Chapter 13 I Can’t Stand the Cruel Oppression Anymore!

Zhong Bancheng was a fierce assault-type spiritualist, so most of his attacks could hardly be resisted. Ronghua dodged his attack everywhere, and it became even more difficult carrying Xia Pumo.

People of the imperial clan of Zither saw their companion being attacked so hardly by others. “Although he had been driven out, he also belonged to our imperial clan, and his noble identity couldn’t be ignored. How could they let such a fellow lose their face?” They thought.

“Zhong Bancheng, you are simply too insulting.” People of the imperial clan of Zither cried out. Then they all fought back. Ronghua saw that they had solved the problem for her.

“I could have evaded his attack, but now it is a bit troublesome carrying Xia Pumo,” Ronghua thought.

Now the attack from Zhong Bancheng was interrupted, so Ronghua took Xia Pumo to fly to the top of a tree.

“It’s amazing,” said Xia Pumo. If he didn’t see that just now, he wouldn’t believe it. Under the speedy and fierce attack of Zhong Bancheng, even if one could escape, it would still be challenging and risky, not to mention Ronghua still carrying a man. If she didn’t have high spiritual power, he couldn’t think of another reason why she was so powerful.

“If I take you into the mysterious territory, would you like to serve me?” Ronghua asked.

Xia Pumo froze and asked, “Why do you say so?”

Xia Pumo recognized that Ronghua was not an ordinary person. She could hide her cultivation and protect others from other people’s attacks. Facing such a large cluster of Evil Beasts, even if the top characters of the significant imperial clans came, they might be hesitant to fight back. But she was calm. If she was not afraid, then she must have extraordinary power.

“Don’t you want to bring someone back to life?” Ronghua asked.

These words were like a bomb. “What… what did you say?” Xia Pumo asked.

Ronghua looked into his eyes and said, “It’s impossible to cure your legs with your strength. After such a long time, you can’t be cured. Now you are still high in cultivation, on which you depend to break into the mysterious territory and hope to find a way to revive someone, right?”

Xia Pumo’s lips moved, and he was trembling. He said, “Miss, if you help me, I will do everything for you to repay for your kindness.”

Ronghua knew that now Xia Pumo thought he had grasped the life-saving straw and could not let it go. She put her index finger on her lips and seemed to be satisfied with the situation.

“Xia Pumo!” A very discordant voice interjected, extremely irascible. It was Zhong Bancheng who was defeated just now. Now he must be furious because of Xia Pumo, but Xia Pumo did nothing at all.

Xia Pumo turned around and asked, “What’s the matter?” Ronghua looked at him and found that he turned into a poker face again. As expected, he would be expressive only when things related to Murong Zhe.

“Today, I have to break your other leg and make you completely lame.” Zhong Bancheng cried with rage. At the same time, a ball of fire had gathered in his hand.

Seeing so, Xia Pumo came forward to pick up the zither and prepared to fight.

People of the imperial clan of Zither looked at Xia Pumo, who was in a stalemate. They wondered whether they should take action because the patriarch said no matter what happened to Xia Pumo, they were not allowed to save him when they came out, even if he was dying. Although these words were callous, they still dared not disobey the orders of the patriarch.

With the roar of Zhong Bancheng, the fireball came. Xia Pumo felt a little scared; however, there was no way but to fight.

Suddenly, Ronghua said from behind, “If you promise me, I will help you.”

He pondered for a while, then resolutely agreed. Since he had chosen this path, there’s no need to concern about accepting one more charge.

“Okay.” He answered firmly, “If Miss helps me, I will do anything for you.”

Ronghua smiled and was very satisfied. Although she took advantage of Xia Pumo’s perilous state, this method worked well.

Ronghua said, “Ronghua.”

Xia Pumo’s eyes were full of doubts. He said, “What?”

Ronghua raised her hand to the fireball and said with a smile, “My name.”

Over their heads, there was a big bird on which sat two men. They looked down at the people who were fighting and discussed with each other.

