Chapter 68 Cause and Effect

As Xuan Zhen spoke leisurely, an old story entered everyone's ears like a story.

The cause of death of the previous life's father also gradually surfaced.

It turned out that Xuan Zhen and Chu Feng had known each other more than 20 years ago. At that time, Xuan Zhen was just a young Taoist priest who had just started practicing, and Chu Feng had just taken over the theater. The two met on the way to Chu Feng's performance.

Later, because the Guman and Xiayang dynasties often went to war, it also attracted many patriotic people to step onto the battlefield to defend their country while honing themselves.

Xuan Zhen and Chu Feng also met Wang Hong and Qu Youzhi on the battlefield. During that time, the four of them helped each other, were in high spirits, and their friendship grew deeper.

Later, when the war ended, the four of them returned to their respective places of life. Coincidentally, Wang Hong's family also moved to Yong'an Town at this time, so Chu Feng and Wang Hong were able to meet often.

What no one expected was that Qu Youzhi concealed the fact from them that he was not practicing the righteous martial arts, but the evil ones. He did not make friends with a few people, but his original target was Chu Feng, who was also a cultivator of the Xi family. He just wanted to obtain the Chu family's inherited martial arts.

For a period of time, Qu Youzhi even lived in the theater in order to gather information. Wang Hong discovered something at that time and tried to persuade Chu Feng, but Chu Feng declined.

Later, Qu Youzhi disappeared for a while. When he came back, he found Chu Feng and said that he had taken a big job outside, but he was unwilling to reveal the specific itinerary and just asked Chu Feng to follow him.

Wang Hong and Xuan Zhen were also in Yong'an Town at that time. Qu Youzhi's various behaviors were full of weirdness. The two of them persuaded Chu Feng together. It seemed that Chu Feng also noticed something, so he discussed with other staff in the theater and rejected the other party.

Qu Youzhi left angrily, and the two thought that the matter had come to an end, so they didn't pay special attention to it.

Unexpectedly, rumors soon spread around that the Chu Family Theater refused to perform, that the actors were not skilled enough, and that they did not dare to go on stage. Chu Feng attached great importance to his reputation, so in order to maintain his family's reputation, he took the initiative to contact Qu Youzhi.

Finally, Chu Feng led all the members of the theater to embark on the road of performing. At the same time, he was also careful to leave Chu Mo and the family heritage in the theater.

When Xuan Zhen and Wang Hong learned about the situation, it was too late. They had already disappeared.

Having failed to achieve his goal, Qu Youzhi wanted to return to the theater to search after killing more than a hundred people in the theater. However, he was ambushed by Wang Hong and fled with serious injuries.

Wang Hong even made a bold statement that if Qu Youzhi dared to set foot in Yong'an Town again, he would lead the army to fight to the death.

Because of the evidence that Qu Youzhi practiced evil ways and because of Wang Hong's intimidation, he has been extremely low-key for the past five years.

After Xuan Zhen explained the whole cause and effect, he slowly exhaled.

Chu Mo just listened calmly. What he didn't expect was that the usually kind old man Wang actually knew his father for a long time. In the three years since the theater reopened, he didn't go there to watch opera, but to protect himself.

No wonder Wang Hong showed a special concern for me from the beginning. Since I didn't notice it, he tried his best to help me.

Chu Mo said calmly, "Master Xuan Zhen, I thank you again. Do you know where my father and all the seniors in the theater are buried?"

Xuan Zhen looked at Chu Mo's fiery eyes, hesitated for a while, and said, "Qu Youzhi was very careful at the time, and he had helpers who erased all traces. Wang Hong and I searched for him but to no avail and had to give up."

Then he spoke again: "Boss Chu, you were staying safely in Yong'an Town. I was very relieved to have Wang Hong protecting you. But you suddenly went out to perform. It was so sudden that the old Taoist didn't stop you. Now I'm afraid Qu Youzhi has also got the news and is targeting you again."

