At the same time, two auras erupted in Bright Moon City, carrying suffocating pressure. One was clearly stronger than the other.

The Nascent Soul Realm—and the Nascent Soul Stage!

"Elder Su Qingyun, why did you attack our Fang Tooth Sect? I have never offended the Su Family."

Accompanied by a furious roar, it was not long before that Nascent Soul Realm aura completely died out.

Everyone's hearts trembled, especially those outside the Crimson Courtyard. They knew exactly what had happened.

To many people, Nascent Soul Realm cultivators were mighty experts. Yet before the Su Family, such a figure was actually so feeble that he had not even the slightest power to resist.

He had been wiped out so easily!

Still, many people felt that the Fangtooth Gang's leader had died too unjustly. He had been killed without knowing anything at all.

But this sort of thing happened far too often in Bright Moon City. In a world where the weak were prey to the strong, where was there any reason to speak of?

Elsewhere.

After killing Hu Huan, Su Chen vanished from the spot.

Ruoxi looked at the place where Su Chen had disappeared and bowed respectfully again. "Thank you, Young Master."

After the Fangtooth Gang was wiped out, some of the bolder girls in the Crimson Courtyard immediately began to flee.

Once one person took the lead, all the girls in the entire Crimson Courtyard scattered in an uproar.

Two figures rushed out of the Crimson Courtyard. They were dressed in rather flamboyant clothes, and their faces were filled with panic.

These two were Li Ying and Li Xiu. The Fang Tooth Sect had threatened them with their parents, forcing them to receive customers in the Crimson Courtyard.

The two of them had originally fallen into despair and were willing to accept their miserable fate.

Today was also their first day receiving customers. Yet before they had even received one, this upheaval had occurred.

At first, the two of them were frightened and did not dare to run. But after seeing so many girls flee without anyone stopping them, they finally followed along.

"Elder Sister Xiu! Elder Sister Ying!"

When Li Qingqing saw the two of them, she hurriedly shouted.

Li Ying and Li Xiu were startled and turned toward the voice. What entered their eyes was one familiar figure and one unfamiliar figure.

However, both of them recognized who the latter was.

A few years ago, their entire family had gone to the Su Family to visit Ruoxi. Although they had only met her briefly, they clearly remembered their younger sister Ruoxi.

The two immediately ran over, pulled her along, and fled.

"Hurry, let's go!"

Ruoxi did not resist either. After the group ran a long way, they finally stopped by the roadside and panted heavily.

Li Ying and Li Xiu were both overjoyed to see Ruoxi again. When they learned that it was their younger sister who had saved them, they were utterly shocked.

They had thought Ruoxi was merely a servant in the Su Family, but they had never expected her to be a servant serving the Su Family's young master.

Seeing that Ruoxi had encountered such an opportunity, their eyes were filled with envy.

In the end, the three older sisters tried their utmost to persuade Ruoxi to return home and take a look, but Ruoxi still refused. She did not yet know how to face their parents.

"I'll find you a good house. Move to Bright Moon City as soon as possible. When the time comes, just come to the Su Family and find me."

After Ruoxi finished speaking, she turned and left.

Li Qingqing could not help giving a bitter smile. "It seems our little sister still holds a grudge."

Li Ying and Li Xiu both sighed. What they had done back then had indeed been wrong. Ruoxi had been alone and helpless in the Su Family, without her family's care, and had suffered countless grievances. It was only normal for her to hold a grudge.

Compared with starving to death together, however, that outcome had already been considered good.

At that time, a natural disaster had struck, and the temperature had suddenly plummeted. It had naturally had no effect on cultivators, but their mortal family had suffered terribly. If they had not sent Ruoxi away, they would have had no choice but to starve to death.

The three older sisters were somewhat older and could all work, but Ruoxi had been too young. They had been forced to send her to the Su Family.

In truth, when their parents had abandoned Ruoxi at the Su Family, they had been extremely worried as well. They had waited in the distance for half a day and only left after Ruoxi had been carried into the Su Family.

However, judging from Ruoxi's current attitude, there was still plenty of room for things to turn around.

Su Family.

Su Chen continued lying in his chair, a relaxed look on his face. Home was still the most comfortable.

After dozing for half an hour, he slowly opened his eyes again.

The Su Family now had three Nascent Soul Stage cultivators: Su Qingtian, Su Yunqian, and Su Qingyun. The remaining three elders had all reached the peak of the Nascent Soul Realm.

They would presumably break through to the Nascent Soul Stage soon. Although this progress was not bad, it was still far from enough.

A powerful faction could not rely on cultivation alone. It also needed powerful techniques, as well as sufficiently formidable auxiliary paths, such as alchemy, artifact refinement, and formations.

Su Chen took out a formation. This formation was called the Spirit Summoning Array. It was a mid-level Heaven Rank formation that could increase the speed at which Spiritual Energy was generated nearby.

With the Su Family as its center, the speed at which Spiritual Energy was generated within five hundred meters would double. For the next three thousand meters outward, the speed would increase by onefold, while within ten thousand meters, the speed would increase by fifty percent.

The cultivation environment in Bright Moon City could ultimately only be considered average. It was extremely difficult for Void Refinement cultivators to emerge, while Body Integration Realm cultivators were simply impossible.

In this situation, they could either improve the environment, though that would take considerable effort, or directly take the Su Family away from Bright Moon City.

Relocate!

Clearly, Su Chen thought the latter option was better.

There was truly no need to remain in Bright Moon City. The Xuantian Realm had many Blessed Lands. Would it not be better to have the Su Family settle in one of those places?

Even if they wanted to improve the environment, they could choose a better location.

The main issue was that the Five Great Cities were too remote and unfavorable to the Su Family's development.

But those were matters for later. There was no need to hurry for now.

Su Chen began thinking about his own affairs again. Because he had used his cultivation earlier, his Primordial Immortal Body had now reached great completion, and his body even contained the terrifying killing method known as Primordial Purple Qi.

Still, he felt that something was missing.

His offensive methods were a little too monotonous. They lacked a certain cool flair.

Su Chen turned his gaze toward the techniques section. It contained countless techniques ranging from Yellow Rank to Immortal Rank.

"Great Fireball Technique, high-level Profound Rank technique. It can spew out scorching waves with enormous power."

Use!

Su Chen selected it without hesitation.

In the next moment, the circulation route of the Great Fireball Technique was deeply engraved in his mind, as though he had cultivated it himself.

Then Su Chen began selecting other techniques.

"Illusory God Art, high-level Heaven Rank technique! Cultivate!"

"Heaven Splitting Swordplay, mid-level Emperor Tier technique! Cultivate!"

"God Devouring Nine Slashes, third-grade Immortal Rank technique! Cultivate!"

"..."

Su Chen selected and cultivated nearly a hundred techniques in total. A small portion was below Heaven Rank, while most were Saint Rank and Immortal Rank techniques.

Only then did he contentedly close the system space.

From now on, he would not need to rely solely on his physical body when killing people. He could also use these techniques. Although their effects were all the same, his style had risen by countless levels.

The Primordial Immortal Body was incomparably powerful. A casual punch was comparable to an Immortal Rank technique, but it was too simple and direct, and his methods were not flashy enough.

Since he was already invincible, shouldn't he pursue a little flair?
