In the city lord's mansion late at night, only one room still had lights on.
Xu Yue approached the house silently, and his spiritual consciousness gradually penetrated into it.
"How did you complete the task I gave you a few days ago?" A middle-aged man with a big belly sat on a large chair, half-squinting his eyes and looking at a man kneeling on the ground in front of him.
"The officers and soldiers above have been checking very hard recently and cannot reach the quantity required by your Majesty. I hope you will forgive me!" The man's body trembled inadvertently when he heard the man's voice.
He has deeply experienced the cruelty of the devil in front of him over the years. If he fails to meet his requirements, he will definitely suffer the most horrific punishment.
"Is that so..." The man picked up the wine glass he had put aside and threw it at the man.
The man was soaked with wine, but he didn't dare to move at all, for fear that his indifferent actions would arouse the man's anger.
"The investigation is tight? I kept your whole family just to hear your words, "The investigation is tight?" Continue arresting me! Within three days, no matter how far you send people to run, you must reach the amount for me! Unless..."
The man didn't say the rest of the words, but he knew exactly what the other person wanted to express. After taking a deep breath, the man said: "As commanded."
"You can get out now. Call them over after you get out!"
The man's body trembled again, he lowered his head and gritted his teeth and said, "Yes."
After exiting the room, the man's tense body relaxed a little. However, when he thought about what was going to happen next, his hands clenched into fists.
How many years have passed since everything about me, my wife and my daughter was ruined because of that guy in the house.
He had tried to resist countless times, but due to the other party's ghostly methods, his hopes were gradually eroded. Every time he resisted, his family was even more implicated.
"I didn't expect that I, the majestic lord of this city, would have to succumb to the hands of this evil devil for the rest of my life!"
Now, what else can he do? Is there any other way to get them out of this endless despair?
Suddenly, a figure appeared in front of his eyes.
He was a thin young man, and there was absolutely no information about this person in his memory.
"Who are you……"
Before the man could finish speaking, intense sleepiness swept over his brain. The next moment, the man collapsed weakly to the ground.
After putting the man to sleep, Xu Yue walked to the door and pushed it open.
"Two beauties, have you missed..." The man stood up from his chair with a smile on his face, but when he discovered that the visitor was a strange young man, the smile on his face immediately faded.
"Who allowed you to enter here without permission?" A strong murderous intent flashed in the man's eyes.
Every year, this kind of ignorant little mouse comes to test his bottom line. It seems that he kills too little and fails to effectively deter them.
"Don't confuse me with those people you control. I'm just here to kill you." Xu Yue looked at the man and said coldly.
In the past, he only knew that this man killed his parents, but after coming here for revenge today, he fully understood this man's face.
"You have stayed here all these years and controlled the world and done a lot of evil things for you!"
After hearing Xu Yue's words, the man laughed: "Evil things? These ordinary people are just the nourishment of my cultivation. They are fortunate enough to become part of my cultivation. They should express their gratitude to me."
After hearing these words, veins popped up on Xu Yue's face, and the spiritual power in his body burst out instantly.
After feeling the aura emanating from Xu Yue's body, the man felt completely relieved.
A kid who has just entered the Kailing Realm dares to come to take revenge on him and punish evil and eradicate evil?
A strange aura began to emanate from his body, and the pressure created by this aura instantly reached the level of someone in the late stage of the Kailing Realm.
"Although my skills feed on the common people, monks like you can also become my side dishes." With a sinister smile, the man rushed towards Xu Yue.
The man's hands were instantly covered in a layer of scarlet blood, and the next moment, his hands turned into two sharp bloody claws.
A flash of blood flashed by, and the man's claws easily penetrated Xu Yue's body. Then, a terrifying suction force began to erupt from his claws, and Xu Yue's body quickly shriveled up at a speed visible to the naked eye.
The blood on Xu Yue's face quickly faded, and a look of horror still remained on his face. When the man pulled out his claws, his withered body gradually fell backwards.
"You don't overestimate your capabilities! If you hold back for a few more years, you might be able to fight me a few more times." The man looked at Xu Yue's body sarcastically, and the two bloody claws gradually disappeared.
At this time, a palm-sized meat ball was grasped in the man's hand. This meat ball was the source of Xu Yue's energy and blood, and could provide a lot of strength for his cultivation.
The man activated his skills, and under the influence of his skills, the meat ball in his hand quickly turned into a pool of blood. Not long after, the pool of blood changed again and turned into a large mass of thick blood mist.
Then it is gradually absorbed into the body of the man.
After absorbing Xu Yue's energy and blood, the spiritual sea in the man's body began to stir. The body essence of a monk who had opened the spiritual realm was swallowed by him, and it was hard to imagine how much power it would provide him.
"In this way, the time it takes me to reach the peak of the Spiritual Realm can be shortened by more than half a year." Feeling the changes taking place in his body, the man nodded with satisfaction.
Mortal body essence is not on the same level as that of monks. If you want to provide these powers with the secular world, it will probably take nearly a year.
