Chapter 1464: Chapter 1463: Pursuit and Assassination (Second Update)

Little Wood Village.

Today, a group of uninvited guests arrived, dozens of streaks of spiritual light, accompanied by a powerful noise of breaking through the air, descended from the sky, landing outside Mu Xue’er’s small courtyard.

Leading them was a young man dressed in a blue brocade robe, named Teng Muci, the only beloved son of the mayor of Qingyuan Town.

At this moment, looking at the corpses on the ground, Teng Muci furrowed his brows tightly.

"Young master, come quickly!" a guard urgently called out.

Whoosh!

Teng Muci’s body flickered and he instantly appeared beside the guard, looking at the corpse on the ground, a sharp pain shot through his heart, and he cried out in shock.

"Ah! Cousin!!!"

He pounced on the ground, tightly hugging Ye Man Niu’s corpse, tears streaming down his cheeks. 𝙛𝒓𝒆𝙚𝒘𝒆𝓫𝙣𝓸𝙫𝓮𝒍.𝒄𝒐𝓶

"Young master, from the state of the young master’s body, it seems he died less than three hours ago, the killer shouldn’t be far away! Furthermore, from the information returned by the Echo Jade Slip, the perpetrator is a young human, likely at Qi Cultivation Perfection! If we pursue now, we should be able to catch him!" the guard said.

"How dare someone kill my cousin, I will cut him into a thousand pieces, and refine his soul into a puppet, torturing him day and night! To let him beg for life and can’t find death!" Teng Muci roared with a ferocious expression.

"Young master, look quickly, this seems to be the jade pendant that madam gave the master!" one guard said.

"Ah! This is my grandfather’s jade pendant! Damn it, you little bastard, you dare to kill my cousin and my grandfather! I swear I will cut you into a thousand pieces!!!" Duanmu Ci roared to the sky with red eyes.

"Young master, time is of the essence, we should hurry and pursue!"

"Hmph! No rush, having killed my cousin and grandfather, you still think you can escape? Impossible! To capture the killer, I brought the Xuan Dog Puppet Beast from the manor, with it, as long as that little bastard is within ten thousand miles, he can’t escape!" Teng Muci said with a cold smile.

Saying this, he patted the storage bag at his waist with his right hand, and a six-foot-tall black puppet appeared on the ground.

Suppressing the heartache, Duanmu Ci took out ten middle-grade Spirit Stones and inserted them into the mouth of the black puppet.

He twisted his hands to form a seal and lowly roared: "Sniff out the scent of the young human for me, find him for this young master!"

Then, the Xuan Dog Puppet mechanically moved its limbs, walking on the ground, and sniffed a few times with its massive nose.

"Woof Woof!" The Xuan Dog Puppet let out a low growl, moved its limbs, and charged forward quickly.

"Let’s go! Follow it!" Teng Muci called out, leapt into the air, and led a group of guards back onto the Spirit Boat.

The Spirit Boat quivered and swiftly followed behind the Xuan Dog Puppet, chasing after the trail left by Zhang Xiaohao.

...

Zhang Xiaohao wasn’t aware that the people from Qingyuan Town would come so quickly, and that they had a Xuan Dog Puppet which excelled in tracking.

At this time.

Zhang Xiaohao headed east, deliberately choosing secluded routes.

"Huh! Is that the scent of a Thousand-year-old Red Fruit?" Zhang Xiaohao suddenly stopped, frowning.

He sniffed hard, indeed! It was unmistakably the scent of a Thousand-year-old Red Fruit.

"I can’t believe my luck is so good, encountering a Thousand-year-old Red Fruit!" Zhang Xiaohao said with a smile.

He tapped the ground with one foot, walked with the Twelve Heavenly Steps, and surged forward, following the scent of the Thousand-year-old Red Fruit.

Shortly afterward.

Zhang Xiaohao stopped a hundred steps from a cold pool, in front appeared a two-hundred-foot-wide cold pond, the entire cold pool was black, with thick poisonous gas emanating from it.

In the middle of the black cold pool, a small fiery red sapling grew, with ten fiery red fruits hanging on it, this was the Thousand-year-old Red Fruit, each the size of an adult’s fist, exuding a rich fragrance, its potency was over ten times stronger than the Earth’s Red Fruit, if not more.

"Truly the Spirit Realm! The same Red Fruit, with the same age, but with medicinal power over ten times that of Earth, or even greater! However, in this black cold pool, there must be a powerful demon beast guarding it! Otherwise, the Thousand-year-old Red Fruit would have been devoured by other demon beasts or wild beasts!" Zhang Xiaohao thought to himself.

He scanned with his Divine Thought, peering into the black cold pool.

In the Divine Thought’s view, at the bottom of the black cold pool, hidden a three-foot-large toad, emanating the cultivation of Qi Cultivation Perfection, just a step away from the Foundation Establishment Realm.

"Could this ugly toad be trying to use these ten Thousand-year-old Red Fruits to break through to the Foundation Establishment Realm?" Zhang Xiaohao wondered suspiciously.

"Treasure belongs to those capable! Since I’ve encountered it, how could I leave empty-handed!" Zhang Xiaohao’s eyes flashed with determination.

Currently, he had almost nothing; if he didn’t grab something good and refine some elixirs, even with his cultivation speed, breaking through to the Foundation Establishment Realm would take at least half a year—or even a year.

"First transformation!" Zhang Xiaohao lowly roared.

In a flash, he transformed into a tiny Shadow Demon Mosquito, the aura completely restrained, rushing toward the Thousand-year-old Red Fruit in the black cold pool.

Ten steps, nine steps, eight steps... three steps, two steps, one step!

Just one step away from the black cold pool, and the ugly toad below still hadn’t noticed his presence.

Finally, Zhang Xiaohao could breathe a sigh of relief.

Fluttering his wings, he flew towards the Thousand-year-old Red Fruit.

"Collect!" Zhang Xiaohao lowly roared.

With one hand, he grasped the whole Thousand-year-old Red Fruit along with the sapling, storing it in the Shennong Ring.

Having done everything, Zhang Xiaohao dared not delay, fluttering his wings and quickly fleeing forward.

Croak, croak, croak!!!

Just as the Thousand-year-old Red Fruit disappeared, an angry roar echoed from the bottom of the cold pool.

Boom!

Immediately, the surrounding river water reversed, forming a massive black light curtain, with emerald green toxic gas swirling within, a three-yard-large ugly toad emerged from the bottom of the black cold pool, just in time to see the Shadow Demon Mosquito Zhang Xiaohao had transformed into.

Croak, croak, croak!!!

Seeing this detestable mosquito, dared to steal the opportunity for its breakthrough, the ugly toad angrily roared.

A long tongue shot from its mouth, curling towards Zhang Xiaohao.

"Damn! How could I forget this, toads are naturally adept at restraining mosquitoes! Although this Shadow Demon Mosquito is extraordinary, it’s ultimately still a mosquito and susceptible to this toad’s restraint!" Zhang Xiaohao thought, frustrated.

Seeing the crimson tongue approaching, Zhang Xiaohao couldn’t afford any other thoughts, he immediately reverted his transformation.

"Nine Stars in a Row!" Changing the hand seal, and with a whirl of nature’s spiritual energy, nine fireballs carrying terrifying heat blazed towards the tongue.
