Chapter 421:- Lin Ruobai's Father Arrives (3)
Spirit God Mountain?
Xiao Lin's original despairing expression suddenly brightened after hearing the three words Spirit God Mountain. "The people from the Spirit God Mountain have arrived? As long as they come, the Xiao Family will be saved! Hahaha, Wei Lianye, you've colluded with outsiders to harm the Spirit Domain. Do you think that person from Spirit God Mountain will forgive you?"
Although Xiao Lin was also suspicious of why the Spirit God Mountain would come to the Xiao Family without any reason, this did not mean he wouldn't make use of their strength to flaunt their might! As long as the Spirit God Mountain backed them up, these people would be unable to cause any trouble!
Thinking of that, his gaze turned towards Yun Xiao who was on one side and his aged face was smiling. "I can give you a chance to hand over your soul jade plaque and return to the Xiao Family! Otherwise, you will definitely regret your decision today!"
The Spirit God Mountain was the strongest force in the Spirit Domain and also symbolized power and prestige! The Spirit God Mountain had a God-like existence in the hearts of everyone in the Spirit Domain! Unsurpassable and unparalleled!
As he was speaking, sounds of orderly footsteps of the people from the Spirit God Mountain resounded in the entire rear mountain. Not even a moment later, Xiao Lin saw a handsome middle-aged man hastily walking over from the foot of the mountain. His clothing was freely flying in the wind and he had an astonishing might! One need not think to know that this man's identify was certainly incomparably grand!
A group of bodyguards followed behind the man and their strength was out of the ordinary. Their auras were like a treasured sword that was unsheathed and extremely sharp.
In the vast sea of people, in a glance Lin Jingfeng saw Lin Ruobai who was obediently standing beside Yun Luofeng. Only after seeing that his precious daughter was unharmed did his heart slowly loosen. Right now, whenever he recalled the letter that Wei Liancheng had sent over, a raging fury would bubble up in his heart.
"Lord Jingfeng," Wei Lianye walked over slowly and a hint of a smile curved upon his aged face, "you're here?"
Lord Jingfeng?
A look of astonishment appeared on Xiao Lin's face. Could it be that this middle-aged man before me was that person on Spirit God Mountain that had been revered as a supreme existence?
"Lord!" Thinking of this, Xiao Lin immediately recovered his senses and he fiercely stared at Wei Lianye while he hastily spoke, "Wei Lianye this old man is excessively unruly, to actually collude with outsiders to scheme and seize power in the Spirit Domain! That illegitimate daughter of his is the best evidence!"
Wei Lianye's illegitimate daughter had acknowledged an outsider as her master and right now, that outsider was thinking of oppressing the Xiao Family. Didn't this indirectly prove that Wei Lianye had colluded with outsiders?
Lin Jingfeng, who originally wanted to walk towards his treasured daughter, stopped in his tracks because of Xiao Lin's words. He looked in astonishment at Wei Lianye and asked, "Lianye, when did you have an illegitimate daughter? Why was I unaware of this?"
Wei Lianye was also baffled as he touched his own head and in a puzzled manner replied, "Illegitimate daughter? Even I am not aware of any illegitimate daughter."
"Wei Lianye! You're still trying to worm out of this!" Xiao Lin coldly snorted and he angrily pointed towards Lin Ruobai. "Isn't this darn girl your illegitimate daughter? If it weren't because you have a relationship with her, why would you indulge her as such?"
Following the direction where Xiao Lin pointed, Lin Jingfeng gaze gradually turned towards his precious daughter who was nibbling on her fingers...
Afterward...
His entire being was stunned.
Wei Lianye's expression revealed an odd look. In addition to his initial disdain, his gaze looking towards Xiao Lin also contained sympathy. He helplessly shook his head but his face had unconcealable gloating.

Chapter 422:- Lin Ruobai's Father Arrives (4)
"Lord," Xiao Lin did not see that odd expression of Wei Lianye and he continued speaking, "a man like him does not have the qualifications to be the spokesperson of the Spirit God Mountain. Only people who are unconditionally loyal to the Spirit Domain have such a right."
He was indirectly saying that Wei Lianye did not have the right to be a spokesperson, and only a person like him, Xiao Lin, who was loyal had this right!
"Keke!" Wei Lianye sneeringly laughed, "Xiao Lin, I truly don't know if you are really stupid or not, but I've never seen a person who is stupid to such an extent as you."
This idiot actually dared to claim that Lin Ruobai was my illegitimate daughter in front of Lin Jingfeng. Wasn't this bringing it on oneself?
Lin Jingfeng's expression was so solemn that it was frightening. An intense storm seemed to rush forth from his eyes and a glance as sharp as sword shot at Xiao Lin. However, he did not say anything ultimately but walked towards Lin Ruobai without consulting anyone. When Lin Jingfeng stood before the young lady, his footsteps paused and his voice hoarsely called, "Wei Lianye."
Xiao Lin proudly looked at Wei Liancheng. That old bastard actually dared to help these people and make things difficult for the Xiao Family and now that the Spirit God Mountain people were here, he's doomed!
However, continuing on, Lin Jingfeng's words caused Xiao Lin's aged face to stiffen and he was stupefied to the extent of not being able to speak.
The man's voice became increasingly low and it was as if a sharp knife had drifted past him, "Guard him and don't let him escape."
Xiao Lin's expression was lifeless as he did not understand the meaning of Lin Jingfeng's words. According to reason, shouldn't he fly into a rage out of humiliation and kill these outsiders and Wei Lianye that traitor?
But why did he ask Wei Lianye to guard him?
Soon, Lin Jingfeng's actions answered to the questions in Xiao Lin's heart.
When he had walked to Lin Ruobai, his sharp expression gradually became gentle, and his handsome face had a tender smile as he spoke gently, "Xiao Bai, why didn't you throw yourself into your father's embrace after seeing me this time around like you did in the past?"
The man's voice had instantly thrown Xiao Lin into the underworld.
His heart was ice-cold and cold sweat emerged from his entire body.
He seemed to have heard Lin Jingfeng say the words 'your father'?
Don't tell me, that young lady was Lin Jingfeng's daughter?
