In the Ming Cult, Wu Hai and Su Mu sat in the main hall.
Wu Hai, with his fiery temper, couldn't sit still and would pace back and forth in the main hall every now and then.
Su Mu was extremely annoyed by his actions and looked towards the door: "If the two of them succeed, they will definitely come back soon, so you don't need to worry."
When Wu Hai heard Su Mu's words, he sneered: "Don't tell me you don't know the strength of that Golden-Winged Bird."
It was only thanks to the good fortune of Xiao Feng and Su Xueqing that they didn't encounter any powerful figures from the Crimson Flame Sect that they were able to return safely.
If they encounter a powerful opponent over there, it will likely become a luxury for the two of them to return.
Seeing that Wu Hai had almost no hope for them, Su Mu walked up to him and said, "Xiao Feng is, after all, your personal disciple. You should trust him."
The other Ming Cult elders nodded in agreement; they were all happy to believe in Xiao Feng.
"Report..."
Disciples rushed in through the door, their faces beaming with joy.
Seeing his disciple's expression, Su Mu nodded to him: "There are no outsiders here, so please speak freely."
Wu Hai understood that his identity was still not recognized, after all, he had the entire Poison Sect behind him.
The disciple turned to look at the doorway: "Miss and Xiao Feng are back."
When Su Mu and Wu Hai learned that the two had returned, they took two steps forward almost simultaneously: "Quick, let them in."
The words had barely faded when Xiao Feng and Su Xueqing strode in from the doorway.
Judging from their appearance, they had obviously eaten a lot of good food along the way.
Poison King Wu Hai darted to Xiao Feng's side: "Good disciple, I thought you had died out there."
Rarely did anyone from the upper realm show him any concern, so he quickly cupped his hands in greeting to Wu Hai: "I'm not that easy to die."
Looking around, I saw that all the elders were there, which put my mind at ease.
He didn't care about the lives or deaths of those righteous people, since he had no connection with them whatsoever.
Seeing Wu Hai's reserved demeanor, Xiao Feng found the man somewhat endearing.
"How did your dealings with those righteous people go?"
When Wu Hai heard him ask such a question, he burst out laughing: "It's so easy, the person died without even seeing my face."
The Poison King's techniques are all poisonous, and those righteous people simply have no way to resist him.
Beside him, the Ming Cult elder, seeing Wu Hai boasting about his prowess, stood up and said, "With the Poison Emperor in action, those righteous people are no match for him."
Seeing that the two had met, Wu Hai stopped pretending with Xiao Feng and grabbed him with his hand: "Come on, let's go practice. I found a lot of good things for you."
Seeing that Wu Hai wanted to pull him away, Xiao Feng chuckled and said, "I haven't handed over the task assigned to me to Leader Su yet, so I can't leave."
This trip was for the Golden-Winged Bird; if they left now, news of their mission failure would likely spread.
When Wu Hai learned that Xiao Feng and Su Xueqing had actually killed the Golden-Winged Bird, his face lit up with ecstatic joy: "You two didn't actually kill that bird, did you?"
Their strength was not enough to make them take that thing seriously, and the Poison King had even forgotten what it was called.
Xiao Feng nodded slightly: "That's right, the Golden-Winged Bird did indeed die at our hands."
Beside them, Su Xueqing, worried that Su Mu would blame the two, quickly stepped forward and said, "We killed the Golden-Winged Bird, so the mission still failed."
Their mission was to capture the Golden-Winged Bird, but the bird actually died at Xiao Feng's hands.
When Su Mu learned that the two had killed the golden-winged bird, he said with a helpless expression, "Sigh, it was indeed a bit difficult for you to do this task."
He waved to the two of them, seemingly wanting them to go back and rest.
Seeing Su Mu's disappointed expression, Xiao Feng gently stroked the end with his palm.
The golden-winged bird's primordial spirit appeared out of thin air. When it saw that the entire arena was full of powerful figures, its face was filled with fear.
"Haha, you actually caught the Golden-Winged Bird's primordial spirit, kid."
Beside him, Su Xueqing strode up to Xiao Feng, her face filled with disbelief: "When did you make your move? Why didn't even I know?"
She didn't see Xiao Feng make a move at all and mistakenly thought that the Golden-Winged Bird had died at the hands of the two of them long ago.
"The final sword strike killed him, and incidentally, his primordial spirit was stored in the ring."
The whole process happens in the blink of an eye, so it's normal that you didn't see it.
Seeing that Xiao Feng had made such a contribution to the Ming Cult, Wu Hai walked up to Su Mu and asked, "Can we leave now?"
Su Mu understood that Wu Hai was eager to impart his skills to Xiao Feng, so he waved his hand and said, "You can leave now. This is none of your business."
As the two of them left, Su Xueqing, looking exhausted, walked up to Su Mu and said, "Then I'll take my leave too."
Seeing that Su Xueqing was about to leave, Su Mu's face gradually turned colder.
"Wait, I have something to tell you."
Upon hearing Su Mu's words, Su Xueqing looked at him with surprise, completely baffled as to what he meant.
"Don't go back to the Palace of Bliss anymore. I've already sent people to destroy that palace."
Upon hearing this, Su Xueqing's eyes widened suddenly: "What did you say? What gives you the right to destroy the Palace of Bliss?"
That place was her life's work, and she couldn't understand why Su Mu would take action against the Palace of Bliss.
Fortunately, Xiao Feng wasn't there, otherwise he would definitely be worried about Jing Shen's safety.
Since the two arrived in the Upper Realm, Jing Shen has lost contact, and no one knows where he is.
Seeing that Su Xueqing had actually turned against him over the matter of the Palace of Bliss, Su Mu slammed his hand hard on the table.
“You’re clearly one of our Ming Cult members, so why are you going to that Palace of Bliss to be some kind of Holy Maiden? From now on, you’ll stay here obediently.”
No one could control his temper, and Su Xueqing knew that nothing she said would make a difference.
Taking a deep breath, he said, "I just hope you don't have any ill feelings towards Xiao Feng, otherwise... I wouldn't mind leaving the Ming Cult."
She had the ability to establish the Palace of Bliss once, and naturally she had the ability to establish it a second time.
Seeing Su Xueqing's expression, Su Mu understood just how stubborn she was.
Compared to them, Xiao Feng and Wu Hai's side seemed much more harmonious.
Wu Hai took out the secret manual from inside his clothes and respectfully placed it in front of Xiao Feng.
"These secret manuals are all closely guarded secrets of our Poison Sect, and now I'm handing them all over to you."
He had already regarded Xiao Feng as the next successor of the Poison Sect, and even went so far as to reveal these closely guarded secrets in an attempt to keep him by his side.
Xiao Feng looked at the manual in his hand and waved his hands repeatedly: "This...this is all your secret, you can't do this."
"Do you perhaps look down on our Poison Sect?"
Unbeknownst to him, his spiritual power had become tainted with a faint toxin.
If he didn't cultivate these poison techniques, he would have wasted all the toxins in his body.
Seeing Wu Hai's expectant look, Xiao Feng had no choice but to accept the manual and settle down to cultivate in the Ming Cult for a full month.
