At the Buddha Temple.

After returning to reality, Mu Kui was sowhat confused.

He vaguely rembered that sothing had happened, that he had seen sothing.

But now, upon reflection, he could only feel a severe headache and his blood energy beca extrely violent and fierce.

This condition was a side effect of the breaking of the mory seal. Once he recovered from the violent state, he would lose the mories of what happened during that period.

“Did Eldest Senior Brother really beco a monk?” Mu Kui muttered again.

But strangely, instead of feeling disgust or anger this ti, he felt an inexplicable sensation like heartache.

Mu Kui shook his head.

He wasn’t used to deep thinking, so he simply stopped pondering about it.

“Brother Mu! I finally found you!” A monk dressed in the attire of the Ancient Pill Tower ran over from a distance.

“Xiao Shan?” Mu Kui frowned.

He didn’t know why he was frowning. He just suddenly found Xiao Shan extrely annoying.

“Brother Mu, I heard that there’s a notorious monk nad ‘Zhang Hu,’ also known as ‘San Zang,’ causing trouble around here! If I’m not mistaken, this person should be Jiang Chen!” Xiao Shan said seriously upon arrival.

“How do you know?” Mu Kui continued to frown.

Hearing this, Xiao Shan smiled confidently.

He knew, and he had known for a long ti!

When Guidance Hall’s Hui Xing ntioned “Zhang Hu” and the great White Tiger, he felt a sense of familiarity.

But soon, he guessed that the person was not Zhang Hu at all, but Jiang Chen!

The reason was simple. The Ancient Pill Tower had always paid special attention to information about Jiang Chen and Ninth Peak.

Xiao Shan knew that Ninth Peak had a disciple nad Zhang Hu, and he was also aware that Qingning had brought back a large White Tiger after returning from the Hengduan Mountain Range!

There weren’t many great White Tigers that could make Hui Xing feel like facing a formidable enemy, so he instantly concluded that the tiger must be Xiaobai.

Then the question arose. Why would such a powerful demon follow an unknown Zhang Hu?

Following this line of reasoning, Xiao Shan was certain that it wasn’t Zhang Hu, but it was Jiang Chen in disguise!

The reason he didn’t tell Hui Xing at the ti was that if Hui Xing found out, he would surely inform the main temple of Buddha Sect.

Then, not only would he be unable to enter the Buddha Sect, but Jiang Chen would also be driven away.

In that case, his plan to eliminate Jiang Chen through Mu Kui would undoubtedly go up in smoke.

That’s why Xiao Shan kept the truth to himself.

Upon hearing that Jiang Chen had caused a disturbance in the Buddha Sect, Xiao Shan felt that an opportunity had arrived!

Although he didn’t know why Jiang Chen had practiced Buddhist Sect techniques, it was undeniable that such an act was tantamount to betrayal.

He could use this to persuade Mu Kui to eliminate the threat for the sect!

“Brother Mu, I heard that the master of Ninth Peak of Jiuyan Sect had issued a strict order forbidding Jiang Chen from practicing the Jiang family’s techniques! Yet, your Eldest Senior Brother has practiced Buddhist Sect techniques! This act…” Xiao Shan said indignantly.

“Is akin to betrayal?” Mu Kui asked in return.

“Exactly!”

Xiao Shan nodded solemnly, saying, “To learn profound Buddhist teachings, one needs not only talent but also to be accepted by a high monk as a disciple and receive the transmission of Buddhist teachings! Therefore, Jiang Chen has not only betrayed the sect but also his master! Such an act is simply inhuman!”

Inhuman?

Jiang Chen?

As these words reached his ears, Mu Kui’s frown deepened.

A strong sense of anger welled up in his heart.

“Ah!!”

He experienced a sharp pain in his sea of consciousness, clutching his head and screaming in agony.

A mory surfaced in his mind.

In the mory, Jiang Chen was dressed in white, with a clean and bright smile.

That was at the Ninth Peak’s training platform of Jiuyan Sect.

He stood opposite Jiang Chen.

“Eldest Senior Brother, shall we stop? I can’t control my strength well, and I might hurt you…” Mu Kui said with a conflicted expression.