Thinking of this possibility, Xiao Lin's expression became pale and lacked of color instantly. The reason Wei Lianye had indulged that young lady as such, was not because she was his illegitimate daughter, but instead, because of the other's party identity as the Miss of Spirit God Mountain?
It was such a joke that he had just assumed that Lin Ruobai was Wei Lianye's illegitimate daughter and had even said it out loud in front of her real father.
"Daddy," Lin Ruobai looked at Lin Jingfeng who was walking closer and her bright eyes contained a grievance, "do you not love me anymore?"
Lin Jingfeng did not understand why his precious daughter would say such things, and he couldn't help but stare blankly. Soon after, he saw her expression of being unfairly treated, and the gentleness in his face became increasingly prominent. "Xiao Bai, you are my only daughter and if I don't love you, who will I love?"
Lin Ruobai pouted her small lips, and she looked towards Lin Yue whose complexion was already deathly pale without any color. "Earlier on, this auntie said that your daughter was unable to carry on the ancestral line for the family and will not be liked by Daddy. Only someone like her son is considered a real genius. She also said that you would hand over all your assets to your nephew rather than giving them to me! Otherwise, you would become the joke of others!"

Chapter 423:- Arrogant and Domineering (1)
When Lin Jingfeng heard his daughter's words, his gently smiling face immediately darkened. An icy look flickered across his sharp eyes, and guided by Lin Ruobai's gaze he slowly turned his eyes to Lin Yue, who was lying on the ground and pretending to be dead. Trembling all over, Lin Yue prayed that Lin Jingfeng would not notice her, her eyes tight shut, her pale face perspiring...
Unfortunately, he did.
The man's eyes were like sharp blades, scraping over her skin, and this made her feel like she was being cut into pieces by those blades, her heart filled with pain and fear.
Lin Jingfeng laughed coldly, and his laughter was like icy blades that made all the people of the Xiao Clan kneel down in fear. "I didn't expect that your daughter-in-law was bold enough to lord it over the Spirit God Mountain and utter nonsense like my baby girl was disfavored by me."
"Master Jingfeng." Xiao Lin was kneeling down in the cold wind, his old body shivering, "I didn't know this little girl was your daughter, I just... "
"Oh?" Lin Jinfeng showed an icy smile and gave Xiao Lin a threatening look. "You didn't know that Xiao Bai was my daughter, so you concluded that she was the illegitimate daughter of Wei Lianye?"
Although there was a distance between him and Lin Jingfeng, Xiao Lin felt the man's voice was right beside his ear. Shaking harder, he was on all fours, as if he was trying to hide in the dust.
"Get out of here!" Lin Jingfeng shouted coldly. "I'll settle with you later."
Saying this, he turned his eyes to Lin Yue on the ground, a cruel smile appearing on his lips. "If you continue to pretend to be dead, I will make you regret it soon!"
Xiao Bai was his baby girl. He loved her so much that he wouldn't even say a harsh word to her. How dare this woman humiliate his baby girl and bullshit that he would rather pass down his power to his nephew instead of his own daughter!
Greatly frightened by his words, the unkempt Lin Yue no longer pretended to be dead, quickly got up from the ground, and kept kowtowing to him. "Please, forgive me... As long as you forgive me, I'll be at your service for my entire life."
Before when she had transferred Xiao Yuqing away with a charm, at that moment she had been determined to face her death. But who in the world was not afraid of death? Let alone that she had tried so hard to acquire her position today!
If she could survive, she didn't want to die here!
"At my service?" Lin Jingfeng lifted his chin arrogantly and gave a sneer, "Do you deserve it?"
The man's words were full of contempt, his eyes so arrogant, as if he did not put Lin Yue who looked just like a crazy woman in his eyes. Indeed, there were too many people who were desperate to be at the service of the Spirit God Mountain! Who did Lin Yue think she was?
BANG!
Lin Yue drew back a few steps, stumbled and fell to the ground. Suddenly, she burst into laughter, "Did I say anything wrong? Yes, the Spirit God Mountain is very strong, so what? You will die without any descendant! When you go to hell, how will you face your ancestors? Hahaha!"
Since she would die anyway, why not humiliate these people before she died? Seeing that Lin Jingfeng's face immediately changed, Lin Yue felt quite pleased.
.
.
.
Chapter 424:- Arrogant and Domineering (2)
The man, in her opinion, was touched in a raw spot by her words. After all, everybody in the world would want a son! Unfortunately, some people would end up dying without any descendant because they had done too many evil things in their past lives! However, Lin Yue didn't expect that Lin Jingfeng's face changed not because she said he would die without any descendant, for in his opinion, his daughter could inherit the family business as well.
He was angry with Lin Yue's attitude towards girls!
It would be fine if Lin Yue herself preferred boys over girls, but how dare she utter this nonsense in his presence?! He never thought a girl would be inferior to a boy! Thinking of this, he gave a sneer and tightly grabbed Lin Yue's neck, his face ferocious.
"You are courting death!"
Lin Yue slowly closed her eyes, a determined smile hovering on her lips. Yes, she preferred a boy to a girl, so what? That was why she strangled her own daughter on that day! Nobody knew it, including Xiao Chen...
If he knew about it, she would lose her position in the Xiao Clan, and even Xiao Yuqing's life would be utterly changed. She would also lose the only one she could depend on, Xiao Yuqing!
"Wait a minute."
Suddenly, a voice rang behind Xiao Chen. Hearing this voice, Lin Jingfeng slowly relaxed his grip on Lin Yue's neck. Under the eyes of all the people present, a gorgeous white-robed girl lightly walked to his side, a gentle smile on her lips. "Leave this woman to me. I have something to ask her."
"Okay."
Lin Jingfeng would not refuse any request of Yun Luofeng, the girl that saved his baby girl's life. Moreover, if it weren't for her 'insulting words' to him, he would not have picked himself up.
Looking at this scene, Wei Lianye curiously looked at Yun Luofeng. For some reason, he had an inkling that the relationship between Lin Jingfeng and Yun Luofeng was not as simple as he imagined. He could feel Lin Jingfeng's respect and gratitude for this girl from his words. But the girl was so young, why did Lin Jingfeng respect her so much? There must be something he didn't know...
