Chapter 207: Chapter 159: Target Locked [Extra 4 updates in sorrow for Silver Alliance’s failing ashes] Chapter 207: Chapter 159: Target Locked [Extra 4 updates in sorrow for Silver Alliance’s failing ashes] The woman in white swept her sleeves and scattered all the objects around her. Immediately, the Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures and the high-grade elixirs began to float and fly.

With a swirl of her long sleeve, those items disappeared instantly.

“You, hand over one-third of your inner pill’s strength,” she ordered, looking at the giant bird.

“Yes, Your Majesty.”

The bird had no intention of resisting and obediently spat out a shining inner pill. It split the pill into two, offering the smaller half with the utmost respect.

“I hope Your Majesty will accept, despite the poor quality of my inner pill,” the bird flattered, despite the pain that made it shudder.

Even if this being was to take all of its inner pills, it knew it would not be able to resist.

“Well done. You’re obedient and understanding. You should live a long life.”

The woman in white casually took the smaller inner pill and said, “Thank you three for your generous assistance. I take my leave.”

She slightly nodded and floated away casually, disappearing suddenly and leaving no trace.

For a moment, the three men and the bird looked at each other as if they had just woken up from a nightmare.

What just happened?

Such a powerful existence, appeared suddenly, just to rob us?

Is it too unfair, or are we too highly regarded and given too much face?!

This scenario is not to quiet a conscience, being robbed by the Demon Emperor in person, is really very mystical.

In other words, they all escaped from a Demon Emperor unscathed!

This is enough to brag about for a lifetime!

However, the three men and the bird would prefer not to meet this person again in this life or any future life, too scared and fearful!

Better to have never met, and best not to meet again!

However, the three were a bit unhappy. You said ‘willingly assisted’, why didn’t you say ‘will repay in the future’?

If you had said that, it would be a karmatic bond.

But you were so stingy that you didn’t even say that, does that mean this is a free gift?

“Stop overthinking, let’s go.”

The great bird shivered, “Let’s hurry up and leave. I guess the Queen was in a good mood today… If we don’t go now, what if she changes her mind and falls out with us…”

Mo Yuanqing was worried, “Can you… manage right now?”

After all, one-third of his inner pill had been taken forcefully, could it withstand the loss?

The bird was so anxious that its feathers were about to stand on end, “Can we not waste time talking? Whether I can or not, I have to. It’s better to leave, even if it’s to lose some more. If we stay, what if the Queen uses up the things we gave her and comes back for more inner pills? Such a causal link, at this rate, it’s just too easy to understand!”

That makes a lot of sense.

Hurriedly, the men packed up the leftovers and climbed onto the bird’s back again. The bird couldn’t wait to take off even before they were settled. It was in such a rush

The speed was even faster than when it teleported.

Didn’t want to stay in this place for a moment longer.

Originally, it was just a rest, but now it had left a third of its inner pill here, which was more wasteful than a bloody battle.

Ouch! How is it possible that such a weird thing happened? And I’m the one who happened to be the unlucky one!

My luck, it’s just too bad!

In some unknown deep valley.

A white figure let out a soft sigh and collapsed exhaustedly onto the ground, revealing a large white cat.

“The injuries are really serious. Otherwise, I wouldn’t have let them go… It’s a chance to expose their tracks.”

The large white cat was also a little surprised, “I wanted to say ‘will repay in the future’, but I felt that I shouldn’t… why is that? Could there be another cause and effect here?”

“But now that we have all these things, we can hope for recovery.”

The big white cat swallowed the bird’s inner pill, shaking its head, its cat face showing human-like disgust, “The inner qi of this bird is mixed with many impurities. If only it learnt to refine its inner pill to purity. No wonder the bird strain is only at King Rank, it’s really useless.”

“But at least it can replenish some losses, nourish the qi and blood, just endure it.”

If the big bird heard this, it would probably cry.

I worked hard for a lifetime, and now you’ve taken a third of it, plus you’re complaining about the quality of my medicinal energy. This is just too unreasonable!

The big white cat began to circulate its energy, using the newly acquired supplies to recover from its injuries, with a misty white fog rising from his body.

Now the first priority is to recover quickly. Only when the cultivation is fully recovered can I pick up my daughter, and also look for my husband. He has been missing ever since he lured away the Purple Emperor.

But, judging from my conversation with the Purple Emperor, he should be alive and not captured.

But now I don’t know what’s happened to him or where he is.

No news is good news, but that kind of good news is barely compensation.

…

Feng Yin had not woken up from his sleep when the people from the Supreme Mountain had already arrived at Yuezhou for revenge.

This is the backing of a big sect, so revenge can be taken overnight!

When the bird appeared in the sky above Yuezhou and landed with its mighty aura, He Bibiqu and the others were utterly stunned.

Whoever could ride a mature peak King Rank demon beast, could not be a minor figure; with such cultivation level, there was no one who could match them in the current Yuezhou!

Since he was powerless to intervene, he decided to feign ignorance, pretending as though it never happened.

