Slaying the Tiger Demon, Cause and Effect!

Su Xian's speed was incredibly fast, fully unleashing the might of the Bone Tempering realm.

One slash after another, combined with the precious saber in his hand, severed the limbs of the Tiger Demon before him.

"Roar!"

The Tiger Demon cried out in pain, letting out a deafening tiger roar.

Within the Liu Family, everyone heard the roar and trembled with fear.

At the same time, they worried in their hearts about Su Xian. If he couldn't get rid of this demon, their Liu Family would be in trouble later.

"Tell me, who sent you to deal with the Liu Family?"

Su Xian looked at the fierce tiger whose limbs he had severed and asked coldly.

Afterward, Su Xian flicked the blood off his saber and placed it at the Tiger Demon's neck.

"Wait, wait, wait, I'll talk, I'll talk!" the Tiger Demon quickly begged for mercy.

"The Black Tiger Gang leader invited me!"

The Tiger Demon readily revealed the person behind him.

Su Xian frowned upon hearing this. He had long heard that the Black Tiger Gang was colluding with the Demon Race, but he hadn't expected that some of the Demon Race would be working for them.

The Black Tiger Gang was the largest gang in Blackwater County, and its leader was a strong cultivator in the Viscera Nourishing Realm. It was impossible to fight him head-on!

"The Black Tiger Gang leader? Why is he targeting the Liu Family?"

Su Xian asked doubtfully. Logically speaking, a family like the Liu Family shouldn't have much that a Viscera Nourishing Realm expert would covet.

And why didn't he act personally, needing a demon instead?

"I don't know either. He just told me to come to the Liu Family and kill someone every night. I was bored at the Black Tiger Gang's stronghold, so I agreed," the Tiger Demon shook its head frantically.

"How many demons is the Black Tiger Gang leader colluding with?"

Su Xian asked again, wanting to take this opportunity to understand the Black Tiger Gang's specific strength.

"I don't know about that. I only know that the Mountain Lord is very close to him, and he provides some Blood Food to the mountain every month," the Tiger Demon said, its face turning pale.

"Mountain Lord?"

Su Xian was puzzled. Based on the information he had, although there were demons in the Viscera Nourishing Realm on Green Dragon Mountain, no demon dared to call themselves the Mountain Lord.

"Yes, the Lord of Azure Dragon Mountain. He is a demon of the Aperture Opening Realm! He has vast divine abilities! As soon as he arrived, he subdued the various demons on Green Dragon Mountain, making them respect him."

The Tiger Demon explained, a trace of lingering fear flashing across its face.

When the Lord of Azure Dragon Mountain arrived, and subdued the various demons on Green Dragon Mountain, he had witnessed it firsthand. He had defeated the leaders of the four major demon tribes in just four moves. His strength was terrifying!

"So? I've told you so much, can you let me go?"

The Tiger Demon looked at Su Xian and asked softly.

Although its limbs were now severed, the wounds were very clean.

As long as they were reattached immediately, it could still move freely, although it would be weaker than before.

"Aperture Opening Realm!"

Su Xian's brows furrowed upon hearing this. The Aperture Opening Realm was the realm after the Viscera Nourishing Realm!

There wasn't a single expert of this level in Blackwater County or the surrounding counties.

To think that there was one on Green Dragon Mountain!

To think that the Black Tiger Gang was connected to such a powerful expert.

Su Xian looked at the fierce tiger before him.

After a moment of contemplation, he severed its head with a single saber strike.

Letting this Tiger Demon live was impossible. Although he had completely hidden his identity for now, he didn't want to let a tiger return to the mountain.

[Killed a late third-grade Tiger Demon, gained 168 years of Remaining Lifespan.]

After checking the demon's Remaining Lifespan, Su Xian's lips curled up.

He hadn't expected this Tiger Demon to have 168 years of Remaining Lifespan; it was somewhat beyond his expectations.

"Could it be that this Tiger Demon has great talent?" Su Xian thought to himself.

Su Xian walked to the outside of the Liu Family Patriarch's room and said softly, "Alright, you can come out now. I've already killed the demon."

