BXBX NOVEL Chapter 165 - Su Family In Danger
Chapter 165: Su Family In Danger
“You…”
The Wolf leader’s jaw dropped as he stared at Li Mu. His eyes were full of fear.
A True Realm master!
The Wolves had no chance of resisting.
He felt a chill from the bottom of his heart.
His entire body felt frozen in place.
The remaining Wolves were also trembling in fear. They knew that they were doomed.
“Even if you don’t tell me, I know how search your soul. And trust me, that’s going to be a painful death.”
Li Mu’s cold words felt like knives stabbing the heart of the Wolf orc leader.
“I… I’ll tell you!”
A few minutes later, Li Mu was pouring water over the corpse of the Wolf leader.
He then called for Liu Xiu, who was still in a daze, and left the area.
“I may be miscalculated,” he said as the pair were walking away. “I didn’t think that we would have to stay here. Thankfully I managed to get some news about Xu Fang and the others.”
Li Mu had realized that the Viper Clan’s blood was concealing the scent of Xu Fang and the others.
This meant that the Viper Clan had been injured by the sword qi that he had left in Xu Fang’s body.
He would go to the Viper Clan first.
He grabbed Liu Xiu’s hand and was a little surprised to find it so cold and lifeless. He silently transferred some true qi to her.
Two days later, Li Mu arrived at the Viper Clan’s territory. He managed to capture few orcs from the Viper Clan to interrogate.
He quickly learned that something serious happened to the Viper Clan in the past few months and several elders had been killed by the Su Family.
Otherwise, nothing major happened in the Viper Clan.
“The place where the Viper Clan was attacked is the same place where the Wolf said that Xu Fang’s scent disappeared. But the Viper Clan doesn’t have any humans. I’ve already asked so many of them. Maybe they really don’t have them.”
If it wasn’t the Viper Clan, who could it be?
Where were Xu Fang and the others?
“Should I capture another man from the Viper Clan and ask him?” Li Mu thought to himself.
Two days later, Li Mu caught another orc from the Viper Clan.
“Senior, I really don’t know! We’ve just been busy attacking the Su Familu for the last three months. Three months ago, because of the news in the Land of Demon Slayers, we sent a large number of masters to look for Li Mu’s whereabouts. That’s why we mistakenly attacked the Su Family. Other than that, we have never touched any other humans.” The man from the Viper Clan begged for mercy.
“Is this true?”
“Of course it’s true! Now that the human race is so powerful, we would never dare to offend the human race!”
Li Mu shook his head. “I don’t believe you. I wouldn’t put it past you to secretly kill a few humans.” He mercilessly killed the orc from the Viper Clan.
If he had a spirit dog, perhaps he could have found the three women by now.
“The Su Family?”
The Viper Clan had been fighting against the Su family recently.
The Viper Clan’s territory was nearby, and the Su Family of Wuqin City was located at the edge of the Viper Clan’s territory.
After running around for several days, Li Mu was still in peak condition. But Liu Xiu’s physical and mental fatigue had begun to set in.
If they didn’t take a break, she would probably collapse.
Anyway, since they were going to the human’s turf to rest, they might as well go to Wuqin City to take a look!
In the city of Wuqin…
Li Mu found a courtyard.
When Liu Xiu saw that they were surrounded by humans, she finally began to relax.
When she realized that Li Mu intended to stay here for a while, she immediately fell asleep on the bed.
The atmosphere in Wuqin City was solemn.
Li Mu walked to the inn and asked for two pots of wine. He listened to the conversation among the patrons.
“The Su Family is done for.”
“Initially, the Su Family had the fifth True Realm master from the human race to protect them. The appearance of Li Mu seemed to deter other clans from attacking them. But the family owns the Glacial Grass, and that attracts the other clans to attack.”
“What a horrible fate! Not only are they located at the edge of the Viper Clan’s territory, but now the Vipers have a reason to attack them. How will the Viper Clan let the Su Family have a chance to become more powerful?”
“That’s not necessarily true. I just saw the Xiang Family from the West coming over. With the support of the Xiang Family, it will be harder for the Viper Clan to defeat the Su Family.”
“Doesn’t the Xiang Family only have a few masters? How are they a match for the Viper Clan?”
