My master gave me a death mission: to go down the mountain and retrieve his granddaughter.

"Alright, Rock Serpent, is it? You've committed countless evils; it's time to send you on your way."

Now that the mastermind behind it has been found, the rock serpent has no reason to exist, and Su Muchen is preparing to end its life.

"Dr. Su, could you spare his life? He's a man with a tragic fate. If his son hadn't been bewitched by the Ten Thousand Gu Sect back then, he wouldn't be in this state today."

Old Qin still felt a little sorry for the rock snake. The reason why the rock snake became like this was all due to the Myriad Gu Sect. He was just a victim.

"Elder Qin, although he was also bewitched by the Ten Thousand Gu Sect, just from the fact that he used the essence and blood of ninety-nine living people to feed his natal Gu worm, I cannot let him live. If the Rock Serpent does not die, those souls he harmed will never be able to be exorcised."

This rock serpent is deeply sinful. No matter who tries to persuade him, Su Muchen will not let him go. The souls of those killed by the rock serpent are imprisoned in the bodies of those poisonous insects. As long as the rock serpent is not dead, these wronged souls will never be freed.

"Qin Zhengyuan, you don't need to plead for me. This expert is right. I know I have committed many sins, and death is a relief. But before I die, I have a question. I wonder if the expert can answer it for me, who is destined to die."

"Speak up, is there anything else you want to ask?"

"I originally thought that with my natal Gu worm fully developed, my strength was comparable to the late-stage Martial King in the cultivation world, making me a rare powerhouse. I never expected to be defeated by you, without even the slightest ability to resist. Master, may I ask what your current cultivation level is?"

The only wish of the Rock Serpent before its death was this: the young man in front of it was clearly only about twenty years old, yet it, a cultivator whose strength had reached the late stage of Martial King, was completely overwhelmed and had no power to fight back. Just how strong was this young man?

Rock Serpent had never heard of such a powerful figure in the martial arts world. Even those so-called geniuses who could break through to the Martial King realm at this age were considered monstrous geniuses among monstrous talents.

"Since you are already a dying man, I might as well tell you that I have now transcended the realm of martial arts and entered the realm of immortal cultivation. Rock Serpent, you should feel fortunate to die by my hand."

Su Muchen did not answer verbally, but instead gave the answer in the mind of the rock snake through telepathy.

The rock snake was surprised to hear the voice in its mind. It quickly realized that it was the young man's doing. After hearing the content of the voice, its eyes widened in disbelief.

When Qin Lao and the others saw the Rock Serpent's shocked expression, they were all puzzled. Su Muchen hadn't said a word, so why did the Rock Serpent have such an expression?

"Hahaha... I died without regret. Ten Thousand Gu Sect, finally someone has come to take you down. Now my son and I can rest in peace in the Yellow Springs."

After the rock serpent finished speaking, before Su Muchen could make a move, it forced out its natal Gu worm, grabbed it in its hand and squeezed it hard, causing the natal Gu worm to burst open.

The life of this natal Gu worm is connected to its master; if the natal Gu worm dies, the master will also perish.

As the natal Gu worm died, the rock snake's life force also rapidly faded. In just a few seconds, the rock snake collapsed to the ground, lifeless and beyond dead.

Looking at the rock snake's face, there was a relieved smile. It was clear that Su Muchen's last telepathic message had brought him peace of mind.

As soon as the rock serpent died, the venomous insects on its body also died instantly. Wisps of black smoke shot out from the insects' bodies and dissipated into the air.

Su Muchen naturally knew what the black smoke was; it was the souls of those who had been harmed by the rock serpent. Now that the rock serpent was dead, they were finally freed.

Next, to the astonishment of Elder Qin and the others, Su Muchen quickly made a hand seal, and a ball of flame appeared in his palm, leaving Elder Qin and the others completely dumbfounded.

"go……"

Su Muchen threw the flame in his hand at the corpse of the rock snake. The flame immediately set the entire corpse ablaze upon contact with it. In just over ten seconds, the corpse of the rock snake, along with the corpses of the poisonous insects, was burned to ashes.

Qin Lao and the others couldn't understand what was happening. How high must the temperature of the flames be to burn a corpse to ashes in such a short time? Yet they couldn't feel the temperature around them rise at all.

"Dr. Su, how did you manage to do that?"

As a martial artist of considerable strength, Yanlong was familiar with the methods used in the martial arts world. Even the strongest martial emperors at the peak of the martial arts world could not use such methods.

"Heh, it's just a little trick, don't take it to heart. Alright, this matter is settled, farewell!"

"Elder Qin, I'll take my leave now!"

Su Muchen didn't want to explain further, so he simply said goodbye to everyone and drove away from the scene.

"Old Shen, you're quite an impressive teacher at such a young age. Could you tell me about your background?"

After Su Muchen drove away, Old Qin pulled Shen Beishan aside and inquired about Su Muchen's background.

"Old Qin, to be honest, I don't know much about my teacher's background. I only know that he has superb medical skills, and it would not be an exaggeration to call him a miracle doctor. I followed him to learn medical skills. Of course, as you have seen, in addition to his superb medical skills, my teacher's methods are also unmatched."

Shen Beishan naturally wouldn't reveal Su Muchen's identity as a successor of the Heavenly Gate, as it wasn't the right time to disclose that identity.

"Dr. Su has such strength at such a young age. If he can be used by the country, he will become a great help to our country. No, I must tell those old guys about his situation immediately and talk to them about how to treat Dr. Su in the future."

Qin Lao immediately told Yan Long and Shen Beishan to get in the car. He wanted to return to Kyoto as soon as possible to inform those old guys about Su Muchen's situation. These old guys were naturally the most important figures in the Dragon Kingdom.

Seeing Qin Lao's anxious appearance, Shen Beishan shook his head and smiled lightly. He naturally understood Qin Lao's thoughts.

As soon as Su Muchen drove into the city, Qian Yutang called to inform him that he had arrived in Nanjiang City.

Having arranged to meet Qian Yutang at a hotel owned by Chen Tianfang, Su Muchen hung up the phone and sped off towards the most upscale hotel in Nanjiang City.

Fifteen minutes later, in the Presidential Suite 888 of the Tianjing Hotel in Nanjiang City, Su Muchen met Qian Yutang, and there was another expected person, Chen Tianfang.

Chen Tianfang was puzzled when he saw Qian Yutang addressing Su Muchen as "Young Master" repeatedly, which made him even more interested in Su Muchen's identity.

After exchanging pleasantries, the group sat down at the table. As soon as they sat down, a group of beautiful women in cheongsams appeared at the door of the private room and presented the table with a variety of exquisite dishes. There were more than twenty dishes in total, none of which were the same.

"Hehe, Mr. Su, please try the dishes here and see if they suit your taste. Old Qian specifically instructed that you have a big appetite, so I specially had all the signature dishes of my hotel served."

"Boss Chen, you're too kind. These dishes look and smell delicious, they look very appetizing. But Lao Qian is right, I do have a big appetite, please don't mind."

"Mr. Su, aren't you slapping Mr. Chen in the face? Eat as much as you want, and if it's not enough, I'll have someone prepare another table."

Chen Tianfang thought Su Muchen was just being polite. There was enough food on the table for at least ten people, and even if someone had a big appetite, they couldn't possibly finish it all.

Unexpectedly, Su Muchen's next words left Chen Tianfang in an awkward situation.

"Then I'll trouble Boss Chen to have another table prepared, and serve it after we finish this one."
