Chapter 332 Trouble Within Four Families
Vermilion Imperial Sect
“What happened, Sect Master Ding? Why is your face so ugly?” One of the elders asked as he looked at Ding Yuan in confusion
At first, they were casually discussing something, but his expression suddenly became so ugly, especially after he saw the shattered jade in his hand.
Meng Yao, who was beside him, was shocked to see the shattered jade. “Is that Ding Hu’s life jade, Sect Master?”
“Yes.” Ding Yuan nodded glumly, as he tightly gripped the crushed jade. “Do any of you know where Hu’er went?”
“He went along with four other disciples on a mission, Sect Master.” A female elder answered his question. “If I remember correctly, their mission was to find some herbs in the deepest part of Star-Moon Forest.”
“Star Moon Forest?” Ding Yuan frowned, and he then got up from his seat.
However, just as he was about to walk out, a middle-aged man ran into the room along with a middle-aged woman. They spoke to him at the same time, and they showed him the two shattered jades. “What exactly happened, Ding Yuan? How did my son die?”
Ding Yuan, Meng Yao, and all the elders in the room gasped, they were shocked to learn that three of the five people had died.
Ding Yuan then took a deep breath, and he then answered them. “I don’t have any information about this matter yet, Gao Lan, Duan Yong. Because my son also went along with your sons, and he is also dead now.”
“What!?” Gao Lan and Duan Yong shouted in unison, and their eyes widened in shock.
Gao Lan then asked with a furious expression. “Where did they go? Did they go on a mission together?”
“They went on a mission together to Star-Moon Forest, and they went with Ling Yao and Hua Xiuling, but we don’t know the fate of the two women yet.” The elder explained it to her.
They then looked towards the entrance, because a man staggered into the room, even his face was filled with tears, and his hands were shaking while holding the shattered jade.
They frowned at the man, and Gao Lan then asked him. “What happened to you, Ling Xin? Why are you being like this?”
“My daughter… My Yao’er is dead.” Ling Xin replied as he sobbed.
All of them shrieked in shock. “How did this happen? How did four of the five die?”
Ding Yuan then turned to Meng Yao. “Elder Meng, try asking Hua Shitian about his granddaughter.”
Meng Yao nodded to him, she then took out her communication jade and sent a voice message as Ding Yuan ordered. A few moments later, she already had Hua Shitian’s answer. “He said that Xiuling is fine, Sect Master. Currently, she is resting in Star-Moon City. To be precise, she is at Hundred Fragrance Restaurant, and Hua Shitian is rushing to see her.”
“Hundred Fragrance Restaurant?” Ding Yuan raised his eyebrows, and he tried to remember it.
Gao Lan then said to him. “That’s Yu Suya’s new restaurant.”
“Anyway, we have to go see Hua Xiuling right now, since she’s the only survivor, so we have to interrogate her. If Hua Shitian had taken his granddaughter away, then we’d have a hard time interrogating her.” Duan Yong added, and the look on his face showed that he was impatient. 𝘦.𝘰𝘳𝑔
They nodded in agreement, Ding Yuan and five others immediately left the room, and they flew in a hurry toward Star-Moon City, because the city was quite far from their location.

When Xia Tian arrived at their campsite, he saw Xia Wu and the two men were gloomy. He then casually asked. “Why are you three like this? Do you three regret their deaths?”
“You two are idiots, huh? If I hadn’t interfered earlier, then you guys would be dead by now.” The two men could only lower their heads as Xia Tian scolded them harshly. “I didn’t expect you two to be so pathetic, for you both regret the deaths of those who wanted to kill you.”
After that, Xia Tian turned to Xia Wu. “I know that you are kind-hearted, Little Wu. But in the cultivation world, we only have two choices: kill or be killed. If you are not prepared for that, then you should stop being a cultivator, and you can live as an ordinary woman.”
Xia Wu’s heart sank at that, and she started to sob at his harsh words, as she really couldn’t believe that he would say such a thing to her.
Seeing that, Mo Xiaoqi then moved to sit beside her, and he hugged Xia Wu who was already crying loudly. However, she didn’t say anything to Xia Tian, ??even though his words were harsh, but it was for their good.
Ling Chen silently stared at Xia Tian in amazement, she was truly amazed by his conviction. Because he does not hesitate to help his friends, and he also does not hesitate to kill his enemies. ‘How can he have such a mentality? Moreover, he was so indifferent when he told me to kill Ling Yao.’ “Have you killed people often, Brother Xia?”
Xia Tian was surprised to hear Ling Chen’s voice, as this was the first time he had heard her speak. Moreover, her voice sounded so melodious. He then turned and asked her back. “Killing, huh? Would you believe me if I told you that I’ve killed countless people, Ling Chen?”
“Huh?” The two men looked at Xia Tian in shock, even Xia Wu who was crying was shocked to hear that.
Ling Chen then answered him. “I don’t know whether to believe it or not, but the way you told me to kill Ling Yao, clearly shows that you are used to killing people.”
“I’ll show all of you one thing.” After saying that, Xia Tian released his extremely powerful killing intent.
Even though Xia Tian released it for only a fraction of a millisecond, his killing intent made the four of them break out in cold sweat, and their bodies trembled violently. Only Mo Xiaoqi remained calm, as she had often felt his killing intent.
Xia Tian just looked at them with a smile. “Now you guys know whether I kill people often or not, right?”
Ling Chen and the others nodded at him over and over again, as they wiped their cold sweat, and their bodies were still shaking violently. ‘What a freaking monster!’

[Author’s Thought]
[The mc lived for thousands of years, he should know thousands of techniques but his physical training is squats and push ups. hahahahaha.]
Honestly, I can’t understand the minds of people who think like that quote. I really don’t know if I’m the idiot or you’re the idiot.
Do you think his condition is the same as his condition in a past life? Seriously? You’re comparing a body that’s been forged for tens of thousands of years with a body that hasn’t been trained before due to being crippled.
Moreover, I’ve explained that he has the ‘Ancient Body Secret Technique’, and I’ve also explained why he’s training his new body from the ground up again.
Well, I don’t care about stupid comments like that.
