As soon as Mo Fan left, the Black Totem Snake turned into a thick mist.
The mist in the shape of a snake did not dissipate even after a long time. The elders were feeling uneasy, as they could not tell if the snake was still on Mupang Mountain.
…
The Great Elder, Fan Ning, sat in a secret chamber that seemed to be made of jade. Half of his body was lying on a chair. A dim lamp hung above his head, but it made him look even gloomier and colder.
"How's the Hidden Phoenix?" Great Elder Fan Ning asked.
"She's crippled. She can only spend the rest of her life in bed, unless we send her to Parthenon and ask a Great Muse to help her recover," Mu Fangzhou said.
"Then we'll send her to a place with beautiful scenery and treat her well," Great Elder Fan Ning said.
"What about him?" Mu Fangzhou pointed at Mu Feiluan, who was lying on the jade bed.
Mu Feiluan had woken up. His eyes were glaring at the Great Elder furiously and viciously.
"Don't look at me like that. I'm already doing my best to keep you alive," Great Elder Fan Ning said.
"Great Elder, since when did our Mu Clan fall so low to be bullied by two little scum? Humph, I'll go to Fanxue Mountain and slaughter every single one of them once I've collected the medicine!" Mu Feiluan swore.
If the Mu Clan had a way to cripple someone's cultivation, they had a way to recover their cultivation too. However, it was difficult to find the Tianshan Sacred Lotus that had existed for a thousand years.
Luckily, the Mu Clan was wealthy and influential. They could easily find the Tianshan Sacred Lotus.
"You don't have to worry about it," Great Elder Fan Ning waved his hand.
"Is the Great Elder going to do it himself!?" Mu Feiluan's eyes flickered with excitement.
The Great Elder was reluctant to make a move because of the Black Totem Snake's presence on the mountain. He was not afraid of the Black Totem Snake, but if the Black Totem Snake fought someone like the Great Elder, it would surely result in great destruction. It would not benefit the Mupang Mountain at all.
Besides, Great Elder Fan Ning's greatest strength was not his unfathomable cultivation, but his cruel methods. Even the old cunning foxes of the renowned clans were no match for him!
"Mu Ningxue's Ice Crystal Bow has reached the Minor Mastery stage. We can't let someone who isn't under the Mu Clan get their hands on it," Great Elder Fan Ning said.
Everyone had witnessed the power of the Ice Crystal Bow. It was able to turn Mu Ningxue, who was weaker than Mu Yinfeng and Mu Feiluan, into a Super Mage. Even Great Elder Fan Ning was intimidated by it.
"HAHAHA, it's only a matter of time before Mu Ningxue dies with the Great Elder involved. If that's the case, the humiliation I'm suffering now is nothing!" Mu Feiluan burst out laughing.
"Feiluan, I'm afraid you'll have to suffer a little more. After all, you've set up a troublesome enemy for the Mu Clan. Many renowned clans are eyeing our Mu Clan, so it's difficult for us to do anything that doesn't fit our reputation. They will surely make an issue out of Mu Ningxue's incident to restrict our Mu Clan," Fan Ning said.
"If the Great Elder wants them dead, I'll do my best to cooperate. However, my cultivation has been crippled. I might need your help to recover," Mu Feiluan said sincerely.
"It's good that you understand the Great Elder. Don't worry, the Great Elder will avenge you. You just need to cooperate with Mu Fangzhou. It's a piece of cake," Great Elder Fan Ning said.
Mu Feiluan was confused.
How was he supposed to cooperate? He had to hand over his position at the meeting.
It was not a problem. After all, he needed to recover from his injuries. Without his cultivation, no one would listen to him.
In the Mu Clan, everyone seemed to be well-dressed, but in fact, everyone was ruthless. The weak were prey to the strong, and the winner was king.
"Here's the thing, Fangzhou, we've set up a private military camp in the north. We've been researching some forbidden arts, but unfortunately, we haven't succeeded. The Ice Element Art that can cripple a cultivator's cultivation is actually just a side product. The real effect is something stronger and more imperious … "Mu Fangzhou said to Mu Feiluan.
"What is it?" Mu Feiluan sensed something was not right.
Mu Fangzhou was suddenly engulfed in a black, demonic aura. Something that looked like tentacles flew out of the aura and pierced Mu Feiluan's forehead, wrists, ankles, stomach, and heart!
Mu Feiluan was so shocked that his eyes almost popped out of their sockets. He wanted to scream, but First Elder Fan Ning covered his mouth with his walking stick.
Mu Feiluan's body twitched. The tentacles seemed to be draining his life force. His already weakened body continued to wither!
Meanwhile, luxurious Ice Luan feathers spread out from Mu Fangzhou's back. The feathers were glamorous, each with a unique pattern that contained the ancient, mysterious power of the Ice Emperor.
The Ice Luan feathers became clearer. Mu Feiluan lay on the ground. He could not believe his eyes!
The Innate Talent he was born with …
The Innate Talent of the Ice Element that he was so proud of had 'grown' into Mu Fangzhou's body!
How was this possible!?
He could steal Mu Ningxue's Ice Crystal Bow because it was a piece of magic Equipment that was bound to her soul. He could simply destroy her soul and take the bow away, allowing someone else to inherit it.
However, the power of the Ice Luan was his Innate Talent!
How could anyone steal it from him? How could anyone transfer it to someone else?
"Oh Feiluan, you know the rules of the Mu Clan. If you won, you would still be Mu Feiluan. Unfortunately, you lost …"
"Mu Ningxue is stronger than you."
"The Ice Crystal Bow is more valuable than you."
"As for you, you shouldn't waste your Innate Talent. Mu Fangzhou will use you as a bargaining chip to avenge you!"
"For the sake of the Mu Clan's glory, I'm sure you can accept the humiliation, right?"
"Don't worry, you won't die. You can keep your sister company too. The Mu Clan can still afford to feed two vegetative people like you."
Fan Ning pulled the cane out of Mu Feiluan's mouth and wiped it on the carpet.
Blue veins covered Mu Feiluan's skin. He was extremely skinny. It was a huge contrast to his previous handsome appearance. It was almost impossible to recognize him.
"Don't you have any self-awareness when you were born in the Mu Clan!?"
"There's nothing to hate. You should hate yourself!"
"We will avenge you. When the Mu Clan needs your sacrifice, you should make the sacrifice too."
The Mu Clan had always been cruel and cold, just so they could grow stronger.
Mu Ningxue, Hou Ze … How could Mu Feiluan possibly escape from the cruel rules?
The Mu Clan had no sympathy for the losers.
