Chapter 1385: Chapter 1419: The Xiao Family and the Mu Family Turn Against Each Other

”Uncle Mu, if I’m not mistaken, you must have secretly investigated my identity, right?” Lin Zifeng said with a smile.

”...”

Mu Cangtian’s old face flushed with embarrassment. Indeed, the last time Lin Zifeng caused a commotion at the Mu Family, he did investigate Lin Zifeng’s identity.

Later, he also heard about the Nantian Gang invading Dragon City and annihilating the Long Family.

Today, Lin Zifeng violently beat Xiao Changsheng. He played both sides, hoping to catch the big fish that is Lin Zifeng.

How could he not know about the Nantian Gang’s dominance in Zhonghai?

Mu Yang shot a glance at her father without saying a word.

”The influence of the Nantian Gang spreads throughout the entire Zhonghai, and our intention is also to invade Dragon City, hoping to establish a foothold there. But I also heard about the rules of Dragon City, which makes many things inconvenient. Our Nantian Gang’s forces faced severe resistance when infiltrating Dragon City. I won’t hide it from you; our Nantian Gang has secretly befriended the Beiming Family. If you, Uncle Mu, nod in agreement, perhaps we can rise again on the land of Dragon City!”

”Can what you say be true!”

Mu Cangtian was immediately tempted.

The dream of reviving the Mu Family, which has been declining for decades, was his ideal for many years.

However, fate is not kind. This day came truly too late.

Even if it was just a glimmer of hope, even if it was merely hearing words about reviving the Mu Family, he felt it was like a dream he had always longed for!

”With heaven as my witness, if I, Lin Zifeng, speak a single false word, may I be struck by five lightning bolts!” Lin Zifeng raised his finger toward the sky, earnestly declaring.

”Alright! I agree with you. Even if it’s just a dream, I, Mu Cangtian, feel it’s worth it. Let this dream not end! You provided me with the opportunity to dream!”

Mu Yang hadn’t seen her father, who was usually so dignified, show such a smile for many years.

Immediately, her joyful gaze once again fell on Lin Zifeng.

”Hahaha... How many years has it been? How many years? At last, I, this old man, have seen hope. Finally, I have seen hope!”

Mu Liancheng laughed heartily, the knot in his son’s heart was also his knot. There would no longer be a need for Mu Yang to partake in arranged marriages.

”Cough, cough...” However, after Mu Liancheng laughed a few times, he suddenly vomited a mouthful of reverse blood from his throat.

”Grandpa!”

”Dad!”

Mu Yang turned pale with fright and quickly stepped forward to support Mu Liancheng’s frail body.

”Let me take a look.” Lin Zifeng stepped forward and activated his X-ray vision, and two flashes of red light swiftly crossed his sharp eyes...

In Lin Zifeng’s eyes, a thick black column of air about the size of an adult’s arm floated above Mu Liancheng’s head, growing increasingly solid, almost tangible. Especially, all his muscles and tissues had aged into stiffness, emitting a morbid aura.

Under the X-ray vision, his tissues emitted a lifeless grey aura, surrounded by thick black smoke.

Lin Zifeng was silent.

This was the first time he was at a loss when facing a patient after acquiring the X-ray vision’s healing ability.

In his eyes, Mu Liancheng’s body was already wrecked, and not even the gods could save him now.

Unless he was given a complete, young body anew; otherwise, he wouldn’t be able to survive...

”How is it? Is there still hope for my grandfather?” Mu Yang asked anxiously, furrowing her brows.

Lin Zifeng shook his head, sighed, and expressionlessly said, ”Nothing poisons more than time itself. No one and nothing can withstand the ravages of time. Elder Mu’s body has already reached its twilight years, with all bodily functions at their limit. If not for Elder Mu’s high cultivation, he would have passed away long ago...”

”You mean...”

Upon hearing Lin Zifeng’s words, Mu Cangtian finally understood, like being struck by lightning, feeling as if his last ounce of strength had been drained away.

Previously, he never paid attention to his father’s health, but at this moment, a vision of his father’s imminent demise floated in Mu Cangtian’s mind, and tears streamed down his face uncontrollably.

”Father! I’m sorry, it’s my fault for letting you worry all these years, but... I neglected your presence.”

Mu Cangtian suddenly knelt down on the hard ground.

A real man kneels to heaven, to earth, and to his parents!

”Everyone eventually faces death, either weightier than Tai Mountain or lighter than a feather. My death might not compare to Tai Mountain, but it’s not as light as a feather. As long as you are well, I am content.” Mu Liancheng’s face was ashen, but as a father, he still bore a smile.

At this moment, Lin Zifeng was also moved.

He recalled how rebellious he was back then, how he had hurt his parents.

But when they were truly no longer by his side, he understood what kind of love that was.

(Readers, please pay attention to your parents’ hearts and don’t let them worry about you.)

”No! I won’t let you die!”

Mu Cangtian cried out in anguish.

He supported the extremely weak Mu Liancheng back to his room.

However, as Mu Cangtian supported Mu Liancheng back into the room, Lin Zifeng’s sharp eyebrows suddenly knit together.

Suddenly, an unpleasant feeling surged within him.

The Magic Bracelet started to pulsate irregularly again.

”Head of the Mu Family, please come here for a moment. I want to discuss something with you.”

”What is it?”

”They’ve come,” Lin Zifeng said in a deep voice.

Mu Cangtian’s face changed dramatically, ”They? The Xiao Family has come so quickly?”

”Yes,” Lin Zifeng nodded. With the Magic Bracelet’s pulsating pattern, Lin Zifeng had already grasped it.

And this time, a powerful aura approached.

At least it’s an expert in the King Realm. In the entire Dragon City, only the head of the Xiao Family or some experts from the Xiao Family could reach the King Realm.

However, this energy fluctuation seemed much stronger than usual experts, so Lin Zifeng speculated it was probably the head of the Xiao Family.

”I estimate it’s the head of the Xiao Family visiting.” Lin Zifeng said.

”Not good! If it truly is the head of the Xiao Family, today’s matter will drastically change!”

Mu Cangtian knew the inner workings of the Xiao Family; the real head of the Xiao Family had been in seclusion for a long time.

All matters in the Xiao Family were currently overseen by that female head of the family.

Just now, Lin Zifeng fiercely beat Xiao Changsheng, so the visitor this time was likely Xiao Changsheng’s biological mother, Jin Chixia!

”Beat the young one, here comes the old one,” Lin Zifeng chuckled.

”Yang’er, you first take your grandfather inside, and don’t come out no matter what happens later on. Do you understand?”

Mu Cangtian understood the gravity of the situation; failing to cement ties with the Xiao Family meant inevitable enmity. With Jin Chixia coming, the matter had already escalated.

Even Mu Cangtian knew well that if members of the Xiao Family came to propose marriage and were beaten up, he would also come to interrogate.

”Mm...” Mu Yang nodded and hurriedly took Mu Liancheng back to the room.

Then, Lin Zifeng took the lead, walking out of the Mu Family, followed by Mu Cangtian and some remaining family guard experts toward the patch of forest in front of the Mu Family grounds...
