wouldn't care about this matter at all.

Moon Lake!

Living in seclusion for many consecutive days, Xu Yang finally consolidated his Marrow Cleansing Major Success cultivation, the whole body blood exchange ended, and his body entered a normal state.

The heart blood, like mercury, was pushed by the heart to nourish his whole body at all times.

He discovered that after his cultivation broke through, the cultivation of the Immovable Bright King Body became simpler, and the speed of body tempering far exceeded the past.

However, this was not the biggest change in Marrow Cleansing. The other biggest change in Marrow Cleansing was something else—spirituality.

Yes, spirituality!

The rebirth ended, the old blood was replaced by new blood, and he discovered that his body seemed to have given birth to spirituality.

This kind of spirituality was very similar to the fluctuations emitted by spirit iron and spiritual herbs, but it might be because he had just entered this realm, and this kind of spirituality was difficult to capture.

If it weren't for his powerful mind and cultivated blade intent, he might not have discovered this change.

There was another change—enlightenment.

These past few days, besides cultivation, he basically used his time to perceive the nature of heaven and earth.

Although he didn't perceive anything powerful, he discovered that this kind of perception could increase his mind and restore his mind.

Especially after cultivating the Blood Prison Heart Blade Scripture, this feeling became even more obvious. Even if he didn't sleep, the consumed mind could be restored using this method.

"Senior Brother Xu, Senior Brother Zhou is back." Suddenly a disciple reported from outside the gate.

Xu Yang stopped his cultivation and walked out of the courtyard, seeing Zhou Jiang following a middle-aged man, walking into the mine.

This middle-aged man was none other than Zhao Qing, who had some relationship with Xu Yang.
