Let Senior Brother Xinghe Take the Blame!

The Great Moon Kingdom, where Ma Liang lived, was quite complex.

The Great Moon Kingdom is located within the territory of the Cloud Firmament Sect.

Cloud Firmament Sect is one of the top ten sects, ranking second only to Martial Emperor City among them.

The royal family of the Great Moon Kingdom are descendants of the current Grand Elder of the Cloud Firmament Sect, so the Great Moon Kingdom is naturally extremely powerful under the protection of the Cloud Firmament Sect.

The Ma Lineage is a powerful and prestigious clan in the Great Moon Kingdom. Many of Lineage disciples are even in the Cloud Firmament Sect. Ma Liang is exceptionally talented, almost joined the Cloud Firmament Sect back then, but Ma Liang has always aspired to join the Vast Heaven Sect since childhood.

That's why he ultimately didn't choose the Cloud Firmament Sect but became a disciple of the Vast Heaven Sect.

As it turned out, Ma Liang not only made the right choice, but Ma Liang talent was also the most outstanding among all the disciples of the Ma Lineage. According to Ma Liang, the most outstanding person in his family was his cousin, who was only a core disciple of the Cloud Firmament Sect.

As for Ma Liang now... his Vast Heaven Sect is naturally incomparable to that of ordinary core disciples.

Upon receiving the letter, Ma Liang did not seek out the sect elders but instead went to find Senior Brother Xinghe. This was because Ma Liang knew that if he went to the elders, the Vast Heaven Sect might intervene, but they would likely only send a message to the Cloud Firmament Sect requesting a thorough investigation.

However, the royal family of the Great Moon Kingdom are descendants of the Grand Elder of the Cloud Firmament Sect. Even if the Cloud Firmament Sect Vast Heaven Sect takes the matter seriously and conducts an investigation, will the final result of the investigation reveal the truth?

Ma Liang knew better than anyone the sordid affairs of the royal family.

My older sister was also exceptionally talented, having practiced various martial arts techniques of the Ma Lineage since childhood. Her body was also extremely strong. To say she died in childbirth, taking two lives with her unborn child? Who could believe that?

Even if the Cloud Firmament Sect does give an explanation and ultimately pushes out two insignificant people to take the blame, that might be the truth about the Cloud Firmament Sect, but that's not the truth Ma Liang wants.

No matter who it is, no matter how powerful they are, Ma Liang will never let the murderer who killed his sister go unpunished.

The Cloud Firmament Sect wouldn't give him the truth, Ma Liang knew that only by relying on his own Fengdu Grand Formation could he obtain the truth he wanted.

But this is the Vast Heaven Sect. Since entering the sect, the Fengdu Grand Formation has been restricted by the mountain-protecting formation. Unless Ma Liang obtains an elder's order at the level of Grand Elder or above, he may not be able to take the Fengdu Grand Formation out of the Vast Heaven Sect.

Will the Grand Elder Council allow Ma Liang to travel to the Great Moon Kingdom with the Fengdu Token?

Given Ma Liang's current murderous aura, if he were to take the Fengdu Token to the Great Moon Kingdom, wouldn't it result in rivers of blood?

The Grand Elder would never allow Ma Liang to do such a thing. After all, the Cloud Firmament Sect and the Vast Heaven Sect have always been on good terms, and it is absolutely impossible for them to let Ma Liang go on a killing spree in the Great Moon Kingdom.

After all, whoever dared to kill Ma Liang's sister must have already prepared a seemingly reasonable explanation; the royal family is already very adept at doing such things.

It's impossible for you to easily discover the vulnerability.

Furthermore, the fact that Ma Liang's Lineage didn't even send a letter after his sister's death suggests that the Ma Lineage had probably already compromised...

Even the Ma Lineage has compromised, so what can the Vast Heaven Sect do?

But while the Ma Lineage could compromise, Ma Liang couldn't... At this moment, Ma Liang knelt before Senior Brother Xinghe once again.

"Senior Brother Xinghe... Since joining the Vast Heaven Sect, Ma Liang has never forgotten the sect's rules, but this time, please allow me Ma Liang Senior Brother Xinghe, to be presumptuous just this once... No matter what the final outcome is, Ma Liang is willing to bear the consequences alone!"