Although his voice was light, the Liu Family Patriarch inside heard it clearly.

Their entire family was hiding underground in the room. Upon hearing this, they all showed happy smiles.

He then opened the ground door, trembling, and walked out.

Opening the room door and looking at the blood-stained treasure blade in Su Xian's hand, The head of the Liu family trembled, then quickly stepped forward and said:

"Thank you, benefactor, for your help! Where is the deceased demon race?"

Su Xian looked at the Liu family members in front of him, then pointed with his blade.

"Over there, you can go and see."

The Liu family members all walked towards where Su Xian pointed upon hearing this.

The head of the Liu family did so even more, as he desperately wished to see the culprit who had been slaughtering his family for the past few days brought to justice!

He was already impatient.

Su Xian walked behind them, looking at the Liu family members in front of him, his doubts undiminished.

Did this group of people really have something worth coveting from the Black Tiger Gang leader?

Seeing the giant tiger corpse in the courtyard and its lifeless, staring eyes, the Liu family members felt a great sense of relief.

Some even boldly walked up to the tiger corpse and kicked it twice, as if to vent their anger.

The patriarch, Liu Xuan, looked at the tiger corpse, and his taut nerves finally relaxed.

Such a massive body could not belong to an ordinary tiger; it was definitely a demon!

"Thank you, benefactor! Thank you for your help! Three thousand taels of silver will be delivered immediately!"

Liu Xuan quickly looked back at Su Xian and cupped his fists in thanks!

Su Xian nodded slightly, and soon, 3,500 taels of silver notes were brought by Liu Xuan and handed to Su Xian.

"Please accept this, sir. This treasure blade is also gifted to you as a token of our gratitude."

Su Xian did not refuse; he indeed needed a treasure blade.

As for the 3,500 taels of silver notes, one could only say that Liu Xuan knew how to handle things.

Before leaving, Su Xian pulled out the tiger demon's claws and its mouthful of sharp teeth, and put them away.

These tiger claws and sharp teeth were extremely sharp, no less than precious metal.

He could find an opportunity in the future to forge them into his blade, which would enhance the sharpness and sturdiness of the blade.

"Brother Ye Fan, can you escort our entire family to Linyuan County?"

Liu Xuan said as Su Xian was about to leave.

"Tell me, why are you going to Linyuan County?"

Su Xian did not answer Liu Xuan immediately but looked at him and said calmly.

"This..." Liu Xuan hesitated slightly, and after considering for a long time, he said:

"To be honest, our Liu family has an ancestral painting, the Fierce Tiger Descending Mountain Map. Legend has it that it contains the secret to breaking through the Viscera Nourishing Realm!"

"But our Liu family hasn't been able to comprehend anything from this painting over the years."

"And our Liu family has always kept this painting a secret, but for some reason, the news leaked out a while ago."

"The Black Tiger Gang leader wanted to forcibly seize this painting, but we refused."

"After that, someone from our Liu family was killed by this demon every night."

"..."

After listening to Liu Xuan's words, Su Xian understood the whole story.

It seemed that the Black Tiger Gang leader wanted this painting to help him break through the Viscera Nourishing Realm.

And the tiger demon did not know the reason behind this matter.

It was likely that the Black Tiger Gang leader was not genuinely cooperating with the Lord of Azure Dragon Mountain.

Thinking about the cause and effect of the matter, Su Xian couldn't help but shake his head.

The Black Tiger Gang leader was still incompetent; he wanted to use pressure to make the Liu family willingly hand over the painting.

This was the mindset of a superior, and it seemed the Black Tiger Gang leader was accustomed to being a superior in Blackwater County.

"I can agree to escort you to Linyuan County, but we must leave Blackwater County before sunrise."

Su Xian looked at Liu Xuan and said calmly.

Speed is of the essence. Now that he had killed the tiger demon, the matter would be exposed sooner or later.

If they delayed any longer, the Liu family would not be able to get out of Blackwater County.

Only by leaving Blackwater County quickly, at a speed that the Black Tiger Gang could not react to, was the only way for the Liu family to survive.