“You might indeed hurt , but as cultivators, we cannot work in isolation. Since no one else is willing to spar with you, it’s only right for as your Eldest Senior Brother to step up!” Jiang Chen said with a slight smile.

“But…” Mu Kui was still conflicted.

“There are no buts!”

Jiang Chen waved his hand to interrupt and stepped forward with his sword, saying, “Fourth Junior Brother, watch out!”

Reluctantly, Mu Kui had no choice but to spar with Jiang Chen.

At that ti, Jiang Chen was at the Human Origin level.

While Mu Kui was only a lower realm cultivator and had just joined the Ninth Peak of Jiuyan Sect not long ago.

Despite being in the lower realm, his combat power was comparable to that of a Human Origin cultivator.

He could even dominate those who had just entered the Core Formation stage.

Mu Kui’s fighting spirit grew as the spar progressed, and he fought more and more valiantly.

In the end, his blood and qi wrapped around him, and with the enhancent of the Martial Emperor Physique, he threw a punch.

This punch was majestic, like thunder and lightning, creating a vacuum on the platform! Jiang Chen raised his sword to block.

“Crack!”

The spiritual sword and fist collided, emitting a crisp sound of breaking.

The next second, Jiang Chen was sent several steps back, clutching his chest while letting out a muffled groan.

“Eldest Senior Brother!”

Seeing this, Mu Kui ca to his senses and hurriedly went to support him.

“Junior Brother’s punch is formidable. I’ve lost,” Jiang Chen said with a smile.

“That’s not true,” Mu Kui shook his head.

“Eldest Senior Brother let win, and your spiritual weapon and techniques are not high-grade.”

“Ha ha! A loss is a loss. Where’s the sense in making excuses?” Jiang Chen laughed heartily.

“Today’s spar was fun, let’s celebrate with a drink!”

“Alright! I’ll call Second Senior Brother!” Mu Kui nodded.

“Let’s leave Mubai out of this. His tolerance for alcohol really isn’t great.”

“That’s true…”

“Haha!”

With that, the two exchanged a smile.

Just as the mory seed to continue, it was invaded by scarlet blood, and then the scene began to shatter and blur.

When he ca back to his senses, Mu Kui stood there stunned, with the sound of laughter still echoing in his mind.

“What is this? Why do I feel warmth in my heart as if these mories truly happened, even though I have no recollection of them?” Looking up at the sky, Mu Kui murmured softly.

He hadn’t felt this kind of warmth in a long ti.

Since he could rember, his mind was filled with cultivation and breakthroughs, and he would quickly forget other emotions.

But now, this warmth in his heart…It was like the dawn or the setting sun, warm and morable.

Suddenly.

“Ah!!”

Another sharp pain shot through his mind!

Mu Kui scread out, his eyes turning blood red, and his blood boiled, seeping out from his pores.

Clearly, this was the seal left by the Martial Emperor, a counterasure after sensing that Mu Kui’s mood was influenced by external forces.

The Martial Emperor wanted to use this thod to make Mu Kui abandon the lingering warmth in his heart and focus solely on martial arts.

But… Mu Kui was unwilling!

The mories of nine cycles of reincarnation may have disappeared, but their influence lingered.

How could soone who has seen the dawn willingly plunge back into darkness?

Sensing that the warmth in his heart was being dispersed by the violent blood and qi, he knelt on the ground, repeatedly banging his head against the floor.

Once.

The ground cracked.

Twice.

The ground collapsed.

Thrice.

The ground trembled all around.

Four tis.

Five tis.

Six…

……

Until his head was broken and bleeding, with fresh blood streaming down his forehead like rain, almost covering his entire body.

Finally, he stopped moving and looked up at the sky.

His eyes were slightly dull, occasionally flashing with a bloody light.

Blood dripped down the corner of his mouth, yet he cracked a smile.

“Good, I haven’t forgotten…”

If it were external forces controlling or influencing him, the Martial Emperor’s mory seal would prevent it even if it ant death.

But what if it was resistance from within?

The ‘Martial Emperor’ was helpless.
