A young man walked in. He had delicate features and was dressed in fine clothes, but he didn't look superior at all.
As soon as the man walked in, he knelt on the ground, kowtowed three times to Su Miao, and said, "Su Mu from the Su family greets my aunt."
"Pfft——" Chong Ting couldn't help laughing out loud. Even though she had heard about this, she still wanted to laugh.
The man followed up with, "I'm here to hear your greetings."
Now Chong Ting couldn't laugh anymore. She was only three hundred years old. In the spiritual world, she was at most a senior uncle. When she came to the lower world, she was directly promoted to a higher generation.
Although Su Miao didn't know Su Mu, she had heard Chong Ting mention this person, so she nodded slightly: "Get up, the Su family has something to ask me?"
Not long after she arrived in Mutian City, the Su family came looking for her. No one believed her when she said she had no purpose.
Su Mu's expression froze. What surprised him more than the fact that this young lady was so young was that she was so straightforward.
However, the person in front of him was indeed his aunt, and as a junior, he couldn't remind her, so he could only say: "The emperor heard that the aunt had returned and asked you to come to the palace."
Su Mu had no idea about this matter. It was no secret in Mutian City that the Su family had an elder who had a destiny with immortality. The Su family did not rely on that elder for personal gain and never denied these rumors to the outside world.
But somehow, the person in the palace heard about this and has been asking about this young lady for half a month. The Su family didn't dare to hide it from the emperor, so they had to tell him everything they knew.
Su Miao glanced at Chong Ting opposite him, and the other party nodded. The two of them had a tacit understanding and knew that the person they were waiting for had arrived.
She said, "You go down first, I will come down soon."
Su Mu was so frightened that his calves were shaking. He quickly replied, "Yes, then my grandson will leave first."
Looking at the figure hurriedly leaving, Chong Ting laughed out loud: "It seems that the Su family is quite honest this time."
Su Miao really didn't know where she saw the word honesty, but she didn't refute it. After all, the Mu Tiancheng Su family was her mother's family.
Chong Ting raised his head and suddenly said, "Miao Su, I remembered something. The Su sisters are indeed in Mutian City. Their current status is not low. One is the prince's concubine, and the other is the emperor's concubine. Who do you think is behind this?"
Su Miao glared at her: "You should go ask your senior disciple."
Zhuang Yu did not show up even though his biological father was trapped in North City.
The eldest disciple? Chong Ting didn't take it seriously. She accepted this person because she listened to the other person's advice.
The two men walked out of the room one after the other and got into the sedan chair they had been waiting for for a long time.
The sound of horse hooves clattered as Su Miao set up a barrier. "Have you made arrangements for Lu Qun and Fu An?"
These two people arrived in Mutian City five days ago.
Su Miao didn't know what they were sent to do, but when she suddenly thought of it, she couldn't help but ask.
"Don't worry, I've already made arrangements." Chong Ting held up his face and said, "Miao Su, you've changed so much since you regained your memory? You even care about people who have nothing to do with you. Wow, you really surprised me."
Su Miao: "...I think it's okay for you to go to the palace alone."
Defeated, Chong Ting hurriedly said, "How could that be? This is a Hongmen Banquet specially prepared for you." She placed great emphasis on the word "Hongmen Banquet." After a moment's thought, Chong Ting laughed, "Tell me, those people aren't aware of your strength, are they?"
Even if the spiritual world is declining, it can't be counted on to the cultivators. Moreover, the Northern Cold Immortal Venerable is not an ordinary cultivator.
Compared to the Hongmen Banquet, it seems more like they are asking for their own death.
Su Miao closed his eyes and rested aside, saying lightly: "There will always be smart people in the royal family."
As for who succeeded in picking up the leak, that was none of her business. If they hadn't taken the initiative to provoke her, she could have let them go.
The carriage passed the palace gate and pulled into the side. Chong Ting lifted a corner of the curtain and looked out, just in time to see the two large characters "Eastern Palace".
