Nie Tan returned home. Seeing his empty hands, Nie Feng knew things definitely hadn’t gone well. He snorted lightly, sitting on a chair not far away and crossing his legs. “Well, that brat refused to lend it, didn’t he?”
Before Nie Tan could speak, Nie Feng started cursing. “I’ve said it before, that brat is an ungrateful wretch. Why bother going to him? In my opinion, we should just deal with him directly!”
“Do you have a good plan?”
Unexpectedly, his father, who usually stopped him, this time calmly uttered these few words.
“Father, you agree?”
Nie Feng was very surprised upon hearing his words and quickly walked to his side.
“Why wouldn’t I agree? Since that brat doesn’t regard me as his uncle, why should I be kind to him?”
Nie Tan snorted coldly, his withered palm like an iron claw slapping the table beside him. “This kid has been a tenant farmer on Luoxia Mountain for so long he’s really treating this place as a paradise. I need to teach him a lesson, let him know this is the treacherous world of Cultivation, not some countryside farm!”
“Dad, how do you plan to do it?” Nie Feng quickly moved closer and poured him tea.
“To deal with him, no strategies are needed. Wait a couple of days until Li Shuo and the others enter the mountains, then Dad will visit him again. If he’s sensible, we’ll spare his life. If he’s not sensible, we’ll use him as fertilizer for the fields!”
Nie Tan sinisterly uttered these words. If the tenant farmers near Luoxia Mountain heard them, no one would believe this was the honest, simple old farmer they remembered!
“Dad, you’re still too soft-hearted. When doing things, you need to do them thoroughly. He’s now connected with Li Shuo and his sister. Even if he temporarily yields, once Li Shuo returns, he definitely won’t let us off!”
It must be said some people are naturally ruthless. Although Nie Feng hadn’t killed anyone yet, the words of cutting weeds and rooting them out were familiar to his heart!
Nie Tan looked up at his son, his eyes sharp as knives. He stared at Nie Feng for a long time. Seeing Nie Feng meet his gaze without fear, he suddenly clapped his hands and praised.
“Good! Feng’er, Dad was always afraid you were too soft-hearted, worried that after I pass away, you’d struggle to survive on Luoxia Mountain. But seeing your performance today, Dad can rest in peace after death!”
Knowing his son had inherited his ruthlessness from his younger years, Nie Tan wasn’t alarmed but rather pleased. In this treacherous world of Cultivation, ruthless people were destined to live longer and go further!
Just like back then when he and Mu Yunfeng arrived in the Cultivation world together. Although Mu Yunfeng’s talent was slightly better than his, now he was still alive while Mu Yunfeng had already turned into a pile of dry bones.
“Feng’er, having such disposition is good, but Dad still wants to remind you: before you decide to use lethal force, don’t easily make enemies with others, understand?” Nie Tan reminded.
“Understood.”
Nie Feng responded impatiently, paying no attention to Nie Tan’s advice. He naturally understood the principle of not easily making enemies with others, but he would never grovel like him either! This chapter was copied from NovelPing without permission.
“Forget it, you’re a cultivator now too. You have your own thoughts. Dad won’t say more. Dad will go keep an eye on Li Shuo and the others.”
Knowing his son didn’t want to hear more, Nie Tan stood up and left. The sharpness between his brows faded, replaced by loneliness.
At dusk, the wind and snow howled furiously as if an invisible hand was sprinkling layers of goose feather-like snow from the sky.
Mu Jiuxiao was sitting cross-legged in cultivation. Having just eaten a pound of spirit beast meat had saved him several hours of hard cultivation.
This spirit beast meat called Great Horn Sheep truly deserved being snatched up by cultivators as soon as it reached the market. It was not only delicious but also rich in Spiritual Qi. With the help of this spirit beast meat, Mu Jiuxiao’s cultivation progress was even faster than he had imagined.
Strands of Spiritual Qi, through his cultivation, remained in his Dantian, filling his Dantian increasingly full. This joy of cultivation was something others would never understand.
“Knock knock!”
However, just as he was immersed in cultivation and couldn’t extricate himself, urgent knocking pulled him away from this joy.
“Little Jiu, something big has happened!”
Outside came Nie Tan’s voice. “Little Jiu, Li Shuo and his sister were injured by a Demon Beast! They’re hanging between life and death! Go take a look quickly!”
Hearing about Li Shuo and his sister’s trouble, Mu Jiuxiao immediately stopped cultivating. However, when he rushed to the door, his hand opening it slowed down, only placing his left hand into his bosom and gripping two Lightning Bolt Talismans.
“What exactly happened?”
He pulled open the door. Outside was Nie Tan’s anxious old face. He urgently said, “Little Jiu, come with me quickly! Today Feng’er went out hunting and encountered Li Shuo and his sister! They’re seriously injured!”
“How could this happen!”
Upon hearing this, Mu Jiuxiao was also extremely worried and quickly followed behind Nie Tan.
“Who knows? They’ve had quite some harvest recently. They must have been careless and gone deep into the mountains!”
Nie Tan quickly led Mu Jiuxiao toward the Qilian Mountains while talking to him. “We tenant farmers haven’t learned many techniques. How can we compare to those proper Qi Condensation cultivators on the mountain? They had good luck before, but this time they’ve fallen!” Read the latest chapters at novelping.com.
“How seriously are they injured? Shouldn’t we find more people to go?” Mu Jiuxiao appeared extremely worried and flustered.
“No, no, Li Shuo said absolutely must not find others. He still has a killed Demon Beast beside him. If we find others, this Demon Beast probably won’t be preserved!”
Upon hearing this, Nie Tan quickly dissuaded him. “Don’t worry, your brother Nie Feng is also there. The three of us are enough to bring them back.”
“Alright then.”
Mu Jiuxiao didn’t insist on finding more people either, just quickly walked forward, even walking ahead of Nie Tan.
Looking at his back, Nie Tan snorted coldly: Foolish brat, just you wait!
“Uncle Nie, where are they?”
After entering the Qilian Mountains about ten li, Mu Jiuxiao slowed down and asked.
“Right ahead, just two kilometers more.”
Nie Tan replied, but his tone was somewhat strange. Mu Jiuxiao seemed not to notice and continued walking forward. Suddenly, a sharp sword stabbed toward his back!
“Aiya!”
Just as this blade was about to pierce through Mu Jiuxiao, unexpectedly at this critical moment, Mu Jiuxiao tripped over a protruding vine on the ground because he was moving too fast!
After falling, hearing the wind behind him, he suddenly dodged to the side and discovered the sharp sword in Nie Tan’s hand.
“Un… Uncle Nie, you… you want to kill me?”
Seemingly because he was scared, he couldn’t even speak a complete sentence. He did a carp flip to stand up from the ground and distanced himself from Nie Tan. “Uncle Nie, what exactly have I done wrong? What haven’t I done right by you? Is it just because two days ago I didn’t agree to lend you spirit beast meat? You want to put me to death?”
“Nephew, you misunderstand. Uncle Nie drew the sword to… to guard against surrounding Demon Beasts!” Nie Tan explained.
“No, don’t try to fool me! I just heard the sound! You wanted to kill me!” Mu Jiuxiao refuted and ran toward the mountains.
“Nephew, listen to my explanation!”
Nie Tan gathered his Qi and chased after him. Mu Jiuxiao didn’t listen at all, just ran into the mountains, shouting while running, “Brother Li Shuo! New Moon! Where are you? Come save me quickly!”
