Chapter 125 Capture Alive

"Why is there only so little?"

Wang Wu, who seemed easy to talk to, immediately flew into a rage after receiving the results of the past year.

"You two good-for-nothings! You only have a few spirit herbs? If it weren't for this four-pound spirit iron, which wouldn't even fetch three hundred spirit stones, would I have been training you for nothing?"

The two boys hung their heads, trembling, and dared not offer any words of explanation.

The insults traveled far, even reaching Wang Yu, who had just entered the palace, demonstrating the extent of the abuses inflicted.

He continued to approach, stopping beneath the window frame. He activated his Yin Eyes, peering through the wall, and saw Wang Wu's soul fire bloom in his eyes.

The Xuan Yuan Demon Embryo, which had been dormant within the body and was mostly formed, suddenly emitted a desire to devour, as if guided by instinct.

The demonic secret technique is indeed peculiar, but now is not the time to devour Wang Wu. After suppressing this feeling...

Wang Yu looked around, especially at the guest rooms of the palace.

After checking them one by one, they found no trace of other cultivators and felt relieved.

Chance!

"Boom—"

Before anyone could explain what had happened, Wang Wu, who was extremely unguarded, was about to teach these two useless nephews and nieces a lesson when the walls of the house suddenly collapsed.

A figure shrouded in eerie black smoke suddenly rushed in, its deep, tranquil eyes fixed on him.

Wang Wu was stunned for a moment, completely unaware of the situation.

"No...who are you?"

The next moment.

A long, strong, and muscular arm suddenly grabbed his neck. Feeling the coldness on his neck, he began to panic: "This...this...fellow Daoist."

"Oh--

"Wang Wu, you really are a disappointment."

Wang Yu's deep voice had a hoarse quality.

In the demonic path, at the very least, a magical artifact would have been used in this situation. But Wang Wu's response was like that of a lamb to the slaughter.

There was no resistance, only weak and childish words.

Thinking about it, it makes sense; Wang Wu's life experience is different from his.

He was born into wealth and privilege, and was spoiled from a young age, becoming arrogant and domineering, bullying men and women and committing all sorts of evil deeds. As he grew older, he became even more lawless.

Ever since the results of the spirit divination were revealed, his sense of superiority as a "superior person" was completely solidified, and in the following ten years of his life, he murdered his parents, sold his sister, and slaughtered his clan.

You should be able to guess he's a demonic cultivator just by looking at his appearance.

But because of the "peaceful" deal in the past, not to mention the lack of combat experience, Wang Wu even thought that this demonic cultivator, who was clearly malicious, was a fellow practitioner.

Trying to figure out what happened using words.

How ridiculous, how childish!

Does he deserve to be considered an enemy?!

Enraged, Wang Yu lifted him up and slammed him into the ground.

As the flying debris caused Wang Wu to feel a bit dizzy, he heard the whistling wind in his ears. He stared wide-eyed as a black, armored hand fiercely attacked.

With a smack, it landed on his face.

The sky darkened!

Completely unaware of what had happened, he fell into a deep coma.

Wang Yu's gaze fell on the two Wang family juniors kneeling on the ground, and he sighed slightly in his heart, thinking it was a pity for these two.

If I hadn't been forced to grow too fast, I would at least have been able to step into the world of cultivation. Not to mention the distant future, reaching the mid-stage of Qi Refining in this lifetime shouldn't be a problem.

What a pity.

"senior……"

The two third-generation youths of the Prince's Mansion swallowed hard, feeling that their chances of survival were slim, and tried to plead for mercy.

Wang Yu shook his head.

"You've gone down the wrong path. This level of cultivation is not meant for you. Consider cultivating again after you turn sixteen."

He finished speaking.

He formed a sword with his fingers, spiritual energy swirling around his fingertips, and precisely struck the dantian of the two Qi Refining Stage 1 youths. Wang Yu's icy power penetrated their bodies.

He directly crippled their already weak cultivation levels. As for their lives, Wang Yu didn't kill them, but instead used methods to extract their memories.

The key to this night raid was Wang Wu.

The goal is to achieve both speed and to settle old scores. It has nothing to do with others. Once the objective is achieved, there is no need to commit further killings. Let's stop here.

As for the Wang family, Wang Yu's mother died in childbirth and his father died on his sickbed, so they were no longer of much concern to him. He had never had much affection for his uncles and aunts.

I might go to Qianqiu City in the future to visit my aunt.

But that's about it.

"Everyone says that worldly ties are hard to sever, so why are my worldly ties so fragile..."

A lonely night.

Only the howling north wind lingered, and under the moonlight, Wang Yu, carrying a dark figure on his shoulder, sped off in the direction he had planned long ago.

This journey is one of no return, yet I have no regrets.

…………

at the same time.

Thousands of miles away from Shihu City lies a mountain city called Dingshan City. It is situated on a second-tier high-grade spiritual vein, with the entire mountain located in the center of the vein.

Dingshan City is the territory of the Tianxu Sword Sect.

At this moment, a woman dressed in a white gauze dress and carrying a moon-white longsword is sitting cross-legged in a pavilion on the side of the mountain peak.

A white hawk flew in from afar and landed spontaneously in front of the woman, its yellow talons clutching seven or eight jade slips strung together.

The above records recent intelligence centered on Dingshan City and radiating to thirty-six nearby cities. This is one of the intelligence systems that the Sword Sect relies on.

How could someone who goes out to eliminate demons and protect the righteous path be without intelligence?

As she read each jade slip with her divine sense, the woman in the white dress frowned more and more deeply, her anger naturally gathering and poised to erupt.

"Black Mountain Pass, Black Mountain Demon Land... suspected of colluding with the demonic path, selling spirit slaves... smuggling contraband."

"Shihu City, Qianqiu City, Lingxi City... Yangquan City..."

There are many, but that's not the most troublesome part.

Upon seeing a certain word on the jade slip, the woman's pupils suddenly contracted. Without saying a word, she used the communication secret technique taught by the [Righteous Qi Academy] to send the message to the nearest sect elder.

"want……"

A gentle breeze blew by, and when we looked at the pavilion on the cliff, it was deserted. Only the moonlit sword light streaked across the distant horizon.

Judging from the direction she was heading, it was clearly Shihu City.

This place shouldn't have been the epicenter of the storm, but Wang Yu's unexpected intrusion, which triggered the battle three months ago, caused quite a stir.

Especially that time in the city.

It's normal that this alerted the Heavenly Void Sword Sect's intelligence system.

Even without Wang Yu's intrusion, it was only a matter of time before they were discovered. Their control over this land was too deep, especially over the various cities.

Even if the matter of spirit slaves is used to cover it up, sooner or later the strange phenomenon of a group of eligible women disappearing from the city every year will be discovered.

Shihu City, City Lord's Mansion.

The new city lord, Yuan Qu, was hurrying towards his residence. Only after entering the range of the hidden formation did he secretly breathe a sigh of relief.

His brows betrayed a deep unease.

My third uncle has disappeared!

The old city lord's secluded bamboo house showed no signs of battle, indicating that he was either killed by a cultivator far more powerful than himself, or he secretly slipped away without notifying anyone.
