Chapter 57: “Silk” Merges with the Night, Unseen Murder!

Translator: Daoist6fubtiW

At night, a biting cold enveloped the surroundings.

The streets were already deserted, with only the night watchman wandering through the alleys.

“Bang, bang, bang.”

It was the night watchman striking his drum.

However, when the night watchman passed by the Cui residence, he noticed that the mansion was brightly lit, and there were faint sounds of commotion.

Soon after, several figures hurriedly left the Cui residence.

The night watchman’s heart quivered, and he quickly made way, hiding to the side.

This was the “Ninth Lord” of the Cui family, one of the organ-refining practitioners, a prominent figure in the entire Giant Tablet City. How could the night watchman dare to confront Cui Ninth Lord?

Seeing “Cui Ninth Lord” leaving in haste with a grim expression, it was clear that something significant had happened.

However, the night watchman didn’t dare to speculate about the Cui family’s affairs, so he continued patrolling the streets and reporting the time.

After the night watchman left, two figures emerged from the shadows.

“Cui Ninth Lord has gone to the Red Delight Pavilion.”

“Cui family only sent one organ-refining practitioner to the Red Delight Pavilion. Now Cui family has eleven organ-refining practitioners left.”

Li Hongzhuang spoke in a low voice.

She was well-informed about the Cui family’s situation.

Originally, they thought that for an incident at the Red Delight Pavilion, the Cui family would send at least two organ-refining practitioners.

They didn’t expect only one to be sent.

With one more organ-refining practitioner at the Cui residence, the pressure on “Thirteen” would increase.

“No matter, whether it’s ten or eleven organ-refining practitioners, the difference isn’t significant.”

“Let’s go, meet the experts from the Cui residence.”

Lu Changsheng spoke calmly.

He stepped out of the shadows and, along with Li Hongzhuang, walked directly towards the Cui residence.

Even at this late hour, the Cui residence had guards, including martial practitioners.

Though they were only Blood-Strengthening Realm martial practitioners, the fact that martial practitioners were on duty all night indicated the Cui residence’s formidable influence.

Two guards were discussing the recent departure of Cui Ninth Lord from the mansion.

“Just now, someone from the Red Delight Pavilion reported that there was a major incident there. 1 inquired a bit, and it seems that Elder Luotian was killed.”

“Eider Luotian was killed? This foreign monk has always had a strange and domineering temper, looking down on the servants and even the martial practitioners in the mansion, often scolding them. His death is a good thing.”

“Hush, keep your voice down. We can’t speak so casually. The situation is unclear right now, so be careful with your words. Besides, Elder Luotian had the trust of the family head.”

In truth, the two guards didn’t have a good impression of Elder Luotian either.

Elder Luotian’s irritable temperament was well-known in the Cui residence, and no one was willing to serve him.

Now that he had died, the mansion’s staff secretly celebrated.

As the two were discussing, they also noticed two unfamiliar figures in the night.

“Halt.”

Only when the two unfamiliar figures approached the Cui residence and seemed to be heading towards it did the guards immediately shout to stop them.

“So late, who are you people?”

The two guards looked at the newcomers with a hint of caution in their eyes.

However, Lu Changsheng remained silent.

He merely extended his finger and gently pointed.

“Swish, swish.”

Two silk organ swords instantly flew out.

Concealed by the darkness of night, they silently pierced through the throats of the two guarding martial practitioners.

“Pfft.”

The two men’s eyes widened, and then they slumped to the ground.

A hint of the metallic scent of blood filled the air.

Seeing this scene, Li Hongzhuang’s eyes narrowed slightly.

This was the Cui residence, the foremost family in Giant Tablet City.

Yet “Thirteen” had brazenly walked into the Cui family like this, unreserved and confident.

Li Hongzhuang wanted to say something, but ultimately, she remained silent. What more could she remind “Thirteen” of?

She knew that since “Thirteen” had decided to take action, he had already considered everything.

“Cui family…”

Li Hongzhuang clenched her teeth, and her gaze became resolute.

Today, she might not personally deal with the Cui family, but “Thirteen” was someone she had invited, a way of collecting some “interest” from the Cui family in advance.

Once she obtained the Elixir Core Pill and successfully advanced to the Divine Power Realm in the future, she would settle the score with the Cui family!

Stepping through the gates of the Cui residence, a multitude of lanterns adorned the place, making the vast mansion look extraordinarily luxurious and grand.

Some servants inside the mansion were bustling about, attending to the needs of the Cui family members, helping them wash, get ready for sleep, and even warming the beds for some beautiful maids.

