33: Father and son meet

The person who spoke was none other than Liu Yun; he naturally knew that the Middle-aged man in white was Murong Xuan, but as Murong Feng’s master, he wanted to give the other party a warning!

Upon hearing this, Murong Xuan and the others saw an old man with an otherworldly aura arrive at the mountain gate. His presence was restrained, yet it gave them a strong sense of threat.

Murong Xuan’s eyes narrowed slightly. He couldn't discern the other party's cultivation, and there was likely only one explanation: the other party was a Spirit King Realm expert!

However, as far as he knew, the Chang Sheng Sect only had its sect master, Nangong Xiaotian, at the Spirit King Realm cultivation. He immediately assumed the other party was Nangong Xiaotian.

Not daring to be disrespectful, he quickly bowed and said, “Junior greets the Chang Sheng Sect Master.”

In terms of strength and seniority, it was entirely appropriate for him to refer to himself as a junior.

This time, it was Liu Yun who was stunned. He then realized that the other party had probably mistaken him for his senior brother.

After all, the Chang Sheng Sect indeed only had one Spirit King Realm cultivator before, but times had changed.

Looking at the other party’s demeanor, it didn’t seem like he was looking for trouble, though the few old men behind him didn’t look like good people. Since one doesn't hit a smiling face, he chuckled and said, “You’ve misunderstood. I am Liu Yun, the Qingyun Peak Master of the Chang Sheng Sect, not my senior brother Nangong Xiaotian!”

As soon as these words were spoken, both Murong Xuan and the elders were greatly alarmed.

What?

Especially Murong Xuan. While the elders might not have known the other party's cultivation, he was well aware that the other party was most likely a Spirit King Realm expert.

He hadn't expected that it wasn't the rumored Nangong Xiaotian, but just a Peak Master. In that case, the Chang Sheng Sect was far more terrifying than the outside world understood.

Who knew if the Chang Sheng Sect had any other Spirit King Realm experts!

The Murong Family's First Elder and the others' eyes flickered. Although they weren't clear about the exact cultivation of the person before them, the feeling they got was that he was probably no less powerful than Murong Xuan.

Their purpose for this trip was to take Murong Feng away. It seemed that their plan might have to change.

The stronger the opponent, the harder it was to exert pressure.

Liu Yun saw their varied expressions and guessed that they weren't united. He stroked his beard and asked, “May I ask, Murong Family Head, what brings you to our sect today?”

“I am Murong Feng’s master, and I can make decisions regarding this matter!”

Hearing that this powerful individual before him was Murong Feng's master, Murong Xuan felt a slight joy in his heart. Being able to become this person's disciple, he finally felt relieved of the worry that had been hanging over him.

He respectfully said, “To answer senior, Feng’er left the family without permission, and I was a bit worried, so I came to visit him.”

His words directly cut off the thoughts of the elders behind him.

Liu Yun nodded, “You are Murong Feng’s father, so it is only right. Come with me into the sect!”

With that, he walked towards the sect's interior, ignoring the others.

Murong Xuan quickly followed.

The Second Elder's expression was gloomy. He looked at the First Elder with a questioning gaze.

The First Elder's face also wasn't good. Murong Xuan's words just now completely denied them a chance to speak. They could only act according to the situation.

“Let’s go!”

He said in a deep voice.

The others also walked inside, following behind Murong Xuan.

In a courtyard on Qingyun Peak, a young man also dressed in white was sitting cross-legged, cultivating. After half a year of cultivation since joining the Chang Sheng Sect, his cultivation had already broken through to the second level of the Qi Sea Realm, which was incredibly fast.

After finishing his cultivation, he stood up and slowly exhaled a breath of turbid air, then heard movement from a distance.

He focused his gaze, and then his expression became unnatural. He saw his master entering with a Middle-aged man in white.

Behind them were several old men, whom he recognized as the elders from his clan who always targeted him.

Seeing Murong Feng, Liu Yun smiled contentedly, “Xiao Feng, are you done cultivating?”

Then he turned and made way for Murong Xuan.

He continued, “Your father has traveled a thousand li to see you. Talk things over properly, and don't worry, your master is here for you!”

Upon hearing this, Murong Feng responded somewhat nervously, “Yes, Master!”

Father and son met each other's gaze. Seeing Murong Feng a bit at a loss, Murong Xuan spoke first, “Feng’er, why didn't you tell your father when you snuck out of the family this time?”

He paused, then added, “But I am very happy that you were able to become Senior Liu Yun’s disciple. You must not fail to live up to Senior’s expectations of you.”

Murong Feng stared blankly. Was this still the strict father he remembered? He took a deep breath and said, “Father, it was my fault. I shouldn't have snuck out of the family, and I shouldn't have failed to tell you beforehand!”

“Do you know what crime it is to privately violate the family's injunction and leave?”

Just then, a discordant voice broke the scene.

Liu Yun was somewhat displeased, and Murong Xuan also frowned.

The Second Elder stared sternly at Murong Feng!

“What crime have I committed? I don’t believe I’ve offended you, Second Elder. Why must you persistently cling to me?”

Murong Feng said with some agitation.

His only attachment to this family was his father. Even if his father wasn't very fond of him, he was still his only living relative besides his mother, whom he had never met.

Upon hearing this, a hint of displeasure flashed in the Second Elder's eyes. This little bastard dared to speak to him like that.

He immediately reprimanded him even more impolitely, “You were originally just an illegitimate child. The clan elders were benevolent enough to give you a proper status. It’s bad enough that you’re not grateful, but you repeatedly go against us. What are your intentions?”

Murong Feng seemed to be provoked by his words and said with hatred, “From childhood, you all have constantly targeted me. When have I ever refused? But you have escalated your actions, and now you won't even allow me to resist?”

He had been disgusted by these sanctimonious old men since he was a child, and had endured countless bullying. If it weren't for his father's sake, he would have run away from home long ago.

What was even more annoying was that these old men always thought he coveted the so-called Young Master's position, constantly helping his half-brother bully him.

After coming to the Chang Sheng Sect, he finally felt a sense of care and affection he had never experienced before. His master was very good to him, and he secretly vowed to cultivate diligently and not disappoint his master's expectations.

The atmosphere in the courtyard immediately became tense, especially as the Second Elder was about to angrily make a move.

Seeing this, a sharp glint flashed in Liu Yun's eyes. Just as he was about to act, Murong Xuan's Divine Origin Realm ninth-level cultivation surged, and his aura pressed down on the Second Elder.

The Second Elder felt as if he was facing a terrifying beast, his face flushed, his blood and qi in disarray, unable to speak.

Murong Xuan shouted, “Enough! Do you really think I don't exist? If it weren't for the fact that we share the Murong bloodline, I would have killed you long ago!”

A murderous aura enveloped the Second Elder, making him shiver involuntarily.

Among the elders, the Second Elder was the most prejudiced, and he was the one who targeted Feng’er the most!

The First Elder saw that Murong Xuan was truly enraged and quickly pulled the Second Elder back, saying, “Second Brother, that’s enough!”

He had already sensed the Qingyun Peak Master's killing intent.

If this continued, things might not end well, and whether they could even leave the Chang Sheng Sect was debatable.

The Second Elder grunted in dissatisfaction, then glared resentfully at Murong Feng, and even came to hate Murong Xuan.

“Damn it, you old geezer, I’ve tolerated you for too long!”

A rough voice came from outside the courtyard!
