"Ssssss!"
But in the next second, Su Changkong’s Blade Intent merged with his True Qi to form an impregnable Blade Gang, which he injected into Cui Xin’s body, rampaging and cutting wildly.
"Ah Ah Ah!"
Accompanied by blood-curdling screams, Cui Xin’s meridians were severed, his Monster Blood dripping. These dual traumas, physical and spiritual, caused Cui Xin to fall into an agonizing faint, and although he did not die, he was left with just a half life left. Injured by Su Changkong’s Blade Intent, even the Immortal Body of a demon wouldn’t recover easily.
Afterwards, Su Changkong bound Cui Xin into a zongzi with Heaven Silkworm Silk and buried him on the spot, intending to verify the truth of Cui Xin’s words before granting him a quick death!
As for whether this act was cruel, Su Changkong had no psychological burden. Any Monster Warrior is a man-eating monster; even dying ten times would not expiate their sins!
"Make a trip to Central South Valley... but still, caution is needed. In case Cui Xin is deceiving me, or he lied about the number of Monster Warriors there, it would be too dangerous for me to charge in headfirst."
Su Changkong mused to himself, not fully trusting Cui Xin’s words.
Perhaps the Life Extinguishing Association’s branch was indeed housed in Central South Valley, and perhaps Wind Sun Moon truly was there. But the strongest one there might not be Wind Sun Moon.
Perhaps there were Monster Warriors far beyond imagination sitting in wait. If he completely trusted Cui Xin’s words and barged in, he wouldn’t know how he died!
Su Changkong also wanted to know the exact situation of Hong Zhenxiang, whether alive or dead. Moreover, his grudge with Wind Sun Moon was far from small; it was time to settle scores!
Su Changkong returned to the Spirit Taoist Sect to prepare, and then set off for Central South Valley.
Central South Valley, a secluded and desolate mountain valley located in Central State, was rarely visited by people even on ordinary days.
Su Changkong traveled to Central South Valley and arrived just outside the valley after three to four days.
Central South Valley was deep and from the outside, it looked barren—a stretch covered only by sporadic trees and undergrowth. Inside the valley were twists and turns with rugged, broken stones seemingly a desolate, barbaric valley devoid of wild beasts or fish.
However, Su Changkong did not rush in. He knew that any disturbance could complicate matters, and if there were Monster Warriors inside that he couldn’t handle, he may not cope!
That, however, didn’t stop Su Changkong.
"Heaven Silkworm Spitting Silk!"
From his fingertips, True Qi of the Heaven Silkworm spread out, forming several silver strands of silk finer than a strand of hair, nearly invisible to the naked eye, especially in the dark of night.
Su Changkong wanted to clarify whether Life Extinguishing Association’s base was in the valley and if Wind Sun Moon was among them, relying on this Heaven Silkworm Silk.
The uses of Heaven Silkworm Silk were infinite; whether cutting off veins and sealing acupuncture points or reconnecting severed meridians and bones, it relied on Heaven Silkworm Silk.
The Heaven Silkworm Technique, a profound Cultivation Technique, cultivated vibrant Heaven Silkworm True Qi. In the Chi Dragon Hall, thanks to the pressures he faced, Su Changkong pushed the Heaven Silkworm Technique to the 8th realm, the transcendental realm, allowing him to significantly extend the Heaven Silkworm Silk.
In theory, if his True Qi were sufficient, the Heaven Silkworm Silk could extend indefinitely. With just four or five strands, Su Changkong could even reach a maximum distance of several dozen miles. As if an extension of his own body, the Heaven Silkworm Silk was perfectly suited for probing such dangerous locations.
Su Changkong seldom utilized the Heaven Silkworm Technique in battle, but indeed, the technique had many profound and advantageous aspects.
Su Changkong, sitting on a rock miles away from Central South Valley, calmly watched as the Heaven Silkworm Silk, alive like a creature, snaked and stretched across the ground, extending deeper into the valley.
"Indeed... there’s something unusual."
As the Heaven Silkworm Silk advanced, carrying his essence, Su Changkong could vaguely see the surroundings through the silk. On entering the valley, he noticed something unusual.
At the valley’s entrance stood a withered tree. In it hung an all-black owl, upside down on a branch, frequently opening its eyes to survey the valley entrance, seemingly on guard.
Su Changkong guessed that the owl was a sentry of the Monster Martial Alliance, ready to alert to any intruder. It was not unusual for Monster Warriors who had strange Demon Arts to control animals.
But clearly, the owl hadn’t noticed the few strands of Heaven Silkworm Silk, thinner than hair, spreading across the valley floor.
The Heaven Silkworm Silk continued to lengthen, snaking further into the valley.
And when it had extended over ten miles within the valley, Su Changkong was somewhat shocked. Despite an apparent absence of anything ahead, the moment the Heaven Silkworm Silk passed through, it was as if it crossed a barrier, and a great palace materialized.
"Is this some sort of Demon Art, an Illusion Array?" Su Changkong was surprised. He knew Cui Xin had spoken truthfully—the Life Extinguishing Association’s branch in the valley was incredibly concealed, impossible to detect without close inspection!
Ahead lay a large palace with several lesser buildings.
Su Changkong saw there were two men guarding the entrance.
"Monster Warriors..."
As the Heaven Silkworm Silk served as an extension of Su Changkong’s sense, he clearly felt that these two had strong auras, no doubt Monster Warriors!
Su Changkong also discerned that there were far more Monster Warriors in the branch than the two or three dozen Cui Xin had mentioned. Observing the various buildings, Su Changkong estimated that there were likely no fewer than fifty members within.
