"Father, they're about to take action."
Su Li emitted a strong hostility, his cold gaze scanning the surroundings as if searching for something.
Perhaps sensing Su Li's hostility, Li Qiao glanced at him. Despite his young age, his cultivation was astonishing, truly surpassing his predecessors.
"Let's go down."
Mu Yunxuan held Su Li in his arms and swiftly disappeared from the big tree.
Li Qiao shook his head, aware that his cultivation and speed were inferior to others.
In the master bedroom, Jun Lintian had just finished his cultivation. The most important thing now was to drink the blood from his heart, allowing his cultivation to achieve Yin-Yang convergence and enhance its power.
With a sudden opening of his dark eyes, a satisfied smile appeared on Jun Lintian's lips. This trip to Mount Wu was indeed worthwhile.
"In just three days, you've advanced to the Seventh Stage of the Holy Profound Realm. It's truly astonishing," Murong Zeyu exclaimed as he emerged from behind the screen, astonished.
"I have already given you another secret technique. As long as you diligently cultivate, your cultivation can also rapidly advance in a short period of time."
Upon hearing this, a hint of hesitation flickered in Murong Zeyu's eyes. It wasn't that he didn't cultivate, but the first secret technique that Jun Lintian practiced was too bizarre. The cultivation methods in these secret techniques were too evil. Jun Lintian had already used someone's heart blood for the first one, and he didn't know what he would use for the second one. Moreover, Murong Zeyu couldn't trust Jun Lintian completely. Why would Jun Lintian not hide anything from him? What was Jun Lintian's mentality in holding onto such a big secret? Murong Zeyu felt that he was increasingly unable to see through Jun Lintian.
"Master, there's a first-stage Xuanwu cultivator intruding," Ling Xia warned.
"First-stage Xuanwu? What does that mean?"
Jun Lintian was momentarily confused. How could there be a first-stage Xuanwu cultivator?
"Master, don't you know? Once you reach the peak of the Holy Profound Realm, it becomes the Xuan Realm. It's the second level of cultivation advancement. There's no time left. Master, you should leave first. You're still in the advancement period and cannot afford to get injured."
Ling Xia quickly advised.
Jun Lintian stood up abruptly, striding to the window. His gloomy eyes scanned the outside.
Seeing Mu Yunxuan and a small figure in the courtyard, Jun Lintian's body trembled violently. His cold eyes were filled with thunderous fury. It was Mu Yunxuan again, unexpectedly ruining his plans?
No, he couldn't give up. He hadn't consumed the heart blood yet. Tonight was the last chance, and he knew very well what the consequences would be if he couldn't drink the heart blood tonight.
"It's Mu Yunxuan?" Murong Zeyu was also surprised. He didn't expect them to find their way here so quickly.
As soon as Mu Yunxuan landed in the courtyard, he was spotted by the guards.
By the time the guards closed in, Li Qiao had landed, and the sounds of a fight echoed through the courtyard.
Hearing the commotion from outside, Su Zi Mo knew that Yun Xuan and the others had arrived. But despite the noise, these people remained indifferent, seemingly determined to obtain the heart blood at all costs.
Su Zi Mo looked at the men approaching them with a cold gaze, a mocking smile on her face.
Two men approached and held onto the woman who had just spoken to Su Zi Mo.
"Let me go, you heartless scum!"
The woman's temper flared, struggling with all her might. However, despite her cultivation in the Advanced Profound Realm, she was no different from an ordinary person in the face of these peak Gold Profound Realm cultivators. No matter how hard she struggled, she couldn't break free. Su Zi Mo glanced at her, noting her fierce personality.
The other three people were already crying loudly, as they knew what would happen next.
The fight outside grew increasingly intense. Su Zi Mo's gaze locked onto the man holding the jade bone. As long as that jade bone pierced the heart, his life would come to an end.
In the midst of the woman's despair, a crisp sound broke through. Surprisingly, there was no pain as expected in her chest. Opening her eyes wide, she saw a severed arm still holding the jade bone on the ground. That arm had been forcibly severed by someone.
"Ah!" The pain that came later made the man howl in agony.
The other three were dumbfounded by this sudden turn of events. Even the cries of the man with the severed arm failed to bring them back to their senses.
The few people behind Su Zi Mo stared at her in astonishment, looking at her fearless gaze. It was as if they had glimpsed a glimmer of hope.
The woman, who had been saved, turned her head abruptly and looked at Su Zi Mo, her face filled with gratitude.
