Chapter 324: Chapter 265: Secret Plot (Congratulations to Alliance Hierarch Tianxing Wuxie)

Mu Family ancestral hall.

Family Head Mu Wanlu, Core Formation Elder Mu Wanqing, Mu Wandao, Mu Qingfeng, and several Fake Core Deacons were all present.

In recent years, the Mu Family had been on the decline, with no new Jiedan Cultivators emerging.

Conversely, the number of Fake Core Deacons had diminished significantly.

At this moment, Mu Wanlu, dressed in a golden magic robe, sat in the principal seat, exuding an air of authority.

Yet between his brows lingered shades of worry.

Only after becoming the Family Head did he realize that this position was like sitting on a volcano, with internal family strife and external pressures descending one after another...

Even though Mu Wanlu considered himself to have a plethora of tactics, he was still overwhelmed.

"If it were a family on the rise, the benefits obtained would be enough to smooth over the dissatisfaction among the various branches... But the family is currently on the decline... Fortunately, Mu Wanlong relinquished everything, and through cutting the flesh of his branch, we can barely maintain a superficial harmony within the family, but this can’t last for long..."

Mu Wanlu glanced around and inquired, "Has Elder Wanlong been invited to this family meeting?"

After the former Family Head stepped down, he automatically assumed the role of a family elder.

"A Sound Transmission Talisman has been sent."

Mu Wanqing answered.

He was somewhat puzzled in his heart. Even though Mu Wanlong’s Soul Lamp had flickered like a candle in the wind in recent years, it stubbornly refused to be extinguished, still occupying a Fourth Rank Cave Mansion.

That was the cave with the best spiritual energy on Baihua Mountain!

Did he plan to occupy it until death?

Despite this, the man had previously acted with high integrity by voluntarily giving up a vast amount of benefits, and even personally severed an arm to slay Gua Banxian.

Everyone in the Mu Family dared not say anything further.

On the contrary, if he dared to extend his hand further, he would definitely be criticized for lacking backbone—after all, this was a family, not a criminal gang!

Even within gangs, they would uphold a facade of righteousness on the surface.

"Cough cough..."

Before long, ’Mu Wanlong,’ with an aged face, graying hair, and occasionally coughing, entered the ancestral hall: "Alas... In such a troubled autumn, to think that even an old man like me must be disturbed..."

"Elder, please take the seat of honor."

Mu Wanlu stood up and expressed respect to Fang Xing.

This was a clever man, knowing that his position as Family Head came from Fang Xing’s law and order.

Therefore, to sit firmly, he at least had to show a semblance of filial piety and righteousness on the surface, which was the magic technique for maintaining the family’s unity.

"En."

Fang Xing shakily took his seat, listening as Mu Wanqing began talking about some of the troubles the Mu Family had recently encountered: "The White Crane Sect, it seems, will not rest until it is done with our family... and the Supreme Elder of White Crane Sect, ’White Crane Sage,’ has now broken through to the late stages of Core Formation and is quite worrisome..."

"Just a Core Formation Late Stage cultivator isn’t enough to make us seriously discuss..."

Mu Wanlu said, "According to the latest family intelligence, both the Righteous and Demonic forces intend to... open up the Wilderness!"

"Open up the Wilderness?"

Fang Xing blinked, and his thoughts went back to his time in the Wilderness, revealing a look of reminiscence: "How many years have we had a truce, and now they plan to engage in open territory warfare again?"

"Normally, we should be recuperating, but all because of that damned ’Feng Shangren’... He alone took possession of four Divine Infant Fruits and also killed quite a few Demon Path Golden Core cultivators, and the Righteous Path lost Hun Yuanzi. The key point is, the Nascent Condensing Pill is now missing its main ingredients for a batch."

Mu Wanlu mentioned Fang Xing without a good expression.

"Aren’t there still two Divine Infant Fruits left?"

Fang Xing blinked his eyes.

"One of the Divine Infant Fruits was obtained by the Demon Path’s Free Wanderer, who is now nowhere to be found, probably seeking a secret location to form his Nascent Soul... And that Body Cultivator has vanished without a trace as well."

Mu Wandao replied: "The experts of the Righteous and Demonic paths have almost turned the Cultivation World upside down in search of them... Additionally, ’Feng Shangren’ is, according to the pursuit of many experts, definitely an Outer Domain cultivator who has long since left Da Jing..."

"Damn!"

Fang Xing’s face showed a hint of hatred: "That impostor, who dares to partially reveal himself under the guise of ’Feng Shangren,’ I shall not rest until I’ve dealt with him!"

"Alas, where do we have the power to seek revenge on a Nascent Soul True Monarch now?" Mu Wanlu said with a wry smile: "Even if those Meng sisters and Lady Diedie are still alive and well..."

"Why?" Fang Xing’s face showed viciousness.

"Alas, is it not because biting the bait may hurt the mouse? A few Initial Stage of Core Formation female cultivators are not that... but if it provokes a Nascent Soul’s retaliation, ultimately it wouldn’t end well."

Mu Wanqing said, "Moreover... it is said that a Demon Path Nascent Soul made a move on those women, using the ’Heart Inquiry Skill’... The result confirmed that the real ’Feng Shangren’ had long since died, and they don’t even know the true face of that Nascent Soul... Those women were played for nothing; it was truly unjust..."

Fang Xing huffed coldly, but his heart stirred.

’Sure enough... my barefoot Nascent Soul True Monarch still holds quite a deterrent force.’

’Even the Demon Path Nascent Soul didn’t dare to use the Soul Searching Technique, which would greatly harm one’s Divine Soul, but instead used the ’Heart Inquiry Skill’... This clearly indicates their attitude.’

’The more this is the case, the less I can show my face... A missile is most intimidating before it is launched.’

"Alright, back to the main topic... This time, both Righteous and Demonic forces are jointly opening up the Wilderness, with each side choosing a major direction. Our Mu Family will of course follow the Righteous Path, which should be assigned to the jurisdiction of Qiankun Dao... For this opening of the Wilderness, my Mu Family must deploy at least three Core Formation True Persons, this is the Upper Sect’s will..."

Mu Wanlu spoke.

"After the great battle between Righteous and Demonic forces, they choose not to recuperate in haste but to open up the Wilderness, and both sides have agreed... Could it be..."

Fang Xing stroked his beard, his eyes lighting up.

"What have you thought of, Brother Wanlong?"

Mu Wandao’s eyes sparkled with interest.

"There’s a rumor that after many revisions, one version of the Nascent Condensing Pill Recipe can use the Essence Soul Pill of a Fourth Rank shape-shifting Demon King to substitute for the ’Divine Infant Fruit’... But such a Nascent Condensing Pill would be slightly less effective and also have a reduced rate of success in pill formation."
