Chapter 6: An Immortal's Residence

Murong Gong approached Murong Yunhai with raging flames surrounding his body. He beats his son, Murong Yunhai until he'll admit his mistakes. He keeps smacking his son's face out of anger.

"You're very happy? You have good news?!"

Murong Yunhai was beaten by his father Murong Gong to death. "Stop hitting me Dad... Ah!" Murong Yunhai almost cried from the intense pain from the smacked he received.

The howl of pain continued for a whole stick of incense.

"You interrupted my cultivation. Did I wrong you in your past life?!" Murong Gong became very unhappy, and keeps slapping Murong Yunhai's face until he will feel satisfied.

Murong Xue and Zhang Qingxian was watching from the sideline. The two of them watch the father beats his own son, Murong Yunhai. And so they felt awkward watching the father and son are in conflict.

"Your grandfather doesn't seem very happy?" Zhang Qingxian awkwardly said to Murong Xue.

"I think... so, Father is the reason." Murong Xue responded.

"Dad!!!" Murong Yunhai called out to his father.

Murong Gong asked Murong Yunhai if the beating was not enough with a serious face. "You think I'm joking? Did I not hit you hard enough?"

"Don't be mad. Our sect found someone amazing. There's a senior that can help you breakthrough with ease! You can do it at will!"

Murong Yunhai's nose was blue and his face was swollen, but at the moment there was still a hint of pride on his face when talking to his father.

Unless a God descended from the heavens to help him be enlightened, even someone at the Mahayana Stage wouldn't be able to help him break through the bottleneck!

If it wasn't for Murong Gong's fear of beating Murong Yunhai, the only seedling to death, he would really beat him again.

Murong Gong sits down on the nearest rock, and said to Murong Yunhai with a frown expression, that he destroyed his chance to break through. Murong Gong couldn't help but curse.

"I had an amazing chance just now, but you ruined it!"

Murong Yunhai looked at Murong Gong, and knew that his father didn't believe him, so he made a bet with his father.

"Dad, you don't believe me? Why don't we make a bet? You dare?!" Murong Yunhai narrowed his eyes, shouted at his father with an annoyed face and dare to make a bet.

"Humph! Why wouldn't I dare? If you can even find someone from the Transcended Stage, you win!" Murong Gong said disdainfully.

"Alright! I bet ten thousand spirit crystals!" Murong Yunhai said solemnly with a excitement look on his face.

"I want it too. I bet ten thousand spirit crystals!" Zhang Qingxian also said quickly with dazzling face.

"I bet a thousand spirit crystals!" Murong Xue also join the their bet and said weakly.

Seeing the three of them like this, Murong Gong frowned slightly. "That's practically their whole fortune. They actually dare bet it all. Could it be real?" Murong Gong felt it kind of real and doubted his decision.

Murong Yunhai was afraid that his father would not gamble. And so Murong Yunhai's eyes lit up and said. "What? Are you chickening out?"

"Know your place! Lead the way!" Murong Gong was furious by his son's attitude and smacked him in the face.

Murong Yunhai was shivering from the intense pain he just received and his expressions turned pale.

Outside the Courtyard

Chen Ping, who had not eaten yet, went out of the courtyard and went to the vegetable market to buy vegetables. And not long after he left, four people suddenly appeared in front of the gate of the courtyard.

"We are here." Murong Yunhai said.

"This place? That's it?" Murong Gong looked at the ordinary courtyard in front of him and smiled disdainfully.

Murong Xue warned his grandfather to not recklessly say something that will disrespect Senior. "Grandfather, be careful with your words."

"That's right, don't say anything you shouldn't. Senior is cultivating himself by acting as a mortal right now. You have to remember to not talk about cultivation later." Murong Yunhai reminded his father with a worried look.

Murong Gong knew this place was an ordinary courtyard, he thinks it's ridiculous that his son actually said that immortals lived in it.

"Humph! Play of a liar! What a fool!" Murong Gong believed that his son was playing tricks on his own, and looked disdainful.

Murong Gong looked contemptuous and prepared to break into the courtyard.

"I want to see what this immortal looks like!" Murong Gong ignored his son's reminder and stepped directly into the courtyard.

Step!... Swoosh!

What happened was completely different from what Murong Yunhai thought!

