Chapter 294: Trace of Ming Huang's Origin

Gourd Village, located in Sky Gem Mountain, was a small mountain village in the Azure Leaf Continent, and it was also the birthplace of Ming Huang.

With the Supreme Virtual Art, both Mo Xiu and Ming Huang were not hindered, and they flew all the way. After a few days, they finally entered Sky Gem Mountain and came to Gourd Village.

There were a total of more than 20 households in Gourd Village, with a population of over a hundred.

According to Ming Huang, because there was a group of bandits nearby, every household practiced cultivation and martial techniques. Even elderly old women had a certain amount of strength.

Of course, this certain amount of strength was only for the people in the village. For people like Mo Xiu who could razor a mountain to the ground with a flip of his hand, there was no difference with such a little strength.

For this kind of small mountain village that infested by bandits nearby, it was unrealistic to say how simple its folk customs were, but the people in the village were still very enthusiastic about their own people.

Ming Huang was their own people to them, and Mo Xiu, as Ming Huang's master, could naturally be classified into their own category by them.

After learning that Ming Huang had returned to the village, many villagers came out to greet him.

After knowing that Mo Xiu was Ming Huang's master and an elder of the Everlasting Sword Sect, Ming Huang's parents and relatives, as well as other villagers, became even more enthusiastic.

There were also many people desperately trying to perform in front of Mo Xiu, hoping to be accepted as apprentices by Mo Xiu. As a result, they fought each other as if they would be able to be caught by Mo Xiu in this way.

Fortunately, this kind of big fight had the nature of performance, not a life-and-death duel.

Originally, Mo Xiu was looking forward to coming to Gourd Village, because there might be people who had Phoenix blood like Ming Huang. Even the thin Phoenix blood was worth his visit.

However, after coming to Gourd Village, he was disappointed.

No matter whether Ming Huang's parents or brothers or sisters, overall, no other relatives of Ming Huang had Phoenix blood, let alone other people in the village.

What's more, he didn't even see anyone with special potential, which was equivalent to coming here for nothing.

"Master, what's wrong?" Ming Huang noticed the subtle change in Mo Xiu's eyes and couldn't help but ask.

Mo Xiu was already in Ming Huang's house at this time. Except for Mo Xiu, only Ming Huang's family members were left.

However, Ming Huang's family members were all busy with their own affairs to entertain Mo Xiu. They were not beside them. Therefore, Mo Xiu had nothing to worry about, and bluntly said, "Are you sure that they are your biological parents?"

Ming Huang was stunned as quickly replied, "Of course, they are. My parents can testify."

It seemed that in order to make Mo Xiu believe, he even called his father over.

Ming Huang's father was named Ming Yan.

Ming Huang originally thought Ming Yan would confirm without hesitation, but to his surprise, Ming Yan's first reaction turned out to be silence.

"What's the matter?" Ming Huang was immediately stunned.

Mo Xiu was also a bit speechless. Originally, he just asked casually, without thinking about it, but Ming Yan's reaction seemed to confirm his casual question.

After a long silence, Ming Yan said, "Of course, we are your parents. Don't think too much."

"Father, tell me the truth," Ming Huang could tell at a glance that it wasn't true. Even a three-year-old child could notice this.

Ming Yan dodged his eyes and desperately changed the subject. It was not until Ming Huang moved Mo Xiu out that Ming Yan agreed to tell the truth.

It turned out that Ming Huang was really not Ming Yan's biological son.

More than a decade ago, Ming Yan was not a villager of this Gourd Village, but a murderous bandit in the nearby Sunless Wind Camp.

One day, the bandits caught a group of people, and there was a very beautiful woman in the group, but the woman was holding a baby.

A beautiful woman would always be coveted, so the first chief and the second chief of Sunless Wind Camp fought against each other for that woman.

As the third chief of Sunless Wind Camp, Ming Yan couldn't bear to watch Sunless Wind Camp fall apart, so he found an opportunity to let the woman go, but the matter was quickly discovered by the other two chiefs.

The two went from being hostile to each other to joining forces, not only imprisoning Ming Yan, but also sent people to search in an attempt to capture that woman back.

Although imprisoned, Ming Yan also had a confidant in Sunless Wind Camp. With the help of his confidant, Ming Yan managed to escape and ran to find the woman in an attempt to save the woman's life.

In the end, however, Ming Yan could not find the woman, he only found the baby who was left on a stone platform under a cliff.

The baby was later named Ming Huang.

The woman was later found dead, and Sunless Wind Camp could not accommodate Ming Yan. Eventually, Ming Yan took Ming Huang to Gourd Village, settled in Gourd Village, married a wife and had children, thus formed the current family.

A very complicated story...

Mo Xiu didn't feel anything, but Ming Huang was already dumbfounded.

He felt that he was really not Ming Yan's son, only Ming Huang's younger siblings were biological children of Ming Yan.

