Chapter 234: Chapter 232: For What Purpose

"Duan Chen, where is your master, Master Canghai?"

A flash of killing intent appeared in Duan Chen’s eyes but disappeared instantly. He clasped his hands and replied, "Senior, my Master, like Senior Feng Shisan, also refused to pay tribute with Spirit Stones and was killed by the people of Dragon Origin Star!"

Yan Rufeng’s body trembled, emitting an overwhelming killing intent. He roared angrily, "It’s those people from Dragon Origin Star again..."

Qingyun, Duan Chen, Panyue, and Mu Chen deeply sensed Yan Rufeng’s anger. At that moment, they saw hope in Yan Rufeng once again.

"Senior, calm your anger!" The four of them said in unison.

Yan Rufeng looked towards Mu Chen and Panyue and asked, "Who are you two?"

Mu Chen clasped his hands and said, "In response to the senior, the junior is Mu Chen from the Carefree Pavilion."

Yan Rufeng calmed down and said, "Mu Chen, if I’m not mistaken, your master Yun Yazi has also passed away, right?"

Mu Chen bowed and said, "Senior, you are correct. My master also died at the hands of the experts from Dragon Origin Star that year..."

In his previous life, Yan Rufeng had no sect and ventured alone in the Cultivation World. He had few friends on Canglong Star. Now, reborn and returning to Canglong Star, learning that all his friends had fallen, his heart was filled with immense sorrow and anger. He suppressed his fury and growled lowly.

"Those who harm my brothers shall die!"

"Senior, you are from the Immortal Domain. You must not harm the people of the Mortal Domain out of impulse. If it invokes divine punishment, it will not be worth it!" Qingyun hurriedly said.

"Am I impulsive? Divine punishment, do you think Yan Rufeng would fear it!"

"Heh!"

Yan Rufeng coldly laughed, glaring at Qingyun.

"Qingyun, regarding the people of Dragon Origin Star demanding you to pay tribute with Spirit Stones, tell me, how did you handle it?"

"Se... Senior..."

Qingyun stammered.

Yan Rufeng calmly said, "Qingyun, are you embarrassed to say it? Then let me say it for you. You collect Spirit Stones from your sect’s forces every month just to pay tribute to them, right?"

Qingyun trembled fiercely and thought, "How does he know about this..."

Qingyun dared not conceal it and quickly replied, "Senior, you are correct. We have been paying tribute to Dragon Origin Star with Spirit Stones for over seven thousand years."’

"Hmph!"

Yan Rufeng snorted coldly, "For over seven thousand years, and you still have the audacity to speak!"

Qingyun lowered his head, saying nothing.

Yan Rufeng pointed at Qingyun, Duan Chen, and Mu Chen, and angrily said, "You three have already reached the pinnacle of Cultivators, haven’t you? For over seven thousand years, not only did you not find ways to avenge your masters, but you also allowed yourselves to be slaughtered by outsiders. If you continue to pay tribute like this, Canglong Star will eventually perish. How can you face your deceased masters?"

The three had no power to refute. At this moment, Panyue bowed and said, "Senior, it’s not that we allow ourselves to be slaughtered, but the people of Dragon Origin Star are too powerful. Even a small family there has several ascension-level experts. How can we contend with them?"

Yan Rufeng turned to look at Panyue and said, "If I’m not mistaken, you are the flower boy by Sister Qingyue’s side, Panyue, aren’t you?"

Panyue bowed and said softly, "Senior has keen eyes. The junior is indeed Panyue."

"Heh!"

Yan Rufeng coldly laughed, "Last night, before I crossed the tribulation, I heard an elder from your Green Moon Palace named Shou Yue say that Sister Qingyue betrayed your Green Moon Palace. Explain this to me, what is going on?"

Panyue was flustered but dared not hide the truth, and said, "In response to the senior, Palace Master Qingyue did not betray us."

"Oh!"

Yan Rufeng then asked, "If she didn’t betray, why would Shou Yue say so?"

"Because, because..." Panyue stammered.

"Because of what?"

Panyue hurriedly said, "Senior, Palace Master Qingyue suddenly refused to pay tribute with Spirit Stones to Dragon Origin Star and wanted to gather everyone to resist them with all their might, so, so..."

"Hmph!"

