Chapter 79 Siding with His Son

Three gusts of black spiritual qi wound into a sharp cone and blew to Dugu Herong, who made a three-foot wall in front of himself in a hurry. The cone spun forward at the smooth wall and left some gashes on it.

"It's Miss Muyou!"

Xiaotong, who was fighting with five persons from the branch, was suddenly delighted with hope. Dugu Muyou wouldn't easily give up on Dugu Ziteng, since she cured him. Xiaotong fought with even harder, each move full of strength.

At the time, more and more fissures appeared on the wall, which was breaking down. Dugu Herong glinted terror in his eyes and yelled, "Stop!"

He never fought with Dugu Muyou in the trial, but Dugu Qinglan, who gave him a crushing defeat, lost the game to Dugu Muyou. How could he not be afraid of her? He had to admit that Dugu Muyou was no longer the Muggle that she used to be, even though he didn't want to. Moreover, he hadn't recovered from the trial, and therefore he couldn't fight with Dugu Muyou at all. Even if he sent all his men to fight with Dugu Muyou, he still couldn't win.

Dugu Herong pondered over the situation and dodged away from the broken black wall. He yelled at Dugu Muyou, "It's not worth it fighting with me for a waste like him. We are both descendants of the Dugu Family and we are supposed to support the family together in the future. Therefore, it's really not worthwhile to offend me just for him! Have you forgotten the forefather's words?"

"A waste?"

Dugu Muyou questioned rhetorically and intentionally. She looked at Dugu Herong while smiling, for she was quite sensitive to the word. Dugu Herong didn't deserve to mention "forefather's words", for if he remembered the words himself, he wouldn't have done all those evil things in the past.

"Right, Dugu Ziteng's foundation is already ruined and he can no longer cultivate in the future. It's such a pity, but the Dugu family does not raise a waste. Therefore, he is already banished and this is the day when he should leave the Dugu Family. If you stop me, the master won't be happy to see it."

Dugu Ziteng, who was lying on the ground, sat up on his hands. No one could tell what his expression was like on that swollen face even when he was called a "waste".

Dugu Muyou said coldly, "Although he has been banished from the Dugu Family, I mean to keep him in my personal capacity. If you beat him, you are being unrespectful of me. "

Hearing her words, everyone there was shocked. They had never heard of such a thing. Some people even looked up and down at Dugu Ziteng oddly. He was a waste, and not good-looking as well. It didn't make sense if Dugu Muyou kept him for his appearance.

Dugu Herong was no less shocked than anyone else. But he didn't have any excuse to beat Dugu Ziteng after what Dugu Muyou had said. Though he was not satisfied with the outcome, he had to accept it because he dared not fighting with Dugu Muyou at that time.

"Alright. I'll spare Dugu Ziteng for your sake. But the other several people offended me and must be punished. They cannot be your men."

"You guys over there, stop!" Dugu Muyou looked at the other side and said coldly.

She wasn't speaking loudly, but her vigor made everyone tremble with obedience and stop instinctively. Xiaotong dashed to Dugu Ziteng first and tried to bind up the wounds for him.

Dugu Herong felt the muscles on his face twitching. He couldn't bear it anymore and yelled, "Did I ask you to stop? Whose words are you following? Hers or mine?"

The five people from the branch aiming to curry favor with Dugu Herong looked at Dugu Muyou and him hesitantly. Dugu Muyou was the daughter of the master Dugu Zhong and also the champion of the trial, while Dugu Herong was the son of Dugu Xiao. They could afford to offend neither of them, so they felt at a loss.

Dugu Herong became even angrier. He would have started beating them if his men had not been both lying on the ground.

"Dugu Muyou, what do you mean by this? I have made my compromise, but you are still against me. Aren't you too greedy about this? These people have nothing to do with you. Why are you protecting them?"

"I have decided that I will also keep them."

Dugu Muyou shocked everyone with her confident tone.

He could accept that Dugu Muyou kept Dugu Ziteng since Dugu Ziteng had been evicted from the Dugu Family and had been free. However, the others from the branch were selected in the trial and where they went should be arranged by the master. He never heard that they were allocated to Dugu Muyou.

Dugu Herong twitched his lips and smiled instead of becoming angry.

"Are you kidding me? As far as I know, the master kept these people for a special purpose and he will never let you take them. Now that they offended me, they should be punished. If you continue to stop me, you are doing it purposefully. Then we shall go to your father and see who he will support."

Xiaotong and others were even more shocked hearing this. What did he mean by "a special purpose"? Since they were noticed that they could stay at the house, they had been waiting for the arrangement but they never got any further notice.

Dugu Muyou also heard it for the first time, so she pondered over this. It was just as she had guessed _ Dugu Zhong kept so many people from the branch exceptionally, so he must have a purpose.

She wanted to ask more questioned when people gathering at the gate suddenly spread out and left a path in the middle. Dugu Xiao strode into the compound with some followers.

