Chapter 956

"Do you know Liu En?" the young man asked Liu Meng as he entered the room.

Liu Meng nodded and immediately said, "Yes, yes, he is my younger brother. He was a cultivator and was very strong. I heard that he was in the Primal Core Realm."

"Where is he?" Hearing this, everyone's expression changed.

"He," Liu Meng's expression turned gloomy, "is dead."

"Dead? Who killed him?"

They looked at each other and saw the confusion in each other's eyes. Liu En was a Primal Core Realm cultivator. Although he was in the middle stage of the Primal Core Realm, in this place where there were no cultivators, he was undoubtedly a real immortal. But he was killed by someone. This was very strange.

"By a guy who could turn stone into gold. He killed my younger brother and my son."

Then, Liu Meng clenched his teeth and told them what happened that day. Of course, the version he told was based on what his son said.

The general idea was that his son went to buy monkeys, but was seduced and blackmailed. Then, he was beaten. Liu En, as his uncle, went to seek justice, but he never returned.

Liu Meng cried his heart out. The pain of losing his son made him send his son off.

The others listened with disdain. After asking for the location of Zhang Village, they walked towards it.

On the way to Zhang Village, a cultivator said, "Young Master, the situation should be clear. Liu En found the Mortal Essence Fruit and told us. Coincidentally, he found that this place was not far from his home, so he went back. After a few days, he was about to leave when he saw his nephew being beaten up. He went to get back at him, but he was not strong enough. He did not get back at him and even lost his life."

The young man in the flaming robe nodded and said, "What you mean is that Liu En's death was an accident, and we don't have to get involved in this mess, right?"

The cultivator quickly shook his head and said, "Not really, but I don't think it's necessary. I think finding the Mortal Essence Fruit is the most important thing."

"The Mortal Essence Fruit is indeed important. But don't you find it strange that in this place where mortals live, there is someone who can kill a Primal Core Realm cultivator?" The young man sneered.

The cultivator's expression changed. "Could it be that he is also here for the Mortal Essence Fruit?"

"Let's go and see."

Once they arrived at Zhang Village, they would naturally be able to find the cultivator with the Midas Touch.

Seeing the five Immortals floating in the sky above the village, the villagers of Zhang Village were all stunned. When they saw the five of them heading straight for Old Zhang's house, their expressions immediately became complicated.

When the five of them arrived, Old Zhang was sitting in the courtyard drinking tea with the Village Chief. Since he was well-off, Old Zhang naturally learned how to enjoy life. However, the things he bought were all trash, not as good as the Village Chief's. When Old Zhang saw the five of them in the air, his face immediately changed. On the other hand, the Village Chief glanced at the five of them indifferently.

Bing 'er had brought Zi Chen to the river to catch fish, and was not here.

"You're the one who killed Liu En." The young man looked around before his gaze landed on the Village Chief. It seemed that he was the only cultivator here.

"Liu En? Which Liu En?" Zhang Feng asked calmly.

The young man frowned.

"Oh, you're talking about the one who stood up for the Liu Clan, right? His name is Liu En, and he's indeed a member of the Liu Clan. He doesn't distinguish between good and evil, and oppresses mortals. Why, are you here to stand up for him?" Zhang Feng asked.

"Do you know who you've killed?" The young man did not answer the question.

The Village Chief shook his head and said, "I know. A guy with a bad character can be called the scum of the cultivators."

A ray of light flashed in the young man's eyes. The four people beside him were already prepared to attack. Once the young man spoke, the four of them would definitely kill the old man with lightning speed.

The young man naturally did not come here to stand up for Liu En, but to see the details of the other party. However, when he saw that the other party was an old man, he was more or less puzzled because the old man's Qi and blood were not vigorous. Although his realm was at the peak, he had been in a bottleneck for many years. It looked like he was waiting for death here instead of snatching the Mortal Vitality Fruit.

He had no intention of paying attention to such a dying old man, and the other party was not a threat to him.

At this moment, Bing 'er's voice came from afar. It was Bing' er who had brought Zi Chen back. Beside them was Little Baihu, who had grown up a lot. She was carrying two big fish in her hands.

She had a proud smile on her face and said, "Little Baihu, you're amazing. It's your first time out and you can catch big fish. I'll give you the fish head and bones later."

In the air, the five of them saw Zi Chen and his companion, as well as the little white fox. The little white fox was a rare spirit fox. If there was a way to cultivate, it could become a spirit beast. As for how far it could grow, it was hard to predict. As the five of them were all in the Inner Core Realm, they were not far from the Mortal Realm. Naturally, they would not put a spirit fox in their eyes. The little girl was just a mortal with some talent. If there were enough resources, she could reach a certain level. However, her talent was average, so no one would be willing to spend so many resources on her.

The last one was the young man. His body was not strong, but his Qi and blood were vigorous. He was like a dormant beast. However, his spiritual sense was damaged, and his mind was in a mess. His eyes were dull, like a fool. Abdomen did not have a trace of Yuanli, so he did not look like a cultivator.

