Living to fifty depends on fate; compared to Great Xia, Nether Abyss Demon Court is indeed a golden land. I just wonder what the other regions of Great Xia are like.

Su Ye pondered briefly and continued, "According to you, Nether Abyss Demon Court is going to attack Yunzhou, and your wife even knows this battle is certain to be won."

"How would she know, and have such confidence? Is the Great Xia imperial court just for show?"

"This..." Lord Zhang stammered for a long time, his expression bewildered. "She didn't say, but she seemed very certain about taking Yunzhou."

"What is the relationship between the Mountain Ghost and your wife?"

"Mountain Ghost... my wife vaguely mentioned it once, saying she was fattening it up to offer to a Lord of the Nether Abyss Demon Court, which would bring many benefits."

"What do you mean by that?" Su Ye asked.

Lord Zhang wore a bitter expression. Although his family was well-off, the foundation of their business had developed to its current scale entirely thanks to his wife's management.

He usually let her do as she pleased, never asking too many questions, nor daring to interfere too much. Letting her have her way had long become a habit.

Now, facing Su Ye's questions, he could only answer vaguely, "This, this I don't know either."

Seeing this, Su Ye raised his hand and slapped him. "Take me to see your wife."

Lord Zhang clutched his swollen, fat face, somewhat bewildered. However, hearing the unquestionable tone in Su Ye's voice, he immediately dared not retort and quickly led the way.

Not long after, in the backyard of the Zhang residence, Lord Zhang frantically searched for his wife and bumped into a middle-aged man in his forties dressed as a steward.

"Old Tang, come here. Where is your wife?"

Steward Tang quickly walked up to Su Ye and cupped his hands towards Lord Zhang. "Master, the Madam was just in the bedroom."

"How long ago was 'just now'? When did she leave the bedroom? Did you see?" Lord Zhang grabbed the steward's collar, asking urgently.

"How would I know, you fatso."

"You!" The words instantly enraged Lord Zhang, and just as he was about to lash out, he saw a sharp dagger pierce directly through his heart.

Steward Tang casually tossed Lord Zhang's corpse aside, glanced at Su Ye with a playful look, and said, "Kid, if you had come a few days later..."

"Perhaps you could have kept your life. As for tonight, you're probably doomed."

Tang Li had been the steward of Zhang Manor for several years. He had always disguised himself; in secret, he was a leader of the Blood Lotus Cult. As for Madam Zhang, she was also a member of the Blood Lotus Cult, and Lord Zhang was merely a puppet they placed in the open.

Su Ye was also somewhat surprised by the sudden turn of events. Although he didn't know the identity of the person before him, he had already sensed the strong killing intent.

"Who are you?" Su Ye's voice was cold.

As soon as he spoke, a woman in her thirties walked out of the previously empty bedroom.

The woman's face was fierce, and she said coldly, "Tang Li, don't talk nonsense. Deal with this person first. After midnight tomorrow, we can leave this place."

"Your subordinate obeys."

Tang Li responded, then darted forward, his dagger aimed at Su Ye's heart.

Seeing this, Su Ye moved his body slightly, the Ghost Head Saber held horizontally across his chest.

With a "clang" of metal clashing, Su Ye lifted his leg and swept it out horizontally.

Facing Su Ye's powerful and heavy side kick, Tang Li dared not be careless. He quickly crossed his hands to protect his chest, then felt a mighty force surge through his arms.

"Bang!"

His body flew out dozens of meters. Tang Li suddenly spat out a large mouthful of blood, his eyes filled with horror. "This person has such formidable body-refining skills."

The woman standing outside the door had been walking leisurely since she came out of the house, appearing very calm.

If you find this book good, remember to add it to your bookshelf to avoid losing it next time.

But at this moment, her expression changed drastically. She continuously formed hand seals, and the floor inside the house instantly cracked open, revealing a dark cave three meters long and three meters wide.

Tang Li suddenly retreated rapidly and sneered, "Kid, you're dead."

