"You, you..."
A few people trembled all over, truly the scene of Zhou Ying’s Divine Soul being shattered was too shocking, causing everyone at that moment to regard Su Mu as a Confucian Cultivator, birthing a new glimmer of hope.
However, now Su Mu throws a punch to kill a Wang Family elder, crushing the last straw of hope in their hearts.
Su Mu is not a disciple of the Confucian Sect, naturally, he has no taboos and doesn’t need to worry about any Confucian ban.
"Second brother, third brother, let’s go at him together!"
Wang Qi was extremely enraged, and the three of them simultaneously ignited their Qi Blood and surrounded Su Mu, who just coldly looked at them and calmly raised his fist again.
"Too weak, none can compare to Wang Xuantian..."
Su Mu could sense that one of the three had already completed a Secondary Blood Exchange, but this person could not pressure Su Mu like Wang Xuantian did in the past.
At this moment, Su Mu was unaware that it wasn’t that the Wang Family was too weak, but rather that Wang Xuantian was too strong. Back then, Zhou Qing and Shangguan Ke, both from large clans in Commandery City, could pass the Golden Order assessment, proving them to be strong among the younger generation.
Yet, even their combined effort could hardly resist Wang Xuantian, and Zhou Qing eventually died; it wasn’t that these people were too weak, but Wang Xuantian, who mastered Fist Momentum and cultivated Demon Technique, was simply too strong.
"Puff puff puff---!"
Su Mu raised his fist and punched three times consecutively, with three explosive sounds echoing throughout the scene, with no one able to withstand a single punch from Su Mu. The hundreds of elite children of the Wang Family, along with the last Sixth-Grade experts, were annihilated.
"No, no, don’t kill me!"
"Spare me, spare my life!"
A few surviving Wang Family children on the scene screamed, some cried and begged for mercy, others fled towards the outer courtyard, but Su Mu did not make another move.
The Wang Family still has a presence, and many are still alive, but it has lost almost all its high-level combat power and is effectively dead in name.
The Wang Family has rampaged through Qifeng Town for years, its children arbitrarily oppressing the populace. As soon as tonight’s news spreads, everyone will know that the Wang Family will be utterly torn apart by the furious citizens of Qifeng Town and other forces.
However, Su Mu does not care about any of this, nor does it concern him.
After killing a few folks, Su Mu quickly began searching the bodies on the scene. Having not gone hands-on for a while, he was a bit unfamiliar tonight but regained his skill after rummaging through one corpse.
Only two people on the scene possessed Sumeru Rings, one was the Wang Family’s Tributor Zhou, whom Su Mu didn’t know the name of, and another was someone Su Mu guessed to be the Wang Family’s Patriarch, though Su Mu didn’t know this person’s name.
"This place... is not suitable for staying long."
After searching the corpses of Zhou Ying and several Wang Family Sixth-Grade Martial Artists, Su Mu headed toward the inner courtyard’s Alchemy Room. At this moment, black and white light flickered on Su Mu’s chest, and a surge of black light swirled in his right eye, with violent, murderous, and other negative thoughts overwhelming his mind.
Tonight’s slaughter ultimately had some impact on Su Mu himself, and while condensing the ’Heart’ character, Su Mu also sensed that his previous killings actually posed a threat, albeit unnoticed before.
These ominous energies have been lurking in Su Mu’s body, should they ever erupt, they will inevitably be a hidden danger, but now Su Mu has a method to address this.
Leaving the place where blood flowed like a river and before stepping into the small courtyard, Su Mu sensed no one inside the Alchemy Room. He pushed open the door and found Baili Ye indeed gone, having already left the Wang Family.
And in the central location of where the Three Flood Dragon Alchemy Furnace originally sat, there appeared a scroll of a Pill Book, which Su Mu picked up. The words ’Ten Elixir Herbs Manual’ came into view.
"Gather a hundred herbs to refine true form, the beginning of Alchemy Dao stems from the essence of plants and trees; the wonder of furnace fire lies only in mastery connecting mind and spirit... my natural talent is dull, alchemy for over fifty years, gathering herbs and seeking formulas, this booklet contains the Nine Pill Techniques, may later generations surpass the past and complete it..."
Su Mu scanned the first page and his eyes brightened, Baili Ye left him a volume of the Pill Book.
"Truly, it was nowhere to be found despite breaking the iron shoes, and yet it came effortlessly!"
Su Mu was overjoyed; with this Pill Book, he only needed to improve his Alchemy Skill to attempt crafting the Profound Pattern Pill. Once the ingredients are gathered, he can begin cultivating the Immortal Body, then formally challenge the Little Vajra Secret Realm.
At this moment, Su Mu did not take a closer look, he briefly read the opening and solemnly stored it in the Sumeru Ring, then he bowed to the original spot of the alchemy furnace’s presence.
"Thank you, Elder Baili, for gifting the Pill Book."
Leaving the Alchemy Courtyard, Su Mu found someone to inquire about the location of the Wang Family’s treasury. After smashing open the treasury door, he found a bounty of rare items that were hard to come by in the Land of Cyan Clouds.
"Tao Xingzheng was right, the Land of Cyan Clouds is truly a tiny place."
In the treasury, there were many herbs that Su Mu had never seen in the Land of Cyan Clouds, and although quality-wise, they couldn’t compare to Tao Xingzheng’s secret room with hundreds-year-old herbs, the sheer quantity made up for it, and most were also century-old.
Besides elixirs, the Wang Family’s treasury held many other items, several jars of Demon Beast Blood, boxes of yellow and white goods, three weapon racks of Grade-Entering Blade Soldiers, and a bookshelf full of ancient texts and calligraphy, among others.
Su Mu was rather satisfied, immediately sweeping the treasury clean, the Wang Family’s decades of accumulation suddenly entered Su Mu’s pocket, making a bridal gown for Su Mu alone.
...
The only two individuals with a Sumeru Ring were the Wang Family’s Tributor Zhou, whom Su Mu didn’t know the name of, and another was someone Su Mu guessed to be the Wang Family’s Patriarch, though Su Mu didn’t know this person’s name.

Su Mu impulsively cleaned out the treasury, and the Wang Family’s century-old family foundation quickly fell into Su Mu’s hands, making a bridal gown for someone else.