They stood in the compound like some buddha statues and silenced everyone around, which made Dugu Ziteng and others nervous.

Dugu Xiao was fifty-one years old, but he looked younger than his real age. It was also the advantage of many cultivators.

The level of Dugu Xiao stuck since he upgraded to the Seven-color stage of Heaven rank and showed no sign of progress, which made Dugu Xiao very depressed. However, no matter how hard he tried, he could not upgrade to another level and many people said that it was all that he could get to behind his back. After that, Dugu Xiao himself also lost faith and pinned his hope on his son.

Everyone knew that Dugu Xiao valued his son Dugu Herong most. He must be there because someone informed him.

Dugu Herong smiled out of surprise and called, "Father".

Dugu Xiao didn't even look at his son, who was so disappointing recently. But Dugu Xiao couldn't tolerate anyone offending Dugu Herong, since that equaled being unrespectful of him.

"Who beat my son?" Dugu Xiao glanced at the compound and finally stared at Dugu Muyou with his eagle-like eyes. He lowered his voice and said, "Muyou, did you do it?"

Dugu Muyou said gently and replied, "No, I won't beat my cousin of course."

Dugu Xiao snorted loudly and suddenly became sharp, "How dare you cheat me? You beat my son and won't admit it. I'll give you a lesson representing your father!"

As soon as he finished his words, he stretched out his hand and tried to slap at Dugu Muyou.

At first glance, his slap was simple without even a sign of spiritual qi. But Dugu Muyou who was facing him felt the catastrophic power within the slap. It was at least so for a mortal illusionist like her.

The oppression was overwhelmingly strong, which she had never felt from anyone else except Dugu Zhong. Dugu Muyou dared not holding the slap, so she escaped as fast as she could.

"So fast!"

Dugu Xiao was shocked at her speed. Did she really have some special talent? If it was real, she should be wiped out even earlier.

Dugu Xiao squinted and draw at the air. A colorful spiritual snake emerged and rushed to Dugu Muyou.

Dugu Muyou was aware of her weakness since she was cheated by Dugu Haoyu last time. Even though she wanted to run away with all her spiritual qi, she couldn't break through the limit of levels. Suddenly, she thought of the footwork she used to use as a killer to make her body lighter and faster. She tried to use it. To her great surprise, she found that she was twice as fast as before.

Dugu Muyou was so fast that people around her could barely see her, but she wasn't fast at all compared to the spiritual snake.

The colorful spiritual snake wasn't a real animal. In fact, it was the spiritual qi of Dugu Xiao, which can be proved by the seven colors it had. The spiritual snake wasn't large. It was only as thick as one's arm and it was ten feet long. It was as fast as lightning and its mouth was flowing with colorful venom. Within the span of a blink, it had attacked Dugu Muyou twice, from which Dugu Muyou escaped narrowly.

Dugu Muyou bathed in perspiration. She was not so fast as the snake. For now, she could have narrow escapes, but it won't last long. What's more, she was already extremely oppressed confronting a cultivator of Heaven rank. If she had not been forceful, she would have knelt down to him and begged him to spare her.

Dugu Muyou knew that dodging wouldn't work for long, so she took out a dagger and aimed it at the weak point of the spiritual snake as a hidden weapon with all her strength. The once-all-white dagger had become black because it had combined with her refined spiritual qi.

As the saying goes, one should hit where it hurts. Although the spiritual snake wasn't a real animal, its weakest point must be the same as normal snakes since they shared the same appearance. Dugu Muyou's dagger was like a sharp arrow stabbing precisely at its weakest point.

Dugu Xiao's expression changed a bit, but soon he came back to normal again, only he was looking even more coldly at Dugu Muyou.

"She made it?"

Someone in the crown exclaimed out of astonishment, for the snake was actually the spiritual qi of a Heaven-rank cultivator. Liquid of seven colors flew from the place where the dagger stabbed into as if it was the blood of the spiritual snake.

The seven-colored spiritual snaked snarled and twitched its body desperately with all colors shining in the sky. The dagger of Dugu Muyou flew out of the spiritual snake and fell on the ground with its color fainted.

Dugu Muyou was shocked. She turned around and dodged. The next moment, the poisonous fang of that snake came to the place that she used to stood and snapped with the poison spattering, which reached and corroded a corner of her clothes. If Dugu Muyou was any slower, she would have suffered the same fate as the cloth.

Dugu Muyou was terrified and felt helpless for the first time. Was that the gap between a Heaven-rank cultivator and a mortal illusionist? She clenched her fists in helplessness.

There was a glint of complacency in Dugu Xiao's eyes. The girl was too arrogant to show her ability in front of him. What she could do may seem great to others, but when it came to him, she could only kneel down and beg him for mercy.

However, his happiness didn't last long. He suddenly got angry and his teeth were gnashed twice. He called angrily, "Dugu Zhong!"
