The Murderer is Zui Fusheng
Chapter 319 The Murderer is Zui Fusheng
Jiang Man's courtyard.
"Why don't you practice Master Ji's power application first?" Ji Shoumo asked with some curiosity.
"Yes." Jiang Man nodded and said, "I need to break through first."
"Isn't it better to improve our cultivation level than to use this power?" Ji Chenfeng hesitated for a long time before saying, "Why don't we not rush to break through and instead focus on improving our power usage first?"
The other side said they needed to break through first, which they couldn't accept.
What they feared was not Jiang Man's hard work, but rather that Jiang Man would both work hard and break through.
How can everyone cultivate in peace if you break through right under everyone's noses like this?
But I can't just leave it unchecked.
Jiang Man nodded and said seriously, "Okay, then I'll hold off on breaking through for now and focus on cultivation."
Upon hearing this, the three members of the Ji family left satisfied.
They hadn't gone far when they started discussing it.
"Is he lying to us?" Ji Linglong asked.
Ji Shoumo was silent for a moment before saying, "Don't think about things that aren't relevant."
-
Jiang Man watched them leave and then began to cultivate.
Saying they wouldn't cultivate was simply to comply with the demands of their benefactor.
We can't let them feel that all the spiritual pills were wasted.
That would be so unfair to them.
But it's impossible to truly stop cultivating.
After all, the destiny of an unparalleled genius is about to catch up.
The Void-Inducing Summer Essence Pill required for cultivation.
Five thousand five hundred.
I bought some from Ji Meng at a 30% discount; these were all given to me by Ji Shoumo and the others.
Now, including his own, he has a total of one hundred pills.
Lingyuan has 300,000 left.
We're running low on Refining Divine Pills; we still need to earn Spiritual Resources.
It's the last four months, and I still don't know how to make money.
Unfortunately, Mr. Ji and Mr. Tantai's spiritual source will have to wait until next year.
I don't know if they support advance payments.
Stopping thinking about these things, Jiang Man began his cultivation.
After consuming a pill, he began to circulate the Nine Star Primordial Spirit Technique to improve his cultivation.
The second gourd was also being accumulated little by little.
Two-tenths of the time will be achieved in five days.
Ten days later, 40%
mid-October.
60%.
At this point, he had already dropped the course on the application of strength.
Unfortunately, there wasn't enough time.
But on this day, Jiang Man suddenly felt that the formation had changed once again.
The formation that was designed to cause him to suffer the backlash of his own power became increasingly severe.
The other party thought he was completely unaware and continued to increase the dosage.
"It seems we're about to make a move," Jiang Man remarked with some emotion.
He was very curious about who dared to act so boldly and recklessly.
Are you really not afraid of getting into trouble for killing someone here?
Normally, people who dare to do this are either suicide bombers or have enough confidence to escape.
Jiang Man asked the old ox which type it was.
The old ox didn't answer, but kept eating grass. But after a while, it suddenly spoke up: "Zhao Tiankuo is in trouble."
Upon hearing this, Jiang Man was taken aback.
He asked, "What happened to him? How could a demon king be bullied in the outer sect?"
Zhao Tiankuo doesn't seem like someone who's easy to bully.
Yun Qiansi was very good at using his status, and he even entered the outer sect as a genius.
He should be around the Third Academy now. If he continues to be a genius, he should be reaching the Core Formation stage by now.
They are even less likely to be bullied.
The old ox grazed on the grass, sensed for a moment, and said, "It shouldn't be this kind of thing. He seems to have been trying to send me messages, but they were all intercepted."
"And it feels like the distance is getting farther each time I send a message."
He was taken away.
"It must be someone from the demon race, otherwise they wouldn't have been able to intercept the message so precisely."
"People from the demon race?" Jiang Manyi said in surprise, "Isn't he the Demon King? How come people from the demon race are looking for him? Not only that, but they were forcibly taken away."
"By the way, didn't he say he was going to make up a story for you last time?"
"Did you make it up?"
The old ox shook his head slightly and said, "Not yet. The problem should lie in the story he tried to fabricate last time, and the person behind it."
Upon hearing this, Jiang Man suddenly remembered what Ting Fengyin had said: he could help the other party and keep them around to lure out the people behind them.
Jiang Man said helplessly, "I don't know how strong the people who took them are, or which direction they went."
"I'll give you a spell that can trace back to the past, but it requires invoking the evil god," the old ox said.
If it could avoid being taken away, it would naturally want Zhao Tiankuo to stay.
Sometimes, it's still necessary to send messages over.
While Jiang Man was studying, he suddenly noticed that the formation was showing signs of being activated.
"They've made a move? Are they planning to deal with me?" Jiang Man was somewhat surprised. "Zhao Tiankuo was taken away, and these people followed suit."
"Could they be in cahoots?"
But no matter how he thought about it, he couldn't see any connection between the two parties.
Having learned Lao Huang's little trick, Jiang Man, with Lao Huang's help, was able to trace back to the source.
