Zhang Tushan

Xiang Mu was stunned upon hearing this. He was indeed avoiding this point; otherwise, he would not have stayed away from the Xiang Family for so long.

Just as she said, he was a coward at heart, always doing things to numb himself in his daily life.

It was all just to keep himself from thinking about this matter. Yes, he really was a coward.

He didn't dare to face or escape this problem, using the excuse that he wasn't worthy to leave.

Yet he had never made any effort to fight for it, nor had he ever asked for the other person's wishes; it was all just his own wishful thinking.

Now, hearing these words, he finally recognized what was in his heart. If he kept avoiding it, he would eventually develop a Heart Demon.

As for the Path of Heartlessness, he was clear about what it entailed. Once one Cultivated it, they would no longer be a complete person.

Can a person without emotions still be called a person? Although one would be free of pain and indifferent to everything, what would be the point of that?

But he now understood why some people would choose to Cultivate this Path of Heartlessness. Without experiencing certain things, one cannot understand the determination of those who Cultivate the Path of Heartlessness at the time.

Those who Cultivate the Path of Heartlessness have all experienced extraordinary mental pain, leaving their hearts numb.

If he let her Cultivate the Path of Heartlessness, then he, Xiang Mu, would truly not be a man.

Su Yu and his companion watched the change in Xiang Mu's expression and knew he had made up his mind.

Xiang Mu looked at Su Yu and his companion. "I think I should make a trip to Qingqiu; I can no longer avoid these things."

"I feel that the heart palpitations I once had have returned. Yes, they have returned."

Su Yu and his companion nodded with a smile. "Don't be afraid anymore. You should be clear about the Path of Heartlessness. Although that thing is very powerful to Cultivate, its side effects are very obvious."

"If you don't go, you might suffer for the rest of your life."

Thinking of this, Xiang Mu looked at the two of them, a bit embarrassed. "Could you two accompany me on this trip?"

"I rarely interact with women, so I don't know what to do."

"With you two there, I will feel more at ease, and you can give me some experience, right?"

Su Yu heard this and nodded. Originally, he had another purpose for coming here.

"Hmm, we will accompany you. Just don't back out when the time comes. What about the matter of teaching your Family the Dao of the Zither?"

"Don't worry about that for now; that matter is not important. We can talk about it when there is time."

"My matter is more important. And I think the people in my Family will understand me. From my visit just now, I know they will support me."

When saying this, a hint of a different emotion was hidden on Xiang Mu's face.

But just as his voice fell, a middle-aged man who looked full of dignity arrived before the three of them.

Su Yu looked at this person and immediately recognized him as Xiang Mu's father, who had the cultivation of the Peak of Body Integration, just one step away from Mahayana.

Xiang Mu looked at the person who appeared before him, his eyes moved.

"Father, you finally appeared."

"I originally didn't intend to appear. I didn't want to see my weak son."

"You didn't even dare to face your own heart. I had always treated her like my own daughter."

"Yet you did such a thing. How do you expect me to explain it to them? You must know that we have a good relationship with Tushan."

"Yet you hurt someone else's daughter to that extent. Fortunately, you just woke up to it, otherwise I wouldn't have appeared. Go, go and bring Tu Luoning back."

"If you have any difficulties, don't be afraid. Your father will support you; just go do it boldly."

"Thank you, Father. I will definitely bring her back."

Su Yu watched the two of them and felt it was a bit strange. Xiang Mu was still in his elderly appearance, but his father looked like a middle-aged man.

Just then, Xiang Mu's father spoke up: "Are you planning to go see her like this? You look much older than me now."

Xiang Mu reacted, transformed, and turned back into the appearance of someone around thirty. "This will do."

Xiang Yan looked at Su Yu and his companion. "You must be the two Elders from the Star Sea Sect."

"I was worried that Xiang Mu wouldn't know what to do, but since you two are willing to accompany him, I am relieved. Thank you both."

"Not at all. Elder Xiang has also helped us quite a bit in the past."

"Is that so? It seems he has made some good friends."

"You should set off now. Don't keep others waiting for too long. Once the Path of Heartlessness is Cultivated, there will be no chance left."

Xiang Mu nodded. "Let's go. Without further ado, let's head to Tushan."

Having said that, the three of them set off.

Su Yu did not agree with the idea that the Path of Heartlessness could not be reversed, even though he could not do it himself right now.

However, he felt that as long as he studied it, relying on the Proficiency Panel, it would not be a very difficult task.

The three arrived at the Teleportation Formation. After this teleportation, they would go directly into the territory of the Yao Race.

There were some people in the Yao Race who disliked the Human Race, but if they had a token from the Gao Family, they would restrain themselves quite a bit.

A flash of white light passed, and the three arrived in the territory of the Yao Race.

There was still quite a distance to Tushan. After all, Tushan was not simple; they could only enter the outer perimeter of Tushan.

Tushan and the Xiang Family were not on the same level.

Tushan was one of the three top forces of the Yao Race, and it had an Old Ancestor at the Undergoing Tribulation stage.

Their Xiang Family only had a good relationship because many fox demons from Tushan had married into their Family; otherwise, they would have had no opportunity to establish a connection with Tushan.

Moreover, the Xiang Family had a very good reputation. Except for that one incident with Xiang Mu, which had caused the relationship between the two families to cool down significantly.

Xiang Mu looked at Su Yu and his companion. "Let's go. I don't know if you have ever been to the Yao Race's territory."

Ling Wanqing shook her head. "This is our first time here. There are quite a lot of the Human Race here too."

"Hmm, there are quite a few of the Human Race living here. After all, there are those from our side who married over, and many men have married into the Yao Race here."

"Some Yao Race societies are matriarchal, so the situations are all different."

"But don't worry, as long as we don't cause trouble, the people of the Yao Race won't care that we've come here."

"And our Gao Family has some reputation among the Yao Race."

Su Yu and his companion looked at the surrounding situation; it was indeed so. No one would come to make things difficult for them, as they all had the Gao Family's token hanging at their waists.

As the three walked further inside, the number of the Human Race appeared fewer and fewer, one could say they were very few, and even apart from the three of them, there were no other members of the Human Race.

Xiang Mu looked ahead. "Not far ahead is Tushan. We are almost there. The closer I get, the more nervous I become."

Su Yu and his companion smiled. "Don't be afraid. Follow your heart and do it."

Su Yu sensed the location of that thing and found it.

At this moment, Ling Wanqing looked at Tushan in front of her. In a certain sense, this place was full of "fox spirits," yet she had come here with Su Yu.

She just felt that something was not quite right.
