Chapter 88: Night Raid, a Mysterious Third Party Force!

Fang Xu, when you get to the Ascension Immortal Society, you need to be careful of Su Cheng. Huang Qingzhou picked up his own sword, rehung it at his waist, and said lightly.

Su Cheng?

Fang Xu frowned slightly; this Su Cheng indeed warrants attention.

He entered our master's sect twenty years before me, was once the master's most favored disciple, and reached the peak of third-grade pill master at the age of thirty.

As everyone knows, cultivators cannot do without elixirs; Su Cheng, relying on his status as a pill master, enjoys considerable prestige among the disciples of the Ascension Immortal Society.

Although Huang Qingzhou said that, his face showed a hint of disdain: "It's just that this guy has a bad disposition; stuck at fourth-grade pill master for years, he doesn't think about improving himself, always looking for crooked ways."

Forging iron requires strength oneself; for someone like Su Cheng, Huang Qingzhou is obviously contemptuous.

"Senior Brother Huang, can the blood of the Divine Fragrant Sacred Body really increase the success rate of pill refinement?" Fang Xu frowned and asked.

Chu Mu is a Divine Fragrant Sacred Body; if such a body is truly that important to pill masters, I'll have to pay more attention in the future, lest other pill masters discover it and capture Chu Mu to use as a blood slave.

Huang Qingzhou nodded: "Such a constitution is not only a genius for pill refinement, but its own blood also greatly aids the process."

"But as I know, refining fifth-grade elixirs requires the essence blood of the Divine Fragrant Sacred Body to take effect." Looking at Fang Xu, Huang Qingzhou said lightly: "You don't need me to tell you the importance of essence blood; losing even a small amount takes a long time to recover."

"If too much is lost, it will directly cause the sacred body to collapse, turning one into a cripple."

Fang Xu's face darkened.

Looking at it this way, Su Cheng basically doesn't treat Chu Mu as a person!

"Alright, many matters; when you reach the Ascension Immortal Society, there will be instructors to teach you." Huang Qingzhou said, then walked toward the inner court of the Hall of Far-reaching.

Late at night, Fang Xu sat cross-legged on the bed, performing his daily cultivation.

Outside the Hall of Far-reaching, several sneaky figures had already reached the courtyard wall.

"That Huang Qingzhou is also a disciple of the Ascension Immortal Society; if we hurt him, will we suffer retaliation from the Ascension Immortal Society?"

Among the black-clothed figures, a short-built man spoke with worry.

"It's fine; Su Cheng said he would count Huang Qingzhou's death against the ruins of Carry-Blue Mountain, as long as we help him obtain that little girl, we won't need to worry about elixirs for our cultivation in the coming years."

Upon hearing his words, several others' eyes flashed with fervor!

During the day, Su Cheng found them, acted very generously, knowing their identities; although they had some reservations, they couldn't resist the generous offer.

When we move later, if we can hold back Huang Qingzhou without hurting him, that's best; if we can't hold him, then don't hold back!

Our target is merely that little girl in a wheelchair!

The leading masked man instructed the five behind him:

The five nodded and readied to attack, but unexpectedly, another group of sneaky figures appeared not far away!

"Wait!"

The leading masked person, seeing the other group, quickly signaled everyone to be careful and hide.

"Su Cheng even found other people?!" The short-built masked man frowned.

"That shouldn't be..." The leading masked man looked at the group that had already reached the other side of the Hall of Far-reaching, puzzled.

For such matters, the fewer who know, the better; Su Cheng is no fool, it's impossible that after finding our few people he'd still go look for others.

"Let's see first!" the leading masked man said in a low voice.

The six of them quietly lurked nearby, preparing to see what the other group was up to.

The other side of the Hall of Far-reaching.

A group of nine, dressed peculiarly, wore large blood-red cloaks covering their entire bodies; each emitted an aura that made people feel uneasy.

"Are you sure this is the place?" a low, hoarse voice asked.

