“So there was a war against demons?”

The people from Zhongzhou had invited the masters of the Virtual Realm from the South Continent to slay demons, then jointly set a trap with the demons to kill these masters.

After that, they led the demons towards the South Continent.

Taking advantage of the fact that many masters from the South Continent had died while slaying demons, they sneakily attacked these families and seized their wealth.

How despicable!

After reading the ancestor’s last words, Li Mu became very restless.

He had been so full of resentment!

The old man had died helplessly!

He hated how he didn’t have enough resources!

With nowhere to release his hatred, his cultivation had failed to improve.

Meanwhile, the people of Zhongzhou continued to kill them.

The old man’s life had been miserable.

Li Mu found a huge stone in the valley, and carved out a coffin out of it with his sword. He then placed the old man’s body inside.

Then, he dug a cave in the mountain and placed the stone coffin inside. He used a huge boulder to block the cave’s entrance, and erected a stone monument just outside the cave.

Once the old man was buried, Li Mu went to the valley to find a camphor tree.

He peeled off the tree bark, crushed it, and used it to form six sticks of incense.

Meanwhile, Xia Shiyin brandished her sword as she stepped through the entrance of the Liu’ Family’s house.

Taken aback at the sight of Xia Shiyin, the guard hurried off to report her arrival.

After a while, a few members from the Liu Family came out to greet her.

She was Xia Shiyin, the eldest daughter of the Xia Family.

She hadn’t been to the Liu Family’s house for so many years and she deserved a grand entrance.

Many of the women from the Liu Family also wanted to get on Xia Shiyin’s good side.

The Liu Family’s descendants were becoming increasingly inferior to the previous generation, widening the gap between the Liu family and the Xia Family.

If it weren’t for Liu Yu, the Liu Family would have no saving grace.

“Miss Xia, why have you come?” The mistress of the Liu family asked hurriedly as she invited Xia Shiyin to sit down in the inner hall.

“I’m looking for Liu Huaiting.”

“Who is Liu Huaiting?”

The mistress asked, puzzled. She had never heard of this name before.

Since when did someone from their Liu family befriend someone like Xia Shiyin?

She went to ask the other women in the Liu Family, but no one had heard of her before.

“Could it be that Tingting? Since she is now thirteen and has no possibility of cultivating, according to our Liu family’s tradition, we are preparing to marry her off to the Wang family as a concubine!” Seeming to have thought of something, the woman next to her walked up to the mistress and whispered.

“What? You are planning to marry off a genius like her?” Xia Shiyin’s ears were very sensitive. Hearing this, she stood up abruptly.

Xia Shiyin had searched the entire Bailing Valley but she couldn’t find the slightest trace of Liu Huaiting.

Hence, she had no other choice but to come to Liu Family’s house to look for Liu Huaiting.

Only after finding Liu Huaiting could she find her ancestor.

“Miss Xia, Tingting isn’t a genius.”

“You don’t get to decide that. Bring her here. I need her for something.”

“Miss Xia, why are you looking for Tingting?” The woman sitting beside her asked.

“You don’t need to know that.” Xia Shiyin’s expression changed.

She didn’t need to explain herself to this woman.

Any reason would scare this group of women to death.

She hadn’t even held them accountable yet for wanting to marry off a genius just like that.

Seeing how angry Xia Shiyin was, the Liu Family quickly went to find her. Within an hour, Liu Huaiting was brought to Xia Shiyin’s side.

“Sister, you are here. I don’t want to get married!” Tingting threw herself into Xia Shiyin’s embrace once she saw her.

Other than her grandpa, she was the closest to Xia Shiyin.

“Okay! You don’t need to get married. Tingting, don’t cry!” Xia Shiyin glared at the Liu family as she comforted her.

After coaxing her for a long time, Tingting finally stopped crying.

The women in the Liu Family were surprised at how close Tingting and Xia Shiyin were.

Since when did Tingting and Miss Xia have such a good relationship?

