Me and countless me.

Chapter 529 The Eye of the Seven Stars!

However, to Murong Bo's dismay, when he said those words, Murong Guang didn't seem to think of him as his father at all!
"Where did this madman come from to dishonor my late father!"

Murong Guang raised his palm, intending to strike the madman, but the next moment he saw the man display the martial art of "Shifting Stars and Changing Positions".

Murong Bo also realized what was happening and immediately spoke up about several things that only Murong Guang and she knew, leaving Murong Guang staring in disbelief at the masked person in front of her.

With his heart trembling, he had no choice but to ask a few more questions. After Murong Bo answered them all correctly, Murong Guang couldn't help but take a step back.

"You, you really are Father! But, but why did you fake your death?! Did you offend some formidable enemy?"

Murong Guang stared at his father in astonishment, unable to believe that he was still alive! Because when his father died, he and his brother had buried him with their own hands!
But Murong Bo didn't want to tell Murong Guang these things now. He wasn't stupid; he knew many things perfectly well. So he gripped Murong Guang's shoulders tightly and asked, word by word.

"Good son, don't say anything more. Let me ask you, do you still care about reviving the Great Yan Dynasty?!"

Seeing Murong Bo's serious demeanor, Murong Guang paused for a moment before speaking hesitantly.

"Father, is it really possible to restore the country? The news of our rebellion has already been known to the imperial relatives of the Song Dynasty! You should focus on healing your wounds!"

Murong Guang was not very convinced that they could restore their kingdom. Putting aside the number of their soldiers and weapons, the fact that they had been operating in secrecy for so many years, yet were still discovered by Li Ke, made Murong Guang, who already did not think they could succeed, even more disappointed with the restoration cause.

Although her brother and father had always talked about restoring their kingdom since she was a child, Murong Guang genuinely felt nothing for it. Perhaps it was because she was a woman, or perhaps for other reasons, but Murong Guang always believed that her Murong family was only focused on restoring their kingdom for the sake of restoring it!

Many of their methods were even underhanded and could be said to run counter to the restoration of the nation!
Murong Bo almost spat out blood. He never expected that Murong Guang would think that their restoration of the kingdom was hopeless! He pointed his finger at Murong Guang, his face full of heartache.

"Very well, it seems that my feigning death when you were young has indeed made you forget the vision of our ancestors and the mission to restore our Great Yan!"

Murong Bo took a deep breath, and Murong Guang wanted to say something, but Murong Bo suddenly waved his hand and sighed.

"Alright, you are a woman after all, and it's understandable that you don't want to get involved in the power struggle. But let me ask you, my child, are you still willing to help your brother! Help your father? Before I die, I'll make you your brother's substitute at any time. Do you have any complaints?"

Murong Guang nodded immediately, but couldn't help but sigh inwardly.

"Father, how can you say such a thing? As your daughter and brother's sister, it's only natural for me to help my family! How could your daughter... your son have any complaints?"

She sighed helplessly. How she wished she could live a carefree life like other women, but her father and brothers were all obsessed with restoring the country. What could she do?

After all, as long as she was not married, she could never leave her father and brothers' lives.

"That's good. I will pass on all my skills to you. You should find your brother as soon as possible. I have something to tell him."

Murong Bo nodded, signaling Murong Guang to fetch Murong Fu. Murong Guang was puzzled, and hearing that Murong Bo was going to pass on his skills to her, she became even more suspicious. But since it was her father's words, she quickly stood up and went to find her brother Murong Fu.

Murong Bo stared at Murong Guang's retreating figure with a flicker in his eyes, and couldn't help but snort coldly. He wasn't home when Murong Guang was born, and he hadn't slept with his wife for a year before that. Moreover, during that time, Zheng Chun was living on his estate because of his enemies' pursuit. He didn't need to think to know whose bastard Murong Guang was.

However, Murong Bo held back, because he knew very well that Duan Zhengchun was a member of the imperial family and could be used as a bargaining chip to gain the support of the Dali Duan family when necessary. But now he had provoked a real mortal enemy. Unless Murong Fu surpassed him, he would have to die. So he sneered.

"I've raised this bastard child for so long, and you're using your life to help my son get everything. That's just what I wanted!"

Murong Guang was unaware of all this; she was simply clutching her chest, where the injury Li Ke had sustained still ached, but she had been enduring it.

This injury was already present when she fought Li Ke. She had to forcefully circulate her internal energy to cover it up, so it didn't seem like anything at the time. However, after returning, she immediately vomited two mouthfuls of blood.

For some reason, the true energy that Li Ke left in her body during this period always gave her a strange feeling. This true energy not only did not harm her, but also nourished her body, making her injuries heal very quickly. She just didn't dare to tell anyone else.

At this moment, as he walked, his wound aggravated his pain, and Murong Guang couldn't help but think of Li Ke's existence, causing his heart to race.

