"Brat, you've gone too far. Don't think that you can avoid him just because of this."

Duan Lang's face turned ugly when he heard Mu Cheng's voice, and he suddenly opened his tightly clenched fists.

Mu Cheng only saw the sudden change in the doppelgänger's ruler changing once again. When Mu Cheng was just inches away from it, it had actually changed once again.

Duan Lang was shocked. Seeing the light flash past, Duan Lang felt a chill in his heart.

"Hmph. Your insignificant skill. Watch how I take care of you."

Mu Cheng looked at Duan Lang coldly, a glint flashed past his eyes but the Thunderclap Sword by his side returned.

"This is really hateful, Master is too biased, to actually pass the Wind and Thunder Art to you, I have been by his side for a full ten years looking down at it." A trace of hatred flashed across Duan Lang's face, but soon after, that resentment turned into monstrous hatred.

"Senior Brother, it's not that Master does not want to pass down the Wind and Thunder Art, but that's because this manual does not suit you at all."

Mu Cheng could not help but feel some sadness in his heart when he saw Duan Lang's ferocious expression. After all, they were all fellow brothers of the same mountain, why would they side with each other?

"Scram. You are someone who doesn't care if you stand and speak. Above this profound peak, who doesn't know of my, Duan Lang's, talent."

"But why do you insist on being my master? Which part of you is better than me?"

Duan Lang seemed to have found a outlet to vent his anger, as he roared angrily at Mu Cheng, to vent out his years of dissatisfaction and hatred towards Xuan Luo.

"Senior Apprentice Brother Duan, your condition today isn't right." Mu Cheng didn't know why Duan Lang would lose his composure like this today.

Looking at the absent-minded Duan Lang, Mu Cheng didn't know how to comfort him.

"Mu Cheng, it's either you or me today. Take this."

The painful expression on Duan Lang's face gradually became stronger, as though he was enduring a huge pain.

"Senior Brother Duan, we are both disciples of the Zongtian Sect, there is no need for this."

Mu Cheng sighed and dodged Duan Lang's attack.

Speaking of Duan Lang's strength, he was only at the middle stage of the broken soul, although his strength was not far from Mu Cheng's.

However, Mu Cheng's magic power was a bit purer than his, and Mu Cheng's capital was also a bit stronger than his.

As he watched Duan Lang's figure slowly disappear, a hint of disappointment flashed past Mu Cheng's eyes. He didn't know why Duan Lang had disappeared, but was he really trying to beat up their disciple?

However, on that day in the morning peak, Xuan Luo acted against the Songtazu in front of everyone, and he acted extremely protectively.

"Alright, Senior Apprentice Brother Duan, stop. Just pretend that nothing happened today."

Mu Cheng stood still, looked at the Duan Lang who was getting further and further away, and sighed.

"Nonsense, you want to stay above the profound peak for ten years, but you still have that strength. What are you thinking about in your heart?"

With an explosive shout, Duan Lang's entire body began to crack.

"What's going on?"

Mu Cheng simply could not understand what exactly happened and why Duan Lang's body suddenly cracked.

"Duan Lang, you're too presumptuous. In this profound peak, who is in charge?"

A dignified voice resounded within the forest, and instantly spread throughout the entire profound peak. All the disciples heard it.

"Have I not appeared for so long that you've forgotten my existence?"

"Duan Lang, I will shake your soul in hell forever now, never to reincarnate."

Xuan Luo's voice spread throughout the entire profound peak.

"Master, please spare his life."

Mu Cheng said in a soft voice, but as he looked at the huge hand in the sky, the last bit of hope in his heart was shattered.

"Mu Cheng, you have no business here, so don't get involved. Hurry to the main hall. I have something to tell you."

Xuan Luo's voice was imposing, and revealed an undefiable intent.

"Yes, Master, I'll come right away." Mu Cheng respectfully said and immediately headed towards the peak of profound peak.

"Xuan Luo, you old bastard, I have been waiting for this day for a long time.

Mu Cheng could still hear Duan Lang's voice even after he had walked quite a distance away.

Mu Cheng walked to the entrance of the hall and heard Xuan Luo's voice from inside. It was a voice that was both unfamiliar and familiar.

"Mu Cheng, come in." When Xuan Luo's gentle voice entered his ear, it was completely different from the ice-cold voice just now.

"Yes, Master." Mu Cheng's tone was very strange as well.

It was true that some of these things had happened a moment ago, but the disparity between what happened before and after was just too great. It felt as if the Xuan Luo in front of him possessed two completely different personalities.

"Sit down." Xuan Luo pointed to a chair to the side and asked Mu Cheng to sit down.

"Mu Cheng, it's not like you've never been here before, so there's no need to be so formal. Just treat this place as your home."

Xuan Luo glanced at Mu Cheng, and said indifferently. Looking at Xuan Luo in front of him, it was difficult for Mu Cheng to connect with the voice outside just now.

