Chapter 163: The Killing Demon Lord (Part 3)

At the critical moment, Cheng Wu's strength suddenly surged.
Su Chen was slightly surprised.
"The God of Slaughter's Guide, this is a secret technique of the God of Slaughter Palace. Where did you obtain it?"
Cheng Wu breathed a sigh of relief: "You can't kill me. I'm also a member of the God of Slaughter Palace, obeying Young Master Wusheng, and infiltrating the Yi Jian Pavilion. If you kill me, Young Master Wusheng will definitely not let you off."
Su Chen became interested: "Who is this Young Master Wusheng you speak of?"
Cheng Wu was somewhat taken aback: "You, as a member of the God of Slaughter Palace, don't even know Young Master Wusheng? Young Master Wusheng is the successor of the God of Slaughter Emperor, the number one genius of the God of Slaughter Palace. Even the three Palace Masters dare not disrespect Young Master Wusheng."
Su Chen indeed didn't know Young Master Wusheng, nor had he ever heard of such a person, but he did know about the God of Slaughter Emperor. He was the founder of the God of Slaughter Palace, a fearsome emperor who had slaughtered countless geniuses of all races, proving his Dao through killing.
The Emperor's inheritance... Su Chen's interest was completely piqued. He wouldn't remain indifferent to the inheritance of an Emperor.
Su Chen continued, "What is your purpose in infiltrating the Yi Jian Pavilion? Where is Young Master Wusheng now?"
Cheng Wu coldly snorted, "These are not things you can inquire about. I advise you to leave here as soon as possible. If you kill me, Young Master Wusheng will not let you go. The sect master of the Yi Jian Pavilion is already on his way. If you don't leave, you won't be able to leave later."
Su Chen sighed.
His figure vanished like a ghost. Just when Cheng Wu thought Su Chen had left, a small hand covered his face. Cheng Wu tried to resist, but instantly his limbs were severed, and he couldn't utter a sound.
"Why bother?"
Gazing at Cheng Wu's despairing eyes, Su Chen's eyes were deathly still.
Cheng Wu refused to confess. He only knew a little about the soul-searching techniques, and although it would take some time, it was insignificant compared to certain secrets, even if it revealed some of his trump cards.
Cheng Wu's struggles, initially fierce, gradually subsided into calm. His eyes were empty, like a dead man.
"Interesting."
Su Chen's lips curled into a smile.
Cheng Wu had submitted to the Unborn Young Master ten years ago, infiltrating the Yi Jian Pavilion. There were many pawns like Cheng Wu, placed by the Unborn Young Master in various places, even among other races beyond the Eternal Realm. However, these people didn't know each other, only aware of their existence. The Unborn Young Master seemed to be using these pawns, waiting for something.
As for this Unborn Young Master, he was a legend. Fifty years ago, he obtained the inheritance of the Killing Emperor of the Killing God Palace, rising to become the current Killing Master of the Killing God Palace. Even the three Palace Masters had to obey him. He rose rapidly, gaining countless opportunities, but somehow disappeared eight years ago without a trace.
Su Chen sensed that this Young Master Wusheng was no ordinary person!
Perhaps he was another person of great fortune, possessing extraordinary abilities.
Perhaps he had foresight, or perhaps he was a reincarnated powerhouse.
"Young Master Wusheng knows of my existence; I might cause him trouble in the future, so he sent the Killing Saint King to nip me in the bud."
"Today's events are no coincidence. It must have been orchestrated by a powerful figure within the Killing God Palace, most likely my nominal master, the Killing Saint King. He isn't entirely subservient to the Unborn Prince and wants to use me to eliminate him. Therefore, he made me replace Killing Child, becoming the successor of the Killing lineage, and forbidding me from revealing any information about Lu Chen's identity."
Thus, everything makes sense.
Having lived for tens of thousands of years, Su Chen's mind was naturally meticulous and profound. He quickly guessed the cause and effect. Even if there were discrepancies, Su Chen believed they wouldn't be significant.
He found it very interesting. A person with great fortune, seemingly able to foresee the future, or perhaps reborn from the future, and the turbulent Killing God Palace—this life was destined to be extraordinary.
Su Chen narrowed his eyes and murmured, "It took some time, allowing the Pavilion Master of the Yi Sword Pavilion to arrive. It seems I'll need to spend some effort erasing the scene."
With his current strength, facing a King-level expert at the Profound Realm...
That's enough.
A great battle erupted, then quickly ended, leaving only a desolate scene.
...
The Xiao Family
The Xiao family was one of the four great families of the Northern Star Dynasty. The five children born to the head of the Xiao family were all exceptional individuals.
The eldest son, Xiao Xuance, was a great general of the Northern Star Dynasty, undefeated and a legend in the military.
The second son, Xiao Lingxue, was a true disciple of the Misty Sacred Palace.
The third son, Xiao Jin, was the richest man in the Northern Star Dynasty, controlling the largest merchant guild.
The youngest son, Xiao Yueli, was one of the ten greatest geniuses of the Northern Star Dynasty.
In this nest of exceptional talents, however, emerged a scoundrel.
The fourth son, Xiao Sha, was a notorious playboy in the Northern Star Dynasty, a good-for-nothing. Relying on his status as a young master of the Xiao family, he frequented brothels, and the most beautiful courtesans in the capital fell victim to his cruelty.
In a courtyard, a woman in simple white robes sat gracefully, as pure as a white lotus. Her slender fingers danced across the ancient strings of a zither, producing melodious tunes.
Beside the railing, a man in a blue robe leaned against the wall, resembling a refined scholar, his gaze serene.
This man was none other than Xiao Sha, the fourth young master of the Xiao family, also known as the a spoiled, dissolute young master by outsiders.
Xiao Sha harbored a secret.
He... was actually a reincarnated individual, reborn three thousand years ago!
In his previous life, he was mediocre, watching helplessly as the Xiao family was destroyed. He left the Northern Star Dynasty, drifting aimlessly for the rest of his life, only to be stopped at the Nirvana Realm, filled with too many regrets. In this life, he would make amends for all those regrets.
His first act after his rebirth was to seize the legendary inheritance of the Killing Emperor, adopting the alias "Young Master Wusheng." He gained the favor of the Killing Ancestor, becoming the leader of the Killing God Palace. He gathered together the once-famous commoner geniuses from his previous life, waiting for their opportunities to arise, to plunder them, according to his memories.
Those who stirred up trouble in his past life, those he could kill, he nipped in the bud.
For example, Lu Chen, the Primordial Spirit Saint who stirred up trouble in his past life, was dealt with by the Killing Saint King he sent out beforehand, and is probably already reincarnated.
"Damn Divine Fire Venerable!"
If it weren't for the Divine Fire Venerable injuring him, why would he have been silent for so long?
He originally intended to seize the Heavenly Flame of the Fire Realm, but unexpectedly, the Divine Fire Venerable of the Fire Realm was still alive. Even with the inheritance of the Killing Emperor and numerous opportunities, Xiao Sha was still fiercely injured by a powerhouse a whole realm higher than him. Over the years, Xiao Sha had offended too many people. To prevent his enemies from taking advantage of the situation, Xiao Sha had no choice but to return to the Xiao family to recover from his injuries.
The woman in plain clothes playing the zither looked at Xiao Sha with her beautiful eyes, thinking to herself, "Everyone thinks the fourth young master of the Xiao family is a wastrel... but who knows that the most terrifying person in the entire Xiao family is this fourth young master!"
Suddenly, Xiao Sha's expression changed!
