Chapter 61

City Lord's Mansion.

Liu Chan sat in City Lord Meng Yuechao's study with an aggrieved expression, her belly protruding.

She looked at Meng Yuechao, who was reviewing documents with a few strands of white hair at his temples, and said, "Master, are you really not going to care about this matter? That's my brother! "

Meng Yuechao frowned slightly and put down the document in his hand.

He turned his head and said, "Everything needs evidence. Although I'm the City Lord, I can't arbitrarily execute people."

"I've already sent people from the Black Tiger Gang to do it, but what happened? Not only was the Black Tiger Gang wiped out, even the Demon Suppression Department was involved. "

"Even if this matter wasn't done by the Immortal behind Xia family, it's still a warning to us. We must think twice before we act, and not act recklessly."

Liu Chan still had an unhappy expression on her face.

Seeing this, Meng Yuechao could only say, "Don't worry, I'll definitely investigate this matter."

"You don't have to worry about these things. You just need to take care of the baby."

"The Enlightenment is in two months. You have to maintain a good attitude and take care of your body. If the Enlightenment is successful, you'll be a hero of the Meng family. When the time comes, you can have anything you want because of your son! "

Liu Chan's eyes were full of hope. She nodded and a smile bloomed on her pretty face. "Okay, I'll listen to Master."

She stood up with the help of a chair and said with a smile, "Master, then I'll go back to my room first."

Meng Yuechao smiled and nodded. "Mm, be careful."

"I know."

Liu Chan then walked out slowly.

Accompanied by her personal maid, Chunhong, she walked back to her room at a moderate pace. Her originally smiling face suddenly sank.

She walked to a chair and sat down.

"Chunhong."

"This servant is here."

"Go to Sea King Street and find Black Pockmarked. Ask the assassins of Lunar Shadow Tower to come out. I don't want to wait any longer …"

"Yes."

Chunhong left.

Liu Chan looked out of the room calmly and muttered to herself, "If we can't even deal with a small Xia family, how will the other families view our Liu family? What position do I have in the City Lord's Mansion? "

…

During lunch, Xia Wuji said to Xia Hu, "Keep an eye on Zhao Chuan for the next two days. I'm going to make a move."

Xia Hu, who was eating quietly, suddenly raised his head and looked at Xia Wuji in surprise. "Young Master, you want to …"

As he spoke, he made a killing gesture.

Yun Qingyao also looked at Xia Wuji in surprise.

She realized that Xia Wuji had been very murderous recently. He had already killed many people.

This was actually not suitable for cultivation.

If one's bloodlust was too great, it would be easy for them to go berserk.

Xia Wuji laughed and said, "Don't kill so easily. Am I that kind of person? I just want to ask him a few questions. "

Xia Hu nodded. "Young Master, wait for my news. That kid hasn't been coming out recently, but I know what he's been doing recently. If it's not tonight, then it's tomorrow night. He'll definitely appear at Heavenly Fragrance House."

"Oh? You're so sure? "

Xia Wuji was surprised.

Xia Hu grinned and said, "Hehe, I received news that there will be a newcomer coming to Heavenly Fragrance House in the next two days. That kid has always liked this kind of thing. He'll definitely appear then."

Yun Qingyao curled her lips and lowered her head to continue eating.

Xia Wuji nodded slightly. "Mm, keep an eye on him. See what kind of situation we can make a move on him."

"Yes, Young Master."

…

For two days in a row, Xia Wuji cultivated at home and didn't go anywhere.

It was strange that no one came looking for him to kill ghosts these two days.

"Could it be that all the ghosts in Blue Moon City have disappeared?"

Xia Wuji couldn't figure it out.

He suddenly remembered that two days ago, Xia Hu had told him about the Uigi School's Young Master, He Jun, who had met the second daughter of the Zhao family, Zhao Xueyan.

"Blue Moon City hasn't been haunted these two days. Could it be related to him? That kid is the Uigi School's Young Master. He should have some special ability in controlling ghosts … "

Xia Wuji thought.

If the Ghost King clone wanted to level up, it had to devour ghosts.

But if no one came looking for him to kill ghosts, he couldn't possibly go to someone else's house to kill ghosts.

Moreover, if the house was no longer haunted recently, he might be seen as having bad intentions if he went there. There was an 80% chance that he would be chased out.

At night, he was lying on the deck chair in the courtyard, swaying back and forth, looking at the stars in the sky.

Suddenly, Xia Hu came.

He was even carrying a gunny sack.

"Young Master, I carried it back for him."

Xia Hu said and put down the gunny sack.

Xia Wuji watched in shock as Xia Hu skillfully untied the gunny sack and pulled out the unconscious Zhao Chuan.

"F * ck, that works too! You're too bold, kid. Did anyone see it? "

"No." Xia Hu laughed, "If someone saw it, I would have thrown him into the trash. Why would I bring him back?"

Xia Wuji gave a thumbs up and praised, "Big Tiger is awesome."

Xia Hu rubbed his bald head and chuckled.

"Guard the door. I'll bring him down to the secret room."

Xia Wuji said.

"Yes, Young Master."

Xia Hu replied.

Xia Wuji carried the unconscious Zhao Chuan into the house and went down to the secret room.

In the secret room, he left Zhao Chuan behind. With a thought, the Ghost King appeared and the secret room was filled with ghosts.

He kicked Zhao Chuan.

Zhao Chuan slowly woke up. Not only did he have a splitting headache, but he also felt that his waist was about to break.

He only knew that when he was about to go to the toilet, his head was hit by a stick and then he fainted.

He rubbed his eyes, but found that it was dark all around and he couldn't see anything clearly.

At this moment, a pair of green eyes appeared in front of him.

"Hehehe, tell me, how many times do you want to die!"

The Ghost King's ear-piercing and terrifying voice resounded in his mind.

In an instant, a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood appeared in front of Zhao Chuan's eyes. He saw endless bones and fire punishment hell. Endless ghosts were burned, twisted, screaming, and crying in the fire punishment.

Zhao Chuan suddenly trembled in fear, "No, no, this is a dream, I must be dreaming!"

He pinched his thigh with all his might.

"Ah!"

He used too much strength and Zhao Chuan screamed.

But the scene in front of him still existed.

It's not a dream!

Am I in hell?

That's impossible!

I didn't do anything bad … other than inviting the Uigi School's Young Master, He Jun, to Blue Moon City as a guest. He Jun's evil ghost happened to be hungry, so he brought He Jun to Xia Wuji's house.

But that was the work of the Uigi School, who ordered the evil ghost to devour Lin Ru's soul. He didn't do it himself, so it had nothing to do with him …

Other than that, I really didn't do anything bad. At most, I spent time with a few White Immortals.

But everyone was doing it, so it wasn't a big deal. They can't send me to hell just because of this, right?

Zhao Chuan trembled all over and sweat poured down.

Unfortunately, this was all in his mind and he didn't say it out loud. Xia Wuji didn't know.

But Xia Wuji could ask.

"You killed Lin Ru with an evil ghost, so you deserve to die. You're going to be fried …"

Xia Wuji used the Ghost King's clone's voice to speak gloomily, his tone containing endless terror.

"I didn't! That was He Jun's doing. "

Zhao Chuan screamed.

"You're lying! If you lie, your tongue will be cut out! "

The Ghost King's gloomy voice sounded again.

"I'm not lying. I only brought him here. That's because his evil ghost was hungry, so it just happened to devour … "

At this point, Zhao Chuan was suddenly startled.

He instinctively felt that something was wrong.

Because when he was speaking, the illusion in front of him suddenly became blurry and gradually disappeared.

Xia Wuji sighed.

The Ghost King's clone was still growing, and the time it took to create the illusion was too short.

If he continued to hold on, he would feel tired.

But this was enough.

He had already obtained the information he wanted.

"He Jun is the main culprit, and so are you."

As he spoke, he twisted Zhao Chuan's neck.

At the moment of death, Zhao Chuan finally recognized who it was.

Unfortunately, this was his last thought in this world.

Chapter 62

He put Zhao Chuan's body into the Storage Ring and walked out.

Xia Hu heard the sound and immediately entered the courtyard. Seeing Xia Wuji come up alone, he was a little surprised and asked, "Young Master, how is it?"

"I've found the murderer who killed Mother."

Xia Wuji said.

Hearing that the young master had found Lin Ru's murderer, Xia Hu's breathing quickened and his eyes turned red.

