In the dim little stone house, an ancient atmosphere permeated everywhere.

The furnishings in the small stone house were particularly simple.

A wooden table, a wooden chair, and a bed.

Of course, on the wooden table, there was also a dim candle standing.

Besides this, there was nothing else.

Although the furnishings were quite simple.

Overall, however, the small stone house was kept relatively clean.

Mu Tian cautiously walked into the small stone house.

And from beginning to end, he kept his waist bent, his head lowered, his eyes always fixed on the ground, not daring to look anywhere else.

That cautious demeanor bore no resemblance to the usual demeanor of the Mu Family's Family Head.

It was somewhat like in ancient times when a minister would enter the palace to meet the emperor, too frightened even to breathe heavily.

If an outsider were to be here and witness this scene, they would definitely be very shocked.

Mu Tian, as the clan leader of the Coastal Mu Family, was an absolute heavyweight, a pinnacle existence.

Looking at the entire Coastal area, there were only a few people who could be considered his peers.

There were almost none who could command such respect from him.

Yet at this moment, Mu Tian was so cautious, and his attitude was so respectful.

This was truly rare.

"Raise your head!"

At this moment, that aged voice rang out once more.

Upon hearing this, only then did Mu Tian dare to raise his head and look forward.

Not far in front, on a small wooden bed, sat a figure with crossed legs.

By the faint candlelight, one could barely make out.

It was an old man in the twilight of his years.

Judging from his appearance alone, his age was estimated to be over eighty.

His hair, beard, and eyebrows were all silvery white, not a single black strand.

As for his skin, it was dark and shriveled, like dry bark, very aged.

However, if one carefully observed his eyes, they would find.

In his gaze, there was a piercing gleam.

It was not at all the kind of gaze an eighty-year-old should have.

Seeing this, Mu Tian's entire body trembled, and he hurriedly knelt on the ground, kowtowing in great respect to the old man on the bed, saying, "Junior Mu Tian, greet the Mu Family's Old Ancestor!"

"Hmm, rise!"

The white-haired old man said indifferently.

Upon hearing this, Mu Tian dared to stand up from the ground, looking at the white-haired old man with great respect, not daring to be the least bit presumptuous.

Although he was honored as the clan leader of the Mu Family, the current leader of the family, with a very noble status.

But in front of the white-haired old man, he did not dare to put on any airs.

Because this white-haired old man was the clan leader two generations before, named Mu Xiangnan.

At eighty-seven years old this year, in terms of seniority, Mu Tian must call him grandfather.

This in the Mu Family, was absolutely an ancestor-level person.

Of course, the reason Mu Tian showed such respect to Mu Xiangnan was not just because of his high seniority and age.

This was only a small part of the reason.

More so, it was because of Mu Xiangnan's terrifying strength!

It was said that twenty years ago, Mu Xiangnan's strength had already broken through to the Earth Rank Late Stage.

Becoming the Mu Family's strongest at that time.

Even now, no one in the Mu Family has surpassed him.

In these twenty years, Mu Xiangnan has been in seclusion training in the rear mountain, making efforts to reach the Earth Rank Perfection.

And during this period, he never came down from the mountain, nor did he have any contact with the outside world.

As a result, everyone outside, even the clansmen within the Mu Family, thought he had passed away.

Only Mu Tian, as the clan leader, knew that Mu Xiangnan had not passed away, still living well, and his realm was continuously progressing.

Only, Mu Tian had never revealed this to anyone else, including the people in the Mu Family, he never said it.

Because Mu Xiangnan had explicitly instructed him, unless the Mu Family faced a life-and-death crisis, no one was allowed to disturb his cultivation.

Naturally, Mu Tian kept silent about this, and in accordance with the agreement, he never disturbed Mu Xiangnan once in twenty years.

But now, the Mu Family was already at a critical juncture of life and death.

All the strong practitioners in the clan had been killed by Chen Feng.

And Chen Feng could break in any time, at which point it would be the end of the entire Mu Family.

In such a time, Mu Tian could no longer care about so much, and could only come to ask this strongest person in the Mu Family to descend the mountain.

"Speak, why have you come to see me so late at night?"

Mu Xiangnan glanced at Mu Tian and asked indifferently.

"Reporting to the Old Ancestor, our Mu Family is facing an unprecedented crisis!"

Mu Tian clasped his fists and quickly said.

"Oh? What crisis?"

Upon hearing this, Mu Xiangnan remained calm, showing no emotional fluctuation.

Mu Tian took a deep breath and then narrated the recent events to Mu Xiangnan in detail.

Of course, the matter of Chen Feng exterminating all strong practitioners in the clan was something Mu Tian did not dare to conceal in the slightest.

If Mu Xiangnan found out he lied, the consequences would be severe.

After hearing Mu Tian's words, Mu Xiangnan's expression instantly became gloomy.

He glanced at Mu Tian, squinted his eyes, and asked coldly, "So, do you mean that the strong practitioners painstakingly cultivated by the Mu Family over the years, under your leadership, are all dead?"

Mu Xiangnan's icy tone made Mu Tian tremble all over, and he hurriedly prostrated on the ground, banging his head three times, saying, "It is Mu Tian's incompetence that has squandered the Mu Family's foundation, begging the Old Ancestor to punish me!"

Seeing this, Mu Xiangnan's expression softened a bit.

He snorted coldly, then waved his hand impatiently, saying, "Enough, whether it's your fault or not, I have my own count in my heart, now is not the time to pursue this, everything will be dealt with afterwards, you get up first!"

"Mu Tian dare not!"

Mu Tian said tremblingly.

"I told you to get up!"

Mu Xiangnan said coldly.

"As you command!"

Only then did Mu Tian dare to stand up from the ground.

"That Chen Feng, have you investigated him clearly, does he have any background? Is he from the Ancient Martial Sect side?"

Mu Xiangnan looked at Mu Tian and asked repeatedly.

"As far as I know, he's just a loose cultivator, with no background, not someone from the Ancient Martial Sect!"

Mu Tian quickly said.

"Oh? Since he could wipe out Meng Shi and others, it indicates his strength is at least above the Earth Rank Middle Stage, for someone with such strength to be just a loose cultivator? Are you sure?"

Mu Xiangnan squinted his eyes, questioning.

"Old Ancestor, I pledge with my life, he is definitely just a loose cultivator, no sect!"

Mu Tian quickly guaranteed.

"If that's the case, then it's much easier to handle!"

Mu Xiangnan nodded thoughtfully and said.

At first, he was worried Chen Feng might be a disciple of some Ancient Martial Sect or Ancient Martial Family.

In that case, even he would need to treat it with caution.

After all, any Ancient Martial force was not something the current Mu Family could afford to provoke.