"Have they left the sect yet?" Jiang Man asked.
Tracing back in this way, it still comes down to the methods of the evil god, which makes him somewhat worried.
What if we get exposed?
"They've stopped. They must have left the sect and are probably waiting for someone," the old ox said.
Jiang Man sensed his own formation and had an absurd thought.
Could the other party be waiting for the people who came to kill him to finish so they can regroup and leave?
Shaking his head, Jiang Man stepped out of the courtyard and said, "I'm going out to take a look."
He needs to see if he can keep Zhao Tiankuo. He hasn't even completed the task given by Tingfengyin yet, and if Zhao Tiankuo fails as well, he'll probably be ridiculed even more.
It makes me feel useless.
Despite receiving so many benefits, they are still failing.
This is not a suitable partner.
Especially during the daytime.
The other party is really bold, daring to make a move in broad daylight.
Not only did they capture Zhao Tiankuo, but they also wanted to kill him.
Furthermore, did the people in the Enforcement Hall not react?
Or was the person who made the move too strong?
If it's really too strong, then there's really nothing that can be done.
Not long after Jiang Man left, two people appeared in Jiang Man's courtyard.
"He's not here?" A young man frowned and said, "Damn it, of all times he has to be gone. Wasn't he supposed to be cultivating?"
Another tall, thin man said with some concern, "What do we do now? They can't wait much longer."
"It's alright, let's wait and see when they come back." The young man looked at the old ox and the trembling Tengu beside him and whispered, "If it doesn't work out, we'll kill these two beasts and leave. We'll just consider it a wasted effort."
The tall, thin man nodded.
The two then bound the old ox and the celestial dog, and then hid themselves.
As long as that person returns shortly, they will activate the magical artifact to conceal everything here.
In the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, he killed someone, left the area, rejoined the main force, and then used the Venerable One's great supernatural powers to leave quickly.
At this moment, the old ox was still eating grass.
The two men shook their heads in disbelief.
A beast is a beast; even when disaster is imminent, it's still eating.
The dog, on the other hand, was a bit smarter.
He knew he was about to die.
-
Outside the sect, in a grove of trees.
Some people were positioned in unusual ways, as if they were activating some kind of formation.
At the center of the formation, Zhao Tiankuo stared intently at Fairy Mu before him: "Who exactly are you people?"
"The Demon King is quite flexible, actually becoming the young master of a small family, mingling with a group of Foundation Establishment cultivators, and even being mocked by them." Fairy Mu shook her head and sighed, "If we didn't have a special method, we really wouldn't have imagined that the dignified Demon King could be like this."
"A special method?" Upon hearing this, Zhao Tiankuo frowned and asked, "Are you people of the Heavenly Demon?"
"Your Majesty, feel free to guess. You'll know once we return," Fairy Mu said with a slight smile. "However, it is indeed a pity that we can no longer trade with the Misty Cloud Sect. Earning spiritual resources here is indeed fast."
"Occasionally, I can even smuggle out some cultivation techniques."
"We can't use so many connections; it's all thanks to the Demon King."
“A traitor to the demon race,” Zhao Tiankuo said coldly. “No matter how strong the Heavenly Demon is, he is still a traitor. Moreover, his strength is from the past. Under the great governance of the Immortal Sect, he won’t be able to rant for long.”
Upon hearing this, Fairy Mu looked at Zhao Tiankuo and said sadly, "Demon King, you are truly foolish. Humans can progress, but demons can't?"
"In terms of innate advantages, demons are stronger than humans."
"So as long as they are willing to use their brains, the demon race will definitely be stronger than the human race."
"That was true before, and it is true now."
"The human race has already provided the answer, so why not just copy it?"
"Only conservatives like the Demon King rely solely on instinct instead of learning and progressing."
"Staying stagnant and complacent will only lead to annihilation."
"His Majesty is different from you; you are merely the kind of people abandoned by history."
"Knowing our weaknesses and mistakes, we must naturally correct them."
"The immortal sects can be greatly restored, and so can the demon race."
"There's still time."
“The Heavenly Demon is not legitimate,” Zhao Tiankuo said with a cold laugh. “He cannot become the true ruler of the demon race now.”
"That's why we need the Demon King's help," Fairy Mu said with a smile. "I've heard that the Demon King is no ordinary person either; he's managed to live all this time and even found the rightful heir of the demon race."
Zhao Tiankuo stared at them and said, "If you take me back, and I gain power, do you think any of you will still be alive?"
Fairy Mu smiled and said, "Then the Demon King will have to cooperate with His Majesty, or else we will lose our lives."
"Besides, don't waste your time; the message won't get out."
"Since we were able to find the Demon King, we naturally know how to stop his methods."
Zhao Tiankuo didn't speak, but continued to send messages to the old ox.
Jiang Man is someone valued by the Enforcement Hall. If the other party can summon people from the Enforcement Hall, he might have a chance to escape.
He never imagined that one day the demon race would come looking for him.
They could find him and forcibly take him away.
Having only just begun to recover, he had no way to resist.
