Capítulo 44: The Miao Family

Chapter 44- The Miao Family

Standing outside the High Heaven Pavilion, Su Mu looked in a certain direction.

'If I were to travel by carriage, it will take around three to four months for me to reach the southernmost edge of the Great Han Dynasty that borders the Endless Sea.'

It will certainly be too late if he were to do that.

"Let's make it in three days." Su Mu concluded, stretching his body a bit.

He fixed the sword that was hanging on his waist, knowing that it might fall off when he was on his way.

But then again, he could just buy another steel sword at Sea City.

Activating the first of the Seven Divine Steps, Su Mu started running towards the direction of the Sea City.

'This feels nice.'

Feeling the wind blow past him, Su Mu smiled as his speed kept increasing as he ran.

---

"Unlike what I had previously expected, it only took me three days to arrive at the Sea City."

The path was surprisingly straightforward, and he never encountered a single Monster Beast or Cultivator that would've been able to slow him down.

'I see. So Yang Kai is on an Island owned by the Red Cloud Sect. And from the looks of it, he is just staying there while exploring the island and has yet to obtain the Soul-Warming Lotus.'

After sensing the Seal he had placed on Yang Kai, Su Mu nodded. If Yang Kai were to stay at the Red Cloud Sect's Island for a few more days, Su Mu decided to go and look at the island for himself.

Since that was the case, he decided to look around the Sea City in the meantime before finding an inn to stay at.

'Hm. The cultivators around this area aren't all that strong, and the best within the city at the 1st Stage of Immortal Ascension Realm. But Shuang'er did say that the Sects within the Endless Sea inhabit various Islands, and their contact with the Sea City is limited at best.' Su Mu evaluated Sea City.

It was easy to say that he could do whatever he wanted within the Sea City without worry.

The city was bigger compared to Black Plum Village, but there was a distinct fishy smell in the air. But it was not foul; and it felt like a smell that inspired spirit, especially in a coastal city. And with such a beautiful seashore in sight, hand-in-hand with the natural clean air, this place was a haven for spending his free time.

'I will bring them here next time.' Su Mu mentally noted.

For the next few hours, Su Mu saw the prosperity of Sea City when he strolled along its shores, watching the ebbing tides endearingly.

'It's already night. I should find an inn to stay at.' Su Mu thought, walking across the now empty streets of Sea City.

"Kugh!"

"Blegh!"

"S-Someone help!"

With his inhumane hearing, Su Mu heard the sound of a 'battle' happening not too far away from him.

Even though he couldn't see it, the sound of continuous punches and kicks being thrown at a single individual was very clear in his ears.

'From the sound of it, several Martial Artists are ganging up on a single girl, most likely trying to beat her to death.

'It wouldn't have mattered if I never heard her cries, but leaving her just like that would leave a bad taste in my mouth.' After a few seconds, Su Mu sighed.

Soon, Su Mu disappeared from his spot.

---

"They have been beating that bitch for about an hour, how the hell is she not dead?"

"Like I would know, didn't they say she was just a maidservant? They should've quietly accepted the offer to marry their Young Lady to our Young Master as her concubine, and everything would've been simple from that point on."

Outside a luxurious door, two guards stood around, chatting with each other while holding weapons in their hands, pretending to be on guard.

"But isn't it better for us?" The first guard grinned. "Family Head said that since the Young Lord will be getting married to the First Disciple of the Red Cloud Sect, he wouldn't need a concubine, so he is willing to give his servants the Young Lady of the Jiang Family."

"What about Madame Jiang, thought?"

"He said that she will belong to him, and that he will educate her personally as she is his dead friend's wife."

"But even at that age, Madame Jiang is still a beauty, I wasn't able to believe my eyes when I heard that she had a 20-year-old daughter."

"But it's a bit of a shame that the maidservant of the Jiang Family is getting beaten to death."

The guard shook his head, expressing his pity.

"She asked for it, didn't she? Who asked her to disrespect the Family Head and his son?"

The two continued to chat, discussing their Master's greatness before they heard the sound of clapping from afar.

"Who's there?"

"What business do you have with the Miao Family?"

