Secret Scroll of the Demonic Sect: Heavenly Demon Zen Seal Method

Su Mansion

Inside the secret chamber.

Su Chen was consuming enhanced Qi and Blood Pills to increase his body's tempering.

Beneath his loose robes, Su Chen's muscles writhed and collided before returning to stillness.

The Vajra Primordial Force strengthened the physical body without altering its form, while the Vajra Demon Splitter Cultivation Method involved the collision of Qi and blood, causing the body to enter a state of muscle expansion. It utilized Qi and blood to propel the bones, changing one's physique.

This was why his muscles were twisting and changing under his clothes.

The Vajra Primordial Force had reached the fifth level, currently refining flesh and blood. At this stage, simple, minor wounds could heal rapidly.

As for the Vajra Demon Splitter Cultivation Method, he was still practicing the first level, but he could already execute the "Vajra Shattering Form" technique.

Currently, without using Qi and blood or internal energy, he could turn hard, broken stones into powder with just the strength of his palm.

After some time.

Su Chen slowly opened his eyes and exhaled a long breath.

"My physique hasn't changed, but my strength has increased significantly. Without using martial arts, relying solely on my fist, I can kill someone at the Early Innate Stage with one punch if they don't dodge."

Su Chen mused inwardly.

With that, he stood up. It was late, and he still had to meet Shangguan Ziyun.

Time passed too quickly while cultivating internal energy, so he decided not to cultivate further.

He opened the stone door.

A young man was dozing outside the stone door. He immediately woke up upon hearing the sound of the door opening.

"Xiao Wu, why are you here?"

Su Chen asked, somewhat confused.

"Steward Fu told me to guard here and report to him immediately if Young Master emerged from seclusion,"

the young man replied at once.

"Alright, then go inform Steward Fu to come to the study. I'll wait for him there!"

Su Chen headed towards the study.

Someone guarding here likely meant something had happened.

Not long after.

Steward Fu arrived at the study.

"Young Master, people from Zitan Palace have arrived in Qingcheng City. There are three of them."

Steward Fu said after entering.

"The Mu Family from Zitan Palace has arrived in Qingcheng City, and they've come to our Su Mansion?"

Su Chen asked.

In the past, people from Zitan Palace always stayed at the Su Mansion, which was why he asked.

"They haven't come to the Su Mansion this time. They've rented a small courtyard not far from us. While you were cultivating, they sent someone to say they would visit our Su Mansion tomorrow morning."

Steward Fu replied.

"Who are these three people?"

Although Su Mengbai had connections with Zitan Palace, Su Chen's memory of their people was unclear.

"It's Mu Chenfeng, the third master of the Mu Family. Rumor has it his strength is at the Mid Refining Soul Realm. Then there's the legitimate daughter, Mu Qingxue, and the Vajra Iron Fist, Du Feiwu."

Steward Fu stated.

"Mid Refining Soul Realm? Could that be the person Bai Tianyu encountered today?"

Su Chen thought to himself.

Bai Tianyu had sensed a Refining Soul Realm expert when he was destroying Lei Hall today.

Judging by the current situation, it was likely this third master of the Mu Family.

"But they said they'll come to see me tomorrow. What could they want?"

Su Chen frowned slightly.

He was no longer the master of the Golden Wind Fine Rain Tower.

Logically, he should hold no value to Zitan Palace, so there was no reason for them to seek him out.

"I understand this matter. Steward Fu, please arrange the reception according to the usual standards?" Su Chen nodded.

If he could interact with Zitan Palace, he was willing to do so.

At this moment, elsewhere.

Qin Hao and the others left the inn and returned to the courtyard where they had stayed previously.

Qin Hao and Qin Tianhan, having recovered some of their injuries, sat in the main hall.

"Second Young Master, that Bai Tianyu was invited down the mountain by Ling Tianhe. As for attacking the Lei Family, it was Su Chen who offered Bai Tianyu and Ling Tianhe the position of Golden Wind Fine Rain Tower Lord as a price to destroy the Lei Family and Lei Hall."

"There isn't much information about Bai Tianyu yet. I haven't found anything."

"However, information about the Blood Demon Flower has already spread, and people from the Yang Family have appeared at the Gathering of Sages Hall."

The sinister old man said, bowing.