"Elder brother, rest assured; I personally confirmed it that day in Qinghe County!" a slender figure behind him quickly said.

"Good; capture that brat, and I'll speak well of you to the Master." After the hoarse voice spoke, it slowly raised a hand: "Move out, try to take them alive; the Master needs some living specimens."

The several behind him nodded and immediately leapt forward, jumping into the Hall of Far-reaching.

"They've gone in!" On the other side, the short-built masked man saw those people leap into the Hall of Far-reaching and immediately grew anxious!

"Damn Su Cheng, he's gone mad!" The leading masked man, seeing this, cursed angrily.

Come on, let's go in too!

Damn, they dare to steal our business, and they even teamed up with them!

Whoosh!

The group of six also leapt forward and jumped into the Hall of Far-reaching.

In the inner court side room, Huang Qingzhou, who was meditating cross-legged, suddenly opened his eyes, rose, went to the window, and through the crack saw a crowd of figures outside; his expression immediately changed.

Having dealt with Su Cheng for so many years, he knew Su Cheng wouldn't let go of this rare opportunity to turn things around, so he decided to stay in the Hall of Far-reaching, aiming to make Su Cheng hesitate, lest he act rashly.

But he never imagined that his own senior brother had already gone mad to this extent!

Bang!

Huang Qingzhou suddenly flung open the door and shouted at the two groups that had sneaked in:

"Who goes there?!"

That shout directly startled Lu Qingluo and Fang Xu, who were cultivating; they each walked out of their rooms and came behind Huang Qingzhou.

Looking at the two groups that had appeared in the courtyard, Fang Xu frowned slightly.

"Senior Brother Huang, these two groups don't seem to be allied."

Huang Qingzhou nodded; the two groups in the courtyard: one wore ordinary night-clothes, the other's attire was somewhat strange—blood-red long robes, weird evil masks, looking like members of some organization.

In the field, three sides faced off; Fang Xu, Huang Qingzhou, and a third person stood at the room's doorway; to their left front were six black-clothed masked martial artists, to their right front nine individuals in blood robes wearing weird masks.

The leader of the nine blood-robed martial artists glanced at Fang Xu, then at the nearby black-clothed martial artist, and immediately waved his hand, charging at Fang Xu!

The other six black-clothed martial artists, seeing the opponent move, also rushed forward!

However, their target was Chu Mu's room!

Seeing that their targets didn't clash, both sides breathed a sigh of relief and, in tacit understanding, avoided any conflict.

Fang Xu, these guys in red robes are coming for you! Huang Qingzhou frowned, then looked at the martial artists rushing toward Chu Mu's room and said: "Those people were probably summoned by Su Cheng; they're stronger, I'll go deal with them!"

Before his words even fell, the sword in his hand was already drawn, and he directly charged at the six black-clothed men to kill them!

On Fang Xu's side, the strange wooden stick stored in the inner gate meridian point had already been taken out.

He, holding the wooden stick, stood shoulder to shoulder with Lu Qingluo, watching the nine blood-robed figures charging up; after exchanging a glance, the two rushed forward!

The battle was about to erupt!

On the side of the six black-clothed men, Su Cheng knew Huang Qingzhou's strength, so the six he summoned were at least Martial Master Seventh Stage, at most Martial Master Ninth Stage!

Huang Qingzhou, who was not skilled in combat to begin with, found it hard to withstand being overwhelmed while fighting six opponents alone.

But the six men were somewhat wary of his identity, so for a moment they didn't deal a killing blow, and Huang Qingzhou could barely hold on.

Compared to that black-robed person, the nine blood-robed martial artists were slightly weaker; the leader among them was the strongest, at Martial Master Fifth Stage, while several others had two at Martial Master Third Stage, and the rest were around Martial Apprentice Peak.

But even with such strength, it put tremendous pressure on Lu Qingluo and Fang Xu when they arrived!
