I was reborn after cheating on the aloof and powerful man.

Chapter 178 Father and Son 1

A tiger roared and the wind howled; the fierce and powerful fist, accompanied by the sound of air being torn apart, struck the mysterious man's face.

The hard, golden four-eyed mask shattered into pieces instantly under this punch.

The mysterious man was no pushover either. Although he was startled by Fei Xi's words, which gave the old man an opportunity to take advantage of him.

But when he sensed something was wrong, his body reacted faster than his mind. He took a step back, thus narrowly escaping the Tiger Roar Fist.

The old man's first strike only hit the mask. As he prepared to counter with his next attack, his hand was still moving forward, but his feet moved in a flash, instantly appearing behind Tang Huaiyi.

A sneak attack followed by a quick escape—how thrilling!

The mysterious man's palm strike faltered, and he cursed the other party inwardly for being shameless.

But as the old man retreated, the mysterious man's mask fell off, and an unavoidable sword aura left him no time to pay attention to anything else.

The sword energy, like a rainbow, with its chilling aura carrying the murderous intent of heaven and earth, barely stopped in mid-air.

Amidst the swordsman's incredulous voice, Fei Xi heard a name that should have been enshrined in a shrine atop the misty Qingcheng Mountain.

"Lu Yun Chu?!"

His face was dark, with sword-like eyebrows that reached his temples, and large, bright eyes. Even though the years had etched lines around his eyes, one would still be drawn to the gleam in them at first glance.

His head of silver hair was tied up high, and his face, which was not yet covered with wrinkles, seemed to still retain a trace of the youthful spirit that had long since passed away. His thin lips were pursed, as if he was very dissatisfied with Bian Yuan for revealing his identity.

But what caught Fei Xi's attention most was a scar on the man's high cheekbone forehead, shaped like an X by a sharp weapon.

While others were still wondering who Lu Yun Chu was and why Bian Yuan had suddenly stopped,

Suddenly, the earth trembled violently, and the sky quickly darkened. Everyone instinctively looked up, and a colossal wave, obscuring the sky and the sun, appeared above them, crossing the long line of ocean waves.

"No, Master!!!"

A piercing female scream accompanied by seawater filling her mouth and nose.

Before she could turn back, in the last moment before she lost consciousness, Fei Xi saw her legendary senior brother with a meaningful smile on his face.

……

"Is your master really here? How much longer do we have to walk?"

"You're so annoying! You've asked me that dozens of times, dozens of times! I don't want to answer anymore. I'll say it one last time, we'll be there soon!"

The pretty woman in yellow had her sweet face contorted in a rage for the first time. If it weren't for her concern for her master's safety, she would have loved to succumb to her furious rebellious impulse and simply walk away.

"But just an hour ago, you said you'd be there soon..."

After silently repeating "Don't get angry, getting angry will hurt you" several times in her heart, the woman in yellow secretly glanced at the man behind her.

Upon meeting her calm, unwavering gaze, the woman in yellow, her hands trembling with fear, held back her urge to strike. Gritting her teeth, the woman in yellow, too afraid to act, could only continue to shout:

"Ugh, shut up! Don't ask me anymore, or I'm not going at all!"

Feeling disliked, Mu Qingfeng pouted. She had only asked Yi Dian Dian a few questions, so what was there to be angry about?

But seeing the yellow-clad woman's blazing fury, Mu Qingfeng, driven by a strong will to survive, shut her mouth and turned to tug at her senior brother's sleeve:

"Senior Brother Ji, you just said that Senior Sister is also up ahead, right?"

"Yes, didn't you see? There are marks left by Senior Sister everywhere along the way."

“I know… but somehow, my heart has been pounding since this morning. I have a feeling that something bad has happened.”

Her beautiful face was bowed, and her silent expression betrayed a hint of unease. Just as Mu Qingfeng was about to shake her head to dispel the unpleasant feeling, a warm hand appeared above her head.

