"Enough!"
The founding duke roared.
His roar almost covered half of the Public House.
As a father, he was actually being pointed at and scolded by his own son. What kind of feeling was this?
The founding duke was like a furious lion. Every part of his face was showing his anger.
"As a son, how dare you say such things about your father? Are you trying to rebel?”
The Duke sneered.
"The one who wants to rebel is not me, but you, father!”
"You're not only my father, but you're also the master of the Mu family and the founding duke of the Great Zhou!”
"Our ancestors 'face has been completely thrown away by you. In the future, in the underworld, how can you face our ancestors?”
Pa!
The founding duke couldn't hold it in anymore.
He slapped her hard.
The Duke was sent flying and spun a few times in the air.
He fell to the ground, his face swollen. A palm print was clearly visible, and blood flowed from the corner of his mouth.
Seeing this scene, the founding duke could not help but feel a little heartache.
This was his only son.
Since young, he had always been strict on the surface, but in reality, he was exceptionally doting.
He had never been so ruthless before.
"Where did you know all these things?”
The founding duke hid his palm behind his back and asked in a trembling voice.
"I searched your bedroom and found a secret compartment. There were letters between you and Marquis Weiwu and the others.”
The Duke wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth. His eyes were covered with a layer of mist as he spoke in a desolate manner.
"I even interrogated your personal guard!”
"That day, when you were kneeling in the ancestral hall and talking to yourself, I was hiding outside and heard a lot of things.”
"Do you think you can hide it well? Not to mention me, your biological son, even the people outside know that the founding duke betrayed the Great Zhou!”
The founding duke's heart ached more with every word the duke said.
His face became even more ferocious as he shouted sternly.
"I didn't betray the Great Zhou!"
"I just want our Founding Duke's Residence to continue to exist!”
"What do you know? Do you think I'm afraid of death? The founding duke's bloodline has lasted for ten thousand years. How can it be destroyed in my hands!”
"Mu Guanying! What do you know?"
"If I didn't agree, the 50,000 Red Flame Troops under the Mu Family would have been wiped out!”
"I did all this for you to live a better life in the future!”
The pain that the founding duke had accumulated in his heart for a long time erupted at this moment.
His eyes were red, and he was panting heavily like a defeated bull.
He had never thought that his son would see everything he had done.
It turned out that his so-called hiding was just self-deception.
This made him feel a sense of shame after being exposed.
"You didn't betray Great Zhou? Then tell me, why did you kill Lord Ye!”
Mu Guanying's words made the founding duke freeze.
"I didn't want to kill him. Marquis Weiwu and the others forced me…If I didn't obey, they wouldn't let me go…Since I've already joined the Celestial Sect, how could they allow me to be at odds with them?”
The founding duke's hand behind his back trembled, and even his voice became a little weak.
"Moreover, what right does Ye Ning have to represent the Great Zhou? The Great Zhou was the Great Zhou of the world. What would it matter if he died?”
Mu Guanying got up.
He looked at his father as if he was looking at a stranger.
"I didn't expect you to deceive yourself to this extent!”
"The Great Zhou is the Great Zhou of the world, but what kind of life are the people living now? You know very well that the Great Zhou has fallen to this state because of the immortal sects!”
" But you didn't have the courage to fight back. You chose to surrender and drew your sword against the brave warriors who dared to fight back. If this isn't betrayal, then what is?”
Mu Guanying questioned repeatedly.
The founding duke was unable to answer.
He could deceive himself for a while, but he could not deceive himself for a lifetime.
His own son used the most direct and cruel words to expose the nature of the matter.
This made him feel ashamed.
"Have you said enough?"
Mu Guanying roared.
"No!"
He pointed at the founding duke and said angrily.
"You just said that the Founding Duke's Mansion has lasted for ten thousand years and cannot be destroyed in your hands. But have you ever thought about why the Founding Duke's Mansion came into being?”
"Are you worthy of the plaque that Emperor Taizu gave to our family?”
"Are you worthy of the family rules our ancestors taught us?”
"Since ancient times, the line of the founding duke has experienced countless battles, big and small. It has experienced storms and declined, but it will never perish!”
"Because a warrior who dies in battle will always be a warrior, and those who survive can only be deserters!”
"You betrayed the glory of your ancestors and betrayed the creed of your family. From that moment on, the line of the founding duke was already dead.”
The founding duke closed his eyes, his eyes filled with pain.
Every word was like a knife stabbing into his heart.
"You said that you did all this for me, but when did you ask for my opinion?”
"If you ask me, I'll definitely tell you one thing. The descendants of the founding duke have nothing to fear!？”
"If I want to live in an ignoble manner, I'd rather die!”
Mu Guanying pounded his chest, tears streaming down his face.
