"Won't killing him like this cause trouble for the master?"
Hua Chaoyan's face showed worry. She had been following Wang Shu in investigating this matter. During the investigation, she had also asked many gods, but most of them were very reluctant to talk about it, as if the other party came from a place they did not want to provoke.
"What trouble could there be? Just because of the Floating Life Wonderland? You've never even heard of that place in your life, have you?"
Xiong Cuiyue's face showed disdain.
"The attitude of those gods..."
Hana Asagao was still worried.
"They're all just a bunch of idiots. You don't even dare to mess with such trash, and you have to pretend you don't see them. You saw it just now, that bastard born of a concubine doesn't even know about the Supreme Dao."
Therefore, it's clear that neither the Floating Life Immortal Realm nor the Hibiscus City are any significant powers. This area is likely within their sphere of influence, which is why the gods here are wary of them and unwilling to tell the truth.
Xiong Cuiyue's analysis can be said to be reasonable and well-founded. The Supreme Dao is recognized as the number one Daoist sect in the Xuanmen, without any doubt or controversy.
Even though the disciples of the Supreme Dao are rarer than immortals, it does not prevent the Supreme Dao's reputation from spreading throughout the world, and anyone who mentions it will show it respect.
Those who can't even remember the name of the Supreme Daoist are only one type of cultivator: ignorant and unskilled.
The Seventh Young Master who just made a fuss probably embodies both of these traits; he's simply a useless piece of trash who can only manipulate mortals with evil magic.
"In that case, let's leave this place as soon as possible."
"Actually, there's no need to worry. This Floating Immortal Realm probably isn't even third-rate."
Speaking frankly, the three who had punished evil and vanquished demons along the way still left this place, while Wang Shu, who had witnessed that bloody scene from beginning to end, did not show much emotion.
This wasn't the first time she'd witnessed such a bloody scene. When she had previously slain demons and monsters, the way they transformed into their original forms after being beheaded was actually even more horrifying.
Even though it was her first time, she remained remarkably calm, as if she had witnessed similar scenes countless times before, and even more terrifying ones, though she couldn't recall them now. Yet, her knowledge and courage remained.
"Walking Alone to Immortality"
...
Floating Paradise, a secluded paradise rarely known to others, where thousands of mountains stand like halberds, towering peaks spread like a screen, sunlight reflecting off the misty haze, the rain clearing the dark green with a cool blue hue, withered vines entwining ancient trees, an ancient ferry crossing bordering a secluded city, rare flowers and auspicious herbs, evergreen for millennia, surpassing even the blessed land, tall bamboos and pines, never fading in all seasons, rivaling even the legendary Penglai. The calls of secluded birds are near, the springs gurgle and flow clear, deep valleys are surrounded by orchids and magnolias, and moss grows everywhere on the cliffs.
Amidst the mountains and valleys, on a flat plain, stands a majestic city, with the words "Hibiscus" prominently inscribed at its gate.
At this moment, in a warm pavilion in the city, a beautiful woman was holding a vermilion vase, admiring it with great care. Her skin was as smooth as snow, with willow-leaf eyebrows, peach blossom eyes, cherry lips, a slender waist, and a foxy oval face. She was charming and pitiful, making one feel an irresistible urge to pull her into one's arms and ravish her.
"My child!"
Suddenly, the beautiful woman seemed to sense something. Her voluptuous body, tightly outlined by a red silk dress with silver flowers, trembled slightly. The vase in her hand fell to the ground with a crisp shattering sound, and two lines of clear tears flowed from the alluring woman's eyes.
"Who killed my child?"
As tears slid down the beautiful woman's chest, a demonic aura, almost tangible, erupted from her body, and five long, blue fox tails appeared and disappeared behind her.
"Little Seven, no matter who killed you, your mother will make them pay with their life!"
As she spoke, the seductive vixen leaped out of the warm pavilion, bringing with her a gust of intoxicating warmth, and rushed into the mansion in Hibiscus City.
"Madam, the City Lord is busy with something..."
Upon seeing the demonic aura and the faintly visible snow-white fox tail within it, a scholar-looking man tried to stop the vixen, but he was met with a merciless palm strike from the fox demon.
"Get out of my way!"
A fox claw as large as a house emerged from the demon. The scholar, his face filled with fear, scrambled to the side, watching with lingering apprehension as the fox demon charged into the city lord's mansion.
"What's going on? Why is this Seventh Madam so anxious?"
The scholar stopped, frowned in thought, puzzled, but unconsciously raised his hand and began to calculate.
In his memory, Madam Hu was always well-behaved and respectful. Even when dealing with advisors like him, who were less capable, she was always polite and never arrogant. Madam Hu's eyes were truly captivating, making people's hearts flutter and unable to control themselves.
"How could there be nothing there?"
