Jin Cheng read a letter several times, and every word in the letter weighed like a thousand pounds, pressing on his heart and making him panic.

Holding this yellowed letter paper and looking at the multiple round folds on the letterpaper, Jin Cheng knew that it was a tear stain, and he seemed to be able to feel his mother's reluctance to leave home and abandon her son, her despair for the future, and her determination to sacrifice herself to protect her son.

At the end of the letter, she still hoped that her son could save her from the sea of suffering, maybe she just wanted to see her son again in her lifetime, but she was worried that her son was not capable enough and would encounter accidents, and the mother's tangled mentality jumped on the paper.

Jin Cheng hated to go to the capital to find his mother immediately, but reason told him that he couldn't, he had heard Yang Ziyi say that there were seven hidden ancient martial arts families in the capital, and the Ni Shan who was saved some time ago was one of the juniors of the Ni family.

And according to Jin Cheng's guess, the Mu family is likely to be one of the seven, such a family is a congenital master, and its status is extremely lofty, so he dared to go forward, let alone save his mother, he couldn't even meet face-to-face, and it was even possible to throw away his life.

Although he is also a child of the Mu family, he is just an illegitimate child who is not recognized, maybe the Mu family chooses to let the illegitimate child disappear in order to save face, and it will be too late for him to cry when the time comes.

Strength, a qiē has to rely on strength to speak.

Jin Cheng had never been so eager to improve his strength, and the thought that his mother might be imprisoned in a dark dungeon and tortured made his heart twist.

No matter what, he must save his mother, he swore secretly.

Jin Cheng wanted to calm down and cultivate, at least to improve his cultivation to the late stage of Qi refining, so that he could barely talk to these big families, but at this moment, he couldn't control his feelings, his anger was rising, and he felt that his chest was about to explode, and if he didn't vent it, he would burn himself to death.

He came to the grove in the back mountain alone to practice his skills every day, and punched and kicked a thigh-thick pine tree, pouring all his anger on this imaginary enemy. The bark and wood chips were splashing, and after three minutes, the pine tree finally couldn't bear the heavy blow, "clicked", and broke into two at the waist.

Jin Cheng didn't stop, and continued to attack the stump, opening his two legs left and right, and soon the stump was only a short section.

"Okay, you really hid it and didn't let me wait for most of the night in vain." A voice sounded abruptly.

Jin Cheng turned his head suddenly, only to see a middle-aged man in white flash out from behind a big tree like a ghost under the moonlight.

Unexpectedly, being approached within thirty meters and not knowing, Jin Cheng's pupils contracted, a cold sweat appeared, his spirit became highly nervous, and he subconsciously let go of his divine sense and probed towards the other party. Such a result occurred, firstly, because the other party's strength surpassed him, and secondly, because his heart was filled with anger, so he lost his due vigilance.

"Let's talk! Contemptible Mu Gufeng, Jichang County Mu family, my Mu family is the first family in Jichang, you must have heard of it. The purpose of my visit today is to invite you to join the Mu family, and our Mu family will provide you with the best cultivation resources to help you quickly improve your cultivation. "The middle-aged man is about forty years old, and he can't see it in his cultivation, so it is estimated that he is at the middle level of dark energy. The tone of his speech was neither hurried nor slow, as if he was in control.

It is true that the middle-aged man observed the effect of Jin Cheng's all-out attack on the pine tree, and could roughly judge that Jin Cheng's cultivation was quite dark in the early stage, and he stabilized Jin Cheng in terms of strength, so he walked out generously, and he talked about it if he could, and if he couldn't talk about it, he had already made up his mind to take down Jin Cheng.

"What do I need to do to join the Mu family?" Jin Cheng had just attacked with a fierce attack, and his body was consumed, and he used conversation to recover his body, and it was also the purpose of probing the other party. This Mu Gufeng appeared too suddenly, as if he already knew his identity as a cultivator, which was what Jin Cheng was most nervous about.

The identity of his cultivator was only known to his father, Jin Changwen, and he believed that his father would not sue anyone, so how could this stranger know? How many people else know? Jin Cheng had a lot of questions, and he had to figure it out before he could make a decision.

"Don't tell lies in front of real people, I know that you are a cultivator, my Mu family has been looking for a cultivator for decades, and finally the emperor lives up to his wishes, let me Mu Gufeng find it first, as long as you share the cultivation method with my Mu family, it is easy to say, otherwise I will only take you down and force you to confess, which will hurt my feelings." Mu Gufeng put his hands behind his back and looked at Jin Cheng with an evil smile on his face.

