    Chapter Index

    Perhaps his gaze under the emotional turmoil was too piercing, the several minor magi who were staring at him hurriedly waved their hands and said, “We didn’t tell outsiders!”

    Xie Ren reddened her eyes and said, “Then how did they know?!”

    After the thirty or so Divine Magi present heard those words, not many of their faces showed surprise at all. Since so many Divine Officials knew about it, how many Divine Officials in the Upper Heavenly Court knew about it?

    Being questioned by him, the several magi stuck for a moment, and then defended: “They are not outsiders, here are familiar friends, there is no secret between us, tell them do not count as telling others, in addition to this magi we will not say out ……” Not waiting for him to finish, Xie Ren will say sternly: “Lies! Lies and lies! I don’t believe it!!!”

    Being interrupted by him in such a harsh voice, the several minor magi were a bit embarrassed and retreated back into the crowd. At this moment, one of the magi suddenly said loudly, “What does it matter if you believe it or not? Your Highness, the good things you did during the period of your relegation, it’s good that people didn’t denounce you on the spot, and you still ask others to keep your secret? What obligation do we have to keep your secret? What a joke!”

    Xie Ren as if suddenly poured a basin of water on the face of the ice, and a knife stabbed through the heart, urgently said, “No. I ……”

    Another person said, “If you don’t do anything wrong in the day, you can’t be afraid of ghosts knocking on your door in the middle of the night. If you don’t clean yourself up, how can you blame others for not keeping their promises? If someone hides this kind of injustice for you, that’s a dereliction of duty and immorality!”

    Xie Ren said, “No!!!! I ……”

    He wanted to say that I had a reason, that I didn’t want to, but he knew in his heart of hearts that whatever the reason was, it didn’t matter. What matters is that he did rob!

    Such a stain, as if a brand of shame was branded on his face, made him infinitely small in front of these Divine Magi, not even daring to speak up in his own defense. Seeing his momentum go down, a Martial God stood out and said, “Your Highness, you should now understand why we don’t want you to cultivate here as well, right?”

    Xie Ren lowered his head and clenched his fists.

    That Martial God then said, “We’re not all the way, the paths are different, you’d better leave on your own.”

    Seeing him say “different paths do not make plans for each other”, but Xie Ren suddenly understood.

    After all was said and done, in the final analysis, wasn’t it still wanting him to give up this spiritual land!

    The bones of his hands and fists clicked, his throat suppressed for a while, and he said in a deep voice, “…… I’m not leaving. I’m going to cultivate here.”

    At this moment, the anger towards these three dozen magi had overwhelmed his sense of shame.

    Anyway, we’ve already reached this point, why don’t we just break the pot and give up? Compared to slinking away, he would rather have the cheek to barricade himself here and teach them not to get their way. Xie Ren raised his head fiercely and repeated, “I want to cultivate here. This mountain is not your territory, you are not qualified to make me leave!”

    Seeing his tough attitude, the thirty or so Divine Magi all darkened their faces. Xie Ren heard someone whisper, “Why is this necessary?”

    “I’ve really never seen such a cheeky ……”

    However, no matter what they said, Xie Ren stayed in place. Even though her heart was already bleeding from her lips and tongue, she stubbornly held herself still.

    That Martial God said, “It seems that His Highness the Crown Prince is bent on making things unpleasant for everyone?”

    Xie Ren coldly said, “Come and drive me away if you have the ability, anyway, even if you want to, you don’t have that ability!”

    As soon as this sentence was uttered, the dozen or so Divine Magi on the opposite side of the room immediately changed color and drew their blades in unison!

    This is natural. For a Martial God, that sentence just now was a great provocation. There were quite a few Martial God officials present, so how could they ignore it?

    Surrounded by a group of people, Xie Ren had no fear. He did not have a sword in his hand, but only held tightly onto a tree branch that served as a walking stick when hiking. A Martial God Officer said solemnly, “Your Highness, if you apologize immediately, we can take it as if you did not offend us just now.”

    Xie Ren, however, said, “If I have made you all unhappy in any way, I will never apologize.”

    He clutched the branch, pointed forward, and said, “Because you are not worthy of being gods at all!”

    There was a commotion across the street.

