Chapter 191: Dealing with the Tail

【Time left until the host’s Dantian shatters: 478!】【Daily fixed points: Shuang Jiang: 15, Zhang Xiu: 4, Feng Qingya: 4, Luo Yuebai: 2, Xuening: 2】

【Remaining usable points: 221】

The points have broken through the 200 mark once again.

In the past, this would have been enough to directly unlock a secret repository.

But now, the Tanzhong Acupoint requires 300 points to unlock.

However, in Su Jingzhe’s view, it is not difficult for him to reach 300 points now.

As long as he can reach the level of Flesh Body Golden Embryo, he will have some self-preservation abilities in the Qingzhou territory.

After practicing the “Python Scales Power” in his room for a few rounds, Su Jingzhen pushed open the door.

Today, he had his own goals. Before the Alchemy Master Conference officially begins, he wants to thoroughly understand the strange occurrences surrounding Feng Qingya.

And their current situation.

However, just as he pushed open the door and was about to go downstairs, the white-haired old man, Mu Lao, was standing at the end of the corridor, smiling at him.

“Good morning, Master Su.”

Mu Lao took the initiative to greet Su Jingzhen, but Su Jingzhen’s heart was filled with doubts.

He could see that Mu Lao seemed to be intentionally waiting for him.

Su Jingzhen smiled and nodded, asking, “What brings Mu Lao here?”

“Miss has instructed me to take you and Miss Xuening to Yunmeng City for a stroll.”

Upon hearing Mu Lao’s words, Su Jingzhen’s heart skipped a beat, and he asked subconsciously, “What about Miss Feng?”

“Miss left early in the morning and is already in Yunmeng City. No one can disturb her there.”

“Miss has some old acquaintances in Yunmeng City, and she has many things to attend to today.” S~eaʀᴄh the Novelƒire.n(e)t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

As Mu Lao spoke, Xuening’s door also opened.

She was already dressed and made up.

As Xuening looked at Mu Lao and Su Jingzhen at the end of the corridor, she also had a hint of doubt in her eyes.

After exchanging greetings, Mu Lao repeated what he had just said to Su Jingzhen.

Su Jingzhen and Xuening exchanged a glance, and both knew that the so-called “stroll” in the city was probably a way to inform them about Feng Qingya’s situation.

Yesterday, Su Jingzhen had already guessed some things from the whispers of the pedestrians.

Feng Qingya’s affairs should be well-known in Yunmeng City.

By taking a stroll, they should be able to learn more about it.

With Mu Lao accompanying them, Su Jingzhen abandoned his plan to conceal his identity.

He didn’t know what level Mu Lao had reached, but since he was able to serve as Feng Qingya’s protector, and Dantai Mingjing had also shown appreciation for him, he should be reliable.

The three of them chatted casually and then walked out of the Spirit Sound Inn, onto the main street.

Feng Qingya was not with them, and they wouldn’t attract much attention walking on the street.

After all, Yunmeng City was a super metropolis in Qingzhou, with many cultivators coming and going every day. Who could remember everyone?

But at this moment, Su Jingzhen felt like there were several pairs of eyes watching him.

Mu Lao quietly followed behind Su Jingzhen and Xuening, like an old servant.

He even smiled coldly, his lips moving as if he was transmitting a message to Su Jingzhen and Xuening.

Following Mu Lao’s instructions, the two of them walked in front, taking a winding path, and soon entered a narrow alley with few people.

Although they didn’t feel any fear, they disliked the feeling of being followed.

Su Jingzhen and the others had just turned into this alley when the scenery before their eyes suddenly changed.

The sparse crowd that was previously there suddenly disappeared, as if only the three of them, Su Jingzhen, Xuening, and Mu Lao, were left in the alley.

“I didn’t expect that there would be someone daring enough to make a move in Yunmeng City.”

Seeing this scene, Mu Lao’s mouth curled up into a cold smile.

Immediately, the power within Mu Lao’s body surged forth.

Su Jingzhen and Xuening’s expressions also turned serious.

After all, they were newcomers in Yunmeng City, and it was impossible not to feel tense.

But at this moment, Su Jingzhen’s heart was racing, and this scene was similar to when the Wandering Butcher had ambushed him in Peach Blossom Alley.

He knew that this was probably caused by the opponent suddenly activating a phantom array.

After all, this alley was a place they randomly chose, and it was impossible for anyone to predict that they would enter this place in advance.

As Su Jingzhen thought this, two black-clothed figures suddenly emerged from in front of them.

“It’s not easy to meet you folks. We’ve been waiting all night.”

At this time, the two black-clothed men didn’t cover their faces.

They looked to be around 30-40 years old, with ordinary faces, the kind that would be hard to find in a crowd.

Their speech was laced with a hint of mockery.

As they spoke, their auras suddenly surged forth.

Although they hadn’t reached the Golden Core stage, they had clearly reached the late Foundation Establishment stage.

Even among those in the Foundation Establishment stage, they shouldn’t be weak.

As their auras were revealed, Su Jingzhen and the others’ expressions turned somewhat playful.

Earlier, Su Jingzhen and Xuening had been a bit tense, worried that the opponent would at least send out one or two Golden Core cultivators to deal with them.

Perhaps even Mu Lao wouldn’t be afraid of facing Golden Core cultivators, but there might still be unexpected surprises.

But now, these two Foundation Establishment cultivators probably didn’t need Mu Lao to take action, and Su Jingzhen could handle them himself.

At this time, Mu Lao took a step forward.

“Who sent you? Don’t you recognize me?”

At this time, Mu Lao’s aura was concealed, and the two men’s faces still wore a cold smile.

“You don’t need to know that. Someone wants to let you country bumpkins know the rules of Yunmeng City.”

“Don’t worry, we won’t kill you. We just want to take something from you.”

As they spoke, their gazes fixed on Xuening and Su Jingzhen’s hands.

Hearing this, Mu Lao’s expression turned somewhat disappointed.

He knew that this was probably a move by some foolish person trying to curry favor with Feng Mingyan.

If Feng Mingyan really wanted to give them a warning, it wouldn’t be just these two people.

At least in Mu Lao’s view, with him accompanying them, Feng Mingyan wouldn’t let people come to deal with Su Jingzhen and Xuening.

Feng Mingyan wasn’t that foolish.

“You don’t want to talk, and I’m too lazy to ask. In Yunmeng City, I don’t want to kill anyone. I’ll leave you a hand or a foot, and that’ll be a lesson.”

As he said this, Mu Lao’s aura suddenly surged forth, without any restraint.

And at this time, Su Jingzhen and Xuening finally realized that Mu Lao was actually a Nascent Soul old monster!

Only, his aura seemed weaker than Shen Yifeng’s.

Shen Yifeng had revealed his true strength, and he was a mid-stage Nascent Soul cultivator. In Su Jingzhen’s view, Mu Lao should only be at the early stage of Nascent Soul.

Or perhaps he had just recently broken through.

“A…Nascent Soul old monster?”

As Mu Lao’s aura was revealed, the two men’s faces suddenly turned stiff.

And then, without any hesitation, they directly kneeled down before Mu Lao.
