Chapter 3 Dragon Had Inverse Scales

At night, the moon was bright and the stars were sparse.

In Tongyang City, Xia Clan, the fire was soaring to the sky.

"Is the dungeon on fire? Who did it?"

In the hall, Xia Bingxuan, who had been discussing with Xia Clan's senior members, stood up suddenly and was shocked.

"Miss, please forgive me, the arsonist has not yet been found. But the fire is getting bigger and bigger and has spread to the buildings near the north courtyard."

A servant knelt on the ground and reported with his face pale.

Xia Bingxuan and others quickly walked out of the hall and looked at the fire in the north courtyard, their faces changed greatly.

"Summon everyone in the house and put out the fire as soon as possible!"

Next to Xia Bingxuan, a middle-aged man in a purple robe stood, he waved his sleeve and commanded to servants.

The name of the man in the purple robe was Xia Zhengye, the contemporary Master of the Xia Clan, and the father of Xia Bingxuan.

Xia Bingxuan's face was gloomy and she said, "Something must have happened in the dungeon. Father, let's go and see."

Xia Zhengye nodded and then followed Xia Bingxuan toward the dungeon.

In the west courtyard of Xia Clan's house.

A figure quietly entered, fell on an eave, revealing a slightly juvenile face.

He was exactly Mu Feng.

Before leaving the dungeon, Mu Feng used his skills of controlling fire to quickly spread the fire in the dungeon, creating a big fire.

As Mu Feng expected, the fire caught the attention of most Xia's masters.

But he easily left the dungeon, headed westward all the way, and successfully arrived at the west courtyard.

After shunning several patrols, Mu Feng came to the courtyard of Xichang Pavilion, the core of the west courtyard.

In Xichang Pavilion, the lights were swaying, and there came voices inside.

Mu Feng quietly jumped onto the roof, uncovered the tiles, and looked inward.

There was a man and a woman in the cabinet, and they were both young.

The man was in white clothes and looked quite handsome.

The girl looked common was freckled.

Mu Feng immediately recognized the two.

The name of the man was Xia Xing, and the name of the woman was Xia Han. The two are cousins of Xia Bingxuan.

When Mu Feng was still at the Li Clan, they visited Xia Bingxuan with their elders and lived in the Li Clan for a while.

Li Wenshu was also very good to them, not only teaching them the cultivation methods but also spending a lot of money to buy them weapons and armors.

Mu Feng remembered that Xia Xing and Xia Han even said that after they reached some achievements in martial arts, they would protect Li Wenshu.

Now it seemed ironic!

Inside the cabinet stood a huge wooden barrel filled with steaming black liquid medicine.

A woman sat cross-legged in the barrel with her hair disheveled.

Her hands were tied by chains and hung over the beams.

Under the disheveled long hair, it was a gaunt, haggard face.

Mu Feng looked at the woman, his breathing suddenly became fast, and his eyes were bloodshot.

Because her name is Li Wenshu and she is his mother.

"Aunt Li, you are a Li's proud daughter, but I never thought you would end like this!"

Xia Xing said, with a strange, biting tone.

Li Wenshu raised her eyelids difficultly, looked at the man and woman in front of her, and said coldly, "Xia Xing, Xia Han? What are you doing here?"

"Aunt Li, why are you so cold to us? Anyway, we used to be your informal disciples, knowing to come to see you, not like your crap son." Xia Han sneered.

"How is Feng'er now? Xia Bingxuan promised me that as long as I am willing to be human medicines, she won't find Feng'er's trouble."

When talking about Mu Feng, Li Wenshu became emotional.

"Your waste son should have been refined into medicines! You are still so stupid even you are aged! Have you wasted your life on dogs these years?"

Xia Xing laughed, his eyes were full of derision.

Li Wenshu seemed to be hit hard by this news. She trembled and wanted to break the chains.

Then she found out that her limbs had been abolished and she could not move at all.

"Why? You can do anything to me, but why did you hurt Feng'er? He has suffered enough."

At this moment, Li Wenshu, like a furious lioness, yelled at Xia Xing and Xia Han, venting her anger.

Snapped!

Xia Xing took a step forward and slapped Li Wenshu.

He said coldly: "Li Wenshu, you have to remember, now, you are a human medicine, cheaper than a slave. Who gave you the right to yell?"

