Mu Yang’s eyes were solemn, and an ominous premonition arose in his heart.
He and Mu Ning Feng had grown up together.
He knew Mu Ning Feng’s character inside and out.
To put it nicely, he was meticulous and a master strategist.
To put it crudely, he was insidious, cunning, and would stop at nothing.
“I’ve become a cripple, what other tricks could I possibly have?” Mu Ning Feng laughed maniacally. The crippling of his dantian was unexpected.
However.
He had not lost yet.
As long as he could reclaim the chieftain’s token and cultivate that technique, his power would return.
Mu Yang said in a low voice, “Since you have no other tricks, quickly release my benefactor!”
“Uncle, why should I release your benefactor?” Mu Yuan asked with a puzzled expression.
Mu Yang said angrily, “Your father made an agreement with me earlier. If I defeated him, he would release my benefactor. The tribesmen can bear witness to this. You can’t deny it.”
“Hahaha!” Mu Yuan burst into laughter. “I never said I would deny it.”
Mu Yang: “Then why aren’t you putting down your sword?”
Mu Yuan retorted righteously, “That was an agreement between my father and you. Why should I release your benefactor just because he lost to you? Did I make any agreement with you?”
As soon as he spoke.
The subordinates behind him burst into laughter.
“Indeed, that was the chieftain’s agreement with you, what does it have to do with young master?”
“You say you’re not crazy, but if you were a normal person, why would you ask such a foolish question?”
The unrestrained laughter deeply enraged Mu Yang.
He felt as if these people before him were demons.
Each of their smiles was sinister.
It sent a shiver down his spine.
“Uncle, I don’t deny that your condensation of sword intent is impressive,” Mu Yuan said. “But for a Lower God King to condense sword intent, you must be at your limit now, right?”
As he spoke.
He unleashed a terrifying divine power with his left hand.
*Puff!*
Mu Yang was sent flying more than ten meters, spitting blood. He knelt on the ground, vomiting blood uncontrollably.
Just as Mu Yuan had said.
Even though Mu Yang had condensed sword intent.
But whether it was sword intent or blade intent.
It required a cultivator at the Upper God King realm to comprehend and condense it.
Although he had comprehended sword intent before.
Forcing its use had consumed a large amount of his divine power and soul power.
He was now like a fish on a chopping board, at the mercy of others.
“Mu Ning Feng, are you really going to do this?” Mu Yang coughed up blood, his eyes filled with unwillingness.
Mu Ning Feng sat cross-legged, a faint smile on his face. “Brother, don’t blame me!”
“It’s mainly because the child has grown up and has his own opinions.”
“Even as a father, I cannot interfere with his decisions!” He laughed heartily.
Mu Yuan asked, “Uncle, do you want the chieftain’s position, or Chen Nan’s life?”
Mu Yang clenched his fists, his eyes filled with pain. “Mu Yuan, you have truly disappointed Uncle!”
“I have never married in my life.”
“I have always regarded you as my own son.”
“But I never expected you to be so wicked.”
“If I had known this would happen, I shouldn’t have taught you cultivation techniques back then.”
Mu Yuan seemed to recall something from his childhood, a hint of reminiscence on his face, followed by a pained expression, and then he grinned sinisterly. “Uncle, are you trying to hurt me with sentimentality?”
“Waa!”
“This blow really hurts so much, so much, so much!”
“Let me tell you, it’s useless.”
“Because I will always remember your earnest teachings.”
“Man does not live for himself, and heaven and earth will destroy him!”
*Puff!*
Mu Yang spat out a mouthful of blood. He widened his eyes, his pupils bloodshot, and roared in unwillingness, “I did say that, but the ‘man does not live for himself’ I spoke of does not refer to oneself!”
“What I meant by ‘self’ was our human race!”
“Heh!”
Mu Yuan sneered, “Uncle, do you know what I dislike about you the most?”
“I dislike your selfless ambition and desire to save everyone in the world the most.”
“Hypocritical!”
“Impractical!”
“When demons are rampant.”
“Even survival has become an extremely extravagant thing for the human race.”
“When we can’t even save ourselves.”
“What right do we have to talk about saving the world?”
“Do you have the ability to save the world?”
“Don’t you have any idea of your own capabilities?”
Mu Yang’s face turned ashen. He never expected the child he watched grow up to say something so disruptive to his worldview.
Taking a deep breath, he said in a low voice, “Yes!”
“I really don’t have much ability!”
“But I know.”
“Some things always require someone to do them.”
“Even if they cannot be achieved.”
“They will inspire others.”
Mu Yuan said angrily, “This is simply moths flying into a flame! A foolish idea!”
Mu Yang smiled and shook his head. “Do you think flying into a flame is a foolish act?”
“No, no, no!”
“You are mistaken!”
“When it comes to fighting demons.”
“Their relentless rush into the flames is not foolish.”
“But to ignite the endless darkness with their own flesh and blood!”
“You wouldn’t understand this!”
“Because all you have in your mind is the desire for power!”
“This will become your inner demon, and you will never become a strong person in this life!”
“Shut up!” Mu Yuan said in anger. “Enough with the nonsense, hand over the chieftain’s token, or I’ll behead Chen Nan right now!”
Mu Yang asked in a low voice, “If I hand over the thumb ring, will you really let him go?”
Mu Yuan: “All I want is the chieftain’s token. If you give me the token, why would I kill him? Do we have any deep enmity?”
“I don’t think so!”
Mu Yang looked at the jade thumb ring on his thumb.
His heart was heavy and complex.
This was once something he was proud of.
He had become the chieftain of the tribe at the age of eighteen.
This was unprecedented in the Bei Li tribe.
But now.
What he was once proud of had caused a rift with his brother.
How much pride the thumb ring had brought him in the past, he felt that much pain now!
“Since that’s the case, Uncle will trust you this once!” Mu Yang removed the thumb ring from his thumb and tossed it towards Mu Yuan.
Mu Yuan’s eyes lit up.
He finally got the thumb ring!
His heart raced, and he snatched the flying thumb ring.
He then put it on his thumb.
After putting it on, he grinned and said, “I must say, it fits perfectly!” He then raised his right hand in a thumbs-up gesture.
“Greetings, Chieftain!”
“Greetings, Chieftain!”
The people of the Bei Li tribe knelt down in unison.
Mu Yang said, “You have become the chieftain of the tribe, quickly release my benefactor!”
Mu Yuan’s face was flushed, and his eyes gleamed with malice. “I’m sorry, Uncle, I’ve changed my mind!”
“Although I have no enmity with Chen Nan, I don’t like the look of him.”
“He must die today.”
“If you don’t want to see him die, you can close your eyes.”
Mu Yang’s smile was bitter. “Mu Yuan, do you know why I gave you the thumb ring?”
“I wanted to give you a chance to live!”
“Unfortunately, you didn’t seize it.”
“What do you mean?” Mu Yuan looked at Chen Nan with disdain. “Could it be that this guy can kill me? My sword is at his throat, how can he kill me?”
Chen Nan revealed a thought-provoking smile. “You don’t think of me as a weakling, do you?”
