The Immortal Wife Is Like A Cloud

These two guys were just following orders and didn’t even belong to the category of taking money to eliminate troubles for others.

They didn’t even have the awareness to put their heads in their pants.

Moreover, their original plan was to cripple Su Jingzhen and Xuening’s hands.

They hadn’t even thought about killing anyone.

But when the other party revealed their Nascent Soul cultivation, they instinctively knelt down and begged for mercy.

Before this, they didn’t recognize the old monster.

“Sir, we didn’t recognize your greatness, please spare our lives.”

“Please spare our lives, sir…”

Their previous arrogance and recklessness had turned into endless fear.

It didn’t matter if the old monster was a Nascent Soul or only had Golden Core cultivation; he could still achieve this effect.

After all, this world still respects power, and physical strength was the ultimate truth.

When he heard their pleas, the old monster’s mouth curved into a faint smile: “I can’t let you two off that easily.”

“Besides, I didn’t say I wanted to take your lives.”

The two Foundation Establishment cultivators’ faces changed again, their complexions turning pale.

Leaving one hand and one foot behind would be almost as good as killing them.

Right now, either of them could be considered top-notch among Foundation Establishment cultivators.

But if they were really crippled, their combat power would plummet.

Moreover, they would likely never be able to form a Golden Core again, and their lives would be as good as over.

“Sir, please spare our lives, considering how difficult cultivation is!”

Even though they knew they were doomed, the two of them still begged instinctively.

The old monster’s Nascent Soul aura grew even more intimidating, exerting immense pressure on the two.

“Any action has consequences, and leaving one hand and one foot is already a special favor from me.”

Although there were regulations in Yunmeng City prohibiting random killing, these rules only applied to low-level warriors and had no binding power over Nascent Soul old monsters.

Moreover, since these two had provoked him, killing them would be justified.

Seeing that the two didn’t dare to move, Su Jingzhen felt a surge of excitement.

He wanted to test his current combat power.

But after thinking about it, he decided to stand still and not move.

Cornered beasts would still fight back, and if he took the initiative, he might be seen as a target for these two to counterattack.

Right now, his top priority was to safely wait for the Alchemy Conference and help Feng Qingya achieve her goals.

As for the rest, he just wanted to play it safe!

“Three breaths! If you don’t take action, I’ll help you.”

The old monster spoke again, his words laced with a hint of killing intent.

The two guys had dragged it out for too long, severely provoking the dignity of a Nascent Soul old monster.

As soon as the words were spoken, the two trembled with fear, but didn’t dare to hesitate anymore.

They exchanged a glance, nodded to each other, and a fierce glint appeared in their eyes.

They simultaneously stretched out their right hands, forming a knife-like shape, and slashed towards each other’s left arm.

At the same time, they stretched out their left legs, kicking towards each other’s right leg.

It was a cruel act, but they had no choice.

Fortunately, there were two of them, and they could help each other.

Two crisp cracking sounds echoed through the air.

The two of them suddenly cried out in pain and fell to the ground.

As cultivators close to the Golden Core level, their palm strikes were quite powerful, directly chopping off each other’s left arm and breaking each other’s right leg.

The aura of the late Foundation Establishment stage suddenly weakened.

Seeing this, the old monster smiled coldly again, but didn’t say anything more.

The Nascent Soul aura was retracted, and he turned to look at Su Jingzhen and Xuening: “Master Su, Miss Xuening, let’s go.”

Under his lead, the three of them walked forward, leaving the boundaries of the illusion.

After exiting the illusion, Su Jingzhen subconsciously turned his head to look back, but there was nothing in the position where the two guys should have been.

“Old Master, those two guys’ mental defenses should have collapsed, and if we ask them, we should be able to find out who is behind the scenes.”

Su Jingzhen thought for a moment before speaking honestly.

As the saying goes, “know yourself, know your enemy, and win a hundred battles.” In Su Jingzhen’s view, at the very least, they should know who was behind the scenes, so they could prepare.

However, the old monster shook his head with a smile: “There’s no need. In Yunmeng City, there are only a few people who want to deal with Miss Feng. But those who want to stir up trouble and create chaos are too many.”

He said this with a very domineering tone.

But immediately, his mouth curved into a helpless smile: “And even if we knew who was behind the scenes, we couldn’t openly eliminate them. Let’s wait until the Alchemy Conference is over.”

Just as the old monster finished speaking, Xuening, who had been silent until now, suddenly furrowed her brow.

“Senior, I felt like there were more than two people following us.”

Seeing Su Jingzhen and the old monster’s puzzled gazes, Xuening added: “I’m more sensitive to perceptions than ordinary people.”

As soon as she said this, the old monster’s brow furrowed again.

But after a moment, he laughed: “It doesn’t matter how many there are. As long as they dare to come out, we’ll crush them all.”

Hearing the old monster’s words, Su Jingzhen’s eyes sparkled with admiration.

This was the confidence of a Nascent Soul old monster.

“Let’s go, I’ll take you to the most famous wine house in Yunmeng City, Mingyue Tower, to eat a good meal. Let’s see whose cooking skills are better, yours or Mingyue Tower’s.”

Hearing this, Su Jingzhen’s eyes lit up again.

A wine house, especially a famous one like Mingyue Tower, was naturally one of the busiest places in the city.

And in the cultivation world, wine houses like this were also known as small-scale intelligence agencies.

The old monster’s intention was clear.

As Feng Qingya’s protector, the old monster might not be able to directly tell them everything about Feng Qingya.

But by taking them to Mingyue Tower, they might be able to gather all the information they wanted.

…

Su Jingzhen and the other two walked back onto the main street with the largest crowd.

Meanwhile, at the other end of the alley where they had been, a black-clothed old man held a limp corpse in his hand.

He looked towards the alley still shrouded in the illusion, smiled, but didn’t choose to go over.

He naturally sensed that the two guys in the illusion were not dead, but he didn’t plan to finish them off either.

Looking at the corpse in his hand, he smiled faintly.

“I don’t know about the rules of Yunmeng City, but the rules of my demonic sect are to take an eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth!”

“Since you want to harm my disciple, you should be prepared to be beheaded by me!”
