Su Xiuyong Captured

Su Xiuyong raised his hand and waved, sending a stream of spiritual energy into the Rogue Cultivator's body, helping him Rogue Cultivator the chaotic energy surging within.

The Rogue Cultivator landed slowly, and his complexion improved significantly in an instant.

He sat down against the wall, staring at the burly cultivator with eyes full of resentment.

Su Xiuyong said, "Fellow Daoist, my clansman acted rashly just now and offended many people. Please forgive him."

The Rogue Cultivator glared at him, somewhat oblivious to the danger.

"Stop pretending, you're all cut from the same cloth."

Su Xiuyong was not angry and continued to speak calmly.

"I am Su Xiuyong, the fifth elder of the Su Clan, in charge of all matters in the Northern Lands Market. On behalf of the Su Clan, I assure you, fellow Daoist, that what just happened will never happen again. If you tell me the location of the Yellow Essence Fungus, I can pay you five thousand Spirit Stones."

Upon hearing Rogue Cultivator, the rogue cultivator's eyes gleamed with golden light, filled with eagerness; he was clearly tempted.

Five thousand Spirit Stones is undoubtedly a huge fortune for a Qi Refining at the second level of Rogue Cultivator.

Are you telling the truth?

"Of course! Is the reputation of my Su Clan not worth five thousand Spirit Stones?"

The Rogue Cultivator's eyes darted around, and after a moment, he got up from the ground.

"No, five thousand Spirit Stones is too little; that's for over a thousand second-tier spirit medicine."

"Eight thousand..."

"No! Ten thousand..."

"Give me ten thousand Spirit Stones, and I'll take you to retrieve the Yellow Essence Fungus."

The Rogue Cultivator realized that those second-tier spirit medicine must be very valuable, so he made an outrageous demand, asking for an exorbitant price.

Su Xiuyong smiled and said, "Okay."

Upon hearing this, the Rogue Cultivator was overjoyed and continued to make demands.

"You need to give me the Spirit Stones first."

"Can!"

Su Xiuyong turned to the servant beside him and said, "Go and fetch ten thousand Spirit Stones."

A moment later, the servant came over carrying a Storage Bag.

Su Xiuyong gestured to the servant to give the Storage Bag to the Rogue Cultivator.

The Rogue Cultivator, after examining the Storage Bag with his spiritual power, immediately beamed with joy.

He tucked the Storage Bag into his robes, straightened his clothes so that no one could tell he was carrying anything, and then looked up at Su Xiuyong.

"Let's go, I'll take you to get the Yellow Essence Fungus."

Su Xiuyong did not answer the Rogue Cultivator, but instead looked at the burly cultivator beside him.

"Su You, why don't you go with him?"

The burly cultivator named Su You was about to walk out of the shop when he heard the Rogue Cultivator shout.

"No, he can't go."

Then, the Rogue Cultivator pointed at Su Xiuyong, "You're coming with me. I'm afraid he'll retaliate against me."

Su Xiuyong stared intently at the Rogue Cultivator, remaining silent, and a powerful sense of oppression arose spontaneously.

"Oh no, I've aroused his suspicion," the Rogue Cultivator thought to himself.

This Rogue Cultivator was actually Song Wen in disguise; he originally intended to lure Su Xiuyong out of the market before making his move.

However, this person was overly cautious and actually sent his own clansmen to retrieve the Yellow Essence Fungus.

Since the other party has become suspicious, we have no choice but to take action.

With a thought, two green-faced, fanged zombies suddenly appeared.

It was a pseudo-third-tier Silver Corpse and Early Second Rank Copper Corpse that hadn't been used for a long time.

As soon as the two corpses appeared, the entire store was filled with a surge of corpse energy and a howling of Sha Qi aura.

The Copper Corpse lunged at the burly cultivator Su You, while the Silver Corpse struck at Su Xiuyong with lightning speed.

A flicker of panic crossed Su Xiuyong's eyes. Red Silk floated out from his body, Red Silk and twisting like Flood Dragon emerging from the sea, coiling towards the Silver Corpse.

Su Xiuyong remained vigilant towards this suddenly appearing Qi Refinement Second Level of Rogue Cultivator.