The little girl was startled when she saw the figures in the air, but she still ran to the front of the mortal old man. The dull cultivator also stood in front of the little girl, protecting them.

"Looks like you killed Liu En." The young man looked at Zi Chen and said, because Liu Meng said it was done by a stupid cultivator.

Zi Chen reached out to protect the two people behind him, and did not answer.

"Young master, this is a fool. He won't understand you even if you talk to him." A cultivator next to him said.

"Little Dumb is not stupid." Bing 'er gathered her courage and said loudly.

"Little Dumb is not stupid." The others laughed.

Zhang Feng frowned and said, "If you are not here to help Liu En, please leave."

The young man looked at the two deeply and said with a smile, "A fool and a dying man hiding in a mortal world. Interesting."

"Young master, what about us?" A cultivator next to him asked.

"Let's go. Do you want us to lower ourselves to the level of a fool? As for Liu En, he was killed by a fool. He deserved it."

After saying that, the five of them turned and left.

Seeing the five of them leave, the old man's indifferent expression disappeared, and he took a deep breath.

After leaving Zhang Village, a cultivator asked, "Young master, is there a problem with them?"

The young man sneered, "What problem can there be?"

"That fool, he really killed Liu En." The cultivator asked.

"Do you believe it?" The young man asked, and then looked at the others, "Do you believe that Liu En was killed by that fool?"

The others shook their heads, and one of them said, "How is that possible? That fool obviously suffered some kind of serious injury and did not die. He has no strength at all. If he could really kill Liu En, how strong would he be?"

"Could it be that he was not killed by the fool?" Another person asked.

The young man said, "I think it was that dying old man who killed him."

"It was him, but many people saw it was the fool who killed him, and it was the fool who turned stone into gold."

The young man laughed, and there was a trace of disdain on his face, and said, "How can mere mortals understand the world of cultivators? How can they believe what they saw with their own eyes?"

"That's right, any Camouflage Art can fool them." The others were relieved.

"That's just one of the reasons. Didn't you notice who was drinking tea with the old man?"

"It's another old man."

Such an answer made the young man's mouth twitch, and he emphasized, "It's a mortal old man. Look at the two of them sitting together happily, and the other party's stunned expression after that. Obviously, they don't know that the other party is a cultivator, so that old man has been hiding it. That's why he killed Liu En to hide it."

The others nodded, and they secretly praised the young man's wisdom and insight.

Old Zhang did not expect the village chief of Zhang Village to be a cultivator, and an extremely powerful one at that. Sitting together with the other party made him feel like he was sitting on pins and needles, and he could not sit still.

Zhang Feng smiled and said, "Old Zhang, there's no need to be like this. You and I will be like before, and I don't want others to know about this."

Old Zhang's mind was shaken, and it took him a long time to calm down, and he nodded.

At night, Zi Chen woke up, and Zhang Feng appeared in Zi Chen's room like a ghost. He said to Zi Chen, who had just woken up, "You've seen what happened during the day. These are only a part of the people. They already know the general direction of the Mortal Essence Fruit, and I believe that it won't be long before they find it."

Zi Chen looked at Zhang Feng and said, "There are only five of them. I don't believe that you can't kill them."

Zhang Feng sighed and said, "The appearance of the Mortal Essence Fruit will trigger the power of rules, and it will cause a big commotion. If it were any other time, I would naturally kill them, but the situation now is that there are many cultivators here. Once the Mortal Essence Fruit appears, it will definitely attract their attention. Killing them to silence them is only temporary, but the backlash will be greater, and it might even involve many powerful cultivators."

"How long do you need to recover?"

"Soon."

Zhang Feng said, "Recover as soon as possible, and then we need to guard the Mortal Essence Fruit and occupy a place first."

Zi Chen nodded, and Zhang Feng left, not bothering him.

The white fox was sleeping together with Bing 'er. It was an extremely intelligent little guy.

"Now, I'll teach you a set of cultivation techniques. Cultivate diligently."

Suddenly, the white fox heard a faint voice in its sleep. It raised its head and looked around, but there was nothing around it.

"Remember the circulation path of this energy."

The faint voice sounded again, and then a stream of energy appeared in the empty area. It then entered the white fox's body and wandered around. A light flashed in the white fox's small eyes, and then it closed its eyes to feel the circulation path of this energy.

In the outside world, the white fox was sleeping even more soundly.

At the same time, a faintly discernible voice rang out in Bing'er's sea of consciousness. This voice interrupted Bing'er's beautiful dream, causing her to pout in dissatisfaction. However, her curiosity towards cultivation soon dispelled this dissatisfaction.

The cultivation technique that Zi Chen taught Bing 'er was considered a top-notch one, but it was not a perfect one. This was because her potential was limited. If she cultivated a perfect cultivation technique, her progress would be much slower, and she would hit a bottleneck early.
