Unwilling to die like this

"Madam has a good memory indeed," said Su Zimeng with a cold and ethereal voice, casting a glance at Su Zimo.

Su Zimo clenched her fist slightly, surprised by how quickly he appeared here. She asked, "By doing this, aren't you clearly indicating that there's something ahead?"

Su Zimo coldly stared at Ruofei. She was certain that this person had some connection with the Witch Clan, but she couldn't sense the immense evil aura that the Jade Dragon Pearl had mentioned. She found him unfathomable.

"Madam, wouldn't it be better for you to stay at home and fulfill your role as a wife and mother?"

"Hmph! Are you standing here in the middle of the night just to have a chat with the mistress of the manor?" Su Zimo retorted.

So much nonsense. Su Zimo not only excelled at being a wife and mother but also believed she could create her own path in life.

"The Manor Lord is right. While chatting is one thing, what's more important is that Madam knows too much."

"So, you're here to silence me?" Su Zimo's eyes flashed with coldness, and her gaze pierced Ruofei.

"You're indeed intelligent, Madam," Ruofei's pleasant voice remained calm and unruffled.

Intelligent, my foot! This person was pretending. Let's see how long you can keep up the act.

"If you have nothing to do, please step aside. As the saying goes, a good dog doesn't block the way."

"You...!" Comparing him to a dog was an insult that Ruofei had never experienced before. A surge of anger swelled within him.

See, see, your true nature is revealed with just one sentence. Let's see how nonchalant you can remain.

"What? Can't you understand human language? Since you can't understand, why not learn to crawl instead of standing? Wouldn't that be better?"

Su Zimo spoke without reservation.

During the conversation, she had already sensed the man's cultivation level. He had astonishing power. Even if she joined forces with Li Er, she wouldn't be his match. It would be better to find a way to distract his attention. If she couldn't win, she could just escape. Su Zimo wasn't willing to risk her life needlessly.

"Are you seeking death?" Ruofei was completely enraged, losing his former elegance. Even his image as a male god was shattered at this moment.

Gathering a powerful surge of profound energy, he attacked Su Zimo and Su Qi.

Su Zimo picked up Su Qi and instantly grasped the Xuanbing Snow Whip, swiftly dodging Ruofei's attack.

"Not bad, as a recognized waste six years ago, you can still dodge my attack," Ruofei mocked, his exposed black eyes glinting with a hint of derision.

"Crack!" A crisp sound echoed as Su Li, standing in front of Su Zimo, raised her head high and brandished the Phantom Whip in her hand. The narrow path swiftly cracked open, followed by an unexpected explosion right where Ruofei was standing!

"Let me show you what true waste looks like!" Su Li's bright eyes flickered with killing intent as her resolute voice sent shivers down one's spine.

Ruofei barely had time to be astonished. He swiftly leaped to avoid the Phantom Whip's attack. The whip carried tremendous power, tearing his clothes in several places due to his speed.

Su Zimo stepped aside, keeping a close eye on the movements of both individuals, her gaze swiftly shuttling between them.

Su Li raised her gaze, meeting Ruofei's eyes. Her small body instantly leaped up, and the Phantom Whip automatically extended, resembling a swimming dragon as it struck Ruofei with lightning speed. Another whip was viciously lashed out.

"Ah!" Ruofei didn't expect Su Li's speed to be so astonishing. While he was evading the Phantom Whip, Su Li had disappeared.

As Ruofei evaded the Phantom Whip, he suddenly felt a powerful palm strike him from behind.

"Bang!" The whip struck him forcefully in the chest, followed by a gush of blood spurting from Ruofei's mouth. His body uncontrollably fell to the ground.

"How is this possible?" Ruofei murmured. A five-year-old child had actually injured him, a Saint Profound stage cultivator. It was because Su Zimo and her two sons were not as powerful as Mu Yunxuan that he dared to take the risk and attempt to assassinate Su Zimo. However, he didn't expect that without Mu Yunxuan's presence, Su Zimo and Su Li's combined efforts could still kill him. How was this possible?

"What? You thought I couldn't kill you?" Su Li appeared in front of Ruofei, a mischievous smile playing on her lips. She raised her gaze, mocking Ruofei.

"With just this much skill, you dare to come out and show off."

Ruofei's face froze as he realized he had lost tonight. He lost to a five-year-old child simply because he was overly confident. That's why he came, but the result was his defeat.

Su Zimo raised her gaze, looking at her son with a gentle radiance emanating from her face. Su Li's explosive power was extremely strong, especially against someone as arrogant as Ruofei.

"You...," Ruofei wanted to say something more?

He suddenly felt a pain in his chest and lowered his head, finding a dagger stuck in his chest.

Mu Yunxuan's face turned dark as he coldly looked at Ruofei.

"The tenth elder of the Witch Clan, also the youngest elder in the clan. If it weren't for that, I wouldn't have tolerated the harm done to my son. I would have killed them all without hesitation," Mu Yunxuan's voice was filled with a chilling coldness.

"Mu Yunxuan, if you kill me, you better think about the consequences!" Ruofei made a final desperate struggle, but Mu Yunxuan's attack pierced his chest, precisely in the most fatal spot.