Yun Xiao stood silently behind Yun Luofeng, leaving her to do whatever she wanted. His dark eyes followed her figure all the time, not moving away from her even a second.
"Tell me," Yun Luofeng lifted her beautiful face and looked down at Lin Yue, "where is Yun Xiao's mother?"
Lin Yue was stunned. Her eyes rolled, "I don't know."
"You don't know?" Yun Luofeng smiled and suddenly kicked hard on the chest of Lin Yue, "Do you know what kind of means I'll use on those who don't answer my question?"
Blech!
Lin Yue vomited a mouthful of blood. She rubbed her sore chest and glared angrily at Yun Luofeng. "I am Xiao Xiao's legitimate mother! If you marry him, I'll be your mother-in-law. Aren't you afraid of divine punishment doing this to me?"
Yun Luofeng trampled hard on Lin Yue's body, her eyes arrogant and domineering.
"Firstly, he belongs to the Yun Clan, adopting my surname, Yun! Secondly, you were just a concubine. How dare you have the nerve to call yourself his legitimate mother! He only has one mother, and you don't deserve to be called his mother! Thirdly, if there really was something like divine punishment in the world, why wouldn't it be directed at you? If it punishes me for a person like you, it only shows that God doesn't have eyes! If God is blind, then I'll get rid of him!"

Chapter 425:- The Mysterious Person Taking Away His Mother
With her commanding attitude, the girl was like a god, looking down at the common herd. Lin Yue's face was turning paler, she felt a burning pain in her chest, and she couldn't move her body. Whenever she moved, her bones ached so much that she couldn't help gasping in pain.
"Yun Luofeng, you will go to hell!" She gnashed her teeth and cursed word by word.
Yun Luofeng sneered, "Alas, you are not even qualified to go to hell! I'll give you one more chance, where is Yun Xiao's mother?!"
"Hmm!" Lin Yue clenched her lips, and a cold snort came from her nose. Why would she tell this woman so much information since she would die anyway? She would love to see them blindly search for that woman for their entire lives, and end up with nothing...
"It seems that you want to taste the 'Bone-shattering Pill' now," Yun Luofeng lowered her eyes, an evil look flickering across her eyes, "so I'm going to satisfy you."
Hardly had Yun Luofeng 's voice faded away when a body shattering pain immediately ran all through her body. Under the severe pain, she broke into a cold sweat and trembled all over. It was so painful that she couldn't even cry out.
"I'll tell you, I'll tell you!" Clenching her teeth, she tried really hard to spit out these words. At this moment, she finally understood why Ling Yao was so afraid of Yun Luofeng. Nobody could really bear this body-shattering pain...
"His mother... was taken away by a mysterious man. I happened to see it. Even Xiao Lin and Xiao Chen didn't know about it." As she spit out these words, the sharp pain soon disappeared. Soaked with sweat, she couldn't help but tremble as long as she recalled the sharp pain. Over the years, she kept it secret, not telling anybody about it. She didn't expect that she would be compelled to tell about it today...
"Do you know the identity of the mysterious man?" Yun Luofeng pondered and asked.
Lin Yue feebly shook her head, "I don't know. I don't even know who the mysterious man was."
At this moment, Lin Yue would not continue to lie. It seemed that she really didn't know who the mysterious man was...
She just didn't understand why the mysterious man took Yun Xiao's mother away.
"Done with this question. There is another question. Is Xiao Yuqing your real son? I've never seen a mother who would transfer her son to a place like the Forest of No Return."
Yun Xiao had narrowly escaped from the Forest of No Return, but Lin Yue thought Yun Xiao became so powerful just because he found some opportunity within the Forest of No Return, so she transferred Xiao Yuqing to the Forest of No Return via a charm.
.
.
.
Chapter 426:- Shameless Xiao Chen
Yun Luofeng just casually asked this question. After all, how would a great Family like the Xiao Family accept a person without their bloodline as a descendant?
However, hearing the question of Yun Luofeng, Lin Yue shook, a look of fear flashing through her eyes. As if trying to cover up this fear, she laughed crazily, "Hahaha, Xiao Yuqing is my own son! Are you afraid now? My son has entered the Forest of No Return, and he will surely find a great opportunity. He will definitely become more powerful than this trash. At that time, he will come back and avenge me, hahaha!"
As Lin Yue was laughing like crazy, all of a sudden she hit her own chest, and soon blood spurted out and dyed the ground red...
Yun Luofeng was stunned. She didn't expect that a person like Lin Yue would commit suicide. Was she afraid she would be compelled to tell something? Or it was because her casual question had touched on a raw spot?
So Xiao Yuqing was not her real son?
"I'll check on that." Yun Xiao, apparently aware of the doubts in Yun Luofeng's heart, slowly stepped forward, and gently put his arm around the girl's shoulder, his cold face serious.
"Okay." Yun Luofeng nodded gently. She could leave this matter to Yun Xiao, who would surely find out the truth. "Yun Xiao, how do you want to deal with the people of the Xiao Family?" Yun Luofeng nestled in the man's shoulder, a wicked smile hovering on her lips.
Yun Xiao gave a cold look at Xiao Lin and Xiao Chen and his voice was as cold as ever, "Kill them."
He paused and added, "Don't forget your promise to me." At that moment, the man gazed at her earnestly and intently with his dark eyes, as if he could see her naked body through her clothes.
Yun Luofeng's eyebrows twitched. The man was still thinking about what she had said to him with so many people present! "Yun Xiao," Yun Luofeng raised her head, and gazed at the man's handsome face, "I'll keep my promise to you." Since Yun Xiao took it seriously, she would fulfill her promise anyway, even though she just joked about it back then.
Hearing the girl's answer, Yun Xiao cracked a faint smile, and then, he turned his cold eyes to Xiao Lin and Xiao Chen, the smile soon disappearing. He would only smile to Yun Luofeng and nobody else deserved his smile!
"Xiao'er," Xiao Chen trembled and gave a hollow laugh, "I'm your father. If you kill me, people will blame you for being unfilial. You wouldn't commit such a monstrous crime, would you? Besides, your younger brother has left the Xiao Family, and you are the only eligible successor of the Xiao Family. I will give you all my fatherly love if you come back."