"This..." Murong Gong had just stepped on the threshold, his eyes were already widened, and in the next moment countless powerful breaths all acted on him.

Bang!!!

After Murong Gong take a stepped inside the Senior's residence, he already felt an intense aura from all over his body, and fell to the ground restricting him from moving.

"Father!" Murong Yunhai was really worried about his father.

"Grandfather!" Murong Xue frowned worrying about his grandfather.

Murong Gong was kneeling down and couldn't even move. "Holy crap, this really is the residence of an immortal!"

"Uncle Murong!" Zhang Qingxian was also shocked when Murong Gong suddenly kneel down.

Just the aura alone is enough to stop him from moving. Murong Gong's body trembled involuntarily. It was like seeing something extremely terrifying existences.

"What kind of horrifying existences are these?!" Murong Gong was trembling in fear asked himself.

Then Murong Gong suddenly heard the sound of items flying by. The kitchen knife flew out of the room that was transform in a human form, with a terrifying aura preparing to strike him half.

"Kitchen knife, stop!" A voice sounded ordered to restrain himself.

As soon as the sound passed, the kitchen knife stopped immediately and was suspended in the air.

Woosh! Woosh! Boom!!! Woosh!

"That person is... the Senior's kitchen knife?" Murong Yunhai feel the massive amount of energy flowing through the kitchen knife's body.

"Kitchen knife? Could it be an artifact soul?" Seeing this powerful weapon stop before it hits his head inch away, Murong Gong was so frightened that he can't even move.

"Phoenix, this old man is clearly a bad guy at first glance. I have never seen him before. It should be fine to chop him up." Chopper said.

Also because of this voice, the shock in the hearts of Murong Gong has reached an unparalleled level.

"An artifact soul with such a high level of intelligence. It has to be beyond immortal weapon! And he called the chicken... phoenix?!"

Murong Gong was very terrified by the appearance of the two powerful existences.

"This old man is clearly an idiot. Aren't you worried you'll become an idiot too after cutting him up?" Phoenix said.

"What kind of place is this?!" Murong Gong asked himself with a terrified look.

Hearing the words, the kitchen knife seemed to look at Murong Gong, and then said. "That makes sense."

And so Chopper transform back to his previous form, and warned Murong Gong to better behave. "You! You'd better behave! Otherwise, I'll chop you up even if I'll turn stupid!"

"Yes..." Murong Gong can barely speak from the fear he never experienced.

After that, the kitchen knife flew back into the house. But Murong Gong was still kneeling on the ground, unable to move.

Seeing that he was rescued by the chicken, Murong Yunhai bowed respectfully to the chicken. "Divine Beast, thank you for helping me. I won't forget your kindness!"

"Humph!" The chicken look away.

Murong Gong was ignored and smiled bitterly.

The chicken glanced at the four of them and returned to the bottom of the peach tree, lying there motionless. The surroundings began to quieten down.

"Dad! Surely you believe me now. When are you giving us the spirit crystals?" Murong Yunhai said happily.

Hearing Murong Yunhai said that, Murong Gong was furious that Murong Yunhai are still thinking about the bet even his own father is suffering.

"You are mentioning this now! Lean a little closer." Murong Gong said angrily.

"What?" Murong Yunhai on the other hand was joyful and happily asked his father without knowing the situation.

"Your father almost died there! How could you take joy in my suffering?!" Murong Gong was furious and slapped his son's face from his intense anger.

And so he taste the pain of being tortured by the strong aura of this powerful beings, and to teach him a lesson that he will never forget.

Murong Xue had no choice but to look at his grandfather and said. "Grandfather, Senior doesn't seem to be home right now. Just hang in there. You should be able to get up when he comes back."

She was trying to make him calm down, and comfort him from his suffering

"My granddaughter is the best." Murong Gong was touched, and had a bitter look on his face, so he could only kneel quietly.

Fortunately, a moment later, a handsome young man was approaching with a basket in hand.

Chen Ping just returned shopping some vegetables to eat from the town. And when Chen Ping saw Zhang Qingxian and the others standing outside the door, he was shocked.

"Huh? Why are they back? I don't want to make tea anymore." Chen Ping felt that Zhang Qingxian and the others wanted to drink tea again!

Chen Ping somehow felt guilty when he saw them waiting at the entrance of his courtyard.

Chen Ping was speechless. "Should I go out and hide?"