Lin Ru's death had always been Xia Hu's sore point.

To a certain extent, Lin Ru was like his mother.

She was even more important than his biological mother in his life.

If it weren't for Madam and Young Master, he and his sister would have died.

"Who!"

"He Jun and Zhao Chuan."

Xia Wuji said calmly, "He Jun was brought here by Zhao Chuan. The evil ghost he raised devoured Mother's soul."

"Zhao Chuan! He Jun! "

Xia Hu gritted his teeth and clenched his fists so tightly that his knuckles turned white.

"Where's Zhao Chuan?"

"Killed."

Xia Wuji said and gestured with his hand, "He's here."

Then he patted him on the shoulder and said softly, "It's over. Don't worry, I'll avenge Mother."

"Young Master, can you let me kill that He Jun?"

Xia Hu's face muscles tightened and he asked with red eyes.

Xia Wuji stared at him, paused for a few seconds, and nodded, "Yes."

"Thank you, Young Master!"

Xia Hu cupped his fists and bowed deeply.

Xia Wuji patted him on the shoulder and said, "We're family."

"I'll deal with the body. Don't go out tonight."

"Yes, Young Master."

…

Sea King Street. The name was very loud. It sounded like rich people lived here, but in fact, it was mostly poor people.

The black market of Blue Moon City was on Sea King Street.

Many shady transactions were carried out here.

Even some assassin organizations had contact points here.

In the dark night, Xia Wuji wore a bamboo hat and covered his face as he entered a dilapidated house.

A hunchbacked old man lit a dim oil lamp in the room.

"Who are you looking for?"

The old man sitting on the chair raised his turbid eyes and asked weakly.

Xia Wuji casually tossed out a banknote worth one thousand taels of silver.

"I want to buy something."

The old man's turbid eyes immediately lit up.

A thousand taels just like that!

His half-dead appearance suddenly disappeared.

"Guest, please follow me."

Then, he turned around and entered the backyard. Xia Wuji followed him in …

After a while, Xia Wuji left.

Stone Statue Street.

In the darkness of the night, a figure flashed past, flipping over the wall and quickly entering the pitch-black courtyard of the Yao family.

It was Xia Wuji.

This place was filled with Yin Qi. Even during the day, no one was willing to pass by here, and even more so at night.

Even the houses next to the Yao family's courtyard had been abandoned for many years.

Xia Wuji chose to dump the corpse here precisely because there were few people here.

This place had been abandoned for many years and was overgrown with weeds. At the corner of the backyard, there was a deep well.

Xia Wuji was very satisfied with this deep well.

Then, he threw Zhao Chuan's corpse down and took out a small bottle from his storage ring.

He opened the bottle and poured a bit of white powder.

The white powder fell on Zhao Chuan's corpse and it quickly melted.

In a short while, Zhao Chuan's corpse disappeared, leaving only a puddle of water.

Xia Wuji sighed. This Corpse Dissolving Powder was indeed a good thing to destroy corpses.

Corpse Dissolving Powder was an insidious item and was a controlled product. One had to register to buy it through normal channels.

But in the black market, one just had to spend a little more money.

Of course, the price was five to ten times higher than normal channels, or even higher.

Xia Wuji didn't care too much about this.

Although the price was high, it was worth it. Moreover, it was just a small amount of money for him now.

In addition to the Corpse Dissolving Powder, he also bought a few other things, such as a human skin mask and a seven-step fall. These were all things that couldn't be bought openly outside.

Some things might not be needed, but he felt that it was better to be prepared.

After dealing with Zhao Chuan's corpse, Xia Wuji didn't leave.

In addition to destroying the corpse, he had another important purpose in coming to the Yao family's courtyard, and that was to eliminate ghosts.

If a Ghost King wanted to grow, he needed to devour ghosts.

It was said that the Yao family's courtyard was often haunted, which was exactly what he wanted.

Bored, Xia Wuji wandered around the Yao family's courtyard that had been abandoned for a long time.

The Yao family's courtyard occupied a large area of several acres. The buildings were magnificent. Obviously, it was a big family in the past. Unfortunately, it had been abandoned for many years and many places had collapsed. It looked very desolate.

The North Courtyard was the Yao family's ancestral hall. Inside, the ancestral tablets of the Yao family's ancestors were enshrined.

The Yin energy here was the strongest.

As soon as he entered the courtyard, he felt an indescribable chill, as if it wanted to freeze his soul.

On one side of the courtyard, Xia Wuji found a deep well.

The hole was relatively large, much larger than the mouth of an ordinary well. The strong Yin Qi was coming from this deep well.

It was obvious that there were some unclean things in this deep well. Most people wouldn't go near this kind of situation.

But Xia Wuji could faintly feel a mysterious calling.

This calling seemed to be related to his second doppelganger.

Xia Wuji's heart was moved. He lit a torch and threw it into the well.

The well was very deep, about twenty to thirty meters.

The torch quickly fell.

But before the torch reached the middle, it was extinguished.

Even so, Xia Wuji's tyrannical eyesight was still able to see the true appearance of the deep well.

Countless bones were strewn all over the ground. Some were black, some were green, and the strong Yin Qi was being emitted from these bones.

From the shape of these bones, he could tell that they were all human bones.

This was a place to dump corpses?

Not to mention whether evil spirits would appear in this deep well, if the corpses were dumped in this deep well without being buried, wouldn't there be a plague?

Xia Wuji shook his head inwardly.

He didn't know how the City Lord's Mansion dealt with this matter.

But all this wasn't important.

What was important was that he could faintly feel the summoning of the second doppelganger's parts.

Could it be that they were hidden under these bones?

Xia Wuji frowned slightly.

To be honest, looking at so many black and green bones with a foul smell, he really didn't want to go down.

But for the sake of the second doppelganger's parts, he had to go down.

He took out a rope with an anchor from his storage ring, fastened it around the well, and then jumped down.

But when he came close to the bottom of the well, he stopped.

That feeling came from the wall of the well.

There was a secret passage in the wall of the well?

He looked around, but didn't find any mechanism.

But this wasn't a problem for him.

He raised his hand and punched.

Boom — —

A half-meter wide passage was blasted out of the wall of the well, reaching dozens of meters away.

Dozens of meters away, there was the sound of a stone falling into space.

A putrid air rushed out from inside.

Chapter 63

There was indeed a space!

Moreover, that feeling had become even clearer.

Xia Wuji's eyes lit up. He immediately punched a few more times, opening up a passage in the wall of the well. Then, he took out a fluorescent stone, grabbed the rope, and walked in with his back bent.

The fluorescent stone's light was very weak, but the weak light could illuminate a few meters ahead. With Xia Wuji's eyesight, he could see dozens of meters ahead.

It was not suitable to light a fire here. If there was a high concentration of methane in the air, there might be an explosion.

Therefore, the fluorescent stone came in handy.

Of course, it would be best if there was a luminous pearl.

Unfortunately, Xia Wuji did not have one.

The rope was more than 100 meters long, enough for Xia Wuji to explore anywhere.

At the end of the passage, there was a spacious, pitch-black space in front of him. Xia Wuji was skilled and daring. He grabbed the rope and jumped down.

With the help of the fluorescent stone's weak light, he saw the situation below.

A huge bronze coffin sat quietly in the middle.

This bronze coffin was too big. It was many times bigger than a normal coffin. Just its height alone was three or four meters.

Apart from the eight extinguished oil lamps around the coffin, there were no other items found in other places.

Xia Wuji landed on the ground. He found that the ground was paved with complete obsidian, making it dark.

Obsidian was a rare building material. It was expensive. Not only was it dense, but it was also soundproof and heat-insulating.

Some cultivators' secret rooms were decorated with obsidian.

And this place was very spacious. It looked like it was at least 300 square meters.

Such a big place only had a bronze coffin. It was enough to arouse anyone's curiosity.

But the feeling for the second doppelganger was a little scattered. He could not pinpoint its exact location.

He only knew that it was nearby.

Xia Wuji walked around and found that the bronze coffin was engraved with all kinds of sacrificial patterns. The circular coffin lid was engraved with some star patterns.

Could such a big coffin really be used to store a corpse?

What kind of corpse would be so big?

Could the second doppelganger's parts be inside?

Xia Wuji was curious and expectant. He was ready to open the coffin lid.

However, the coffin lid was extremely heavy. Even with his current strength, he was unable to move it.

