375: The mastermind behind the destruction of Mingyue Palace

Chu Jiang returned to the cabin.

He took out the black mirror.

A message was displayed on it.

Cui Judge: "We have found clues about the force that destroyed the Bright Moon Palace!"

Chu Jiang's expression showed a hint of joy: "Which force?"

He had only tried with a 'let's see' attitude, never expecting that the Yan Luo Temple would actually find something. As expected of the Great Chu's top assassin organization.

Cui Judge: "It's an evil School called the Blood Refining Sect. Three years ago, they wreaked havoc in several western states. They come and go without a trace, Cultivating using the Qi and blood of martial artists. The Bright Moon Palace was just one of several Schools they destroyed in the west!"

"Here is the detailed intelligence, and the exact location of the Blood Refining Sect!"

"This intelligence took a lot of effort to get for you, one hundred thousand contribution points!"

Chu Jiang swiped a few times on the black mirror: "The usual, I'll owe it for now. I'll pay you back after I complete the mission!"

He didn't have one hundred thousand contribution points yet.

"Alright!"

Cui Judge didn't refuse. Chu Jiang now held the dual titles of Marquis Wuan and Marquis Who Pacifies Demons, was also the Pacification Envoy of the Three Prefectures, and the Lord Shao Si of the Demon Suppression Division. His future prospects were boundless.

Cui Judge: "I'll give you another free message: Wu Ling King is extremely formidable. If there's no need, don't confront him directly. You've cleared the demons and quelled the banditry in the Three Prefectures, so you can report back to the Chu Emperor."

Chu Jiang frowned slightly and edited a message on the black mirror again: "Where does Wu Ling King rank on the Heaven-Grade list?"

Cui Judge: "Conservatively estimated, top twenty. He has lived for two thousand years and hasn't made a move for one thousand years. No one knows his true combat power!"

Although the combat power among Heaven-Grade experts varies greatly, it is extremely difficult to kill them. Each person has powerful trump cards.

Chu Jiang exchanged a few simple pleasantries, then put away the black mirror and fell into thought.

With his current combat power, he should also be in the top twenty of the Heaven-Grade list. The Brahma True King Skill had already been Cultivated to Perfection.

But if he wanted to suppress a major BOSS like Wu Ling King, he would need at least two more Huatian Level martial arts Cultivated to Perfection or above.

Wu Ling King was the Chu Emperor's imperial uncle, and the Cultivation Technique he Cultivated must also be top-tier. Even if it wasn't as good as the Chu Emperor's, it wouldn't be far off.

This old fellow, being able to live for so long, probably had some trump cards.

"Xuan'er, we need to go to Yu Prefecture!"

Chu Jiang said indifferently, looking at Fu Yunxuan beside him.

"My Lord, Yu Prefecture is close to the Central Five States. Are we not going to the Border Three Prefectures anymore?"

Fu Yunxuan was confused. Although Yu Prefecture was also one of the Eastern Ten States, it wasn't their target.

"The force that destroyed the Bright Moon Palace and killed your parents has been found. It's in Yu Prefecture, the Blood Refining Sect!"

Chu Jiang said in a deep voice.

Since the enemies who killed Fu Yunxuan's parents had been found, there was no reason to wait. Now that the exact location had been found, it was best to act quickly to avoid further complications.

"My Lord... is it true?"

Fu Yunxuan's delicate body trembled. Two familiar faces appeared in her mind. Her mother, who taught her various skills, was still vivid, as if whispering in her ear.

Then, she saw mysterious figures chasing them.

Her parents desperately covered her escape.

"Xuan'er, run!"

"Father will hold them off, you two go first... Damned scoundrels, to destroy my Bright Moon Palace, this Zong will fight you to the death..."

...

Various screams were incessant.

Instantly, she broke out in a cold sweat.

She had been searching for the murderers of her parents, but there had been no news. These people were too mysterious.

They never showed their true faces.

The previous Pacification Envoy, Ye Lingkong, had also helped investigate, spending several months, but couldn't find the true culprits.

After calming down, Fu Yunxuan said: "My Lord, my matter is a private one. I cannot let personal matters interfere with public duty, lest others seize upon it to attack you. Let's still go to the Border Three Prefectures first!"

The situation in the Three Prefectures was complex. If Chu Jiang didn't go to the Three Prefectures first, but instead sought revenge for her, it would definitely bring trouble to her Lord.

Chu Jiang gently stroked Fu Yunxuan's hair and said warmly: "Xuan'er, what nonsense are you saying? What public or private? Your matter is the most important matter. Your father-in-law and mother-in-law died, how can I tolerate that?"

Chu Jiang was not a Saint. Only by satisfying his own desires first could he plan for the world. His own problems weren't even solved.

Family, country, and world, what concern are they to me?

Moreover, being a Saint meant having too high moral standards, and he would be kidnapped by public opinion, by righteousness, by the common people.

It was better to be a Devil King, a God of Slaughter with a touch of evil. Only by acting as he pleased could he be free from moral constraints.

"As for trouble, your Lord fears trouble the least. A bunch of rebels, still wanting to turn the tables? Then send them on their way. This Lord is not afraid!"

"This matter is settled!"

Chu Jiang's eyes were indifferent. With absolute power, he didn't fear so-called public opinion. He would suppress them all.

"My Lord..."

Fu Yunxuan's pretty face flushed when she heard Chu Jiang mention father-in-law and mother-in-law. Feeling Chu Jiang's domineering words, a warmth rose in her heart.

Chu Jiang teased: "I wonder if father-in-law and mother-in-law will be satisfied with me as their son-in-law!"

When he became invincible in the world, with no more rivals, he would naturally marry her. This was his first woman.

Wielding power over the world while awake, embracing a beauty in his drunken slumber.

This was his pursuit, but it required the strength to be invincible in the world.

No... it was invincible in Heaven and Earth.

Otherwise, being invincible in the world one second, and then an enemy from Heaven appearing the next, would be a real mess.

"My mother will definitely be satisfied, but my father... My Lord, guess!"

Fu Yunxuan chuckled.

"Xuan'er, you've become naughty too!"

"Your Lord dislikes guessing the most!"

Chu Jiang wrapped his arm around her slender waist and pulled her into his embrace.

"Mmm, mmm!"

Her small mouth was instantly blocked.

"My Lord, you're so bad!"

Fu Yunxuan's face was flushed with embarrassment, and there was a hint of worry in her eyes as she looked at Chu Jiang:

"My Lord, can't you bear it a little longer!"

Chu Jiang smiled faintly: "I don't have a temper, but seeing my Xuan'er so alluring, I can't wait to become one with her immediately."

"My Lord, I'll help you relax!"

Fu Yunxuan said, then rested Chu Jiang's head on her body.

Chu Jiang opened his eyes.

Aside from a faint blush on her face, Fu Yunxuan didn't seem to mind. After all, they had already been intimately close at zero distance several times.

They had done things more embarrassing and more shameful than this. As long as they were in private, she would let her Lord do as he pleased.

This was truly 'embracing a beauty in his drunken slumber.'

...

Time passed, sun rose and moon set, days went by unnoticed.

Four flying boats traveled through the clouds, crossing more than a dozen large states.

Heading straight for Yu Prefecture.

Principal General Zhao didn't know what Chu Jiang was up to, but where he went was none of his business. As long as he wasn't colluding with demons, he could do whatever he wanted.