"With the Yang Family appearing at the Gathering of Sages Hall, it seems I need to make a trip to the Canteen Hall!"

Qin Tianhan said.

Besides the official forces in Qingcheng City, there are five major powers. The Buddhist Vajra Temple is a bit special.

Of the other four major powers, Lei Hall has already been destroyed by the Golden Wind Fine Rain Tower. The Gathering of Sages Hall has been in contact with the Yang Family. If he wants to know more about Qingcheng City now, he can only try to contact the Canteen Hall.

"Second Brother, that Blood Demon Flower still needs a large amount of Void-Empty Ore to be fully ripened. Currently, the Void-Empty Ore in Qingcheng City is in the hands of the Golden Wind Fine Rain Tower. You should try to contact them."

Qin Hao said.

"Golden Wind Fine Rain Tower, I'll go see them after I visit the Canteen Hall!"

Qin Tianhan said.

"Elder Lu, you stay here to protect Third Brother. I'm going to the Canteen Hall now!"

Qin Tianhan stood up.

Then, with a grab, he took the flag from the man behind him into his hand.

He walked out of the hall and disappeared into the night.

"Third Young Master, take me to the secret room to take a look. I'll also investigate to see if there are any clues left by the murderer."

The sinister old man said, bowing.

"Follow me!"

Qin Hao nodded.

Although his face was still pale, his expression had recovered somewhat.

Late at night.

The moon was bright and the stars were few. Behind the rockery in the backyard, in the bamboo forest.

When he stepped into the bamboo forest, Shangguan Ziyun, dressed in purple, or rather, Zi Hanyue, was already waiting for him there.

Under the mottled starlight, a gentle breeze stirred her purple robes.

Looking at her back, her slender figure could make one's eyes linger.

However, her figure was somewhat different from the Shangguan Ziyun he had seen before.

Is Shangguan Ziyun not Zi Hanyue? Su Chen thought, but then dismissed the idea.

She must have a way to change her appearance, otherwise, she wouldn't be Su Mengbai's second wife openly.

Her face must also be different.

Su Chen calmed himself down, stepped forward, and stopped not far from the figure, looking at her back, he asked, "Should I call you Second Madam, or Saintess Zi Hanyue of the Cold Moon Sect?"

"It seems it really was you with Liu Wumei in Qin Cui Mountain. You've made everyone underestimate you."

Zi Hanyue turned around.

However, she was wearing a purple veil that covered the lower half of her face.

From her facial structure, it didn't resemble Shangguan Ziyun's face.

As for whether it was Zi Hanyue's true face, Su Chen couldn't confirm.

However, from her words, Su Chen confirmed his previous guess. The Northern Commandery's plan was likely for this Zi Hanyue.

"I don't know why you, Miss Zi, have asked me to come here?"

Su Chen asked directly.

They weren't familiar with each other, so there was no need for small talk; they should get straight to the point.

"Su Chen, do you know why my Cold Moon Sect has been pursued by the Great Zhou all this time?"

Su Chen wanted to get straight to the point, but Zi Hanyue started talking about this instead.

"The Cold Moon Sect was founded by a princess of the Great Chu. Isn't it normal for the Great Zhou to hunt you down?"

Su Chen asked.

"The Great Chu has been destroyed for three hundred years. My Cold Moon Sect poses no threat to the current Great Zhou."

"They are still pursuing us, not to exterminate us, but for the five secret locations left behind by the Great Chu Empire back then, which our sect possesses."

"Within the five secret locations lie the wealth and treasures left behind during the Great Chu Empire's thousand-year reign."

"Martial arts, elixirs, money, etc.! Everything is there. Whoever obtains one of them can ascend to heaven in a single step!"

Zi Hanyue said softly to Su Chen.

The voice carried a seductive tone, attempting to disrupt Su Chen's soul.

Unbeknownst to him, Zi Hanyue, who was before Su Chen's eyes, began to change. Her figure became alluring, her purple attire turned black, and her entire being seemed poised to dance.

[Host has learned secret information about the Great Chu Empire. Reward: Demonic Sect Secret Scroll: Heavenly Demon Zen Seal Method, 5 White Draw Cards.]

Just as his soul was becoming hazy.

The sound of rewards appeared.

Su Chen's mind instantly jolted, his face showing shock.