"Ah!" Feng Zuoshi, the left envoy, heard the howling cry and couldn't help but rush in.
Seeing the severed arm on the ground, his slightly fearful gaze swept across everyone's faces, finally stopping on Su Zi Mo's face.
"Not bad! Today, I unexpectedly caught someone with remarkable skills."
Feng Zuoshi covered his face with a mask, making it difficult for Su Zi Mo to see his true appearance. However, she could sense that his cultivation was nearing the Eighth Stage of the Gold Profound Realm.
Feng Zuoshi wielded a sword in his hand and charged straight towards Su Zi Mo.
"Why are you just standing there? Attack!" Feng Zuoshi shouted loudly as he passed by the bewildered three men, snapping them out of their daze. They joined forces and attacked Su Zi Mo.
Su Zi Mo calmly took a few steps back. Just as Feng Zuoshi's sword was about to pierce her heart, the Xuan Bing Snow Vein appeared, blocking the sword and emitting sparks.
In a moment of astonishment, Feng Zuoshi looked at Su Zi Mo.
As the Xuan Bing Snow Vein blocked Feng Zuoshi's sword, the swords held by the other three men also descended.
A thin layer of purple light enveloped Su Zi Mo, making her stand out in the darkness. Before the swords could reach her, the swordsmen were already sent flying.
Su Zi Mo let out a cold smile. Despite her ordinary appearance after changing her appearance, she couldn't hide her cold and radiant aura.
Seeing this sudden change, the other people felt relieved. With her abilities, she would surely be able to get them out of here. In an instant, Su Zi Mo became their only hope.
"Who are you?" Feng Zuoshi angrily shouted, swiftly retracting his sword. The white cloth in front of him was...
"Ah! You're Su Zi Mo?" Only Su Zi Mo, who was rumored to possess the Xuan Bing Snow Vein, would have the Xuan Bing Snow Vein. Although it looked like a piece of cloth, it was as stiff as cold iron and impervious to fire and water.
"It seems the reputation of the Lord of Mingyue Manor is quite renowned." Su Zi Mo smiled lightly, without a trace of narcissism. In these times, being well-known attracts trouble!
The people behind Su Zi Mo looked at her in increasing astonishment. Was she really Su Zi Mo, the Lord of Mingyue Manor, who was widely talked about?
They no longer felt fear in their eyes, but rather curiosity towards Su Zi Mo.
"Boom!" A black-clad figure forcefully broke down the door, falling on the unconscious man with the severed arm.
Feng Zuoshi turned around abruptly, intending to escape, but the Xuan Bing Snow Vein had already coiled around his neck. In his murky eyes, fear filled every corner, and his face turned ashen.
"Such cruelty, what's the point of staying alive?"
Su Zi Mo spoke coldly, her entire body radiating brilliance. With a gentle tug of the Xuan Bing Snow Vein, Feng Zuoshi's head flew off.
The cowardly individuals closed their eyes in fear, unable to witness the scene.
"Follow me."
Su Zi Mo glanced at them and took the lead to exit.
As soon as they reached the courtyard, it was filled with corpses, but there was no sign of Mu Yunxuan and the others. Su Zi Mo felt puzzled. How could Yun Xuan and Li Er disappear in an instant? They were here just a moment ago.
"You wait inside the house for now."
Su Zi Mo sensed that something was amiss. To prevent them from getting injured by following her, it would be safer for them to stay here.
The others shook their heads, seemingly feeling safer when they were by Su Zi Mo's side.
"Don't worry, I'll set up a barrier. No one can harm you."
The others finally nodded. For some reason, when they looked into Su Zi Mo's eyes, they felt a deep trust in her.
After setting up the barrier, Su Zi Mo went to find Mu Yunxuan and the others.
Meanwhile, Su Qi, who had woken up in the middle of the night, sat calmly at the table, enjoying his midnight snack. However, his smile quickly faded as Qinglian informed him that his mother, father, and brother were not at the Mingyue Inn.
His mother's absence made him furrow his brows. Where did they go in the middle of the night? His clumsy mother would easily get lost if she went out at night.
With this thought in mind, Su Qi lost his appetite and put down the half-eaten roasted chicken on the table. He took out a handkerchief and elegantly wiped his mouth.
"No, Aunt Qinglian, Qi'er needs to find his mother. If she's doing business, it's fine, but if there's a fight, she's bound to get hurt."
Without giving Qinglian a chance to object, Su Qi summoned Huyin and disappeared from the room.
Helpless, Qinglian stomped her foot and went out to find Qingfeng.