Ma Liang's eyes were filled with determination.

Looking at Ma Liang, whose eyes were filled with murderous intent and resolute determination, Chu Xinghe knew exactly what Ma Liang wanted to do.

From a rational perspective, I shouldn't have let Ma Liang go, because Ma Liang has a bright Future. If he really takes the Fengdu Grand Formation to the Great Moon Kingdom this time, given Ma Liang's current murderous intent, he would probably kill a lot of people.

If Ma Liang really does that, the Cloud Firmament Sect will not let it go easily, and Ma Liang's life may very well be ruined.

But to hell with rationality!

My junior brother's sister was murdered, and it was a double tragedy—two lives lost. Is this the time to be rational?

Ma Liang, although you are very good at backstabbing Senior Brother Xinghe, and I have been backstabbed by you countless times, this time I support you!

The Cloud Firmament Sect, is that it? The Great Moon Kingdom, is that it? Your Lineage is utterly inhuman, isn't it?

Don't worry! I, your senior, wholeheartedly support you!

So you just want to take the Fengdu Grand Formation out, right? You need an Elder's Token, don't you?

Senior Brother Xinghe, although I don't have an Elder's Token, I do have the Haotian Token!

Without any hesitation, Chu Xinghe took out the Haotian Token and threw it at Ma Liang's face!

Upon seeing the Haotian Token that Senior Brother Xinghe had given him, Ma Liang burst into tears.

"Ma Liang thanks Senior Brother Xinghe for his understanding... Please rest assured, Senior Brother Xinghe, no matter how things turn out, it is all Ma Liang personal action and will never damage the sect's reputation. Ma Liang have failed Senior Brother Xinghe's high expectations!"

After Ma Liang finished speaking, Chu Xinghe almost slapped him across the face on the spot.

Listen to what you're saying, is that even human language?

What do you mean it's just your personal behavior? What the hell are you talking to your Senior Brother Xinghe about?

Even though you've betrayed Senior Brother Xinghe so many times, do you think I, Senior Brother Xinghe, am the kind of heartless person?

"Personal action... How many lives do you, Ma Liang, have to provoke the Cloud Firmament Sect on your own?"

Even though your whole family are bastards, you'd compromise even if your daughter and unborn child died. What else are you but bastards?

But don't worry, Ma Liang. With your Senior Brother Xinghe here, you're in charge of finding out the truth. No matter how you investigate, if something goes wrong in the end, I, your Senior Brother Xinghe, will take the blame for you!

And if it's just a personal act, can you personally bear the responsibility for it?

Let's not even talk about how your indiscriminate killing in the Great Moon Kingdom... cough cough... investigating the truth might cause conflict with the Cloud Firmament Sect.

Just the fact that he used the Haotian Token and the Fengdu Grand Formation without authorization from a sect is dangerous enough.

But don't worry, Ma Liang, it's okay if you can't handle this. Just leave it to your Senior Brother Xinghe, and I'll be fine. Your senior brother can handle it!

No matter how you end up, it's all my personal decision, Senior Brother Xinghe. I'm the one who sent you, I'm the one who gave you the Haotian Token, and I'm the one who let you take the Fengdu Grand Formation with you. You're responsible for the indiscriminate killing, and I'll take the Senior Brother Xinghe for you in the end.

With my current status Senior Brother Xinghe, I can handle any kind of trouble, so don't panic, just give me the freedom to act.

The sect won't let you act recklessly, right? Well, Senior Brother Xinghe, I'll let you have that!

Ma Liang, you're in charge of running amok. As for the punishment, that's all mine. Nobody else can take it from me!

I wholeheartedly support Senior Brother Xinghe!

Let Senior Brother Xinghe take the blame.

Chu Xinghe snatched the Qiankun Ring from his hand and tossed it to Ma Liang.

"Take this... Don't hold back on the spirit stones inside, it's enough to support your use of the Fengdu Grand Formation... Also... take this brocade pouch, if you encounter a truly indecisive situation, open it, there will be a surprise!"

