Who Let Him Cultivate?!
Chapter 1176 - 1175: My Things Were Originally Taken by Your Two Schools

"A severed arm?" Lu Yang's expression gradually became more vivid.

If I remember correctly, Fairy Eternity once mentioned that Yang Kongdong had numerous concubines. In the end, a fire in the harem led to him being dismembered by them.

If Leng Ningxiang was one of the concubines, wouldn't stealing an arm seem not too difficult?

"This ice box is somewhat peculiar. It's not safe in your hands. How about I temporarily keep it for safekeeping?" Lu Yang said gently.

The voice inside Su Yuan's body sneered, already suspecting that this man surnamed Lu was no good—he must have realized it was a treasure and was merely fabricating excuses to claim it.

Su Yuan was really naive. It was obvious the ice box was extraordinary, and he should have hidden it, yet he just brought it out, practically waiting for it to be stolen.

Su Yuan and Fang Zhige didn't think much about it and simply agreed.

"Then goodbye to Teacher Lu, Teacher Xue, and Teacher Meng. See you next year."

The pair bid farewell, and following the students and parents, they left the martial arts hall, which was now only occupied by the three teachers and Elder Murong.

"What a handsome ice box." Although Xue Shilou didn't know what was inside the ice box, that didn't stop him from finding it impressive.

The gorgeous patterns on the ice box seemed to tell an ancient legend, both simple and majestic.

Xue Shilou then took out his own ice box for comparison. His also had intricate patterns, but compared to the one brought by Fang Zhige, it was somewhat lacking.

...

In a secret room, a pair of eyes slowly opened, flashing an unusual light.

"I didn't expect that before I could find the arm, it would appear on its own in Muxue City?"

"Is this what they call fate?"

A tall figure stood up, revealing a thought-provoking smile.

...

After the parent-teacher meeting, Huo Huashen, who had been tense, yawned and relaxed.

Large snowflakes fell on his head, which he brushed away.

He looked up at the gray sky, "It's snowing again."

No, no, can't doze off. Standing outside, he represented the face of the martial arts hall; he needed to maintain his essence, qi, and spirit.

Thinking this, Huo Huashen perked up and stood at attention.

"Little Huo."

Hearing someone calling him, Huo Huashen instantly shivered; the voice sounded a bit familiar.

Then, he saw three people approaching at the street corner.

It was his own Sect Leader, Chi Sect Leader of the Yaoyang Sect, and Grand Elder Liu Zhen.

Why had three esteemed transcendence tribulation figures from two sects all come here?

"Greetings, Sect Leader!" Excited, Huo Huashen was about to kneel but was gently supported by a mana force from Mu Baiyi.

"That's enough, there are too many prying eyes here; no need for such formalities."

"Yes!"

Twenty Nascent Soul Stage juniors also noticed the commotion and hurried over, not just to let Sect Leader Mu recognize them, but getting familiarized was also beneficial.

Having the Sect Leader personally inspect their work, following their elder brother to the Extreme Northern Lands really had its perks.

Mu Baiyi waved his hand to make the Nascent Soul disciples step back.

"It seems you have been doing well here. I heard that it was you who found the lead on the Ruthless Sect."

"Sect Leader flatters me; it was merely a coincidence."

"Even coincidence is part of fortune. Since you have been in Muxue City this whole time, do you perhaps know the whereabouts of the Carefree Guest?"

"The Carefree Guest?"

Huo Huashen was somewhat puzzled and didn't know why the Sect Leader would suddenly bring up the Carefree Guest, although the Carefree Guest was the strongest among those in the Divinity Transformation Stage in the Extreme Northern Lands, it hardly seemed worth the personal inquiry of three people from the Transcendance Tribulation Stage.

He bowed his head and told the truth.

"Sect Leader, a few days ago, the Carefree Guest indeed appeared in the Extreme Northern Lands and even angered Vice City Lord Ma of Muxue City. However, the Carefree Guest truly has skills. Vice City Lord Ma locked down the city for ten days and dug three feet into the ground, but still couldn't find the whereabouts of the Carefree Guest."

