Chapter 144: Stirring the Wind and Cloud!
The news of Yan Chunlou quickly spread throughout the Imperial City.
There were too many witnesses!
Moreover, most of them were high officials and dignitaries, so it was difficult to completely seal their mouths.
The death of the two executioners shocked everyone in the Demon Suppression Bureau. Everyone became vigilant.
Yuan Qinhu and the middle-lower level monster slayers were happy to learn of Cao Bin’s death, but they were also worried about their own situation.
If the skeleton demon had targeted them, they would not have survived either!
Ghosts of this level were too terrifying!
..
The next day after the incident, the Demon Suppression Bureau took action.
The Demon Slayers who had no tasks at hand were all sent out to search for the murderer of Cao Bin and Shang Hua.
Su Mu was naturally no exception.
After receiving this mission, his expression was a little strange.
Am I grabbing myself?
The other three people in the same group had even more complicated feelings than him, and they were also deeply worried.
Mengyao sighed,
“Cao Bin and Shang Hua are both Xiantian Realm warriors. Although their bodies have been emptied by wine and sex, they still have some combat strength left.”
“That ghost easily killed the two of them in an instant. Its strength is very terrifying. It’s not something we can deal with!”
“This mission is suicide!”
Yuan Qinhu frowned and said worriedly,”
“You’re right!”
“That ghost is one of the most ferocious types of skeleton demons. It is called the Blood Fiend Skeleton!”
“The one that appeared in Yanchun Brothel has at least the combat strength of an early-stage Zongshi realm expert.”
“Ghosts have all kinds of strange methods and are far more difficult to deal with than ordinary martial artists.”
“If you’re not careful, even existences stronger than it will fail miserably!”
“If we Demon Slayers of the Human Rank were to search for it, wouldn’t we die if we really found it?”
At this point, the two of them looked a little depressed.
The old drunkard consoled,”
“Don’t think that the situation is so bad.”
“That Blood Evil Skeleton is very likely to be one of that person’s subordinates. With our ability and ability, how can we find it? It’s just for show.”
Mengyao and Yuan Qinhu were speechless.
If the Blood-killing Skeleton was really a demon under the Imperial Advisor, then the situation would be even worse!
Perhaps the Demon Suppression Division and the Imperial Preceptor would fight one day. If that happened, who knew how many people would die!
How could an old drunkard comfort someone like this?
The old drunkard seemed to have realized that his words were a little off, and after laughing out loud, he patted Su Mu beside him and said:
“Don’t panic, don’t we still have a Qi Practitioner here?”
“Look at how calm Su Mu’s expression is. How can you be worse than a newbie?”
“If we really encounter that Blood Fiend Skeleton, we’ll work together. With Su Mu’s help, we’ll definitely be able to escape.”
“Don’t you agree?”
As he spoke, the old drunkard looked over at Su Mu and winked at him like an old child.
Hearing this, Yuan Qinhu and Mengyao recalled the powerful magical ability that Su Mu had used in Yuntai Town. They couldn’t help but look at Su Mu with hopeful expressions.
They didn’t know much about Qi Practitioners, so they didn’t know that Su Mu was still far from being able to subdue a Grandmaster level demon.
But at this moment, he could only place his hopes on Su Mu.
Under the gazes of the three people, Su Mu pursed his lips and said with a serious face:
“Everyone, don’t worry. If we really encounter that skeleton demon, we’ll definitely be able to escape safely if we work together.”
“Some of my Dao techniques have a certain degree of restraining ability against demons and ghosts.”
Su Mu’s words made everyone feel much better.
The recent series of events had made the atmosphere in the Demon Suppression Bureau extremely oppressive.
It felt like a storm was brewing!
“With your words, I can rest assured. Tomorrow, I’ll invite you to the bar to listen to music.”
Yuan Qinhu put his arm around Su Mu’s shoulder, his expression relaxing.
After hearing the second half of the sentence, Mengyao rolled her eyes at him and said to Su Mu:
“Don’t go to that kind of dirty place. If you want to listen to music, come to my house and I’ll sing for you!”
Mengyao was five or six years older than Su Mu, and was at the most beautiful age of a woman.
Furthermore, she was enchanting and had a graceful figure. She was definitely a stunner.
