Chapter 346: Chapter 211: Giant Body

「The Da Xuan Envoy.」

Amidst howling winds, a figure with wings sprouting from its back descended from the sky.

WHOOSH—the pair of wings wreathed in wind and lightning vanished.

Immediately after, another shadow plummeted from the sky, slamming heavily onto the ground.

The shadow was a snow-white fox.

The moment Lv Lake saw the white fox, he couldn’t help but cry out in alarm.

"Senior Sister Tushan?"

’So she really is from the Demon Court.’

Su Mu said flatly, "So, Lord Lv, does this mean the Demon Court has no intention of holding peace talks with Da Xuan?"

"Lord Su, what are you saying? If the Demon Court didn’t want peace talks, why would the Saint Venerable and the National Preceptor have sent me to Da Xuan?"

Lv Lake countered.

"Then how do you explain this?"

Su Mu pointed at the fox and said coldly, "Why did she try to obstruct our path?

Was she not acting on orders from the Demon Court?"

"No, absolutely not!"

Lv Lake hastily replied.

He wanted to cry but had no tears.

’How did Su Mu manage to capture Senior Sister Tushan too?’

’Damn it.’

’Why is this Su Mu such a monster?’

"A misunderstanding. I think, it must be a misunderstanding."

Lv Lake said, "Lord Su, how about you let us wake Senior Sister Tushan first? Then we can explain everything.

We will be sure to give you a satisfactory explanation."

"I am giving you a chance."

Su Mu said coldly, "If the Demon Court isn’t sincere, then there’s no point in these talks. We can just turn around and return to Da Xuan."

"Lord Su, please believe me, our Demon Court is absolutely sincere about the peace talks."

Lv Lake said hastily.

’If the Da Xuan Envoy turns back, the National Preceptor will skin me alive for sure.’

With a wave of his sleeve, a burst of energy settled upon the white fox.

The white fox whimpered and slowly opened her eyes.

The next moment, she leaped to her feet, warily surveying her surroundings.

When she saw that she was surrounded by people, all her fur stood on end. She let out a snarl, baring a pair of sharp claws.

"If you’re looking to die, I can oblige you."

Su Mu said calmly.

Lv Lake quickly lunged forward and forced Tushan Hanyu’s claws down.

"Senior Sister, calm down! Don’t do anything rash!"

Lv Lake cried out anxiously.

’If Senior Sister Tushan really tries to attack him here, Su Mu will kill her without a second thought.’

"Lv Lake—"

Tushan Hanyu came to her senses. She glanced at Lv Lake, then turned to see Su Mu, and her pupils contracted sharply.

"You—you—"

Her voice trembled as she stammered.

"Lv Lake, tell her I’m giving you the time it takes for one incense stick to burn."

Su Mu turned and walked away, saying as he went, "After one incense stick, if you can’t give me a satisfactory explanation, you will all die.

Of course, you’re welcome to try and escape.

This is the wilderness. Who knows, you might even have a chance to escape back to the Demon Court."

"You jest, Lord Su. Why would we try to escape?"

Lv Lake said with an awkward smile.

Tushan Hanyu started to say something, but Lv Lake had already pulled her aside and was whispering to her urgently.

"Junior Brother Su, what’s the situation?"

Xu Chongyuan sidled up to Su Mu and whispered.

He shot a curious glance at Su Mu’s shoulder.

Perched on Su Mu’s shoulder was a tiny, palm-sized lizard. Strangely, it had horns on its head.

It looked a bit like that "Flood Dragon" from outside Hujue Pass.

He didn’t give it much thought, his interest drawn more to the white fox.

’Su Mu just steps out for a moment and comes back with not only a tiny pet, but a demon from the Demon Court, too?’

’And from the way Lv Lake was talking, this white fox seems to be someone important.’

"A demon from the Demon Court. Just like the others, she tried to intimidate us, so I just nabbed her and brought her back."

Su Mu said nonchalantly.

Xu Chongyuan was left breathless. His admiration for Su Mu surged like a mighty river.

’A Tier Three Demon... he says he’ll capture her, and he just does?’

’He could imagine this Tier Three Demon wasn’t acting alone, either.’

’In other words, Su Mu must have had to fight off multiple demons while capturing a Tier Three Demon alive.’

’The difficulty of that feat was anything but ordinary.’

’Why does it feel like since entering the wilderness, Su Mu hasn’t been affected by the Demonic Qi at all? If anything, he seems even stronger.’

"Why not just kill her? Isn’t bringing her back more trouble?"

Xu Chongyuan asked.

"Kill one, another comes. You can never kill them all. It’s just an endless nuisance."

Su Mu said, "I’m done playing games. It’s time to go to the Demon Court.

We’re not afraid, but Mr. Zhu is frail and can’t stay in the wilderness for too long."

"So capturing this white fox means no more trouble ahead?"

Xu Chongyuan mused.

"I gave them a way out. If they refuse to take it, well, that’s easy enough to handle."

A sharp, killing intent flashed in Su Mu’s eyes.

Demons coming to harass them every few days... although Su Mu wasn’t afraid, he was growing weary of the constant bother.

He had now reached Rebirth Perfection. Most importantly, after his Cyan Dragon Divine Body also reached Perfection, his blood had become even more effective for Ao Qing.

Not long ago, Ao Qing had already broken through to Tier Six!

Even in the entire Demon Court, Tier Six Demons were few and far between.

As for the Taiping Bureau, only the handful of Marquises could contend with a Tier Six Demon.

A Taiping Bureau Commander like Li Tingkui, at the Peak of the Core Formation Realm, could fight a Tier Five Demon. But against the current Ao Qing, he would be defeated with a single slap.

The Ao Qing of today was a true Flood Dragon, worthy of the name.

Not only had its power soared, but it could now also change its size at will—growing to be dozens of yards long, or shrinking to the size of a man’s palm.

Therefore, it no longer needed to hide underground and could perch openly on Su Mu’s shoulder for all to see.
