Chapter 94: The Imperial City as a Furnace, The Imperial Preceptor Appears
“Uncle Xu, Aunt Xu, Qingxue, follow me. I’ll bring you to a safer place!”

Su Mu called out and then brought Xu Cong Wu’s family to the Eldest Princess’s residence.

Along the way, they encountered several demons, but they were all easily killed by Su Mu.

His astonishing combat power left Xu Congwu dumbstruck.

What was wrong with his nephew? Why did he suddenly become a mess after being imprisoned once?

Could it be that he comprehended the Dao in prison?

If it really had such an effect, wouldn’t all the prisons in Beijing be filled to the brim?

..

Under Su Mu’s escort, the group of four arrived in front of the inner city.

Yanjing was divided into the inner city and the outer city.

Most of the people living in the outer city were commoners.

The inner city was filled with dignitaries!

Without some status and background, it was impossible to establish a foothold in the inner city.

Su Mu relied on Li Lingyan’s token to enter the inner city.

As soon as he entered, Su Mu noticed that something was wrong.

There were clearly fewer demons in the inner city, and their average strength was a level lower.

Most of them are small monsters, only first-class, second-class, and second-class.

One had to know that the people living in the outer city were all ordinary people with low strength.

And among the high-ranking officials and nobles in the inner circle, which family did not have a few powerful guards?

These little demons were unable to cause any waves in the inner city and were quickly cleared out.

There were probably not many casualties in the entire inner city.

The difference in treatment was too obvious, causing Su Mu to frown.

He increasingly felt that the riot of demons and devils tonight was planned by someone!

Otherwise, this situation would not have happened.

But who had the guts and strength to play such a game in the Imperial City?

This matter was huge!

Su Mu’s heart sank.

However, the most important thing now was to send Xu Congwu’s family to the Eldest Princess’s residence.

He didn’t think too much about it and continued to move.

..

The inner city was much safer.

Thus, Su Mu didn’t spend much time before he arrived at the Eldest Princess ‘residence.

After showing the token Li Lingyan had given him, he was politely invited in.

A housekeeper helped Su Mu settle down Xu Congwu’s family.

Then, he followed Su Mu’s instructions and brought him to see Li Lingyan.

When he saw Li Lingyan, she was standing in the back garden of the mansion. Several martial arts experts and Qi Refinement experts were guarding her.

Su Mu swept a glance over them and roughly understood their strength.

Four martial arts grandmasters.

There was one perfected Zongshi realm and three intermediate Zongshi realm experts.

Three Qi Practitioners.

He was just a step away from the great circle of Qi Refinement, about the same as Daoist Priest Clearcloud whom he had met that night.

Just the strength of these guards was enough to show that Li Lingyan was powerful!

But why was she captured by the Third Prince that time?

This was illogical.

..

Su Mu let his imagination run wild as he walked towards Li Lingyan.

When he got closer, he saw Li Lingyan staring at the blood moon in the night sky with a serious expression.

“You seem to have become stronger again.”

Sensing Su Mu’s call, Li Lingyan turned around and gave him a rare smile.

This smile made the experts around her look at her in surprise.

Who was this young man?

How could he make Princess Chang smile at this moment?

Was it just because he was handsome?

“What is going on tonight? Where did all these demons come from? Could it be that someone is behind this?”

Su Mu couldn’t be bothered to care about what the others thought and directly asked the biggest question in his heart.

Hearing this, Li Lingyan stopped smiling and said with a dark expression,”

“If a young man who doesn’t know anything about this can see through the problem, can’t all the officials in the court see through it and guess it?”

“I don’t dare to say it, I don’t dare to say it!”

As she spoke, Li Lingyan’s face was filled with anger.

Also, powerlessness…

Hearing these words, Su Mu’s heart skipped a beat and he asked:

“Do you know who the mastermind behind this is?”

“I know, I know. Otherwise, why do you think the Devil Division suddenly recruited a large number of new people?”

“Actually, I already guessed that something would happen tonight.”

“I just didn’t expect it to be this crazy!”

Li Lingyan’s reply made Su Mu’s hair stand on end.

Who exactly was it that actually had such great power to dare to act recklessly in the Imperial City?!

At this moment, a middle-aged nun beside Li Lingyan explained.

“The Blood Moon is a rare sight that only appears once in a hundred years!”

” Under the Blood Moon, the demons will go berserk. They will be more violent and bloodthirsty than usual.”

“However, even if it’s the Blood Moon Shining Sky, demons shouldn’t be this violent.”

“Someone added something else to the palace.”

As she spoke, the nun waved her hand and a green light appeared.

Under the illumination of the green light, one could see that the air was filled with translucent dark blue particles, like dust under the sun.

“What are these things?”

Su Mu frowned and asked.

In this kind of environment, if he completely transformed into a demon, even if he didn’t lose control, he would be more violent than usual.

Su Mu hated this feeling of being out of control.

“A type of Pill Dust can amplify the effect of the Blood Moon. Without the blood moon, it would be useless.”

“This thing was clearly refined in preparation for today!”

Hearing this, Su Mu let out a sigh of relief. Under normal circumstances, it would be fine as long as it didn’t affect him.

After some thought, he asked,”

“Who is behind all this?”

Li Lingyan shook her head and said,

“Can’t say.”

“That person’s cultivation is too terrifying. As long as any title related to him is mentioned, it will arouse his senses.”