As soon as he finished speaking, bursts of breaking wind sounds came from the bedroom behind the woman, followed by more than a dozen humanoid black shadows of varying heights, roaring as they lunged at Su Ye.

Su Ye had already noticed the woman's strangeness and had secretly prepared to deal with it. The moment these Mountain Ghosts appeared...

He planted the Ghost Head Saber on the ground. Since integrating the "Blood Fiend Sky-Severing Stele" fragments, his physical fitness had already undergone a qualitative leap. Now was the time to test the results.

He swung his fists rapidly, accompanied by the sound of air explosions. His punches were fierce, like thunder.

The Mountain Ghosts that lunged at him were like paper, exploding into bloody mist the moment they collided with his fists. As time passed, the ground was already covered with a thick layer of blood.

"Bang!"..."Bang!"

The scene caused the woman's face to change drastically. As an external enforcer of the Blood Lotus Cult, she had experienced many storms, if not large-scale battles. However, the killing methods of the person before her were truly too brutal.

In his hands, no corpse was intact. The scattered flesh and debris on the ground, as well as the blood-splattered wreckage of the surrounding buildings, all stimulated her brain.

The woman's name was Chen Qing. Her face was pale, and she called out, "Quick, let's go! This person's strength is too terrifying; we can't handle him."

The two turned and fled without any hesitation. Su Ye merely glanced at them out of the corner of his eye and didn't pay them any mind. Inwardly, he communicated with his sea of consciousness and then continued his unfinished slaughter.

Half an hour later, the dozens of Mountain Ghosts that had rushed out of the house earlier were now evenly smeared across the bluestone slabs.

[Killed: Meridian Opening Mid-stage · Mountain Ghost, gained 75 Assistance Points] [Killed: Late Body Tempering · Mountain Ghost, gained 38 Assistance Points]

The twenty-one Mountain Ghosts contributed nearly 1200 Assistance Points to Su Ye, which was enough to upgrade the "Blood Fiend Heaven Intercepting Palm," with even a considerable surplus. He ignored the mess on the ground.

Finding a small clearing that could barely accommodate him, Su Ye slowly opened his status panel.

His gaze quickly found the divine artifact tab, and Su Ye silently thought.

"System, add points."

Consuming 1000 Assistance Points, "Blood Fiend Heaven Intercepting Palm" reached beginner level.

The moment the text appeared, Su Ye felt the True Qi within him circulate uncontrollably, followed by his blood surging.

Faster and faster, his internal blood vessels and organs were at risk of not being able to withstand it. Suddenly, the erupting power began to change, tightening and solidifying, transforming into a black and red color.

"Blood Fiend State."

Su Ye had experienced this when he fused with the stone tablet fragments. Now, feeling the surging power within him again, he unconsciously channeled the Blood Fiend power.

The next moment, the black and red Blood Fiend seemed to find an outlet, heading straight for the major acupoints in both his hands. He felt no discomfort from this change; a sense of familiarity arose spontaneously. He pushed his palms upward.

Under the night sky, a palm shadow dozens of feet wide, colored black and red, shot out dozens of meters before suddenly emitting a massive roar.

The black and red ripples that covered an area of over ten li, just from the wind pressure they generated, caused widespread destruction to buildings several li below.

Su Ye's breathing was heavy. With his current strength, he could not yet unleash this palm technique completely.

This palm strike was his limit. He estimated that he could only use this Martial Skill twice a day before becoming completely exhausted. Although there were limitations, its power was truly terrifying.

He was only at Meridian Opening Layer Six, yet he could only unleash half of this palm technique, but its destructive power rivaled that of the late Aperture Opening realm.

The Blood Fiend power returned to normal. Su Ye stood up and, following the location Big Black had given him, headed straight north of Chaiqiao Town.

Outside a small courtyard north of the town, Big Black wore a sinister grin. "Boss, those two scumbags are still trying to play the 'hiding in plain sight' trick."
