Chapter 400: The Wind God’s Reward

The Wind God!
Finally, after Mo Mo was repelled, he activated his secret technique ahead of time!
Grasping the tiger-patterned nine-ring gold sword with one hand, his sudden burst of power threw the Second Master into chaos, exposing his weaknesses and giving Kai Xin an opportunity…
Cough!!
With a single sword swing, the Second Master’s body trembled, and his strength vanished instantly.
The Wind God’s eyes sharpened as he stretched out his left hand, pressing gently but swiftly toward the latter’s chest. This unfilial disciple, who had benefited from his care for decades, lost his protective barriers—his body became as weak as tofu, his chest collapsing instantly. Blood streamed down from his lips in shock.
Boom!!
Like a gold brick toppling a jade pillar, the Second Master knelt before the Wind God.
The Red Flame Old Monster rushed into the courtyard wall and witnessed the Second Master’s death. His body trembled, and without hesitation, he tried to flee…
Hmph!
The Wind God snorted coldly. The Old Monster was struck like by lightning, his breath disrupted, and he staggered.
Mo Mo got up just in time to see the Wind God vanish like a ghost from his original position. The distance of over twenty meters shrank to nothing in an instant.
“Master, spare my life!”
Already severely injured and filled with guilt, the Red Flame Old Monster dared not resist when he saw that the Wind God seemed to have regained his strength. The Wind God grabbed his neck, sealed his internal energy, and threw him to the ground like trash. He quickly kowtowed, begging for mercy. Kai Xin and Mo Mo watched in astonishment.
This was a master at the Liberation Realm…
But those who kill their masters and ancestors deserve to die without mercy!
The Wind God, with his white hair moving as if in a breeze and a face as cold as frost, stepped forward toward the Red Flame Old Monster: “I can forgive everything you’ve done to me… If your junior sister were still alive, maybe she too would plead for my mercy… But sadly…”
With a flick of his finger, a bloody hole appeared on the Old Monster’s forehead.
Kai Xin hadn’t moved since drawing his sword, silently watching the Wind God eliminate those two unfilial disciples. His heart was in turmoil.
What kind of master was this, who had trained three masters at the Liberation Realm?
Each of his three disciples possessed a powerful martial art—gold and silver rings, swordsmanship, Red Flame Palm…
What shocked Kai Xin even more was the Wind God’s strength. Blocking the Second Master’s attack with one hand was somewhat similar to Lu Xiaofeng’s Lingxi Yi Zhi, though not as powerful, yet not far off. Then there was that technique that transmitted through sound waves—not the Buddha’s Lion Roar, but still capable of affecting a person’s energy flow, which was extremely formidable.

The final, silent finger movement was actually a genuine martial arts masterpiece—the Finger Snap Technique.
Thinking of this, Kai Xin took a deep breath, walked over to help Mo Mo up, handed her three Jade Dew Pills, and gazed at Wind God’s sad and desolate back, filled with deep emotions:
Indeed, people’s fates vary. After all the hardships he had endured, he still hadn’t obtained the Power of Changing Stars, while Mo Mo somehow received the trust of Wind God’s former disciple. With such a series of tasks completed, the reward must be substantial…
And moreover…
If he wasn’t mistaken, Wind God had forced himself to use a secret technique, exhausting his bodily functions to the point of exhaustion. It was time for Mo Mo to take over Wind God’s legacy.
Sure enough!
Wind God turned his head.
Both were shocked. The once majestic Wind God now seemed to have aged dozens of years suddenly—his face pale, his gaze blurred, his aura gone, as if he had no more attachments to the world.
“You two kids, come here.”
Mo Mo and Kai Xin exchanged a glance and promptly approached Wind God without hesitation.
Having settled his matters in mind, Wind God sighed leisurely:
“It’s unfortunate for my disciples to have to rely on you two young ones.”
“…”
“Your name is Mo Mo, right?”
Wind God was clearly a good person. When he looked at Mo Mo, his eyes were filled with kindness, his voice aged and heart-wrenching: “My Shou Er, at her age, was just as beautiful as you… When you shielded me with your sword, you were just like her too. You’re a kind child.”
At this moment, Wind God was merely an old man with tears in his eyes, on his deathbed, reminiscing about the past. Everything around him was blurred, but his memories remained truly touching.
Mo Mo slowly bent down, tears falling from her veil, leaving clear traces on her dress.
This girl…
Kai Xin felt a headache, but soon resolved it. After all, he didn’t know much about Wind God’s background or about that “Shou Er” who entrusted Mo Mo with the task. So his emotions weren’t as strong as Mo Mo’s. But being able to cry in front of an NPC meant the story must be quite sentimental.
“I knew it… The person chosen by Shou Er… can’t be wrong…”
Wind God looked at Mo Mo with satisfaction and kindness:
“Before dying, to have someone inherit my skills is a small blessing from heaven for this blind old man of mine.”
As he spoke, he turned his gaze toward Kai Xin.

“You’ve helped me kill three of those wretches; you’re truly my savior… Unfortunately, I have nothing valuable to offer in return except my skills. But time is short—please choose whether you’d like to learn palm techniques, gold and silver rings, or swordsmanship. These are the martial arts I taught those three wretches, and I’m sure you’re already familiar with them.”
“…”
Kai Xin frowned in surprise.
The difference in treatment was indeed huge.
All the precious teachings were given to Mo Mo, while he, who had done so much, was only given the martial arts of those wretches—just one style. This old man…
He racked his brains but didn’t dare voice his thoughts. After a moment’s hesitation, he replied, “Thanks to the kindness of Senior Wind God, I would like to learn Third Master’s Red Flame Palm.”
“…”
A hint of approval flashed in Wind God’s cloudy eyes. “Good taste. Among my four disciples, the third one is the most skilled, and Red Flame Palm is especially outstanding. No wonder he was able to kill that wretch of mine. You’re quite good—really good.” With that, he took out a secret manual from his bosom.
Kai Xin accepted Wind God’s reward without hesitation.
Red Flame Palm:
Arm Strength: 78, Foundation: 86, Comprehension: 80, Movement Skills: 80. Internal energy requirement: “Life and Death Realm.” Training condition: “Frosty Strength” must reach Master level.
Upon seeing the training requirements for Red Flame Palm, Kai Xin frowned and quickly took out a deep blue martial arts manual from his Qiankun Bag—obtained from one of Red Flame’s disciples. He finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Frosty Strength:
Arm Strength: 54, Foundation: 57, Comprehension: 60, Movement Skills: 60. Internal energy requirement: “Mysterious Realm.” Training condition: Any top-tier palm technique must reach Master level.
With these two manuals, Kai Xin felt relieved, knowing this trip had been worthwhile. Both were elite palm techniques, precious secrets from his past life—especially Red Flame Palm, which was invaluable.
Watching Wind God lead Mo Mo into the secret chamber behind the rockery, Kai Xin shifted his gaze and searched the bodies of the two masters. Finding nothing, he wasn’t surprised—after all, it was Wind God who had done it. But… he had single-handedly killed the First Master, so his body should still be undiscovered.
With a quick step, Kai Xin rushed out of the manor and headed toward where the First Master’s body lay.
