The Nightmare Rat Clan

Midnight, at the Moon Wolf Tribe Settlement.

Several days had passed when Su Bai woke up and sat up cross-legged.

The Demon Power at the Demon General Level circulated within his body, and the vague feeling of his body being unsteady was instantly dispelled.

My heart and lungs acted like pumps, and in an instant, they regained their vitality.

Su Bai glanced at the Yu Zhao resting on the bed, then slowly got up.

During the breaks between his sparring and exchanges with Eight-Foot Madam these past few days, Su Bai has gained a more detailed understanding of Demon Star City.

Although Yu Zhao could prepare a considerable number of spirit medicine for Su Bai, plus another batch a month later.

The total quantity purchased was already enormous, but it was still not enough for Heavenly Star City, whose supply of spirit medicine had been completely cut off.

He had another plan.

Su Bai put on Veil Hat that she hadn't used in a long time and changed into a set of coarse cloth clothes.

They cleaned up all traces left behind when they left the Moon Wolf Tribe Settlement.

In the Demon Star City, I walked discreetly through the streets and alleys.

[Thousand Faces Phantom] moved silently, mimicking the aura of a low-level Human Race Cultivator, and slowly headed towards the Demon Star City West District.

Demon Star City is very large, and it's actually quite easy to encounter Human Race Cultivator like this, whose cultivation levels are very unremarkable.

Such Human Race are generally assumed to be slaves captured by some Demon Race race, used for running errands.

Therefore, few Demon Race pay attention to this kind of Human Race.

There's a rumor in Demon Star City that low-level Human Race slaves are so sweaty and aching that they're practically inedible.

Along the way, with such a low-key demeanor, coupled with Su Bai's inconspicuous attire and carefully chosen route, they were able to conceal their journey.

They traveled for half a day, experiencing moonset and sunrise, without any trouble from the Demon Race race.

Along the way, Su Bai used his Divine Sense sense to manipulate objects, subtly erasing all traces of the first half of the journey.

The only traceable starting point is extremely far from the Moon Wolf Tribe Settlement.

It took Su Bai half a day to maintain his Peak Qi Refining Realm stamina before he reached the Demon Star City West District.

However, it would still be about an hour's journey to Su Bai's destination.

Su Bai continued his journey at a leisurely pace.

Finally, as the sun hung high in the sky, we arrived at our destination.

The Nightmare Rat Clan's stronghold in Demon Star City is also one of the few Market in Demon Star City that sells spirit medicine: the Three Feet Market.

The reason for this name is because of the Nightmare Rat's special Talent digging three feet into the ground and being able to collect large quantities of spirit medicine from underground using the aura of spirit medicine roots.

Such Talent naturally allowed them to occupy a large share of the Demon Race's spirit medicine market.

If the Nightmare Rat Clan wanted to, they could monopolize 90% of the market share in the entire Demon Star City.

But then again, they wouldn't dare to even think about it.

Because the highest-ranking member of the Nightmare Rat Clan is only at the Middle Stage Demon General realm.

In Heavenly Star City, the Nightmare Rat Demon Race is the only Nightmare Rat Tribe.

They simply can't handle such a large share; trying to monopolize it would be a dead end.

Therefore, the Nightmare Rat Clan only occupies 15% of the entire Demon Star City's spirit medicine market share.

However, considering the amount of spirit medicine consumed by the Demon Race, even this 15% share is extremely terrifying!

Furthermore, among the low-level Demon Race that originally smuggled spirit medicine to Heavenly Star City, there were quite a few Demon Cultivator from the Nightmare Rat Clan.

Therefore, with the issuance of this Prohibition Order by Demon Star City, the Nightmare Rat Clan has stockpiled a large amount of spirit medicine in a short period of time, to the point that they are difficult to sell.

Su Bai's second plan was to seize the spirit medicine hoarded by the Nightmare Rat Clan.

It certainly couldn't be seeking cooperation with the Nightmare Rat Clan.

Given the nature of this clan, one second they're discussing cooperation, and the next second the Demon King of Demon Star City has probably received a tip-off and captured Su Bai.

Therefore, the only option is to rob!

But Su Bai was alone on this trip.