After all, such people were unlikely to seek him for trouble. It was probably some kind of vendetta from the jianghu world.

Especially now with the widespread rumors about Sky Stealer, it was highly likely that some major sects he had offended before were looking to kill him!

Indeed, it must be so.

The Supreme Mountain was the one to pursue Sky Stealer back in the day… and no doubt, they would be again.

Without any hesitation, the three Mo brothers made a beeline for Mo Zhengdao’s mansion and swiftly found the severely wounded Old Zhou.

“Old Zhou! What on earth has happened?”

After using some medicinal pills to awaken Old Zhou, Mo Yuantu immediately asked him about the whole incident.

“What… what happened? I was almost beaten to death… Ah, Mo Zhengdao was murdered.”

Old Zhou had been unconscious all this while. The ruthless blow from Zhuang Weiran had claimed ninety-nine percent of his life. Up until now, he didn’t even realise that the person he was supposed to protect was already dead.

If the Mo brothers had arrived half or a full day later, he would have followed suit and died.

The fact that Zhuang Weiran didn’t finish him off at the time was because Zhuang knew well the gap between them. The single strike should have been enough to end his life, but the Mo brothers’ timely arrival, alongside various life-saving medicines, threw some uncertainty into this seemingly foregone conclusion.

“Xiaoyu is gone.”

Mo Yuantu bit his lip and turned away, “From the looks of it, it happened after you were seriously injured.”

“The young master… is dead?!”

Old Zhou was shocked to his core, sitting up abruptly despite his injuries. He vomited a mouthful of fresh blood and then collapsed back onto the bed, his eyes vacant: “The young master… is gone? How… how did that happen?”

He was genuinely distressed.

The death of Mo Xiaoyu, whom he was supposed to protect, was the equivalent of an absolute disaster for him.

Being unable to protect was a grave crime in the eyes of the Supreme Mountain.

Moreover…

The mistress had also come this time. And just by looking at the coldness and killer intent in her eyes — like she could devour him whole — Old Zhou knew he was finished.

A bereaved mother, how could she possibly be reasoned with?

“Tell us what happened,” said Mo Yuantu in a grave voice. “Old Zhou, you can rest assured. You were injured first, and you’ve done your utmost. I, Mo Yuantu, am not a person who can’t tell right from wrong. I won’t blame you.”

Old Zhou coughed weakly, saying: “I am still to blame for not being able to protect the young master. I am utterly ashamed…”

“Last night, the young master and I were here drinking… Mo Zhengdao…”

Old Zhou stuttered out the whole story: “The young master ordered me to catch the intruder. I attacked the person, but before I could strike him down, someone appeared out of nowhere and slashed at me. After that, I remember nothing…”

“Just one blow?”

Mo Yuanqing asked, seeking clarification.

“Yes, just one blow!”

Mo Yuantu and Mo Yuanqing exchanged a reading glance, both understanding the seriousness reflected in each other’s eyes.

Old Zhou had reached the Earth Level Nine, and even in the entire world, he could not to be disregarded. Self-protection should have been more than enough for him.

As long as the old ancestors of those sects didn’t come forth, as long as he didn’t provoke the princes of the Seven Great Empires, basically, he would be fine.

Moreover, Old Zhou was only tasked with protection; he would never have initiated any trouble.

But now, he was simply and easily slashed into this state with a single blow.

So, who could this person be?

“How could Mo Zhengdao possibly provoke such a formidable enemy?”

“There might be more to it. I suspect… it may involve assassins from Heavenly Judge…”

Old Zhou, as if suddenly recalling something, struggled to speak: “I heard Mo Zhengdao mention a few times that there were assassins from the Heavenly Judge after him.”

“Assassins from Heavenly Judge?!”

“Are there any other clues?”

Old Zhou’s eyes flickered, saying: “I can’t remember anything else at the moment…”

“Heavenly Judge assassins!”

Cold light flickered in Mo Yuantu’s eyes: “If it’s the assassins from Heavenly Judge, then it’s easier for us to investigate.”

Everyone quickly understood the meaning behind this statement.

Heavenly Judge’s assassins always left a record of who was killed, and they never concealed this information. It was always disclosed to the public.

Once they found out who murdered Mo Zhengdao, then the perpetrator was without a doubt that same person!

To these people, this kind of investigation was minor work, easily done.

In just a short while, the results of the investigation came in.

“Gold Rank target, Mo Zhengdao… Reporting to the heavens, responding to the people on earth.”

“Mission completed, completed by Gentle; Rank, Gold; Serial number…”

[I find myself in an unfortunate situation. Tomorrow, mother and son are insisting that I accompany them to the mountains for a day, ugh, such a nuisance. But to lure me into accompanying them, my wife gave me a condition, to which I immediately agreed.

One thousand dollars of pocket money!!

Ha ha ha, smooth!… So, I’m sorry, I feel ashamed for betraying you out of greed for this thousand dollars. Let’s update tomorrow night, then…]
