Zhu Xiaosuo left without informing anyone, but soon the cultivators of the Niu, Ma, and Yang Clans, the County Magistrate, and Madam Feng all knew.

Madam Feng held the swaddled Zhuang Yingdi, unsure of what he intended to do.

Someone about to leave might do something crazy before they go.

Soon, she received the news.

"Madam, madam, something terrible has happened!"

"What is it?"

"The master... the master has killed the second miss!"

The second miss referred to by the maid was Madam Feng's eldest daughter, Zhu Run.

"He, he killed Run'er?!"

"Yes, the news came from Second Miss's attendant, Zhu Siqi. He passed the message and then died!"

"Then... where did Zhu Xiaosuo go next?"

"I don't know. Some say he headed north of the county."

"North of the county... that's Hua's money house!"

Zhu Hua was Madam Feng's younger daughter.

"What should we do? Should we warn Third Miss to leave quickly?"

Madam Feng was at a loss.

"It's too late. He's a cultivator, one step of his equals dozens of ours. Hua'er is likely in great danger."

Madam Feng seemed to see Zhu Xiaosuo's cold gaze.

It turned out Zhu Xiaosuo intended to eliminate Madam Feng's entire family before leaving.

No, she couldn't die!

Who could save her?

She quickly found the three Spirit Energy Pearls left by the Niu, Ma, and Yang Clans for communication.

The cultivators of the three clans had told her that the pearls contained their Sound Transmission Talismans.

Whenever Madam Feng encountered trouble, she only needed to crush a pearl, and they would contact her immediately.

But after crushing the pearl, no cultivator from any of the clans contacted her.

The cultivators of the three clans had abandoned her.

It wasn't that the cultivators of the three clans were unwilling to act for Zhuang Yun.

It was because Zhu Xiaosuo had released his spiritual energy, representing his cultivation level, as soon as he left.

Even cultivators without the Spirit Cleansing Sight could sense his cultivation level.

Rebirth Stage, Third Layer!

The breakthrough in his cultivation proved that Zhu Xiaosuo's months of training in the courtyard were not a sham.

He truly had a trump card.

Now, Zhu Xiaosuo was certain to pass the first examination of the Immortal Sect.

A sect member was not someone the cultivator clans of Mountain Chicken County could provoke.

At this moment, the two daughters of the Yang family were sitting together.

"Aunt, Zhu Xiaosuo really had a trump card."

"I told you long ago, he's not someone easy to deal with. Luckily, we didn't offend him much."

"Ah, it's a pity. Our family's business might have to be given away again."

"Pity? The business ratio of the Niu, Ma, and Yang Clans is six-three-one. We only have ten percent. It's the other two families who should be worried!"

Meanwhile, at the Ma family, Ma Baoying and Ma Weixin were also sitting together.

"Aunt, what do we do? Zhu Xiaosuo was pretending to be weak!"

"Ah, I misjudged him too. Didn't expect that Yang Shuru was right. Now we can only follow the Niu family."

At the Niu family.

Niu Shilin said, "I didn't expect Zhu Xiaosuo to pass the first examination of the Immortal Sect. Mountain Chicken County is about to change."

"Father, what should we do?"

Niu Daihao was a bit panicked.

Niu Daijie, however, calmly looked at Niu Shilin.

Niu Shilin tapped the table, "Daijie, Daihao, tonight we will close our doors tightly and let the Zhu family solve their own problems."

"Father!"

"Yes, Second Uncle."

After speaking, Niu Daijie left.

Niu Shilin watched Niu Daijie's back, snorting coldly.

The three clans did not save her, and Madam Feng was in despair.

She had one more Spirit Energy Pearl.

Inside was Zhuang Yun's Sound Transmission Talisman.

But shortly after Zhuang Yingdi was born, Zhuang Yun had told Madam Feng that he was going into seclusion and could not be disturbed.

He instructed her to appease Zhu Xiaosuo during this time and not to cause trouble.

The day he emerged from seclusion would be the day to settle accounts with Zhu Xiaosuo!

At this moment, she could hear the cries and pleas for help from her servants outside the courtyard.

Zhu Xiaosuo had come to kill!

What to do!

Should she gamble that Zhu Xiaosuo wouldn't dare to kill her, or break the Spirit Energy Pearl?

No.

She couldn't gamble.

Zhu Qigao had already prepared the horse carriage!

Zhu Xiaosuo clearly intended to kill and flee, leaving no room for mercy!

Moreover, she had endured humiliation for so long, even having a child with her son's killer, Zhuang Yun, just to enjoy endless wealth and possibly enter the Immortal Sect!

How could she die so unjustly!

Just as her door was being pushed open.

"Pa!"

The Spirit Energy Pearl left by Zhuang Yun was shattered by Madam Feng.

Seeing Zhu Xiaosuo's blood-covered face like a demon, Madam Feng trembled all over.

Zhu Xiaosuo smiled and bowed:

"Greetings, Mother."

Madam Feng forced herself to remain calm, holding her head high:

"Hmph. A rotten stone with a hundred schemes, pretending to be a white jade pearl! Aren't you here to take my and my son's lives?"

Zhu Xiaosuo scratched his head and said:

"Why would Mother say that?"

Madam Feng laughed grimly:

"Haha, Zhu Xiaosuo, stop pretending! Don't think I'm afraid of you! I've already shattered Zhuang Yun's Sound Transmission Talisman, he knows what's happening here and will soon return to protect us!"

Zhu Xiaosuo was taken aback:

"What, my foster father already knows?"

"I advise you to run while you still can! If you delay, Zhuang Yun will arrive and surely take your head!"

Upon hearing this, Zhu Xiaosuo's initially surprised expression vanished.

It was replaced by a meaningful smile.

He found a chair, sat down, and crossed his legs.

"Mother, how could I possibly kill you? You are my mother, and I can't wait to show my filial piety."

Seeing Zhu Xiaosuo's blood-stained face with a smile, Madam Feng felt even more terrified.

"You... what do you mean!"

"What do I mean? My goal has been achieved, what else could it mean?"

"What goal?"

Zhu Xiaosuo nodded towards the fragments of the Spirit Energy Pearl on the ground.

"To make you use the Spirit Energy Pearl left by my foster father."

Madam Feng was stunned.

"What... you did this... for that?"

"What else could it be? He's at a critical stage from the Rebirth Stage to the Bone Transformation Stage, in a life-or-death seclusion! If disturbed, at best his cultivation level would fall, at worst his life would be in danger! My dear mother, I really must thank you. Otherwise, I wouldn't have known what to do."

Madam Feng was dumbfounded upon hearing this.

She didn't understand what the Rebirth Stage or life-or-death seclusion meant.

She only knew she had likely made a grave mistake.

Zhu Xiaosuo continued:

"Mother, you've been clever all your life. In terms of scheming, we're evenly matched. In terms of methods, I'm a bit inferior. Someone like you, if you could become a cultivator, would surely be a formidable figure. But alas, you're a mortal. In the face of a cultivator's power, a mortal's schemes are too weak."

Zhu Xiaosuo wiped the blood off his face.

At this moment, Zhu Qigao entered.

"Master, the brothers are all packed up, when do we leave?"

"We're not leaving. Have the brothers unload the carriage and go home to sleep. Remember the names of the brothers who stayed with us during these times, I will reward them generously!"

"Yes."

Without any doubt, Zhu Qigao turned to carry out Zhu Xiaosuo's orders.