Jin Cheng felt sick for no reason, shook his head in disgust and asked, "How do you know that I am a cultivator?" ”

"Do you remember that piece of broken iron? You didn't take it, but I could see the signs of movement. Although my Mu family didn't know what the name of that thing was, they knew that it was the material needed by the cultivators, so we cut it into more than a dozen pieces and cast bait and fish in various towns and villages in order to find the cultivators. There is a legend that there is an immortal cave mansion in the Miyun Mountain Range, and my Mu family believes that there will always be someone who will be inherited by chance, and our judgment has proved to be right. ”

"I asked the blacksmith owner who had moved the piece of iron? The shopkeeper mentioned you, but he didn't know you, and he said that you had ordered equipment for processing Chinese medicine in his shop, so I first checked the pharmacy on the street according to this clue, and found no qualification. Then I went to the health center to check, and there were only more than 20 village doctors in Xinqiao Town, and there were only a handful of young people in their early twenties, so I found you here today, it's as simple as that. Mu Gufeng said triumphantly, as if he felt sincere admiration for his intelligence.

"That means that no one but you knows that I am a cultivator." Jin Cheng said coldly, looking at Mu Gufeng's eyes was a little complicated, as if he had made some kind of decision.

"Yes, are you trying to kill me? Haha, as long as you have that ability, you can give it a try, but I want to sue you, once you force me to make a move, then I will definitely not show mercy, either you are crippled, or your cultivation is abolished, you have to think clearly. Mu Gufeng had a look of victory in his hand, and his tone was extremely relaxed, as if he was playing a game of cat and mouse.

"I've never hit the south wall or look back, so let me learn your Excellency's tricks! Come with me, it's too close to the village, and we'll climb over this hill to the other side of the mountain. After Jin Cheng finished speaking, he climbed up the mountain by himself.

"I said Brother Jin, is this necessary? If you want to escape, I dare say you don't have a chance to escape from under my nose, and even if you do, what about your family! Mu Gufeng followed behind unhurriedly, shaking his head and saying.

"Don't worry, I won't run away, but I advise you not to beat my family's idea, if you hurt them, I will destroy your Mu family." Jin Cheng's voice was cold, and his cold expression was like ten thousand years of ice, and the temperature of the air around him seemed to drop by several degrees at this moment.

Mu Gufeng, who was more than twenty meters away, was also moved by a chill, he was wondering if he had said something wrong, as if he had a feeling of emptiness.

Next, the two of them didn't say anything all the way, secretly quickened their pace, and ten minutes later, Jin Cheng came to the "Immortal Cave" and went into the cave on one side.

Mu Gufeng, who was following behind, hurriedly quickened his pace, chased after the entrance of the cave, leaned over and looked into the cave, only to see Jin Cheng standing there coldly in the cave, staring coldly at Mu Gufeng at the entrance of the cave.

Mu Gufeng stood on it and looked at the terrain in the cave, there was nothing special, an empty cave hall, all the corners could be seen at a glance, it was impossible to hide other people here. What surprised Mu Gufeng was that in just two minutes, Jin Cheng had already lit torches far away, and although the firelight was not very bright, he could see the scene in the cave clearly. He walked down the steps slowly, keeping an eye on his steps while carefully guarding against Jin Cheng's sneak attack.

When Mu Gufeng stepped on the flat ground, Jin Cheng also slowly moved towards Mu Gufeng, and every step he took was very calm, and the spacing of his steps was as accurate as if he had measured it with a ruler. Mu Gufeng also did not show weakness, running the internal qi of his whole body, pouring it into his limbs, and the whole person was like a bow and arrow ready to attack, as long as there was a chance, he would launch a fatal attack.

Mu Gufeng had a breezy expression, as if he didn't take Jin Cheng in his eyes at all, but this was all an appearance, in fact, Mu Gufeng's whole body muscles were tense, and when the two were within ten meters of each other, the smile on his face was a little stiff. The first time he encountered a cultivator, although he was confident that his strength was stable against the opponent, he was not to lose his caution, and the lion fought the rabbit with all his strength, not to mention that the opponent was a legendary quasi-immortal.

Mu Gufeng has rich experience in actual combat, how could he make such a low-level mistake of belittling the opponent, the appearance of fiction and reality is used to confuse the opponent.
