Chaotic Sword Emperor-Chapter 5 – There is danger but no harm?

One day later.
In the Su family study, Su Mocheng looked at the unrecognizable corpse of Su Xiangchuan on the floor, his eyes bloodshot with rage, his body trembling uncontrollably!
"Why, why has it come to this!" He bellowed at the steward who had brought back Su Xiangchuan's body, the steward so frightened that he immediately knelt on the ground, shivering.
Since Su Xiangchuan's body was discovered the next day, the blood in the dungeon attracted many beasts, and the corpses of those guards were nearly gnawed clean. Had they been any later, not even remains of Su Xiangchuan would have been left.
"Brother!"
Su Yilong, crazed with grief, burst into the study. Seeing the mutilated body of Su Xiangchuan, his eyes nearly split with fury!
"Who killed my brother!"
Looking at this eldest son of the family head, now the Young Master who had replaced Su Mu as the top talent, no one dared to utter a word.
"Where's Su Mu!" Su Yilong suddenly remembered Su Mu and roared at the steward.
"Young Master, Su... Su Mu, he's disappeared!"
"What? Gone?" Su Yilong was stunned for a moment, exchanging a glance with Su Mocheng, both faces filled with murderous intent.
"It must be that Old Bastard, the Grand Elder!"
A quick look at bit.ly/3iBfjkV will leave you more fulfilled.
"He always doted on Su Mu, it must be him!"
Su Mu had already been crippled by them, locked up tight, there's no way he could have escaped on his own and killed Su Xiangchuan. It had to be the Grand Elder's doing!
"That Old Bastard never gave up searching, and to think he actually found him."
"I'm going to kill that Old Bastard and avenge my brother!" Su Yilong roared and drew his sword to rush out, but Su Mocheng stopped him.
"Yilong, calm down!"
"We have no evidence right now. The Grand Elder must have discovered our plot after saving Su Mu. We absolutely cannot act rashly!"
"So my brother just died in vain?" Su Yilong's eyes were bloodshot as he looked at Su Mocheng. This was his own brother, not that dog Su Mu!
"Of course not!" A cold light flashed in Su Mocheng's eyes. The pain of losing his son, how could he just let it go!
"You haven't joined the Martial House yet. If you tear your face off with that Old Bastard now, it will affect you too much. The most important thing now is to quickly find Su Mu and kill him!"
Su Yilong fell silent, then nodded after a moment.
"What if that Old Bastard spreads the word?" Su Yilong worried. If this matter were exposed, his reputation would be ruined!
"Hmph, he wouldn't dare!" Su Mocheng sneered, turning to look outside the door, "If he dares to speak out, it means declaring war on us. For the sake of the family, he wouldn't dare to battle me!"
"Besides, you've now become a Twin Fate Palace talent. No matter what that old thing does, it can't affect your future!"
Su Yilong nodded after hearing this. Even if the matter was exposed, so what? Twin Fate Palace talents were rare, perhaps the Martial House would make an exception and recruit him!
Even if the Martial House didn't accept him, he could simply rise elsewhere!
"That Old Bastard definitely won't bring Su Mu back. It's very likely he's hiding in the Beast Mountain Range to heal!" A fierce light flashed in Su Mocheng's eyes, and a sinister smile curled his lips. Think playing a game of cat and mouse in the dark would work?
"Dispatch everyone, we must find Su Mu. Once found, kill without mercy!"
"Yilong, the most important thing for you now is to cultivate. Once you join the Martial House, kill that old thing to avenge Xiangchuan!"
...
"Bang!"
Deep in the Beast Mountain Range, Su Mu wiped the sweat from his brow as he looked at the Green Wind Wolf that had collapsed before him. He hadn't stopped for a moment these past two days, constantly fighting. His cultivation had already broken through to the ninth level of the Spiritual Agility Realm, and he would soon return to the Fate Palace Realm!
"I've already condensed two drops of Yuan Liquid. Combat really is the fastest way." Inspecting the two drops of Yuan Liquid within his Sword Vein, Su Mu couldn't help but smile. These two drops were the greatest achievement of his efforts over the past two days.
"There are only thirteen days left. I need to speed up." After drinking a bottle of medicinal liquid, Su Mu set his gaze on the core of the Beast Mountain Range.
After these two days, he had basically figured out the method to condense Yuan Liquid. The fastest was still through combat, which not only helped him condense Yuan Liquid but also helped him master Sword Intent.
The second method was cultivation, but condensing Yuan Liquid required a very high-quality environment. In places where the spiritual energy was not abundant, it might take half a month to condense even a single drop of Yuan Liquid.
The third method was to consume various heavenly materials and earthly treasures, or superior medicinal liquids and pills. And the core of the Beast Mountain Range had plenty of such treasures!
Constant combat combined with heavenly materials and earthly treasures would definitely speed up the condensation of Yuan Liquid, allowing him to break through to the Fate Palace Realm at the fastest speed!
Deep within the Beast Mountain Range, the beasts capable of surviving in this core area were at least comparable to the human Fate Palace Realm, and some were even as powerful as the Transcendence Realm!