    Someone snorted, “We’re not worthy? Robbers like you who rob mortals are worthy!”

    Xie Ren couldn’t bear it any longer, and he didn’t want to bear it in the first place, so he copied the tree branch and attacked, drinking, “Deceiving people too much!”

    The dozen or so Martial Divine Officers also met the battle with their blades. A Divine Officer in the back row said, “It’s not like we told you to rob, what’s the point of you blaming us!”

    They were too happy too soon. Originally thought that Xie Ren neither had the strength nor the blade, surely it was easy to deal with, but who knows, it was not that at all. Although what Xie Ren was holding was just a branch, he made it look like a poisoned blade, aggressive and powerful. Not long after the two sides came up against each other, several Martial Spirit Officers’ swords almost flew off for him, and they didn’t even dare to give the branch’s strong wind a scratch, and were so shocked that they hurriedly flashed to the back row.

    With the honor of a Magus, it was a disgrace to be unable to defeat a relegated mortal!

    At that moment, a magus watching the battle suddenly screamed miserably from afar and trumpeted, “What the hell?!”

    At this shout, the other clergymen were shocked, “What’s going on?!”

    The magus seemed to be in severe pain, covering his face and bending over, “Just, just now, a ball of ghostly fire hit me in the eye …… Is it him who messed up?”

    Xie Ren remembered that this was the very same magus who had just pointed his nose at him and called him a robber, and laughed back in anger: “What ghost fire? You want to rob the spiritual land, just say so, no need to slander me again!”

    He was furious and struck even harder, a circle of Martial God’s swords and spears gave him an ordinary tree branch in his hand that was said to be not too thick and not too thin crackled and knocked off the ground. Suddenly, a man shouted: “Caught! Caught! You guys look!”

    Xie Ren’s figure settled slightly, only to see the opposite magi in disarray, with someone grasping something in their hands and raising it high, saying, “There really is a ghost fire, he’s up to no good! Caught the evidence!”

    Xie Ren fixed his eyes on it, and it was indeed a tiny ghostly flame burning eerily. He said angrily, “I have no idea what’s going on! What makes you guys say that I’m up to something just because you’ve caught a ghost fire? Ghost fire is not a rare thing! Does it have my name written on it?!”

    The shrieking magus covered his eyes and said, “How could ordinary ghost fire go towards my eyes? How could this happen if you didn’t order it?”

    Xie Ren rebuked, “Then I also said that it could also be just a wandering spirit on this mountain that was unintentionally scared out of its wits by you guys before bumping into it! What kind of evidence is this?”

    The Martial God who made the first move snatched the ghost fire and said, “Who cares who ordered it, this kind of harmful thing, breaking it up is!” Saying this, he exerted force on his hand, actually wanting to pinch the ghost fire to the point of dispersing his soul. Seeing this, Xie Ren said offhandedly, “Let go of it!”

    After all, he couldn’t bear that wandering soul to be affected by this farce of theirs, so he grabbed forward and fought with that God of Wushu. As he intended to seize the soul, he was a bit more restrained in his strikes, and while they were in a stalemate, a few of the magi at the back suddenly shouted, “You’re here? Come quickly! Come and take a look, what’s going on here!”

    It sounded like someone had arrived. The magi turned back and all said, “You’re finally here!” “I’ve been waiting for you for a long time, come and help!”

    Upon hearing this, Xie Ren was first startled, thinking, “Could it be that some powerful Magus has come?” Then on second thought, “Who cares who is coming, if they are also coming to make things difficult for me, so what if they fight again! I’m not afraid of anyone!!!”

    He was now full of grievances and was ready for a big fight. Who knows, after the crowd parted and the late comer came forward, Xie Ren was completely frozen.

    Never thought that the person who came, was actually Mu Ai!

    Mu Qi also obviously did not expect that he would encounter Xie Ren in this kind of situation, and the two of them were both filled with consternation as soon as they hit each other. Xie Ren’s eyes widened, forgetting the Martial Gods that were fighting him to one side, mumbling, “…… Why are you here? You’re not ……”

    After a few words, he noticed something, realized it, and closed his mouth.

    What Mu Qi was wearing now was not the outdated black clothes they had been wearing when they had fled all the way, but the official uniform of the Martial God of the Lower Heavenly Court.

