Chapter 518: Chapter 518: Impossible to Leave!
Within the Xuanmen underground city, Jiang Xiaobai and his group were leisurely strolling.

They noticed that there wasn’t much difference between here and cities above ground, except that this place was for the cultivation practitioners. The entire underground city was home to tens of thousands of people, not one of them a mere mortal!

The lowest-level cultivators were already at the Foundation Establishment stage.

Witnessing the development method of the Xuanmen, it was a refreshing sight, as no other sect had evolved in the same way.

Their methods made them a rallying ground!

“But with development like this, what about resources? Do they rely on just literally grabbing them?” Ao Cheng raised a pertinent question.

Right at that moment, Mo Feng arrived at their side, smiling.

“Actually, no. The Xuanmen has its own hidden resources, and all the necessary goods within the city are imported from outside.”

“And within the city are many manufacturing talents. By harnessing some resources, they can barely manage to be self-sufficient.”

Hearing this, everyone understood, and under Mo Feng’s guidance, they continued their city stroll.

However, nothing new or interesting caught their attention, so they decided to return to the courtyard.

Just as they got back, Feng He came looking for them.

“Young Master, there is something I would like to discuss with you.”

Hearing this, Mo Feng nodded his head, excused himself from the group, and took Feng He to a quiet place outside.

“What is it? Why are you looking for me?”

“Begging your pardon, Young Master, I have just received information. Although your cultivation level is low for the upcoming contest, there has been a sudden change in the rules. All participants must now be of the same cultivation level!”

“That means if you encounter someone stronger than you, they must suppress their cultivation level to equal yours. Young Master, you have a great chance of winning this time!”

Upon hearing this news, Mo Feng sighed, but didn’t seem too concerned.

If he hadn’t seen Mo Yu yet, he might have fought tooth and nail in this contest for a better ranking and more resources for better training.

That way, he would be able to gain more abilities to avenge his sister.

But now that Mo Yu was back, the only thing he wanted to do was stay by his sister’s side.

However, Mo Yu planned to follow Jiang Xiaobai. Life-saving grace was greater than the heavens, one must not be ungrateful!

Therefore, Mo Feng couldn’t stay at the Xuanmen either.

“I see, thank you for the reminder.”

Mo Feng patted Feng He’s shoulder, feeling a sigh of regret within his heart.

Feng He was, at times, a very good right-hand man. Unfortunately, the two of them had different worldviews and ideals.

They couldn’t walk this path together in the end.

“Young Master, please wait.”

Feng He seemed to think of something suddenly, hurriedly retrieving a pill. He said excitedly,

“This is a pill I pleaded Master Qin to gift. During the contest, as long as you consume it, it can temporarily boost your abilities. Secure under the same cultivation level, the other young masters will be no match for you!”

Looking at Feng He’s sincere expression, Mo Feng felt deeply moved for a moment.

Unfortunately, he didn’t have much use for it now.

“No worries, Feng He. You know me, I’m not the type to do such things.”

“Thank you.”

Feng He stood blankly on the spot, staring at Mo Feng in a stupor.

“Young Master, what do you mean by this?”

“Feng He, I don’t wish to hide it from you anymore. I am planning to leave the Xuanmen. I will compete with my full strength in this final contest, to give the Xuanmen something to remember.”

“Now, I’m not the type to be ungrateful. Even if I leave, I will still be part of the Xuanmen. I initially planned to inform Elder Li about this in three days.”

Mo Feng finished talking and Feng He’s face turned shockingly pale.

“Young Master, are you actually wanting to abandon all this just for those people who don’t even care?!”

Feng He shouted, “The Xuanmen has nurtured you for so long and given you so many resources! Young Master, how can you forget this kindness and be so ungrateful?”

What was initially a somewhat sorrowful atmosphere between them was abruptly interrupted by these words.

Mo Feng narrowed his eyes.

“Feng He, let’s be clear here. From the moment I joined Xuanmen until now, the resources Xuanmen gave me in the true sense, are almost none.”

“From a small team of over ten people, up to now, I have become a Young Master. We took these resources from the ancient clans. You said that I brought it to Xuanmen personally. Have you forgotten?”

Mo Feng at this moment was not in a good mood.

He had been so benevolent towards the Xuanmen, that even if he left now, there would be no debt between them.

However, right now, he was just a Young Master of a Xuanmen branch.

“Young Master, you…”

“Enough Feng He, you should know me. My biggest aim is to avenge my sister. But now that my sister is back, all I want to do is to stay by her side.”

“I will explain this matter to Elder Li.”

After saying this, Mo Feng turned around ready to leave, but at this moment, Feng He suddenly grabbed his hand.

Feng He’s face was full of regret and sadness.

He gritted his teeth and said, “Alright. I respect your wishes, Young Master. But Young Master, this pill is something I went through a great deal of trouble to get for you. Please accept it.”

“This way, it can be seen as us drawing a line under our past. I am grateful for your saving my life in the past!”

After giving it some thought, Mo Feng eventually agreed and took the pill.

As he looked at Feng He, he sighed, not knowing what to say. He turned and left eventually.

However, not long after Mo Feng left, the sadness on Feng He’s face disappeared instantly and was replaced with a fierce and ruthless expression.

“Mo Feng, you are really full of yourself. Do you think that the secrets of the Xuanmen are something that you can come and leave as you wish?”

“What a joke!”

With a cold snort, Feng He quickly left. The next time he showed up, he was in front of Li Licheng.

“Elder Li, the matter is done. Just as you predicted, Mo Feng is indeed planning to leave Xuanmen!”

Hearing this, Li Licheng simply nodded.

“I see, what a pity about Mo Feng’s talent. If he stayed among the Xuanmen, he would surely have a bright future, but with his departure, it’s all wasted.”

“However, leaving isn’t that easy. Xuanmen has given him so many benefits, so much trust. In the end, it’s all water under the bridge. His actions are nothing short of betraying the Xuanmen!”

“Alright Feng He, you may leave.”

Finishing these words, Li Licheng tossed a storage ring toward Feng He.

Feng He was ecstatic. After thanking Elder Li, he held the storage ring and turned to leave.

Sitting high above, Li Licheng’s face was filled with a mocking smirk.

Everything was just an act on his part, he had known everything all along.

The only reason he was doing this was because he enjoyed the process of toying with people’s minds.

“Hehe, Mo Feng, what would happen if you knew your best subordinate has betrayed you now?”

“I had originally planned to nurture you more, let you help the Sky Demon sect accomplish great things. At that time, becoming an Inner Sect Disciple of the Sky Demon Sect would not have been a problem.”

“It’s a pity, you chose the path leading to your death.”

“However, I should thank you. You brought a gift like Jiang Xiaobai before me at this critical juncture.”

“Hahahaha!”

The grand hall was filled with Li Licheng’s maniacal laughter.