"You nemesis... why am I thinking of you at this time?"

Murong Guang was filled with a myriad of emotions, but she suppressed the strange thoughts in her mind and walked towards her brother Murong Fu, where she told him about Murong Bo.

Upon hearing this, Murong Fu was greatly alarmed. Without informing any of his retainers, he questioned Murong Guang again before following him to Murong Bo's location. Only after asking Murong Bo a few questions did he believe that Murong Bo was his father.

At this moment, Murong Fu, like Murong Guang, had doubts.

"Father, why did you pass on your skills at this time? And why did you fake your death back then?"

Murong Fu couldn't understand it at all, because he couldn't comprehend his father's actions. If his father had been there to protect him, he could have accomplished so much. He simply couldn't think of any reason for his father's feigned death.

"Because I have a mortal enemy. If I continue to live, Shaolin Temple will become our enemy. Also, this time I am going to let you inherit the unique skills of my Murong family... Murong Guang, go find some medicinal herbs first. I have something to tell your brother."

As he spoke, Murong Bo took out a prescription and handed it to Murong Guang. Murong Guang had no doubts. Although he was a little unhappy, he still accepted the prescription from Murong Bo and went out to buy the medicine.

But halfway there she realized she hadn't taken her wallet, so she instinctively turned over and heard something that shocked her!

At this moment, Murong Bo, feeling that his days were numbered, urgently spoke to Murong Fu.

"Fu'er, I want you to kill your sister!"

Murong Fu was immediately shocked. In his shock, he didn't have time to pay attention to his surroundings and hesitated before speaking.

"Father, my sister is still useful. If we kill her now, wouldn't we lose an ally in our efforts to restore the kingdom?"

Although his sister's act as his double has been discovered, she is still a skilled fighter, and his father has always called her his son and made him address her as his brother. How could he call her his daughter today?
Murong Bo sneered.

“Our Murong family has no such bastard! My son! Your Murong Guang should actually be surnamed Duan! I was busy working to restore the kingdom, but your mother took in Duan Zhengchun and gave birth to this bastard after ten months of pregnancy! You should remember this. That year I hardly ever came home! Even when I did come home, I just slept in the study and training ground, exhausted. How could I have had time to give birth to such a sister for you!”

Murong Fu was struck dumb. He truly hadn't expected that his mother had an affair with Duan Zhengchun, nor that his sister was Duan Zhengchun's daughter. Murong Guang, standing by the window, was also speechless with shock, but instinctively held his breath and continued listening.

But the next moment, Murong Fu couldn't help but be overjoyed!

"Father! Doesn't this mean we can keep Duan Zhengchun in check and borrow troops from Dali?!"

He was extremely excited, believing that such a scandal would surely be able to hold Duan Zhengchun hostage! Especially Duan Zhengchun, who would become emperor in the future.

Murong Bo looked at his son with satisfaction.

"My son is just like me, he immediately grasped the key point. Unfortunately, I have encountered an enemy we were bound to face, the young Duke of the Great Song! His martial arts are superb, and he is an enemy that you and I together cannot withstand. Only if I raise your and Murong Guang's power to the same level, and then you absorb all of Murong Guang's power and life essence, so that we can resonate with each other and obtain the legendary Seven Star Eye of the Murong family, and transform your sister's power and life essence into a third eye on her forehead, and be able to use the highest level of the Shifting Stars technique infinitely, can we fight against him!"

Upon hearing this, Murong Fu did not hesitate, after all, it was the title of Duke! Anyone with a sound mind would think that Li Ke would definitely support the Song Dynasty, and no matter who became the emperor of the Song Dynasty, he would be the emperor's strongest supporter!
Therefore, Murong Fu did not feel that Murong Bo had created an enemy for him. On the contrary, he felt that his father, Murong Bo, was indeed wise and insightful, having scouted out the enemy in advance for the revival of Great Yan, so that he would not fall into a trap in the future.

Thinking of his father's efforts for the Great Yan and the other party's awareness, Murong Fu immediately spoke excitedly, his tone filled with hatred for Murong Guang.

"I understand! Father, once you are ready, I will personally kill my sister... this bastard, and in doing so, I will reach the Seven Star Eye realm!"

He was moved to tears, as was Murong Bo. Only Murong Guang, outside the window, felt a chill run through him and a wave of sorrow wash over him.

"I never imagined that this father wasn't my father, and my brother didn't want me to live either..."

Murong Guang staggered, unable to hold back his thoughts of his long-deceased mother, and felt another wave of sorrow. He also felt an overwhelming hatred for his biological father, Duan Zhengchun. He was also deeply saddened by Murong Fu and Murong Bo's ruthless attempts to kill him.

However, at that moment, Murong Guang heard Murong Bo speak again.

"So, my good son, in a moment I will raise your true energy to the same level and help you absorb the essence of that bastard. You must remember to start absorbing her essence from her eyes and eventually absorb the bastard's eyes!"