The carriage stopped, and a shrill voice sounded outside: "Please get off the carriage, my two distinguished guests."
Listening to the voice coming into the barrier, Su Miao opened his eyes and a smile appeared on the corner of his lips: "Donggong?"
Chong Ting smiled and said, "Yes, the Eastern Palace. It seems that the old emperor has really been sidelined. However, the crown prince has stepped into the shoes of the emperor, so it seems that he won't be able to hold this position for long."
Su Miao raised his hand to remove the barrier and walked outside.
Even though there was no movement inside the carriage, the chief eunuch showed no sign of impatience. He stood quietly by, waiting. He lifted the carriage curtain with one hand and hurriedly stepped forward, bowing and saying, "Your Highness is overjoyed to learn that the Immortal Master has arrived in the Imperial City. He is currently waiting for you in the hall. Please proceed."
When Chong Ting got off the car, the chief eunuch was stunned for a moment, then said, "Master, please come in. His Highness is also waiting for you in the hall."
She was really well prepared. Leaning against Su Miao, she pretended to smile hypocritically, "Excuse me, I am bothering you."
Following behind the chief eunuch, Chong Ting couldn't help but set up a barrier and complained: "How come you are the Immortal Venerable and I am the Sect Master?"
Su Miao pushed her further away: "Because your good disciple revealed your identity, if you are really angry, go find him."
"How could that be? Don't worry, I remember our purpose." Chong Ting smiled awkwardly and stopped talking.
They came to Mutian City just to catch the real owner of the Beast House. Su Daozhi was only the nominal owner. The Beast House was involved in many things and was far from being as simple as it seemed.
When they arrived at the hall, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was sitting upstairs, holding someone in his arms. When he saw the two people coming, he turned sideways and looked at them with empty eyes.
His gaze became increasingly direct, and Su Miao couldn't help but tighten her grip on her sword. Chong Ting saw this and hurriedly stepped forward, "What does Your Highness the Crown Prince want from us?"
The prince came back to his senses, his eyes still fixed on the two of them. He coughed lightly and let go of the woman in his arms. "Two immortals, please take a seat. I invited you here because I have something I want to ask you two."
In the end, out of consideration for Su Miao's identity, the prince reluctantly withdrew his gaze.
The head eunuch came out and said, "You two immortals, you may not know that there have been frequent attacks of monsters and beasts in the imperial city recently. Your Highness is really worried about the people and would like to ask you two immortals to handle this matter."
worry?
There were delicious food and fine wine in front of the prince, and a beautiful concubine in his arms.
Noticing the impatient expressions of those around him, Chongting smiled and replied, "This isn't difficult. Your Highness, leave it to us. Unfortunately, my disciple is searching for us in the city, so we'll have to leave first."
It was polite but not much. If it wasn't for the purpose of arresting someone, Chong Ting would have wanted to throw away his life fire.
The prince looked regretful and had to let the eunuch send them away.
After the servants left, the concubine pulled off the gauze on her clothes, and after a few creaking sounds, she turned into a man. Her clothes were torn to shreds, and a layer of black fur grew on her body.
The prince stood up and said respectfully, even a little flatteringly: "Sir, they have taken the bait."
"Is this Zhuang Yu? How did he become like this?" Chong Ting was surprised.
They walked out of the palace, let the puppet follow the eunuch out, and then entered the palace again in stealth.
She originally thought that the eldest disciple was just worse than others, but now it seems that he has clearly been possessed by a demon!
There is a strong demonic aura on Zhuang Yu, which is the backlash brought about by devouring the power of the monster.
Su Miao: "Let's go, there's nothing to see here."
There is no need to investigate Wanshoufang anymore.
Although Chongting felt a little unwilling, he still followed.
Zhuang Yu kicked the prince away and turned to sit on it. "Waste! I need more energy. Go and refine those people! Don't forget how you got the position of prince!"
A trace of hatred flashed in the prince's eyes, and he stood up: "Yes, yes, my lord, don't worry, I will never forget your kindness."
