Supreme Demon God

Chapter 76: Menacing

The Mountain and River Medical Center's main residence was destroyed, and what was left was only the branches in various parts of the Yan Kingdom and the surrounding countries. Although there were certain forces, it was no longer a concern.

News of the death of Mu Yannian, the owner of the Mountain and River Medical Center, soon spread, and the Yan Kingdom was in shock.

Although there was no evidence that Mu Yannian's death was related to Mo Xiu, anyone with a discerning eye knew what happened.

Before, Mo Xiu killed Mu Qingqing and destroyed a stronghold of the Blood Moon Pavilion, so much so that both Mountain and River Medical Hall and Blood Moon Pavilion wanted to kill Mo Xiu and destroy the Rainbow Chamber of Commerce.

Almost everyone thought Mo Xiu was over, and Rainbow Chamber of Commerce was over. Unexpectedly, within one day, all the Blood Moon Pavilions were uprooted and wiped out. Even the Mountain and River Medical Center was destroyed, and the owner Mu Yannian died. This reversal came too soon.

Many people began to re-examine Mo Xiu. Before, everyone wanted to curry favor with Mo Xiu, but they were afraid of offending Mu Yannian, so they didn't dare to visit Mo Xiu. Now that Mu Yannian died, everyone's thoughts of visiting became lively.

As a result, the entire Five Carapace District was full of traffic, and the entire Su Family's mansion was very busy.

Regarding the people who came to visit, Mo Xiu didn't meet any of them, but he didn't let those people go back, just let Yan Ran come forward and take care of the reception.

It was most appropriate for Yan Ran to come forward as there might be places where Yan Ran could use these people in the future.

When Yan Ran received a group of visitors, Mo Xiu retreated in the room to practice.

His cultivation base had been on the 9th level of the Foundation Building Realm for some time. After this period of polishing, his foundation had become extremely stable, so it was almost time to break through to the Core Formation Realm.

Closing eyes and meditating, running Universe's Origin Heavenly Art, the Spiritual Energy of the entire Yan Capital was gathered, absorbed by Mo Xiu, and transformed into invisible True Energy, which was stored in his Dantian.

The cultivators everywhere in Yan Capital naturally felt the changes in the Spiritual Energy of Heaven and Earth immediately, but they couldn't see the direction of the Spiritual Energy, so although there were a lot of discussions, no one thought about Mo Xiu.

Those who came to visit Su' mansion felt that something was wrong, but they didn't think so much. After all, this kind of cultivation technique that would gather all the Spiritual Energy around was too overbearing and mythical, so let alone saw it, they never even heard of it.

Although there were many Spirit Vessel Realm cultivators in Yan Capital, in terms of the richness of Spiritual Energy, they were actually far inferior to Sun Martial City.

This was easy to understand because the population of Yan Capital was more than ten times larger than that of Sun Martial City, and the number of cultivators was naturally not comparable to Sun Martial City.

Originally, the concentration of Spiritual Energy should be about the same, but there were more people in Yan Capital who absorbed Spiritual energy, so the concentration of Spiritual Energy in Yan Capital had become lower so that it was not as good as Sun Martial City.

Having said that, Mo Xiu didn't need much Spiritual Energy in his current cultivation, even if the concentration of Spiritual Energy in Yan Capital was slightly lower than that of Sun Martial City, it was enough for him.

"Boom"

With a bang in his body, Mo Xiu's cultivation was raised from the 9th level of the Foundation Building Realm to the 1st level of the Core Formation Realm.

Energy could be divided into "Acquired" and "Innate". Most people breathed "Acquired Energy", but after a cultivator's cultivation level was upgraded to the Core Formation Realm, what he inhaled was still "Acquired Energy", and what he exhaled became "Innate Energy".

Innate Energy was more powerful, as long as people controlled it properly, they could maintain their appearances and prolong their lives.

Of course, that was all, after all, the Core Formation Realm cultivator had not yet stepped into the threshold of cultivation, even if he was the 9th level Core Formation cultivator, he still belonged to the category of mortal, even if the Innate Energy could prolong life, the life expectancy could not be long.

Only by breaking through to the Spirit Vessel Realm, stepping into the threshold of cultivation, and becoming stronger, could the lifespan be greatly improved, and it could be regarded as transcending the category of a mortal.

After breaking through to the 1st level, Mo Xiu did not stop practicing but continued to run Universe's Origin Heavenly Art, continuing to absorb the Spiritual Energy around him.

2nd level Core Formation Realm, 3rd level Core Formation Realm, 4th level Core Formation Realm...

When his cultivation reached the 9th level of Core Formation Realm, Mo Xiu stopped his cultivation and consolidated instead.

Originally, Mo Xiu's cultivation base was only on the 9th level of the Foundation Building Realm. When facing the Early-stage Spirit Vessel Realm cultivator, he could easily kill the other party, but it was not so easy when facing the Middle-stage Spirit Vessel Realm cultivator.

Just like the last time he faced Yan Wuhen, if the Soul Devouring Knives hadn't played a role, he might have to spend a lot of effort to kill Yan Wuhen.

Now that his cultivation base had been upgraded to the peak level of the Core Formation Realm, even without using the Soul Devouring Knife, Mo Xiu could still easily kill any Middle-stage Spirit Vessel Realm cultivator.

...

During the two days of Mo Xiu cultivating in seclusion, the outside situation had changed a lot.

It was true that countless people came to visit Mo Xiu, wanting to curry favor with Mo Xiu, but strangely, there was no foreign vehicle in the entire Five Carapace District.

