Mortal: Starting with the Falling Cloud Sect, I proved my Dao through gacha pulls.

"Bang!"

With a deafening explosion, a cloud of scarlet blood mist suddenly burst open in mid-air.

The violent spiritual energy unleashed by the self-destruction swept down, snapping ancient trees in half and sending billowing dust into the sky.

The next moment, Su Mu emerged from the smoke and dust unharmed, surrounded by flames. His divine sense, like an invisible net, locked onto the burly man with a thick beard who was fleeing in panic.

[Slay a Foundation Establishment stage enemy, +3 lives]

Current Life Number: 163

Su Mu was stunned. So killing enemy cultivators could also grant him a chance to gain life points? He had only just realized this mechanism and couldn't help but feel a little ashamed.

The reward was meager; the deaths of two Foundation Establishment cultivators were barely enough to earn three points of life.

But then he thought that if he killed two or three hundred enemies of the same level, the accumulated amount would be quite considerable.

In an instant, countless violent and evil thoughts surged in his mind, greed and killing intent in his eyes surged wildly, and a heart-palpitating excitement emanated from his body.

But in the next instant, he immediately activated his mental cultivation technique to calm his mind and suppress the surging inner demons, cleansing away all evil thoughts.

He regained his senses and kept reminding himself that the cheat system was merely an aid in his pursuit of enlightenment, not a puppet controlling him.

After calming down, Su Mu summoned the Rainbow Shuttle and, following the aura locked by his divine sense, sped after the burly man with the thick beard.

In just a few breaths, the fleeing figure came into view. He activated his true essence once more, and the Rainbow Shuttle emitted a clear hum, increasing his escape speed by another 30%, rapidly closing the distance between them.

"Um?"

Just as he was about to catch up with his target, Su Mu's divine sense suddenly detected that in the forest not far away, more than a dozen cultivators were joining forces to attack four figures.

The auras of the dozen or so people were mixed, with Qi Refining and Foundation Establishment cultivators among them. The leader had even stepped into the Pseudo-Core Realm. He vaguely recognized that aura; it was the Fu family cultivator he had seen at the auction before.

The four people being besieged were three Foundation Establishment cultivators and one Qi Refining cultivator. They were currently relying on an array to hold on, and their spiritual energy fluctuations were extremely chaotic. They were clearly at their limit and could not hold on for long.

"Are they from the Fu family?"

Su Mu frowned slightly, not wanting to cause any more trouble. He manipulated the Rainbow Shuttle, unleashing a dazzling rainbow light, and in an instant, he rushed behind the burly man with the thick beard, flames surging in his palm, ready to kill him with a single blow.

The leader of the three villains of the Pang family was frantically urging the flying artifact beneath his feet, his heart filled with endless regret and fear.

He never expected that a seemingly insignificant Qi Refining cultivator would be such an unyielding obstacle; in the blink of an eye, his two brothers had perished. The thought of the opponent's eerie and domineering flames sent chills down his spine.

Just then, he glanced back and saw the figure rapidly approaching, and he was terrified. He slapped all the few life-saving talismans he had left onto his body, while simultaneously begging for mercy in a heart-wrenching voice.

"Fellow Daoist, spare our lives! My two brothers and I were blind and foolish to offend you! If you are willing to show mercy, we are willing to offer up all our possessions!"

Su Mu remained expressionless, a cold laugh echoing in his heart. Foolish! If I kill you, everything you have will be mine anyway.

Seeing that Su Mu's killing intent showed no sign of abating, the burly man with the thick beard fell into utter despair. In his panic, he caught sight of the Fu family members not far away, and a glimmer of hope for survival instantly ignited in his eyes. He immediately activated a sound transmission spell and shouted at the top of his lungs:

"Fellow Daoist Fu! I am willing to serve under the Fu family and serve you faithfully! I am even willing to offer the Yin Sha Fruit seed with both hands, only asking that you lend a hand to save me!"

The Fu family had actually noticed the chase earlier, but they thought it was just a routine robbery and didn't take it seriously.

Upon hearing the words "Yin Sha Fruit Seed," the leader of the pseudo-Core Formation cultivators suddenly narrowed his eyes.

Yin Sha Fruit? Such a treasure has not appeared in the world for many years, and it is of great benefit to the cultivation of demonic arts. Whether it remains with the Fu family or is offered to the Demon Flame Sect, it has immense value.

"Fellow Daoist, please show mercy! I hope you'll give the Fu family some face!"

In an instant, he made a decision and shouted at Su Mu in a deep voice.

Su Mu ignored this and unleashed his true energy, his figure suddenly closing in on the burly man with the thick beard like a ghost.

He held the Molten Fire Prison-Severing Seal in his hand, but without any regard for technique, he used the seal as a brick and smashed it down on his opponent's head.

He had heard it clearly: this person dared to steal his Yin Sha Fruit seeds and even wanted to offer them to the Fu family.

If the Fallen Heart Flame were used and destroyed his precious seed, it would be a tremendous loss.

The burly man with the thick beard had just thought the Fu family would come to his rescue, and his face lit up with joy, when a scorching hot seal crashed down on him. He hurriedly summoned a defensive magic artifact and held it in front of him.

Before he could even catch his breath, the magical artifact cracked with a crisp sound and shattered into dust.

The light shield formed by the several layers of talismans in front of him was as fragile as paper, collapsing at the slightest touch.

He only saw the large seal grow larger and larger before his eyes, and then everything went black, and he fell completely silent.

Su Mu stared at the headless corpse before him, scanned it with his divine sense, and thoroughly searched its entire body. Finally, he found the inconspicuous gray seed in a personal embroidered pouch.

He casually grabbed all of the opponent's magical artifacts and storage bags, making sure nothing was missing, before nodding in satisfaction. He then flicked his finger and released a fireball, completely incinerating the corpse without a trace.

After doing all this, he slowly turned around, a faint smile on his lips, and looked at the Fu family members unhurriedly.

"Fellow Daoist, you jest. This man stole my most prized treasure, so it's only right that I kill him. Even if the Fu family has far-reaching influence, they can't possibly interfere to this extent, can they?"

Upon hearing this, the faces of everyone in the Fu family darkened.

Several Foundation Establishment cultivators silently spread out, subtly surrounding Su Mu. They were just waiting for an order to kill this arrogant brat on the spot and reclaim the treasure that rightfully belonged to their Fu family.

The Fu family cultivator at the Pseudo-Core Formation stage was both shocked and furious, but also felt a bit apprehensive.

Su Mu killed a Foundation Establishment cultivator cleanly and effortlessly, making the whole thing seem effortless. Even now, facing the encirclement of the crowd, he remained calm and composed, his true strength unfathomable, making Su Mu hesitant to make any rash moves.

"Which faction do you belong to, sir? You certainly have a big mouth."

He suppressed his murderous intent and probed in a low voice.

Su Mu smiled slightly and casually gave a pseudonym:

"I am Xiao Yan from Wutan City, but I am just a rogue cultivator."

The members of the Fu family looked at each other, all with puzzled expressions.

Wutan City? Never heard of it before. Could it be that it's not a place within the Yuanwu Kingdom?

Upon hearing that Su Mu was merely a rogue cultivator, the leading Fu family cultivator felt a surge of confidence.

Just as he was hesitating about whether to act immediately, one of the four trapped women, a Foundation Establishment cultivator, seeing that Su Mu could inspire such fear in the Fu family cultivators, quickly cried out for help:

"Please lend a helping hand, fellow Daoist! My Hu family will surely repay you handsomely in the future!"
