Dao of The Demonic Cultivator

Moments later, Yan Peng lay in the enforcement team's dwelling.

Situ Cui, utilizing her privileges, had assigned him to a room saturated with dense Spiritual Qi.

The two enforcement team members departed together.

Shortly thereafter, a voice resonated beside the bed.

"You are quite astute to have recognized my presence."

Yan Peng opened his eyes and immediately saw a nondescript black-robed cultivator standing by the bed—the very senior demonic cultivator!

He quickly got out of bed, knelt on one knee, and spoke softly, "Yan Peng, at your service, Master! The Master had the Five Organs Gu bite me lightly, so I knew it was you."

He paused, then continued with flattery, "As for my cleverness, it is merely trivial compared to your profound wisdom!"

Chu Xuan waved his hand dismissively, "Tell me, what have you found out?"

Yan Peng relayed the intelligence he had pried from Situ Cui and the additional information the other three from Golden Lake Gang had gathered through different channels.

Chu Xuan's expression turned peculiar, "That Situ Cui, she must be around seventy years old?"

Yan Peng blushed slightly, "Actually... I have a taste for such."

Chu Xuan nodded, showing respect and blessings.

He casually tossed a large blood pearl over, "Well done. After the task is completed, wait for me in the small grove where we first met. I will grant you more."

Yan Peng, holding the larger, purer, and more polished blood pearl, was filled with awe.

So large!

So pure!

Is this the great demon?

Indeed, he had chosen the right person to follow!

Thinking of the sumptuous life ahead, and reaching the pinnacle of his existence, Yan Peng's whole body trembled uncontrollably!

When he regained his senses, the senior demonic cultivator had already vanished without a trace.

...

Elsewhere.

Chu Xuan was already heading south aboard the Green Shadow Shuttle.

From Yan Peng, he had gathered extensive intelligence on the Situ family.

The Situ family indeed possessed a superior body cultivation technique!

The realm of body cultivation differed from that of Qi cultivation.

There were no distinctions like Qi Refining, Foundation Establishment, or Golden Core.

Instead, it was Body Cultivation First Layer, Second Layer, Third Layer... endless!

If one must make a comparison, the first ten layers of Body Cultivation were akin to the Qi Refining stage, and the eleventh to twentieth layers comparable to the Foundation Establishment stage.

Subsequent realms followed this pattern.

The levels of body cultivation techniques were classified into four categories: low, medium, high, and top.

The Situ family's superior body cultivation technique, known as the "Giant Elephant Refining Technique," was said to be a fragment of an ancient method.

But that was merely hearsay, without factual evidence.

Nowadays, with the decline of body cultivation and the prominence of Qi cultivation, the "Giant Elephant Refining Technique" was seldom practiced and gradually forgotten.

As for the Condensation Core techniques, the Situ family did possess one, but it was only a mid-grade technique.

Of course, a mid-grade Condensation Core technique delivered to one's doorstep should not be refused.

Chu Xuan always treated every selflessly devoted individual equitably.

...

Plain City.

Disciples from the Extreme Yin Cave migrated and established this city among mortals, which has now become one of the largest cities within thousands of miles.

A rather ordinary young man walked along the main street of Plain City.

Before long, he arrived at a luxurious and imposing mansion.

The plaque above the mansion's entrance was emblazoned with one gilded word: Situ!

"So this is the Situ family. Quite magnificent," the young man marveled.

He was Chu Xuan.

According to the intelligence obtained by Yan Peng, the Situ family's main headquarters were located here in Plain City.

Initially, Chu Xuan was somewhat skeptical.

He had thought this place was merely a branch.

However, after walking around Plain City and hearing discussions about the Situ family, he learned that the Situ family had indeed relocated their entire clan to Wu Province Plain City in the Yue Kingdom.

It turned out that the Situ family had been marginalized by other Foundation Establishment families in Yue Kingdom.

Upon learning that the Heaven Burning Sect had effortlessly conquered Wu Province from Yu Province and half of Jin Province, the Situ family made a ruthless decision to relocate their entire clan.

There were few large cities in Wu Province, and most of the current cities were established by the Heavenly Seal Sect after their conquest of Wu Province.

Among these cities, Plain City stood out in terms of both size and population.

Therefore, the Situ family selected this place as their headquarters.

In other words, the accumulated heritage of a Foundation Establishment family spanning hundreds of years was now concentrated here.

At the main entrance of the Situ family, there was not only a large gate but also two smaller side gates.

However, before Chu Xuan could step forward to enter through the main gate, the side gate immediately swung open.

A stretcher covered with white cloth was hurriedly carried out and rushed towards the city outskirts.

Chu Xuan clicked his tongue in wonder.

He had already heard about this incident from the people in the city.

It was said that the third Miss Situ of the Situ family was beautiful and voluptuous but arrogant and tyrannical.

She particularly enjoyed forcefully taking handsome young men as her concubines.

However, once she discovered that their physical attributes did not match her expectations after a few uses, she would immediately castrate them.

If the castration caused the young man to scream in agony, she would personally kill him.

As a result, every few days, corpses could be seen being carried out of the Situ family and dumped into a mass grave outside the city.

At first, Chu Xuan didn't quite believe it.

After all, hearing was not the same as seeing.

But now, he believed it.

Chu Xuan strode swiftly towards the main gate of the Situ family.

The two servants frowned, stepped forward, and attempted to stop Chu Xuan.

Frowning, Chu Xuan pointed at the two of them, "You two dared to step forth with your left foot first, violating my taboo—prepare to die!"

With that, the Yin Evil Ghost Claw suddenly struck out, crushing the heads of the two servants.

Bang!

The Yin Evil Demon Claw smashed down ferociously, instantly sending the main gate flying and embedding it forcefully into the screen wall.

This sudden, enormous commotion caused all the servants and maids within the Situ family's courtyard to stare in shock.

"What's going on? You've disturbed me at a crucial moment!" exclaimed a bewitching young girl, clad in scant attire. She stormed out, her long, muscular legs propelling her forward, a blood-dripping sword in her hand.

Without a doubt, this was Miss Situ, the third daughter of the family.

Chu Xuan pointed at Miss Situ, his brow furrowed, "Why did you step out with your right foot first? You too have violated my taboo—you must die!"

Bang!

The Yin Evil Demon Claw struck again.

Miss Situ's beautiful head was crushed in an instant.

Her headless body thudded to the ground.

The servants and maids turned pale.

This was the family head's most doted upon daughter!

Dead, just like that?!

"Ahh!" screamed a maid, sprinting away.

The other servants and maids also snapped out of their shock and turned to flee.

Chu Xuan shook his head, "Loud screaming violates my taboo—you must die!"

He deployed the Blood Beehive.

A swarm of warrior bees burst forth.

Wherever they passed, limbs and bodies were torn asunder.

Boom!

A flying sword blasted through the screen wall, hurtling straight toward Chu Xuan.

Unfazed, Chu Xuan let his Mystical Iron Shield materialize, easily blocking the strike.

"Who are you! Without any grievance, why do you slay my daughter unprovoked?" shouted a refined and handsome middle-aged man, his anger blazing as he pointed at Chu Xuan.

Chu Xuan deeply frowned, "Pointing at my nose also violates my taboo—you must die!"

The Yin Evil Demon Claw struck again.

In an instant, it crushed the head of the Situ family patriarch as well.
