Chapter Forty-One: Blood for Blood

  Wu Ming lowered his head, revealing a servile nature. This servility was not towards Xuan Yuan as an individual, but rather because he saw Xuan Yuan's rapidly increasing power and recognized him as a rare cultivation prodigy who was also a disciple of Yin Zhenluo, thus showing servility to the Yin family.

  "No, these are hired killers brought by the old slaves. Now in the 'Dragon Fighting Immortal Mansion' territory, it's different from the Eastern State Dynasty. To be cautious, we can't help but do so."

  Xuanyuan nodded his head in satisfaction:

  "Hmm, good, thorough work. Since they're hired killers, might as well make the most of it. Let them take care of these white-haired zombies and human demons on the fourth floor of Hong Ri's lair, then hand over the demon clan's internal elixirs. That way, we can let them leave. After all, profits should be maximized!"

  Wu Ming bowed and said slowly:

  "The young master Xuan Yuan's intention, I dare not disobey, why don't you go quickly?"

  Ten peak assassins, each with a burst of wild and violent aura on their bodies, stabbed and killed the white-haired zombies in all directions, which was also a kind of training for them, they didn't mind.

  Dong Xuan's face was filled with terror, and he was scared out of his wits. He didn't have the same kind of bravery as Yan Liang, who would sacrifice himself to fight to the death. His heart was filled with fear:

  "What kind of person is Xuan Yuan! He can actually make a strong man at the peak of Dou Wang call himself an old slave in front of him, and call him Young Master. A strong man at the peak of Dou Wang acknowledges that he is a slave, only those with great power in the Eastern State Imperial Court have this qualification! But among the major powers in the Eastern State Imperial Court, no one has ever heard of the name Xuan Yuan!"

  Just as Dong Xuan was thinking about how to beg for mercy from Xuan Yuan, he suddenly saw Xuan Yuan's gaze coldly staring at him, scaring Dong Xuan so much that his whole body started shaking.

  "Xuanyuan Gongzi spare my life! What was said earlier were Lu Feng's personal thoughts and had nothing to do with me."

  Xuanyuan looked at Dongxuan with a cold expression, then raised the "Youlong Sword" in his hand and struck it directly into Dongxuan's heart, but Dongxuan was a Douwang!

  It has already begun to refine the five organs, and the heart is one of them. With the help of Dou Qi, the heart has been condensed and refined, and its vitality is extremely strong. Can it be killed by a single sword from Xuan Yuan after being pierced?

  Dong Xuan let out a mournful howl:

  "Xuanyuan Gongzi spare my life, as long as you let me go, I am willing to hand over all the wealth I have collected over the years. These riches are not on me, but if Xuanyuan Gongzi is willing to spare my life, I am willing to give them all to Xuanyuan Gongzi!"

  "Speak, where is it!" Xuan Yuan's hand suddenly stirred the 'You Long Sword' violently, and the intense pain instantly spread to every corner of Dong Xuan's body. Only to see Dong Xuan's body convulsing violently, with blood gushing out, causing the faces of Hong Tao, Yue Can, and Yue Teng to turn pale.

  "As long as you tell me where it is, I'll let you go."

  "In a branch of the 'Dragon Fighting Immortal Mansion', in the main city of Moon Heaven City under the jurisdiction of Yuan Yue Dong Tian, I bought a mansion, next to a thousand-year-old pine tree on the west side of Moon Heaven City. All the endless wealth I've collected over the years is all in the study!" Dong Xuan's face turned even paler, his lips trembling non-stop, looking extremely pitiful.

  However, a pitiful person must have a hateful place. Xuan Yuan did not have the slightest sympathy, drew out the 'Traveling Dragon Sword', nodded and said:

  "Ah, good, Lone Star, bite his neck off."

  "Xuanyuan Gongzi, you said that as long as I speak out, you won't kill me!" Dong Xuan saw Gu Xing step by step approaching and shrieked.

  "I said I wouldn't kill you, but I didn't say that Xingxing couldn't kill you. So, die!" With a single order from Xuan Yuan, Xingxing pounced forward fiercely. At this moment, Dong Xuan's face became extremely ferocious and he burst into maniacal laughter:

  "Then let's die together."

  A fierce and violent aura burst forth from Dong Xuan's body, and the 'Xuan Sha Mirror' in Wu Ming's hand suddenly emitted a dark light. The aura that had been boiling up on Dong Xuan's body was instantly extinguished, and Lone Star opened its wolf-like mouth, its sharp fangs directly biting through Dong Xuan's neck.

  Yuè Cán, Hóng Tāo, Yuè Téng saw this scene, the hairs on their bodies stood up one by one, and they begged for mercy frantically. Xuān Yuán didn't listen, walked to Dǒng Xuān's body, took the Dou Jì (a kind of ring) from his hand and put it on his own hand, without checking the wealth inside, then stripped off all the top-grade ghost equipment from Dǒng Xuān's body.

  They are the Moon Declaration Sword, Moon Declaration Armor, Moon Declaration Crown, and Moon Declaration Boots. All of them were crafted by the Refining Master of the Moonlight Sect, whose strength is at the Dou Zong realm. The top-grade ghost equipment refined by him is naturally not bad either. At the Dou Zong realm, one can already refine lower-grade earth equipment.

