Although Chu Xuan was busy with the Heavenly Dao Talisman plan, he would occasionally pay attention to his disciples.

Southern Zone, Eastern Region, Xiang family.

Xiang Xing had returned.

The news of the freak b*stard son of the Xiang family returning quickly spread throughout the Xiang family.

Everyone thought that this monster had already died and did not expect him to suddenly return.

At this moment, Xiang Xing was in the study room of Xiang Bang, the head of the Xiang family. Xiang Bang was also his father.

Originally, Xiang Xing's plan was to cause trouble for some members of the Xiang family after he returned.

However, after he found out from Chu Xuan that there seemed to be a secret hidden behind the matter of his mother, he restrained himself first.

Instead, the first thing he did was to find out about his mother.

Xiang Bang looked at his son. There was no expression on his face, much less the surprise and excitement of a long-awaited reunion between father and son.

His gaze was very calm.

The cultivation level that Xiang Xing revealed at this moment was only the first level of the spirit realm.

"It doesn't matter where you've been all these years. Since you're back, you should stay in the Xiang family's territory. There's no need to pay attention to the gossip," Xiang Bang said calmly.

Xiang Xing looked at his father with a complicated expression.

Ever since he was young, his father's attitude toward him had always been the same. There had been no changes, and he had never felt any care from his father.

Even when he was mocked and bullied in the Xiang family, his father had never stood up for him.

His father had not even bothered examining the strange disease he had.

Was his father's attitude due to his status as an illegitimate son?

Xiang Xing could not figure it out.

"I came back to settle some accounts and investigate some things."

Xiang Xing's gaze carried a hint of coldness as he said this.

Xiang Bang was silent for a moment before he said, "Do you have the ability to do so? Don't bring shame upon yourself. It's up to you whether you want to settle accounts or not."

He then added, "Those in the Xiang family, you are not allowed to kill."

Killing or not killing was not within Xiang Xing's considerations.

He only wanted to vent his anger. If he needed to kill someone in order to vent his anger, he did not mind killing.

If the Xiang family would not tolerate it, then he would leave the Xiang family!

"I'm not sure if I will kill someone. What if I do?"

Xiang Xing said calmly.

"According to the rules of the Xiang family, family members are not allowed to kill one another. They might have mocked and humiliated you, and you can do the same to them, but you are not allowed to kill anyone!"

For the first time, Xiang Bang's tone became serious.

Xiang Xing nodded. If he did not kill them, so be it. Perhaps humiliating them was better than killing them to vent his anger.

Having the person who they once mocked and bullied trampling them under his feet…

That would probably be worse than killing them, right?

"I want to investigate something. It's about my mother!"

Xiang Xing looked straight at Xiang Bang.

However, the expression on Xiang Bang's face did not change much.

"What is there to investigate? Your mother has gone missing."

"Missing? Do you know my mother's background?"

"A maid of the Xiang family."

Xiang Bang looked at him impatiently and said, "Alright, you can leave now."

Xiang Xing pressed his palms on the desk and stared at Xiang Bang. "You are my father. My instincts tell me that you know something."

"Do you know what's going on with my bones?"

"I don't know. You can leave now."

Xiang Bang waved his hand to chase him away.

Xiang Xing did not move. "My bones are innate fiery bones. It is a special physique. Did you really not know, or were you just pretending not to know?"

Xiang Bang's expression changed. It was the first time he looked at Xiang Xing properly. He frowned slightly and asked, "Innate fiery bones? I have never heard of such a special physique. It should be..."

After staring at Xiang Xing for a few breaths, he continued, "It should be the fire elemental physique, not some innate fiery bones!"

Whether it was the fire elemental physique or innate fiery bones, it meant that Xiang Bang knew that he was not a monster.

Xiang Xing grinned and said with a self-deprecating smile, "Regardless of which one it was, you are my father. Why did you sit by and watch me be ridiculed as a monster?"

Xiang Bang was silent for a while before he said, "The fire elemental physique is very special. It requires a special secret technique to be activated in order to stimulate one's talent."

"And your fire elemental physique is even more special."

Xiang Xing's eyes flashed. The key clue to his mother was this fire elemental physique!

In the Southern Zone, or in the entire nine zones, which family had the bloodline of the fire elemental physique?

Perhaps, he would be able to find out some information about his mother from this.

Naturally, Xiang Xing did not think that he had the fire elemental body. If his master said that he was born with the fire bone, then he would not be wrong.

"The Xiang family does not have a secret technique to activate the fire elemental physique, right?"

"Which family has the bloodline of the fire elemental physique? Which family does my mother come from?" Xiang Xing asked.

Xiang Bang frowned and said, "Just stay in the Xiang family's territory. Your mother's matter is not something you can interfere with."

"As expected, you do know. Even if you don't tell me, I can and will find out."

Xiang Xing turned around and left the study.

Seeing Xiang Xing leave, Xiang Bang frowned. After a long while, he said, "Huoying, don't let him investigate this matter."

There was a flash of fire in the study room, and a muffled voice replied, "Yes, Master."

Xiang Xing left the study room feeling stifled. His father knew everything, but had allowed him to be laughed at and bullied anyway.

Whether there was a hidden reason behind this, or if he had no other choice, he could not accept it.

It was time to find someone to vent his anger on.

He walked toward one of the courtyards of the Xiang family.

Just as he arrived at the entrance of the courtyard, he heard a mocking voice, "Yo, isn't this the Xiang family's disgraceful little monster? He didn't die out there, but actually came back!"

Boom!

Xiang Xing's heart was stifled. He could not be bothered to waste his breath. He immediately struck out, knocking the other party to the ground.

The sound of bones breaking could be heard.

"You!"

The other party spat out a mouthful of blood, his face filled with disbelief.

Xiang Xing walked forward. His feet stepped on the other party's body, and the sound of bones breaking could be heard again.

"You're not as good as the person you called trash. What right do you have to be arrogant?!"

At this moment, Xiang Xing felt very comfortable after stepping on an enemy.

He kept going.

"Yo, it's the shame of the Xiang family. You monster, you still have the face to come back?"

Another mocking voice was heard.

Following that, there was a scream. The aura of an Emperor-level cultivator erupted briefly before disappearing.

In this small courtyard, Xiang Xing was taking a stroll.

Every step he took was on someone's body. The sound of bones breaking was like a beautiful melody.

"A bunch of trash. You guys are a waste of resources."

"Say, have you guys been busy eating sh*t all these years? Your cultivation levels haven't improved at all."

"All the resources of the Xiang family have been wasted on you. Are your lives still worth living? Kill yourselves!"

The Xiang family members on the ground were miserable. Their eyes were also burning with rage.

"You, you just attacked your own family. You, you..."

Xiang Xing directly stepped on the other party's face, and his entire face deformed.