Xia Han said gloatingly: "Do you really value yourself still as a former Miss Li? Now you are a mean human medicine, even lower than domestic animals!"

"Sister Han, I'll use this medicine first! I'll let you come later!"

After that, Xia Xing stepped forward, with his right hand clenched into a claw, and patted heavily at Li Wenshu's Tianling Acupoint, absorbing the spirit force in Li Wenshu's body peremptorily.

"No wonder she was a strong one at the Life Wheel Realm, so full of spirit force. Within three days, I can open up the fifth lifeline!" Xia Xing said briskly.

On the other hand, Li Wenshu was pale and bloodless, trembling all over, bleeding from the mouth and nose, and her breath constantly weakened.

"Brother! Hurry up, I have to practice, too. We don't have much time to use human medicines!"

Xia Han quickly reminded.

Suddenly, a loud noise came from the roof, and countless tiles fell.

"You two, damn it!"

Among the debris of the tiles, Mu Feng fell, and the ground roared and shuddered slightly.

"Mu Feng?"

Xia Xing and Xia Han exclaimed in unison.

Hadn't Mu Feng already been refined?

Why did he appear in Xichang Pavilion?

"Feng'er!"

Li Wenshu's dim eyes regained brilliance.

"Die!"

When Mu Feng landed, he jumped up and rushed to Xia Xing.

Li Wenshu was the only relative he cared about in this world, and no one could humiliate her.

Whoever harmed her would die!

"Mu Feng, without Li Wenshu's protection, you are a complete waste!"

Xia Xing came back to his senses and sneered again. He stepped out to confront Mu Feng on his initiative, with four lifelines suddenly lighted up.

Xia Xing knew that Mu Feng had been taken away the natural royal body since he was young, and his lifelines had dried up. He was a waste that could not cultivate.

How could this waste be compared with him?

But what he didn't expect was that Mu Feng had awakened the memory of the Eternal Emperor of his previous life, broken through fetters of lifelines with the help of the Eternal Holy Scripture, and set foot on the road of cultivation again.

Boom!

The two fists met, and the harsh wind swept through.

Xia Xing's face changed drastically. In front of his eyes, lifelines lighted up one by one on Mu Feng's body, and finally five golden lines appeared between his brows, shining brightly.

"Life ... five lifelines?" Xia Xing exclaimed.

"Get to hell!"

Mu Feng shouted angrily and burst out with all his strength.

Then Xia Xing's fist blew into blood foam, his right arm was crushed, and his right chest was blown through by the punch.

Xia Xing spat out mouthful blood and slammed into the back wall.

"Who gave you the right to harm my mother? Who allowed you..."

Mu Feng stepped forward and punched on Xia Xingmen's face one after another, venting the anger in his chest.

Boom!

Mu Feng burst out his last punch, then Xia Xing's face became blurry in blood and died.

Xia Xing was punched dead by him!

"You ... aren't you unable to cultivate? Why are you ..."

Xia Han was scared with trembling legs. She wanted to escape but didn't dare.

Because Mu Feng's eyes were too cold, and he was staring at her.

"Mu Feng, you are too presumptuous! This is the Xia Clan, dare you to harm me?"

After Xia Han said with anger, she quietly retreated and fired the signal flares prepared before.

A blaze of fire rushed out of the window, and gorgeous fireworks bloomed over the Xichang Pavilion.

Xia Han was relieved. She knew that people of the Xia Clan would soon arrive, and Mu Feng would surely die.

When she looked at Mu Feng again, she found that Mu Feng was close at hand.

"I even dare to kill you!"

Mu Feng's tone was cold, his straight right hand hit on Xia Han's whole body continuously.

Xia Han spat out blood and curled up on the ground, screaming painfully.

"Ah! Mu Feng, you are so ruthless that you even ruined my lifelines!" Xia Han rolled on the ground.

"Shut up!"

Mu Feng stepped on Xia Han's face, then walked to the front of Li Wenshu.

Dang!

Mu Feng unlocked the chains on Li Wenshu's body. The moment he lifted her, Mu Feng's heart twitched fiercely, and his eyes were filled with tears.

Li Wenshu was so skinny. How much had she suffered become like this?

"Mother! Your child is not filial, and I made you suffer from this!"

Mu Feng lowered Li Wenshu and knelt heavily...