"Master, I'm a bit tired today, so I went out to kill some demon beasts to increase my combat experience. May I ask what Master has requested of me?"

Mu Cheng did not know how to face Xuan Luo, so he simply changed the topic.

"Mu Cheng, I brought you here to explain the location of the trial."

After saying that, Xuan Luo paused for a while and looked at Mu Cheng, only to see that his mind didn't seem to be on this matter.

"Mu Cheng, is there something on your mind?" Xuan Luo asked.

As an elder, Xuan Luo was very much like a father right now.

"Uh, Master, I'm fine. Tell me, I just met the Nine-Tailed Demon Fox today, but I let him run away."

Mu Cheng casually said, not noticing Xuan Luo's expression at all.

Xuan Luo's face instantly became extremely ugly, but it quickly disappeared as he changed into a benevolent expression. He looked at Mu Cheng, but his eyes revealed killing intent.

However, Mu Cheng's heart was alarmed as he felt a trace of killing intent, causing him to become nervous.

If Xuan Luo were to kill him now, he probably wouldn't be able to escape so easily. He might even die here.

"Hehe, Mu Cheng, how did you meet the Nine-tailed Demon Fox? That Demon Beast existed for a long time in the mountain behind Zongtian Sect."

"It's just that the fox is really cunning and knows how to transform. The sect's disciples have been sent out a few times, but have been unable to accomplish anything."

Xuan Luo said in a bland voice, trying his best to hide the changes in his eyes. However, Mu Cheng still noticed the subtle changes, and became wary of him. This Xuan Luo was indeed not like the Xuan Luo he had seen before.

"Yes, master. That fox is truly extremely cunning. Today, it almost got its way. It's just that that fox ran away really quickly, otherwise, it would have definitely been able to subdue that animal today." Mu Cheng's acting was also perfect, showing a very regretful expression.

"Master, what is the origin of this Nine Tailed Demon Fox?" Mu Cheng looked towards Xuan Luo's figure and asked.

Xuan Luo's expression softened, but he was still extremely serious. He could tell that Mu Cheng was not thinking about this.

"Master, master." Mu Cheng asked a few more times, but Xuan Luo didn't seem to have any reaction.

"Mu Cheng, what did you ask me just now?" Xuan Luo regained his senses and looked gently at Mu Cheng.

"Master, I want to learn some legends regarding the Nine Tailed Demon Claw." Mu Cheng said carefully. He lowered his head with an extremely humble attitude.

"Haha, this Nine Tailed Demon Fox is a beast from the Ancient Era. However, as time passes, the descendants of the Nine Tailed Demon Fox become thinner and thinner."

"So much so that it's going to die out soon. However, that fox in the back mountain has a very strong bloodline power."

"This is also the reason why our Zongtian Sect surrounded and annihilated him several times without success."

Xuan Luo seemed to be deep in thought, his eyes were unfocused and there was no light in them.

"Master, in the distant ancient times, what level of demon beast was this Nine-tailed Demon Fox?" Mu Cheng curiously asked.

After all, this was related to the circumstances of the Spirit Demon Fox within the Mysterious Heaven Jade, and it was also related to the power Mu Cheng possessed, so it had to be clarified.

Xuan Luo's eyes gradually filled with spirit, looking at Mu Cheng with a kind of profit, as if he wanted to see through Mu Cheng's body.

Unfortunately, Xuan Luo's gaze could not penetrate the Mysterious Heaven Jade in Mu Cheng's right hand, as that was his entire secret.

"Master, master." Mu Cheng weakly called out to Xuan Luo, but his heart was starting to feel uneasy.

"Mu Cheng, the current you doesn't need to know about the Nine Tailed Demon Fox. You can talk about it after you reach the neo-spiritual realm."

After a long while, Xuan Luo retracted his gaze, looked at Mu Cheng, and slowly said.

Xuan Luo slowly turned his body and walked towards the depths of the hall. His footsteps were slow, as though he had not moved at all.

Mu Cheng looked at Xuan Luo's back, and suddenly felt that Xuan Luo was not as free and easy as he appeared on the surface.

Everyone had their own stories, but Xuan Luo seemed to have hidden them extremely well.

"Mu Cheng, there is a piece of information about the trial grounds on the table. Take it back and take a look."

"Perhaps it will be of some use to you. I'm a little tired. Go back."

Xuan Luo's voice sounded from the depths of the great hall, and his tone revealed a little exhaustion.

Mu Cheng left in doubt. Mu Cheng didn't find it strange about Duan Lang's death.

To dare to look down upon Xuan Luo like that, he did not deserve to die, but Xuan Luo's change in attitude was unacceptable to Mu Cheng.

Mu Cheng descended the mountain and returned to his room. He lay on his bed and couldn't fall asleep for a long time.

His mind was filled with the image of Xuan Luo's leaving back. It was a little lonely, and at the same time, a little lonely, which would always appear in Mu Cheng's mind.
