Chapter 1807: 24.68 Sixth Violet Star - Before Departure
The talk about completely restoration of missing limbs and rebirth sound impossible in this world. However, the fact that it was already happening or already happened cannot be denied. That’s why Long Tian had been on guard towards that youngest master of the Pei Clan. Someone so sinister enough to want their whole family to suffer is not something a simple young man can do. That is unless the soul inside that young vessel is already an adult soul.
Even though Mu Liao is doubtful about the existence of rebirth as the current marshal had suggested, he does think that the movements made by the Pei Clan were something beyond what he expected of them. It was as if someone had replaced the head of this clan.
Mu Liao said, "Alright. I will investigate the Pei Clan secretly as you wish."
"There is no need to risk life in danger. I have sent people in before and none of them have come out alive. It can be said that whatever is happening inside the mansion of the Pei Family, no one had seen it before. All spies that entered that mansion had never returned. Maybe something evil is happening in that place," said Long Tian.
The Mu Patriarch asked, "Is there no way to investigate the Pei Clan?"
"I’ve tried it before, however they do not approve of it and even wanted to sue me for trespassing. I’ve stopped as I do not have any proof to allow me to enter their territory," said Marshal Long Tian.
Mu Liao said, "As long as you have proof of any of their crimes you should be able to take them by surprise is it?"
"What do you plan to do?" Long Tian asked.
Mu Liao smiled and said, "That group, the Pei Clan, is gathering to hit the Killer Pavilion. If we caught them would they be enough proof of the Pei Clan’s sins?"
"If you catch them alive, maybe we can," said Long Tian.
The Mu Patriarch, Mu Yao said, "If they send dead soldiers then you will have to move faster, A’Liao."
"I will do my best to catch at least one," said Mu Liao.
Long Tian said, "Then Uncle Mu, let’s do something about your missing arm and leg. It would need a whole month for full recovery, these pills were something the seniors who cured my father had given to us. One pill a day and a part of your limbs would grow everyday. It’s just that it might be a bit painful and itchy. But it shouldn’t last more than a few minutes."
A jade bottle with 30 pills was placed on the palm of Mu Yao. The size of the pills is only as small as pellets when the Mu Patriarch had checked on it. He immediately took one and under the gaze of Mu Liao and Long Tian, the dried skin on his missing leg and arm had started bleeding.
An intense prickly pain and itchiness assaulted Mu Yao’s arm and leg, the part with missing limbs. His normal hand couldn’t help but grips at the handrail of his wheelchair. As if bearing an unimaginable pain, the force on his hand had destroyed one of the arm rails of his wheelchair while he gritted his teeth, stopping a sound coming out of his mouth.
However, to completely stop it seems to be impossible.
Ugh~
Arg!
Long Tian and Mu Liao watched as the limb on the side where it was missing had grown a few inches. The flesh, bone and muscles grew. The two of them witnessed it with their own eyes. The Mu Patriarch after bearing the pain and itch fainted as if he had used all his energy at those few minutes in his life when a part of his limbs had regenerated.
"It worked! It was truly effective!"
Among them, the one who was delighted the most was Mu Liao. He had witnessed the miracle for himself and saw how effective the pills were. Now he believes that his father’s missing limbs would be restored to how it normally is.
Mu Liao looked at Long Tian with tears in his eyes as he hugged his father, "Tian-ge, thank you. Thank you so much!"
Because of excitement, Mu Liao couldn’t help but call for the name of what he used to call Long Tian when they were children. He had stopped doing so when their family had split up.
Long Tian didn’t mind it this time and pat Mu Liao’s shoulder.
He said, "Let Uncle Mu rest for now. You should as well."
"I will. Thank you once again," Mu Liao said as he took away his father to rest.

At the Pei Clan...
Two groups of men covered all over with only their nose and eyes exposed appeared behind Pei Jin who was seated at his family’s mansion’s living room couch. These men were death soldiers he had prepared to do dangerous missions for him. Besides him is Shadow, the former third ranked assassin from the Killer Pavilion.
No one would have believed that the master of these dangerous men was this young man who is barely in his teens.
"Two groups one to head to the killer pavilion to eliminate the ones guarding the house of the assassins. The other group will head to the Barren Land, sneak into the group and kill Xie Yun and anyone by his side."
"This is a mission that couldn’t fail. The targets must be killed or else... there is no need for you to come back."
"Do you understand?"
The youngest master of the Pei Clan, Pei Jin commanded. These were his instructions for these death soldiers who he had sent into two different missions. But the content is all killing someone. It seems that he truly wanted to clean up the Killer Pavilion which is one of the strongest groups that will be against them in the future. At least as how he remembers it from his previous life.
"As you command, Master!"
"Shadow, you go with the one heading to the Barren Land. Kill Xie Yun if they fail," said Pei Jin.
The young Butler bowed and said, "Your wish is my command."
They all left after being given permission to leave and getting their instructions, leaving only Pei Jin in the living room. His fingers were tapping the single sofa’s armrest and thud, thud sounds echoed in the silent room.
"The master of the Killer Pavilion, Xie Yun. To think that the only reason you sided with the Long Clan was all because you are the only friend of Haerin’s father and betrayed me. Once you’re dead, even though I failed to kill Haerin and her family, the support Long Tian would get should lessen a lot." He mumbles.
"As long as the killer pavilion is gone, even if you return alive, your power should diminish a lot~."

At dawn, before the old marshal and the rest leave for the Barren Lands...𝒇𝒓𝙚𝒆𝔀𝓮𝓫𝒏𝓸𝙫𝓮𝓵.𝓬𝙤𝙢
Long Huang decided to wait for Mu Yao to wake up. As expected, the Mu Patriarch had opened his eyes at this time and immediately noticed the changes in his limbs. He was delighted that his limbs are growing as promised.
"You are finally awake. You truly had taken your time sleeping."
A familiar voice resounds from beside him. This is the voice he hasn’t heard for a long time ever since the day the old marshal had abdicated. As expected, when he abruptly turned his head, Mu Yao saw the old marshal and instinctively wanted to stand up and kowtow.
But his missing leg and arm woke him up to reality. This isn’t the past where he can salute towards the old marshal as he wishes. As a cripple, he didn’t even have the right to be able to kowtow.
"There is no need to leave the bed. I will be leaving soon and only drops by before we depart. Since you had requested to see me, I appeared before him."
"However, I believe that there is truly nothing to talk about. I am no longer the marshal and you are no longer my subordinate. Mu Yao you are already free. There is no need to come to me anymore. Just live the rest of your life as you wish."
The words of Long Huang are no different from cutting off all the connections between the two of them. This kind of official severance of relationship is something extreme. The type where one another will treat each other as strangers.
Complete stranger.
The type where even if you see each other somewhere you will pretend that the other no longer exists in your world. Out of mind, out of sight.
"Old Master, I’m sorry. I failed you. I didn’t fulfill my promise and also betrayed you. Even using my family as an excuse for my betrayal. However, that wasn’t truly all."
"I was terrified. A crippled that was afraid of returning to that slum and watching my loved one be burdened by me and how they would have to suffer for me sake."
"This fear is overwhelming. The anxiety I had at that time intensified when those bastards from the Noble faction came over to threaten me. Maybe I was too tired. Maybe, I just want to give up everything."
"Old Marshal, I failed you. No need to accept my apology. I know that I am not worth any of your forgiveness."
Mu Yao was talking nonstop and he poured all his feelings and hidden regrets, guilt and pain in his heart.
