Chapter 185 - Four Years On
After Demoness Ji’s words, Su Zimo had a new understanding and impression towards her and fiend sects.
Just like immortals and Buddha, fiends had a Dao of their own.
After pondering for a while, Su Zimo suddenly thought of something and asked, “A few months ago, I met a cultivator in a spirit mine with ruthless methods. He massacred an entire city of living beings and uses a vile cultivation technique that can suck a living person into a dry corpse. Is he someone from the fiend sects?”
“From what I know, there’s no such cultivation technique in the fiend sects,” Demoness Ji shook her head.
She paused for a moment and continued, “The reason why the reputation of fiend sects is bad in the cultivation world is all because of you people from the orthodox path. As long as it’s something that goes against humanity, you guys accuse us of the fiend sects for it. It’s truly despicable!”
“If it’s not done by the fiend sects, you guys can come forth and explain yourselves,” Su Zimo frowned.
“Fufu.”
Demoness Ji scoffed coldly, “There’s no way the fiend sects will do that. Demons have their pride.”
The Shen family had changed drastically. Even though the Zhao and Li families were eradicated and removed from Ping Yang Town, Shen Nan had benefited greatly from following the two families in the past. As such, he had long expanded into a luxurious mansion.
Because of Su Xiaoning’s kidnapping incident back then, Su Zimo went on a killing spree and killed many people, except Shen Nan.
Even so, Shen Nan did not dare to continue being brazen.
After all, Su Hong’s conferment as king happened in Ping Yang Town. Although no one knew what was going on behind the scenes, everyone witnessed the outcome.
“Mengqi?”
When Shen Nan caught sight of Shen Mengqi, he was rooted on the spot with a look of disbelief.
“Brother, it’s me,” Shen Mengqi smiled and nodded.
“It’s good that you’re back, it’s good.”
Facing more than ten Foundation Establishment Cultivators from Iridescent Clouds Palace, Shen Nan’s heart was trembling with fear. He looked uneasy as he remarked with a smile.
From Shen Mengqi, Shen Nan could feel an unfamiliar aura.
It was as though their relationship through blood had faded after she entered the path of immortality.
“The family has changed quite drastically.”
Shen Mengqi walked around the Shen residence casually with a smile. Shen Nan followed behind her, not daring to walk in front.
After walking around, Shen Mengqi asked in a seemingly casual manner, “Shen Nan, are the four major families of Ping Yang Town still around? Such as the Su family?”
“Ah?”
Shen Nan froze for a moment and shook his head with a strange expression on his face. “N-Not anymore.”
“The Su family is not around anymore?”
Shen Mengqi stopped in her tracks and suddenly turned around, frowning.
“Yeah, they’re all gone.”
Shen Nan nodded and related everything that happened four years ago.
Shen Mengqi listened intently.
“That Su Zimo must have taken on an expert in the pugilistic world as his master. His strength grew by leaps and bounds and he destroyed the Zhao and Li families almost singlehandedly!”
Shen Nan glanced at Shen Mengqi. “However, he did not kill me. I think it’s on account of your relationship.”
Shen Mengqi did not reply.
She knew very well why Su Zimo did not kill Shen Nan. Even though it had something to do with her, it was definitely not because of their relationship!
“Junior sister, who is that Su Zimo? Where is he now?”
At the side, Xu You could vaguely tell that Su Zimo seemed to have a close relationship with Shen Mengqi in the past. Because of that, he was long frustrated and asked with a scowl.