Chu Mo sneered in his heart, but he remained calm and said, "Master Xuan Zhen, we can't stay in this place forever. We have to go out and take a look, right?"

Xuan Zhen sighed and said, "Boss Chu, I wonder what your plans are for the future. Qu Youzhi is still a potential threat. I will go find Wang Hong and discuss this with him."

Chu Mo stopped Xuan Zhen who was about to stand up and said, "Master Xuan Zhen, don't worry. Old Master Wang is not at home right now. The Ancient Barbarian Dynasty attacked Hanyang Pass some time ago, causing heavy losses. He went to help recruit soldiers."

Then he changed the subject and said, "Master Xuanzhen, you said Qu Youzhi has a helper. Do you know who he is?"

Xuan Zhen nodded and said, "In the past few years, in addition to practicing, I have been investigating the death of your father. I have found out some things."

"Qu Youzhi has now reached the peak of the first level of the Soul Summoning Realm and will soon break through to the second level. He has the highest level of cultivation and is also afraid that the murder of your father will be exposed, so he recruited the four people who participated in the murder as his subordinates and has been hiding in Baiyang Village for all these years."

"Liu Wenliang is a descendant of the Confucian ghost scholar. He has reached the peak of the first level of soul-enriching. He has been hiding in Qianliu Village for many years, and has become the only teacher in the village. He is the think tank among the five people."

"The witch, whose exact name is unknown, practices the Chu Ma Xian lineage, and has reached the high level of the First Realm Soul Condensation Stage. She has been staying in a temple in Floating Cloud City for the past few years."

"Chen Hu is a military practitioner, but he is bloodthirsty by nature. His cultivation level is in the middle stage of the first level of soul accumulation. In recent years, he has been in Juxi City, opened a meat shop, and transformed himself into a butcher."

"Hei Jiu is from the lineage of an animal trainer. His cultivation is at the lower level of the First Realm of Soul Condensation. He has been wandering around these years and has no fixed place to stay. He has been appearing near Qinghe Village recently. He is the one among the five who specializes in gathering intelligence."

Hearing this, a cold light appeared in Chu Mo's eyes. The five people were all located in the east of Yong'an Town, forming a semicircle that surrounded Yong'an Town. To the west was Hanyang Pass, so it was naturally impossible for them to get out. This was a good plan.

When hearing about everyone's cultivation level, Chu Mo felt an endless murderous intent in his heart. With his current cultivation level, he could easily deal with them.

As if sensing the murderous intent emanating from Chu Mo, Xuan Zhen hurriedly said, "Boss Chu, don't be impulsive. Your father was also known as a genius, but in the end he died under a scheme."

"Besides, they are numerous and powerful, and have been accumulating strength over the years. You are definitely not their opponent alone. During this period of time, you should stay in the theater honestly and do not go out. I will go and discuss countermeasures with Wang Hong immediately."

Chu Mo stood up and bowed, saying, "Thank you, Taoist Xuan Zhen, for all the hard work you have done for my father and me over the years. But how can I be a son if I don't avenge my father's murder? I want to solve this matter myself."

Xuan Zhen was extremely frightened and said, "Chu boy, don't do anything rash. You should know that if you have a green mountain, you will never run out of firewood. You must avenge your vengeance, but you have to wait until you have the strength to do so."

Chu Mo smiled slightly and said, "Master Xuan Zhen, rest assured, I will not be reckless. I have managed to get a position in the court some time ago, and I also control some power. It will be easy for me to deal with them."

Xuan Zhen was slightly surprised when he heard this. Over the years, I have been practicing hard, and my cultivation has reached the peak of the first level of spirit summoning, which is on par with Naqu Youzhi. I had thought about waiting for the counterattack and then offering to help to avenge my old friend Chu Feng, but I didn't expect that his son didn't like me at all.

He was unconvinced and immediately asked Chu Mo to produce evidence. When he saw the token with the word "Dark" engraved on it, he understood everything.

In the end, Xuanzhen left and disappeared alone in the busy street.
