Chapter 6: Murder in the Dark

Although it was easy to breakthrough to the 1t level of Foundation Building Realm, Mo Xiu didn't continue to breakthrough, instead, he stopped practicing.

Though he wanted to get revenge earlier, but he also needed to be careful about cultivating. Things could only be done one step at a time.

It took several years or even ten years for others to cultivate to the 9th level of Qi Refining Realm, but it only took him less than an hour to cultivate to that level. This was already a very terrifying cultivation speed.

When he first started to practice in his previous life, he also thought that the sooner he could practice, the better. Therefore, he could not wait to breakthrough several realms overnight, until later, when his cultivation level rose up, he almost died because of unstable foundation.

After that, he spent a lot of effort to find Celestial Elemental Fruit and finally solved the hidden danger of unstable foundation.

From then on, no matter how easy the breakthrough was, he would deliberately suppress it. He had to polish it and stabilize the foundation before he could breakthrough to the next level.

Ultimately, in this life, he must avoid things like unstable foundation without fail. After all, Celestial Elemental Fruit was not so easy to find.

After stopping the practice, the rich Spiritual Energy in the yard gradually dissipated until it returned to normal.

The cultivating Mo Ruyi immediately noticed this, so there was some regret in her heart. There was nothing to be particularly unhappy about, but she was somewhat confused about the sudden change of Spiritual Energy just now.

After she stopped practicing, she remembered Mo Xiu's instructions before. So she got up and walked out of the room, went to the door of Mo Xiu's room next door, and knocked twice on the door with her hand up.

"Come in." Mo Xiu's voice sounded from inside the room.

Mo Ruyi then pushed the door and walked in, turned around and closed the door behind her.

The light was not lit, and the windows were closed. Moonlight was not visible, consequently, the room was completely dark. Only the outline of Mo Xiu was faintly visible. He seemed to be sitting on the bed with a deep gaze falling on her.

"Mo Xiu." She walked towards Mo Xiu.

"Sit down." Mo Xiu said casually.

Mo Ruyi looked at the darkened room for a bit, then finally set her eyes on the bed.

Soon, she came to the edge of the bed and sat down with some anxiety.

"Tomorrow, you will go out with me and I will help you restore your appearance." Mo Xiu's voice sounded again.

Upon hearing this, Mo Ruyi couldn't help but raise her hand to cover the scar on her left cheek, "Can you really help me recover?"

"Yes." Mo Xiu nodded gently.

"Okay." Mo Ruyi naturally hoped to restore her face.

But she understood, Mo Xiu called her over tonight, was definitely not to do something shameful.

After all, the scar on her face was not natural. It was also true that there were sometimes that it was ignored by her subconsciously. But now, it seemed that Mo Xiu definitely cared, otherwise, he would not say to help her restore her appearance.

Since he cared, Mo Xiu would not touch her, at least until she recovered.

After understanding this, her emotions suddenly became a bit complicated. She didn't know whether to be happy or sad.

Mo Xiu called Mo Ruyi over was not because he had some other attempt, but because he knew that there would be killers coming here to kill them tonight. Hence, he called Mo Ruyi over so that he would not have to be distracted. Finally, in his room, he would catch and wipe out those killers all at once.

It was unclear when would the killers come for the time being, he didn't care very much either, but he could do something before that.

Mo Xiu closed his eyes and began to practice another technique: Soul Devouring Knife.

After all, since he had just woken up from a state of sleep, the strongest thing in him at this time was not his cultivation base or his martial skills, but his Divine Soul.

Divine Soul, namely the Primordial Spirit and Primordial Soul.

The Primordial Soul was the root, and the Primordial Spirit was derived from the Primordial Soul.

The Primordial Spirit and the Primordial soul were united to form a complete Divine Soul, so that they could perceive everything around them and practice.

Divine Consciousness was an extension of Divine Soul. The stronger the Divine Soul, the stronger the Divine Consciousness.

In the previous life, Mo Xiu only had a ray of soul to escape. After reincarnation, even if his Primordial Soul became a complete Divine Soul, it was still not known how much worse than that of the previous life.

However, in his previous life, as the strongest Everlasting Demon King in the universe, even if it was just a strand of soul, he was still undoubtedly countless times stronger than ordinary people.

Therefore, the cultivation base of the 9th level of Qi Refining was really nothing compared to the Divine Soul he had now.

Although Divine Soul was strong, it could not be used to kill people, but Divine Consciousness could be used, thought it required special practice.

Before, Mo Xiu killed Chen Feiyan with his Divine Consciousness, but it was only because Chen Feiyan was seriously injured and he had almost no ability to resist.

If Chen Feiyan was not injured, it would not be easy to kill Chen Feiyan with his Divine Consciousness.

The Soul Devouring Knife was a Divine Consciousness technique. The so-called "knife" was not a real knife, but it was a knife in the form of Divine Consciousness.

The Divine Consciousness was tempered into a Soul Devouring Knife, which could break through the enemy's Spiritual Platform, crush their Divine Soul, and truly kill people invisibly.

...

As the night darkened, a lot of people appeared around the yard, each with black clothes and masks, holding swords in their hands, looking very suspicious.

In the small courtyard, there was a sudden murderous intent.