It was just a casual calculation, a divination, but this calculation gave the scholar a big fright, because there was nothing there, not even a hexagram.
This was an unprecedented outcome for him since he learned the art of divination. He was immediately filled with trepidation, as if some terrible event was about to occur.
But such an outcome would only make him a laughingstock, and even if he went to the city lord to complain, he probably wouldn't care.
"After Madam leaves, I will go to find the City Lord. I need to travel for a while!"
The scholar made up his mind that no matter what calamity he faced, he would hide first. As long as he ran far enough, no calamity could harm him.
Meanwhile, in the city lord's bedroom, the alluring fox-like woman who had just been so fierce and exuded demonic energy was now nestled in the arms of a tall, strong man with a thick beard and eyes as sharp as a lion.
"My lord, you must avenge our child!"
The Seventh Madam sat on the lap of the City Lord of Hibiscus City, nestled against his chest, her slender body as delicate as a willow swaying in the breeze. She pressed tightly against the City Lord's broad chest, tears streaming down her face, wetting half of his robe.
"He died such a tragic death!"
"Are you sure your senses aren't wrong?"
The Lord of Hibiscus City held the beautiful woman's slender waist with one arm, while his other hand roamed over her exquisite, undulating body, his thick, dark eyebrows furrowed.
He had never liked the Seventh Son, who often ran away from the fairy realm to play with mortals, but his mother was so beautiful that he couldn't bear to part with her. Otherwise, he would have kicked them out long ago to save himself from losing a great deal of prestige.
"My lord, you do not know that this is a secret technique engraved in my blood. It is absolutely impossible for it to go wrong. I just felt the pain of my poor child when he was dying."
He revealed your name to those villains, saying that his father was the city lord of Furong City. Yet they not only showed him utter contempt, but also crushed his legs into a bloody pulp! Your son is being bullied like this outside; are you really going to let this go, my lord?
The fox demon's eyes were filled with tears, making her appear even more pitiful and charming, and her every smile and frown, even when she was crying, exuded an amazing charm that aroused the desires of men.
"No matter how useless Xiao Qi is, he is still the son of this city lord. How can we just let it go like this!"
The Lord of Hibiscus City snorted coldly. He didn't like that good-for-nothing son, but he still had his blood in him. He was a troublemaker outside. If he was beaten up, even if he was crippled and died in the Floating Life Immortal Realm, he wouldn't bother to investigate. It would save him some trouble.
But if what this seventh madam said is true, that her good-for-nothing son was tortured to death after revealing his name, then this matter cannot be left like this.
"Madam, do you know who attacked Xiao Qi, and what their background is?"
"My lord, you may not know this, but my secret technique is limited. At most, I can only glimpse the scene before my blood-related offspring dies and hear a few words. I seem to have heard the Supreme Dao."
Her beautiful eyes, which seemed to ripple with the light of water, blinked gently.
"The Supreme Dao?"
The Lord of Furong City's expression froze, and even the hand that was patrolling the mountains and exploring the valleys paused slightly. Madam Hu, who was pressed tightly against him without leaving the slightest gap, could feel that the surging thing had shrunk a bit.
"My lord, do not worry. This is just the nonsense of those villains who harmed our child. How could they possibly be disciples of the Supreme Dao?"
Madam Hu cursed the man in her heart as a good-for-nothing, her spirits trembling at the mere mention of the Supreme Dao, yet a more alluring smile appeared on her face.
“Although our child has been mischievous, he has never caused any death since he was born. Even if a master from the Supreme Dao passed by, how could he take his life? At most, he would only punish him. It must be someone acting in the name of the Supreme Dao.”
"What you say makes sense, but if it really is someone from the highest echelons of society who is involved, then let's just let this matter rest!"
The Lord of Furong City was unusually calm at this moment. Face was one thing, but nothing was more important than life. Besides, it was just a good-for-nothing, dispensable heir; it wasn't worth taking such a risk.
"My husband, that's your own child! How can you be so heartless?"
Mrs. Hu's face was filled with disappointment and pain. She stood up and was about to rush out.
"If you are worried about yourself, then I will go alone to find the murderer who killed our child. After I kill the murderer, I will commit suicide so as not to implicate you, Madam!"
"Madam, what are you saying?"
As the soft, fragrant beauty left his embrace, the Lord of Hibiscus City felt a deep reluctance. Although he subconsciously felt that indulging in beauty was not good, he still grabbed the charming Seventh Madam and pulled her back into his arms.
"Xiao Qi is still my child, how could I abandon him in the future? I will go with my wife later to see who these villains are. If they are imposters from the Taishang Sect, I will definitely cut them into a thousand pieces."
"Why don't you set off with me now, my lord?"
"Madam, the arrow is on the bowstring and must be released; please undress!"
