The cheat system is useless, but I have the strongest living dad.

After leaving Luoman Mountain, Cheng Qiang and Wei Xin met up on the Tuna battlefield.

After the troops were mustered and the camp was set up, Cheng Qiang noticed that Chu Yun and Cheng Xiao were not there, and a sense of unease rose in his heart: "Immortal Wei, where are my Xiao'er and Yun'er? Why can't I see them?"

He asked gently, but his face was fierce, making it seem like he was interrogating someone.

Wei Xin understood this elder and knew what he was worried about. Since what he feared had already happened, and Chu Yun was on his way here anyway, she decided to keep it a secret for a while longer: "There was a small accident. They are behind us and will probably arrive in two days. Elder Cheng, please don't worry."

Thinking of his unfilial son's character, Cheng Qiang's face darkened: "What little accident happened?"

Wei Xin gave a forced smile and replied, "It's nothing, we just got scattered by a pack of wolves. The pack has been wiped out. Please wait a couple more days. I have other things to do, so I'll go now."

Before Cheng Qiang could ask any more questions, Wei Xin turned and left without stopping.

The biological son is facing off against the closed-door disciple; the real master hasn't arrived yet, and neither of them wants to get involved in this lawsuit.

Chu Yun arrived earlier than they expected.

Having figured out the whole story, Cheng Qiang was about to kill his unfilial son on the spot: "You beastly behavior! Your mother died early, and your father has really spoiled you rotten! What's wrong with Chu Yun? You've made things difficult for him all these years, has he ever held a grudge against you?"

"You beast!" Cheng Qiang's sword struck the rebellious son's vital point.

Terrified, Cheng Xiao scrambled to his feet, crying and begging for mercy: "Father, I was wrong! I really know I was wrong! Father, please don't kill me, let me go to the battlefield to atone for my sins!"

Cheng Qiang's hand holding the sword trembled uncontrollably. How could he bear to truly kill the son he had raised with such care?

He kicked his unfilial son and said to Chu Yun, "Yun'er, it is your fault for not teaching Xiao'er well. Fortunately, you awakened your new spiritual root and returned safely as an immortal saint. Otherwise, this wicked beast would have no way to blame."

There were only the three of them inside the tent. Cheng Qiang shoved the sword into Chu Yun's hand, his voice choked with emotion, "Master...Master really can't bring himself to do it, you do it!"

Chu Yun stared silently at Cheng Xiao, who had stopped rolling around and was now slumped on the ground, glaring back at him with resentment, gritting his teeth and refusing to utter a single word of pleading.

He tightened his grip on the sword, but his tone remained calm: "Do you know that for this expedition, thirty percent of the magical treasures and supplies are on my person?"

"If I were to be trapped and die there as you wish, how many of my clansmen would die in vain during the siege of Tuna City? Have you thought about that?"

"Chu Yun!" Cheng Xiao stood firm in front of him: "Stop pretending. If you hadn't instigated Father to merge Tianhe Sect into Huxian Sect, would our Tianhe Sect disciples have died in vain?"

Cheng Qiang was furious: "Enough! You're utterly unrepentant!"

Cheng Xiao's long-accumulated resentment towards his father finally erupted: "I have to say it! Chu Yun, what's so good about you? You cheat and deceive, you've got my father completely under your thumb, and he doesn't even care about his own son, only caring about doing good deeds with you."

"You've gained a good reputation, but you've made us all suffer because of you. If it weren't for you, He Chen wouldn't have died!"

Cheng Qiang was so angry he was practically belching smoke: "You still dare to mention He Chen? If it weren't for your bad friends who ruined everything, how could He Chen have been without backup and how could he have died?"

Cheng Xiao was still stubbornly insisting, "It's all Chu Yun's fault! He's the one who caused all this!"

*Slap!* Cheng Qiang slapped his unfilial son across the face, then turned his head away from him: “It’s my fault for not raising my son properly. Yun’er, do it.”