In addition to Mo Xiu and Mo Ruyi, there was also one person in the courtyard – the maidservant left by Mo Miao, who was Ru Hua.

She didn't seem to know that there would be killers coming tonight, so Ru Hua didn't leave the courtyard or hide in the room.

At this moment, she was standing in front of Mo Xiu's room.

After hesitating for a moment, she didn't even knock on the door but pushed the door and walked in.

After closing the door, she whispered, "Young Master, are you asleep?"

No one responded, as if there was no one in the room.

She was not a cultivator, unable to capture Mo Xiu's silhouette in the dark like Mo Ruyi, she didn't even know that there was another Mo Ruyi sitting in the room.

Without hearing Mo Xiu's voice, she simply walked gently towards the direction of the only bed in the room.

As she walked, she raised her hand to untie the belt around her waist, and layers of her clothes slipped one by one.

Before she stripped herself down, a slightly angry voice rang, "Ru Hua, what are you doing?"

"Ahh…" Au Hua exclaimed.

She thought that Mo Xiu might not be in the room, or Mo Xiu might be in the room but would refuse her approach, but she never expected to hear Mo Ruyi's voice instead.

Was this Mo Ruyi's room? Did she go wrong?

Impossible!

During the day, she confirmed again and again that this was Mo Xiu's room, and there was definitely nothing wrong with it.

Was it possible that without her knowing, Mo Xiu and Mo Ruyi secretly changed rooms?

It would be embarrassing to go to the wrong room.

Her mind turned sharply, and soon she asked, "Miss, isn't this Young Master's room? Why are you here?"

At this time, Mo Xiu's voice rang, "I called her over."

"Ugh…" Ru Hua suddenly became a little speechless.

It seemed that she didn't go to the wrong room, but it was also very embarrassing. She wanted to seduce Mo Xiu, but was caught by Mo Ruyi. What was this situation?

In the darkness, Mo Ruyi, who was sitting on the edge of the bed, stood up, walked to the window, and opened the window.

The moonlight entered the house along the window, as the outline of the people and various objects in the house gradually became clear.

Soon, Mo Ruyi came to the Ru Hua and asked again, "What are you doing?"

How did Ru Hua ever expect such a scene? All of a sudden, she felt extremely ashamed.

After another thought, she felt something was wrong again.

So what if she got caught, what was so ashamed of?

Since she even did such things to seduce the Young Master, why would she be afraid of being caught by Mo Ruyi?

Thinking of this, she glanced at Mo Xiu, who was sitting cross-legged on the bed, and said courageously, "This maidservant had promised Third Master that she would take good care of Young Master. Naturally, she came here to take care of Young Master. Why? Does Young Miss want to take care of the Young Master too?"

Upon hearing this, Mo Ruyi blushed.

She naturally knew what the so-called "care" was. This girl Ru Hua had already taken off her clothes, so the care she wanted to give to Mo Xiu was nothing other than "that".

Before, she had indeed thought about "taking care of" Mo Xiu, but Mo Xiu obviously didn't mean that, so she gave up that idea.

Now that she heard the Ru Hua's words, she felt the only fig leaf left was uncovered, she was naturally a little embarrassed.

Fortunately, it was late at night. Even if the blush was as if bleeding, others couldn't see it.

She snorted, "Why do you need to take care of Mo Xiu? Does Mo Xiu still need you to take care of him? Don't think I don't know your thought; you just want to seduce Mo Xiu so that Mo Xiu will give you the palm technique willingly. If not for Third Uncle's face, do you think I would've let you stay here?"

By "Third Uncle's face", Mo Ruyi actually did not want to refuse Mo Miao directly like that, lest she would make an enemy out of him.

"Miss, you are accusing this maidservant. This slave is a member of the Mo Family, not a member of Third Master." RU Hua quickly defended, "Besides, this slave is not a cultivator. What's the use of that technique?"

"In that case, why do you come to seduce Mo Xiu?"

"I'm innocent! This servant girl really just wanted to take care of Young Master, and never had the heart to seduce Young Master."

"Then why don't you take care of me?"

"Ugh, does Young Miss need to be taken care of by this servant too? Is it possible that Young Miss is that kind of person?"

"..."

Mo Ruyi was suddenly speechless.

At this moment, Mo Xiu noticed something and suddenly said, "Here they are."

"En?" Mo Ruyi became alert.

In the beginning, Ru Hua still had some doubts, but soon realized something, and her body became stiff.

After all, Mo Miao had said before that Mo Hong was likely to send killers at night.

There were three people living in this yard. Since Mo Xiu said "here they are", they must be the killers sent by Mo Hong.

Sure enough, a footstep sounded from outside the house at this moment.

In the blink of an eye, they heard a "bang" and the door of the room was forcibly broken open.

Immediately after that, seven or eight men in black clothes and masks, each holding a sword, rushed in from the outside with a murderous look.

Even though they were wearing black clothes and masked their face, Mo Ruyi still recognized these people. They were all warriors of the Mo Family, one of them was a Core Formation Realm cultivator, and the others were all cultivators of the Foundation Building Realm.

Although they were the killers sent by Mo Hong, these people had no awareness of being killers at all, and even the Core Formation Realm killer said, "Hand over your palm technique, maybe I will forgive you not to die!"
