One person established a clan

Chapter 44: Pride
"."

Looking at the shocking human head on the table, the entire restaurant fell into silence.

The drinkers and merchants who had been paying attention to this place were all dumbfounded and stood frozen in shock.

Is someone from the Qixuan Sect dead?

Wang Shengtao, who had been a tyrant for years, was actually beheaded by this person with a single sword strike?!

It was not until Su Cheng took Shi Xuan out of the restaurant that the panicked screams began to rang out.

The bustling city streets, once filled with laughter and joy, were suddenly replaced by panic, with passers-by fleeing in panic.

But within a few moments, the streets and alleys became deserted, with only a few vague gazes peeking over.

"—There's no need to hide it."

Su Cheng stood in the middle of the street, looking around calmly. "Anyone who wants to help him out, please show up now."

"Brother, you are too arrogant!"

A low roar filled with anger suddenly sounded.

Suddenly, the window of the brothel not far away shattered, and a giant with a curly beard jumped out and landed on the ground with a loud bang.

His muscular upper body was bare, his face twisted and distorted, and he let out a cruel laugh that was filled with rage: "Who gave you the courage to kill a disciple under the nose of my Qixuan Sect!?"

As the harsh words were uttered, the man stepped out onto the cracked brick floor step by step. The aura around him surged, and his body, covered with sweat and rouge, showed faint red lines.

Su Cheng looked at him calmly as he continued to approach. "Who are you?"

"Wang Zhao from the inner sect of Qixuan Sect." The burly man made a move and a broad and thick sword flew out from the building and landed steadily in his palm.

The murderous intent in his eyes flashed like substance, and he glared angrily: "Die—"

Chi!
The sword flashed, and a beam of blood shot up into the sky.

Wang Zhao's ferocious face froze, his mouth gradually opened, and the murderous aura around him dissipated in an instant.

He stumbled two steps, eyes full of astonishment, and spoke in a hoarse, intermittent voice: "How, how can this be?"

Before he could finish his words, he fell to the ground with his head tilted back with a bang, twitched twice, and was completely silent.

Su Cheng walked over leisurely and pierced his brow bone with the tip of his sword.

As all the spiritual energy was drawn away, the spiritual energy reserves in the system panel continued to increase.

[Total Absorption of Pure Spiritual Energy: 19 Years]

These two disciples of the Qixuan Sect have good cultivation, so it is no wonder that they are so rampant and fearless.

Su Cheng drew his sword and looked around again: "Who else?"

"."

This time, there was no movement at all, even the waves of spiritual energy were completely covered up.

Su Cheng glanced at the three sect spirit guides wrapped around his wrist, which meant that having too many debts would not be a burden.

"Young Master, it's time to go." Shi Xuan's voice echoed softly in his mind. "The cultivators here have been frightened by you. I don't think they'll dare to act rashly for the next two days."

Su Cheng nodded in response and walked along the long street which was in a dead silence.

"Miss Shi, do you think I'm too cruel?"

"Of course not."

Shi Xuan murmured, "Listening to that man's long and eloquent speech just now, I almost wanted to kill him. Thank you for helping me vent my anger."

Su Cheng raised the corner of his mouth slightly: "It's great that you think so."

He secretly rubbed his fingertips, recalling the feeling of killing someone just now, and a sense of emotion emerged in his heart.

Unconsciously, I became more and more accustomed to this feeling.
His mind suddenly changed, Su Cheng suddenly raised his hand to grab an iron order thrown from the side, and glanced at it out of the corner of his eye.

On an ancient building, a woman in armor seemed to be standing with her fists clasped together, and a voice reached the ears:
"Young Master, you acted out of righteousness and killed the evil cultivator. Your heroic spirit and bravery are truly admirable."

"My master admires your abilities very much and has bestowed upon you this order. If you encounter trouble in the future, you may seek refuge at Shaying Tower with this order."

Su Cheng seemed to be thinking about something, nodded to the other party, put away the token and turned to leave.

The armored woman upstairs frowned slightly and turned to look inside the house.

"Master, that man didn't say anything."

"It doesn't matter."

The subtle fragrance of orchid and musk wafted from behind the curtains. A charming figure lazily leaned against the table, chin in hand, saying, "This person disdains to associate with evil cultivators and even publicly antagonizes the Seven Profound Sect. This proves that this person has a good heart and a proud character. Naturally, we don't need to expect more."

The woman's voice was soft and gentle, yet contained a hint of solemnity. "Besides, his reaction shows how thoughtful he is."

The armored female general pondered for a moment, then suddenly realized. "Is he worried that we might be targeted by others?"

The woman behind the curtain smiled softly: "That's right."

"Where on earth did this knight come from?" The armored female general recalled the opponent's amazing sword move just now, and her scalp still tingled.

If it were her, she would probably be unable to withstand it and die on the spot.

"We'll know when we meet again." The woman behind the curtain sighed again, "But for now, it's best for us to focus on our 'treasure'. Once the elders from the various sects arrive, the situation here will become even more confusing."

Su Cheng quickened his pace slightly, crossed the busy streets, and saw the town gate in the distance.

He casually weighed the iron token in his hand, a touch of curiosity building in his mind. "Miss Shi, do you know about 'Sha Ying Lou'?"

"I seem to have heard of it."

Shi Xuan thought carefully. "It seems to be a major and powerful force in Dongchen, with branches in more than a dozen counties. They are not like ordinary sects that occupy mountains and establish their own sects, but rather engage in business."

"Doing business with monks?"

"That should be the case." Shi Xuan said with a slight embarrassment, "However, I have never met him in person, so I don't know the specific details."

Su Cheng smiled and said, "It's okay. I'm just as confused as you are."

He put the iron order into his arms and said, "But this Shaying Tower shouldn't be filled with evildoers and evil cultivators. You can take a look later."

While the two of them were secretly communicating, they had already left the town gate unhindered.

After being out of sight of others, Su Cheng immediately summoned his flying sword and flew towards the path up the mountain according to the direction pointed out by the old shopkeeper before leaving.

Although the mountain road is steep, it is not difficult for a flying sword.

Su Cheng roughly identified the direction and quickly swooped down towards the snow forest in the mountains, hugging Shi Xuan and turning over to the ground.

As soon as I stepped onto the frozen soil of the ice field, a cold mist blew around me, the cedars rustled and shook off silver flakes, and a biting coldness spread throughout my body.

"Sure enough, the cold wind that lingers on this mountain is caused by spiritual energy."

Su Cheng glanced at the prompt box that popped up from the system.

['Cang Xing Ying Yue Pulse' detected. Distance: 306.7m]

['Full Moon Chill' detected, should I absorb it?]

"Absorb." The cold air around Su Cheng suddenly shook, and instantly turned into a vortex, bringing a trace of warmth to his body.

Shi Xuan looked at his robes billowing and couldn't help but mutter, "There are more and more mysteries surrounding you. This isn't even some kind of martial arts technique."

Su Cheng chuckled: "Just think of it as some kind of ancient inheritance."

"Hey"

Shi Xuan sighed: "If I continue to follow you, I will become accustomed to this kind of thing."

Su Cheng continued to move forward and clear the way, searching for the specific location of the spiritual vein.

The wind and snow ahead gradually intensified, but suddenly a sense of danger emerged, causing him to stop abruptly.

"Who is it? Come out now."