"Hmph! Consequences?" Mu Yunxuan snorted disdainfully, looking at Ruofei with contempt. "If it weren't for the hard-earned relationship between the Mu family and the Witch Clan over the past hundred years, would I have let you Witch Clan members be so arrogant? Now that this relationship has been broken by your own hands, there's no need for me to show any mercy."

"You, you truly are ruthless. But how can a beautiful woman like Miss Su be attracted to a man as cold as ice like you?" Even at the moment of his death, Ruofei didn't forget to sow discord. With Mu Yunxuan's character, he must have some thoughts in his mind. "The Clan Chief won't let you go."

Ruofei's eyes started to lose focus, looking at Mu Yunxuan with helplessness and unwillingness. He had just turned thirty this year, yet he was about to die in this wilderness. He truly couldn't accept dying like this.

"She won't let us go, hmph! What does your Witch Clan think of me, Mu Yunxuan? How dare you act so presumptuously! This is your fate. From now on, for every Witch Clan member that appears, I will kill one," Mu Yunxuan declared coldly.

"Spurt!" Ruofei spat out the last mouthful of blood and closed his eyes unwillingly.

When Li Qiao arrived, he witnessed this scene.

Invisible to the naked eye, the oppressive feeling of breathlessness pervaded the dark night.

A smile appeared on Li Qiao's face. "These past few days, they caused chaos in Weiku City, making everyone panic. Tonight, we can finally vent our anger."

Only then did Li Qiao look at Su Zimo. "I suppose you must be the Lady of the Holy Lord?"

"Greetings, Lord of the City!" Su Zimo recognized him at first glance. Among all the people in Weiku City, only Li Qiao had such a resolute demeanor.

"Thank you, both of you, for capturing these evildoers. Over the past three days, there have been constant disappearances of outsiders, and now that these evildoers are dead, those missing people still haven't been found."

Li Qiao furrowed his brow.

"Lord of the City, could it be that these cases were not committed by the same group of people?" Su Zimo asked.

"I can't say for sure at the moment. I've been investigating for three days and only saw their traces tonight. If it weren't for the intervention of the Holy Lord and the Lady, I'm afraid I would have been empty-handed tonight."

Li Qiao looked at Su Zimo and Mu Yunxuan with gratitude. Their deeds had been widely spread, and the two of them were truly a perfect match—elegant and refined. The delicate face of Su Li was unforgettable at first glance.

"Mochi, you're injured?" Mu Yunxuan walked over to Su Zimo and noticed the bloodstains on her arm.

In that cold but worried voice, there were traces of fluctuations.

Seeing Mu Yunxuan's expression, Li Qiao was somewhat stunned. Mu Yunxuan, who was usually expressionless, showed such a concerned expression. It seemed that Mu Yunxuan truly cared about Su Zimo.

Mu Yunxuan's gaze shifted slightly to the corpse on the ground, and a hint of anger flashed in his deep black eyes. More than anything, he was ruthless. This series of events must have been orchestrated by that woman from the Witch Clan. He wished he could rush to the Witch Clan now and tear that woman to pieces.

However, this was not the time to think about such things.

"It's fine, Yunxuan. It's just a minor injury on the skin. I've taken some medicine, and the bleeding has stopped. What about Qi'er? Is he alright?" Su Zimo asked, her brows slightly furrowed.

Upon hearing her words, a tinge of guilt flashed across Mu Yunxuan's face. "Mochi, it's my fault. Qi'er got injured because of me."

Upon hearing this, a sharp pain pierced through Su Zimo's heart, almost suffocating her. Qi'er was injured. In the past five years, she had taken great care of them, the three siblings. But she never expected that this time...!

"Lady, you should go back and bandage the wound first. The guards in the city will arrive soon," Li Qiao suggested.

"In that case, we'll trouble the Lord of the City. Could you please tell us the name of this mountain?" Since Li Qiao was here tonight, Su Zimo couldn't continue her search. She would have to find another opportunity. According to the Four-Colored Silk, the answers she needed were not far from here.

"This mountain is called Qianfeng Mountain. There's a dead end ahead. It's strange that this thief would come here. No, I'll have my men continue searching in the mountain to see if there are any accomplices, to prevent them from making a comeback," Li Qiao explained.

"In that case, we'll leave it to the Lord of the City. Thank you for your help. May I ask if you know the name of this mountain?" Su Zimo replied.

With Li Qiao, she couldn't continue her search tonight. She would have to find another opportunity. According to the Four-Colored Silk, the answers she needed were not far from here.

"This mountain is called Qianfeng Mountain. There's a dead end ahead. It's strange that this thief would come here. No, I'll have my men continue searching in the mountain to see if there are any accomplices, to prevent them from making a comeback," Li Qiao explained.

"In that case, we'll leave it to the Lord of the City. Thank you for your help," Su Zimo said.

Facing Su Zimo and Mu Yunxuan, Li Qiao remained courteous, and there was a faint smile at the corner of his lips.

"Yunxuan, Limo, let's go back first."

Mu Yunxuan nodded and carried Su Li. Summoning the Nine-Winged Golden Dragon, in an instant, the family of three disappeared from the spot.