In Xiao Chen's opinion, he was the biological father of Yun Xiao, and this man would not be so cruel as to kill his own father! After all, if a son killed his father, he would be subject to divine punishment!
The man's face was cold and his voice was low, "I only have one family."
That person was Yun Luofeng!
"Xiao'er, I treated you badly before, but now I know I was wrong," With a stiff smile, Xiao Chen tried to speak as softly as he could, "If you come back to the Xiao Family, I'll make it up to you for my entire life."
.
.
.
Chapter 427:- Dog Eat Dog
Make it up? Hearing Xiao Chen's words, Yun Luofeng sneered, "Yun Xiao was expelled out of the Xiao Family when he was only seven and thrown into the Forest of No Return. Can you imagine how much he suffered all those years? What makes you believe you can make it up to him?"
"But..." Xiao Chen looked towards the girl who was approaching him and backed up a few steps in fear. He clenched his teeth and tried to defend himself, "It was my father who decided to expel him from the family, and it was Lin Yue who threw him into the Forest of No Return. I had nothing to do with these things. I am innocent."
Xiao Chen didn't feel any guilt saying these words. He just tried to defend himself with all possible arguments and put all the blame on others.
"You..." Xiao Lin turned to Xiao Chen angrily, his finger trembling with anger, "You didn't want him because you thought he was a trash! If it weren't for the fact that you brought Lin Yue and Xiao Yuqing home, I wouldn't have kicked him out of the family!"
Xiao Chen snorted and argued coldly, "Father, it was all your fault, I just followed your orders. Besides, I didn't intend to bring Lin Yue and Xiao Yuqing home. I brought them home because you found out that Xiao Yuqing had great talent."
Xiao Lin's face turned from blue to white, and then from white to blue, his eyes filled with raging flames, but more disappointment than distress. This was his good son who he had been taken care of for so many years! To save his own life, he would rather put all the blame on his old father!
"Father, even a spiritual beast will protect its cub. If you really treat me as your son, you should cut your throat before Xiao'er to atone for your sins! I'll bury you after you die, otherwise, you will end up not being buried!" A fierce look flashed through Xiao Chen's eyes. Every man for himself! His father's life was not as important as his own life.
As long as Yun Xiao could let him go, he wouldn't mind sacrificing his father's life!
"Hahaha!" Xiao Lin was so angry that he burst into laughter, his laughter resounding throughout the back mountain of the Xiao Family, "Look, what a good son I have! You want me to be your scapegoat? In your dreams! It was because of you that Xiao'er was kicked out of the Xiao Family! And have you forgotten how you treated his mother? If it weren't for the fact that his mother was taken away, that woman would probably be tortured to death by you!"
Xiao Chen's face greatly changed, "Bullshit! I didn't abuse her at all. Don't try to frame me."
After saying this, he turned his eyes to Yun Xiao and hurriedly explained, "Xiao'er, don't listen to this old fool's bullshit! I loved your mother, I swear to God! If it weren't for the old fool who was satisfied with Xiao Yuqing's talent and insisted on welcoming Lin Yue and Xiao Yuqing to the Xiao Family, I would not have been forced to reduce your mother to a concubine. It's all his fault. I'm innocent!"
From the very beginning, Yun Xiao did not look at the two who were biting at each other, as if it was an insult to him to even look at the two.
"Miss Yun." Seeing Yun Xiao ignored him, Xiao Chen hurriedly turned to Yun Luofeng and begged, "It's all this old fool's decision, and I'm innocent. Please plead for me. If Xiao'er can forgive me, I will do all I can to make it up to him."
Looking at Xiao Chen who was so pathetic, Wei Lianye shook his head and smiled with contempt.

Chapter 428:- Xiao Chen Has Gone Crazy
This was the personality of the Xiao Family's father and son pair.
It was truly a dog-eat-dog fight!
Yun Luofeng wickedly glanced at Xiao Chen, her pitch-black eyes bursting with a domineering light. "What if I imprisoned you for 10 years and made you encounter innumerable torments and pain in those 10 years. Then, after 10 years, I told you I would compensate you, what would you think?"
Xiao Chen's appearance turned ghastly white in an instant. He could not control himself and snarled again, "But I'm Yun Xiao's father. If he does this, he will definitely face the wrath of Heaven!"
"Is that so?" Yun Luofeng's lips turned up, and she said with a faint smile, "Then your behavior just now, wouldn't it be met even more seriously with the wrath of Heaven? At least you only gave life to Yun Xiao, but Xiao Lin, he raised you to adulthood and provided you with a generous amount of resources and an unlimited amount of glory. Yet, you repeatedly referred to him as 'Old Thing' and even wanted him to commit suicide by cutting his own throat as an apology for his offense! Wouldn't your behavior cause the wrath of heaven as well?"
Boom!
Inside Xiao Chen's head, it was as though thunder roared like an explosion, making him stagger back a few steps. He tightly clenched his fists and could not stop his heart from trembling no matter what.
Yun Luofeng coldly glanced at him, this glance had an attitude of looking down on the world, arrogant and domineering.
"I don't believe the so-called wrath of Heaven, I only believe in avenging each grievance one by one! However you treated Yun Xiao back then, now... he's merely paying it back to you!"
"No!" Xiao Chen shrieked, "I don't want to die, I don't want to die here!"
After saying this, he suddenly charged toward Lin Yue, who already lost her life long ago, and drew a long knife, ferociously stabbing her corpse.
"It's all you, if it weren't for your existence, I would never have missed a peerless genius like Xiao'er! You and Xiao Yuqing both deserve to die! If it weren't for you, I, Xiao Chen, would be the father of the magnificent Ghost Emperor, hahaha!"
He had gone completely crazy!
His head of ink-colored hair hung messily over his shoulders and his features were malevolent. As though he did not vent enough anger, he used the long knife in his hand to start dissecting the corpse in front of him.
"Xiao Bai."
Perhaps afraid that Lin Ruobai would be traumatized by this bloody scene, Lin Jingfeng hurriedly wanted to cover her eyes. But who knew that Lin Ruobai would slap his hand away and watch the bloody scene in front of her with big, bright eyes that were brimming with an excited light.
Immediately, Lin Jingfeng was stunned.
