Inside the Law Enforcement Hall's Punishment Chamber, Cheng Fei looked at Cheng Hou with heartache. Cheng Hou had just suffered a hundred strikes from the Law Enforcement Staff, leaving him covered in wounds and barely breathing, with only a sliver of spiritual energy keeping him from dying.
Cheng Fei waved his large hand, and a medicinal pill appeared in his palm. He looked at the pill, a hint of hesitation flashing in his eyes, but he ultimately cast aside this hesitation and injected the Saint-level pill, which had taken him thousands of years to refine, into Cheng Hou's body.
This pill was called the Saint Yuan Pill, and he had been saving it to break through the bottleneck of the Saint Realm's peak. However, his cultivation had been stuck at the eighth level of the Saint Realm for a long time, and he didn't know how long it would take to break through to the peak.
Besides helping to break through bottlenecks, the Saint Yuan Pill could also heal injuries, reshape meridians, and cleanse the marrow for cultivators below the Saint Realm, further improving their cultivation talent.
Cheng Fei watched as Cheng Hou gradually absorbed the medicinal power of the Saint Yuan Pill, a trace of reminiscence flashing in his eyes.
"You really look a lot like your mother..." Cheng Fei murmured.
Hidden within Cheng Fei's heart was a huge secret, a secret that, if known, would leave him with no place in the Heavenly Xuan Sword Sect.
He was not Cheng Hou's uncle, but Cheng Hou's biological father. If outsiders were to find out, he would be branded with the crime of seducing his brother's wife. As the elder of Blood Drink Peak and the Law Enforcement Hall, he couldn't have any blemishes on his reputation, no matter how selfish he was, or else Blade Master of Heartbreak wouldn't let him off first.
Therefore, whether for his own future or for Cheng Hou's, he never revealed the true relationship between him and Cheng Hou, and publicly claimed that they were just uncle and nephew.
"Cough cough..."
Soon, under the powerful medicinal power of the Saint Yuan Pill, Cheng Hou's injuries healed visibly, and his cultivation continued to rise. Soon, Cheng Hou's cultivation improved from the seventh level of the Entering Saint Realm to the peak of the Entering Saint Realm, only one step away from reaching the Carefree Realm.
Cheng Hou opened his eyes and felt the changes in his body. He looked at Cheng Fei in surprise and said, "Uncle, what's going on with me?"
Seeing that Cheng Hou had recovered, Cheng Fei told him about the Saint Yuan Pill.
"Uncle, you gave me the Saint Yuan Pill, what about you?" Cheng Hou asked quickly.
Cheng Fei was very satisfied that Cheng Hou cared about him. He smiled and said, "It's okay, I don't know when I will be able to break through to the peak of the Saint Realm. It's useless for me to keep this Saint Yuan Pill. There will be time to find medicinal materials to refine it in the future. You, on the other hand, if you don't want to waste the Saint Yuan Pill, then you should cultivate hard for me in the future and strive to become a Saint as soon as possible, understand?"
Cheng Hou said gratefully, "Don't worry, uncle, I will definitely not let you down. It's just..."
"Just what?" Cheng Fei frowned.
Cheng Hou quickly shook his head and said, "It's nothing, it's just that this hundred strikes from the Law Enforcement Staff were ultimately because of Lu Chengfeng and that little girl named Gu Huaiyu. If I don't avenge this, I will always feel like I have a fishbone stuck in my throat. How can I cultivate with peace of mind?"
When Cheng Fei heard this, he felt that what Cheng Hou said made sense. If a cultivator's heart is not clear, it is easy to become possessed when breaking through.
"Don't worry about this. Lu Chengfeng is overestimating herself by daring to climb the Heavenly Ladder. What is the Heavenly Ladder? Even the Peak Master didn't succeed back then and suffered serious injuries. Lu Chengfeng is just a Carefree Realm cultivator. Even if she doesn't die this time, she will have to suffer a great loss of vitality."
"As for that little girl named Gu Huaiyu, this is not easy to handle."
Speaking of Gu Huaiyu, Cheng Fei was also at a loss.
"What's wrong?" Cheng Hou asked quickly.
"Isn't it because of you?" Cheng Fei glared at Cheng Hou, "You dared to hide the fact that the whetstone was broken."
"Uncle, I know I was wrong." Cheng Hou shrank his neck.