Su Xiuyong had anticipated that the other party was hiding their cultivation level, but the fact that the other party actually possessed a pseudo-third-tier Silver Corpse was far beyond his expectations.

Fortunately, he was prepared.

Four Foundation Establishment Realm cultivators stood in the courtyard behind the shop, forming hand Method Formula. Four flying swords, like meteors, slashed towards Song Wen, who was separated by a wall.

The shops are the first to suffer.

The walls, which had been specially reinforced by the Su Clan, were easily pierced by the four flying swords, and the walls collapsed instantly, followed by the roof.

A tall Ghost Banner, ten feet high, suddenly appeared in front of Song Wen.

A red-faced, red-haired ghost leaped out from the Ghost Banner; it was none other than the red-haired ghost general at the late stage of the second tier.

The red-haired demon general stirred up a gust of cold wind, which swept towards the four flying swords.

Blood mist emanated from Song Wen's body, and his figure vanished abruptly, striking towards Su Xiuyong like a ghost.

After releasing the Red Silk, Su Xiuyong knew that it wouldn't be able to hold off the Red Silk Silver Corpse for long, so he hurriedly rushed towards the building in the backyard.

The building is protected by a formation; as long as it can hold out for a while, reinforcements from Clearpeace Mountain will arrive.

"Great Cavern Divine Thunder, Strike!"

Song Wen, who was speeding along, suddenly let out a soft exclamation.

Suddenly, the sky was filled with wind and clouds, with layers of dark clouds piling up together. A dazzling silver light pierced through the clouds and headed straight for Su Xiuyong.

A flying sword appeared above Su Xiuyong's head, its Sword-Ray gleaming as it slashed at the divine lightning falling from the sky.

"Boom!"

Divine lightning struck the flying sword.

The flying sword was knocked away and plunged into the ground below.

Song Wen's cultivation level was ultimately weaker, and the power of the Great Cavern Divine Thunder was not particularly strong. After slicing down the flying sword, the lightning was also completely exhausted.

Su Xiuyong kept his head down and continued running towards the building's entrance. Just as the entrance was within reach, he suddenly staggered, spat out a mouthful of blood, and his speed decreased sharply.

A whooshing sound came from behind—it was that third-tier Silver Corpse!

The Red Silk, a mid-grade spiritual Spirit Artifact, was forcibly torn to shreds by the Silver Corpse in just a breath or two. The destruction of the Spirit Artifact caused Su Xiuyong considerable internal injuries.

The Silver Corpse was even faster than Song Wen, catching up to Su Xiuyong first.

Su Xiuyong was instantly terrified and shouted, "Help me!"

Ahead of him, five afterimages raced like lightning, showing no sign of stopping their rescue efforts, and darted straight into the building.

Instantly, a transparent light shield rose up, enveloping the entire building.

It turned out that the four Foundation Establishment cultivators, seeing that the situation was not good, used their flying swords to temporarily repel the red-haired ghost general, and then turned around and ran towards the building.

Su You was in the same situation. The Copper Corpse at the Early Second Rank was no match for him. After defeating the Copper Corpse, seeing the ferocity of the Silver Corpse, he disregarded any kinship and turned to flee towards the building.

Su Xiuyong was immediately plunged into despair.

A cold glint flashed before the Silver Corpse could reach it, piercing straight through Su Xiuyong's chest.

Terrified by the Silver Corpse, Su Xiuyong failed to notice the sneak attack from the Cold Moon Blade, which struck him squarely.

The powerful force of the Cold Moon Blade carried his body several meters away, landing right outside the building's main entrance.

Su Xiuyong looked up at the five clansmen inside the array barrier, his eyes filled with resentment.

A figure flashed by with a burst of lightning. Song Wen grabbed Su Xiuyong, retrieved the two Corpse Puppets and the Eight-Banner Yin Soul Banner, and flew away from the market on his sword.

The Sacred Beetle Gu that he had scattered throughout the market early in the morning sent word that the Su Clan's reinforcements were about to arrive.

As soon as Song Wen flew into the air, he noticed a figure rushing towards him from more than ten miles away on the horizon. The figure was much faster than Song Wen, who was using the Thunder Escape Technique.

The visitor was none other than Su Anping, the head of the Su Clan.