With teary eyes, Ma Liang accepted the Qiankun Ring and the brocade pouch from Senior Brother Xinghe. At that moment, Ma Liang didn't know what to say to Senior Brother Xinghe... but Ma Liang knew that from this moment on, his life already belonged to Senior Brother Xinghe.

No... actually, my life has belonged to Senior Brother Xinghe for a long time...

After bidding farewell to Senior Brother Xinghe once more, Ma Liang, holding the Haotian Token, passed through the mountain-protecting array and left the Vast Heaven Sect...

Watching Ma Liang leave, Chu Xinghe turned around and went to find Lu Chengqing, personally instructing Lu Chengqing not to reveal the news that Ma Liang.

Although Lu Chengqing didn't know exactly what had happened, considering Ma Liang's condition at the time, Lu Chengqing felt that something bad was about to happen.

However, since Senior Brother Xinghe had given the instructions, Lu Chengqing naturally dared not speak of it to anyone else.

The capital of the Great Moon Kingdom...

The Ma Lineage, a prestigious clan in the Great Moon Kingdom, is currently holding a funeral.

Ma Bowang, the head of the Ma Lineage, looked at his eldest daughter lying in the coffin, his eyes filled with sorrow, but beneath the sorrow lay even more helplessness.

Having personally sent his daughter to the palace to become a concubine, Ma Bowang knew that his daughter was not happy in the palace, but there was nothing Ma Bowang could do.

This is the daughter's fate, and also the fate of the Ma Lineage.

Although the Ma Lineage is a prestigious family in the Great Moon Kingdom, no matter how prosperous the Ma Lineage is, it can never compare with the Cloud Firmament Sect. The Ma Lineage's current status is even due to the Cloud Firmament Sect.

When the news of his daughter's death in childbirth reached the Ma Lineage, how could Ma Bowang not know that something was amiss? But in recent years, countless people in the palace had died in childbirth.

However, Ma Bowang never expected that his daughter would ultimately not escape the clutches of poison.

Ma Bowang knew that all of this must have been the work of that vicious Empress. She would not allow any of the concubines in the harem to give birth to a prince and threaten the imperial power that her son would inherit in the Future.

Ma Bowang did want to seek justice for his daughter, but the Empress was the daughter of Tian Qingquan, the current elder of the Cloud Firmament Sect. His daughter's marriage to a descendant of the Cloud Firmament Sect's Grand Elder was a union that no one was allowed to disrupt.

The Great Moon Kingdom bestowed many honors upon Ma Bowang, and even the Cloud Firmament Sect granted the Ma Lineage more disciples the qualification to join the Cloud Firmament Sect.

Ma Bowang knew that this was Cloud Firmament Sect's way of compensating the Ma Lineage. Faced with the compensation offered by the Cloud Firmament Sect, the other members of the Ma Lineage accepted it one after another, and even he, as the head of the family, could not completely control it.

This is the tragedy of aristocratic families... Their children are far less important than their interests, and they can only drift with the tide.

Ma Bowang dared not send the news to the Vast Heaven Sect, nor did he dare let Ma Liang know about his sister's affair, because he knew about Ma Liang's relationship with his sister, and he also knew that Ma Liang would never let the matter rest if he found out.

In the Ma Lineage Lineage, where family interests come first, all Ma Bowang could do was get the royal Ma Lineage to agree to hold a funeral for his daughter himself, sending her off on her final journey in style.

Gently stroking his daughter's cold face, bidding her a final farewell, Ma Bowang wiped the sadness from his eyes and gave the order for the funeral procession to begin its journey.

The procession traveled all the way to the outskirts of the capital. The royal family of the Great Moon Kingdom allowed Ma Bowang to bury his daughter in the Ma Lineage mausoleum, so the funeral procession headed towards the Ma Lineage mausoleum.

Just as the procession was about to leave the capital city gates, a figure slowly approached from the road in the distance.

Wherever this man went, the surrounding world seemed to be shrouded in darkness, and terrifying wails accompanied him as he walked step by step to the front of the funeral procession.

Ma Bowang wide-eyed at the figure shrouded in ghostly energy; he finally recognized the person...

It's his own son... Ma Liang!

He's back! And he's come with boundless killing intent!
