The scent of the flowing river, made Mu Chen Xiao's memories seem to return to how they were. He was currently in a mountain range quite far away from Xuanzhou City which was about to have a clash with the fiery Yin Lang Sect.
He remembered that before, a black man who was very similar to Shang Ren came to visit him and almost killed Zhao Bingyan if only then he was not wary of what was around him.
After three hours he fell asleep, Mu Chen Xiao finally woke up again and saw that he was currently lying on a very simple mattress and was inside a very small bamboo house.
"Where is this?!"
Mu Chen Xiao instantly panicked and sat down as soon as he looked around which seemed very foreign to him. He also looked to the right and to the left, but he found no clues or clues that would explain where this place was.
Mu Chen Xiao turned his head slightly back and looked at Zhao Bingyan who was now being bound by a chain that bound both of his hands.
Seeing that it had happened to Zhao Bingyan, Mu Chen Xiao immediately ran up to her and tried to untie her chain and called out to her repeatedly until she slightly woke up.
"Great teacher Zhao! Wake up! Teacher is okay?!" Mu Chen Xiao asked with a hint of fear when he saw her hanging with the two chains binding her hands together.
When Zhao Bingyan was half conscious, she immediately tried to stand up however, she realized that her hands were currently in chains.
He could only duck and could not do anything in the presence of Mu Chen Xiao who had done so much to save him.
"Sorry, Xiao'er! I can't do anything now." Zhao Bingyan said in a regretful tone.
"Quietly relax Master Zhao! I'll let go of the chain soon." Mu Chen Xiao said back while trying to untie his chain using a dagger hidden under his clothes.
"No need to do it for me, Xiao'er. Just let me be like this." Zhao Bingyan said softly as she lowered her head so that Mu Chen Xiao could not see her expression.
"What's wrong? Why is a teacher like this? I've done Shen Qi's ritual it shouldn't make any foreign energy enter Master's body."
"Oh. So, you've sacrificed your own life to keep your esteemed master teacher?" Ask a man who is now behind them.
Hearing this voice, Mu Chen Xiao immediately looked back and he saw someone dressed in black, sitting on his bed and that person was Shang Ren who was looking at him coldly.
Seeing that, Mu Chen Xiao instantly let go of Zhao Bingyan and stood back facing Shang Ren at the same position as before.
"Grand teacher Shang Ren! Why did you bring us here?" Mu Chen Xiao asked with a serious look and made Shang Ren speechless for a moment.
"Huh,... You may not know why. The group that came from the Yin Lang Sect, will attack Xuanzhou city because your master teacher has been accused of a massacre against the Jin family." It was obviously Shang Ren as he moved from his place and turned his back to Mu Chen Xiao who was talking to him.
Shang Ren looked back and asked, "Yes, maybe he didn't do anything to the people out there. But, you don't remember what he's done to you?"
Mu Chen Xiao gasped in shock and remembered when Zhao Bingyan almost killed him when he was out of control. However, still he saw that he had been trying to control himself because of that, it was not impossible that all this was just an accident that had been done by him.
"I know that but, you can't just blame him. Master Zhao only injured me and I have absolutely no objection to that. But, he did not injure the people in Jin's residence at all."
After he ended his sentence, suddenly a curse in his body again lit up and burned some of his organs. Mu Chen Xiao who sensed it, immediately sat down and could only remain silent as he felt how this curse continued to gnaw at his body.
”The people of Jin residence are indeed impatient!” mu Chen Xiao's inner self as he continued to press against his burning chest.
"The curse that is in your body really cannot be transferred to another body. Why did you make a deal with the spirit of Jin's residence if you already knew it would end up like this?" Shang Ren asked who was paying attention.
"Because I saw it. The people of the Jin residence did not turn on Master Zhao. They said that the one who killed them was a red Phoenix." Mu Chen Xiao replied as he tried to resist the curse that kept burning him.
Shang Ren fell silent and looked at him for a while. He immediately turned to the entrance and said, "Ye Xing! Do you understand what your next job is?"
Right after he ended his sentence, someone who had been standing behind the door since, finally opening it and showing his true face before the three of them as if he said that I was the one who had slaughtered the Jin family.
”That woman, isn't she the one who attacked Jinya's residence a few years ago along with a man I don't know yet? Was it Shang Ren who had attacked us back then?” inner Mu Chen Xiao noticed.
After Ye Xing entered his room, he did not speak for a while and took out his sword which had been hiding behind his long robe.
Seeing that Ye Xing had already taken out his sword, it made Mu Chen Xiao become extremely vigilant and immediately stand guard in front of Zhao Bingyan who was still hanging behind him.
Back then, Ye Xing was staring at Mu Chen Xiao coldly and whose lips did not also explain how he was currently.
"I slaughtered the entire Jin family and burned down their residence. I believe strongly in the expression that if someone has lost the lives of many people then, he must also die at that time. Because life, it must be paid for with life."
After Ye Xing finished speaking, he raised his sword and pierced his heart repeatedly until he made a puddle made of his own blood.
Mu Chen Xiao who saw Ye Xing smash his own heart felt extremely shocked and could do nothing but look at the pool of blood that was progressively clumping under his feet.
”She, really told her own men to commit suicide?!”
