Chapter 210: Rumors of Annihilation
After settling the people of both peaks for the time being, they immediately began taking on sect missions.
Fei Jin personally took action, setting up teleportation arrays across various peaks and locations.
Not only that, as an independent cultivator who had traveled widely, Fei Jin had been to many places.
After discussing with Xiao Shou, he even arranged multiple one-way teleportation arrays on the main peak leading to important locations, such as outside major sect markets and outside large cities.
After finishing all this, the contribution points he earned from his disciples were just enough to exchange for one spirit treasure and several magical artifacts, which made him extremely happy.
After the Gou family arrived, the entire Eternal Prosperity Sect entered a period of intense activity.
The construction of each peak could not be neglected either.
People from aristocratic families like the Gou family were not accustomed to simple living environments.
After about a month of such busy work, things were mostly settled.
Finally having some free time, Gou Guangming immediately took Gou Zhi out to wander around.
However, just a few hours later, he rushed back in panic and flew to Eternal Spirit Stone Peak and reporting to Fu Young who was still busy with work.
"Senior Brother, I heard that the Mao family, the Mao family..."
"The Mao family? What about them?" Fu Young asked, his gaze as dark and deep as an abyss casually falling on Gou Guangming.
That gaze made Gou Guangming shiver all over. He quickly said, "Today I went into the city and heard that one of the three great families of Azure Origin City, from the main branch to all collateral branches, was completely reduced to ruins half a month ago. Not a single Mao family member can be found."
"So what?" Xiao Shou said indifferently. "Things with no value for existence disappearing is normal. No need to care about it."
After speaking, he continued engraving jade slips and added, "Don’t mention such unimportant matters to my master."
When Gou Guangming heard this, his body trembled all over.
Could it be that the male protagonist had destroyed the entire minor boss’s clan?
That was one of the three great families.
There were over twenty old monsters who had suppressed their cultivation and refused to ascend, all at the peak of Deity Transformation and Nascent Soul.
With so many Mao family members, such a massacre would definitely have alarmed the city guards.
And if he remembered correctly, the male protagonist’s cultivation should only be at the early Nascent Soul stage.
Wait, early stage?
Wasn’t he at late Nascent Soul just a while ago? How did he drop back to early stage?
Could it really be that the male protagonist took action and paid the price of cultivation regression to wipe out the Mao family completely?
He had gone to the site himself.
It had truly been flattened to nothing, leaving only a pale empty ground with nothing else remaining.
If it was the same red vortex that appeared on the day of the heavenly tribulation... then it really might be possible.
"Do you still have something to say?" Fu Young glanced at Gou Guangming briefly.
That single glance made Gou Guangming’s entire body erupt in goosebumps.
Every nerve in his body was screaming at him to leave immediately.
If this really was the male protagonist, then his current level of brutality was beyond imagination.
Realizing this, Gou Guangming quickly said, "No, nothing. I just came to report. I’ll leave now."
Fu Young watched Gou Guangming’s departing figure and looked at his own hand, letting out a cold laugh.
"So it really is that the more destruction, the stronger you become? I’m already at third rotation now. I should go see Master. I miss him again."
...
"Ah! That scary person is here again. Master, save me!"
The cute little spirit panicked and flew circles around Xiao Shou.
Xiao Shou who was currently drafting a design facepalmed helplessly and said, "Yaoyao, he’s not a scary or suspicious person. He is my only disciple. You can treat him as another master. How many times have I said this? Young’er has never hurt you. Why do you always call for help?"
"Master, I’m being disliked again!" Fu Young leaned closer to Xiao Shou and complained in a wronged tone.
His eyes, however, glared fiercely at the little spirit when Xiao Shou was not looking.
Seeing his disciple looking aggrieved, Xiao Shou sighed.
"Yaoyao."
"Master, ever since I woke up a little over a month ago, you don’t love me anymore. You only love your disciple now. I am delicate and cute... I am understanding... I am better than your disciple in every way. If you keep liking him more than me, I will run away from home!"
Yao Heng wiped tears with a tiny handkerchief, sobbing while occasionally sneaking glances at Xiao Shou.
Ugh.
What should I do when my disciple and my spirit pet never get along?
Xiao Shou looked at the crying Yao Heng, then at the even more wronged Fu Young, he helplessly pressed his forehead.
"Yaoyao, you should go fertilize the Ice Heart Tree."
"Ah! I almost forgot!"
Yao Heng screamed, instantly stopped crying, it casually threw away the handkerchief, and immediately entered its own spatial realm to tend to its planted spiritual crops.
Seeing it leave, Xiao Shou finally relaxed.
He then tapped Fu Young’s forehead lightly and said affectionately, "Arguing with a child like this, when will you ever grow up?"
"Heh. It’s Master fault for choosing such a troublesome spirit pet. Why don’t you just cancel the contract with it? I can find you a better one for you." Fu Young said while leaning closer, clearly enjoying the warmth of his master’s touch and unwilling to move away.
He deliberately used the same clingy tone he had as a child, sounding almost like he was acting spoiled.
However, he knew very well that Xiao Shou would never indulge this kind of complaint.
And as expected.
