Chapter 243: Chapter 111: Millennium Family! Demon Monster Crystalization!_4
Su Changkong was skilled in blade technique and had once battled with Qi Chenghong in Ink Forest Prefecture City, but at that time, he was disguised, and he was also quite weak, not having reached the realm of Qi Blood Four Transformation or higher.
Later on, when impersonating Sikong Yong, Su Changkong rarely used blade technique and was not listed in the intelligence Gong Yulong provided to Mu Jin.
Seeing Gong Yulong groveling, Mu Jin also lost the mood to continue scolding him and began to ponder carefully, “Above Qi Blood Four Transformation, among martial artists skilled in blade technique, there aren’t any who have slain Demon Monsters, perhaps I should broaden the criteria… There are only a few martial artists in Ink Forest Prefecture City capable of injuring a Demon Monster, a visit won’t take too much time.”
The way Mu Jin sought the person who killed the Demon Monster was simple and crude; anyone capable of such a feat must be a top expert in Ink Forest Prefecture City. Therefore, why not loosen the requirements and visit each of them in turn!
“Xiao Bili, Sikong Yong, Li Anning…”
Mu Jin looked at the intelligence in his hands about the top experts of Ink Forest Prefecture City and, although he didn’t think that these people had the strength to slay a Demon Monster, he didn’t have any other leads!
…
Giant Whale Gang.
Su Changkong quietly cultivated, feeling the strength of the Qi-Blood Pill Medicine spreading throughout his body, and he couldn’t help feeling somewhat helpless, “To complete Qi Blood Seven Transformation and reach the realm of Qi-Blood Long Dragon, it will take three or four months, and that’s assuming the Pill Medicine is sufficient… I’m running low on money.”
Su Changkong’s Giant Whale Skill had made a breakthrough to the 6th realm, and his ability to refine Pill Medicine had improved. Reaching Qi Blood Seven Transformation was not difficult for him, but this was under the prerequisite that he had enough Qi-Blood Pills to swiftly enhance his Qi and Blood!
Previously, breaking through from the Fourth to the Sixth Transformation had already consumed more than half of his 1.3 million taels of silver, and the remainder was not quite enough.
Su Changkong considered whether to ask Sikong Wen for some money. Although he was too embarrassed to ask directly, he had killed Feng Mo for Sikong Wen’s son Sikong Yong as revenge, so it seemed only right to receive some compensation.
“The Blade Qi within me has been re-nurtured to its peak, and once I break through to the Qi-Blood Long Dragon realm, my body’s endurance will be strong enough, and the quality of this Blade Qi can still rise!”
Su Changkong introspected on the blade-shaped Blade Qi within him. Nurturing it with his body, accumulating Blade Qi was now much faster than before. It had taken him just over half a month to return to his peak after fully expending his Blade Qi.
“Master Su, the Second Miss seeks your presence.”
At this moment, a disciple of the Giant Whale Gang arrived outside Su Changkong’s residence and knocked on the courtyard door, speaking respectfully to Su Changkong upon seeing him.
“Hmm, I understand.”
Su Changkong nodded, curious about what she wanted at this time, but without hesitating too much, he decided to go and find out.
When Su Changkong met with Sikong Huang, he asked, “Second Sister, has something happened within the Giant Whale Gang?”
Sikong Huang nodded, her expression slightly solemn, “A guest arrived not long ago at the Giant Whale Gang, specifically asking to see my father by name… He calls himself Mu Jin and claims to be from Dafeng State City.”
“From Dafeng State City? Mu Jin?”
Su Changkong was slightly surprised.
Dafeng State City was the true bustling center of Dafeng State, the capital of the entire state. Ink Forest Prefecture City was merely a city within a prefecture and, compared to Dafeng State City, it was like the difference between a small eighteenth-tier town and a first-tier metropolis!
“He wants to see Sikong Yong? For what purpose?” Su Changkong asked. This person from Dafeng State City had come directly to the Giant Whale Gang and sought an audience with Sikong Yong, likely his request was no trivial matter.
“I don’t know… This person is quite extraordinary, with a noble bearing, presumably with no ordinary background. He stated that he has important matters to discuss with the Gang Leader and has already been led to the reception hall. My elder brother is personally accompanying him. Do you want to meet him, Third Brother?”
Sikong Huang shook her head.
Just by appearances, it was clear that Mu Jin was no ordinary individual. Coming from Dafeng State City and carrying such a dangerously potent aura, the Giant Whale Gang naturally did not wish to offend such a person with an extraordinary background, and so they warmly received him.
“Hmm… Let’s go meet him then.”
Su Changkong pondered briefly and, also wanting to know the purpose of the other party’s visit to the Giant Whale Gang, decided to meet this Mu Jin.
Su Changkong then dressed up, disguising himself as Sikong Yong, and accompanied Sikong Huang to the hall where distinguished guests were received.
In a large hall, Su Changkong saw Mu Jin.
“This person… is very dangerous!”
And upon seeing Mu Jin, Su Changkong understood why even Sikong Zhan had personally accompanied him.
Mu Jin wore white clothing, had handsome features, and appeared graceful, but the cold aura he exuded made others quite uncomfortable. Just feeling his presence was enough to understand that he was an extremely dangerous person!
“Third Brother has arrived.” Sikong Zhan breathed a sigh of relief when he saw Su Changkong appear.
Being alone with Mu Jin, Sikong Zhan had tried to probe the purpose of his visit, but Mu Jin had simply ignored him, quietly sipping his tea. Such rude behavior silently infuriated Sikong Zhan, though he felt it was not appropriate to make a scene.
“I am Sikong Yong. I’ve had the pleasure of meeting Mr. Mu Jin.”
Dressed as Sikong Yong, Su Changkong seated himself opposite and courteously greeted him.
“Hmm, I’ve met Gang Leader Sikong.” Seeing the main person in question, Mu Jin finally put down his teacup and nodded slightly.
“I heard that Mr. Mu comes from Dafeng State City. May I ask the reason for gracing the Giant Whale Gang with your presence?”
Su Changkong cut to the chase inquiring about the purpose of Mu Jin’s visit.
Mu Jin stared intently at Su Changkong and asked, “The Demon Monster that was causing havoc recently, I have heard that you had an encounter with it.”
“Are you here because of that Demon Monster?” Su Changkong was immediately alarmed and realized the purpose of the other’s visit—it was about the Demon Monster!
He had come all the way from Dafeng State City to inquire about it?
Surprised, yet showing no change in expression, Su Changkong said, “Indeed, I have crossed paths with it. That Demon Monster was strong; it managed to injure me.”
Upon hearing this, Mu Jin maintained a poker face and indifferently commented, “At that time, the Demon Monster had just completed Nirvana and its strength was less than half of its peak. If it had been at its peak, you might have ended up with more than just injuries.”
Mu Jin was expressionless, but his words conveyed a slight disdain, as if he was naturally superior to others!
Disregarding the slightly uncomfortable faces of everyone in the room, Mu Jin’s eyes remained fixed on Su Changkong, “Gang Leader Sikong, was that Demon Monster killed by your hand?”
