Chapter 334: Chapter 306: Meeting an Old Acquaintance
Late at night.After Chu Mu saw him off, a drunken Xie Cangfeng staggered out of the tavern.
He paused at the tavern’s entrance, watching Xie Cangfeng leave. Only after his friend’s figure had vanished from sight did Chu Mu slowly look away.
’Perhaps... he doesn’t have much time left?’
He glanced up at the dark sky, a sudden guess forming in his mind.
They hadn’t seen each other in over a year, but Xie Cangfeng’s words and actions showed he had become a completely different person.
He used to be a man of few words, always weighing each one with extreme care.
This time, however, he was dissolute and cynical.
If he hadn’t confirmed that Xie Cangfeng’s Divine Soul Aura remained unchanged, he would have seriously suspected that his friend had fallen victim to Possession.
It was somewhat plausible that Xie Cangfeng couldn’t accept the heavy blow from the Xie Family’s recent calamity.
But that alone was unlikely to cause such a drastic change in the temperament of a Foundation Establishment Cultivator.
And throughout their hours of conversation, his words, actions, and expressions were all blatantly reckless, as if he had no misgivings whatsoever.
So, the possibility that his days were numbered wasn’t out of the question.
After all, what misgivings would a dying man have?
He speculated in silence for a moment before pushing the thought aside, his mind returning to the conversation he’d had with Xie Cangfeng over the past few hours.
The clamor in the tavern was all one-sided news. The limits of their Cultivation meant that many Cultivators just repeated what others said, so what he heard there could only be taken as a rough reference.
But Xie Cangfeng was clearly different.
His Cultivation was superb, and even with the Xie Family’s decline, his status couldn’t have fallen too low.
The things he said were highly credible.
The Vast Sea Chen Family...
Recalling Xie Cangfeng’s words, he felt an inexplicable shiver run through him.
It was just as Xie Cangfeng had said.
A bloodline clan that had stood for tens of thousands of years, passing down a lineage of humans cultivating with demon bloodlines.
So was this clan human, or demon?
One had to understand that the influence of a Demon Beast bloodline was impossible to avoid, given the difference in species.
Let alone a bloodline as tyrannical and domineering as a Flood Dragon’s!
Moreover, although bloodline cultivation was inevitably shackled by the bloodline itself—just like Wangcai, whose dire wolf bloodline kept him stuck at Tier One Perfection, unable to break through to Tier Two no matter what methods Chu Mu tried.
