Chapter 35: Chapter 35: Remnant of the Demon Sect! Tian Mu Saint Son

Su Bai’s expression shifted slightly as he read the secret order he had just received.

He then dismissed the young servant who had delivered the order.

’A remnant of the Demon Sect, the Tian Mu Saint Son?’

’A cultivation at the Extraordinary Seventh Layer?’

Su Bai was slightly surprised by the information on the secret order.

This so-called Demon Sect was a power within the Great Xia Dynasty known as the Celestial Demon Sect. Although their overall strength hadn’t reached the level of the three great Demon Sects, they were still considered a major demonic faction, second only to the big three.

Not long ago, Martial Artists from the Prison Suppression Bureau, led by Chen Tianfeng, joined forces with the Demon-slaying Bureau in a powerful assault, eradicating this major demonic faction.

But that Saint Child of the Demon Sect was quite resourceful. Despite being severely injured, he had used some unknown Secret Technique to escape and go into hiding.

It was only recently that the Prison Suppression Bureau had uncovered some clues.

Hence, this mission was issued.

Of course, with the cultivation Su Bai had currently revealed, he was naturally no match for this Saint Child of the Demon Sect.

Therefore, in this mission to capture the Demon Sect’s Saint Child, Su Bai was only meant to be a newcomer gaining experience.

It was a chance for him to see the world.

The real main force was Mu Feng, who led the other Martial Artists of the Prison Suppression Bureau.

A moment later, inside the palace where Su Bai resided, Mu Feng arrived with three other Martial Artists from the Prison Suppression Bureau, their expressions solemn.

"Su Bai, you should be aware of the secret order from above."

"If you have no objections, come with us."

After a brief exchange of pleasantries, Su Bai followed Mu Feng and left the prison.

Along the way, the other Prison Guards and Prison Chiefs who saw the Martial Artists from the Prison Suppression Bureau all cast looks of reverence and respect.

When a team from the Prison Suppression Bureau went out, they understood it meant another capture mission was underway.

And anyone who required Martial Artists from the Prison Suppression Bureau to personally make an arrest was bound to be a terrifying Demon.

Along the way, Su Bai saw many Prison Chiefs from the B-Class Prisons, and even one or two officials of Great Xia, bow slightly and show expressions of reverence upon seeing the Martial Artists from the Prison Suppression Bureau—especially their leader, Commander Mu Feng.

’The might of the Prison Suppression Bureau is even greater than I imagined!’

Witnessing this scene, Su Bai’s understanding of the Prison Suppression Bureau deepened.

After Su Bai followed Mu Feng and the others out of the prison, he saw an old eunuch in black robes waiting for them.

Behind him stood several large, red horses. They were extraordinarily spirited, and white mist plumed from their nostrils with every breath.

Their four black hooves were strong and powerful.

Upon seeing them, the old eunuch’s expression brightened slightly, and he walked over to them.

His lips were pale, and a faint smile touched his face, which was lined with deep wrinkles, making him look old and weathered.

"Lord Mu!"

"Eunuch Chen!"

Mu Feng exchanged a few pleasantries with the man, and both of them wore warm smiles.

’This Eunuch Chen’s cultivation is very strong!’

Su Bai’s expression remained calm, but inwardly, he was stirred.

Su Bai’s current cultivation was at the Extraordinary Realm First Layer, but he could clearly sense that the cultivation of this Eunuch Chen before him was far beyond his own.

This man was very likely a Grandmaster of the Innate Realm!

"Lord Mu, the horses have been prepared for you."

"Thank you for your trouble, Eunuch Chen."

After the pleasantries, Mu Feng led Su Bai and the others, mounted on fine Red Blood Dragon Horses, and galloped toward their destination.

...

The Red Blood Dragon Horse was a superior breed of horse from within the Great Xia Dynasty, cultivated using special methods.

They were incredibly fast and had immense stamina.

Covering ten thousand li in a single day was nothing for them.

Just one hour later, the group arrived at the location mentioned in the intelligence report.

It was a large, desolate mountain.

Before they entered the desolate mountain, Mu Feng came up to Su Bai and spoke to him.