Several patrolling martial practitioners approached them head-on and noticed Lu Changsheng and Li Hongzhuang.

“Which family’s servants are you? You seem to have no manners. Do you even know where you are?” one of the patrolling martial practitioners sternly reprimanded.

However, Lu Changsheng completely ignored them, not even pausing his steps.

“Stop!”

The patrolling martial practitioners began to sense that something was amiss.

But Lu Changsheng paid no attention to them and continued walking without halting, moving closer until he was within about three meters. He then gestured with his hand.

“Swish, swish, swish.”

Silk organ swords flew out instantaneously.

In the blink of an eye, they reached the patrolling martial practitioners.

“Pfft.”

Some of the patrolling martial practitioners were even at the Bone-Forging Realm, but they didn’t react at all. They were instantly pierced through vital points and collapsed, convulsing on the ground.

“All…”

“Assassins, there are assassins!”

“Murder…”

Inside the Cui residence, Lu Changsheng had, with a wave of his hand, killed a group of patrolling martial practitioners.

However, this also exposed his whereabouts.

Inside the Cui residence, many servants and guards observed Lu Changsheng’s actions from a distance.

One after another, they screamed and scattered in all directions.

Lu Changsheng’s eyebrows furrowed slightly, but this was not unexpected.

He had boldly entered the Cui residence. Did he really expect not to be noticed?

That was simply impossible!

“Continue.”

Lu Changsheng instructed Li Hongzhuang to lead the way and proceeded directly toward the alchemy room.

The alchemy room was somewhat far, and now that Lu Changsheng’s presence was known, many martial practitioners flocked toward him.

However, Lu Changsheng couldn’t be bothered to engage in prolonged confrontations. In the cover of the night, the silk organ swords were incredibly effective, making murder seem invisible.

These martial practitioners and guards, even those at the Bone-Forging Realm, couldn’t withstand a single strike from Lu Changsheng and were “instantly” killed.

Indeed, a seventh-rank martial technique was truly extraordinary!

Lu Changsheng left a trail of bodies along his path.

Anyone who stood in his way was instantly killed with the silk organ swords.

For a moment, the sound of cries echoed within the Cui residence.

Li Hongzhuang looked back and saw that there were corpses strewn about in various positions behind her.

This scene was extremely shocking!

Anyone who saw it would find it spine-chilling.

However, within Li Hongzhuang, there was an undeniable sense of exhilaration.

Wasn’t this what she had dreamed of?

Being able to murder so brazenly within the Cui residence, to reign supreme and unopposed!

Originally, she believed that only a martial practitioner in the Divine Power Realm could commit murders so fearlessly within the Cui residence.

Yet now, “Thirteen” had achieved just that.

And “Thirteen” was only an organ-refining practitioner.

“Even an organ-refining practitioner can be this powerful, it’s unbelievable.”

Li Hongzhuang muttered softly.

Even though she and “Thirteen” were somewhat acquainted.

She had even witnessed “Thirteen” personally slay Zhao Qilei, the “Ferocious Blade.”

However, this time was even more astonishing!

“Ssh.”

Another martial practitioner fell.

Suddenly, Lu Changsheng stopped in his tracks.

Around him, the area was filled with lifeless bodies, and the air was heavy with the scent of blood.

Even if top organ-refining practitioners attempted to intrude, they would face countless difficulties.

Yet, Lu Changsheng appeared extraordinarily at ease.

“Miss Li, it doesn’t seem as difficult to reach the alchemy room as you suggested,” Lu Changsheng said, looking at the room before him.

The alchemy room!

The core of the Cui family.

Under normal circumstances, no one but the core members of the Cui family could enter or exit the alchemy room.

“Not so difficult?” Li Hongzhuang glanced at the pile of corpses behind her, her lips twitching.

She was starting to wonder if “Thirteen” was already a martial practitioner in the Divine Power Realm.

After all, which organ-refining practitioner could effortlessly slaughter dozens if not hundreds, of martial practitioners as if they were taking a stroll, and arriving at the Cui family’s alchemy room?

Nonetheless, upon reaching the alchemy room, the real test had just begun.

“Creak.”

The door to the alchemy room opened, and three elderly men with youthful appearances walked out.

The gazes of the elderly men instantly fell upon Lu Changsheng and Li Hongzhuang.

“Miss Li of the Li family, 1 let you escape last time. Why did you come back to your death?” one of the elderly men sighed, shaking his head slightly..