"What you said is just an excuse. When you try to find a reasonable reason for your cowardice, you have already lost.”
"Father, it's not too late to turn back now!”
"Lord Ye is the hope of Great Zhou. He can't die, and he can't die in your hands!”
In the end, Mu Guanying continued to cry.
He tried to use his emotions to influence the founding duke.
"It's too late."
The founding duke shook his head.
He looked at his son and said slowly.
"I used the Soul Absorbing Lamp and placed it in Ye Ning's house…You know that the Soul Absorbing Lamp is a vicious magic treasure.”
"What is it? You used the Soul Absorbing Lamp?"
Mu Guanying felt like he was struck by lightning. He was stunned at first, then he took two steps back.
"How can you use the Soul Absorbing Lamp?"
"You actually used such a vicious magic treasure to deal with Lord Ye. Father, how can you be so ruthless?”
"Quick, there's still time. The Soul Sucking Lamp won't activate until 24 hours later!”
He thought of something and was about to run out.
"Stop, where are you going?"
The founding duke asked.
"I want to report to Lord Ye!"
Mu Guanying said.
"You're not allowed to go!"
The founding duke frowned. He waved his hand, and the door to the study closed abruptly.
He pointed again and Mu Guanying collapsed to the ground.
He took a step forward and grabbed Gu Zhong Sword, which had almost fallen. Then, he helped his son to the chair.
Looking at Mu Guanying's indignant eyes, the founding duke sighed and said.
"Calm down here. I'll let you out after 24 hours.”
With that, he left the study.
Mu Guanying could only sit on the chair.
His meridians were sealed and he could not move. The anxiety in his eyes could only turn into despair.
The founding duke came to the garden.
When he thought of the way his son looked at him, his heart ached.
He knew.
After this incident, there was already a huge crack in the relationship between the father and son.
It might be impossible to make up for it in this lifetime.
He did not want this to happen.
However, he had no other choice.
"Guan Ying, you're right. Father is indeed a coward. I betrayed the glory of my ancestors and betrayed Great Zhou.”
"The founding duke can only be indomitable and cannot compromise.”
"You have more guts than me. You're more suitable to be the founding duke than me!”
The founding duke smiled bitterly, and tears fell from the corners of his eyes.
"But I'm already on the pirate ship. What can I do?”
"When I walked on this path, I could no longer retreat.”
"Ye Ning, I'm sorry. I've harmed you, but I hope you can live.”
The founding duke muttered.
As he looked out into the starry sky of the Vast Expanse, a thought suddenly occurred to him.
Let the heavens make this decision. If Ye Ning can survive this time, then I will give the world an explanation.
……
Ye Ning didn't know that he had become the focus of the argument between father and son.
He did not know that there was something in his guest room that could kill him.
Of course, if he had known, he would have been very excited, not afraid.
Unfortunately, he did not know.
He didn't even go to the guest room.
That's right.
Ye Ning had forgotten about the demonic cultivator he had brought back.
The Overwatch Council was too busy and had consumed a lot of his energy.
Moreover, he did not really care about that Fiendish Cultivator. He had only left her at home on a whim.
Didn't they say that she was a dangerous person?
That was just right.
If I keep it by my side, it might take my life at any time.
However, there had been no movement from the Fiendish Cultivators for so long.
No one in the residence mentioned it.
Ye Ning had completely forgotten about it.
Of course, others might not have forgotten.
For example, Little Mute.
The only thing she remembered was that the Fiendish Cultivator was in the guest room.
But she did not remind him.
He didn't pay attention to it.
It was best to let that woman die there quietly.
That's right, Little Mute was just so overbearing.
She felt that there was no other reasonable explanation for Ye Ning bringing the Fiendish Cultivator home other than his looks.
If it wasn't for the fact that Ye Ning would be unhappy.
According to her original intention, she wanted to kill the Fiendish Cultivator directly.
Although Ye Ning had said that strength was not good or bad, it only depended on the person who used it.
However, due to traditional thinking, demonic cultivators were always dangerous.
And her duty was to eliminate danger for Ye Ning.
In the guest room.
The light of the Soul Absorbing Lamp had already turned pale white.
Although it was a lamp, there was no warmth.
Instead, it released endless coldness.
Wisps of gray and black curses slowly spread out from the wick.
It spread throughout the entire Ye residence.
When this aura spread to a certain extent, the Ye residence would become a land of death.
Anyone who stepped into this place would die without a doubt.
However, there seemed to be a problem with the current situation.
The curse power from the Soul Absorbing Lamp didn't spread to the entire Ye Residence as expected. Instead, it was attracted by an invisible force and surged toward the bed...
The beautiful witch smacked her lips.
It was as if he had eaten something delicious.