He went around to the top of the coffin lid, bent his legs, put his right hand behind his back, and jumped up. Then, he swung his fist, which was glowing with golden light, at the top of the coffin lid.

Clang ~

With a loud bang, the lid of the coffin caved in, but it did not move at all.

Xia Wuji was surprised when he landed.

He didn't know how powerful this punch was, but he knew that this punch could easily smash apart a low-grade magic treasure that was filled with magic power.

The coffin lid was clearly not a magic treasure, but when the fist landed, it only caved in and was not broken.

This was somewhat inconceivable.

Xia Wuji didn't believe it. He jumped up again and punched at the original position.

Clang ~

With this punch, the sunken area deepened.

But it was only a little, about two fingers deep.

However, this time, Xia Wuji noticed that when he punched the coffin, the star runes and sacrificial patterns on the coffin lit up.

Power transfer?

Xia Wuji was deep in thought.

But it didn't matter. It was impossible to transfer all the power. If one or two punches were not enough, then ten or twenty punches would be enough!

He was about to continue attacking.

Xia Wuji suddenly heard a rumbling sound coming from the right wall. It seemed that a door had been opened.

Hmm?

Xia Wuji immediately put away the fluorescent stone and hid on the side of the bronze coffin.

Sure enough, after the sound, a door suddenly opened on the right wall.

Light shone in.

However, the surroundings, including the ground, were all made of obsidian, so this space was still dark.

However, in Xia Wuji's eyes, this place was as bright as day.

The moment the door opened, the sensing of the second clone's parts immediately became much clearer.

Xia Wuji knew that the second clone's parts were behind the secret door.

At this moment, a person walked in with a luminous pearl in his hand.

As the person approached the bronze coffin, Xia Wuji's heart skipped a beat as he sensed a trace of demonic aura.

The person held the luminous pearl and walked quickly to the coffin. He was shocked when he saw that the lid of the bronze coffin had caved in.

When he looked up at the top, his expression changed drastically.

"Someone came in!"

"No one came in."

A voice came faintly from beside the coffin.

"Impossible, the wall above has been opened … Ah? Who are you? "

The person was shocked.

"Don't be nervous, it's me."

Xia Wuji said.

He walked out as he spoke.

What he saw was a young man with a demonic appearance. The trace of demonic aura was emitted from his body.

In addition, there was a trace of lewdness mixed with his body, as if he had just done some kind of activity.

When the demonic young man saw Xia Wuji, he was stunned.

It was a young man.

He was very handsome, especially his pair of starry eyes. They were bright under the luminous pearl, making him feel a rush of excitement.

"Who are you?"

After the demonic young man asked this, he immediately probed Xia Wuji with his spiritual consciousness.

He found that Xia Wuji did not have any Dharmic powers on him.

He was actually a Martial Artist!

The demonic young man was a little surprised, but he was suddenly excited.

He heard that Martial Artists had vigorous Qi and blood and had strong endurance …

Xia Wuji frowned slightly when he felt that the guy in front of him was looking at him strangely.

However, this guy seemed to be interested in him and did not scream anymore.

He wanted to take this opportunity to ask what was behind the door, but the demonic young man suddenly winked at him and smiled.

With a wave of his hand, a pink gas surged from his palm toward Xia Wuji.

Poison?

Xia Wuji's eyes turned cold. Without thinking, he threw a punch.

The punch carried a strong wind. Not only did it blow back the pink gas, but it also penetrated the chest of the demonic young man in front of him.

The demonic young man did not expect Xia Wuji to attack him.

What was even more unexpected was that Xia Wuji's strength was so great!

Even with his Qi Refinement level nine physical cultivation, he could not withstand a single blow.

However, he was not dead yet. Although his heart was destroyed, his brain was still intact.

However, with his heart destroyed, he could no longer maintain his human form. In an instant, he turned into a five-meter long green python.

Splat!

He fell to the ground.

Snake demon!

Xia Wuji's eyes turned even colder.

No wonder this guy looked at him differently and even smiled at him.

Snakes were lustful by nature.

However, he did not expect that this snake demon would not even let a man go!

Xia Wuji took a step forward and stepped on the snake demon's head like lightning.

Crack!

The snake demon's head was crushed by his foot. Immediately, the snake demon's body trembled violently and he died.

So weak!

Xia Wuji shook his head.

It was rumored that demons had strong physical bodies, but he did not expect it to be much weaker than he imagined.

Chapter 64

He reached out and put away the snake demon's huge corpse.

He also put away the Night-Luminescent Pearl.

Looking at the secret door, his heart skipped a beat.

There was a snake demon here.

And from the memories of the Xu family's concubine's remnant soul, the last thing that appeared during the Enlightenment of the Fairy Pavilion was a snake demon.

Could the snake demon here be related to the Fairy Pavilion?

Or was this related to the brothels on Fairy Street?

There were many white immortals in the brothels on Fairy Street and Rouge Square.

He knew that the so-called white immortals were snake demons.

He suddenly thought, could there be male snakes among the white immortals? And could those male snakes still be with the young masters of the famous families and rich merchants …

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but feel his hair stand on end.

Then, he prepared to walk through the open secret door.

But just as he took a step, his heart skipped a beat.

Then, he took out a human skin mask from his storage ring and put it on his face.

The human skin mask fit perfectly. In an instant, he became an ordinary-looking young man.

He took out a mirror and looked at it. He was very satisfied with his appearance and walked through the secret door.

After about a dozen steps, he entered a long passage that led downwards.

At the same time, the feeling of the second doppelganger component became clearer and clearer.

In a short while, he walked out of the passage.

What he saw made Xia Wuji's hair stand on end.

In front of him was a huge blood pool with a diameter of a hundred meters.

Countless baby corpses floated in it, and most of them were unborn fetuses. Their umbilical corpses floated in the blood.

What was this place?

Why were there so many stillborn babies?

Around this space, there were densely packed sacrificial runes. Traces of blood Qi followed these sacrificial runes and spread up to the dome at the top.

Who would have thought that such a strange place would appear below the Yao family's courtyard?

He suddenly realized, why did the entire Yao family die? Why didn't anyone clean this place up after so many years after they died? Even if this place was haunted, no one cared.

It was probably related to this place.

He was very suspicious that this was deliberately arranged by the City Lord's Mansion.

Or it could be said that the City Lord's Mansion, for some reason, decided to turn a blind eye to what was happening here.

In any case, the City Lord Mansion must have known about this and even acted as an accomplice.

Xia Wuji narrowed his eyes.

This Blue Moon City's waters were really not ordinary deep!

On the right-hand side, there was an open metal door.

Xia Wuji glanced at the blood pool and walked towards the metal door.

After walking in, there was a passageway about twenty meters long. The passageway then turned and began to spiral upwards.

Soon, they arrived in front of a door. Then, they passed through a light barrier and arrived at another space.

Looking at this space, Xia Wuji was stunned.

This … Could it be inside the bronze coffin?

They looked very similar.

However, there was a lot of space inside.

The surroundings were filled with runes.

Even the ground was engraved with complicated patterns, which dazzled Xia Wuji.

In the middle was a large bronze cauldron.

The four legs of the bronze cauldron were made from the Azure Dragon, White Tiger, Vermilion Bird, and Black Tortoise. The sun and moon were engraved on the cauldron, but they were all black.

Xia Wuji walked in front of it.

There was a pool of blood-red liquid in the cauldron, but it did not have any fishy smell. Instead, it emitted a faint fragrance.

"What liquid is this?"

Xia Wuji looked left and right but didn't see anything special.

At this moment, the black cauldron in his body suddenly transmitted a feeling that it wanted to devour.

"Devour this red liquid?"

Xia Wuji's heart skipped a beat.

Then, he stretched out his hand and a whirlpool appeared in his hand. The blood-red liquid was quickly sucked into the whirlpool.

In the blink of an eye, the blood-red liquid in the bronze cauldron was completely devoured.

When the blood-red liquid entered the black cauldron, it immediately turned into a rich green gas.

This made Xia Wuji very surprised.

With so much green gas, if calculated in terms of Spirit Stones, it would take at least five to six thousand pieces.

"What kind of energy is this red liquid? It can turn into so much green gas … "

Xia Wuji was puzzled.

Creak!

A door opened on the opposite side.

A middle-aged man with graying temples stepped in and was stunned when he saw Xia Wuji.

