Azure Frost Elixir Workshop.
A few female cultivators gathered around Su Xiaoning with excited expressions. Their eyes burned with the flames of gossip as they chattered non-stop.
"Xiaoning, is that person really your brother? Why haven't I heard you mention him before? "
"What's his name? How old is he? Which sect is he from? Does he have a Dao companion?"
"Why didn't he join Azure Frost Sect with you?"
"Xiaoning, look at how close you guys are. Are you his Dao companion?"
Su Xiaoning frowned slightly and pursed her lips in silence, her eyes filled with worry.
Seeing that Su Xiaoning was in low spirits, someone consoled her, "Xiaoning, don't be too anxious. It's only been two hours. It's still early."
"I'd advise you to give up!"
Right then, a female cultivator walked out from the back hall with a murderous look on her face – it was the senior sister of many female cultivators, Yang Yu.
Yang Yu sneered, "He killed four people consecutively in the capital and you're still hoping that he can make it out alive? Dream on! "
Su Xiaoning took a deep breath and said firmly, "My brother promised me that he would definitely come and fetch me!"
"How naive."
Yang Yu did not hide the mockery in her eyes. "Of the four people killed, two were disciples of True Fire Elixir Workshop and the other two were Scarlet Vulture guards. Do you think that True Fire Sect and the Scarlet Vulture guards are pushovers?"
"Who do you think your brother is to be able to fight against those two factions?"
With every sentence that Yang Yu said, Su Xiaoning's face turned paler.
She knew in her heart that the chances of Su Zimo making it out of the capital alive were extremely low. However, she was willing to believe in Su Zimo.
Yang Yu changed the topic. "However, you can't be too full of yourself. In the capital, there are people who have the strength to fight against True Fire Sect and the Scarlet Vulture guards. For example … "
Yang Yu purposely kept Su Xiaoning in suspense and waited for her to look expectant before saying slowly, "For example, your brother is from the royal family, fufu!"
Before she finished, Yang Yu laughed out loud with a mocking look in her eyes.
She was completely teasing Su Xiaoning. If Su Zimo was a member of the royal family, how could the commander of the Scarlet Vulture guards not recognize him?
Yang Yu continued, "Of course, other than the royal family, there's another person in the capital who has enough power to go against True Fire Sect and the Scarlet Vulture guards. That is … "
Su Xiaoning knew that Yang Yu was teasing her, but she still had a glimmer of hope. She looked at Yang Yu, waiting for an answer.
"That is … the number one weapon refinement master of the Great Zhou Dynasty, Mr Mo!" Yang Yu said.
Su Xiaoning's eyes dimmed.
Yang Yu chuckled and said, "Let me think. Junior Sister Su, could your brother be Mr. Mo? Eh, that's not right. Your surname is Su, and Mr. Mo's surname is Mo. There seems to be a bit of a difference … En, and I heard that Mr. Mo is a Daoist Master Jin Dan. Your brother seems to be in the late stage of the Foundation Establishment realm, hehe. "
Su Xiaoning said, "Senior Sister Yang, you don't have to be sarcastic and sarcastic. I believe in my brother. He'll definitely return alive!"
"Ha!"
Yang Yu sneered. "If your brother can return alive, I, Yang Yu …"
After Yang Yu said that, she glanced over and caught sight of a figure walking over. He was dressed in green robes and had delicate features, walking into the hall slowly.
All the cultivators in the hall were stunned on the spot, dumbfounded and shocked.
"H-How is that possible? Y-You … "
Yang Yu's mind was in a mess when she looked at the person who had arrived.
This person, who was already dead in her heart, was standing right in front of her, alive and kicking!
Su Zimo glared at Yang Yu coldly. "Continue. What are you going to do if I return alive, huh?"
Yang Yu felt flustered when Su Zimo glared at her with a sharp gaze. Instinctively, she turned her head away, not daring to meet his gaze as her heart palpitated for no reason.
"Brother!"
Su Xiaoning exclaimed with a face filled with joy. Like a swallow returning to its nest, she dove into Su Zimo's embrace and sobbed softly.
A gentle look appeared in Su Zimo's eyes as he patted Xiaoning's back gently.
Su Zimo supported Xiaoning to the side and walked towards Yang Yu slowly. His expression was cold and his gaze was sharp as a knife, exuding a chilling killing intent.
"W-What are you trying to do? This is Azure Frost Elixir Workshop! You're not allowed to act brazenly here! "
Yang Yu was a little flustered as she hollered fiercely. However, she was retreating instinctively.
"I even dare to kill in the capital! Do you think that I won't dare to kill in Azure Frost Elixir Workshop? "
Su Zimo continued approaching with a cold gaze.
Yang Yu swallowed a mouthful of saliva as her heart grew increasingly flustered and terrified.
Although she was at perfected Foundation Establishment and was a level higher than Su Zimo, she was completely intimidated by Su Zimo's aura at that moment!
Who wouldn't be afraid of someone who dared to go on a killing spree in the capital and even walked out of the palace unscathed?
Even Perfected Being Jin Dan of Azure Frost Sect was wary, let alone Yang Yu.
Without knowing Su Zimo's identity, no one dared to touch him!
Someone who could survive the combined suppression of True Fire Sect and the Scarlet Vulture guards must have an extremely high status – who would dare to touch him?
Before long, Yang Yu was already leaning against the wall with nowhere to retreat.
"Do you know why the four of them died?"
Su Zimo came before Yang Yu and asked with a narrowed gaze.
Yang Yu's face was pale as she shook her head.
Su Zimo said slowly, "That's because they bullied Xiaoning. Furthermore, you bullied her as well. "
"I didn't … didn't."
Yang Yu's explanation was so weak.
Su Zimo changed the topic. "However, don't worry, I won't kill you."
When she heard that, Yang Yu heaved a long sigh of relief as though she had been pardoned. Unknowingly, her back was already drenched in sweat.
A playful look flashed through Su Zimo's eyes as he smiled. "The reason why I won't kill you is because someone else will."
Yang Yu's heart that had just calmed down started pounding once more.
Right then, Su Xiaoning ran over and pulled Su Zimo away. She looked at Yang Yu and said, "Senior Sister Yang, does the deal we agreed on previously still count? I'll sell this Elixir Furnace to you and you'll give me 5,000 superior-grade spirit stones or a superior-grade spirit weapon. "
With that, Su Xiaoning took out an Elixir Furnace from her storage bag.
This Elixir Furnace was the reason why He Xing of True Fire Sect coveted it and caused a series of conflicts.
After being soaked in Xiaoning's blood, the Elixir Furnace was already extraordinary.
Furthermore, Su Zimo could tell that Xiaoning was extremely fond of this Elixir Furnace. Why was she selling it now?
"Xiaoning, why are you selling this furnace?" Su Zimo asked in confusion.
Su Xiaoning said seriously, "Brother, I noticed that you've been empty-handed the entire time. I'm sure you don't have a suitable spirit weapon. If I sell this furnace, I'll have the money to customize a superior-grade spirit weapon for you. "
Su Zimo's heart warmed as he rubbed Xiaoning's head lovingly and smiled. "Hurry and put away the furnace."
Su Zimo said in a serious manner, "Xiaoning, let me tell you. The reason why I'm empty-handed is not because I don't have any spirit weapons. It's because I have too many …"
"Hmph, bragging again!"
"Let's go. I'll bring you to my place to take a look."
Su Zimo ignored Yang Yu and left True Fire Elixir Workshop with Xiaoning.
