Chapter 275: Shocking the World with Evil Subduing
Chapter 275: Shocking the World with Evil Subduing
"You... who... who are you..." Bai Shi Yong's face paled as he stared at Chen Mu, his eyes revealing a hint of fear.
Bai Shi Yong cultivated the demonic body of the Celestial Demon Sect, while also practicing the Martial Path. He had reached the Bone Forging Realm and his demonic body was already partially formed, making him nearly invincible among his peers. Even a weaker Organ Realm cultivator would be no match for him, unable to resist without moving a finger.
The Chen Mu before him was likely at least a Six Viscera Realm expert.
"I only asked you to answer, not to ask questions," Chen Mu said indifferently. Without any noticeable movement, his body suppressed Bai Shi Yong's heavenly-earth power, shattering his other arm into a bloody mess, bones and all.
The intense pain almost made Bai Shi Yong scream, but he couldn't make a sound. His entire body was pinned to the ground, unable to move, his forehead covered in cold sweat.
"Where did you learn the demonic arts of the Celestial Demon Sect?" Chen Mu asked slowly.
"My patience is limited. If you don't answer, you'll die," Chen Mu said calmly.
"Don't... don't kill me..." Bai Shi Yong finally managed to speak, his voice filled with difficulty as he looked at Chen Mu with a hint of fear in his eyes. "I got it from my grandfather. I don't know about others, but I know my grandfather was practicing it. I helped deliver many blood meals. I'm not sure if others practiced it or not, and my older brother might not even know about this..."
"Bai Yuan Qing?" Chen Mu's gaze swept over Bai Shi Yong, judging if he was lying.
Bai Yuan Qing was the master of the Emerald Rock Mansion, a centenarian in the Six Viscera Realm. Based on Bai Shi Yong's statement, it wasn't hard to deduce that Bai Yuan Qing might have chosen to practice the demonic arts to maintain his cultivation realm and extend his lifespan.
Human desires are endless. When one is in a low position, they strive for higher status; when their cultivation is low, they aspire for higher realms; and when they grow old, they naturally think of prolonging their life. In Chen Mu's eyes, to live a little longer, one would eat human hearts and practice demonic arts, turning themselves into half-human, half-ghosts. Over time, their humanity would fade, becoming no different from demons. Whether they lived or died, there was no distinction; they were undoubtedly evil and heretical.
"Where is your grandfather? Take me to him," Chen Mu said coldly.
If there hadn't been any demonic incidents, he would have only come for the resources of the Emerald Rock Mansion. But now, with the news of the Celestial Demon Sect infiltrating the mansion, he couldn't ignore it.
"Yes, yes..." Bai Shi Yong nodded repeatedly, "My grandfather has been in closed-door cultivation at the back. Please don't kill me, and I'll take you there..."
Bang! Bai Shi Yong's left shoulder shattered, turning into a bloody mess.
"You have no right to bargain. Either walk or die," Chen Mu said coldly, looking at Bai Shi Yong, who was trembling in pain.
"Don't... don't kill me..." Bai Shi Yong pleaded, his voice strained as he looked at Chen Mu.
At this moment, Chen Mu turned his gaze to the side, where the maid, who had been startled by the previous scene, stood. He slightly shook his head at her and reached out to touch her, calming her fear and trembling, causing her to faint.
"Let's go," Chen Mu said, turning to Bai Shi Yong.
He had to save people to the end. This was Bai Shi Yong's courtyard, and since it was a place for cultivating demonic arts, it was currently the safest. No one would dare to come here easily. After figuring out the situation with the Bai family, he would still need to deal with the Emerald Rock Mansion.
Bai Shi Yong trembled as he stood up, his two arms already destroyed, but with his partially formed demonic body, it wasn't a fatal injury. After Chen Mu lifted him, they leaped several times and disappeared into the night of the Emerald Rock Mansion.
Soon, Chen Mu brought Bai Shi Yong deep into the Emerald Rock Mansion to a secluded courtyard where even servants were scarce. There were no maids in sight, no lights, and everything was pitch-black.
Chen Mu sensed the area and didn't detect any living presence in the row of houses.
"Where is the person?"
"Underground..." Bai Shi Yong trembled, "There's a secret passage here, over there. I'll take you."
Following Bai Shi Yong's guidance, Chen Mu entered the dim courtyard and walked to the side. Bai Shi Yong staggered forward a few steps and said, "The secret passage is ahead..."
As he spoke, he led Chen Mu into a dusty study room that seemed long untouched. He touched the lamp on the corner of the desk, and a secret passage appeared before them.
But, almost at that moment, Bai Shi Yong's trembling expression suddenly changed, and his eyes revealed malice and resentment. "Quickly, attack!"