Yan Rufeng snorted coldly, "So you all marginalized her and accused her of betrayal?"

Panyue hurriedly said, "It’s not as the senior said."

"Then how is it?" Yan Rufeng asked fiercely.

Panyue retreated a bit and said, "Senior, we did it for the sake of all the disciples of Green Moon Palace. We had no other choice..."

Yan Rufeng’s eyes were filled with anger, "Panyue, stop talking. Take me to see Sister Qingyue immediately!"

Panyue bowed and said, "The junior will immediately take the senior to see Palace Master Qingyue!"

Yan Rufeng turned to Qingyun and the others and said, "You three come along too!"

The three bowed and said, "Yes, Senior!"

At the residence of Green Moon Palace, on the floating peak in the center of the sect, Yan Rufeng had been waiting for a long time.

The mountains of Green Moon Palace were still as grand as ever, and the scenery of Green Moon Palace was still as beautiful and magnificent.

Looking at the familiar scene in front of him, Yan Rufeng couldn’t help but recall his past life.

In his past life, Yan Rufeng was rebellious. When his cultivation reached a modest achievement, he walked around with a disdainful attitude, offending many people.

Yan Rufeng, wandering the Cultivation World, was often hunted by enemies. Once, severely injured, he fled to Green Moon Palace. Due to excessive blood loss, he fainted. When he woke up, the first thing he saw was a smiling face.

"Heh heh!"

"What’s your name?"

"Yan Rufeng!"

"You are the infamous Yan Rufeng whom everyone wants to kill."

"Yes, that’s me."

"Hee hee!"

"I am Qingyue, can we be friends?"

"Ha..."

"Why not?"

Qingyue pouted and said, "But you have too many enemies. It’s frightening. Now I don’t want to be your friend anymore."

"Heh!"

Yan Rufeng laughed and got up, saying, "If so, to not burden you, I will leave..."

Before Qingyue could react, Yan Rufeng had already left Green Moon Palace.

Qingyue snorted in anger, "How can he be like this, I just wanted to joke with him, and he left like that, so boring..."

However, not long after, Yan Rufeng fainted again. Upon learning, Qingyue hurriedly ran over, brought Yan Rufeng back to Green Moon Palace, and carefully took care of him for two months. Yan Rufeng recovered but only said a few words of thanks to Qingyue before leaving Green Moon Palace without hesitation.

Another year passed. When Yan Rufeng and Qingyue met again, it was because he came searching for Yi Mu.

Upon hearing that Yan Rufeng had come to Green Moon Palace, Qingyue ran happily to him.

"Rufeng, you’re here!"

"I am here."

"Hee hee!"

Qingyue smiled, "Let me guess why you came..."

"No need to guess, I came looking for someone!"

"Heh heh!"

Qingyue covered her mouth and laughed, "You came to Green Moon Palace to find someone, could it be me!"

"No!"

Qingyue pouted, somewhat unhappy.

"Then who did you come to find?"

"Yi Mu!"

"Who is Yi Mu?"

"My fiancée!"

Qingyue’s expression changed, "We don’t have anyone named Yi Mu in Green Moon Palace. You can leave."

Yan Rufeng said no more and turned to leave.

Half a year later, Yan Rufeng, through various inquiries, found out that Yi Mu was in Green Moon Palace.

Yan Rufeng sneaked into Green Moon Palace and found Yi Mu. Upon hearing that Qingyue had hidden her, Yan Rufeng went to confront Qingyue.

"Why did you hide my fiancée?"

"Why should she be your fiancée?"

"She saved my life!"

"I saved your life too!"

"But you are different from her."

"Heh!"

Qingyue coldly laughed, "Just because of that joke?"

Yan Rufeng nodded.

"Heh heh heh..."

Qingyue burst into laughter.

"Yan Rufeng, I don’t want to see you. Take your fiancée and get out of Green Moon Palace right now..."

Yan Rufeng left. Although they met a few times after that, they never spoke more than a few words to each other...

"Sigh..."

Yan Rufeng let out a long sigh. As soon as he turned, he saw a familiar figure.

"Sister Qingyue!" Yan Rufeng exclaimed.

Qingyue had tears in her eyes, holding them back from falling, she weakly asked.

"This time, why have you come again?"
