Chapter 120: The Cold-Hearted Xu Family

Soon, Li Mu realized that they were able to talk while cultivating at the same time.

“The human race doesn’t have a True Realm master. That’s why it has suffered so much. Don’t forget why the ancestor migrated over in the first place.”

Huh?

The True Realm.

Hearing this phrase, Li Mu suddenly became very intrigued.

Sure enough, this trip was not in vain.

But what did he mean by immigration?

Was the Xu Family not from the East Continent?

“If the treasure in our clan hadn’t gone missing, we might already have a True Realm master in our clan.”

“It’s all Xu Dong’s fault!”

“Have you heard back from the people who were sent out to look for Xu Dong?”

“Not yet. Back then, there was too much chaos going on in Zhongzhou. And now, there are demons in the East Continent. I’m afraid that they’re probably dead.”

...

Two days later, Li Mu gained some new information.

The person who had betrayed the Xu family was called Xu Dong.

He had stolen a treasure from the family. The treasure could help someone at the peak of the Virtual Realm have a higher chance of breaking through to the True Realm.

The family had sent a group of people to look for Xu Dong, but they couldn’t find any trace of him in the East Continent.

After that, they went to Zhongzhou to continue their search for him.

But because Zhongzhou was not friendly to outsiders, they failed to find him.

It took a long while for them to get confirmation that Xu Dong that was actually hiding in Zhongzhou.

Two hundred years quickly passed by and the Xu Family’s messengers still hadn’t found Xu Dong.

Later on, they bribed some people from Zhongzhou to find him, but unfortunately, a riot broke out in the Taiyue Sacred Ground in Zhongzhou.

Soon after, Zhongzhou erupted into chaos.

The group of people from the Xu Family discussed this minor matter over two days.

Li Mu came to the conclusion that the family treasure must be the round plate he was currently holding in his hand.

What kind of family was this?

They actually had a True Realm master in their family.

Tormented, Li Mu stayed in the underground palace for another five days.

During this time, Li Mu still couldn’t get the information that he wanted.

But he did manage to learn some secrets of the Xu Family.

The Xu Family seemed to have come from somewhere else that wasn’t a part of this world.

Now that Li Mu had been holding on to the round plate for more than a hundred years, he was certain that this artifact could help him to hone his spiritual power.

It seemed like this round plate really belonged to the Xu Family.

No wonder the Xu Family, who previously had many Virtual Realm masters, had stopped producing powerful masters.

After another two weeks, they were still talking about the demons in the East Continent.

Li Mu already knew a lot of this information.

This group of people didn’t reveal any more than that.

After waiting for so many days, Li Mu was growing impatient.

He hadn’t learned anything new.

He couldn’t wait to capture an elder and ask him more about this.

Upon realizing that the group of elders were still continuing to discuss pointless matters, Li Mu simply left.

Li Mu was bored to death by their conversation.

He wandered around Muyang City, listening carefully to all the comments made about the Xu Family.

“They seem to have a pretty good reputation,” he thought to himself.

After walking around the city, Li Mu concluded that the locals had a pretty good impression of the Xu Family.

Especially since the Evil Gang had appeared.

The Xu Family had driven out the Evil Gang by themselves.

This had dealt a huge blow to the Evil Gang.

“The Xu Family is still being very benevolent. The Evil Gang is very resentful. They will definitely take revenge if you kill one of their disciples. They are underestimating the Evil Gang.”

If they hadn’t defeated the Evil Gang, there would only be trouble waiting for them in the future.

Muyang City would no longer be peaceful.

Right now, the Xu Family was very powerful, but what about the future?

If it were him, he would definitely wipe out the Evil Gang.

Instead of just staying in the underground palace to chat.

A few days later, a group of people from the Xu Family returned.

There were about a thousand people in the Xu Family.

Li Mu looked at the dilapidated Muyang City, then studied the dozens of masters in the Xu Family’s underground palace.

“Does the Xu Family know that the Evil Gang has come back for revenge? Are they hiding their masters to surprise the Evil Gang?” Li Mu continued to hide in the underground palace while listening him on the Xu Family’s conversation.