All the previous fear and pain were an act!
He was clear that even if Chen Mu spared his life, as long as the news of the Emerald Rock Mansion's involvement with the Celestial Demon Sect's demonic arts leaked out, the entire mansion would undoubtedly face destruction!
Even though the Fang family was connected to the mansion, they wouldn't be able to protect them from this. This was completely different from their usual disregard for life.
So, from the beginning, there was only one path: kill Chen Mu!
Almost as Bai Shi Yong's shout rang out, a terrifying demonic power erupted from the front, turning into a visible blood light that tore towards Chen Mu.
At the same time, the ground beneath Chen Mu's feet cracked open, and pieces of demonic blood light emerged, almost engulfing him entirely.
"Hahahaha..."
Bai Shi Yong, who was also engulfed in the blood light, burst into laughter, his eyes filled with malevolence as he stared at Chen Mu with a gaze that seemed to regard him as a dead man.
To dare to cause trouble at the Emerald Rock Mansion, it was truly asking for death. Although his strength was indeed extraordinary, and he was likely no weakling even among the Six Viscera Realm cultivators, the problem was that there was currently a high-ranking member of the Celestial Demon Sect within the Emerald Rock Mansion!
A Seventh-Rank Venerable!
With a fully matured Demonic Body, comparable to a Seventh-Rank Demon King among Demon Beasts, and a Marrow Washing Grandmaster in the Human Martial Path!
But...
Even as the blood light nearly engulfed the entire room, Bai Shi Yong did not see any trace of panic in Chen Mu's eyes. All he saw was a pair of eyes as calm and unperturbed as a deep well.
Just as the blood light was about to completely engulf Chen Mu, a cluster of intense purple thunder light burst forth from his body, clashing with the surging blood-colored demonic power nearby. The collision produced a thunderous roar that shook the entire mansion!
Boom!
The impact tore through the entire room, shattering it to pieces. Even the courtyard within a radius of several dozen zhang was affected by the terrifying aftermath, causing buildings to collapse in succession.
The terrifying demonic might that had surged towards Chen Mu was momentarily restrained, attempting to annihilate him within the room. But with this collision, it could no longer be concealed. The two terrifying powers soared into the sky, causing the entire Emerald Rock Mansion to tremble!
For a moment, everyone in the mansion, from the guards to the servants and maids, heard the deafening roar and looked towards the depths of the Emerald Rock Mansion in shock.
This included the elderly servant who had been standing outside Bai Shi Yong's courtyard, having heard some unusual sounds but not daring to enter. Even the younger servants, who had been with him, now looked towards the direction of the sound with astonishment, despite the distance. They could sense an almost suffocating aura emanating from that direction.
What had happened?
Many people showed expressions of shock.
At the same time, deep within the Emerald Rock Mansion, bursts of blood light continued to explode, and Chen Mu stood amidst the purple thunder light, unharmed by the surging blood-colored demonic power.
Not far away, Bai Shi Yong's face was frozen in malevolence, and his gaze towards Chen Mu held a hint of uncertainty and disbelief.
Blocked it?
How... how is that possible?
Although he had been completely powerless against Chen Mu earlier, the one who had just appeared was from the Celestial Demon Sect, a Seventh-Rank Venerable of the sect. He was on par with a Marrow Washing Grandmaster!
Chen Mu, bathed in thunderous power, had blocked the attack of a Seventh-Rank Venerable. The thunderous might that enveloped his body was enough to make even those nearby feel their hearts tremble. Could it be that this person who had secretly infiltrated the Emerald Rock Mansion was also a Martial Arts Grandmaster?!
Impossible!
Why would a revered Grandmasters sneak into the Emerald Rock Mansion? Could it be that their cultivation of the Celestial Demon Secret Technique had been exposed?
But that should be impossible. Anyone who could have leaked the information hasn't survived to this day. He had always made arrangements in this regard, and even within the Bai family, very few people knew about it. In the mansion, only his grandfather and his most favored grandson, Chen Mu, practiced the Celestial Demon Secret Technique. Even his older brother and father were unaware, assuming that Chen Mu was simply violent by nature and enjoyed tormenting young women for pleasure, which wasn't considered a serious matter.
Boom!
Finally, the ground completely shattered, and two figures emerged from the collapsing underground. One of them was Bai Shi Yong's grandfather, Bai Yuan Qing, who still maintained his human form. The other figure had their body hidden beneath a large black cloak, and through the reflection of the thunder light, one could vaguely see scales on their exposed hands.
At this moment, Bai Yuan Qing stared at Chen Mu with a look of shock.