"I don't know if you are that woman's son, but you look a lot like her. It is very likely that you are her son. As for your biological father, I don't know who he is. She never said anything about him," Ming Yan said with a sigh.

"..."

Ming Huang was silent. Although he didn't feel emotional to the point of crying, he probably didn't feel well in his heart at this moment.

Mo Xiu did not speak for comfort, but asked, "Is 'Ming Huang' his original name or did you pick it for him?"

The word "Huang" in Ming Huang's name coincidentally meant "phoenix", and this little fellow also happened to have the Phoenix bloodline.

Ming Yan definitely didn't know that Ming Huang had the bloodline of Phoenix. If Ming Huang's name was taken by Ming Huang's biological parents, then it was very likely that Ming Huang's parents knew that Ming Huang had the bloodline of Phoenix.

It was very likely that one of Ming Huang's parents was also the owner of the Phoenix bloodline, and it was even possible that two people were the owners of the Phoenix bloodline.

Since he was already here, Mo Xiu must figure this out to the end. He couldn't really come for nothing.

Although Ming Yan didn't know why Mo Xiu cared about Ming Huang's name, he honestly replied, "I gave him this name. When I found him, there happened to be a phoenix carved on the stone platform where he stayed on, so I simply named him Ming Huang."

"Phoenix stone platform?"

Mo Xiu stood up abruptly.

He had always thought that the Phoenix bloodline inside Ming Huang was inherited from his parents or his ancestors, because such a thin bloodline was generally inherited many generations later.

However, he overlooked a possibility. Perhaps the Phoenix bloodline of Ming Huang was not inherited from his parents or his ancestors, but it was something he had gained after he was born.

He had read Ming Huang's information, but it didn't say that Ming Huang had any special experience, so he didn't think so much at that time. But if Ming Huang was originally just an ordinary person, but had the Phoenix bloodline all because of the Phoenix stone platform...

Mo Xiu didn't know what kind of Phoenix stone platform could allow ordinary people to have Phoenix bloodline, but that thing was probably not ordinary.

Now, he must check it carefully.

He extended his Divine Consciousness to find the Phoenix stone platform Ming Yan said, but even after searching the Sky Gem Mountain for a long time, but he did not see the so-called Phoenix stone platform, he only found the Sunless Wind Camp.

"Where is the stone platform you mentioned? Take me there," Mo Xiu looked at Ming Yan.

Ming Yan was stunned for a moment, and said in doubt, "Now?"

"Yes," Mo Xiu nodded.

Ming Yan looked at the sky outside and said, "It's getting dark soon. Should I take you there tomorrow morning instead?"

"Just right now, it won't take much time."

As Mo Xiu said, he raised his hand and waved gently, leading Ming Yan and Ming Huang to leave the house and out of Gourd Village.

"Which direction?" Mo Xiu asked.

Ming Yan looked down, swallowed, and pointed in one of the directions.

Originally, Sky Gem Mountain was not a big mountain. It would not take much time for Mo Xiu to find a Phoenix stone platform, provided that Ming Yan could remember the location of the Phoenix stone platform.

Of course, Ming Yan couldn't remember what happened more than ten years ago, but as long as he found the Sunless Wind Camp, he could find that original cliff, and then he could find the Phoenix stone platform under the cliff.

Originally, Mo Xiu thought that Ming Yan could directly point out the direction of the Phoenix Stone platform, but he actually had to find Sunless Wind Camp before he could find the cliff, which made him somewhat speechless.

But the problem was not big. It was estimated that Ming Huang also wanted to find someone from Sunless Wind Camp to settle accounts and avenge his biological mother.

In an instant, he had already brought Ming Yan and Ming Huang to the sky above Sunless Wind Camp.

"Who!" There was a sharp shout, which was from the patrolling person at the Sunless Wind Camp.

Mo Xiu glanced at the Sunless Wind Camp below, and did not respond, but said to Ming Huang, "If you want revenge, I will give you some time. If you don't want revenge, let's go directly to the cliff."

Ming Huang hesitated for a while, then nodded.

For Mo Xiu, the small Sunless Wind Camp could be wiped out in an instant. But it didn't make sense. The bandits in this camp did not provoke him, nor did they threaten him.

So allowing Ming Huang to do it himself was the best choice, which was equivalent to giving Ming Huang a chance to train himself. Anyway, with him here, there was no need to worry about accidents.

He raised his hand and waved. A gust of wind dragged Ming Huang, causing Ming Huang to slowly fall below.

The patrolling person at Sunless Wind Camp didn't know who Ming Huang was.

Under normal circumstances, when they saw a beautiful person like Ming Huang, they would catch him as soon as possible regardless of gender. But Ming Huang was not here alone, and that person who was staying in the sky...

The people on patrol felt chills after only one glance at Mo Xiu.

A terrible enemy, probably stronger than any enemy they had ever seen.

"Enemy attack! Enemy attack!"

The alarm sounded throughout Sunless Wind Camp instantly.