He carefully examined her, as though this was his first time getting to know his daughter.
This little girl's bones actually hid such a bloody and violent genetic trait, so much so that she would become this excited from seeing someone being dissected? That enthusiastic appearance of wanting to try it out herself made the corner of Lin Jingfeng's mouth twitch.
He solemnly instructed, "Xiao Bai, you can't do something this bloody in the future. When faced with an enemy, a one-hit kill is enough! Do you understand?"
Lin Ruobai blinked her eyes and cutely nodded. "I understand, Daddy, I'm only curious, I wouldn't do it myself..."
"As long as you understand."
Lin Jingfeng stroked Lin Ruobai's little head, and his gaze gentled. He did not wish to see his daughter becoming a psychopath who ravaged corpses for gratification!
"Hahaha!"
On the rear mountain, Xiao Chen's mad laughter echoed everywhere. His laughter was sinister and terrifying, making people shiver all over even though it was not cold.
"Dead, you are finally completely dead! Xiao Yuqing as well, if it weren't for you two, I wouldn't be reduced to this miserable state! You all deserve to die!"
Even now, Xiao Chen still did not think about what caused his current fate and continued to push the blame onto other people...
.

Chapter 429:- Anyone Who Humiliates Her, Dies!
"Yun Xiao," Yun Luofeng turned her head, facing Xiao Chen with her back. Her pitch-black eyes were like the dark sky and its stars, revealing an abyss, "I'm tired."
Her words implied that she hoped Yun Xiao would hurry and finish taking care of these people in front of them so that she could return and rest.
"Okay," Yun Xiao lightly nodded, "wait a minute for me."
When that man's cold voice was heard, the eyes of the Xiao Lin and Xiao Chen's divulged their fear. Then, two rays of light flashed and pierced into their throats.
Xiao Chen probably never imagined that Yun Xiao would actually kill his own father.
Could it be that he really did not fear the wrath of Heaven?
Even until the moment that he closed his eyes, his brain was still pondering this question...
From Yun Xiao speaking those words to the Xiao Lin and Xiao Chen meeting their end, only 20 seconds had passed, so there was still a lot of time left in the minute that he spoke of!
After disposing of the two members of the Xiao Family, the man's callous gaze turned to the group from the Ling Family again...
Ling Feng originally wanted to sneak away while everyone was not paying attention. However, he did not walk too far before meeting the man's cold gaze. His back suddenly grew stiff and sweat could not help but surface.
"Young Master Xiao," Ling Feng dryly chuckled twice, "Ling Yao and you are considered to have once had an engagement, and our Ling Family never hurt you. So, could you let me go? As long as you're willing, I can gift Yao'er to you to be your concubine."
Hearing her grandfather's words, indignance surfaced on the face of the young girl lying on the ground. She was originally Yun Xiao's fiancée, but she could only become a concubine now? If people learned of it, she would surely be ridiculed. Moreover, she did not think that Yun Luofeng's status could surpass hers!
"Brother Xiao," Ling Yao looked at Yun Xiao with tearful eyes. "I'm aware of my mistake. If you're willing to give me a chance, I'm willing to fulfill the engagement and become your wife."
At this moment, every word that Ling Yao spoke, a piercing pain would come from her body. It was evident that her injuries were not light. For Yun Xiao, she was completely ignoring her pain to say these words. However, she had clearly forgotten how Yun Xiao crippled her without any mercy just now, so why would he have any pity for her?
"Yao'er!" Ling Feng's expression shifted.
It had to be said that the current Ling Yao was already a trash, and becoming a concubine for Yun Xiao already required profuse thanks. If it weren't for their previous engagement, he would not have planned to exchange Ling Yao for the Ling Family's peace. However, it appeared that besides previously having decent innate talent, this granddaughter, Ling Yao, was completely useless in everything else and also did not have a single bit of intelligence.
"Young Master Yun Xiao, if you don't like Ling Yao, our Ling Family still has other women, I can gift them all to you to be your concubines." Ling Feng looked at Yun Xiao in an ingratiating manner. "I only beg you, please let our Ling Family off."
Because Lin Jingfeng came rather late and did not see everything that happened earlier, he naturally did not know about Yun Xiao crippling Ling Yao without any leniency. Therefore, hearing Ling Feng's words now, his eyes revealed a hint of fury, but even more prominent was worry. In this world, how many men could resist the allure of beauty? If this man could not resist the terms proposed by Ling Feng, then what would Xiao Bai's master do with herself?
Just as Lin Jingfeng was plagued with anxiety, the man's icy voice slowly rung in this rear mountain.
"The Ling Family... humiliated her."
"What?" Ling Feng started, not understanding the meaning of the man's words.
The man briefly paused before continuing to say, "Anyone who humiliates her, dies!"
.

Chapter 430:- I Will Be Waiting for You to Strip My Clothes off
Boom!
Without waiting for Ling Feng to react, a strong force suddenly attacked him from the front. It was as though a giant, invisible hand pierced into his chest and ferociously squeezed his heart into pieces. Ling Feng's entire body stiffened, and his eyes widened in disbelief, his geriatric body slowly falling to the ground.
He died with remaining grievances!
At this moment, seeing the scene of her grandfather's horrible death, Ling Yao was evidently frightened. Her mouth was wide-open, her eyes divulging her fear.
Suddenly, she felt the man's gaze land on her...
This was the first time that Yun Xiao directly looked at her, but there was an intense killing intent concealed in his gaze.
"N-no..." Ling Yao's hoarse voice carried a teary note, it was not until now that she truly experienced the taste of regret!
Then, she watched the man lift his hand...
Boom!
A terrifying force slammed into Ling Yao and her body was flung into the air, harshly falling onto the ground. Fresh, scarlet blood endlessly rushed out of her mouth, painting the lapels of her robe red.
However, this was not the end...
Under her fearful gaze, several rays of light rapidly sped toward her, gradually magnifying in front of her eyes. Immediately after, she felt a sting of pain in her chest, and her awareness began to ebb.
She opened her mouth, wanting to say something, but in the end, she closed it. However, Ling Yao's last glance at Yun Luofeng was brimming with jealousy and envy...
