Legend has it that back then, Mu Yong Xiaoyao was undoubtedly a top figure. He mastered a very powerful martial art and had unparalleled killing skills, capable of defeating anyone.
Even the renowned barrier master from Qingzhou, an elder with extremely strong defensive techniques, who had faced him, was killed by him in one strike.
At that time, many people believed that Mu Yong Xiaoyao would become a generational prodigy like the Qinglong Daoist, but no one expected that he suddenly vanished just when he was on the rise.
The year he vanished was the year he ended his self-inflicted exile, the year the White Tiger Mountain Village was just established. At that time, he was only 20 years old.
Some people said that he gained great benefits in the secluded place but paid a corresponding price, destined to have a short life.
Others said that he grew tired of the worldly disputes and always felt guilty towards the noble lady who had taught him martial arts, so he retired to the mountains.
But no matter how Mu Yong Xiaoyao vanished, after his disappearance, the powerful people from all over Qingzhou flooded into the White Tiger Mountains, wanting to obtain Mu Yong Xiaoyao's unparalleled martial skills, but they couldn't find that secluded place.
Later, someone proposed to level the White Tiger Mountain Village to the ground, even digging three feet deep to find that secluded place, but just as those top experts from Qingzhou were about to trample the White Tiger Mountain Village, Mu Yong Xiaoyao suddenly appeared.
It is said that at that time, Mu Yong Xiaoyao merely disappeared for two months, but when people saw him again, he had turned into an aged man, with his black hair turning into white long hair, his face like paper color, wearing white clothes, like a living corpse.
But he merely used one move to wipe out all the top experts in Qingzhou at that time, truly astonishing the heavens and earth, and blood turning into rivers in an instant, possessing an unparalleled and invincible power.
After eliminating those invaders, Mu Yong Xiaoyao disappeared again, disappearing completely, no one knew where he went, not even the people of the White Tiger Mountain Village knew.
But the most strange thing was that after that, the White Tiger Mountain Village would mysteriously appear the corpses of extraordinary martial artists, and all were killed by others, with a fatal one-move technique, that kind of clean and efficient method was exactly Mu Yong Xiaoyao's unique move.
After that, people knew that Mu Yong Xiaoyao wasn't dead, he just grew tired of the worldly disputes, but still secretly guarded the White Tiger Mountain Village, not allowing anyone to invade.
But the martial skills that Mu Yong Xiaoyao mastered back then were extremely attractive. Many experts still disregarded their lives and secretly entered the White Tiger Mountain Village to secretly enter, but ultimately none managed to escape being killed.
The most strange thing was that several hundred years after Mu Yong Xiaoyao disappeared, such things still occurred frequently. The most recent one happened two hundred years ago, the appearance of the corpse was the same as that of the person back then.
But you should know that two hundred years ago, even if Mu Yong Xiaoyao was alive, he was already over three hundred years old, which was far beyond the lifespan of humans.
So some people thought that actually Mu Yong Xiaoyao had died from the beginning, the one who was alive was just a trace of his consciousness, because the certain power of that secluded place, Mu Yong Xiaoyao's consciousness could be immortal and protect the White Tiger Mountain Village forever.
From then on, no one dared to spy on the White Tiger Mountain Village, and the White Tiger Mountain Village hardly interacted with the outside world, so it gradually faded from people's sight.
But precisely because of this, it aroused Chu Feng's interest. He knew that the secluded place back then was probably the entrance to the burial place of Emperor Zai in the White Tiger Mountains, Mu Yong Xiaoyao must have obtained something from it like the Qinglong Daoist.
As for where that entrance was exactly and whether Mu Yong Xiaoyao was alive or dead, Chu Feng didn't know. But now that he had secretly entered, Chu Feng would definitely not give up easily and vowed to find out the result.
One early morning, the sky was still dark when Chu Feng's door was knocked on. When he opened it, it was the head steward Zhang.
"Your complexion is good."
When Zhang Manager saw Chu Feng, he nodded with satisfaction and then handed Chu Feng a neatly-organized piece of clothing, saying, "Clean yourself up properly. There's a good job for you."
Chu Feng changed into the clothing and followed Zhang Manager to a garden. There were several carriages in the garden. Some were freight wagons, filled with goods, and the other was a luxurious car. It was truly very luxurious, and the horses pulling the carriages were all good horses.
For these, Chu Feng was not surprised. Although these days he had been in contact with people from the lower classes, he had also learned about the background of Baihuang Villa. At least it was not worse than Zhongque City or Qinglong Sect. There were many experts hidden here, and the economic strength was also very strong.
Beside the carriages stood dozens of servants. Each of them was holding either pastries or flowers. The most important thing was that all these servants were of the highest class.
However, these servants were all older than Chu Feng. When they saw the mark of the highest class on Chu Feng's chest, they all showed astonishment. After all, someone who could become a member of the highest class at such a young age would arouse their jealousy.
"Chu Feng, today is the young lady's day of paying homage to her mother. You all be smart." Zhang Manager finished giving this instruction and then left.
"Hey, new guy?" Just after Zhang Manager left, a group of servants surrounded him.
These people were both men and women, but all of them had entered their youth. They surrounded Chu Feng in the middle, with their lips curled into a malicious smile and their gaze very unfriendly.
Chu Feng was very disgusted by these gazes, but he also knew that new servants would always be bullied by the elders. This was an unwritten rule of Baihuang Villa.
In order to successfully deceive others and facilitate future exploration in this villa, Chu Feng still suppressed his anger and forced a smile, saying, "Dear brothers and sisters, what's the matter?"
"Call who a sister? I'm not that old!" However, as soon as the words were spoken, a woman at least 20 years old slapped Chu Feng across the face.
This slap was very powerful and fast, but at this moment, in Chu Feng's eyes, it was extremely slow. He slightly turned sideways and easily dodged it.
"Ha ha, you dare hide? Do you understand the rules here? Today, you really have to be taught a lesson properly."
Seeing this, the female servant was surprised, but she raised her palm again with great ferocity. At the same time, everyone around started to act. Chu Feng could feel that there were strong winds coming from all directions. These servants, without any shame, surrounded this young boy like this.
At this moment, Chu Feng clenched his fists tightly. He was hesitating - hesitating whether to fight back or not. But with his current level of cultivation, if he exposed himself, the White Tiger Mountain Village would most likely suspect him of being a spy. And at that point, things would be in serious trouble.
"Stop it."
Just then, a sharp command rang out, but the voice was exceptionally sweet, causing Chu Feng's heart to tighten.
Looking in the direction of the voice, Chu Feng's eyes immediately became fixed. Because not far away, there was a tall and beautiful woman standing there.
