169: Oriental Joy

A clearing at the core of the Xiao Family.

A powerful surge of energy shot towards Mu Wuchen. Mu Wuchen smiled faintly, gently raised a hand, and easily dissolved the sharp sonic attack, absorbing it into his palm.

Across from him, a woman in a green dress lightly raised her delicate hands, her jade-like fingertips gently plucking the strings of an ancient zither.

As her fingertips tapped, waves of peculiar sonic attacks once again seemed to transcend space, enveloping Mu Wuchen. However, before the sound waves could reach Mu Wuchen, the attack was once again neutralized.

Mu Wuchen flicked his finger, and a gentle force appeared. The sonic attack he had just casually dissolved reappeared, reversed direction, and bounced back towards the woman in the green dress, and the reflected attack was noticeably two points stronger than before…

The woman's eyes flickered, and the speed at which she plucked the zither strings increased again. More waves of sound appeared, diligently resisting the incoming reflected attacks…

Mu Wuchen's control of his power was excellent; the woman in the green dress felt the pressure but was not harmed.

Several minutes later, the woman in the green dress put away her ancient zither, her breathing slightly rapid, and faint beads of fragrant sweat trickled down her forehead.

The woman in the green dress was naturally Yun Li. At this moment, she had already reached the Mystic Infant peak and could attempt a breakthrough.

Recently, whenever Mu Wuchen had time, he would spar with Yun Li, Xiao Ziyan, Luo Shuangfei, and Nalan Yuruo. Under his guidance, they had all progressed very quickly.

Beside them, Luo Shuangfei gritted her teeth, watching Mu Wuchen so gently train Yun Li.

Every time Mu Wuchen trained Yun Li, he was incredibly gentle, as if afraid of hurting her.

But when it was her turn, he would turn into that black monster, grabbing her fiercely here, slapping her heavily there. Every time, she had to cry her heart out and beg for mercy repeatedly before he would stop!

Why!

She was his Master!

Just then, Mu Wuchen's expression shifted, and a piece of information suddenly appeared.

It was news from Lin Ziyan.

Mu Wuchen's cultivation of Lin Ziyan was actually just a matter of convenience; primarily, his ability could indeed help him find Sons of Destiny. As for the outcome, Mu Wuchen had never given it much thought.

After all, the number of Sons of Destiny was extremely rare; they couldn't just be found at will. It was very possible that there weren't even a few in an entire domain.

And Lin Ziyan being able to discover Jiang Huaian was already an unexpected pleasant surprise. He hadn't expected to have another harvest now.

Looking at the few words in the message, Mu Wuchen was slightly stunned.

“Take down Oriental Huaiyu…”

The Eastern Family, huh? A declining top-tier great clan…

Mu Wuchen thought to himself.

A month later, Mu Wuchen arrived with the little fox at the city controlled by the Eastern Family.

Although the Eastern Family had declined, it still owned hundreds of cities' worth of property. While it couldn't compare to the Xiao Family, the Beichen Family, and others, in the local area, it was still considered a local tyrant.

It was said that the decline of the Eastern Family was mainly due to a lack of successors among its top talents…

To maintain a family's long-term prosperity, top-tier combat power was extremely important. As long as the top-tier combat power was strong enough, even if they were like the hidden Medicinal Family who stayed out of worldly affairs, no one would dare to underestimate them.

But if their strength was insufficient, they would be like fat sheep waiting to be slaughtered, and their resources would quickly be divided up by other covetous forces.

And the Eastern Family was precisely in this situation. After several generations of decline, the strongest person in the Eastern Family now, the clan leader Oriental Xi, only had a cultivation of early Heavenly King…

At this moment, this great clan leader was in a large room, holding a dazzling golden treasure chest and laughing heartily.

“Hahahahaha, my Eastern Family is indeed thriving! Today, the lord of another small city announced his allegiance to me and even sent me so many good treasures!”

Oriental Xi had small eyes, a walrus mustache, and a slightly plump figure, making him look like he wasn't a good person…

His talent was not high, and he even inherited the position of Eastern Family clan leader by chance. The original position of Eastern Family clan leader should have belonged to his elder brother, but during an experience, his elder brother met with an accident and perished…

Thus, he became the Eastern Family clan leader, and even his cultivation was forcibly elevated by the previous clan leader through Initiation (initiation)…

As for restoring the glory of the Eastern Family, what did that have to do with him?

With a “bang,” the door to Oriental Xi's room was forcefully opened, and a sudden chill permeated the air.

Oriental Xi was stunned, then shouted loudly.

“Who!”

As soon as his voice fell, two figures, one male and one female, appeared before him.

Seeing the two, Oriental Xi frowned.

He had never seen either of them before.

And he couldn't discern their cultivation.

“Who dares to trespass into my Eastern Family? Do you not wish to live?”

Oriental Xi said in a deep voice.

Regardless of the other party's strength, he was the dignified clan leader of the Eastern Family; even if the substance was lacking, the facade still had to be maintained!

However, as soon as he spoke, a large slap came directly at him!

With a “slap,” Oriental Xi flew out directly, spitting blood, covering his face with an expression of utter disbelief.

He was a Heavenly King expert!

Mu Wuchen had long seen through it; his early Heavenly King cultivation was merely for show, possessing only the realm but lacking far behind in comprehension and foundation, clearly forcibly elevated.

With such cultivation, he might not even be a match for a slightly more powerful Celestial Human Ninth Level, so he struck decisively!

Feeling the unfriendly gazes of the two, Oriental Xi's heart skipped a beat, and he immediately…

Cowered.

Oriental Xi knelt on the ground, desperately begging for mercy, still shouting.

“Two Heavenly King sirs, I, Oriental Xi, am just an unlearned good-for-nothing. There's no need to stoop to my level…”

As he spoke, he rubbed his hands together, a fawning smile on his face.

“By measuring the resources of my Eastern Family, we can bring joy to the two sirs!”

“Whatever the two sirs fancy in my mansion, just take it. Just leave my lowly life.”

As he spoke, he even chuckled at Mu Wuchen and the other, as if he didn't feel anything amiss.

However, the little fox noticed the error in his words.

What two Heavenly Kings?

She was a Demon Venerable, and Mu Wuchen was not a Heavenly King either. This guy managed to perfectly avoid the correct answer.

She swayed her waist lightly, and a massive aura instantly pressed down on Oriental Xi!

“Old man, open your dog eyes and see who is a Heavenly King!”

Feeling the immense pressure, Oriental Xi trembled both physically and mentally, completely terrified. He desperately kowtowed to Su Meier, begging for mercy, continuously muttering.

“Two Emperor sirs, it's this junior who was blind, this junior was blind!”

However, upon hearing his words, the little fox's expression turned cold again.

Then another burst of energy fanned out, and Oriental Xi flew out again, his cheeks swollen high!

“Blind fool, didn't you see my master over there?”

Oriental Xi, who had been slapped away, quickly scrambled up, scurried over to Mu Wuchen, and began kowtowing frantically, as if his life depended on it…