  After putting away this set of top-notch ghost equipment into his Dou Ring, Xuan Yuan looked at Yan Ziyun holding the Moon Halberd and walked up.

  "Leave the rest to me." Xuan Yuan didn't want to waste too much time, and with a few swift strikes of his "Dragon Sword", he beheaded both Yue Can and Hong Tao, taking their high-quality ghost equipment and Dou Rings. He then ran over to Lü Feng's corpse and stripped him of his undamaged top-quality ghost equipment, including the crown, boots, and jade pendant. Of course, he didn't forget about the Dou Ring either, and also took Yan Liang's Dou Ring as well. After all, this was a huge windfall for him.

  As for Xuan Yuan's behavior, Wu Ming was both amused and annoyed. These things were not impressive in his eyes, but what Xuan Yuan did was also not blameworthy.

  "Master sister, I was bewitched by a ghost, please spare me. It's Lü Feng who forced me to do this, if I didn't, he would have killed me. It has nothing to do with me." Yuè Téng was so scared that his whole body trembled, and he urinated in his pants, wetting a large area, emitting a foul smell.

  Yan Ziyun furrowed her brow in disgust:

  "Avenge my brother's death."

  A flash of sword light, and Mō Téng's head was cut off and flew out. Xún Yuán walked to Mō Téng's side and stripped him of his 'Dòu Jīn' wealth.

  Yan Ziyun was speechless at Xuan Yuan's behavior, and Xuan Yuan just smiled wryly a few times, comforting her:

  "A man can't come back to life once he's dead, Yan Liang sacrificed himself to save me and now I've avenged his death. Zi Yun, don't take it too hard."

  Yan Ziyun also understood, didn't she? Xuan Yuan wanted to give her Dong Xuan and Lü Feng's Dou Rings, but Yan Ziyun refused, saying that taking their things would dirty her own hands.

  Xuanyuan didn't say anything else, but just muttered a sentence:

  "I'm not afraid of getting dirty anyway."

  Yan Ziyun was directly amused by Xuan Yuan, now only hoping that Yan Liang's spirit in heaven can rest in peace. Cultivating a way is fraught with danger, Yan Ziyun knew long ago that there would be such a day, perhaps it was his own death or perhaps it was the death of his brother. Now that the great revenge has been avenged, the oppressive energy on his heart has been vented, and naturally he will not always be immersed in sorrow.

  "Wu Ming, don't hold back, slaughter all the demons in the fourth layer of Hong Ri's demonic lair, then hurry to the fifth layer."

  "Old slave obeys!" Wu Ming responded with a single voice, and then took action. The mysterious light emitted from the Xuan mirror in his hand swept across all the demon zombies and human demons, cutting them all in half.

  Xuanyuan once again held the 'Traveling Dragon Sword' in his hand, charging into the undead formation of the Demon Clan, and concentrated his divine power.

  Looking at Xuan Yuan wearing Wu Dong's Dou Ring, holding Wu Dong's 'You Long Sword', Wu Dong was like a brother to him, yet now he had to protect him. Everything was so ironic, but he had no choice. Since Xuan Yuan was a talented individual, the young master had given an order, and he absolutely could not disobey, even if Xuan Yuan had killed his friends who were as close as brothers.

  Hongri Demon Cave Fourth Layer.

  After six hours, the corpses were all over the place. There were also about a dozen authentic disciples who died in this battle, but an even larger number were demonic zombies and demon humans.

  Ten killers swept the battlefield, and there were 120 zombie internal elixirs and 12 human demon internal elixirs, which was also a very rich income, and Xuan Yuan directly put them in his pocket.

  After Xuan Yuan finished, he directly sent the ten killers away. After all, hiring them would cost a lot of money. Wu Ming was the one who hired them before, but now Xuan Yuan used them to make money for himself and then sent them away. Although Wu Ming was speechless about this, he didn't raise any objections.

  Ten killers didn't say a word and left directly. Although the ten killers had left, the true disciples of the Moon Flower Gate knew that the old men beside Xuan Yuan were the most terrifying ones.

  "Xuanyuan Gongzi, just now..." A true disciple walked up and was about to explain, but Xuanyuan didn't even bother to look at him, only coldly saying:

  "No need to say more, from now on, true disciples of Zhen Chuan must take Zi Yun as the center, otherwise, kill without pardon!"

  Xuanyuan showed unprecedented strength, but these true disciples did not dare to say much. Yan Ziyun was popular in Yuehuacheng, and it was nothing for them to center around Yan Ziyun either.

  "Yes, Crown Prince Xuan Yuan." The remaining seventy plus true transmission disciples all responded in unison.

  "Let's go, to the fifth floor of Hongri Demon Cave, and see if we can meet Feng Lie Gongzi." Xuan Yuan gave an order, and rushed towards the fifth floor of Hongri Demon Cave. Yan Ziyun, Gu Xing, and a group of true disciples followed closely behind. Wu Ming furrowed his brow, but still followed along.
