My CEO Bai Fumei’s wife

Mo Nu's reaction was completely different from Kui Wu's. Its tail began to wag faster because it understood one thing: its master meant that he was letting it practice on three early-stage Nascent Soul cultivators as an appetizer rather than a main course.

The first figure to land at the entrance of the spiritual vein was Xiao Tianxing, the sect leader of the Spirit Sword Sect. His gaze swept over Kui Wu and Zhu Zhen, who were guarding the entrance, and then over Mo Nu, who was lying on the outermost edge. His expression darkened.

"He actually subdued the Abyss Wolf from the seventh level of the Northern Abyss."

Zhao Wuji, the deputy head of the Myriad Manifestations Pavilion, followed and landed. His cultivation level was similar to Xiao Tianxing's, both at the early stage of the Nascent Soul stage, but his eyesight was sharper. What he saw was not Mo Nu, but the chaotic brand on Mo Nu's neck.

"That mark was left by the power of chaos. There is no other person in the entire Northern Region who can use the power of chaos to suppress a Netherworld Beast in the mid-stage of the Nascent Soul realm."

Sun Qian, the punishment elder of Qingyun Sect, had the lowest cultivation level among the three, having only entered the early stage of the Nascent Soul realm less than ten years ago, but he was the most stubborn.

"So what if we're in the mid-stage of the Nascent Soul realm? The three of us combined are equivalent to the late-stage Nascent Soul realm. If we don't break that Blood Fiend's leg today, where will my Qingyun Sect put its face?"

These words made Xiao Tianxing frown. His purpose in coming here was not to break Xue Sha's leg, but to regain the face his son had lost. However, seeing Yuan Lang's impressive lineup, his confidence had already weakened by three points.

The sound of the chaotic furnace fire operating came from the depths of the spiritual vein. The sound was mixed with the unique spiritual energy fluctuations when the Nine Nether Soul Nourishing Grass and the Netherworld Jade Marrow were fused together. Xiao Tianxing took a step forward and then stopped.

"He is refining elixirs."

"So what if he's making pills? We'll storm in and smash his furnace."

As soon as Sun Qian finished speaking, Mo Nu's body began to swell, growing from the size of a black dog to the size of a house. The pressure of a mid-stage Nascent Soul cultivator pressed down on the heads of the three early-stage Nascent Soul cultivators like a mountain. That pressure was not aimed at their physical bodies but directly crushed their aura.

"Come in, I've been waiting for you."

Qin Yu's voice came from the depths of the spiritual vein. There was no tension in his voice, only a kind of lazy tone that made people's teeth itch, as if he were greeting three neighbors who came to visit rather than enemies who came to cause trouble.

Xiao Tianxing didn't move because he noticed something: Qin Yu's voice was coming from the direction of the furnace, which meant that the person was indeed talking to them while refining pills.

“He didn’t take us seriously at all.”

Zhao Wuji's words voiced Xiao Tianxing's concerns. Three early-stage Nascent Soul cultivators joined forces to come to their door, yet the other side didn't even stop refining pills. This attitude was even more unpleasant than Xiao Jiuxiao being slapped in the face.

"Go in. I want to see what gives him the audacity to be so arrogant."

Sun Qian was the first to rush into the entrance of the spiritual vein. His magic weapon was a long cyan whip, which was covered with lightning patterns. Each lash could unleash three bolts of heavenly lightning.

Mo Nu's claws slammed down the moment he charged in. The force of that claw was enough to turn a late-stage Nascent Soul cultivator into a meat patty, but Sun Qian was only at the early-stage Deity Transformation realm. He dodged to the side, avoiding the frontal attack of the claws.

"Although Yuanlang is in the mid-stage of the Nascent Soul realm, it has been sealed for 30,000 years and its combat experience has long been rusty. Three against one may not necessarily lose."

Zhao Wuji's analysis made Xiao Tianxing nod. Three early-stage Nascent Soul cultivators did indeed have a chance of defeating one mid-stage Nascent Soul cultivator. Moreover, the Abyss Wolf was not wild but was tamed by Qin Yu, so its combat power might not be able to be fully utilized.

The three Nascent Soul stage cultivators attacked simultaneously. Xiao Tianxing's magic weapon was a phantom sword formed from sword energy, Zhao Wuji's magic weapon was a mirror, and Sun Qian's long whip had already wrapped around Mo Nu's hind legs.