A man with both excellent looks and formidable strength was this loyal to her! She was the only one for him even though there were many other women in this world! A love this loyal and dependable, no matter how much some people envied it, they still could not attain it. But against all odds, this woman attained it.
If she were given another chance, she definitely would not mock and ridicule Yun Xiao during his hard times. If she did that, would this man choose her instead in the end? In her despair, Ling Yao slowly closed her eyes, and her face gradually lost its color and turned pale.
Yun Xiao slowly turned around without a trace of pity, his appearance as cold as always. "I have done what I promised you." When his gaze turned to Yun Luofeng once more, it contained a hint of warmth, and his thin lips slightly pursed as he seriously asked, "So shouldn't you fulfill your promise as well?"
Originally to him, whether the Xiao Family survived had nothing to do with him. He only came to Spirit Domain because of her words.
"Don't you plan to take a look at your Xiao Family's secret realm?" Yun Luofeng lightly raised her brows and asked with a smile on her lips.
Yun Xiao replied with a concentrated expression, "Compared with a secret realm, you're more important to me."
Meaning, compared with the Xiao Family's secret realm, stripping off Yun Luofeng's clothes was more important...
Yun Luofeng's fingers gently lifted Yun Xiao's chin up as she stood on tiptoes, her lips nearing his ear, and said in an incredibly flirtatious tone, "Alright, then I will be in the room... waiting for you to strip my clothes off."
It was as though her voice contained an extremely strong seductive power. It hit Yun Xiao's heart with a boom, causing a primitive desire to appear in his body.
"This..." Wei Lianye saw the interaction between the two and rubbed his head as he asked with uncertainty, "Are all the youth these days this open? It's completely different from our generation."
Lin Jingfeng's lips imperceptibly twitched. He did not realize that Xiao Bai's master would actually be this good at teasing men. He reckoned that not many men would be able to resist her attraction...

Chapter 431:- Lin Yue's Crime
The night was like water.
Pale moonlight streamed into the room, landing on the young girl's peerlessly beautiful face. The girl felt movements from the outside and slightly opened her eyes, and a bewitching and enthralling smile appeared on her face. Her eyes were like the starry night sky, bright and filled with seductive power, causing people to involuntarily drown in them, unable to free themselves...
"Yun Xiao." Watching the cold man entering the door, Yun Luofeng had a wide smile on her face. "How do you plan to handle the matter with Xiao Yuqing?"
Yun Xiao was silent for a moment. "Lin Qiong has returned, and Xiao Yuqing was indeed sent to the Forest of No Return. That place is too dangerous, so I summoned Lin Qiong to come back."
The entire world claimed that the Ghost Emperor was cold-hearted and just as cruel to his subordinates, but he would never permit his own subordinate to become an unnecessary sacrifice! If he had Lin Qiong head to the Forest of No Return to search for Xiao Yuqing, it would undoubtedly be pointless! What need was there to do such a thing?
"Yun Xiao, do you think Xiao Yuqing is truly Lin Yue's son?" Yun Luofeng slightly narrowed her eyes.
The more that she thought about it, the more suspicious she became. If Lin Yue was not guilty, why would she choose to commit suicide?
However...
Yun Luofeng appeared to have remembered something and continued, "I heard that only those from the Xiao bloodline can enter your Xiao Family's secret realm, so if Xiao Yuqing isn't of the Xiao bloodline, why would Lin Yue allow him to enter the secret realm without worry?"
Yun Xiao glanced at Yun Luofeng, hesitating and looking as though he was reluctant to speak.
It took a while before he made a decision and said, "There's a secret technique that allows someone to completely exchange the blood inside a person and use this to deceive the world! If Lin Yue killed her own child and exchanged Xiao Yuqing's blood with her child's, even the Xiao Family's secret realm couldn't discern the difference."
As the Xiao Family's heir, if Xiao Yuqing's identity was false, wasn't it the same as giving the Xiao Family away on a silver platter? Therefore, before Lin Yue joined the Xiao Family, Xiao Lin must have used the blood-dripping verification method to set his identity! If she wanted to achieve her goal through underhanded means, she could only turn Xiao Yuqing into the Xiao Family's direct descendant by using the secret technique to exchange two people's blood.
The hand that Yun Luofeng used to hold her teacup trembled lightly. "Are you saying that Lin Yue would kill her biological child and also exchange that child's blood with Xiao Yuqing's?"
Regardless of how vicious and merciless Lin Yue was, could she really ruthlessly kill her own child?
"I had someone investigate it just now." Yun Xiao intently looked at Yun Luofeng. "Back then, all the people who helped Lin Yue give birth to her child had an accident and died. Then, not long later, someone dug up a female baby with all its blood sucked out from a field not far away. Because nobody claimed the corpse of this female baby, it was hastily buried!"
In other words, Lin Yue killed her own daughter back then. Then, to destroy the evidence, she drained all of the blood from the baby and replaced Xiao Yuqing's blood with the baby's blood, using this to prove that he was a child of the Xiao Family!
Yun Luofeng snorted. "We allowed Lin Yue to die too easily!"
Even wild beasts looked after their young! But to attain a higher standing in life, she would murder even her own child! This sin was more than enough to make her fall into eternal hell!
Yun Xiao's expression remained cold; he tended to not possess any unnecessary feelings for unimportant people. Hence, despite the fact that Lin Yue did something like that, his face was still void of emotions.
"Before I was seven, Lin Yue lived outside, so she had plenty of space to do this and not be discovered."
.

Chapter 432:- Yun Xiao and Yun Luofeng (1)
If it was at the Xiao residence, perhaps someone would have discovered Lin Yue's actions. However, during those years, she was a kept mistress living outside, so no one would detect anything that she did! Even Lin Yue herself thought she did a flawless job, but she had no idea that many things had already betrayed her...
"Yun Xiao, we don't care about these people." Yun Luofeng slowly stood up, and a wicked smile adorned her lips. She strode to Yun Xiao's side, her breath turning heavy. "Xiao Yuqing won't cause much trouble. Now, we should fulfill our prior promise, how about it?"
Her smile was like a flower, the air slipping past her lips carrying an enticing flavor.
Yun Xiao's gaze involuntarily landed on her body, as though he could see through the thin muslin on her body and catch a glimpse of her faintly visible snow-white skin...