“Which side do you think will be the winner?” The woman asked.

The man behind her looked down and said, “I don’t know who will be the winner. All I know is that your aunt Shu may already know that she has been cheated. She may have come. If we don’t go, we can’t get into the mysterious territory .”

Lingxi looked back and stared at him. She yelled, “Well, then why not hurry, Beiming Jin?”

Beiming Jin looked at her and thought it was funny. Maybe only when she was angry could she remember his name.

Beiming Jin said, “Sit well!”

They stopped staying and left with the big bird! The people below saw that someone had left, fearing that there’s not enough time for them to enter the mysterious territory, so they went one after another. As they left, they did not forget to remind the rest of the people, “Zhong Bancheng, if you don’t leave now, you can’t get into the mysterious territory!”

They ironically laughed after they finished their words.

Zhong Bancheng’s fireballs were not only blocked by Ronghua, but it also bounced back to him. Fortunately, there were not many of them. Zhong Bancheng was angry and said bitterly, “Xia Pumo, don’t want to leave the mysterious territory after you get into it.”

Then he released the flying beast from the space and left here with a group of people.

After they left, Xia Pumo’s tight body got relaxed, and he was relieved.

“They’re gone, so shall we…” said Xia Pumo.

“Are you okay?” Ronghua interrupted him.

“I … I’m okay. What’s the matter?” Xia Pumo said.

Ronghua got released and said, “That’s alright!”

Then Ronghua held him and said, “Let’s go!”

Before he could react, he felt a sharp pain, as if all his organs were torn apart, and it was difficult to breathe. He was dizzy and tired, and soon closed his eyes and went to sleep.

In the dream, he went back to the imperial clan of Zither. At that time, he was still the respected second son of the imperial clan of Zither. Everyone feared him and was afraid and jealous of him, but they simply couldn’t do anything to him. Even if he was only an illegitimate child of the patriarch, his noble identity couldn’t be ignored, and his eldest brother protected him. Although his father did not like him, he knew what he should do and what he should not do according to the rules of the imperial clan every day.

Gradually, he became silent until Murong Zhe came, the son of the master of the patriarch.

He was out of line with the people in the imperial clan of Zither. He sneaked around, did terrible things, and played tricks on others. He could neither be punished nor scolded because of his noble identity, so all people paid close attention to him. Xia Pumo could have refused to take care of him, but his brother said that if it were done, maybe his father would be pleased. Finally, he agreed.

At first, everything was okay. Later, Xia Pumo almost forgot all his knowledge of kung fu skills. They quarreled every day. Murong Zhe was punished and had to copy books by hand when he did something wrong. Instead, he either slept or read pornography and place it in front of Xia Pumo.

One day, Xia Pumo couldn’t help but fight with him. Unexpectedly, Murong Zhe’s cultivation was so good that he could still compete with Xia Pumo, even though he only cared about playing and didn’t practice every day. After the fight, Murong Zhe pulled Xia Pumo into his arms to tease him. He was so angry that he ignored him for a few days.

Later, he heard that in those days when he didn’t supervise Murong Zhe, he carefully copied books in the book-collection chamber.

As the second son of the imperial clan of Zither, he certainly had to fight in the competition in military skills among imperial clans. However, he met the deadly foe of his clan—the imperial clan of Sword. They sent Ge Danman, who was good at using her self-worth. Fortunately, he won at last, but by a narrow margin.

Unexpectedly, this Ge Danman was a narrow-minded woman. After the competition, Xia Pumo was besieged by a gang of people. At that time, he was still young, so it was very tough for him to beat one person, let alone so many people who had a higher cultivation than him. After being defeated, he got injured all over and was locked in the water dungeon for five days.

After being rescued, he almost died.

In those days, the whole imperial clan had been working tirelessly for him.

He woke up after a month. He didn’t know how he survived. He only knew that after he woke up, someone told him that Murong Zhe had been possessed by the demon.