"Su Bai, when we move to capture the Demon Sect’s Saint Child, stay back a bit. And be especially careful not to meet his gaze."

Su Bai looked puzzled.

Mu Feng then explained the reason to Su Bai.

It turned out that this Saint Child of the Demon Sect possessed a very special bloodline and had awakened a unique Divine Technique.

The Celestial Eye Divine Techniques!

When he uses this Divine Technique, a slit opens on his glabella, revealing a Celestial Eye.

Enemies struck by the Celestial Eye will suffer damage to their Divine Spirit at best, or have it completely disintegrated at worst.

Moreover, some Martial Artists with lower cultivation could even be turned into puppets with a single glance from the Tian Mu Saint Son.

That was why he had told Su Bai to avoid the Tian Mu Saint Son’s eyes.

"I understand, Lord Mu."

Su Bai nodded.

’Celestial Eye Divine Techniques?’

’This Divine Technique is quite interesting.’

SWOOSH!

After giving his instructions, Mu Feng led the group, their figures blurring as they entered the desolate mountain.

At the summit of the desolate mountain sat a dilapidated temple.

Inside the temple, a white-haired young man sat cross-legged on the ground, coughing up blood incessantly.

A bloodstained slit was split open on his forehead.

His body was emanating an extremely dense Demonic Qi.

This person was none other than the Saint Heir of the Celestial Demon Sect, the Tian Mu Saint Son.

"Damn you, Prison Suppression Bureau! Once I, the Saint Heir, have finished recuperating, I will tear out your bones, suck your marrow, and refine you into Human Skin Puppets!"

the Tian Mu Saint Son said coldly as he coughed up blood and tried to heal his wounds.

In front of him was a blue Jade Bottle that gave off a thick, metallic scent of blood.

He picked up the Jade Bottle and frowned.

"Damn it! The blood of a hundred people still isn’t quite enough!"

But even so, he still circulated his Demon Skill and began to refine the bottle of crimson blood.

BOOM!

Just then, the tightly sealed main doors of the temple were blasted to smithereens!

For a moment, wood splinters flew everywhere.

Amid the light, Mu Feng led his men, darting into the temple.

"Tian Mu Saint Son, surrender without a fight!"

Mu Feng drew the saber from his waist and stared coldly at the Tian Mu Saint Son.

WHOOSH!

Suddenly, a fierce gale whipped through the temple.

The Tian Mu Saint Son slowly rose, his body kicking up a black wind, chilling and sinister.

"Prison Suppression Bureau!"

The Tian Mu Saint Son’s voice was hoarse as he looked at the figures before him.

Then, he activated his Demon Skill. His body swelled to nearly twice its size, and he let out a piercing shriek toward the heavens.

"It’s not yet decided who will come out on top today!"

RUMBLE!

"Sea-Returning Saber Technique!"

Mu Feng didn’t dare to be careless. True Qi surged within his body.

He slashed out, unleashing a brilliant, azure blade projection.

In an instant, the two unleashed their full power!

They clashed violently!

Meanwhile, Su Bai had already retreated many steps, distancing himself from their combat zone.

He watched their fierce battle, his gaze focused.

’Mu Feng’s cultivation is a bit stronger than the Tian Mu Saint Son’s, but in terms of overall combat strength, they’re evenly matched.’

The Tian Mu Saint Son was indeed a genius. Not only were his methods impressive, but his combat skills were also astonishing.

For a time, their battle reached a stalemate.

SWISH!

At a certain moment, the other three Martial Artists from the Prison Suppression Bureau also drew their weapons and joined the fight!

Just a moment later, the tide of battle turned completely one-sided.

The Tian Mu Saint Son was forced back again and again, suffering heavy injuries.

Blood trickled from the corners of his mouth, and his eyes began to split open!

And yet, the man suddenly burst into strange laughter.

A bloodthirsty chill appeared in his expression.

In the blink of an eye, the space between his eyebrows flared with brilliant light!

A Celestial Eye bloomed to its fullest extent!

"Not good! This brat is tricking us!"

Mu Feng was the first to react, his figure retreating explosively.

He threw his head back and roared!