“Where is your grandpa?” Xia Shiyin gently wiped the tears off Tingting’s face with her hand and asked.

“I don’t know where Grandpa went. I want to find him too.”

“Where has Grandpa brought you to before?” Xia Shiyin probed as she stared at Tingting eagerly.

Tilting her head, Tingting thought for a while and said, “Apart from taking out the trash, he also brought me to a valley.”

After a few hours, Tingting and Xia Shiyin arrived at the valley outside the Forbidden Grounds.

“Grandpa brought me in here. It’s very beautiful inside,” said Tingting as she pointed to the valley in the Forbidden Grounds.

Xia Shiyin had guessed correctly.

Even if the old man was not the ancestor of the Xia Family, he was still related to her somehow.

“Tingting, do you know the way there?”

“It’s very foggy inside. I don’t know the way.”

“Then what should we do?”

Not knowing the way would trigger the prohibitions.

On Muguang Mountain, two men wearing animal skins stood on the peak. One of them was bald and wearing black clothes. He had a smile on his face.

The other person was wearing a beautiful robe and radiated charisma from within.

The two of them looked very relaxed.

They had just intercepted and killed a group of the Xia Family’s members and horses, robbing their convoy of supplies.

The carriage contained valuable medicinal materials that the Xia Family had bought from Zhongzhou.

“I don’t think the South Continent people can endure this any longer!” The bald, black-clothed man said with a grin.

He was Elder Wu Ma of the Honghai Sacred Ground.

The other man was Elder Bai Zu of the Honghai Sacred Ground.

“Of course they can’t endure it anymore! We have killed so many of their relatives at their doorstep! Last year, didn’t the ancestor from the Hong Family try to avenge them and end up getting caught by us?” Elder Baizu laughed.

He was very satisfied with the extermination of the Hong Family last year.

After that battle, the ancestor of the Hong family became seriously injured and ended up being caught by them.

Eventually, they took all the treasure that the Hong Family had accumulated over ten thousand years.

“The ancestor of the Xia Family is really tolerant! It seems like we have to kill another group of their disciples.”

“The ancestor of the Xia Family might already by dead! It’s extremely difficult to reach the Virtual Realm. The Xia Family’s ancestor is unlikely to succeed.”

“Even if he hasn’t died, what can he do? Even if he has reached the Virtual Realm, we can handle him. We just need to follow the plan. and eliminate the people from the South Continent at the lowest cost.”

It had already been so many years.

The people from the Sacred Grounds wanted to gather all its power to attack.

But every time, the people of the South Continent would unite and defend against the people of Zhongzhou.

If the people from the Sacred Grounds wanted to destroy the people from the South Continent in one go, their prenatal qi would be greatly injured.

Hence, the Sectmaster started to slowly win over some of the people from the South Continent.

This was how Elder Mu had the opportunity to become one of the elders of the Sacred Grounds.

Sure enough, this caused a divide between the South Continent people.

But South Continent people who were in Zhongzhou were still difficult to deal with.

In the critical moment, the families hidden in Muguang Mountain would always take action.

So this time, they started with the families hidden in Muguang Mountain first and defeated them one by one.

The people of the South Continent would have no one left to help them.

According to the Sectmaster’s plan, the families hidden in Muguang Mountain gradually started to weaken in strength.

After easily defeating the Hong Family, they set their sights on the Xia Family.

Rumor had it that the ancestorof the Xia family that was halfway to the Virtual Realm had been in retreat for more than five hundred years.

But the people from the Sacred Grounds guessed that he was already dead.

Before the Xia Family’s next master in the Virtual Realm was born, they must destroy the Xia Family.

Even if the ancestor had not died, they had traps set up for him.

Unless, someone else had broken through to the Virtual Realm.

“After we destroy the Xia Family, I want the women with good aptitude to join my family. I need better quality offspring. After so many years, a genius still hasn’t been born in my family yet,” Elder Wu Ma licked his lips and said.

“Do you think the women from the Xia Family are pretty? I hope they aren’t all ugly!”