    Originally, when Feng Xin and Mu Yi were active as Xie Ren’s deputies, their abilities were quite appreciated and attracted attention. Later, when Xie Ren was demoted, many magi lamented that Feng Xin and Mu情 were demoted together with him, and there were also those who secretly came to ask them if they wanted to be transferred to other magi’s halls to serve. If there is a magistrate out of admiration, it is not impossible to bring back Mu Xiang to the Lower Heavenly Court for their own use.

    That must be it. Moreover, he should be mixing well now, or else he wouldn’t have joined this group of Divine Magi and come out in groups to find a cavernous blessed land to cultivate in.

    Xie Ren was still in a mortal body, but Mu Ai had already returned to the Lower Heavenly Court, a situation that was inexplicably ironic.

    Over there, Muyong easily settled down and wondered, “What’s going on here?”

    The gods and goddesses rushed to tell him the causes and consequences. Xie Ren stood far away, his body stiff and incomparable.

    He noticed that they hadn’t specifically told Muyoung about his robbery. What did that mean?

    It means that Muoi has also heard about this for a long time. Muoi also knew that he had gone to rob!!!!

    Drop after drop of cold sweat rolled down from Xie Ren’s head as he involuntarily took two steps back. The Martial God who had confronted him earlier panted and shouted, “He wants one person to seize the spiritual land and drive us away, Mu情 quickly come and help!”

    What’s the favor?

    Getting Muoi’s help to come along and beat him up?

    Xie Ren was so angry that his scalp was numb with shock. He easily reacted and stammered angrily, “…… You guys, you’re really turning black and white upside down and shameless to the extreme! It’s not like that at all! I clearly didn’t!”

    Mu情就在旁边看着,他心里着急生气,又是一树枝又打了出去,那武神有些招架不住,节节退,又喊道:”Mu情! What are you waiting for!”

    The other Magi followed suit and shouted, but Mu情 always looked hesitant, as if he didn’t know whether to make a move or not. Xie Ren heard them repeatedly urging Mu情 to join them in besieging himself, his heart raged furiously, “Mu情 won’t be like you guys, he’s my friend, he’s not going to help you guys!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!”

    Angrily, he exerted force under his hands and sent another row of blades flying. The rest of the Magi saw that he was getting more and more courageous and his momentum was not right, so they said, “Mu情! Are you just going to watch him mess around?!”

    The look on Muyi’s face changed, and he stepped forward, his fingers twitching slightly as the cleric standing beside him urged, “Don’t stay still, help!”

    At this time, someone else said in a conspiratorial manner, “Mu love doesn’t want to move, it’s understandable, after all, he used to be the personal attendant of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, even if His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and robbed and robbed the spiritual land, but also have to pay attention to the old master-servant relationship well. People don’t go to help His Highness the Crown Prince’s favor has already given face, how can we still expect him to help our favor?”

    These words sounded like they were excusing him, but in reality, they were sinister to the extreme, and a few veins instantly climbed up on the neck of Mu情’s forehead.

    The atmosphere was subtle, Xie Ren sensed that something was wrong and said, “Mu love ……”

    He only called out a name, and in the next moment, there was a steely lightness in his hand and the sound of something being chipped.

    Xie Ren froze, looked down, was cut off, is his only “blade”, the branch; then look up, opposite the Mu love hand, has been transformed into a long | knife.

    At this moment, the blade was pointing at Xie Ren. And the person holding the blade coldly said, “…… Please leave.”

    “……”

    Xie Ren held half a branch in his hand, looked at Mu Qing, and after a long time, said, “I …… didn t really want to rob. I didn’t seize the spiritual land either. I was the one who came first.”

    “……”

    Muoi repeated with an expressionless face, “Please leave.”

    Xie Ren looked at him, hesitated for a moment, and said, “…… You know I didn t lie, right?”

    As he asked this, he was a little expectant and a little afraid. A voice told him not to ask, to turn away! But he couldn’t resist asking.

    Before Mu Qi could reply, Xie Ren’s body suddenly leaned forward and her entire body fell heavily to the ground.