“Don’t forget that the Su Family used a similar tactic to feign weakness. The elders from the Viper Clan all died under the powerful sword repairers of the Su Family. Everyone, think about it. The Su Family, who has always relied on their boxing skills, suddenly has sword repairers. Who knows what trump cards the Su Family has in hand?”
“Hmmm, you’re right. Does the Su Family have any other trump cards?”
“Who knows? Before that, everyone thought that the Su Family only had boxers. Who knew where they got sword repairers at such a critical moment?”
…
Li Mu slowly put down his flask.
The Su Family relied mainly on their boxing skills, but suddenly sword repairers had appeared and killed several elders of the Viper Clan.
This was the same news that he had heard from the man from the Viper Clan before.
Sword repairers had suddenly appeared?
Whoosh!
Li Mu flew over to the Su Family.
He had a strong feeling that Xu Fang and the others might be in the Su Family’s house.
The powerful sword repairers of the Su Family might be the result of the sword qi left behind in the bodies of the girls.
Li Mu’s figure appeared in the sky above Su Family’s house and he used his divine consciousness to scan his surroundings.
After a while, his eyes lit up with surprise.
He was right… He could finally be at ease.
But then, Li Mu’s face turned solemn.
In the grand hall of Su Family’s house…
“Thank you, Brother Xiang, for agreeing. I don’t know what conditions the people from the Viper Clan want. Our Su Family can try to buy some Glacial Grass and give it to them,” said Elder Su as he clutched his chest.
“Huh! The Viper Clan’s requirements are simple. They hope that the Su Family will hand over those sword repairers.”
“Impossible! Handing over the sword repairers will destroy the Su Family. That’ll just make it easier for the Viper Clan to destroy us.” Elder Su slammed his fist on the table. “We can’t just hand them over. If we do so, we’ll die.”
“Brother Su, please calm down. I’m just a messenger.”
“Brother Xiang, you should know that it’s impossible for the Su Family to agree to such a condition. We’ll trouble you to help us renegotiate again. The Su family is very grateful for this,” Patriarch Su bowed.
“Brother Su, you’re making things very difficult for me. The Viper Clan isn’t someone that’s easy to talk to.”
Elder Xiang was put on a spot.
The purpose of coming here to support Wuqin City was to show the world how benevolent and righteous their Xiang Family was.
Now that they were here, they didn’t really care if the Su Family survived. That had little to do with him and his family.
In fact, it would be great if he could take advantage of this situation and get some of the Su Family’s treasures.
Since the Su Family was going to perish, it was better if they gave them to the Xiang Family than the enemy.
“The Su Family still has 20,000 prenatal stones. Brother Xiang, please help us.”
“I have already tried my best.”
Elder Xiang narrowed his eyes.
They wanted to bribe them with 20,000 prenatal stones?
“I’ll add on another treasure too. Elder Xiang, please help us!”
“Okay, I’ll try!”
After Elder Xiang left, the Su Family treated the rest of the Xiang Family with hospitality.
Half a day later, in the Viper Clan’s cavern…
Elder Xiang played with the jade cicada in his hand, then shook his head.
“The Su Family will never hand over those sword repairers. After all, they;re the Su Family’s trump cards.”
“There are 200,000 prenatal stones here.”
An elder of the Viper Clan took out a storage bag.
“Elder Su is indeed seriously injured!”
Several elders of the Viper Clan glanced at each other with surprise in their eyes.
Then, they nodded.
One of them took out a storage bag and placed it in front of Elder Xiang.
“These are 300,000 prenatal stones.”
“As far as I know, there are no sword repairers in the Su Family. Maybe these people are outsiders…”
“Elder Xiang, if you destroy the Su Family, you will get a third of the Su Family’s wealth. In addition, the Su Family’s techniques will be yours. All we want is the Glacial Grass.”
“My people in the Su Family did hear that a few sword repairers had appeared out of the blue. But they seem to be seriously injured,” Elder Xiang said, but he didn’t elaborate further.
“Really?”
“You can check for yourself!”
After Elder Xiang finished speaking, he picked up the two storage bags and walked straight out of the cave to fly away.
“Damn that Xiang Family. I can’t wait to destroy them.”
“There’s no hurry. Let’s kill the Su Family first. Inform everyone. We will attack tomorrow,” said the Elder of the Viper Clan.
“Elder, don’t we need to verify the news from the Xiang Family first? Can we trust him? He’s a human after all.”