"Don't worry, everything will be alright." No matter who you're worried about.

Mu Qingfeng seemed startled and suddenly stepped back, avoiding Ji Zhongxuan's hand.

She then realized her reaction was a bit strange, and forced a smile.

"Yes, yes, Senior Sister is blessed with good fortune, she will definitely be alright! Senior Brother, let's hurry and catch up with Sister Shishu."

Not far away, Shi Shu clenched his fists, veins bulging on his forehead, and waved at them through gritted teeth.

This woman is the one who urged her on, and now she's whispering to herself, and she's the one who's fallen behind. I really want to punch her!

"It's right in front!"

Shi Shu pushed aside the branches and leaves that were blocking her view, preparing to continue forward.

After taking in the scenery before him, he hesitated to take the next step.

"What's wrong? Sister Shishu, why aren't you leaving?"

Mu Qingfeng pushed aside the branches of the tree, passing Shi Shu.

Ahead was a patch of bushes about waist-high, and further ahead was a rocky platform that was somewhat elevated.

On the stone platform stood a person with an ethereal and otherworldly appearance.

"Senior Xiao!" Mu Qingfeng exclaimed joyfully as she rushed to the stone platform.

"You are... Miss Mu, Lin Xueqin, and Young Hero Ji. Why have you come here?" With a furrowed brow and a melancholy expression, Bao Yi Zhenjun was also surprised by the arrival of Mu Qingfeng and the other two.

Ji Zhongxuan clasped his hands in a salute and stood aside. Mu Qingfeng and Shishu, unable to contain themselves, recounted the events in turn.

“Grandmaster Xiao, did you see the master? I’m sure I didn’t go to the wrong place, but this place is completely different from what I saw before. I remember there were many boulders in this area, and there was a cave in front of it. When a group of undead attacked us, I saw the master go into the cave when he saw us leave.”

“I’m a step too late. There was a waterspout here just now. I’m not sure if Xiao Yuan was caught in it.”

"A waterspout? Isn't that something that only happens in the sea? How did it end up here?"

"I'm looking for the cause. My initial guess is that it might be caused by an explosion or changes in the formation. There used to be a small hill in front of it."

"So, I really didn't go the wrong way after all!" Shi Shu, who had just been doubting that she had led the wrong way, was only happy for a second before her face fell again.

"The cave was blown up, but where did the master go? Master Xiao, speaking of which, how did you end up here?"

"It's alright to tell you. I'm here to find Xiao Yuan on the instructions of Peak Master Lian."

"Peak Master Lian has emerged from seclusion? That traitor! If it weren't for him, Master wouldn't be missing! So what if he's Peak Master Lian's son? He has to pay the price for his mistakes." Shi Shu cursed angrily, but when she met Xiao Jianshan's tolerant gaze, she became somewhat shy.

“Grandmaster Xiao, my parents and the clan leader have always said that Shi Mo is better than me since I was a child. But I don’t think I’m any worse than them. Even Du Han deceived Shi Mo with just a few words, making him think that he was just being misled and that’s why he betrayed Tian Shan. But I don’t believe it. This traitor didn’t want to betray Tian Shan from the beginning, he wanted to betray our master.”

"He will definitely betray his master!"

Her stubborn eyes were crystal clear; the purer and cleaner they were, the less one wanted to disturb them.

Xiao Jianshan sighed.

"I've only been here a short time. You can come with me here and search around."

Unable to join their conversation and barely understanding it, Mu Qingfeng grabbed Ji Zhongxuan's hand and began searching around.

Before an incense stick could burn for a second, a shout from the southwest suddenly came:

"Senior Xiao, Sister Shishu, come quickly and see who this person is!"

The tough man lying on the ground had a resolute look in his eyes, which were as sharp as if carved by a knife. His brows were furrowed, his eyes were closed, his right foot was empty, and his whole body was covered in blood as if he had been dragged out of a pool of blood.