"Yes." Yun Xiao was very honest, his objective for coming to the Xiao residence was to strip the clothes off of the girl. Now that the critical moment had arrived, how could he get cold feet?
"Come here."
Yun Luofeng advanced toward him with a smile and slightly narrowed eyes, her beautiful, happy face was as bewitching and alluring as a purple rose. It was dangerous yet made people unable to resist getting closer to her.
"Or is it that you plan to let me help you strip first?" While saying this, the girl's hand was already on the man's lapels, her slender fingers slipping into the opening and lightly running her hands over the man's firm chest.
Swish!
Suddenly, with a lift of her hand, his upper robe was torn off by her, and his eight-pack was branded on the girl's eyes...
On top of his handsome appearance, this man had an extremely perfect figure as well! Anyone who saw abs as beautiful as this would be unable to control the primitive impulse in their heart.
Just as Yun Luofeng's hand slowly trailed down from the man's chest, he firmly grabbed ahold of her, tightly pressing her against the wall.
Yun Luofeng's eyes lightly narrowed, the smile on her breathtaking face deepening. "Yun Xiao, you were a piece of white paper in the beginning. As for me, my biggest interest was to paint a black spot on this piece of white paper to prove that you are mine. The only one in this world who can train you is me."
Yun Xiao's thin lips faintly pursed, his dark eyes gradually shifting down from the girl's collarbone, his hands gently peeling the layer of thin muslin off of her body...
Every inch of her skin was visible to the man, and she lifted her arms to hook it around his neck without a single hint of embarrassment. Her wicked smiling lips moved to beside his ears and lowly chuckled, "If you want to see, I will let you see as much as you want this time."
Her smoldering breath beat against the man's ear, carrying a sensual air that made the man's mind instantly lose its rationality. Fiery blood burst into his veins with a boom, his large hand tightly pressing on the girl as he leaned down to kiss that pair of beautiful lips...
This kiss, along with the man's domineering air, was engraved onto her lips, not dispersing for a long while.
"Feng'er..." he called in a low tone, his magnetic voice akin to a grinding stone, causing a person's heart to feel unbearable.
"Hmm?" the girl quietly responded with raised brows, her dark, smiling eyes remaining fixed on the cold man in front of her from start to end.
"I want you." This time, not only was the man's words honest, but even his body honestly reflected his heart's response.
"Yun Xiao, your kissing has improved."

Chapter 433:- Yun Xiao and Yun Luofeng (2)
The young girl provided an irrelevant response while looking at Yun Xiao with a smile. "It appears that something like technique truly needs to be practiced repeatedly. Whenever we are free from now on, we can practice frequently, what do you think?"
"Okay." He would never reject Yun Luofeng's requests, especially a suggestive proposal like this!
"Yun Xiao, when your Heaven and Spirit Method has a breakthrough again, I will give myself over to you, alright?"
Some might say that Yun Luofeng only had a favorable impression of Yun Xiao at the beginning, but the fact that she was willing to use dual cultivation to cure Yun Xiao's deranged symptoms during his breakthrough already proved that she accepted him with her whole heart and body.
If a person had a man this excellent and loyal as well as lovable and obedient beside them, not many could remain unmoved. She was the same! This man made her taste what it was like to have her heart stirred for the first time.
"For you, I will break through as fast as possible." Yun Xiao's gaze was concentrated and serious, and after saying those words, he quietly picked up the clothes from the floor and laid them over the girl's body.
She raised her brows imperceptibly. "Aren't you going to continue looking?"
"It's cold," Yun Xiao intently looked at Yun Luofeng, "I'm afraid you will catch a cold..."
"..." Yun Luofeng started, her lips unable to resist curling up when she saw the man's completely serious expression.
"Yun Xiao, I finally know why I like you," she lowly chuckled, "it's because of your foolishness and purity. To be able to retain a personality like this in the giant dye jar that is this world, it's truly too rare."
"You said that my paper had a black spot painted by you, but, in fact, that's not all. My entire paper has been completely painted black by you." Yun Xiao's gaze remained serious and earnest. "However, I only permit you alone to paint other colors onto my paper."
For the rest of his life, the only woman that he wanted was her!
Hence, he only permitted her to paint the piece of white paper that represented his love life black.
" Ah Xiao." Yun Luofeng's fingers raised his chin, and she stood on her tiptoes to press a light kiss against his lips. "I will wait until your breakthrough with the Heaven and Spirit Method. At that time, I will hand a complete me over to you."
After saying this, her hand slowly fell on the man's chest, wanting to gently push his body away, but just as her hand touched his chest, he suddenly pulled her into his arms, his lips descending again.
Beside her ear was the man's rough voice, "You said you wanted to practice kissing technique with me. We will continue to practice now."
...
Outside the door, Lin Ruobai, who originally came here to find Yun Luofeng, accidentally heard the activity inside the room. She quickly retracted the hand that she just extended to push the door open and hurriedly covered her eyes.
"See no evil, see no evil..."
"Xiao Bai, what are you doing?" Suddenly, a pleasant, masculine voice came from behind her, causing her to jump in surprise. She quickly turned her head and placed her fingers against her lips, making a shushing motion.
"Daddy, Master and Master's lover are making a child right now, we shouldn't bother them."
Through the thin veil on the window, she could faintly see the two people kissing inside the room, and according to the descriptions in the Chungong Tu, the next step should be child creating!
As soon as she thought of that embarrassing scene, Lin Ruobai's face turned thoroughly red.
Thank goodness that she stopped in time and did not enter, otherwise, with Master's partner's personality, he would definitely chop her into pieces.
.

Chapter 434:- Grieving Lin Jingfeng
"How do you know about child making?" Lin Jingfeng asked as he glanced at his own daughter with suspicion.
Lin Ruobai cutely blinked. "This is how it's written in the Chungong Tu, is it incorrect?"
"Chungong Tu?" Upon hearing these words, Lin Jingfeng immediately exploded, all of the hair on his head stood on its end, and he stared at her with widened eyes. "What did you just say? You've actually seen something like a Chungong Tu?"
Could it be that his own daughter was starting to yearn for love?