However, killing the monk requires him to do it himself, and he will face many risks. If he fails, his life may be in the hands of others.
Collecting ordinary things is very safe. Although there is a huge demand for using ordinary things to practice, he only needs to control some of the ordinary things in advance, and the collection work can be carried out through those ordinary things. And he himself can hide behind the scenes and enjoy the results.
Moreover, a large number of ordinary people are missing. Only people at the ordinary level will worry about it. Monks in the world of cultivation rarely pay attention to it. As long as those ordinary people do not have the opportunity to come into contact with the monks and they don’t act too obvious, there will be no big problems.
Big problem. At most, it will take a little more time to practice like this. Compared with the former, the risk level is not at the same level at all.
"When I break through to the peak of the Kailing Realm, I can move to a place with more mundane things. By then, all the mundane things that have seen me in this place can be removed." The man silently planned the future.
But suddenly, an inexplicable palpitating feeling surged into his heart, and at the same time, the picture in front of him began to become violently distorted.
"What's going on?" The man spat out a large mouthful of blood, and severe pain spread all over his body in an instant.
The man gradually lowered his head and looked at the source of the pain.
Where his heart was, a bloody sword tip emerged.
In front of him, Xu Yue's body disappeared without a trace.
"Illusion... illusion..." At this moment, the man seemed to understand something. But now, with his heart penetrated, the vitality in his body began to drain rapidly, and his eyes began to become heavier and heavier.
After a while, Xu Yue, who was standing behind the man, drew out his sword.
Without the support of the long sword in Xu Yue's hand, the man's body immediately fell to the ground.
Xu Yue stared blankly at the man's body and fell into silence.
"it's over."
After a long time, Xu Yue spurred out a ball of flame and burned the man's body.
Then, he quietly left the mansion.
Not long after Xu Yue left the mansion, the man who fell outside the room also woke up.
"What just happened?" The man touched his head and thought hard.
He vaguely remembered that he seemed to have met someone before he fainted. But he had no memory of that person's specific face now.
"Could it be..." A bold guess suddenly flashed through the man's mind.
With the faint hope in his heart, the man entered the house again.
After entering the room, he quickly discovered scorch marks and blood stains left on the floor.
"God bless you!" The man fell to his knees with a plop on the ground, murmuring continuously.
Tears slipped quietly from the corners of his eyes.
After leaving this small town, Xu Yue began to move away from Nanyang City.
In the battle just now, both he and the opponent caused too strong fluctuations. If there were other monks nearby at that time, they would definitely notice it quickly.
A moment later, a young man's figure suddenly appeared above the city lord's mansion in the small town.
With a thought in the young man's mind, his consciousness moved directly downwards and soon enveloped the entire City Lord's Mansion.
"Sure enough, there was a battle. Judging from the situation, it seemed that a certain monk killed the evil cultivator dormant in this mortal city. The power fluctuations at the scene were all in the spirit realm, but the signs of resistance were not obvious. It should be due to the strength gap between the two sides.
The disparity is huge, the evil cultivator was crushed by that person..." The young man analyzed the scene carefully.
When his consciousness penetrated into the man's brain and probed his memory more carefully, the corners of his mouth began to rise slightly.
"This battle has nothing to do with the Wanxie Alliance, but having said that, that person is quite cautious. I wonder if we will encounter him in the future."
The divine consciousness that enveloped the entire City Lord's Mansion instantly returned to his body, and the next moment, a pair of cyan light wings quietly unfolded behind him.
The light wings vibrated slightly, and the young man turned into a blue light and left the small town.
…
On a tomb hill, Xu Yue knelt in front of a tombstone.
He clearly remembered that day, his father and mother were killed by that evil cultivator. After that, he sold the things at home and buried the two of them here.
He still remembered that he kept crying that day, crying until he died, and finally fell asleep in front of the tombstone.
After that day, he lost his parents and began to live a helpless life. He also suffered from gossips and glances from people around him. This situation ended only when Uncle Liu and the others arrived.
Silently, Xu Yue looked at the tombstone quietly until dawn.
"Father, mother, your son has now become a monk. The monk is the legendary immortal with very powerful power..."
"You have always taught me that when I see others encountering difficulties, I should do my best to help them."
"In fact, you have always done this. You often help people around you, without asking for anything in return, just for your own heart..."
"Are you just asking for your true heart?"
Xu Yue took a deep breath, clenched his fists, and then raised his head to look at the sky: "I, Xu Yue, swear to God now that as a monk, I will do my best to kill the evil cultivators in the world!"
The evil cultivators who had no regard for life took pleasure in massacre and brought suffering to countless people. Whether they were ordinary people or weak cultivators, they all became the objects of their wanton play and became their way to a higher level.
Stepping stones everywhere, stepping stones stained with blood.
Although his strength is not strong, he still wants to do his best to stop these crazy evil cultivators.
Gradually, nine figures appeared in Xu Yue's mind.
"Tianzhou? Although it is far away, I will get there as soon as possible!" Xu Yue said to himself.