The core area was a forbidden zone for the weak!
An hour later.
As Su Mu passed by a huge rock, he faintly smelled a fragrance.
"Is this the scent of the Purple Flame Flower?" His heart stirred, he leaped onto the rock and his gaze fell on a purple plant, his eyes instantly lighting up.
"It's really the Purple Flame Flower!"
The Purple Flame Flower was an excellent medicinal herb that could be consumed directly. It used fiery heat to temper the meridians and Dantian, enhancing their toughness, and contained very pure power. For Su Mu, the temptation was immense.
"Just eating that Purple Flame Flower will definitely allow me to condense three drops of Yuan Liquid, and my cultivation could break through to the peak of the Spiritual Agility Realm!"
"But where there's a Purple Flame Flower, there must be a Purple Crystal Beast..."
The Purple Flame Flower was a companion spiritual medicine to the Purple Crystal Beast. Where there was a Purple Flame Flower, there would be a Purple Crystal Beast.
The Purple Crystal Beast was a very powerful beast with an abnormal defense. With his current strength, encountering a Purple Crystal Beast would be more likely to end in disaster than success.
"Never mind, fortune favors the bold!"
Without further thought, Su Mu decided to harvest the flower first and ask questions later.
After securing the flower, he quickly turned to leave, to avoid encountering the Purple Crystal Beast.
"Purple Flame Flower? Brother Zhang, that's a Purple Flame Flower!"
Just as Su Mu had jumped down from the rock, four people emerged from the side, their eyes locked on the Purple Flame Flower in his hand, shining with greed.
"It's really the Purple Flame Flower!"
"Su Mu?"
The four rushed over excitedly, then halted in their steps, looking at Su Mu with surprise.
"He's still alive?"
"Is that the Lascivious Scoundrel?" One of the women was taken aback, then looked at Su Mu with disgust, hugging her clothes and stepping back as if even a glance from Su Mu was a desecration!
After a moment of surprise, the three men exchanged glances. The Purple Flame Flower was an extremely rare medicinal herb. Even if they didn't use it themselves, selling it would make them rich!
But Su Mu was once the number one talent in the city...
"This Lascivious Scoundrel, even if he miraculously survived, his cultivation has been crippled. What's there to fear?" The leading youth sneered disdainfully. How could they not take advantage of something delivered right to their doorstep?
The two men and one woman nodded slightly. The news of Su Mu being crippled and killed for offending a powerful figure by committing adultery had already spread throughout Anqing City. They had no reason to fear a mere dying cripple!
"People from the Zhang Family." Su Mu recognized the leader, a genius from the Zhang Family named Zhang Chi.
Zhang Chi arrogantly stretched out his hand to Su Mu: "Hand over the Purple Flame Flower, or die!"
As he spoke, a murderous intent appeared on his face. He didn't know how Su Mu had survived, nor how Su Mu had the guts to venture into the core area, but if he didn't hand it over, he would die!
A cold light flashed in Su Mu's eyes as he drew his sword. Kill him? Let's see if you have the strength!
"You dare to resist?" Zhang Chi and his companions laughed. They were beginning to admire Su Mu's courage.
"No wonder you dare to come to the core area. You truly have no idea what death is!"
"You don't appreciate the life you've been left with, so today we'll send you on your way for good!"
Zhang Chi shouted coldly, and the four of them made their move together!
Although any one of them could have killed Su Mu, wasn't it more satisfying to torment him first?
Seeing them attack together, Su Mu sneered, truly flattered by their high regard.
"Lawless Sword Trick—Transcend Sin!"
"Clang, clang, clang!"
Instantly, all the power within his body surged as he let out a low shout, swinging his sword horizontally. Zhang Chi and his companions' faces changed color!
"Such strong power!"
"Hisss!"
Their palms were shaken until they cracked. Underestimating Su Mu, they were directly sent flying!
"Bang, bang, bang, bang!"
"Hisss, how can he be so strong!"
"He was supposed to be crippled, how can he still have such strength!"
Zhang Chi and his companions got up, their right hands trembling continuously, looking at Su Mu with shock on their faces. This kind of power should not be possible for Su Mu!
"Could it be that after his cultivation was crippled, he focused on cultivating his physical body?"
"Kill him!"
A murderous aura appeared on Zhang Chi's face. Even if Su Mu was strong, he must snatch the Purple Flame Flower!
"Roar!"
But before they could move, a furious roar sounded behind them, echoing through the mountains!
On top of the rock, a beast resembling a wolf appeared, its body not covered in much fur but instead a layer of purple crystal!
"The Purple Crystal Beast!" Su Mu looked up at the Purple Crystal Beast, and seeing it in a state of rage, he hesitated only briefly before turning to leave.
The Purple Crystal Beast, stronger than the Fate Palace Realm, was more than enough to claim the lives of Zhang Chi and his companions!
"Roar!"
The Purple Crystal Beast was furious, its gaze locking onto Zhang Chi and his companions, its eyes shooting out a fierce light!
It had only gone to relieve itself, and the Purple Flame Flower it had guarded for years had been stolen!
Such an outrage against a beast!