Even with the help of the Thunder Element Sword Array, it's possible to wipe out all the Nightmare Rats in the Market within half an incense stick's time.

It was also impossible for them to seize spirit medicine in the entire Market before escaping and attracting the attention of the Demon King.

This is simply impossible.

But with [Thousand Faces Phantom] and [Endless Vitality], Su Bai had no need to act so rashly.

After mentally reviewing the specific plan and any unforeseen circumstances that might occur,

Su Bai walked to a corner and changed out of his coarse linen clothes.

Instead, it was none other than the set of the Azure Fish Hall assassin!

But it's clearly not the real thing; the real set was already taken back when they returned to the Qingzhou Cultivation World.

The garment he is wearing now is a replica made by Su Bai based on his memory.

Although somewhat rough.

However, aside from the Azure Fish Hall assassin who regularly wear this attire and the mission targets who are assassinated by the Assassin, almost no Cultivator would be able to recognize the difference.

Donning the replica of the Azure Fish Hall Outfit, [Thousand Faces Phantom] was quietly deactivated, and his cultivation aura slowly rose to the Peak Foundation Establishment.

In a flash, Su Bai arrived at the Main Hall of the Three Feet Market.

Inside the Main Hall, four Nightmare Rats that had just begun to take human form were stationed there. At a glance, they were all at the mid-to-late stage of the Condensing Origin Stage.

Su Bai was naturally prepared. These four were the strongest Nightmare Rat Clan at present, and the four descendants of the Nightmare Rat Tribe Chief.

They are all potential successors to the position of Clan Chief of the Nightmare Rat Clan in the future.

At this moment, all four of them put down what they were doing and looked at the figure that had gracefully appeared in the hall.

"The Azure Fish Hall... Assassin!"

One of them reacted the fastest, exclaiming in surprise.

Having known him for some time, Su Bai recognized him at a glance; he was the second oldest of the four brothers.

Su Bai remained expressionless as a Sword Qi pierced through the neck, instantly killing the Late Core Formation Stage Realm Rat Second.

The other three Nightmare Rats stood there dumbfounded.

However, very quickly, two of the remaining three potential heirs to the Nightmare Rat Tribe Chief position were gone.

Inside the Main Hall of Three Feet Market, in the blink of an eye, Su Bai easily solved the major problem that had troubled the Nightmare Rat Tribe Chief for many years: choosing a successor.

The only survivor, the fourth Fourth Brother, lost his composure on the spot and almost fainted.

With Thunder speed, Su Bai killed three Demon Race at the Condensing Origin Stage, but did not make another move.

Because at that very moment, deep within the Nightmare Rat Clan's territory, a terrifying roar soared into the sky.

At the same time, a Middle Stage Demon General firmly locked onto Su Bai in the Three Feet Market.

Su Bai glanced at the only surviving Fourth Brother without showing any emotion, but did not make another move. Instead, he flashed into a bolt of lightning, used his escape technique, and sped away from the Demon Star City.

The Nightmare Rat Tribe's territory was located on the edge of Demon Star City.

At this moment, Su Bai was using the speed of Foundation Establishment, and he was about to escape from Demon Star City.

But how could the enraged Old Nightmare Rat let Su Bai escape so easily?

With full-speed bursts, they quickly approached within a hundred miles of Su Bai, their aura locking even tighter.

Upon seeing this, Su Bai's face showed shock, and a fleeting look of tension crossed his expression.

This scene was witnessed by the enraged Old Nightmare Rat. "Azure Fish Hall assassin, first mission, huh? Today, I'll kill you!"

"We must find out exactly who dared to lay a hand on my Nightmare Rat Clan!"

The tension on Su Bai's face deepened even more.

He maintained his Foundation Establishment Realm stage speed, gradually allowing the Old Nightmare Rat to close the distance.

The sinister and tyrannical glint in the Old Nightmare Rat's eyes suddenly erupted, and it was about to use its Divine Ability to capture Su Bai alive.

At this moment, Su Bai took out a High-grade Black Sky Talisman, condensed his Spiritual Power, and activated it instantly.

In the blink of an eye, they had crossed the boundaries of Demon Star City.

But this distance was precisely what allowed him to be locked onto by the Old Nightmare Rat's aura from afar...