Thinking of this, Lin Jingfeng's entire body felt unwell and incredibly heartbroken, and his look of despair was as though his own wife ran off with someone else.
For all these years, he had never thought about the fact that his daughter would eventually marry someone. To him, his daughter was still young and should stick by her father's side instead of being the wife of some bastard. Even if his daughter had to marry, it would still be something several years down the line. He did not realize that she would yearn for love this quickly. How could that be possible? This was no different from sticking a knife into his heart.
"Xiao Bai," Lin Jingfeng hurriedly steadied his tumultuous heart, his hands firming pressing on Lin Ruobai's shoulders, and looked at her seriously and intently, "you are still young right now, only 13 years old! You're only allowed to look at Chungong Tu when you're an adult!"
"But..." Lin Ruobai pursed her lips, "Master is only two years older than me, and she can already create children with her lover, so why can't I look at Chungong Tu?"
"This..." Lin Jingfeng was rendered speechless, his eyes shifting a few times before saying, "you already said that your master is two years older than you, so you're still too young. Wait at least two years before learning these things, you still aren't permitted now."
"Fine," Lin Ruobai pouted in resentment, "I won't look at it from now on."
Worst comes to worst, she would have Master bring her to visit the brothel. She heard that you can see a live version of Chungong Tu there, so much more interesting than the drawings...
As for why she did not dare to watch Yun Luofeng and Yun Xiao's Chungong Tu, that was because she did not have the guts to offend Master's lover. Otherwise, she had no clue where he would toss her to and if she did not see Master ever again, who would she cry to then?
"Good daughter, tell Daddy, who gave you that Chungong Tu?" asked Lin Jingfeng with a much gentler tone.
"Xiao Yue was looking at it in secret, and I discovered him, so I snatched it from him. After looking at it, I found it quite interesting, so I kept it."
Xiao Yue?
A berserk fury tore out of Lin Jingfeng's body, and, with his back facing the dark sky, he coldly ordered, "Someone, toss that punk into the Nest of Devils for punishment! Actually giving something like this to Miss to look at!"
In the darkness, a shadow cupped his fists in salute and disappeared in the neverending night sky in the blink of an eye...
Nest of Devils was the most dangerous location in the Spirit God Mountain! Supposedly, people who were tossed into the Nest of Devil could not come out without being seriously injured! Hence, the fury that currently resided in Lin Jingfeng's heart could be imagined.
Seeing her father's belligerent appearance, Lin Ruobai did not dare to utter another word and also became annoyed. If she knew this would happen, she should not have told him about the Chungong Tu!
"Daddy, it's already late, so I'll go back and rest first," Lin Ruobai quickly shifted the topic, "Right, definitely don't go and disturb Master and her lover! Master's lover is truly too scary, not only is he strong, but he also doesn't have too good of a temper. Only Master can tame him."
Unless he was in Yun Luofeng's presence, Yun Xiao did not have a pleasant attitude and was perpetually expressionless.

Chapter 435:- Going Home (1)
In the simple yet elegant room, perhaps because the man heard the commotion outside, his sword-like brows lightly knitted, and a cold light flashed through his black eyes.
At this moment, the young girl's wicked voice drifted to his ears, gradually smoothing his features, "Don't mind them, let's continue..."
"Alright."
Their bodies tightly melded together as they closely embraced each other. They kissed from the wall onto the bed, the entire room instantly filling with a sensual air...
—
Next day, daybreak.
On the rear mountain of Xiao residence, quite a few people gathered in a circle. With a single glance, Wei Lianye recognized the handsome man and beautiful girl walking toward him, and his eyes filled with admiration.
"You came?"
Yun Luofeng imperceptibly nodded. "Has everyone who possesses the power of the pure Xiao Family blood arrived?"
"Miss Yun, you're planning to let him enter the secret realm?" Astonishment entered Wei Lianye's eyes. "I heard that only cultivators below sky-level can enter this Xiao Family secret realm. It appears to me that Yun Xiao's ability has long since reached sky-level spirit cultivator, perhaps even higher than that, am I right?"
Yun Xiao's eyes coldly glanced at Wei Lianye as he icily stated, "I can control my aura to be below sky-level cultivator."
Which meant that this constraint of the Xiao Family's secret realm did not trouble him at all.
"Hoho," Wei Lianye chuckled in embarrassment, "great then. However, after entering this secret realm, you won't be able to come out for some time."
Yun Xiao grew silent. After a moment, he turned to look at Yun Luofeng. "Go back to the Yun residence and wait for me."
It was only when she returned to the Yun Estate could he enter this secret realm without worry.
"Alright, I will wait for you at the Yun Estate."
Her objective for coming here was to look for Yun Xiao, and since she had found him, it was also time for her to go back! She originally thought that her trip to Spirit Domain would take at least half a year, but she unexpectedly finished taking care of everything in only a few months.
This trip was unimaginably smooth!
Yun Xiao took one last glance of Yun Luofeng before his cold gaze swept past the members of the Xiao Family that he intentionally kept behind, and he icily stated, "Go and open the Xiao Family secret realm now!"
The secret realm of the Xiao Family could only be entered by members of the Xiao Family! And the strength of those entering could not surpass sky-level spirit cultivator! Thankfully, Yun Xiao could control his aura and successfully deceive the secret realm.
Currently, he could only protect her if he possessed enough power!
"Miss Yun," Lin Jingfeng faintly smiled, "I will leave this daughter of mine in your hands. Please be sure to discipline her well; she's too unruly and mischievous and lacks sensibilities. I'll trouble you to take her away."
Although he said all these things, in Lin Jingfeng's heart, his daughter would always be his most precious treasure, an existence more important than his life!
"Then we will set off now," said Yun Luofeng after a brief pause.
"Yes, Master."
Lin Ruobai happily walked to stand beside Yun Luofeng and lightly blinked her brightly shining eyes. "Master, are we heading to your hometown now? Is it fun there?"
"You will see when you get there." Yun Luofeng did not say anything more. She retracted her lingering sight from Yun Xiao's figure, and her lips raised in a languid smile. "It's quite late, let's go."
After saying this, she did not glance at Yun Xiao another time and headed down the mountain. Yun Luofeng could clearly feel a gaze from behind that followed her until she left there...