When he saw that the blood-red liquid in the bronze cauldron had disappeared, his expression changed drastically.

"Who are you? How did you get in? "

The middle-aged man shouted and waved his hand as he spoke.

Before Xia Wuji could react, a huge net-like object fell towards him and trapped him in the blink of an eye.

Instant Magic Treasure!

Xia Wuji was shocked.

However, he was not too worried because he felt that the net should not be able to trap him.

He exerted force with his whole body and a golden light flashed.

Crack crack crack …

The net-like Magic Treasure was torn apart in an instant.

The middle-aged man was taken aback.

His Spiritual Sense could tell that the young man opposite him did not have a trace of Magic Power.

In other words, this young man was just a martial artist.

However, it was this warrior who had forcibly destroyed his Skynet. This was simply unbelievable!

At this moment, the young man opposite him suddenly threw a punch at him.

Before the punch arrived, the wind from the punch had already blown his face painfully. His long hair danced wildly behind him and his clothes clung to his chest as if they would shatter in the next moment.

The middle-aged man was so shocked that his eyeballs almost popped out of their sockets.

The alarm in his heart was ringing wildly, as if frantically reminding him, "Don't let him hit you, or you will be killed!"

At this critical moment, the middle-aged man frantically activated the Magic Treasure in his body and shouted, "War God, come out!"

Immediately, a light flashed in front of him and a three-meter-tall metal puppet appeared.

As soon as the metal puppet appeared, Xia Wuji punched it.

Bang!

The metal puppet flew out and hit the middle-aged man behind it at the same time.

The middle-aged man was instantly sent flying by the impact of the metal puppet.

Fortunately, with the help of the metal puppet, the middle-aged man escaped with his life and only suffered a little injury.

After Xia Wuji hit the metal puppet, he stared at the metal puppet with an indescribable expression on his face.

"It's actually here!"

The middle-aged man who had just escaped roared, "War God, go! Kill him! "

It was unknown whether the metal puppet understood the man's command or whether the man used some kind of Magic Treasure to activate the metal puppet.

After the man roared, the metal puppet with a large part of its chest caved in rushed towards Xia Wuji with heavy steps.

Dong! Dong! Dong! …

That huge and strong body carried a strong sense of oppression as it rushed towards Xia Wuji.

However, Xia Wuji stood in place without moving, as if he was stunned by the huge metal puppet.

Only then did the middle-aged man let out a sigh of relief with lingering fear.

Once the powerful War God Puppet attacked with all its strength, no matter how strong this guy was, he could only die!

Chapter 65

Not only was the War God Puppet very powerful, but it could also produce intense flames and powerful electric currents when it attacked. Under a full-force attack, even a Foundation Establishment Stage Immortal Master would have a headache, not to mention the other party was just a martial artist.

However, the middle-aged man really couldn't figure out how this young martial artist in front of him could be so powerful.

Even if he started cultivating in his mother's womb, he shouldn't be so powerful.

He habitually scanned with his spiritual consciousness … Eh? Human-skinned mask!

The other party was actually even younger. He looked at most 18 or 19 years old …

At this moment, the scene in front of him stunned him.

Xia Wuji stretched out his hand. The moment the metal puppet touched him, it suddenly struck out with its palm.

At the moment when he was hit by him.

He heard a loud bang.

Then …

Crash!

The War God Puppet that the middle-aged man was so proud of instantly disintegrated. Its parts scattered all over the ground, and the lower half disappeared directly.

"What?!"

The middle-aged man was so shocked that his eyeballs almost fell out.

One had to know that this was the strongest trump card that he had always been so proud of.

But now, this young man in front of him actually destroyed it with one punch … no, with one palm.

And the lower half was directly destroyed.

What kind of palm technique was this?

Even if a Foundation Establishment Stage Immortal Master used a powerful Dharma artifact, he wouldn't be able to destroy the lower half of his War God Puppet.

At this moment, a smile finally appeared on Xia Wuji's face.

He really didn't expect that someone would actually make the lower half of his second mechanical clone into a metal puppet and connect it so well.

This metal puppet's combat strength was actually quite good.

Unfortunately, it encountered him and didn't even have the chance to use half of its strength before it was directly interrupted at the connection point and taken away.

What was even more unexpected was that he actually obtained the complete lower half. Both legs and feet were very complete.

Now, there was only a left arm, a chest, and a head left.

"If only these three things were together …"

Xia Wuji smiled slightly.

If the three things were together, as long as he could find them, everything would be complete.

After the mechanical body was restored, he could obtain the power of the void and enter the Astral Realm. No matter what, he was very curious and looked forward to it.

He looked at the middle-aged man in front of him. Without saying anything, he directly punched out.

He knew that it was useless to ask.

He might as well just kill him and be done with it.

Sensing the terrifying baleful aura, the middle-aged man came back to his senses and was shocked.

He immediately formed an incantation gesture with both hands and a beam of light appeared. It was a flying sword that pierced towards Xia Wuji's chest.

The flying sword was extremely fast, but Xia Wuji's fist was even faster.

Bang!

He punched the flying sword.

The flying sword shattered into pieces and exploded on the spot.

The middle-aged man opened his mouth and spat out a mouthful of blood, looking extremely shocked.

With his flying sword destroyed, the middle-aged man lost half of his strength, but this was not enough to make him yield.

He was an immortal cultivator, and it was a disgrace to submit to a martial artist.

With a wave of his hand, a talisman appeared. In an instant, a bolt of lightning appeared above Xia Wuji's head.

Xia Wuji's eyes narrowed.

This was the first time he had faced such a talisman attack.

Anyone who faced lightning would have an instinctive fear, and he was no exception.

His aura skyrocketed. The violent aura caused his long hair to dance and his clothes to flutter. His entire body was suffused with golden light.

He threw a punch at Thunder.

Peng ~

The violent fist force blew up the Thunder that was about to fall.

The middle-aged man's pupils constricted fiercely, and he looked shocked.

He had lost count of how many times he had been shocked by Xia Wuji.

Was he really just an Acquired Warrior? Not an Innate Stage?

Even if he was an Innate Stage, he shouldn't be so powerful that he could blow up Thunder with one punch.

Where did this freak come from?

Although he was shocked, his hands did not slow down.

After summoning the Thunder Talisman, he formed a series of incantation gestures with both hands, and a powerful immortal technique finally appeared.

The wind and clouds surged in the entire space, and the shadow of a huge mountain appeared. It quickly solidified and pressed down on Xia Wuji.

At the same time, countless upside-down spikes appeared at the bottom of the mountain.

Xia Wuji felt as if he was in a small world, and the entire sky was occupied by this huge mountain. It wanted to crush him into meat paste and pierce him into meat sauce.

"Good timing!"

Xia Wuji shouted with excitement in his eyes.

This kind of opportunity to use his full strength always made him very excited.

His aura skyrocketed, and a huge tiger head appeared above his head. It opened its bloody mouth and roared at the sky ferociously.

He punched out.

Tiger Might Kill!

The ferocious fist power instantly pierced through the huge mountain.

The rapidly descending mountain suddenly paused.

Then —

Peng ~

The mountain exploded and turned into endless energy that swept in all directions.

The middle-aged man's face was pale and full of horror. "He is actually a master of the Martial Taoist sect! Even a forbidden immortal technique can't kill him! How is this possible? How is this possible? "

"Everything is possible!"

Xia Wuji's cold voice sounded.

Before he finished speaking, a figure flashed, and Xia Wuji appeared in front of him.

He punched out.

The man was shocked. He pushed his hands, and three flame talismans appeared in front of him, forming three huge fireballs that attacked Xia Wuji.

At the same time, a shield appeared in front of him.

The shield grew with the wind, and instantly became more than two meters tall.

This was the man's last treasure.

After killing Xia Wuji, the middle-aged man had already given up on this unrealistic idea.

He only hoped that he could block Xia Wuji so that he could have a chance to catch his breath and escape.

With his Mortal Realm Stage 11 cultivation, if he used all his strength to escape, this martial artist in front of him wouldn't be able to catch up.

Unfortunately, even this pitiful wish didn't come true.

The moment the shield grew to two meters, the three fireballs were also shattered by Xia Wuji's punch.

Then with a bang, the shield was broken.

The shield was connected to his mind. After it was broken, the middle-aged man's vision went black, and before he could even spit out blood, the powerful fist force rushed towards his chest.