"What was wrong?" Cheng Fei asked.
"I..."
"Humph!" Cheng Fei snorted coldly and said, "You were wrong for not telling me about it earlier, otherwise I could have done something about it. In the end, it's still because your attitude towards the people around you is not good enough, otherwise they wouldn't have told Rong Bing about the whetstone being broken."
"Uncle, are you saying that I was betrayed?" Cheng Hou asked in surprise.
"Humph, excluding the people from Xuanbei City who informed, who else do you think would tell Rong Bing about this?" Cheng Fei snorted coldly, feeling a little disappointed with Cheng Hou's way of dealing with people, but who told Cheng Hou to be his only son? He could only teach him slowly.
"So it was them, I'll remember this." Cheng Hou immediately thought of Junior Brother Yu and the other two.
"Fool." Cheng Fei scolded.
Cheng Hou looked at Cheng Fei in confusion. Cheng Fei said, "Not only can you not pursue this matter, but you also have to apologize to them both."
"Uncle, I don't understand." Cheng Fei really didn't understand why he couldn't pursue the matter after being betrayed, and even had to apologize to them. What kind of logic was this?
Cheng Fei sighed again in his heart. He had always doted on Cheng Hou before, which had fostered his arrogant personality.
Cheng Fei said, "Do you know why Rong Bing only made you receive a hundred strikes from the Law Enforcement Staff after you hid this matter?"
"Uncle, isn't a hundred strikes from the Law Enforcement Staff enough? I almost lost my life." Cheng Hou said with a wry smile.
Cheng Fei shook his head and said, "Rong Bing only made you receive a hundred strikes from the Law Enforcement Staff because of my reputation. If it were Yu Chenghuan and Fu Fei, there would only be a dead end."
Cheng Hou's face changed, and he opened his mouth to speak, but Cheng Fei continued, "They are not you. If they were discovered to have concealed something, there would only be a dead end. Do you understand now?"
Cheng Hou nodded and said, "Uncle, I understand. Those two guys are just afraid of death."
Cheng Fei almost fell when he heard this. He looked at Cheng Hou, sighed, and said, "Forget it, anyway, you must not pursue this matter, and you must apologize to them, understand?"
Cheng Hou didn't dare to disobey Cheng Fei's words and nodded quickly, but only he knew what he was thinking in his heart.
"By the way, uncle, what about Gu Huaiyu..."
Cheng Hou still couldn't forget about Gu Huaiyu. He still said that he was no match for Lu Chengfeng now, and he could only curse Lu Chengfeng to die in the Heavenly Ladder, but Gu Huaiyu was just a Condensing Spirit Realm cultivator, and he couldn't tolerate having to endure an ant-like existence.
Cheng Fei naturally knew what Cheng Hou was thinking. He said, "Don't act rashly on this matter. That little girl has already entered the eyes of the sect's higher-ups. The purple light phenomenon, and she even shattered the whetstone. With such talent, I'm afraid even the Peak Master can't sit still."
Cheng Hou's face changed. The Peak Master in his uncle's mouth was naturally the Blood Drink Blade Master of their Blood Drink Peak. If Gu Huaiyu was accepted as a disciple by the Blood Drink Blade Master, then her status in Blood Drink Peak would be higher than his. If he wanted to take revenge, it would be extremely difficult.
Although Cheng Hou called the Blood Drink Blade Master 'Master', other than Rong Bing and a few other talented people who were the Blood Drink Blade Master's personal disciples, everyone else was just the Blood Drink Blade Master's nominal disciples. The gap between nominal disciples and personal disciples was naturally very large.
"Hehe, don't worry, I think that little girl has a very firm will. I don't know what kind of bewitching soup Lu Chengfeng gave her to make her determined to join Heartbreak Peak. As long as she doesn't join other peaks, as long as she is still in Heartbreak Peak, then no matter how high her talent is, it will be easy to deal with her."
"But don't worry these few days, everything will be revealed after the Heavenly Ladder ends."
"Also, you must tell me about anything in the future, don't be as passive as you are today."
Cheng Fei said earnestly.
Cheng Hou nodded.
"Uncle, I understand."
......
At the same time, inside the Heavenly Ladder world, Lu Chengfeng was looking at the figure in front of her with a shocked expression.
"Senior, why are you here?"
......
