My whole clan is a master, I have become invincible by investing in my clan members

Wu Hai trembled violently, and the last glimmer of hope in his eyes vanished.

His face was pale and his voice was trembling: "Master... Master!"

However, Zhou Chen's gaze had turned cold.

"I am no longer your master."

"The fate between you and me has ended, and we have nothing to do with each other from now on!"

Wu Hai felt as if he had fallen into an icy cave when he heard this.

At this moment, despair overwhelmed him, and a twisted anger appeared on his face.

He suddenly raised his head, his voice filled with resentment: "Is our fate over? What a fate that has ended!"

"You old fool, you're so hypocritical! You keep saying you'll teach me everything you know, but you won't even teach me the Flame Art! If it weren't for your repeated rejections back then, how would I have ended up like this today?!"

He kept roaring, as if he wanted to pour out all the resentment he had accumulated over the years.

Zhou Chen listened quietly, without any anger, but seemed unusually calm.

Over the years, he had imagined today's meeting countless times.

So, facing Wu Hai's ugly appearance, he simply said calmly: "Wu Hai, you can't blame anyone else for your current appearance."

Now, he has seen through everything in pain.

Some disasters are destined.

Even if there is no Wu Hai, there will be Wang Hai and Li Hai.

And perhaps his mission is to guide Jiang Yan and let him embark on the path of cultivation.

Thinking of this, he slowly turned his head and his gaze fell on Jiang Yan, with a hint of expectation in his eyes.

At this time, Jiang Yan saw Wu Hai's ugly behavior exposed and he even cursed at his master, and he couldn't help but be furious.

"How dare you, a wicked disciple, be so presumptuous?!"

Before he finished speaking, he controlled his strength, quickly raised his hand, and slapped Wu Hai three times.

Wu Hai staggered to the ground, his cheeks quickly becoming red and swollen, and blood oozing from the corners of his mouth.

He stared at Jiang Yan with resentment, but was no longer able to resist.

Jiang Yan looked at him coldly, his voice icy: "Recognize your identity! Show some respect to my master!"

After saying that, he turned to look at Zhou Chen and asked respectfully, "Master, please decide how to deal with this person!"

Zhou Chen's eyes were complicated, with memories and pain intertwined.

He looked at Wu Hai who was kneeling on the ground and was silent for a long time.

Finally, a sigh.

"Wu Hai, although you have committed serious sins, your cultivation has been wasted, and everything in the past has become smoke."

"Today, I will not kill you, but I will no longer protect you."

Zhou Chen looked at Jiang Daoxuan with a solemn expression: "Please, clan leader, arrange for this man to be assigned to the medicine field to take care of the precious medicines for the clan. Perhaps, this is his only use..."

Jiang Daoxuan nodded: "In that case, it will be as you wish."

Wu Hai, who was standing by, felt a little relieved when he heard this.

"Tending to the medicinal fields? This is truly a blessing in disguise..."

Although his cultivation was abolished and he became a mortal, he still managed to save his life.

Then, Wu Hai lowered his head silently.

The burning pain on his cheek made his facial features distorted.

He clenched his fists until his knuckles turned white.

There was a flash of resentment in his eyes.

"One day, I will resume my cultivation and repay you double for the pain you inflicted on me!"

"Just wait! That day will come!"

At this moment, Jiang Yan keenly noticed Wu Hai's changes.

The corners of his mouth curled up in a sneer.

It’s because he knows too well the real situation in the “medicine field”.

It is a special place in Cangwu Mountain. In addition to growing precious medicines, it also imprisons many vicious criminals.

Once Wu Hai steps into it, what awaits him will definitely not be a peaceful life.

To be honest, Jiang Yan was originally worried that his master would show mercy to Wu Hai and arrange him to a safe place.

But when he heard the word "medicine field", he instantly felt relieved.

"Master is indeed very understanding."

"Rather than letting this traitor die a quick death, it would be better to let him suffer torture in the medicine fields every day..."

At this time, as Jiang Daoxuan gave the order, Jiang Xian, who was not far away, immediately stepped forward and escorted Wu Hai to the medicine field.

Zhou Chen stood still, his eyes looking far away, as if he was reminiscing about the past, or pondering the future.

All the things that happened in the past eventually turned into a sigh and drifted away in this Dan Palace.

Jiang Yan walked to his side and whispered, "Master, I will definitely live up to your trust."

Zhou Chen nodded slightly, his expression relaxing a lot.

Yes, the past is dust.

And the road ahead continues under our feet.

..........

Shortly after.

Cangwu Mountain, medicinal fields.

Two years later, it's still as busy as ever.

The spiritual energy is as rich as the tide, the precious medicines in the medicine fields are competing to grow, and the air is filled with a strong medicinal fragrance.

The servants were busy working, their gray clothes were soaked with sweat, and their faces were numb.

At this time, Jiang Xian took Wu Hai to a simple thatched hut.

Push the door open and enter.

Inside the room, an old man was sitting in front of the coffee table with a calm expression, holding a cup of hot tea in his hand.

He was Jiang Hongkang, who was demoted from the Seven Clans Elder to the guardian of the medicine field by Jiang Daoxuan.

Jiang Xian saluted, bowed his head slightly, and his eyes showed respect: "Grandpa Hongkang, I am ordered by the clan leader to send someone to grow precious medicine."

Jiang Hongkang paused slightly with the teacup in his hand, and a hint of surprise flashed across his eyes.

In the past two years, the clan leader has personally ordered very few people to be sent to the medicine field.

The previous one was Pei Qingfeng from Dahe Sword Palace.

He asked calmly, "Who is this person?"

Jiang Xian didn't say much, just pointed at Wu Hai outside the door.

The figure kneeling on the ground looked haggard and his eyes were dim.

Jiang Hongkang narrowed his eyes and looked at it, feeling vaguely confused.

How could this seemingly insignificant useless person actually attract the order from the clan leader himself?

Jiang Xian took a few steps closer and lowered his voice, saying, "This man's name is Wu Hai, and he was once a disciple of Palace Master Zhou."

"But many years ago, he plotted against Palace Master Zhou in order to steal his skills, causing him to fail in his tribulation and his physical body to collapse."

"Thanks to the tribe leader's help, I was able to rebuild my body and achieve the scene I see today."

When Jiang Hongkang heard this, his pupils shrank slightly and he almost dropped the teacup in his hand.

He was naturally no stranger to Palace Master Zhou.

In other words, no one in the entire Cangwu Mountain does not know the name Zhou Chen.

As the master of the Alchemy Palace, he not only has rare attainments in the art of alchemy, but his cultivation is also unfathomable.

It is unbelievable that such a person could have such a tragic past.

"What's the point of keeping such an unfilial person?"

Jiang Hongkang's voice was low and his eyes were cold.

Zhou Chen made great contributions to the clan and was respected by everyone.

Even as a caretaker of the medicinal fields, he still had respect for it.

Thinking of this, he looked at Wu Hai coldly, with the coldness in his eyes becoming even stronger.

"Hu Long, come here." Jiang Hongkang turned around and called.

Hu Long, who was in the distance, was bending over to water the elixir. He was startled by the sound, quickly put down the kettle, and hurried over.

In the past two years, he had long lost the halo of the Luofeng Sect's leader. With his tact and ability to understand people's hearts, he was promoted by Jiang Hongkang to be the supervisor of the medicine field, responsible for supervising the new menial workers.

"Master guard."

Hu Long bowed, with a hint of caution and speculation in his eyes.

He habitually observed Jiang Hongkang's expression, afraid of missing any important emotion.