The middle-aged man's eyes were bloodshot, and he instinctively blocked with his hands.

Crack!

The bones in his arms were shattered, and if it wasn't for the defensive robe he was wearing, his body would have been smashed.

The middle-aged man flew out and hit the bronze wall, making a muffled sound.

Xia Wuji's face didn't change at all. He stepped forward and turned into a shadow, appearing in front of the man in an instant, and raised his hand to punch.

Seeing Xia Wuji punch him again, the man who couldn't move his arms shouted in horror: "You can't kill me, or you will be hunted by the Son Of God forever! Even if you wear a human skin mask, it will be useless! "

Son Of God? Human skin mask …

Xia Wuji was stunned.

He immediately stopped.

He sighed in his heart: Sure enough, this kind of garbage can only fool ordinary people. Normal human skin masks are useless against cultivators.

Then he asked: "Who is the Son Of God?"

The middle-aged man saw Xia Wuji stop and let out a sigh of relief.

Chapter 66

He thought that the mention of the Son Of God had intimidated Xia Wuji, and that the fear of death had dissipated quite a bit.

Therefore, in response to Xia Wuji's question, his face sank, and he said very firmly, "You don't need to know."

Xia Wuji was startled.

Was this guy retarded?

Then, his eyes flashed coldly, and he shouted condescendingly, "Do you want to die?"

"How could a mere mortal like you know about the Son Of God?"

As if coming back to his senses, when the Son Of God was mentioned again, this guy became more confident. A touch of disdain and sarcasm appeared on his pale face, as if he was not afraid of Xia Wuji's threat.

It was as if, as long as the Son Of God was mentioned, the Son Of God would give him all of his power.

Xia Wuji was a little surprised.

Who was this Son Of God? How could he make a person so confident in the face of death?

He could see that when the man mentioned the Son Of God, the fanaticism and fear in his eyes came from the bottom of his heart.

Since this guy was unwilling to mention the Son Of God, Xia Wuji asked, "Then let me ask you, what are you doing here? What's with the blood pool below? "

Just as the man was about to refuse to answer, Xia Wuji continued, "If you don't speak, you'll die immediately!"

As he spoke, the surrounding temperature dropped rapidly.

His patience seemed to be exhausted in the next moment, and the middle-aged man was about to face his thunderous killing!

The middle-aged man looked somewhat fearful, but he still stubbornly said, "We all serve the Son Of God. If you dare to kill me, it's equivalent to offending the Son Of God. When the time comes, not only you, but your entire family will be annihilated!"

Xia Wuji's expression was cold as he lifted his foot and stomped down.

Crack!

The middle-aged man's calf was broken by his foot, and blood spurted out.

"Ah —"

The man screamed as cold sweat flowed down his back.

Xia Wuji was expressionless. With a flash of light in his hand, a nine-ringed broadsword appeared. He said coldly, "I'll ask you one more time. If you don't answer, I'll chop you into minced meat!"

Hearing that Xia Wuji was going to chop him into minced meat, the man's pale face finally changed when he saw the nine-ringed broadsword gleaming with cold light.

He swallowed hard, as if he had made a big decision. His lips trembled as he said, "If I tell you, will you not kill me?"

Xia Wuji nodded.

"This pool is called the Blood Essence Pool. This is the place where the innate essence of the fetus is collected."

The middle-aged man said.

Blood Essence Pool, Xiantian Essence Qi …

Xia Wuji's heart skipped a beat.

"What about the Xiantian essence?"

The middle-aged man said, "The Connate Essence Qi that has been collected has been gathered in the bronze cauldron."

So, the red liquid that was swallowed and refined by the black cauldron was the collected innate energy essence?

No wonder it could convert so much green gas!

Xia Wuji quietly waited for him to continue, but the man didn't say anything.

"Anything else?"

Xia Wuji asked.

"Nothing else. That's all."

The man said.

Xia Wuji frowned. "Then let me ask you, where did all these fetus come from?"

The middle-aged man hesitated, but when he saw Xia Wuji's unfriendly gaze and the nine-ringed broadsword in his hand facing him, he finally said, "... Enlightenment."

Enlightenment!

Xia Wuji's pupils constricted.

Thinking of the many fetus in the blood pool below, he seemed to understand something.

"You're an Immortal Cultivator. Aren't you afraid of being struck by lightning for doing such a heinous thing?"

Xia Wuji asked.

He knew that Immortal Cultivators had to face lightning tribulations.

If one committed too many sins and had too much negative karma, one would almost certainly die when encountering lightning tribulations.

He didn't expect that when it came to lightning tribulations, this man wasn't afraid at all. Although he was still bleeding and his face was pale, he still said proudly, "With the Son Of God here, what's there to be afraid of?"

"You can't imagine how powerful the Son Of God is!"

"How powerful is he?"

"How powerful? Haha, the Son Of God is so powerful that you won't be able to see his back for the rest of your life! He's the chosen one of the heavens! If you follow him, you'll become an Immortal in the future! "

At the mention of the Son Of God, the middle-aged man's eyes were filled with fanaticism.

Xia Wuji frowned inwardly.

This man had already been brainwashed by the so-called Son Of God to the point where he had lost himself.

"Who is the Son Of God? Where is he? "

The middle-aged man said solemnly, "The Son Of God is the Son Of God. He's in our hearts."

Lunatic!

Xia Wuji really wanted to kick him to death.

"The so-called Enlightenment is actually collecting the Connate Essence of the fetus?"

The man hesitated for a moment, then nodded with an indifferent expression.

Xia Wuji thought to himself, "Why do you collect the Connate Essence of the fetus?"

The middle-aged man: "…"

Xia Wuji stared at him. Seeing that this guy wasn't going to say anything, he changed the question. "Are there any other cities besides Blue Moon City that collect the Connate Essence of the fetus?"

The middle-aged man hesitated for a moment again, then said, "There are many. The Great Chu Country is the Country of Immortals, so we naturally have to serve the Son Of God. "

Xia Wuji was puzzled. "What is the Country of Immortals?"

The middle-aged man said, "It's the country that the Son Of God supports."

Support?

Xia Wuji's heart skipped a beat.

Did the so-called Country of Immortals mean that they were raised by Immortals?

If that was the case, then wouldn't the owner of the entire Great Chu Country be the Son Of God?

"Then were the snake demons in Blue Moon City sent by the Son Of God?"

The middle-aged man: "All of us are servants of the Son Of God."

Xia Wuji: "After collecting the Connate Essence, where do you send it?"

The middle-aged man: "…"

Xia Wuji: "Which sect does the Son Of God belong to?"

The middle-aged man: "…"

Xia Wuji: "Which people in Blue Moon City belong to the Son Of God?"

The middle-aged man: "…"

Xia Wuji: "Are all the people in Fairy Pavilion members of the Son Of God?"

The middle-aged man: "…"

Xia Wuji: "Are all the people in Fairy Pavilion members demons?"

The middle-aged man: "…"

Xia Wuji nodded. "Then you're useless."

After saying that, he stomped his foot on the middle-aged man's chest without hesitation.

The middle-aged man suddenly laughed maniacally, his pale face full of malevolence. "So what if you're from the Taoist sect! Anyone who disrupts the worship of the Son Of God must die! Just wait to be hunted down by our people! I'll be waiting for you in the Yellow Springs!! "

After saying that, he opened his mouth and spat out a mouthful of blood at Xia Wuji.

The blood was like an arrow. At such a close distance, it sprayed onto Xia Wuji's leg, and a tiny rune flashed.

At the same time, Xia Wuji's foot had already crushed the middle-aged man's chest.

The middle-aged man's eyeballs popped out on the spot, and he died.

Xia Wuji was still worried, so he directly released the Ghost King's clone, and the Ghost Realm started to collect the remnant souls. Only then did this end.

But his expression was a little gloomy at this moment.

Although this guy was dead, he had spat out a mouthful of blood at him just now.

Although he didn't feel anything from the blood on his body, and he even directly shook the blood away, not leaving a single drop on his body.

But he had a feeling that this man's actions weren't aimless.

After thinking about it, he still felt a little uneasy.

"I'll ask that girl Yun Qingyao later. Maybe she can figure it out …"

Ever since Yun Qingyao started cultivating, she had changed a lot, especially in terms of knowledge.

He felt that this might have something to do with Yun Qingyao having a powerful master.

However, he wouldn't get to the bottom of Yun Qingyao because of this. Everyone had their own secrets, and everyone had their own opportunities.

