When the Murong family was at their wits' end, a man who called himself the Black Protector suddenly approached the then patriarch of the Murong family.
They promised to help the Murong family suppress the forces under their control, so that they could continue to maintain their position as one of the four great families. In exchange, the Murong family would become their eyes and ears and be loyal to them wholeheartedly.
The Murong family actually didn't know who the Black Protector was. They only knew that he had a very high level of cultivation and had reached the Nascent Soul stage more than 20 years ago. He was accompanied by a fourth-grade physician and Mr. Liao, who was good at refining puppets.
With the help of the Black Protector, the Murong family quickly regained their foothold in Jinling City. And secretly, they also began to help the Black Protector do all kinds of shameful things.
For example, although Murong Feng only got the recipe of Hanshi Pill in the past two years, Hanshi Flower has been carefully cultivated by their Murong family.
Every day, the Murong family would recruit servants and apprentices under the guise of selecting children with spiritual roots from street children or remote mountainous areas and use them as the culture medium for the Hanshi flower.
He Xi frowned and said, "You have captured so many children. Haven't any of their parents ever noticed something was wrong and made trouble with you?"
Murong Feng lowered his head and said softly, "Of course it's not impossible. If any parents or relatives find out, we usually kill the child's entire family, or the entire village... and then put the blame on independent cultivators or bandits."
"Are you still human?! Do you have any humanity at all?!"
Before He Xi could say anything, Gu Liufeng could no longer bear it and kicked Murong Feng fiercely, "Are you the only human beings in this world, and the other children and people are all animals? Even if they are animals, they still have their lives. How can you trample and kill them so wantonly? Murong Feng, aren't you afraid of retribution? Aren't you afraid that you will not be reincarnated after death and will be reborn as animals forever?!"
Murong Feng was afraid of He Xi, but he was full of hatred for Gu Liufeng. Hearing this, he immediately said confidently: "We did all this to revitalize the Murong family. Those lowly mortals, even if they died by the hundreds or thousands, are just like ants. What is there to feel guilty about or pity? It is you, a wicked beast, who obviously has the blood of the Murong family, but you colluded with outsiders to frame the Murong family. You deserve to die! You, a beast, will get retribution!"
The long sword in Gu Liufeng's hand suddenly appeared and he walked towards Murong Feng step by step.
Murong Feng looked at him and his eyes became even redder than before, as if blood was about to drip out. With every step he took, the murderous aura on his body became three times stronger.
This made him feel a deep fear in his heart, and his body kept squirming back, "I... I am your father, if you kill me... you will be punished by God... you will never get over the inner demon... you will also fall..."
He Xi took a step forward, grabbed Gu Liufeng, and said calmly: "There's no need to bear the inner demons for such a person, let me do it?"
"No!" Gu Liufeng turned his head and looked at her, his eyes burning. There was pain and hatred accumulated for more than 20 years in his eyes, but more of it was persistence and determination. "Xi Yue, you have done enough for me. But this person, I want to end his life with my own hands."
The corners of his mouth slowly curled up into a mocking smile, "You know how much I hate the name Murong Liufeng, and how much I hate the beast Murong Feng, but unfortunately, his blood flows in my body, and this is the original sin that I cannot avoid." (To be continued)
