One more catty, one more attribute point

There are three major assassination organizations in Central Plains: Blood Shadow Tower, Red Dust Hell Sect, and Wanliu Manor.

The main character of this incident is Wanliu Manor.

Wanliu Manor is said to be an organization of assassins, but it's more like an ancient family with a special inheritance. It holds a Secret Technique that can restrain the immortality of Earth Immortals.

Even some well-known Dharmic figures are quite wary of this family.

The current master of Wanliu Manor is named Liu Qianshan.

In his early years, he adopted an adopted son named Liu Kaiwen.

Some days ago. Stay tuned with My Virtual Library Empire

The master attempted a forceful breakthrough and failed his seclusion. Consequently, calamity qi entered his body, and he sustained severe injuries. During his healing seclusion, this adopted son suddenly launched a stealth attack. Caught unawares, and already heavily injured, this fearsome power in Central Plains abruptly perished on the spot.

The adopted son, in collusion with outsiders, carried out a purge of Wanliu Manor.

Only one young child of Liu Qianshan's, under the desperate protection of servants, was lucky enough to escape from Central Plains.

And according to information provided by the Ming Daoist.

It's very likely that this person is now hiding within Su Heng's sphere of influence.

The name of the fleeing child is Liu Wenhuan.

Seeing that Su Heng seemed interested in his affairs, Jialan Gunna's avatar, the Ming Daoist, cocked her head and said, "Liu Wenhuan is being hunted down partly to completely eradicate him. On the other hand, it's because he possesses the key to the manor's treasure vault, which contains the many years of accumulated resources and treasures of Wanliu Manor, as well as the core heritage that can slay gods and exterminate Buddhas."

The enormous wealth amassed by the three major assassination organizations is feared to be quite substantial.

Su Heng has always been indifferent to wealth and did not care much for these external possessions. However, being upright and unable to tolerate injustice, he found no reason to ignore such matters happening under his watch.

Su Heng said, "Keep an eye on this matter, and remember to notify me if there are any developments."

The Ming Daoist nodded and said, "Understood."

Su Heng's gaze lingered on her for a moment before he asked, "How are things with your true self now?"

"I'm only a step away from breaking through," replied the Ming Daoist. "When the heavenly tribulation comes, I will need the support of my Daoist friend."

"I've promised to help you, so naturally, I will see it through," Su Heng said, looking out at the huge parasol tree in the courtyard, his voice filled with confidence.

The Ming Daoist nodded, then her colossal figure disappeared into the hazy fog.

...

After speaking with the Ming Daoist,

Su Heng did not disturb Li Hongxiu's cultivation and left the secluded temple.

He returned to the Demon Suppression Tower.

Boom!

Accompanied by the sound of friction, the heavy stone door in front of him slowly opened.

Then, a hot, stench-filled gust hit him in the face, causing the candles on the walls around Su Heng to flicker.

Roar!

There was an explosive roar.

A winged tiger strode out majestically from inside.

A fortuitous crow with dark feathers was lying on the tiger's head, legs crossed, while holding a fishing rod with one claw, with a fresh piece of demon meat hanging from the line, steering the winged tiger by tilting the rod gently, like a steering wheel.

Su Heng: "..."

During his absence, it seemed that Little Golden Crow had quite a good time.

It had grown noticeably fatter, looking rather comical, and it was uncertain whether it could still fly.

"Quack! Quack!"

As if responding to the skepticism in Su Heng's eyes,

Little Golden Crow casually threw aside its fishing rod with considerable effort, then wobbly stood up from the top of the tiger's head.

Then, with a "flap flap" of its wings, just when Su Heng felt a weight on his shoulder, Little Golden Crow landed on him.

From the corner of his eye, he could see

Little Golden Crow now standing proudly with its hands on its hips.

The implication was, "See? I'm impressive, right?"

"Hmm... Yes, quite impressive," he agreed.

Who had turned his Little Golden Crow into a pig, Su Heng wondered, a bit speechless.

But though a bit chubby, the aura around the Golden Crow was much fiercer than before.

Little Golden Crow suffered from malnutrition in its innate development, its mother having been killed by a demon god before its hatching, and later luckily it received Su Heng's help to be reborn. Su Heng had benefited greatly from the elder Golden Crow and was very affectionate towards the young one.

Seeing it so happy, Su Heng had no harsh thoughts.

He took out a few pills refined from the flesh of demon gods from his bosom and fed them to Little Golden Crow. Frowning slightly, he thought for a moment, and with a flash of red light in the room accompanied by a loud roar, Qiong Qi was released by Su Heng.

During the time away from Dragon Abyss, Qiong Qi had been kept inside the flesh-melting furnace.

Now, although the enhanced furnace could house living creatures, the environment was harsh. Even demons would feel very oppressed staying inside.

When Qiong Qi was set free by Su Heng, it suddenly felt an immense sense of freedom and couldn't help but vocalize joyfully.

Upon seeing the silly-looking black tiger in front of it, Qiong Qi puffed up its chest, trying to look imposing. But as soon as it turned its head and saw the Golden Crow on Su Heng's shoulder, Qiong Qi's eyes widened with shock, and then it groveled with an almost human-like fawning expression.

Why the boldness earlier and the subservience now?

Thump!

Little Golden Crow flew down from Su Heng's shoulder, clenched its wings into fists mid-air, and heavily thumped Qiong Qi right on the forehead.