He had his own fortuitous opportunity, Yun Qingyao had her own fortuitous opportunity, and even Xia Hu had his own fortuitous opportunity.

As long as everyone could live in harmony with each other, this was more important than anything else.

Thinking of this, he directly grabbed the storage bag on the middle-aged man's body.

Then he put away the "dismembered body" of the metal puppet on the ground.

Chapter 67

He wanted to take away the bronze cauldron as well, but after thinking about it, he decided not to.

Not to mention whether this place would collapse and bury him if he took away the bronze cauldron.

If he really took away the bronze cauldron, it would be equivalent to going against the Son Of God.

Xia Wuji didn't think that with his current strength, he could go head-to-head with the other party.

Besides, he didn't even have a place to sell it.

Who could he sell it to?

It would be troublesome if he followed the clues and found him.

So, forget it.

Before he had the strength, it was better to lie low.

However, even if he didn't take it away, it would be fine to disgust the other party.

He grabbed the middle-aged man's body and threw it into the bronze cauldron.

He took out the corpse powder and was about to pour it.

After thinking about it, he also took out the snake demon's body and put it in the bronze cauldron.

"Well, it's just enough to fill the cauldron."

"I'll also sprinkle some pepper on you."

The corpse powder was sprinkled on the two corpses.

The two corpses turned into liquid at a speed visible to the naked eye.

It's done, it's time to pack up!

He looked up at the secret door that the middle-aged man had walked out of.

According to the middle-aged man's words, the secret door might lead to the snake demon fairies.

But after thinking about it, he didn't go in.

Even if he killed a group of demonesses, it was equivalent to poking a hornet's nest. Who knew if a few powerful experts would come out from behind? In the end, the loss would outweigh the gain.

Moreover, this trip could be said to be quite fruitful. Not only did he obtain the lower half of the second clone mechanical body, but he also absorbed a lot of essence and refined a lot of green gas.

"I'm still a weakling. It's better to keep a low profile and not be impulsive."

Xia Wuji warned himself.

He turned around and went back the way he came.

When he returned to the bronze coffin, he saw ghosts flying around inside, wailing and howling.

Xia Wuji was shocked.

Could it be that all the ghosts in the Yao family's courtyard ran here?

Perhaps there was something about the secret door here that the ghosts were afraid of. These ghosts were only in the space of the bronze coffin and didn't enter the passage.

When they saw Xia Wuji appear, these ghosts pounced on him one by one.

These ghosts might have died unjustly when they were alive.

But now, they were just ghosts who didn't want to die, so Xia Wuji naturally wouldn't be polite.

With a thought, the Ghost King appeared, and the Ghost Domain quickly spread out.

It enveloped all the ghosts within.

"Kekeke …"

The Ghost King's clone cried out in joy. All the ghosts that entered the Ghost Domain turned into black smoke and were absorbed by the Ghost King's clone.

The Ghost King's avatar had reached the Late Stage of Growth, and the Ghost Domain had reached a diameter of 150 feet, which was about 50 meters in diameter.

This was a rather large range.

Some fragmented memories quickly flashed through Xia Wuji's mind …

Xia Wuji skimmed through it and sighed.

The death of the Yao Family was indeed not a coincidence.

Many years ago, a group of black-robed men entered the Yao family and killed everyone they saw. Everyone was killed, including the adults and the children.

All the corpses were sunk into the well in the ancestral hall's courtyard.

It was all because of this underground altar.

Only when all the Yao Family members were dead would the underground altar not be known by outsiders.

Because of the altar, the Yao Family's courtyard was too heavy with Yin Qi, and the evil aura was too dense. Ordinary people simply couldn't live here. This was also the reason why the Yao Family's courtyard was haunted, and the surrounding neighbors couldn't live in peace.

Grabbing the rope, he quickly got out of this space and climbed up the well through the passage.

The sky was dotted with stars. Under the night sky, the Yao Family's courtyard was still gloomy, but the air was no longer cold and oppressive, and the evil aura was heavy.

Xia Wuji believed that the City Lord's residence would send people to seal off this place tomorrow.

But he didn't pay too much attention to this.

He wasn't a saint. In the words of immortal cultivators, the cycle of the Heavenly Dao, everything was predetermined, and everyone was in the Heaven and Earth Chessboard.

And he only needed to properly accumulate energy, and one day he would be able to jump out of this Heaven and Earth Chessboard.

From the backyard, he quickly walked to the front yard.

Just as he walked into the corridor, he suddenly felt a sense of danger.

A cold sword suddenly stabbed straight at him from the front.

In a trance, a bright moon seemed to appear in front of him. The bright moon grew at a speed visible to the naked eye, quickly occupying his entire line of sight.

At this moment, a sword also appeared behind him. It was a dark and boundless sword, as if one would fall into a bottomless abyss with just a glance, and it stabbed at his back.

Attacked from the front and back in the corridor, there was no way to escape, no way to dodge.

Xia Wuji's face was cold.

Another assassination attempt!

He didn't need to think to know that at this time, other than the Liu family, the City Lord's concubine, Liu Chan, would hire assassins to assassinate him.

It could be said that there was no one else.

You really think I have a good temper!

Circulating his power, his whole body's aura skyrocketed.

Then a silent roar sounded, and a huge shadow of a tiger's head appeared above his head, roaring to the sky.

Xia Wuji punched out.

The huge full moon in front of him suddenly shattered, and the fist glowing with golden light hit the tip of the cold sword.

Peng!

The cold sword exploded.

The huge force suddenly pierced the assassin hiding in the shadows in front of him.

The assassin suddenly felt like he had been hit hard. His body bent backward like a shrimp, and he quickly slid backward. His chest quickly caved in, and then his back exploded with a bang, and a bloody mist filled the air.

The assassin flew dozens of meters away and fell to the ground like a broken sack.

At this time, the dark sword stabbed Xia Wuji's back at the same time.

However, the assassin didn't feel the long sword enter his body as he imagined. He only felt that the sword had stabbed into hard ten-thousand-year-old black iron.

The dark cold sword in his hand shook violently, and his hand went numb.

The assassin was shocked.

At this moment, the huge aura emitted by Xia Wuji made it clear to him that the target in front of him was actually a Taoist sect master!

The information was wrong! He couldn't be defeated!

The assassin didn't hesitate to escape.

At this moment, Xia Wuji suddenly turned around, and his fist glowing with golden light blasted out without hesitation.

The huge force penetrated the assassin hiding in the darkness who was about to turn around and escape.

A big hole appeared in the assassin's chest, and he died on the spot. He flew dozens of meters away, crashed into a wall, and was submerged in the ruins.

Xia Wuji was about to leave when he suddenly remembered something.

He dragged the two corpses over and searched them. He didn't find anything, and then sprinkled the corpse decomposing powder. The two corpses turned into a pool of blood in a short time.

He found the last assassin's sword and put it away.

This sword was intact after stabbing him, and the material was better than the previous assassin's.

Then he jumped over the wall and left the Yao family's courtyard, disappearing into the night.

The first thing he did when he got home was to take a bath.

After washing his whole body, he began to cultivate in the secret room.

Looking at the slowly rotating green gas in the black cauldron, Xia Wuji was happy.

This much green gas was enough to increase his strength by a lot.

With a thought, he called out the panel.

Chapter 68

[Cultivation Method: Dragon Tiger Skill]

[Realm: Seventh Heaven of Body Completion Realm (Upgradeable)]

…

[Martial Arts: Iron Shirt]

[Status: Invulnerable (Perfect)]

[Martial Arts: Golden Bell Shield]

[Status: Sixth Level (Upgradeable)]

…

Xia Wuji's gaze first paused on the realm, then swept across the martial arts.

He hesitated for a moment.

Finally, he returned to the realm.

"Now I'm at Seventh Heaven of Body Completion Realm. If I continue to upgrade, will I break through to the Innate Realm?"

Xia Wuji thought.

If he broke through to the Innate Realm, his strength would undergo an earth-shattering change.

At that time, even if his martial arts were slightly weaker, he would have a lot of time and opportunities to make up for it.

After thinking, he directly clicked "upgradeable" on the realm.

Upgrade —

Almost half of the green energy disappeared in an instant.

Boom … His conception meridian was opened.

His qi and blood transformed, and his inner strength was born, turning into Houtian true qi that circulated in his meridians and finally returned to his dantian.