Mo Nu's movements were indeed somewhat sluggish. The three thousand years of sealing had reduced its reaction speed by 20%, and it could only barely parry the combined attack of three early-stage Nascent Soul cultivators.

"Boss, do you need any help?"

Kui Wu's voice came from the entrance; he and Zhu Zhen were ready to rush forward at any moment.

"No need, Mo Nu needs to warm up."

Qin Yu's answer made Mo Nu's eyes light up. It understood its master's meaning: these three early-stage Nascent Soul cultivators were not there to kill it, but to help it recover.

The temperature of the chaotic furnace fire deep within the spiritual vein continues to rise, and the essence of the Nine Nether Soul Nourishing Grass has begun to condense into a pill embryo. This process will take at least another half hour.

Xiao Tianxing's illusory sword pierced Mo Nu's shoulder. The force of the sword made Mo Nu take three steps back, but the sword wound only left a shallow white mark on its body without even breaking the skin.

"Its hide is thicker than I expected." "Keep fighting. Even a mid-stage Nascent Soul cultivator will eventually run out of spiritual energy reserves."

Zhao Wuji's mirror shot out a beam of light that struck Mo Nu's eyes. That beam of light was the Illusion Mirror Technique, the treasured technique of the Myriad Manifestations Pavilion, which could trap the opponent in a brief illusion.

Mo Nu's movements did pause for a moment, but the next instant, a purple light flashed in its eyes, and the illusionary mirror technique was directly torn apart by its nether energy.

"Illusions are useless against the Nether Beast. Its soul is formed from death energy and is not affected by the illusions of the living."

Xiao Tianxing's words made Zhao Wuji's face darken. His strongest technique was the Illusion Mirror Technique, which was useless against the Nether Beasts, which meant he was half-crippled.

The battle lasted for the time it takes to brew a cup of tea. Mo Nu's body was covered in more and more wounds, but its fighting rhythm was becoming smoother and smoother. The sluggishness caused by the 30,000-year seal was recovering at a speed visible to the naked eye.

"It is taking advantage of our recovery state."

Sun Qian was the first to react. He realized that the spot where Mo Nu had been attacked had now become a weakness and bait for its attack. Every time they attacked those spots, they were countered even more fiercely.

"withdraw."

As soon as Xiao Tianxing gave the order, Mo Nu's speed suddenly increased by 30%. Its claws grabbed Sun Qian's long whip, and it pulled him over.

"Elder of Punishments of Qingyun Sect, wasn't it you who said you were going to break my legs just now?"

Qin Yu's voice came from the depths of the spiritual vein, and Mo Nu's claws were already pressed on Sun Qian's head.

"Blood Demon, spare my life! I was blind!"

"There are too many blind people. I've already let several off the hook, but they keep coming back the next day."

These words turned Sun Qian's face pale. He understood Qin Yu's meaning: he could spare his life, but not for nothing.

"I am willing to compensate. Qingyun Sect has thirty-seven properties in the Northern Region. I can hand over all the blueprints."

"I have the industrial blueprints. Your Spirit Sword Sect's young master just gave me a copy."

Xiao Tianxing's face twitched; he was unaware that his son had handed over the blueprints for the Spirit Sword Sect's assets.

"What else can the younger one give?"

"Your life."

Mo Nu's claws pressed down an inch, and Sun Qian's head shattered like a watermelon in front of everyone. The early-stage Nascent Soul cultivator died under the claws of the mid-stage Nascent Soul Nether Beast, without even a chance for his Nascent Soul to escape.

Xiao Tianxing and Zhao Wuji both took ten steps back. They hadn't expected Qin Yu to kill them so readily, without even giving them a chance to bargain.

"The punishment elder of Qingyun Sect is dead. What are you two going to do?"

Qin Yu's question made Xiao Tianxing and Zhao Wuji exchange glances. They now only had two choices: fight to the death or surrender.

"Blood Fiend, you killed a Nascent Soul stage cultivator from the Azure Cloud Sect. Do you know what that means?"

Xiao Tianxing's voice carried a final bit of resolve. The Qingyun Sect held a higher status in the Northern Region than the Lingjian Sect, and Sun Qian's death here would trigger a chain reaction.

"It means that the Qingyun Sect will come to seek revenge on me, and then I will kill another batch of them until they dare not come again."

These words made Xiao Tianxing's legs go weak. Qin Yu's tone was too calm; killing an early-stage Nascent Soul cultivator was as casual as crushing an ant. (End of Chapter)
