Chapter 225: Invading the Imperial Residence and Subduing the Demons
 

Now the world was in chaos and demons were everywhere.

Yanzhou under the rule of King Mountain-guarding was relatively stable. At least, there were no large-scale rebels.

After entering Cloud City, Su Mu headed straight for the Imperial Residence.

The Mountain-suppressing King’s Mansion was majestic and imposing. It was like a giant beast crawling on the ground with an astonishing aura!

After sneaking in, Su Mu actually got lost.

The Imperial Residence was too big, and its internal structure was complicated.

To those who were not familiar with it, it was like a maze.

Su Mu didn’t care about anything else and followed the aura of the demon.

Mighty Ghosts were extremely sensitive to the aura of demons and ghosts, no matter how they tried to hide, Su Mu would be able to catch them!

As he approached the King of Mountain-guarding Palace, Su Mu could smell a mix of demonic auras.

He didn’t intend to care about it at first. He wanted to find Wen Jing’s whereabouts first.

But now, it seemed that he had to change his target.

..

In the night, Su Mu’s figure was like a ghost, completely merging with the darkness, and not a single breath leaked out.

The guards of the King of Mountain-guarding Manor were cold and dense with arrays.

Moreover, the Mountain Suppressing Lord was suspected to be a Red Dragon Centipede, and there was also an expert like Wen Jing guarding the place.

Once exposed, Su Mu would be in big trouble!

After all, he had yet to fully recover and was still injured.

Su Mu carefully moved forward, and after an hour, he arrived at a deserted courtyard.

The other places in the Imperial Residence were guarded, but this place was empty.

This was one of the sources of demonic and ghostly Qi.

Yes, it is.

The Mountain-suppressing King’s palace had many fiendish demons, and they were scattered all over the place.

..

“Be careful. Leave quickly after sending the things to the door. Don’t stay!”

“Why can’t I stay? Also, what are we transporting? It’s my first day. Can you tell me about it, brother?”

“Don’t ask what you shouldn’t ask. Be careful not to lose your life! Do you know how the person in front of you disappeared? It’s because I’m too curious!”

“This… Alright, I won’t ask anymore.”

Just as Su Mu was about to go in and investigate, two men pushed a cart over.

There were several sealed boxes on the two carts.

The others could not smell it, but they could smell the stench of blood from it.

“It seems that these two people are responsible for feeding the demons.”

Su Mu instantly understood and thought of an idea.

He moved and flew towards the two people pushing the cart.

※※※※※※

“Creak ~~~”

The gate of the courtyard slowly opened, and a handsome young man pushed a cart into the yard.

After walking to the center of the courtyard, he opened a few boxes on the cart. A strong smell of blood immediately came out!

These boxes were filled with bloody and terrifying items!

It was either a heart or an eyeball. There were also some indescribable white things.

Strangely, the young man was not afraid.

However, he stood quietly at the side, as if he was waiting for something.

This person was none other than Su Mu, who had snuck in.

..

“Hiss ~~~”

Su Mu didn’t wait too long.

A moment later, a strange sound that made one’s teeth ache rang out in the darkness.

He turned his head and saw the shadow squirming. Then, a deformed head that was half a meter long poked out.

This head only had a large mouth and countless eyes.

They were densely packed and covered the entire head. It was very terrifying when they blinked.

The strange head floated in the air, half of its eyes staring at the boxes, saliva dripping from its mouth.

On the other hand, his eyes were fixed on Su Mu, his expression ferocious and terrifying.

..

After the first fiendish demon appeared, more fiendish demons quickly appeared from the surroundings.

There was a Nightmare Ghost wearing a flower robe and a green hat that looked like a rat demon.

There were Drowned Ghosts with swollen limbs and dripping corpse water.

There was a candle ghost dressed in mourning clothes and dancing with its long tongue.

There were also some demons that Su Mu didn’t recognize and couldn’t name.

In a few breaths of time, the originally empty courtyard was filled with demons, surrounding Su Mu.

These demons had one thing in common, and that was that they were all quite powerful.

The weakest one was also at the Connate Realm.

The strongest one was a ghostly one with the strength of a mid-stage grandmaster!

The ghost was short and had eight slender, soft, tentacle-like arms. It held eight different musical instruments.

Although it did not have a head, it could emit a faint singing sound.

It was very strange!

Being surrounded by so many demons, ordinary people would have fainted from fear.

However, Su Mu used a gaze that was used to examine the goods, as if he was evaluating the quality.

..

“Do you know that this is not a place you can come to?”

“Since you’re here, just give us more food, hehe ~”

Most of these demons had low intelligence and were in a chaotic state.

Only the candle ghost had some intelligence.

It looked at Su Mu with a sinister expression, its long tongue swinging back and forth as it spoke, and after it finished speaking, it rolled towards Su Mu.

It had not tasted a living person for a long time!

But in the next moment, the candle ghost’s tongue was firmly held in Su Mu’s hand, and no matter how hard it tried, it couldn’t move at all.

Zhu Gui was shocked and immediately urged his ghostly qi to invade Su Mu’s tongue, wanting to force him to let go.

Who knew that under the corrosion of the ghostly qi, the flesh on Su Mu’s arm directly faded away, turning into blood-colored bones.

Su Mu’s bone claw exerted strength and directly dragged the candle ghost in front of him. His other hand also turned into a blood-red bone claw and pressed down on its head.

“Submit to me!”

Su Mu stared at it, the power ghost’s ability was ready.

As long as the candle ghost didn’t resist, he could instantly take it under his wing.

“No, no, no. Ah!”

Just as the candle ghost said “no”, it was immediately pierced by bone spikes.

Su Mu then exerted force with his claws.

One claw crushed its head, and the other claw pulled out its tongue.

This ghost with decent strength was directly beaten into ashes!

“If you don’t submit, then die.”

Su Mu clapped his hands and coldly looked at the other demons.

..

This was the Mountain Suppressing King’s mansion, and Su Mu had no time to waste with them.

He had to settle everything as quickly as possible, or else there was a possibility of being exposed!

After killing Zhu Gui with a single slap, even though the other demons were not very intelligent, they still felt a strong threat.

This seemingly handsome young man was actually a demon that was even more terrifying than them!

Whoosh–

The demons fled in all directions without a word.

However, in the next moment, a black light ball appeared from Su Mu’s body, instantly expanding and swallowing them all.

It was one of the few magical powers of the powerful ghosts, Ghost Domain!

Although these demons were strong, they were unable to break out of the ghost domain and were all trapped inside.

With nowhere to go, they turned around and charged at Su Mu.

Seeing this, Su Mu revealed a cold smile.

With a thought, a thick blood-red mist gushed out of his body and he completely transformed into a blood-red skeleton.

To deal with these demons, he only needed to activate a single demon template.

“Let me test your quality.”

Su Mu laughed sinisterly. His two bone claws expanded by more than ten times, and at the same time, ferocious bone spikes appeared all over his body.

It became even more ferocious and terrifying than before!

The other demons in the Ghost Domain seemed to pale in comparison to Su Mu.

The outcome of the battle was already clear.

….

Half an hour later, the Ghost Domain was put away.

Only half of the dozen demons and ghosts were left.

All of the remaining demons and devils had submitted to Su Mu!

Su Mu kicked the boxes on the cart and said:

“Eat. After this meal, accompany me to kill your previous master.”

Hearing this, the demons were frightened, but they all fell silent and began to eat.

This was because it was very likely that this would be their last meal!

Their previous master was not ordinary!