"The Carefree Guest had once declared that he would seek revenge on Vice City Lord Ma, but so much time has passed and the Carefree Guest hasn't made a move for revenge. It seems likely that he simply spouted momentary bravado and did not dare to provoke Vice City Lord Ma any further, having already left Muxue City."

"Has he already left?" Mu Baiyi pondered.

This was troublesome. Now, they had this single clue about the Ruthless Sect Leader, and it was cut off.

The two sects had already offended the Ruthless Sect, so they must eradicate it completely, offending them to the death.

They couldn't rest until the Ruthless Sect Leader was dealt with.

The Jiuyou Sect's Grand Elder Liu Zhen snorted coldly, "Humph, all for naught, a wasted trip."

Suddenly, Mu Baiyi shuddered, feeling someone release a murderous intent, and looked sharply in that direction before shouting loudly.

"Who is it!"

Through the falling heavy snow, a slender figure approached, a smile of unclear intent hanging on his lips—uncertain whether it was a sneer or a scoff.

"Unexpected, really unexpected, my things ended up in the hands of you two sects."

A chill glinted in the eyes of the slender figure.

His arm was part of him, and as long as the arm came within his sense range, even with it sealed in the treasure box, he could still vaguely sense its location.

Following his perception all the way here, he sensed that his arm was right inside this Tiger Roar Martial Arts Hall.

And both Sect Leader Mu, Chi Sect Leader, and Grand Elder Liu Zhen were all here.

How could there be such a coincidence in the world!

Surely, these two sects found his arm and used it as bait to lure him in.

Laughable to the extreme, truly ignorant of the heavens and the earth, to actually dare plot against him.

"City Lord?" Huo Huashen was astonished the moment he saw the slender figure.

The visitor was actually the City Lord of Muxue City!

"City Lord? No, he's just taken on the appearance of the City Lord of Muxue City."

Mu Baiyi and the other two Transcendance Tribulation Stage individuals walked slowly towards the slender figure, expressions solemn.

"The City Lord of Muxue City is said to be a powerhouse of the Extreme Northern Lands, but he's only at Integration Peak, and it's impossible for him to approach us undetected, am I right, Sect Leader Yang?"

"Sect Leader Yang? The Ruthless Sect's Sect Leader Yang?" Huo Huashen was shocked, so the City Lord of Muxue City was the Ruthless Sect's Sect Leader Yang?!

"Mu Baiyi, interesting. Among the three sect leaders, I admire Eternity Sect the most, followed by your Jiuyou Sect. After Qin Haoran died, Jiuyou Sect didn't fall apart under your management but thrived instead."

Sect Leader Yang chuckled lightly, his tone casual as if conversing with a long-lost friend.

Then his voice cooled, the air filling with murderous intent.

"But that's no reason for you to scheme against me."

"Really thought that because Great Xia put all four sects side by side, you have the status to stand equal with me."

"Arrogant!" Liu Zhen couldn't hold himself back, taking the initiative to attack first. Of the three Transcendance Tribulation Stage members from both sects, only he was a veteran at Middle Tribulation Stage.

"Great Sun Crossing the Sky!"

A burning sun ignited atop Liu Zhen's head, the temperature sudden spiked, instantly melting the heavy falling snow.

"Wait, don't attack, take it to the sky. Lu Yang and Meng Jingzhou are still inside!" Mu Baiyi didn't expect Liu Zhen to be so impatient to fight.

Both Lu Yang and Meng Jingzhou were inside the martial arts hall, and if either of them were harmed, they would have to face the relentless pursuit of the Seek Dao Sect and the Meng Family!

However, it was too late for Mu Baiyi's words as the Great Sun was already taking shape.

"Plucking Plum Immortal Palm."

Sect Leader Yang's figure blurred, appearing in front of Liu Zhen in an instant and striking his abdomen with a palm, dispersing the Great Sun.
