Two days later.
The Shan Bu Valley, which had been burned to the ground by a Red Phoenix, left only flying ash. There was a group of ten thousand men, gathering the corpses there. They buried it properly in one place.
While in a room that was black after being charred by fire, a young man in armor seemed to be staring at a book and sitting on a throne that still looked radiant.
"So, this is the reason why Mu Chou Ran told me to leave that night. But why did he just save me? Does this also include the Mu family's grudge on the Yin Lang sect?" He said while looking around that looked dusty and fragile.
After he was dissolved in his mind, a soldier came to him and delivered a message that he should listen to.
"Prince Yan! We have buried the entire corpses of the Yin Lang Sect. Now, what should we do and what are your next plans?"
Yan Fengying stared at the troop and stood back up from the top of his throne. "... Of course to reclaim the throne of the kingdom that has been taken from me. However, after seeing the chaos that occurred here. It turned out that Zhang's kingdom had someone who was far stronger than anyone even me. Maybe I won't take any chances because Mu Chen Xiao will definitely not stay silent if I go to war with the Zhang family let alone have a crown prince become his fellow disciple named Zhang Xiuzhen." Clearly Yan Fengying while thinking about it.
"Then, what's your next goal?" Ask the soldier back.
"Go from this place. I'm sure there's still plenty of empty territory out there." Yan Fengying replied coupled with her steps leading out.
Meanwhile, the situation in your residence when everything has returned to how it was. After they buried the dead in their place, they all gathered at one point and welcomed their young Master who had been missing for two months.
"Young master! We're so worried about you! Where have you been for two months?!" Asked a little girl in an emotional tone while hugging Mu Chen Xiao's thigh as he was standing in front of Mu Chou Ran's throne.
Followed by a boy who said, "Young master! We are so worried that the great Lord will lose his descendants again that our family has no successor!" Speak with eyes that look glazed because touched.
Mu Chen Xiao was expressionless as he stared at the two. "... Stop doing that! I'm back anyway! Why are you pouring out your hearts to me?" Said Mu Chen Xiao with a slight snapping while pushing away these two boys as it continued to hug his thigh.
Mu Chou Ran who was looking at the three of them, could only sigh tiredly while stirring his cup. "... I thought you were coming back. As long as you were gone, Xing Ruo had no one to worry about. So, he always thought I was looking for a way to find you." He said as he gazed towards Xing Ruo who was standing behind Mu Chen Xiao.
Hearing that, Xing Ruo instantly fell silent as he stared downwards along with Mu Chen Xiao who instantly turned his head towards him. And not long after, he looked back at Mu Chou Ran with an astonished expression after a few things happened to him.
"I'm sure you know something! Aye?!" Snapped Mu Chen Xiao while pointing towards Mu Chou Ran. "... You must have known what happened to me but, you didn't tell the others at all!"
Heard that assumption. Mu Chou Ran slightly laughed and put his cup back after he drank it a mouthful.
"What's it like to experience death? Who did you meet at the time?" He asked with a mocking smile that made Mu Chen Xiao feel astonished when he heard that.
After that, Mu Chen Xiao became expressionless and he immediately turned around and left the room.
"Where are you going?" Mu Chou Ran asked as he watched her leave.
Mu Chen Xiao looked back and replied, "... Why why anyway? I just want to go outside! I'm not going out of town anyway." He said while walking away from her.
Then, when he almost got to the front door. Suddenly Mu You Na was blocking him. He stood before her with a cold and angry look at her.
"The great lord forbids you to leave." Mu You Na's words thus made Mu Chen Xiao speechless and immediately turned his head towards Mu Chou Ran.
"Why can't I go?!" Asked Mu Chen Xiao back.
”... Nanming Conference? Is it a conference between several families to show who is the strongest family in the year? If remembered again, next year is the day of my death after this conference is done?!” thought Mu Chen Xiao who ended up expressionless as he remembered it.
"Are you going to attend the conference?" Asked Mu Chou Ran.
"What can I do when you all fight there? It's clear that I'm going to be in that meeting." Chirping Mu Chen Xiao.
Meanwhile, things were in some Sects when they heard that the Yin Lang sect had been destroyed. They were all extremely astonished when they heard the news from the Palace regarding the disappearance of the Yin Lang sect from their college list.
This is really unbelievable! Everyone had thought that Mu Chen Xiao had died. However, their estimates were completely broken with the destruction of the Yin Lang Sect and this destruction was caused by Mu Chen Xiao who managed to obtain his new strength.
However, it seems that the Palace did not take this matter seriously. They would even still conduct the Nanming conference in the next year moreover, the demons from the Mu family had returned. It seemed, the families involved would only be a few.
As soon as this thing spreads. A bottle of black ink fell onto the floor and littered a marble floor that had just been cleaned. This young man was obviously very shocked upon hearing the news of this destruction let alone all of this caused by his recently reborn student becoming a criminal.
"Is Xiao'er really back?!" Zhao Bingyan's expression became extremely shocked after a disciple read out the contents of the letter from the palace. A few moments later, he got out of his seat and immediately went out of his room.
However, as he was running out. Suddenly Zhao Wei Lu blocked his path and pushed him back into his room.
"What are you thinking?! Are you planning to go out?!" Zhao Wei Lu asked who seemed to be very angry at him because he was about to leave his duty again.
"Didn't you hear it? Xiao'er is back! What do you think makes me have to go there?" Ask Zhao Bingyan.
"You think he'll accept your apology? Two months ago, you killed him and sent him to a place no one could visit. Do you think he'll be able to forgive you and come back to you?" Zhao Wei Lu said firmly and coldly.
Zhao Bingyan was stunned and she was silent for a while.
"But, Mu Chen Xiao couldn't possibly be like that. He must understand why I hurt him."
Hearing the reason, Zhao Wei Lu became very angry and he immediately grabbed onto Zhao Bingyan's shoulders and looked at her seriously.
"Until when will you think straight like that?! Stop being a too good person! What do you think Mu Chen Xiao looks like now that he learned dark magic?! You don't even think that on his side there is still Mu Chou Ran who has killed your mother and also my mother back then?!" His words were so resolute that it made Zhao Bingyan fall silent again.
After he scolded her and made her silence her own mouth. Zhao Wei Lu finally let go of his handrails and looked at him even more calmly.
"Yan Gege! Stop thinking that Mu Chen Xiao is a good person. If you go there, you'll only kill yourself. What do you think he's like now after he destroyed the strongest Sect like the Yin Lang Sect?"
"......"
At the same time, in the Jinya Mountains. Hao Shu who had returned from his trip, had only confined himself in his room since two days ago. He kept looking at his window and did nothing but look at the scene clearly in front of his face. He doesn't want to eat or even touch it. Hao Shu was greatly disappointed after Mu Chen Xiao, the only disciple he had had had turned black and even dared to study dark magic.
"I broke my vow. As a hated spirit, I have nurtured a disciple who will mess with everything in this world instead of getting better. Instead, I will give you my own blood. Sorry for disappointing the ancestors."
After he finished his sentence, Hao Shu stuck a sword into his own heart. He did so repeatedly before finally, he died full of disappointment and regret experienced by him.