A strong force surged through his body.

Practicing "Thirty-six Star Transformations", visualizing the stars in the universe …

One cycle, two cycles, three cycles …

His body was transforming again and again …

After all the transformations were completed, Xia Wuji clicked "upgrade" again without hesitation …

Boom!

The last governing meridian was opened, and the surging power boiled in his body again.

He continued to practice "Thirty-six Star Transformations" …

After two hours, the transformation was completed.

Xia Wuji stopped.

Ninth Heaven of Body Completion Realm.

His physical strength became extremely strong.

But looking at the panel, he frowned slightly.

The words "upgradeable" behind the realm disappeared.

Could it be that Dragon Tiger Skill couldn't be upgraded after reaching the peak of the Postliminary Realm?

Or was there insufficient green energy?

Unfortunately, there was no indication on the panel.

Xia Wuji let out a long sigh and shook his head.

Forget it, I'll upgrade the Golden Bell Shield first.

Tonight, when the assassin stabbed him in the back, he still felt a lingering fear when he thought about it.

If the other party's attack was ten times stronger, the terrifying stab on his back would have taken his life immediately.

Upgrade …

His physical body had already undergone seventy-four transformations. It was much easier to cultivate the Golden Bell Shield again.

The seventh level of the Golden Bell Shield, "Body as Iron" …

The eighth level, Tempered into Steel …

The ninth level, Tempered Thousand Tempering …

The tenth floor was Indestructible.

His fleshly body was constantly being tempered like fine iron, turning into steel, then into fine iron, and finally into indestructible black iron.

Once it was activated, the golden light was so bright that nothing could destroy it!

The Golden Bell Shield was completed.

Xia Wuji let out a long sigh of relief as he felt the powerful defensive power of his body. Only then did he relax a little.

He glanced at the small amount of green gas left in the black cauldron.

With a thought, he left the space.

He took out the middle-aged man's storage pouch.

Looking at the ownerless storage bag in front of him, Xia Wuji shook his head.

Every time this happened, he wanted to step into the Xiantian Realm as soon as possible.

Once he stepped into the Xiantian realm, he would have spiritual power. At that time, he would no longer need to use the method of dripping blood to recognize the owner to search for the items in other people's storage bags.

It was a pity that the opportunity to enter the Innate Stage had not arrived yet.

He cut his finger with the sword and dripped his blood on it to claim ownership.

Then, everything in the storage bag appeared in his mind.

Eh? This storage pouch wasn't small. It was actually as big as a small house.

Xia Wuji was a little surprised.

But then, he felt relieved.

That metal puppet was so big. Without such a large storage pouch, there was no way it could be stored.

But when he saw the items in the storage pouch, he was a little disappointed.

Apart from a few clothes, there were more than a hundred spirit stones and a small bottle of elixirs.

There were no talismans or secret manuals.

If it was in the past, he would be a little excited to see more than a hundred spirit stones.

But now …

"Damn, so poor."

Xia Wuji curled his lips and muttered.

The elixirs were ordinary Qi boosting elixirs. Although they were not cheap, they were not very expensive either.

Five spirit stones for one elixir.

There were a total of three elixirs left in this small bottle.

He sent the spirit stones and elixirs into the black cauldron and turned them into green gas.

He clicked on the Ferocious Tiger Fist. "Upgrade —"

The green gas quickly disappeared.

Xia Wuji's vision blurred. It was as if he had turned into a huge tiger … A powerful attack was imprinted in his mind.

Tiger Might Kill (Level 10)!

…

[Cultivation Method: Dragon-Tiger Technique]

[Second Clone: Mechanical Body (Recovering)]

[Ability: Critical Hit; Disintegrate and recover; After recovery, it can possess the power of the void and enter the Astral World.]

…

Currently, other than the Ferocious Tiger Fist, Ferocious Tiger Saber Technique, and the two clones that could still be improved, the rest could not be improved.

The Ren and Du meridians had been opened, but he had not sensed the Connate Qi. The Heaven and Earth Bridge had not been opened...

If he could sense the Connate Qi, he would be able to open the Heaven and Earth Bridge and step into the Connate Stage.

Xia Wuji didn't have a clue about this either.

However, he was not in a hurry.

In a short period of time, he had cultivated from the Third Firmament of Blood Qi to the peak of the Postnatal Stage. He had surpassed other people's years or even decades of cultivation.

As long as he settled down for a period of time, he might be able to find the opportunity to break through to the Connate Stage.

Moreover, going from the Postnatal Stage to the Connate Stage was a transformation of life.

This process could not be rushed.

Feeling the majestic power in his body, Xia Wuji's lips curled into a smile. He got up and went out to wash up before resting.

The next day.

Early in the morning, just as dawn broke, he woke up Yun Qingyao and asked her to check if there was anything wrong with his body.

The middle-aged man spat a mouthful of blood at him before he died. He had a feeling that it was not that simple.

Yun Qingyao saw Xia Wuji's abnormal behavior and was a little puzzled. Everything was fine. What was wrong?

However, since Xia Wuji asked, she did not refuse.

She quickly dressed and got out of bed. Then, she went to the living room.

She used her divine consciousness to check …

"Hmm? Tracking Blood Talisman. "

Yun Qingyao found a special blood talisman that was firmly imprinted in Xia Wuji's flesh on his leg.

Xia Wuji was shocked.

He was indeed tricked by that guy.

"Is there any way to remove it?"

Yun Qingyao used her divine consciousness and the blood talisman disappeared.

She then smiled and said, "Okay, it's gone."

"Huh? So fast. "

If he did not feel a trace of coldness on his leg, Xia Wuji would have thought that this girl was teasing him.

"You have improved a lot recently."

Xia Wuji praised.

"Yeah, I just broke through to the Mortal Realm Stage Three."

Yun Qingyao said with a smile.

"What? Reaching Mortal Realm Stage 3 in such a short time? How many days has it been? "

Xia Wuji was shocked.

"You are already at the peak of the Postnatal Stage. Is my speed fast? I'd like to ask you how you cultivate. "

Yun Qingyao rolled her beautiful eyes at him.

Xia Wuji was shocked and was about to ask how did you know.

But then he smiled and shook his head.

This girl just used her divine consciousness to check him, so of course she knew the condition of his body.

But what he did not know was that Yun Qingyao did not use her divine consciousness, but a higher level divine consciousness.

But he did not explain and saw Xia Hu coming.

Xia Hu did not expect Xia Wuji to come here so early in the morning.

But he did not care too much.

"Morning, young master."

Xia Wuji nodded and asked, "Big Tiger, what is your level now?"

"I just entered the first level of Barbarian Body."

Xia Hu said.

"First level of Barbarian Body?" Xia Wuji was shocked, "What level is that?"

"Uh … It is the level after the Viscera Refining stage."

Xia Hu said.

Yun Qingyao explained, "In the cultivation of Barbarian Body, each level is a level higher than the next. The first level of Barbarian Body is equivalent to the Body Completion Stage, which is the Postnatal Stage for martial artists. The second level is equivalent to the Postnatal Stage for martial artists. As he continues to cultivate and improve, his cultivation technique will continue to be unsealed, and he will be able to reach the Xiantian realm. "

Reaching the Postnatal Stage!

Or even above the Postnatal Stage!

Xia Wuji was really envious.

And he had reached the peak of the Postnatal Stage, but there was no follow-up.

But he was not in a hurry.

With the existence of the black cauldron that could refine the Azure Qi to break through, there was no need to worry about breaking through the Postnatal Stage.

Chapter 69

In the morning, it was said that someone had discovered a plague in the Yao family's courtyard. The city lord's residence had sent people to surround the Yao family's courtyard, preventing anyone from approaching. The immortals were taking care of it.

Other than that, there was nothing else.

In the afternoon, the Zhao family released a missing person notice, because Zhao Chuan had disappeared.

All of this was within Xia Wuji's expectations.

Every day, other than practicing martial arts and saber techniques, he would lie under the sun and sleep.

The spring sun was warm, and even the wind was so gentle. Sleeping was the best enjoyment.

Perhaps because they had failed to assassinate Xia Wuji time and time again, the Lunar Shadow Tower didn't send any more assassins.

But this didn't mean that Xia Wuji had forgotten about the Lunar Shadow Tower.

It was just that he felt that such an assassin organization should have at least a Foundation Establishment immortal behind them, so he didn't want to touch the Lunar Shadow Tower before he had full confidence.

