Black Warrior Domain, Murong clan.
At this moment, in one of the woodshed in the Murong clan, a young man with both hands shackled and full of scars was lying on the ground.
This person was Murong Xuan, who had come to participate in the Murong clan's trial.
Footsteps could be heard coming from outside the woodshed.
A few young men and women walked up as if they had planned it beforehand.
"Oh, Third Young Master, you're still alive." Murong Hai could not help but laugh when he saw Murong Xuan in the woodshed.
"Nonsense, of course we have to keep him alive. We still have to keep him alive to see how we're going to move his lowly mother's grave tomorrow."
A woman smiled playfully.
Murong Xuan's eyes lit up when he heard this. He raised his head and glared at Murong Hai and the others. "If you dare touch my mother, I'll turn into an evil spirit even if I have to die. I'll make sure you die a horrible death!"
"Oh my, I'm so scared."
"Turning into an evil spirit? What a joke."
"Don't say that. Doesn't he look like a ghost now?"
The crowd mocked Murong Xuan.
Murong Hai squatted down and looked at Murong Xuan coldly. "Do you really think you can make a comeback after becoming a Daoist of the Black Heaven Sect?"
"Stop dreaming. It's the Young Emperor and his mother's idea to move your mother out of the clan mausoleum. You know that the Young Emperor's mother has always been brooding over your mother's death. How could she let her lie in the clan mausoleum and receive incense offerings from others? It's already good enough that she didn't drag her out and whip her corpse."
"Oh, right. Do you know where we're going to move your mother's grave? Isn't there a mass grave outside the city? Oh my, the people who died there are all beggars and peasants. They stink to the heavens. It's perfect for your lowly mother to be with them. "
Murong Hai's words made Murong Xuan's eyes turn red with hatred. He roared like a wild beast. "I'll kill you!"
He charged at Murong Hai but was sent flying with a kick. He crashed into a pile of firewood and could not fight back at all.
"Your meridians are destroyed, your spiritual mound is damaged, and your limbs are tied up. You're like a dead dog now. How dare you try to fight back? Ptui!"
Murong Hai spat and laughed as he turned around and left.
The others looked at Murong Xuan with disdain before following Murong Hai out of the dirty and messy woodshed.
Murong Xuan was the only one left in the woodshed, lying on the ground. There were a few pieces of firewood lying on top of his body, but he did not move at all. It was as if he was dead.
There is no greater sorrow than a dead heart.
Another person arrived outside the woodshed. It was Murong Feng.
He stared at Murong Xuan, who was lying on the ground in a sorry state. A hint of anger flashed across his eyes. "They're here to cause you trouble again."
Hearing the voice, Murong Xuan asked, "Does it have anything to do with you?"
Murong Feng was silent for a moment before he sighed. "Perhaps I shouldn't have told you this news. I shouldn't have brought you back."
"You said before that as long as I display sufficient results in the clan's training and receive the attention of the elders, I would be able to protect my mother. But now, I have become a cripple. Everything is useless."
"I didn't expect them to be so ruthless. They actually secretly hired people from the Blackstain Plumes to deal with you." Murong Feng sighed. He had underestimated the shamelessness of Murong Hai and Murong Yu.
"What's the point of saying all this now?"
"I'll look for your father and ask him to let you off the hook."
"Father? Hehe, hehe … "
Murong Xuan let out a low chuckle. "He never cared about me in the past. Now that I've become a cripple, do you think he'll create a rift between him and his promising eldest son, Murong Yu, over a cripple? The word 'father' disgusts me! "
"In any case, I'll try my best. You have the Black Heaven Sect as your background, so the Murong clan will definitely be wary of you."
After that, Murong Feng sighed and left.
He suddenly remembered Chu Kuangren's warning when he brought Murong Xuan back. The uneasiness in his heart gradually grew.
Now that things had developed to this point, it had long exceeded his expectations.
"Black Heaven Sect, Sect Leader …"
Murong Xuan murmured.
Compared to the Murong clan, the Black Heaven Sect was his home.
He also knew that Chu Kuangren would not give up on him. He even guessed that Chu Kuangren was on his way to the Murong clan.
Unfortunately, the Black Heaven Sect and the Murong clan were too far apart. By the time Chu Kuangren arrived, his mother would have already been thrown into the mass grave.
Thinking of this, Murong Xuan was filled with grief and anger.
…
The next day.
The Murong clan was paying their respects to their ancestors in front of the clan mausoleum. The Murong clan's head, elders, and even disciples from the main branch were all present.
"The clan's trial has come to a successful end. I hereby pray to our ancestors. May our ancestors bless the Murong clan for all eternity!"
The Murong clan's head led the crowd to the clan mausoleum and offered incense.
After a long while, the long and tedious ceremony was over.
"Men, open the clan mausoleum!" Beside the Murong clan's head, a noblewoman dressed in a luxurious robe with a hairpin on her head ordered loudly.
The Murong clan's head watched from the side and did not stop her.
The clan mausoleum opened.
A few disciples who had been notified beforehand walked in and carried out a black coffin in a short while.
The noblewoman said calmly, "Within the clan mausoleum are the ancestors who have made great contributions to the Murong clan. They are all of high status. This lowly servant girl has neither virtue nor talent. Placing her inside will only disturb the ancestors' peace."
"Hence, today, we shall move her to another place for burial."
As soon as she said that, many of the Murong clan's disciples started to whisper among themselves.
"I heard that the Mistress will move the Ning clan out of the clan mausoleum today. I thought it was just a rumor but it turned out to be true."
"Tsk, the Ning clan has been dead for so long and now they're moving her grave. She really can't rest in peace. How pitiful."
"I heard that the Ning clan was just a servant girl back then but the Master took a liking to her and took her in as a concubine. She gave birth to Murong Xuan but because the main wife, the Lin clan, was dissatisfied, the mother and son were slowly neglected."
"Yeah, the Lin clan is a top-notch Honorable Orthodoxy. The Ning clan is just a servant girl with no background. How could she win against the Lin clan? The Master only had a crush on her for a while."
"Scumbag!"
"Shh, do you want to die? Don't spout nonsense."
In the crowd, Murong Hai gave a look to someone next to him.
That person understood and left the scene.
Soon, that person dragged Murong Xuan to a corner and made him watch as his mother's coffin was taken away.
"Mother, mother!"
Murong Xuan's eyes were bloodshot as if he had gone mad.
However, he could not break free from that person's grip.
At that moment, Murong Hai rolled his eyes and a playful smile appeared on his face. He flicked his finger and shot a ray of energy at the knee of the disciple who was carrying the coffin.
The disciple could not help but fall to the ground in pain. The coffin also fell to the ground and the lid was lifted. A skeleton fell out and was exposed to the sunlight.
Murong Xuan felt his blood rushing to his head and his mind was about to explode. "Mother!!"
With a roar, he used all his strength to break free from the person behind him and ran toward the coffin.
However, before he could take more than a few steps, he was pressed to the ground by a Domain Energy and could not move.
The person who attacked him was the Murong clan's Young Emperor, Murong Yu.
"This is the Murong clan's memorial ceremony. How dare you act so presumptuously!"
Murong Yu said coldly. Murong Hai and the others looked at Murong Xuan with gloating expressions.
Murong Feng could not stand it anymore and wanted to stop him.
However, at that moment …
The sky suddenly turned dark.
