Mythical Cultivation

"Fellow Daoist, I don't know why you have surrounded my spirit boat. I wonder if you have any advice for me."

Wu Ming did not directly answer the old man's words, but directed his words to the four people who were chasing him.

"My fellow Taoist, why are the two people stopping here? Could it be that you are their accomplice?" The burly middle-aged man did not respond, but instead tricked Wu Ming and asked him back.

"Accomplices? Why do you say that, fellow Daoist? I have never met these two people before, so how can I talk about accomplices?" Wu Ming was also a little confused about the current situation, so he decided to make things clear first.

"Fellow Daoist, please don't misunderstand. We are from the Han family in Zhangwu County. These two people stole the treasures of our Han family. The four of us were ordered by the head of the family to capture them. When we saw the two thieves staying beside your spirit boat, we thought they were going to meet with you. In order to prevent the treasure from being lost, we intercepted you. As long as you don't interfere, let us capture the two people and search for the treasure, we will definitely let you leave safely." The middle-aged man said to Wu Ming in a sincere tone.

Listening to the middle-aged man's words, Wu Ming couldn't help but fall into deep thought, thinking to himself: "Did I really misunderstand them? Could it be that the two people being hunted are thieves, and they are..." For a moment, countless questions flooded his mind, making him feel a little confused.

Just as Wu Ming was racking his brains, he suddenly heard the young man led by the old man shout in anger, "Bah! You shameless people, how dare you call us thieves? You are the real robbers! My parents just passed away, and they haven't even been buried yet, and you can't wait to usurp my father's position as head of the family, and even covet the precious family treasures. Not only that, you also sent assassins to hunt us down, and now you are lying and blaming us!"

The young man's eyes were filled with endless hatred and resentment, as if they were about to burst into flames. He was extremely agitated. If it weren't for the old man beside him, who was healing with his eyes closed, he would have been so worried about his safety that he would have rushed forward to argue with those people, or even to fight to vent his hatred.

The boy's words made Wu Ming waver again. The hatred and anger in the boy's eyes were undeniable, and Wu Ming didn't think he was lying. He decided to wait and see. Wu Ming was truly confused.

Hearing the young man's words, the middle-aged man also grew angry. He had finally managed to trick the young man into trusting him, but this brat had ruined his plans. The four of them hadn't had good intentions when they surrounded the spirit boat in the first place. If the person emerging from the spirit boat was a Foundation Establishment Stage expert, they would repeat what they had said to Wu Ming, saying it was their fault for not recognizing a great man. Then they would kowtow, admitting their mistake and begging the expert to spare them. Presumably, a Foundation Establishment Stage expert wouldn't bother to attack them.

If the one who emerged was a cultivator at the Qi Refining stage, then he could only blame his bad luck. Being able to possess a Spirit Boat at the Qi Refining stage meant he must have a lot of wealth on him. They would be getting a windfall, so why not take advantage of it?

As long as they can trick this person into not helping the old man, it will be easy for them to defeat them one by one. But now because of the young man's words, people are on guard, so it will not be so easy to seize the treasure.

"Boy, you can eat whatever you want, but you must never say anything you want! What do you mean by wanting to rob your treasure? That is clearly the treasure passed down from our Han family's ancestors, and it was stolen by you two little thieves. You have the guts to swear that the treasure you took is not my Han family's treasure. If you don't dare to swear, it means you are lying. Don't blame me for being rude! Humph!" The middle-aged man had a playful smile on his face, his eyes fixed on the young man in front of him.

The reason he spoke so provocatively was that he knew full well that this so-called treasure was indeed the property of the Han family. He did this simply to silence the young man, preventing him from refuting his words. After all, faced with such a sudden question, most people would be at a loss, let alone a boy who was not even sixteen years old.

As expected, upon hearing the middle-aged man's words, the young man was immediately speechless. His eyes widened, his face flushed, his lips trembling slightly, yet he couldn't utter a single word. Tears welled up in his eyes, finally unable to hold back and rolled down. The young man was now utterly anxious. He didn't dare swear to the heavens, as that would be tantamount to denying his identity.

The middle-aged man standing across from him seemed increasingly smug, as if he had anticipated the boy's reaction. Looking at the furious boy before him, he felt a surge of pleasure. However, despite his inner rage and helplessness, the boy could only manage two words: "You...shameless!"

Wu Ming watched the scene unfold before him. He desperately wanted to believe the young man, because eyes couldn't lie, especially when someone wanted to kill someone. But the young man couldn't provide any solid evidence to prove his claim. And while the middle-aged man's words were coherent and plausible, Wu Ming's instincts told him he wasn't a good person.

However, you still cannot be swayed by your emotions. Let's see how the relationship between the two parties develops in the future.

The middle-aged man saw that the young man was speechless because of what he said, and he also showed a smug smile.

"Fellow Daoist, I'm not lying to you. They are two thieves who stole the Han family's treasure. As long as you don't interfere, I will definitely apologize to you after the treasure is recovered. If you interfere, it means you are their accomplice, so don't blame us for being rude."

He then signaled his three companions to prepare for action. At this moment, the old man who was healing nearby opened his eyes and said, "Han Chenghu, bullying a child is nothing. Do you dare to say that the young man next to me is not the son of the deceased Han family head? Do you dare to say that we are not members of the Han family? Do you dare to say that you are not taking advantage of this opportunity to seize the position of family head?"

After saying this, the old man turned to the young man beside him and said, "Zifeng, what kind of people are they? Don't you understand by now? For this group of people, confusing right and wrong is simply a daily routine! How is their behavior any different from that of evil and crooked people?"

"But... Grandpa Wang, evil can never triumph over justice!" the young man retorted, his face showing resentment. He clenched his fists tightly, as if filled with anger and helplessness.