“Yo! Was she afraid that she wouldn’t be able to get married, so she took the initiative to attack?”
“Other than listening to music, are there any more exciting activities?”
“Su Mu, show your appreciation.”
Yuan Qinhu looked at Su Mu with a teasing smile.
However, Su Mu only smiled calmly and said:
“I can’t go to the bar with my brother. I’ve been busy cultivating recently and have no time to do anything else.”
Su Mu didn’t directly respond to Mengyao’s words, but his meaning was obvious.
A look of disappointment flashed across Mengyao’s face, but she quickly hid it.
Seeing this, Su Mu shook his head slightly in his heart.
If Mengyao knew that he was the Bloody Skeleton, she would not have the guts to invite him to her house to listen to music…
..
In the next few days, the Demon Suppression Division sent out their forces to search the Imperial City several times, but they could not find any trace of the Blood Fiend Skeleton.
This ghost seemed to have evaporated from the world, leaving no trace behind!
As a result, the higher-ups of the Demon Suppression Division suspected that it was the Imperial Advisor’s doing.
In this Imperial City, who else had such ability other than him?
However, the Demon Suppression Bureau did not directly turn hostile with the Imperial Advisor. It was unknown whether it was because they were afraid or had other plans.
Su Mu wasn’t in a hurry and continued to carry out his original plan step by step.
He cultivated every day and followed Yuan Qinhu and the others around.
At night, he would transform into a demon and move around while familiarizing himself with his powers.
After a month of hard work, Su Mu had improved in all aspects.
This made him even more confident.
..
A few days later, Su Mu once again destroyed a Tranquil Peace Temple.
Not only did he kill all the demonized Dao children inside, but he also destroyed this building.
It vaguely revealed that he wanted to take revenge.
Moreover, Su Mu also tried his best to make the traces he left behind closer to that Earth-ranked Demon Slayer, also known as the Tyrant Blade Cheng Gang.
Su Mu had caused quite a commotion.
The next day, the news of another Tranquil Peace Temple being destroyed spread throughout the Imperial City, and everyone in the Demon Suppression Bureau knew about it.
The atmosphere became even more solemn!
When the four of them went out to patrol, they naturally talked about this matter.
Yuan Qinhu lowered his voice and said,”
“Which big shot from the Demon Suppression Division do you think did this?”
“I heard that the saber marks left behind are a little similar to the Tyrant Saber Cheng Gang. Could it be that I was right?”
Mengyao continued,
“It’s not impossible. I heard that Cheng Gang has a bad temper.”
“It just so happens that I failed to advance to the Heaven-tier Demon Slayer some time ago. I’m holding back a stomach full of anger!”
Hearing this, the old drunkard quickly stopped him.
“Don’t talk nonsense!”
“This is a huge matter. How can you do it because of your personal emotions?”
“I saw Cheng Gang this morning. He didn’t look too good. He’s probably troubled by this matter.”
“So, it’s better not to give a lecture.”
Yuan Qinhu and Mengyao felt that it made sense, so they stopped mentioning the words “Tyrannical Saber Cheng Gang” and changed the way they said it.
“No matter who it is, this person’s strength is very strong!”
“I heard that after the last incident, the Tranquil Peace Houses strengthened their defenses, but they were still easily destroyed.”
“Only such an expert can stand firm in this chaotic world!”
As he spoke, Yuan Qinhu’s expression was filled with yearning and admiration.
He wished that he could also break through to the Grandmaster Realm and become a decent expert.
With that, Yuan Qinhu didn’t need to accumulate any more merits and could directly be promoted to Earth-tier Demon Slayer!
“Putting everything else aside, you must pay attention to your safety in the near future!”
” I’ve lost two seats in a row. Who knows the country…” What kind of reaction will they have?”
“Once that person gets angry, the consequences will be unimaginable!”
“Troubled times, troubled times!”
The old drunkard shook his head helplessly, his expression heavy.
Recently, the situation in the Royal City had been very frequent, so much so that he did not even have the mood to drink.
Su Mu didn’t say anything, but his eyes flickered.
From the attitude of Yuan Qinhu and the others, one could tell how high the pressure was on the Demon Suppression Bureau.
This volcano was about to explode!
