From Martial Arts Dungeon to Master of Martial Arts

Chapter 49 The Fall of the Inner City

"What is that?!" Mu Sheng looked up at the towering tree.

Although it looks large, it doesn't engulf the entire inner city; it's just that the lush branches and leaves cast shadows over the entire inner city.

"A demon, at least a mid-level demon." Jing Yu's usual relaxed demeanor vanished, replaced by a grave expression.

Out of the corner of his eye, he saw Mu Sheng clench his fists and said, "What? You still want to fight that demon? Where did your patience and forbearance go?"

"My brother and sister-in-law are still there," Mu Sheng said in a deep voice.

After all, he was the older brother who had raised him; he couldn't just give up on him like that.

"You are indeed loyal and righteous, but such demons require at least a master of internal energy. Going there would only result in another lost soul. We need to find out what the situation is first," Jing Yu said in a deep voice.

He never expected that while all the experts were busy capturing Wang Huaiyi, his home would be ransacked.

"Let's go back!" Jing Yu said in a deep voice, suppressing all the exclamations.

There were also many people like Mu Sheng, after all, many of them were from the inner city.

When Jing Yu spoke, no one dared to object, and all the disciples of Zhenyuan Temple followed Jing Yu toward Zhenyuan Temple.

Mu Sheng looked at the disciples of Zhenyuan Temple behind him.

Mingliu was still alive, as were Miao Yin, Zhao Fangxu, and Senior Sister Li Suyun. He wasn't very familiar with the others.

Mingliu's face showed surprise and uncertainty, while Miao Yin and Zhao Fangxu looked solemn.

Including Mu Sheng's original disciples, there were a total of eighteen people, but after this trip to Soul Devouring Mountain, only twelve people remained, including Mu Sheng, as six of them perished there.

Miao Yin and the other two were also from the inner city, and were clearly worried about their families.

Mu Sheng followed behind Jing Yu in silence.

The atmosphere in the team was somewhat subdued, and no one spoke up, given the current situation.

Everyone is worried about the situation in the inner city.

Upon arriving at Zhenyuan Temple, they went directly into the main hall. Unexpectedly, Qu Yuanheng was sitting cross-legged under the statue of a deity, surrounded by an invisible aura.

Hearing the noise, Qu Yuanheng opened his eyes and couldn't help but drool from the corner of his mouth. He wiped his mouth and looked at Jing Yu, saying, "Uncle-Master, you're back?"

"Weren't your injuries almost healed? How did you get so badly injured again?!" Jingyu stepped forward but didn't dare to touch the two of them.

Qu Yuanheng explained, "The Shangguan family asked us to find that murderous demon. The two of us fought the demon many times. The demon was not skilled in martial arts, but had extremely strong innate supernatural powers. My senior sister and I each had our share of victories and defeats."

Jing Yu nodded; he knew about this matter.

"In that case, seeing that most of the experts in the city had been mobilized, my senior sister and I suspected that the demon would definitely react, so we went to the Shangguan family to wait for it to come to us. The demon did come, and we joined forces with the Shangguan family, the Li family, and two experts from the Yuan family to attack at the same time. But unexpectedly, the demon went crazy when it arrived at the Shangguan family. It risked injury to absorb the rest of the Shangguan family members, and in the end, it became a force to be reckoned with. We could only flee in panic."

"The enemy also transformed into a giant tree, engulfing the entire Shangguan family and hanging most of the people in the inner city from the tree. You should have seen that when you came here."

Jing Yu nodded, and everyone else looked solemn. Mu Sheng listened attentively.

Could that demon be Yang Xing?

"The leaves on those leaves actually represent all the people in the inner city, but thankfully we severely injured them before we escaped, and they're already unconscious. The people on those leaves are still safe, but things could change if we delay." Qu Yuanheng said in a deep voice, "If that demon wakes up and devours everyone in the inner city, it might be able to advance to a higher-level demon, and then the entire Changshu might be gone. Uncle-Master, we need to make plans as soon as possible, whether to leave or take this opportunity to kill the demon."

Jingyu fell into deep thought: "What you say is true, but we don't have any good options. If a superior demon is born and the people of Zhenyuan Temple take the opportunity to escape, we will become the target of everyone's criticism."

People of their stature need a certain reputation. People like Chang Shu don't need to worry about it, but in Dacheng, they are only second-rate forces, so they naturally need a better reputation.

Not to mention, the birth of this superior demon was already somewhat related to them. If they were to leave now, their opponents and other sects would inevitably use this as a reason to pressure the True Essence Temple.

"We can't leave," he sighed.

Qu Yuanheng said in a deep voice, "In that case, we can only unite all the Qi experts in the city to kill him before he wakes up and save the people of the city."

"My senior sister and I are seriously injured. If we wait until we recover, it may be too late. We will leave the rest to our uncle."

Jing Yu asked, "Then do you know how long that demon can sleep?"

"It will take at least one month, and at most three months," Qu Yuanheng said in a deep voice. "But if we wait like this, things might change. I hope you will consider this carefully, Uncle."

They were severely injured, and their presence here is also to pass on the message to Jingyu.

"Alright, go and heal your wounds," Jing Yu said with a heavy expression.

"Yes!" Qu Yuanheng then got up, staggered towards the back door, and entered the Zhenyuan Temple.

After he disappeared from sight,

Jing Yu then turned to his disciples and said, "I know that your relatives are currently in the inner city, also hung on a tree by that demon, but this is not something you can easily get involved in. You should stay put and wait for news."

"Master Jingyu..." Someone stepped forward, wanting to say something. After all, their relatives were all in the inner city, and they were extremely worried. How could they just stay there like this?

"Disperse." Jing Yu coldly interrupted them, saying, "Or, leave my True Essence Temple. Then, whatever you want to do will be none of our business."

"We'll take our leave!" Li Suyun hurriedly stepped forward, clasped her hands in a fist and bowed.

Everyone knew that Jingyu didn't want them involved at all, and that they had no intention of leaving Zhenyuan Temple.

Thus, they could only silently suppress their resentment.

Led by Li Suyun, the group left.

When Mingliu saw Musheng, he quickly stepped forward as if to say something, but Musheng walked away with a serious expression, as if she hadn't seen him at all.

Mingliu reached out and opened his mouth, muttering under his breath, "Brother Musheng and his wife are still in that city, probably worried about them."

Mu Sheng indeed didn't see Ming Liu; his mind was completely focused on how to rescue his brother and sister-in-law.

He is currently only at the Inner Strength level, not even at the Transformation level, so his strength is ultimately insufficient.

Eager to become stronger quickly, he went straight into the house, closed the door, and sat cross-legged on the bed.