They watched as a young man walked towards them in a relaxed manner with a sword hanging at his waist.

"May I ask what business does the Young Master have?" The first guard, after seeing the young man's behaviour assumes that he was a disciple from one of the big sects, so he bowed respectfully, just in case to not offend him.

"Do you know, there are two things in this world that I despise the most. Can you guess what that is?" The young man asked, seeming harmless to the two guards, but they had no idea what he was talking about.

Seeing that the two guards were unable to answer his question, the young man shook his head with a disappointed expression, placing his right hand on the hilt of his sword.

Thud!*

Thud!*

Two heads fell on the ground, and before they could even say something, the two guards had died just like that.

"The first thing I despise is prostitution, and the second is backstabbing a friend. Unsurprisingly, your master has managed to do both in a single day."

There was a reason why Su Mu never tried anything funny with the Phoenix Empress, and it was unrelated to her strength. Why did the Dragon Emperor allow her to be in contact with Su Mu, going as far as spending years alone with him, regardless of his nature as a renowned Dual Cultivator who was famous for seducing women throughout the 3000 Worlds?

The reason was simple, the Dragon Emperor trusted him as a friend, and Su Mu never once betrayed that trust, not even having the slightest thought about doing something that would harm their friendship.

And as someone who valued his friendship as a person and honour as a Dual Cultivator, the Miao Family has managed to get on his bad side, so he will eradicate them.

It was as simple as that.

'The strongest person here is only at the 9th Stage of Separation and Reunion Realm, huh?' Su Mu thought.

He placed his sword back inside the sheath, and walked inside the Miao Family's mansion as he disappeared, following the cries of the young girl to find his way.

---

After about a minute, Su Mu arrived at the scene of several men beating a helpless young girl who looked like she didn't even have the strength to look up.

"No matter which world I am in, the weak will always be exploited by the strong." Su Mu sighed, shaking his head a bit.

That was just the kind of world they lived in.

It wasn't farfetched to say that being weak was the biggest sin in this world.

Thanks to the ruckus, no one noticed Su Mu as he walked towards the group of men, killing all of them with a single wave of his hand as they flew away, their corpses crashing into the wall next to them.

Su Mu looked at the little girl shivering on the floor with several bruises all over her body, blood dripping from her mouth as she tried to look up.

"All of them are dead, so you can get up now." Su Mu said, looking at the girl. "Even though you look heavily injured, none of your vital organs are injured, and it shouldn't be difficult for you to sit and talk."

For him, it wasn't difficult to tell that the girl had cleverly protected her vital organs while she was being beaten, as only her limbs and back were severely damaged, but if he was even an hour late, she would've died regardless.

Groaning in pain, the girl got to her knees and lowered her head towards Su Mu, placing it on the ground right in front of his feet, and she begged as tears fell down her eyes. "Young Lord, p-please save my Young Lady and Madame. Cui'er will do anything Young Lord asks, so please..."

'Hmm. Worried about her Young Lady and Madame in this situation.' Seeing this, Su Mu shook his head and waved his hand.

Cui'er, who was kowtowing in front of him suddenly felt an otherworldly force wrap around her body, making her sit on the ground.

"I don't enjoy having women kowtow towards me, especially not if they haven't done anything against me, so if you have something to say, say it to my face." Su Mu said.

"I- Thank you for saving my life, Young Lord." Cui'er said, looking up at Su Mu's face with teary eyes.

Su Mu looked into her eyes and noticed that even after all that beating, the girl has not given up, as there was still some light in her eyes.

But Su Mu neither felt sad nor angry after seeing what happened to this girl. As someone who had lived for so long, there were only so many things that could incite such emotions in him.

After a few seconds, he gave her some recovery pills. "Eat them, they will help you recover."

"Thank you, Young Lord." Cui'er replied, taking the pills before placing them into her mouth.

"I can't sense anything similar happening within the Miao Family's mansion, so as long as your Young Lady and Madame are still alive, they shouldn't be in any immediate danger. Now, tell me what happened here." Su Mu said, making Cui'er nod as she started explaining everything that had led to the current situation.