Chu Yun held the sword with both hands and returned it to Cheng Xiao: "My master has been kind to me beyond measure, so let him go to the battlefield to atone for his sins."

"Good...good boy..." Cheng Qiang sheathed his sword, his heart filled with mixed feelings. His own son was far inferior to this disciple. Sigh! If only Xiao'er had half the temperament of Yun'er!

Chu Yun's display of righteousness fueled Cheng Xiao's hatred for him to reach new heights...

……

The war in the south was raging, and Huo Die's reputation resounded on the battlefield.

The evil cultivators from various southern cities fled to Yicheng, seeking the protection of the Evil Emperor.

Compared to Huo Die's speed in leading his army to massacre the city, Cheng Qiang's progress was very slow. In the past two months, he had besieged Tu Na City several times, only managing to trap the evil cultivators inside.

Dark clouds filled the sky above Tuna City, accompanied by thunder and lightning. Floating in the center of the lightning was a scroll, the city's protective treasure.

Jiang Qi had already spread the word that this scroll was called the Heavenly Thunder City Protection Array. It was said that the Evil Emperor obtained it in the Demon Swamp Secret Realm of Yicheng. The Evil Emperor made many copies and distributed them to protect various evil cultivation cities.

Evil Empress Nuonuo is a second-class superior evil lord. Even Jiang Qi had difficulty solving the painting array she replicated, but Huo Die could break it easily without much effort.

But there is only one Huo Die in the world. Since air attacks are not possible in Tu Na City, the only option is to attack by land.

Cheng Xiao has been much more well-behaved lately, no longer confronting Chu Yun directly, and avoiding him whenever they meet.

Those who don't know him might think he's changed for the better.

Another brutal battle ensued. The west gate of Tuna City was finally breached, and the immortal cultivators who had come to attack the city charged in with high morale: "Kill!!!"

The battle cries were deafening, and the powerful evil saints and ancestors were already on their way to Yicheng.

The rest were all evil cultivators below the fifth rank. They had endured months of hardship and were already exhausted. After the city fell, they scattered and fled in all directions, without any order.

After the city fell, the massacre was almost overwhelming. The immortal cultivators who had lost their relatives and friends to the evil cultivators were now even more bloodthirsty.

In such a battle, Cheng Xiao was even inspired to show some fighting spirit.

He took the four celestial soldiers given to him by his father and went from street to street, searching for and killing evil cultivators.

As they searched the street, a familiar figure darted past in front of them.

Cheng Xiao paused for a moment, then called out to his team, "Chase!"

The figure darted into an alleyway, which was a dead end with high, enclosed walls and nothing but stone walls.

"Is it an illusion?"

A familiar yet unfamiliar surge of spiritual energy came from behind him, and Cheng Xiao suddenly turned around.

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Several sword lights flashed, and his four immortal soldiers fell to the ground dead, and the entrance to the alley was completely sealed off.

The alleyway was completely dark.

Only two breathing sounds could be heard, one rapid and one slow.

Cheng Xiao swallowed hard, held his breath, and slowly backed away.

"Senior brother." The cultivator, breathing rapidly in the darkness, called out to him in a gentle tone.

Cheng Xiao stopped backing away, somewhat frightened, and dared not utter a sound.

"Whoa..." That was the sound of bones and flesh shattering and being forcibly separated.

A flickering ball of fire suddenly appeared in the darkness, floating beside the evil cultivator who was crouching on the ground extracting soul cores. Cheng Xiao finally saw his face clearly: "He...He Chen?"

'Whoa…' He Chen took out the second soul core and held the two soul cores in his hands.

Cheng Xiao suddenly transformed into a champion of justice: "He Chen, you've actually become an evil cultivator! As a member of the immortal race, how could you willingly degenerate like this?"

"Hehehehe..." He Chen chuckled eerily, coiling his soul core: "Why would I willingly degenerate? You should ask your senior brother why he didn't come to pick me up..."