Sure enough, two months later, the Evil Gang appeared in Muyang City.

Even then, Li Mu still hadn’t heard anything useful yet.

“The Evil Gang is here. It’s about time these old guys take action!”

After half a month, the Evil Gang attacked Muyang City and left it in chaos.

But Li Mu was surprised by what he witnessed.

The Xu Family masters continued lazing around as if nothing was happening.

There was a big fight outside their palace. Why didn’t any of them take action?

Didn’t they care if their descendants were dead or alive?

It wasn’t as if they were oblivious to the Evil Gang either. They evidently knew of their existence.

What a strange group of people.

Soon, the Evil Gang in Muyang City rose up again.

The Evil Gang disciples fed on most of the warriors in the city as they began to gain a foothold in the city.

Muyang City became hell on earth.

Some of the Evil Gang disciples were killed, but each day, the Evil Gang grew stronger by feeding on the citizen’s blood essence.

Li Mu’s became angrier day after day.

Just when Li Mu couldn’t stand it any longer and was about to take action, an old man with a black beard and black robe from the underground palace spoke.

“This should be enough experience for our descendants!”

Experience?

Letting their descendants die was called “experience”?

They were crazy!

Two days later, another elder got up and left the underground palace.

He was an Elder of the Virtual Realm, and he finally made his move. The Evil Gang disciples in Muyang City were quickly defeated.

Out of the initial one thousand people in the Xu family, less than five hundred people survived.

“How cruel!”

Li Mu knitted his brows together tightly.

The Xu Family was cold-hearted!

Li Mu felt that the behavior of the Xu Family was very different from the rest of the people from the East Continent.

No matter how savage some people could be, they still wouldn’t treat their descendants in this way!

Even a vicious tiger would not eat its cubs!

Li Mu was very curious about the Xu family.

It was highly unusual for a family to possess the round plate as a treasure and treat their descendants so cruelly.

After the Evil Gang temporarily retreated, Muyang City was a sad disaster.

Li Mu knew that the Evil Gang would not give up.

But he needed to be patient if he wanted to find out the secrets of Xu Family.

Half a month later, the Evil Gang disciples began to appear outside the city.

After another month, tens of thousands of the Evil Gang disciples surrounded Muyang City.

The leader of the demons arrogantly pointed his sword at Muyang City. “The bastard in Muyang City refused to surrender to us. He even killed the disciples of the Evil Gang. Today, we will destroy Muyang City and take our revenge.”

He continued rousing the Evil Gang disciples: “A dozen demon cubs managed to send Muyang City into chaos. I’ve killed so many of them and now, Muyang City only has a few warriors left. We can finally feed on another family of the East Continent.”

They roared loudly in unison, “Kill Muyang City and destroy the Xu family!”

The faces of the people that were left in the city turned pale.

Somewhere in the attic, Li Mu took out a jar of wine and poured a sip into his mouth.

His cast out his divine consciousness and observed the expressions of everyone in the city.

They were nervous and scared!

Some of them were ready to accept death.

But the remaining warriors of the Xu Family didn’t even have any trace of worry or concern on their faces.

They looked as if the Evil Gang was no match for them.

“Their hearts are much stronger than ordinary people,” Li Mu said solemnly.

A warrior with a strong heart would be able to overcome all difficulties.

Even in the face of powerful enemies, they could still remain calm.

This group of people had unlimited potential to achieve great things.

It seemed that the Xu Family’s elders were going to let their disciples face the Evil Gang all on their own.

Treating them this way was just too cruel.

What on earth had the Xu Family experienced before? Why were they treating their descendants like this?

He was so curious!

He looked at the arrogant Evil Gang outside the city.

Li Mu shook his head. This group of demons was about to suffer.

They would be destroyed!

The Evil Gang rushed toward Muyang City.

The two demons leading the charge were both Virtual Realm masters.

At the top of a mountain dozens of miles away, several masters stared at Muyang City and shook their heads.

“Muyang City is done for!”
