The Immortal Wife Is Like A Cloud - Chapter 383: The Moonlight Remains
“Perhaps you could tell me which faction you belong to? I might be able to give you a quick and painless death.”
Su Jingzhen asked the four before making his move.
“You should know, I am the Chief Acolyte of the Evil Moon Sect.
I have a hand at torturing people. I can make you live, but I can make your life worse than death.”
As he spoke, a warm smile curled up on his lips, like a demon.
The four people were shocked and looked solemn.
But they didn’t give any response.
The four of them did not communicate with each other at all, and their eyes looked around the valley.
They came for profit, and now facing a life-or-death crisis, they didn’t intend to lose their lives here.
The thought of retreat filled their hearts.
Although if they continued to cooperate wholeheartedly and fight together, they might still have the chance to kill Su Jingzhen here.
But at the same time, they knew that continuing would only lead to more deaths.
It was even possible that only one or two would survive in the end.
No one wanted to sacrifice themselves for the sake of others.
So, in the face of imminent danger, scattering was their only choice.
As for whether they could escape, it was up to fate.
They didn’t communicate, but their thoughts were in perfect unison.
The Golden Core late-stage elder, looking at Su Jingzhen, sneered again: “You are overestimating yourself. Even if we lose three people, you are still not a match for us, a mere Body Cultivation is trash, it will always be trash!”
After this sarcastic remark, his aura became even more fierce.
With a movement of his hand seal, another huge phantom meteorite condensed from the void and smashed towards Su Jingzhen.
At the same time, his foot lightly tapped the stone in front of him.
A long sword suddenly appeared beneath him.
This old bastard, he actually used a magic weapon to take off and wanted to leave.
The other three beside him followed suit.
After throwing a powerful spell attack at Su Jingzhen, they all used their magic weapons to take off.
For Su Jingzhen at this time, the attacks of the four were too slow.
He took another step, leaving a phantom behind.
In an instant, he dodged the four attacks.
Watching the four fly out of the valley on their magic weapons, a sneer curled up on his lips.
“Hehe, you talk tough, but you run faster than anyone else.
Do you really think you can escape like this? You’re too naive.”
Let alone anything else, just in terms of speed, Su Jingzhen’s speed was unmatched among those of the same realm.
The blood energy within the Human Body Secret Repository erupted, gathering entirely at his feet. Following the path of the Netherworld Ghost Technique, he took another step and was already seven or eight zhang away.
Before the phantom disappeared, he had already taken several Phantom Steps in succession. This was the first time he had reached the top of the valley.
His heart remained on high alert. He hadn’t forgotten the five immortals from before.
However, as he climbed the mountaintop, he found it still empty.
The expected five immortals hadn’t appeared.
His surprise grew.
“Huh? They’re already gone?”
Su Jingzhen knew there was someone behind the five immortals, at least based on their abilities, they had no reason to fear him.
Moreover, even if he could escape today, the person controlling the five immortals would likely still be a threat.
This unexpected situation made him even more puzzled.
But his vigilance didn’t dissipate.
There must be a reason for this anomaly.
He couldn’t just let those guys escape.
In a way, Su Jingzhen was a man of his word.
If he said he would kill them, he would definitely do it.
Without hesitation, he continued to operate The Netherworld Ghost Technique, his feet jumping across the treetops of the forest canopy.
For short-distance pursuits, Phantom Step was much faster than flying on his magic weapon.
He quickly caught up to one of the Golden Core mid-stage cultivators.
He wasn’t afraid of being outnumbered, and even more so when facing a single opponent.
“Do you have to be so relentless?”
Seeing Su Jingzhen catch up to him so quickly, the Golden Core mid-stage cultivator’s face turned pale.
Fear was evident in his expression.
However, Su Jingzhen just smirked and said nothing.
He held the black brick and smashed it towards him.
In just one round, the Golden Core mid-stage cultivator turned into a corpse, falling into the forest below.
Who knows, maybe some beast would have a feast tonight.
Su Jingzhen didn’t hesitate and chased after the remaining three.
Chasing after Golden Core cultivators might be a bit more difficult, taking a bit more time, but for Su Jingzhen, it wasn’t too much of a challenge.
Half an hour later, Su Jingzhen returned to the valley where it all began.
The four Golden Core cultivators met their end without a surprise.
In truth, when they arrived in the valley driven by greed, their fate was already sealed.
But at this moment, Su Jingzhen frowned again.
“Who exactly was controlling those five guys in the shadows? Was it that Spiritual Cultivator who attacked the Dan Hall? But why did they retreat so suddenly?”
Su Jingzhen hadn’t sensed Shen Yifeng’s arrival at all, so he was still puzzled.
He spread his divine consciousness for a distance of a few miles, but found no trace.
He even retrieved the storage artifacts of the Golden Core cultivators, but besides a few low-grade magic weapons and two or three tens of thousands of low-grade spirit stones, there was nothing that could reveal their identities.
Several of them even carried the most basic storage pouches and did not bring their entire fortune with them.
Su Jingzhen shook his head, not wanting to dwell on it anymore.
He headed straight down the mountain.
The valley was less than ten miles from the Evil Moon Sect, which wasn’t a surprise to Su Jingzhen.
After all, the void passage created by the previous Five Ghosts Moving Mountains Technique wasn’t particularly advanced.
He soon returned to the Evil Moon Sect.
Instead of going back to his courtyard, he went straight to Luo Yuebai’s.
“Although there was a little incident, tonight the moon is still shining, it’s still a good night for cultivation…”