"Yes! I will remember!"

"Alright, let's discuss how to coax that bastard child. After all, this ritual requires mutual consent..."

Immediately afterwards, Murong Fu spoke.

"Just say I'm seriously injured and dying, and ask her to sacrifice her power to save me. This bastard has always admired me. Father, if you pretend to be dying, she's a filial child and shouldn't refuse."

Upon hearing this, Murong Guang could no longer contain himself. He pushed open the window, looked at the shocked Murong Fu and Murong Bo who were instinctively about to attack him, and let out a miserable laugh.

"No need, Father... You raised me to adulthood. Since both you and my brother want my life, then take it!"

Murong Bo watched this scene in shock, and Murong Fu felt a pang of heartache. However, the two of them thought of their great cause of restoring their kingdom, and immediately disregarded any sentimentality. But Murong Bo took out a pill from his pocket.

"This pill is highly poisonous. If you survive the transfer of your power, I will naturally give you the antidote. But if you have other intentions..."

Murong Guang looked at the pill and found it somewhat amusing, because she knew very well that Murong Bo would never let her live. Given such a shameful affair, coupled with her identity as Duan Zhengchun's daughter, they would never allow the matter to be exposed!

So I'm going to die no matter what!
But she didn't say anything. She was able to survive entirely because of Murong Bo's plan, so she might as well repay this debt of gratitude!
So she immediately swallowed the pill, but Murong Bo told her that she still had to buy medicinal herbs, because the herbs Murong Bo wanted her to buy were materials to complement that ritual.

Murong Fu volunteered to go because he didn't know how to respond to his sister's constantly tearful eyes.

So when he was at the pharmacy, he couldn't help but sigh.

"In the end, they're not from my Murong family, so I don't care about them! Restoring the kingdom is the most important thing!"

Finally, all the ceremonies were completed. Murong Fu looked at Murong Guang's tearful eyes and felt an intense pain in them. Murong Guang was neither a member of his Murong family nor a noble descendant of the Xianbei. Therefore, he felt no warmth in his heart, only disgust.

Seeing Murong Fu's disgusted expression, Murong Guang silently cooperated with Murong Fu's power circulation, slowly resonating the true energy that Murong Bo had passed on to her with Murong Fu's true energy. However, at this moment, the true energy that Li Ke had left in her body suddenly went berserk. But Murong Guang didn't care. She let Li Ke's true energy rush into her heart, still resonating with Murong Fu's true energy, and then reached a certain level!
Both of their eyes began to sparkle with the light of seven stars, and Murong Bo also shouted out.

"It's now!"

Without hesitation, Murong Fu activated his secret technique. Murong Guang immediately felt all her true energy and blood rush into her eyes. Then she felt her eyes, along with her life force and true energy, burst out of her body!

"what!"

She let out a scream and collapsed to the ground, but her eyes turned into a streak of light that shot straight into Murong Fu's eyes, shattering his original eyes.

However, the shattered eye followed Murong Fu's meridians, bursting out from his forehead and reassembling into a brand new starry eye!

That's it! At this moment, Murong Guang's eyes have become Murong Fu's eyes, and Murong Fu's original eyes have become the seventh star of the Murong family's Star Eye!

Endless power surged from Murong Fu's body. He could feel his already profound skill level constantly increasing, and Murong Bo's martial arts knowledge also entered his mind!
Countless martial arts skills and countless experiences became his nourishment!

However, Murong Fu could clearly sense that the third eye on his forehead was entirely dependent on Murong Guang's eyes to function. If he lost those eyes, he would instantly lose the third eye!
Therefore, Murong Fu thrust out his sword without hesitation, striking his sister's chest and piercing her heart, which was already occupied by Li Ke's true energy!
He absolutely would not allow himself to have his eyes taken away!
Looking at his son, who had mastered his divine skills, and seeing his decisive actions, Murong Bo revealed a gratified smile.

Moreover, thanks to Murong Guang's cooperation, he didn't actually die and was still able to help his son. However, after thinking it over, Murong Fu felt that Murong Guang was unworthy of being buried, so he pointed at Murong Guang's corpse and spoke to Bao Butong and the others who had rushed over after hearing the commotion.

"Throw it into the wilderness to feed the dogs, and remember to dismember it to avoid leaving any trouble behind!"

Bao Butong felt as if he had been struck by lightning, but seeing that the old master and Murong Fu both looked like it was the most natural thing in the world, he lowered his head and agreed.

However, after dragging Murong Guang's body to the wilderness, Bao Butong did not dismember Murong Guang as Murong Fu had instructed, but instead threw Murong Guang into the woods.

"Oh, Miss, I'm only following the young master's orders... but I won't dismember you. Go and reincarnate!"

After saying that, Bao Butong ran away, but less than three breaths after he left, Murong Guang's broken heart began to beat again!