The Rainbow Chamber of Commerce had also suffered a near-fatal blow. The major cooperative shops had come to return the goods one after another. Some forces that had good relations with the Rainbow Chamber of Commerce had severed relations with the Rainbow Chamber of Commerce.

Those forces that were not friendly with the Rainbow Chamber of Commerce joined forces to fight the Rainbow Chamber of Commerce.

To make matters worse, the Yan Kingdom's City Court also took action.

The dignitaries in the capital were not likely to personally end up fighting against the Rainbow Chamber of Commerce, but the Yan Capital's royal guards came forward and sealed up many shops directly belonging to the Rainbow Chamber of Commerce, and also let the trucks of the Rainbow Chamber of Commerce in and out of Yan Capital be seized.

In the entire Yan Capital, it was as if all the forces were targeting the Rainbow Chamber of Commerce.

Su Family's Mansion.

Yan Ran and Su Qianqian discussed the current situation.

The two didn't know what was going on but vaguely felt that someone was deliberately pushing behind them, and that person's real goal should be Mo Xiu.

"The Blood Moon Pavilion has been uprooted, and the Mountain and River Medical Center is almost destroyed, so the man behind all this is the real enemy of you and Young Master Wuji, isn't it?" Su Qianqian asked tentatively.

"The real enemy?" Yan Ran frowned slightly.

Su Qianqian: "Young Master Wuji said before that he came to Yan Capital just to see and kill a few people by the way, so I wonder if he used to target the Blood Moon Pavilion and Mountain and River Medical Center repeatedly to make his enemies see through his true identity, so he pushed Yan Capital's countless forces to deal with him?"

Although Yan Ran did not have a very comprehensive and thorough understanding of Mo Xiu, she knew that one of Mo Xiu's purposes in Yan Capital was to avenge her.

Her enemy was the current emperor Yan Wuji, so the person Mo Xiu wanted to kill should be Yan Wuji.

However, she didn't think that Yan Wuji would do it this time. After all, Yan Wuji was the emperor of the Yan Kingdom, so he could kill him in a fair manner, and there was no need to secretly engage in such small actions.

She shook her head and was about to say something when she suddenly saw Su Qianqian's confidant maid, Luo Er, coming in in a hurry, "Miss, not good!"

"What's the panic?" Su Qianqian glanced at Luo Er.

Luo Er nodded to Yan Ran as a greeting, and then said, "We are surrounded by countless people in the Five Carapace District. Now, it seems that getting in and out of the Five Carapace District is a problem."

"Be surrounded? Who did it?" Su Qianqian asked quickly.

"I don't know too well, but many large and small forces in Yan Capital have been dispatched. I also saw people from the City Court, and it was Duke Cao who brought them here," Luo Er replied.

The City Court, an institution in charge of various affairs in Yan Capital, was a bit like the city lord's mansion.

At present, the person in charge of the City Court was Cao Yang, and his official position was the capital governor, so many people called him Governor Cao or Duke Cao.

Although the City Court seemed to be similar to the City Lord's Mansions in various places, the governor was an official at the level of a provincial lord in each province, and even higher than the provincial lord in terms of status, and belonged to the emperor's true confidant.

The City Court was in charge of various affairs in Yan Capital, but the governor Cao Yang seldom came forward in person. Now, not only was the Five Carapace District surrounded by people from all forces in Yan Capital, but the governor of the capital Cao Yang also personally brought people here, which showed the seriousness of the problem. 

Su Qianqian and Yan Ran looked at each other and were about to go out to have a look. But before they could do that, they heard a "bang", the door of Su Mansion was kicked open, and many people in official costumes rushed in. The man in the lead was Cao Yang, the current governor of the capital.

The warriors in Su's mansion reacted very quickly and rushed out from various places, but they didn't immediately fight with Cao Yang and others, but confronted Cao Yang and others.

Cao Yang looked around, his gaze finally fell on Su Qianqian, and he said, "Miss Su, this governor has no intention of being an enemy of the Su Family, so please hand over Lin Wuji."

"Duke Cao, dare to ask what the Elder Wuji has committed to the point that it needs to trouble you to come forward?" Su Qianqian looked at Cao Yang and asked in a humble manner.

"What did he commit? Good question!"

Cao Yang clapped his hands and immediately said, "Not long ago, King Jing died suddenly in his mansion. The well water in the area where the Mountain and River Medical Center was poisoned. Countless people died tragically. Even the owner of the Mountain and River Medical Center was also killed. This governor found that everything was related to Lin Wuji of your Rainbow Chamber of Commerce, so I deliberately brought people to arrest the criminal Lin Wuji."

"You want to arrest Lin Wuji?" Su Qianqian shook her head, "Duke Cao, you must pay attention to the evidence in everything. You can't say who you find is related to who is the criminal. Even if you want to capture Elder Wuji, you must at least give us an explanation, is that right?"

"Of course there is evidence, and this governor is not a person who likes to plant and blame, but in order to prevent him from killing others, it is not time to show evidence. But we will interrogate Lin Wuji in the future, by then, we will naturally announce the evidence to the people of the world," Yang said seriously.

Su Qian frowned slightly, "In that case, I am sorry. It is difficult for us to hand over Elder Wuji to Governor Cao."

Upon hearing this, Cao Yang's face became gloomy, "You don't want to hand him over? Why? Are you still planning to fight against this governor and the entire City Court?"

As soon as his voice fell, a voice rang after, "So what?"

A figure came slowly; it was Mo Xiu who came out of seclusion.