At this moment, Fairy Mu looked at the sky and said, "Isn't it about time?"
"Yes." The person next to him nodded immediately.
"Logically, it should be over by now. They should be out in another incense stick's time. If you don't see them after that, just leave," said Fairy Mu.
The others nodded in agreement.
Zhao Tiankuo wondered, what else did these people want to do?
When he asked, the other party simply said that they would complete a collaboration while they were at it.
"What kind of cooperation? Can you tell me about it?" A voice suddenly rang in Mu Xianzi's ears.
An unfamiliar voice, an abrupt direction.
She immediately turned her head.
However, what came head-on was a huge fist.
boom!
Fairy Mu struck out with her palm, which collided with the fist.
Click!
boom!
Her palms twisted, and the magical artifacts on her body shattered.
He was knocked back.
Only then did everyone realize that a figure had appeared in the middle of the formation at some unknown time.
His mere presence exuded an inexplicable sense of oppression.
In addition, he emanated a faint light.
Although not bright, it was exceptionally dazzling.
"Who is it?" Fairy Mu asked, somewhat shocked.
She hadn't noticed anything approaching.
At this moment, she activated the formation, and just as the other party was about to speak, she took a step forward: "Attack, kill him."
The formation lit up, and everyone began to attack.
Jiang Man felt the power around him and his brows furrowed slightly.
They can fight, but they're not easy to fight.
The reason it suddenly appeared here is because of this formation.
If we don't stand here, we can't prevent the formation from activating.
He wasn't sure what kind of formation it was, but it was somewhat similar to Mu Kong's methods.
It's probably a spatial formation.
If we don't stop it, something bad will happen.
At this moment, the surrounding energy burst forth, and a powerful force swept across the area.
Several figures launched a magical attack from different positions, blocking all escape routes.
In an instant, the sword light flashed like a bolt of lightning, and the blade energy surged, accompanied by the howling sound of wind and thunder.
The moment the magical power appeared, a flash of cold light arrived in front of Jiang Man.
The sword strikes like a dragon, carrying the force of cleaving through the air.
Jiang Man dodged to the side, and facing the blade of the thunderous sword, he gently flicked out a finger.
Click!
The thunder shattered.
Clang!
With a bang, cracks appeared on the sword.
It shattered instantly.
In the instant the other person was stunned, Jiang Man's hand was already on her neck.
Crushed it violently.
With a thud, blood splattered.
The attack from behind arrived instantly; Jiang Man's figure was like a ghost, leaving behind many afterimages.
In an instant, they arrived behind the person behind them.
He threw a punch.
boom!
The moment the other person turned around, he was face-to-face with a fist.
boom!
It was blasted to pieces.
At this moment, the surrounding spells fell, and Jiang Man suppressed them with his fists.
He then made a swift move, his entire body appearing as countless afterimages in front of everyone.
When he passed through most of the people and arrived in front of Fairy Mu, he unleashed a palm strike. The moment the power exploded, everyone behind him collapsed to the ground with a loud bang, their fate unknown.
Fairy Mu shouted angrily, "Who exactly are you, and what is your purpose? We have no grudge against you."
As she spoke, she took a step forward, and the force roared, deafeningly loud.
She was incredibly fast, constantly swinging her sword.
They appeared around Jiang Man, attacking from different directions each time.
However, they were all blocked by Jiang Man, who was standing still.
As his strength gathered and his spirit was tempered, the power that Tingfengyin spoke of began to condense and manifest within him.
The more Mu Xianzi fought, the more terrified she became, because she saw with her own eyes that someone she could fight against seemed to have grown taller.
It is like a huge mountain, impossible to climb over or defeat.
But she never gave up.
He wanted to unleash his strongest sword strike to severely injure it.
Just as she gathered her power, the opponent's aura suddenly changed.
The surrounding sky seemed to be pressed down by endless mountains.
Supernatural powers, suppressing the three mountains.
boom!
The immense power crushed Mu Xianzi's magic, spirit sword, and primordial spirit.
It was as if the sky had fallen.
With a bang.
Fairy Mu landed heavily in the center of the formation.
At this moment, the formation began to activate.
The corpses that had fallen onto the formation were disappearing little by little.
"Who...who are you?" As she lay dying, Fairy Mu looked at the insurmountable voice and spoke with difficulty.
Jiang Man looked down at her and said, "It was Zui Fusheng who killed you."
In an instant, the formation enveloped everyone, and they vanished from their spot.
On the other side, at the rendezvous point for the demon race.
A powerful demon immediately arrived in front of the formation, excitedly exclaiming, "It's a success?"
Then the light fell, and corpses and drops of blood filled the entire formation.
In an instant, everyone's pupils contracted.
At this moment, Fairy Mu was also teleported back.
"Fairy Mu, what happened?" A man immediately came to her side and asked.
But they discovered that her spirit had been shattered, and there was no way to save her.
Upon seeing people, Fairy Mu, panting, spoke with difficulty:
"The murderer was Zui Fusheng!"