Zhuang Yu was finally satisfied: "By the way, how is the woman I gave you?"
He kidnapped the Su sisters intending to use them to threaten Su Miao, but unexpectedly they were useless!
Speaking of Su Min'er, the prince said bitterly, "That stinky woman ran away! She also let a new batch of goods escape. Will she go to them for help?"
The prince felt vaguely uneasy. He had long begun to regret his cooperation with the monster for the throne, but now that things had come to this, he had no other choice.
Zhuang Yu disagreed: "She won't do that. Let the guards search the whole city, they will find her."
"...Yes, don't worry, sir."
After returning from the palace, Chong Ting couldn't help but ask, "Did you know that Zhuang Yu was attacked by the monster? When did you know?"
She had been monitoring the Hehuan Sect for many years and had not found anything unusual. Now that she saw it with her own eyes, Chong Ting had no choice but to believe what Su Miao said to her.
"...It's its usual method." Su Miao's voice was cold. "It always wants to wipe out those beyond its control. Hundreds of years ago, the demons did this, and hundreds of years later, it wants to use the same method to eliminate the spiritual world."
Chong Ting felt a chill in his heart. The Phoenix Clan was once a member of the Demon Clan. For the sake of their descendants, the four great beasts used themselves as a curse to separate the descendants of monsters from the Demon Clan, thus saving themselves from death.
Even so, the monster clan suffered heavy casualties.
She decided to follow Su Miao's advice: "Zhuang Yu is fine, but what about the Su sisters?"
These two people did not have the aura of monsters. They were not good people, but they were not extremely evil either.
Unexpectedly, Su Miao lowered his head and smiled: "Listen, they are smarter than you think. If they survive, you won't have to avenge me anymore."
She really didn't want to let the Su family go, but now she is willing to give these two a chance.
There are fewer and fewer newcomers in the spiritual world. These two are ambitious, and she hopes they can put aside the past and start anew.
The capture of Zhuang Yu went particularly smoothly. He was attacked by the monster and had to keep feeding on it.
Fu An, under the identity of Phoenix, strolled around the city with Lu Qun, and it was hard not to attract attention.
No matter how cautious he was, Zhuang Yu would still take the risk. After all, he hated the Phoenix Clan the most.
Standing on the former senior disciple and leaning on the younger disciple's shoulder, Mitsuru tilted his head and asked the former senior disciple in confusion: "You are quite talented, why do you have to choose a different path?"
Zhuang Yu glared at Su Miao beside her with hatred, realizing that Fu Chen was about to wake up. She was holding a white phoenix in her arms.
Feeling a burning gaze, she looked up and said, "Zhuang Yu, you are not suitable for the path of cultivation. Is that what you said?"
Later, Su Miao thought about it for a long time, and studied Zhuang Yu carefully with Chong Ting, and finally discovered a point he had never noticed before - this person was vindictive and particularly grudge-bearing.
Zhuang Yu threw himself into the water, not even struggling: "Today, I was almost defeated by the Immortal Master, but one day, you will understand how I feel! Su Miao, you will be deserted by everyone! Hahaha!"
Putting down the phoenix in her arms, Su Miao gestured for Chong Ting to step back. She approached Zhuang Yu and whispered something.
Zhuang Yu stared at her in disbelief: "How could you possibly know? Impossible! Impossible!"
Even in death, his eyes were still wide open, almost about to burst out.
The fire of Nirvana was thrown out from Su Miao's hand, burning the bodies of Zhuang Yu, the prince and others to ashes.
Gazing at the dancing flames, none of the people present felt a trace of joy. To them, this was merely the beginning of a story.
They have only touched the tip of the iceberg, and as for what lies beneath the surface, they still don't know. But one thing is clear: if evil is done, someone will always come to extinguish the consequences.
Su Miner walked out timidly, her exposed hands and face were covered with scars, and some flesh was even peeled off, revealing the pink color inside, with some bloodstains.
