My wife is a practitioner, I am invincible when I lie down

Black Rock City.

This is a city between the Zhao family and the Su family. It is not under the jurisdiction of any force and was originally formed by a group of hunters.

This was once an area where monsters were active. The hunters living here gradually wiped out the monsters through generations of encirclement and killing, and gradually established a fairly prosperous city-state.

With Black Rock City as the center, there are more than a dozen small towns and hundreds of villages scattered around it, with a total population of over ten million people living here for generations.

At noon.

A pair of handsome men and beautiful women appeared in Black Rock City.

Apart from the passing caravans, there are very few outsiders coming here alone, and the appearance of the two immediately attracted a lot of attention.

But the aura of a powerful Holy Spirit Realm being emanating from the girl dispelled the covetousness of many people.

Among the imperial clan, the Holy Spirit Realm might not be considered a master.

But in a remote area like Black Rock City, warriors in the Holy Spirit Realm are definitely considered strong and no one dares to provoke them.

"Are you sure the Strangler is in this Black Rock City?" Su Ziling asked curiously. She had also learned some tracking techniques, but she had no idea how Zhao Mu tracked his target.

"Talk less and watch more. I didn't ask you to follow me so you can tell me what to do. You just need to watch me do it."

Zhao Mu said coldly, his eyes searching around the city for something.

"Oh!"

Su Ziling closed her mouth feeling a little aggrieved.

After all, she is the prodigy of the Su family, ranked 19th on the Southern Territory Prodigy List. If an outsider dares to speak to her like that, she will definitely not tolerate it.

But in front of Zhao Mu, the little pride in her heart had long been thwarted.

"found it."

Zhao Mu's eyes fell on an inn.

The aura of the person who attacked Zhao Ming was in this inn.

Su Ziling's heart moved and she was about to speak, but when she thought of what Zhao Mu had just said, she shut her mouth honestly.

The next second, Su Ziling saw Zhao Mu soaring into the sky, slashing out a black sword light and killing into the inn.

Before she could react, she heard a loud roar coming from the inn.

Immediately afterwards, Zhao Mu was seen flying out with a half-dead man in black in one hand.

The people on the street didn't even have time to watch the excitement before Zhao Mu had already flown out of the city with his people.

Su Ziling covered her mouth with her hands, her face full of shock and surprise. After she came to her senses, she hurriedly caught up.

The efficiency of this action is too exaggerated.

Outside the city, in an abandoned temple.

Cai Jing was thrown to the ground with great force, the floor tiles cracked, and his bones seemed to be falling apart. He couldn't help but spurt out a mouthful of blood.

He was in a state of complete bewilderment.

Because it happened so suddenly, his mind went blank and he didn't even understand what was going on.

Until the cold blade of the Heaven-Covering Sword was placed on his neck, and he heard the young man opposite him say coldly: "Cai Jing, forty-six years old, with the cultivation level at the peak of the Holy Spirit Realm, was originally the eldest disciple of the Xuanyi Sect, but later defected from the sect and joined the Tiansha Sect, becoming a genius strangler... Am I right?"

With a light slash of the Zhatian Sword in Zhao Mu's hand, Cai Jing's neck was cut open. Blood flowed everywhere. If it had gone a little deeper, it would have cut his carotid artery.

When Cai Jing heard what Zhao Mu said, he felt as if he had fallen into an ice cave. He felt cold all over and dared not move.

"Who...are you? At least let me die knowingly."

"You attacked a member of my Zhao family and still dared to ask who I am?"

Zhao Mu snorted coldly, and with a flash of sword light, he cut off Cai Jing's left arm.

Because the speed was so fast, Cai Jing didn't even have time to feel the pain before he saw his entire arm flying out.

The sharp sword energy even instantly sealed his blood vessels, preventing him from dying immediately from blood loss.

Cold sweat instantly soaked Cai Jing's entire body. He trembled and said, "You...you are Zhao Mu, the young patriarch of the Zhao family, and number 12 on the new Tianjiao list!"

