Infinite hatred gnawed at his heart, igniting his soul and causing his Divine Thought to experience stabbing pains like the cuts of a knife.

Chu Xisheng recognized the man below wearing the First Grade Duke apparel, with a moon-shaped seal on his forehead—a middle-aged scholar.

Even if the man turned to ash, he would recognize him!

It was this very man who personally buried him in Qin Muge’s coffin, who hammered the Soul Suppressing Nails into the casket.

—That was the current Duke Wei, Left Assistant Minister of Criminal Justice, Chu Rulai!

Chu Xisheng’s breathing was heavy, veins on his body protruding fiercely, his fingernails deeply digging into his flesh.

The First Grade Duke below seemed to sense something, looking up as if searching for something.

However, just before their gazes met, Chu Xisheng felt a vigorous tug on his sleeve, forcing him to step back from the railing of the boat.

It was Chu Yunyun tugging at Chu Xisheng’s sleeve, her eyes filled with gravity, her words piercing straight into Chu Xisheng’s ear: “Chu Rulai’s cultivation has reached the Second Grade, he is on the Earthly List, and he has two of your Divine Artifacts at his side.

Your ‘White Horse is Not a Horse’ will be seen through by him within one breath.

Just endure for now, there will be other days.”

With the talent Chu Xisheng was currently displaying, he could contend with Chu Rulai within at most eight years.

Within fifteen years, he would be invincible under the heavens, dominating the Heavenly List with his blade!

But if he were to reveal his identity now, he would be nothing more than an ant in Chu Rulai’s eyes.

Chu Xisheng took a deep breath, struggling free from those extreme, violent, and mournful emotions.

Most of these emotions came from the original owner of the body, which caused a momentary loss of control of his Divine Thought.

Chu Xisheng also noticed that Lu Luanti and Ji Qianqian were looking at them with puzzled expressions, evidently noticing the ‘siblings’ unusual behavior.

Chu Xisheng responded with a smile, carefully showing a hint of surprise on his face: “It’s quite unexpected, I didn’t think that the West Capital Chu Family’s Blood Vengeance Saint would actually be a woman.”

Lu Luanti’s attention was indeed diverted, as she poked her head out again, curiously looking down: “Is it the woman dressed in white beside Chu Rulai?

She looks very young, only about fifteen or sixteen.”

Ji Qianqian recognized the woman, but she remembered that she was just a hunter with limited experience, so she kept her mouth shut.

She was also harboring doubts.

The look on Chu Xisheng’s face when he saw Chu family on the ground earlier seemed a bit off.

Could it be that Chu Xisheng knew the Duke Wei and his daughter?

But how could the Chu siblings, who hailed from Taishan County and belonged to a local prominent family, recognize Chu Rulai given that their family was destroyed by a sudden flood, leading to their demise?

Zhou Liangchen then spoke up: “This lady should be named Chu Ming, aged sixteen.

She’s the biological daughter of Duke Wei Chu Rulai.

Currently, she ranks seventy-ninth on the Qingyun General List and is also known as a Super Genius throughout the Capital City.

However, she used to practice swordsmanship and was the fourth seat among Shenxiu’s Ten Outstanding Swordsmen.”

Chu Xisheng of course knew that the woman was named Chu Ming.

She was one of his older female cousins.

She was also present at the scene when he was buried alive in the coffin.

Meanwhile, on the ground, Duke Wei Chu Rulai withdrew his gaze from the boat.

Just a moment ago, he had sensed a gaze filled with deep, cold Enemy Intent, but when he turned to look, the owner of that gaze had already vanished.

Chu Rulai was unconcerned.

He had climbed his way from a lowly commoner to his position today, overcoming countless obstacles and making innumerable enemies along the way.

Especially since his appointment as Vice Minister of Criminal Justice last May, as he held the reins of power in the Ministry, overseeing capital punishments and reviewing criminal cases, he had incurred the deep-seated hatred of many Jianghu people and criminals’ families.

It was just another coward showing his face.

He continued to stand with his hands behind his back, speaking to his daughter in a gentle voice: “After you enter the Formless Divine Sect, you must pay attention to your conduct at all times.

Don’t give the Elders of the sect any reason to fault you.

Be friendly with your fellow Disciples and maintain good relations with them.

Formless Divine Mountain is unlike the Chu family.

You can act willfully at home under the pampering of your mother and me, but on Formless Divine Mountain, no one will care that you are the daughter of the current Duke or the direct descendant of the Chu family.

So no matter what you do, you must think thrice before acting.

Ming’er, you have grown up and should no longer behave like a child.”

Chu Ming, sixteen years old, was tall and graceful, with features that somewhat resembled Chu Xisheng’s—her eyebrows curved like crescents, her nose fine and distinguished.

She too had a moon-shaped seal on her forehead, and her eyes held a touch of naïveté: “Father, I don’t think this is a good idea.

The Formless Divine Sect is very wary of noble families and is particularly vigilant towards our West Capital Chu Family.

How could they entrust the Blood Vengeance Saint to me with ease?”

She laughed lightly: “Look, the Formless Divine Sect has been so far unwilling to give me the status of an Inner Sect Disciple, claiming they’ll take me to the Formless God’s Blood Vengeance Divine Blade for recognition before deciding what to do with me.”

Chu Rulai shook his head slightly, with almost no fluctuation in his tone: “The Blood Vengeance Saint is a matter of great importance, and it is only natural for the Formless Divine Sect to be cautious.

However, hearts can be warmed.

After your entry, you need not concern yourself with the West Capital Chu Family or the court any longer—all matters should prioritize the sect.

Over time, the Elders of the Formless Divine Sect will surely change their opinion of you.

They don’t have much time left.

As long as you make no mistakes, they won’t have other choices.”

“Not necessarily,” Chu Ming frowned slightly: “Didn’t the Formless Divine Sect find a Blood Vengeance Candidate in East State?

That Chu Xisheng, the Seventh Seat among Shenxiu’s Ten Outstanding Sabers?”