Chen Yan and the other young masters of the big families also didn't come again, as if they had forgotten about him.

They were nowhere to be seen in the brothels on Fairy Street.

It was said that they were busy preparing funds for the auction.

Xia Wuji asked Xia Hu to keep an eye out for masks that even immortal cultivators couldn't detect.

If there was, he would buy it no matter how much money he had to spend.

But after a few days, Xia Hu didn't find any such masks.

This made Xia Wuji sigh slightly.

"Forget it, let that woman Liu Chan live for a few more days."

If people don't offend me, I won't offend them. If people offend me, I will definitely offend them!

From the moment this woman sent the Black Tiger Gang to kill him, he had already sentenced her to death.

But to kill this woman, he had to enter the city lord's residence. But the city lord's residence was heavily guarded, and it wouldn't be good if someone discovered his true identity.

The human skin mask could only fool ordinary people, but it was ineffective against immortals' spiritual senses.

However, although he did not find any magic treasure, Xia Hu had discovered He Jun's whereabouts in the brothel in the past few days.

However, Xia Hu had always kept his Young Master's warning in mind. If he wasn't absolutely certain, he would never make a move on the Uigi School's Young Master.

Although his cultivation level was not low, having reached the Mortal Realm Stage 8 at such a young age, Xia Hu felt that if he were to get close to him, he would be able to take him down in one breath.

However, as the young master of the Uigi School, He Jun definitely wouldn't appear in Blue Moon City alone. There must be an expert protecting him in the dark.

Therefore, although there were many opportunities to make a move in the brothel, Xia Hu did not act rashly.

Every day, he would report the news to the young master on time.

Xia Wuji also thought that Xia Hu had considered everything thoroughly.

Days passed.

What surprised Xia Wuji was that Yun Qingyao's progress had been very fast ever since she had fused with the Spirit Root.

In just a few days, he broke through again and stepped into the fourth level of the Mortal Realm.

This made him exclaim in admiration.

This girl was indeed born to be an Immortal.

As for Xia Hu, although he didn't pay much attention to him, he felt that Xia Hu's strength seemed to be increasing every day.

This made Xia Wuji very happy.

"It seems that the demon meat is quite useful for Big Tiger. Maybe I should buy some pills to increase his strength …"

The stronger Xia Hu was, the more useful he would be to him in the future.

At least they could protect themselves and prevent him from having to worry about the future.

Whether it was the Lunar Shadow Tower or the City Lord's Mansion, there would definitely be a big battle in the future.

More importantly, he had bumped into the Son Of God's plan.

He didn't know if the Fairy Pavilion would find out about him one day, or if he would cross paths with the high and mighty Son Of God in the future, but it was better to be safe than sorry.

Blue Moon City was just a small city. There were many big cities and Royal Cities above it, so there must be many powerful Immortals.

However, the true master of such a powerful country was not the ruler, but the Son Of God.

To be able to mobilize the entire country and countless Immortals to serve him openly, it was clear how powerful the Son Of God was.

Therefore, it was very important to work hard to strengthen oneself.

Not only him, but Yun Qingyao and Xia Hu were also the same.

When the nest is overturned, no egg can remain unbroken.

Only when one's own strength was strong could one not fear all the challenges in the future.

Of course, all of this required a lot of resources.

Because Yun Qingyao had mid-grade spirit stones, she didn't lack resources for the time being. However, Xia Hu's daily consumption was very large.

In just ten days, this kid had spent more than a hundred thousand taels of silver, all of which he spent on buying demon meat.

"I'm still short on money!"

Xia Wuji sighed.

However, he didn't know that the City Lord's Mansion had already begun to suspect him.

And the one who provided the information was the Lunar Shadow Tower.

The Lunar Shadow Tower's continuous failure to assassinate him made them suspect that there was a strong cultivator in the Xia family, and then suspect that Xia Wuji himself might be a strong cultivator.

Although this deduction seemed ridiculous, according to the information they gathered, Xia Wuji already possessed great strength.

He had once defeated Iron Hand Xiao Sanlang with a single punch on the Xiuyue Pleasure Boat.

Although this information was kept secret, and Xiao Sanlang himself kept his mouth shut, the Lunar Shadow Tower still found out about this through Xiao Sanlang's subordinates, which made them extremely shocked.

In other words, Xia Wuji wasn't the useless young master he appeared to be.

He was a martial arts genius who had been hiding his strength all this time.

Moreover, the Lunar Shadow Tower's four assassination attempts on him had all failed. The first three times, his corpse could be found, killed with a single punch.

The last time, the Lunar Shadow Tower sent out two peak Houtian experts, but they still failed.

In the end, even their corpses couldn't be found.

Thus, it was very likely that they were killed by Xia Wuji directly, and not by someone else.

If this deduction was true, then everything that had happened before could be explained.

After all, if the Xia family had experts, they could have directly warned these organizations and the City Lord's Mansion. There was no need for them to protect Xia Wuji in secret all the time.

Moreover, even if they protected Xia Wuji all the time, they wouldn't be able to do it without anyone noticing.

In the study of the City Lord's Mansion.

After receiving the information from the Lunar Shadow Tower, the City Lord, Meng Yuechao, slowly paced back and forth in the study, his eyes flickering.

Considering the meeting and cooperation between Tan Jian and Xia Wuji, and the annihilation of the Black Tiger Gang, he realized that all of this was closely related to Xia Wuji.

However, thinking about it this way, it was really too shocking.

This meant that Xia Wuji was very likely a Xiantian expert. Only a Xiantian expert could easily kill Hu Yidao, the leader of the Black Tiger Gang, who was at the peak Houtian level.

But an 18-year-old Xiantian expert?

Was that possible?

In addition, the discovery of the altar under the Yao family's courtyard seemed to have something to do with Xia Wuji.

Xia Wuji was able to kill the murderous ghost in the Hong family's courtyard that even the Immortals of the Heavenly Eagle Pavilion couldn't get rid of. After that, he even entered the Xu family's courtyard and helped the Xu family to kill the murderous ghost.

The Yao family's courtyard where the ghosts were flying shouldn't be much of a threat to him.

The reason why he deduced that it might be Xia Wuji's doing was because the passage at the bottom of the well was created by brute force.

As for how Xia Wuji broke through the space stone wall that was as hard as iron, he didn't know.

Perhaps he had a powerful magic weapon … Meng Yuechao could only think of this.

Of course, there were still many suspicious points. For example, how did he avoid being killed by the experts in the altar? How did the experts in the altar get killed and their corpses destroyed? These were all things that were difficult to explain.

It was impossible to say that Xia Wuji was strong enough to kill an Immortal at the peak of the Qi Refining stage.

An Immortal at the peak of the Qi Refining stage could easily kill countless martial artists at the peak of the Postnatal stage by relying on spells and magic treasures.

No matter how strong Xia Wuji was, he couldn't do it unless he was a Xiantian expert.

However, if Xia Wuji was really a Xiantian expert, why did he need to be so secretive?

If he directly revealed his true strength, who in Blue Moon City would dare to make things difficult for him?

Even he, the City Lord, would be polite to him.

Moreover, every action of a Xiantian expert was naturally different from that of a Postnatal martial artist. With his Spiritual Sense and eyesight as a Foundation Establishment expert, how could he not see it?

Therefore, everything was still suspicious and lacking some evidence.

Moreover, there had always been rumors that the Xia family had an Immortal expert.

It was better to believe it than not.

With the previous example of the Black Tiger Gang being wiped out, Meng Yuechao couldn't be reckless again.

However, this didn't mean that he wouldn't do anything.

"Men."

"Present."

In the dimly lit study room, two people wrapped in black suddenly appeared.

Their auras were not obvious, and it was difficult to discover them hiding in the shadows.

"From today onwards, keep an eye on the Xia family 24 hours a day, especially Xia Wuji. Report any abnormalities immediately!"

"Yes!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the two black figures disappeared.

Meng Yuechao walked to the desk with his hands behind his back and looked up at the dark sky outside the window. His deep eyes were slightly sharp.

Once evidence was found to prove that the altar incident was caused by Xia Wuji, even if the Xia family really had an Immortal expert secretly protecting them, even if Xia Wuji was really a Xiantian expert, in the end, only death awaited them!

If anyone or any force dared to obstruct the Son Of God's plan, there would only be one final outcome, and that was to be annihilated.