"It's too late to react now."

Another sword beam slashed out, cutting off Cai Jing's right arm.

Only then did Su Ziling catch up, panting.

As soon as he entered the door, he saw such a bloody scene and his face turned pale.

Although she had experienced many battles, they were all exchanges and discussions among peers, and she had never encountered a real life-and-death battle.

Zhao Mu's cruel methods brought an extremely strong shock to her young mind.

She stood blankly at the door, unable to utter a word. She felt her stomach churning and she almost vomited.

"What are you standing there for? Search this guy's storage ring to see if Zhao Ming's hand bones are in it."

Zhao Mu glared at Su Ziling.

"Ah... oh."

Su Ziling's delicate body shuddered. She dared not refuse Zhao Mu's order. She quickly stepped forward, suppressing the urge to feel nauseous, took off the ring from Cai Jing's broken arm, and began to search inside.

A moment later, Su Ziling took out a large vat filled with dark green thick liquid, in which was immersed a pair of complete hand bones.

Su Ziling's expression lit up with joy: "This is a liquid medicine that maintains vitality. The bones are still fresh. If they are transplanted back in time, there may be a chance of recovery."

"Put it away and keep it safe." Zhao Mu ordered.

Then he looked at Cai Jing again and said, "You will either confess honestly and tell me everything, and then be killed by a single blow of my sword, or you will refuse to surrender and be cut into pieces and tortured to death. You can choose between these two ways of dying."

Cai Jing's face turned pale, and he looked at Zhao Mu as if he had seen a devil.

It's not like he hasn't encountered ruthless enemies before, but it's rare to find someone like Zhao Mu.

It was a dead end anyway, but Cai Jing suddenly felt relieved.

"I'll tell you everything. I just want you to give me a quick death."

Cai Jing was afraid that Zhao Mu would go back on his word, so he quickly told him everything he knew.

Including why he wanted to assassinate the Zhao family's genius, why he wanted to dig out Zhao Ming's bones, and what was the use of keeping the bones.

There was no need for Zhao Mu to question them one by one. He told everyone everything on his own and did not dare to hide anything.

After hearing this, Zhao Mu didn't waste any words and stabbed Cai Jing in the middle of his eyebrows with his sword.

Looking at the oncoming sword light, Cai Jing's expression was not panic, but complete relief.

With a "puff" sound, the Zhatian Sword pierced Cai Jing's forehead and sent him to death.

"Did you hear it clearly? Did you write it down?" Zhao Mu walked over and knocked on Su Ziling's forehead.

Su Ziling subconsciously covered her forehead.

Su Ziling breathed a sigh of relief when she realized that she was no longer Zhao Mu's enemy.

She secretly swore in her heart that no matter what happened in the future, she would never become an enemy of Zhao Mu.

"Remember this. The Heavenly Killing Sect wants to refine the Supreme Bone, and they need to collect the bone spirits of the Southern Territory's geniuses. The bones Cai Jing seized contain Zhao Ming's true spirit. He must send the bones to [Mysterious Crystal Cave Heaven] within a month. There, an elder from the Heavenly Killing Sect will guide them and take the bones away."

"Do you know where the Mysterious Crystal Cave Heaven is?"

Su Ziling nodded. "This is one of the ten great caves in the Southern Territory. It's very famous, and it's not under the jurisdiction of any imperial clan. Warriors from all over the world are qualified to enter and explore, seeking opportunities. It's currently one of the most sought-after caves in the Southern Territory. It's said that over ten thousand warriors come in and out every day, and some have even obtained imperial-level divine weapons there."

"Once Cai Jing dies, the elders of Tianshamen will definitely get the news. It will probably be difficult to follow the clues to find out the cause. Let's not worry about Xuanjing Dongtian for now. Let's go back and see if we can reconnect Zhao Ming's bones."

After Zhao Mu finished speaking, he summoned a divine thunder from the Nine Heavens, which blew the entire dilapidated temple into pieces with a bang, and then he and Su Ziling returned to the Zhao family.
