No One Helped Me
Wuyue Sha was awakened by a familiar voice. Upon hearing those four all-too-familiar words, he completely disregarded the pain on his face and body. He simply slapped Liu Chengzhi's hand away and frantically covered his face with his hair again.
He knew he looked disheveled, and if his old enemies recognized him in this state, it would be more painful than killing him.
But it was too late to cover it up. By the time Liu Duanyue stepped forward to her son's side, Liu Chengzhi, his face ashen, said to his father, "It's Wuyue Jizong! I recognize this face!"
Upon hearing this, Liu Duanyue's expression instantly became even more unpleasant. "Are you sure you didn't see wrong?"
His words were practically squeezed out between his teeth.
Liu Chengzhi's expression was equally grim, but he still firmly shook his head and said, "I won't be mistaken. Although this face is vastly different from before, I will never mistake it."
How could he possibly admit his mistake? Wuyue Jizong, once a prodigy, was the one who almost bullied his sister.
It was because of this bastard that his sister fell ill after being rescued, and after being in a coma for several days, red marks appeared on her body.
His sister was perfectly fine before, it's all this bastard's fault, it's all this bastard's fault!
Liu Chengzhi grabbed Wuyue Sha by the collar and roughly ripped his hair back, exposing his hideous face to everyone.
"Wuyue Jizong, you actually dare to come back!" Liu Chengzhi slammed the man to the ground, making sure everyone present could clearly see his face. "When your clan moved away from here, I said that if you dared to set foot in Moonless City again, I would break your hands! It seems you still haven't learned your lesson."
At this moment, Wuyue Sha's disheveled state was completely exposed to everyone.
Most of the people in the city have lived here for many years, and they naturally have not forgotten the great event of driving the Moonless Clan out of the city. As the most important descendant of the next generation of the Moonless Clan, Wuyue Jizong also left a "profound mark" in this city.
Although the Moonless Clan lost its position as city lord at that time, Wuyue Qing was a smart woman. After taking over as the head of the clan, she managed to regain some of the goodwill of the people in the city through her methods.
At the same time, she also arranged a marriage with the third largest power in the city, after the Moonless Tribe and the Yin Mountain Sect, and successfully gave birth to her son, Wuyue Jizong, thus consolidating the status of the Moonless Clan.
However, they were far too greedy. Even after recovering from their previous despondency, they were still unwilling to give up and even continued to set their sights on the former Sect Master Liu.
As the most valued descendant of the two major powers in the city, Wuyue Jizong lived up to Wuyue Qing's teachings and harbored deep hostility towards the Liu Household.
It was only because Wuyue Jizong was not very capable and dared not make a move against Liu Chengzhi and Liu Duanyue, who were protected by Liu Chengren and not allowed to go out, that he turned his attention to Liu Qingyu was still young at the time.
It's fair to say that if Liu Chengzhi hadn't discovered his sister's disappearance in time and mobilized everyone to search the entire city, thus frightening that bastard Wuyue Jizong, then who knows what kind of scene they would have witnessed when they finally found Liu Qingyu.
Even though Liu Qingyu returned unharmed, the experience of that day still greatly traumatized her. After falling seriously ill, she woke up with red marks on her body.
The fact that her elder brother developed red markings at the tender age of three had been a source of pain for the Liu Household for many years. Who would have thought that her younger sister, who had suffered so much, would return and also be afflicted with the Curse!
At that time, people did not know what Curse was, and only regarded it as a terrible disease. So when Liu Chengzhi learned that his sister had been infected with the Curse, his first reaction was that it was Wuyue Jizong who did it.
He and his men secretly intercepted him and gave him a severe beating, but the man refused to admit it no matter what. In the end, Liu Chengzhi had no choice but to give up.
Fortunately, not long after, the Moonless Clan did something foolish, harming his grandfather. Liu Duanyue became ruthless, forcing the family that had been allied with the Moonless Clan to make a choice, and then joined forces with the city's powers to expel them.
On the day the Moonless Clan left, Liu Chengzhi led his sister to see them off. He and the men sent by his elder brother publicly broke both of Wuyue Jizong's legs.
It was just two broken legs; in the Cultivation World, it would only require some pills and Spiritual Qi to recover. So, although the Moonless Clan felt sorry for the child and were angry at Liu Chengzhi's actions, they ultimately didn't dare to say anything more.
After all, they were in the wrong and had already lost their territory.
They haven't even left Moonless City yet. What if Liu Duanyue gets angry and doesn't leave them a way out, demanding they stay and pay with their lives?
Thus, the Moonless Clan could only slink away from the city amidst the mournful cries of their own descendants.
Having had such an encounter with the person in front of him, how could Liu Chengzhi possibly mistake him for someone else?
He looked at the person collapsed at his feet, feeling a mixture of resentment and pleasure. "Who helped you? Who taught you those evil Cultivation Method?!"
Now that his identity had been exposed and so many people had seen his current appearance, Wuyue Sha decided to stop hiding. He openly revealed his face, his Evil Qi gaze sweeping over everyone around him.
Many people unconsciously stepped back under his gaze.
"Hmph! No one helped me. I'm the way I am today entirely thanks to your Liu Household! If you hadn't driven my clan out of Moonless City, I wouldn't be in this state. It's all your fault!" Seeing the fear these people had towards him, Wuyue Sha was extremely satisfied.
He then said to Liu Duanyue and the others, "Also, the Wuyue Jizong you speak of is long dead. The current me is Wuyue Sha!"
Seeing his stubbornness, Sang Ying showed no mercy. A bolt of lightning crackled and left a small hole in his already tattered robe. Wuyue Sha, who had been glaring arrogantly just a second ago, instantly shut his mouth and subconsciously shrank back.
He was afraid of Sang Ying, afraid of the one who could destroy his Soul-Locking Banner with a single sword strike.
"I don't want to hear your nonsense. Tell me, who's helping you behind the scenes? Who let you build the Sun-Chasing Hall and create so many living corpses?" Sang Ying's voice was cold and sharp, making Wuyue Sha tremble involuntarily.
Even though he was so afraid of the person in front of him, he still gritted his teeth and said, "No, no one helped me. I accidentally obtained the Puppet Cultivation Method and the Mud Cultivation Method. I spent a lot of money to get this Soul-Locking Banner from the weapon-refining master, and then turned it into something tainted with Corruption."
He spoke more and more fluently, and even he began to believe it. "No one would help me. At that time, I was like a stray dog, and no one would help me at all."
But everyone present knew very well that it was impossible for Wuyue Jizong alone to have created such a large and terrifying force on his own after the Moonless Clan's misfortune.
Moreover, the Soul-Locking Banner itself sounds Evil Qi; righteous weapon refiners wouldn't forge such a thing. And if those Evil Dao possessed such a treasure, why would they easily give it away?
Clearly, Wuyue Sha is protecting the person behind the scenes.