    The ground was the dirt floor of a mountain road, pitted and full of fallen rocks and broken leaves. Xie Ren pounced on the ground, and was suddenly wide-eyed and still somewhat incredulous.

    I don’t know which Magus, taking advantage of his loss of concentration pushed him behind his back, causing him to fall in such an ugly way in front of so many pairs of eyes.

    It is really too ugly. In all directions, there was the sound of people of varying heights and spreading out in the sky, Xie Ren heard them all, a pair of eyes opened extremely wide, looking at the blackened ground in front of him, and then very, very slowly raised his head, looking at Mu Qing, who was standing not far in front of him.

    Muoi stood right in the middle of those magi, not looking at him, looking sideways, and like all the others, had no intention of reaching out to pull him up.

    So Xie Ren realized that no one would pull him up.

    After a long time on his back, he slowly got up off the ground on his own.

    The magi thought he was going to make another attack and were on guard, but Xie Ren didn’t make another move on anyone, instead he looked down on the ground for a while and found the small parcel that the Queen had packed for him, silently picked it up and put it back on his back, turned around, and took one step at a time towards the bottom of the mountain.

    As he walked, his steps became faster and faster. Before long, Xie Ren was running wildly.

    He held his breath, all the way to run down the mountain, not stopping for a moment. I don’t know how far he ran, suddenly didn’t pay attention to his feet, and fell again, and only then did that breath spit out with a smell of blood.

    In the midst of panic, he didn’t think to get up, just sat on the ground to catch his breath. When his breath gradually calmed down, Xie Ren didn’t think to stand up either, instead he just sat there and started to freeze.

    Suddenly, a hand reached out.

    Xie Ren blinked slightly sluggishly and followed the hand, slowly looking up, it was actually Mu Qing again.

    He stood in front of Xie Ren, his face slightly green, stretching out one hand, and half a moment later, he said in a raw tone, “Are you alright.”

    Xie Ren looked at him dumbfounded and didn’t say anything.

    Perhaps uncomfortable by this creepy gaze of his, Mu Ai avoided his eyes.

    But his hand was still outstretched, and he said, “Get up.”

    But the hand had been reached too late.

    Xie Ren didn’t take his hand or get up, still staring straight at him.

    The two stalemate for a long time, the Mu love’s face is becoming more and more ugly, is about to retract the hand, Xie Ren suddenly grabbed a handful of mud from the ground, “snap” sound thrown to the Mu love body.

    Mu love did not expect him to do this kind of thing, simply do not know whether to say that it is rude or childish, his chest immediately exploded into a dirty mess, his face also splashed a few points, staggered. In a few moments, anger surged up, but was strongly suppressed by him, whispered, “…… I have no choice!”

    He indeed had no way out. Now that he and those Magi were supposed to be on good terms, if he just watched his fellow officers being brutally beaten by Xie Ren without him stepping in to stop them, or if he was thought to be on Xie Ren’s side, he was afraid that he wouldn’t be in a good position.

    As if Xie Ren could not speak anymore, he would only grab the rotten mud on the ground and keep smashing him. Mu Yi couldn’t block it after a few times and said angrily, “Are you crazy? I said I’m clueless, aren’t you clueless when you go robbing?!”

    Roll! Roll! Roll!

    Xie Ren only had this one word in his head, yet he couldn’t even say this one word, and could only frantically grab whatever he could grab in his hand and smash it. He also didn’t care who he smashed. Finally, Mu Qi couldn’t take it anymore and whisked his sleeves away with an iron-clad face. Xie Ren gasped a few ragged breaths and sat back down paralyzed, launching himself into a daze again.

    He just sat there until dark.

    After dark, I don’t know where many phosphorus flames floated around, ghostly fluttering. Xie Ren acted as if he didn’t see them, and couldn’t muster any energy.

    However, as if unwilling to go unnoticed by him, those phosphorescent flames gathered more and more around him. Xie Ren continued to ignore it.

    Until, amidst the phosphorescent flames, a figure appeared.

    That person’s arrival was always accompanied by a great sense of foreboding. Xie Ren sensed something and slowly looked up.

    Ten paces away, a white-robed figure stood amidst countless floating phosphorus flames, a half-mask on his face was smiling morosely.

    He said in a conciliatory manner, “Hello, Your Royal Highness.”
