Lu Wenxing's restless nature meant he couldn't stand still for a while.
After completing the task, he wandered around, looking at every corner.
Shi Xuan stood still, watching him dart around, and said to Lu Shenzhi, "Senior Brother, I don't think things are that simple."
Lu Shenzhi nodded.
“Luo Qin is not yet thirty years old, and the second son’s father is obviously much older. Cultivators in the cultivation world generally have few children, but Xin Shi is quite prolific, and it’s uncertain how many sons he has.”
"What if you have a purpose?" Shi Xuan asked. "For example, do you want to have a descendant like the Second Senior Brother?"
Lu Shenzhi frowned: "If that's the case, his purpose in bringing the second brother here is probably not simple..."
"Then we'll have to see what Second Senior Brother has that he desperately wants, like that demon core? Or perhaps some inheritance he obtained in the outer realms?"
“Or perhaps, there’s his unique bloodline power,” Lu Shenzhi added.
Lu Wenxing's talent is unmatched in the entire cultivation world. Even when he had only a single fire spiritual root, he was already exceptionally talented. After awakening his twin spiritual roots, his strength not only did not decrease but increased. In addition, with the inheritance and demon core he later obtained, he could achieve results that others could only dream of with ease.
Compared to Lu Wenxing, Xin Shi, as Xin Yao's son, received neither the inheritance nor the demon core. If he hadn't known, that would have been one thing, but he actually found the inheritance site, while I was unable to activate it.
Shi Xuan puts himself in the shoes of Xin Shi, who dared to kill his father for power. What he couldn't have was taken away by his grandson. Would he feel happy or angry?
The answer is obvious.
They wouldn't even spare their own father, let alone a grandson they'd barely met.
Therefore, this time, his attempt to lure Lu Wenxing was definitely not for any good reason.
Shi Xuan called Lu Wenxing back, analyzed the things he had thought of earlier with him, and warned him that if he encountered similar illusions or was lured to strange places in the future, he should not fall for them. Just like last time, he should simply break them apart.
Lu Wenxing was delighted and happily agreed.
By this time, the Crescent Moon Secret Realm had been completely explored by them.
Shi Xuan shamelessly asked Hong Chi and the others again if they had left anything behind.
After receiving a barrage of cold snorts and negative replies, he finally headed back home with his two senior brothers.
Shi Mingxiu originally thought that they wouldn't gain much from going to the Crescent Moon Secret Realm, but the reality was quite different from what he had imagined.
In less than twenty days, Shi Xuan returned, and what's worse, she actually made a new discovery.
Shi Mingxiu had some doubts about whether there was something wrong with their previous operation of turning the Crescent Moon Secret Realm upside down.
They practically dug three feet into the ground, but in the end they found nothing. Shi Xuan, however, made such a significant discovery just a few days after he arrived.
She even captured a high-level cultivator in the Void Refinement Realm!
When Xuan threw Pang Jiaxiang out, Shi Mingxiu and Lin Daozi were both stunned.
Pang Jiaxiang, as the former peak master of the Luoyin Sect, was very familiar with them. They had tried to capture him twice in the Luoyin Sect, but he escaped both times.
How did Shi Xuan, a Nascent Soul cultivator, manage to capture Pang Jiaxiang?
This is absolutely incredible!
When Pang Jiaxiang was tied up and thrown to the ground, he looked up and saw Shi Mingxiu and Lin Daozi. He wished he could dig a hole and crawl into it.
They were once cultivators of the same generation, each appearing peaceful on the surface, but in private they inevitably compared themselves to one another.
He was once quite respected among these people. Although he later betrayed his sect, his cultivation level was enough to allow him to maintain his inner balance.
But now, he was like a prisoner, bound and thrown on the ground, while the two men who had once called him brother looked down at him from above, making him feel a deep sense of shame for no reason.
"Pang Jiaxiang, did you ever imagine this day would come?" Shi Mingxiu asked. For such degenerate righteous disciples, their fate was already sealed.
This question was too insulting to Pang Jiaxiang.
He really wanted to say firmly, "Kill me or torture me, it's up to you," but the words just wouldn't come out.
He had a dark expression and didn't say a word.
At this moment, as a prisoner, he was at the mercy of others, but he still held onto a sliver of hope. As long as he could survive, nothing else mattered.
As long as the green hills remain, there will always be firewood to burn.
"Sigh," Lin Daozi sighed. This person used to have a very good relationship with him, but he never expected that he would eventually go down such a wrong path.
"Now that the mistakes you've made are clear, you should think about how to lessen your sins."
Pang Jiaxiang looked up at Lin Daozi and replied, "What good will it do? Does it mean I can escape death?"
He actually had little chance of survival. When he was in the Luoyin Sect, he led all the disciples of his peak down the wrong path, killing many righteous people and causing a lot of trouble with spirits.
Pang Jiaxiang knew the Five Sects' style of doing things well, and he now only had a sliver of hope.
Previously, they betrayed their sect to gain more power; now, they can betray the [New Generation] just as easily to survive.
However, he won't budge until he makes a promise.
Who is Shi Mingxiu? After so many years as the sect leader, he only needed to say one sentence to know what he was thinking.
He gave Pang Jiaxiang a deep look; he was indeed a selfish man.
But his life or death is of no importance to the entire cultivation world. However, the [New Life] group is constantly operating in the shadows, and too many innocent lives have already been lost because of it.
If it cannot be eradicated, the losses to the cultivation world will likely be even greater.
Thinking of this, Shi Mingzheng said with a serious expression, "I can guarantee your survival. On the condition that you assist the Five Sects in completely eradicating the [New Life] organization."
Pang Jiaxiang's eyes flickered; he hadn't expected Shi Mingxiu to give in so quickly.
He carefully observed Shi Mingxiu's expression, seemingly trying to ascertain the truthfulness of his words.
Shi Mingxiu's face was solemn, and his expression was full of contempt as he looked at him, but Pang Jiaxiang knew that the matter was settled.
"You can't cripple my cultivation either," he demanded, pushing his luck further.
Shi Mingxiu looked into his eyes and nodded.
"The premise is that the [Newborn] organization can be completely eliminated."
If the new life is destroyed, he is only one person, a mere Void Refinement Realm cultivator, so he won't cause any major trouble.
Pang Jia seemed relieved and said, "Don't worry, I've been involved with [New Life] for many years, and I know their affairs best. I know where Xin Shi is now, and I also know how many hideouts they have. As long as you listen to me this time, [New Life] will be destroyed."
His expression looked very confident.
Shi Mingxiu, however, seemed to be seeing him for the first time. This Pang Jiaxiang had so easily betrayed the Luoyin Sect. And now, he was so casually discarding the [New Life] he had cultivated for so many years.
That's terrifying.
