Xiuxian, I can travel to another world

Chapter 440 Pig Demon
Devouring Essence Technique!
As the cultivation technique was activated, it was as if a certain acupoint had been opened in the physical body, and the ability to digest and absorb nutrients suddenly increased dramatically.

Originally, refining the flesh and blood of demons took an hour, but now it has been reduced by nearly half.

"call……"

Once the demon's flesh and blood had been completely refined, Zhu Juchang exhaled a breath of turbid air and slowly opened his eyes:

"The cultivation techniques of this world are truly remarkable. If even a seventh-rank martial artist possesses such wondrous methods, what kind of inheritance must a high-ranking expert have?"

"If one has the flesh and blood of a demon of the third rank or above to refine, one's cultivation progress should be able to surpass the essence overflowing from the Supreme Immortal Bone."

"Well……"

"Something's not right!"

He frowned slightly, looking puzzled.

"The essence contained within the flesh and blood of a third-order demon is extremely terrifying. According to the division of the world from which we came, even a Dao Foundation cultivator would not lose out by refining it. The strength of eighth-grade and seventh-grade martial artists in this world is far inferior to that of a Dao Foundation cultivator."

"Does the Heavenly Dao of this realm drastically suppress the strength of cultivators?"

Zhu Ju looked up at the sky, lost in thought.

The Zhenyuan Realm was originally a 'demon prison,' so it was only natural to suppress the strength of those within, especially the physical body, which was terrifying, since demons are primarily powerful in their physical bodies.

result.

This world has turned misfortune into blessing.

Almost all cultivators from outside the realm who were tainted by the Dao poison died, but the lineage of this realm remained intact.

"Crash..."

An unusual noise came from outside.

"What's wrong?" Zhu Ju asked, frowning.
"What happened?"

"Reporting to Young Master," someone said solemnly.
"It seems there's been some unrest on South Street; there's been a lot of noise outside. We've already sent someone to inquire."

"Hmm." Zhu Ju nodded, glancing subconsciously at the location of the ancestral temple:
"pity……"

If Daoist Jingyun were in charge, even if a riot broke out in the city, a seventh-rank expert could suppress it.

No matter what.

Taoist Jingyun clearly did not want to get involved in trouble, and had already taken his leave a few days ago, taking Shuang'er with him.

"Come in!"

"quick!"

As I pondered, the shouts drew closer.

"Young Master, we caught Zhu at the back door... caught a suspicious person."

"Oh!"

Zhu Ju raised an eyebrow. Only after opening the door and seeing the person he had captured did he understand why the guard had hesitated.

"Zhu Ji!"

"Why did you run out?"

Zhu Ji's face was deathly pale, his clothes were tattered and covered in mud. If you didn't know him well, you would never recognize him as the former young master of the Zhu family.

Faced with Zhu Ju's question, he trembled and stammered, unable to speak.

"Did not say?"

Zhu Ju shook his head:

“Then send him back to prison. With the crime of escaping from prison and the crime of fratricide, no one will say anything if he is beaten to death on the spot.”

"No!" Zhu Ji cried out, kneeling on the ground.
"don't want……"

"I came to see my mother and sister. There was a prison break... I escaped in the chaos."

He was just a boy in his early teens, and his first reaction after being released from prison was to look for his family.

First, he went to Zhaiyi Alley, and later learned that the second branch of the Zhu family had come to the Zhu residence, so he secretly approached the Zhu residence.

Just then, the Zhu family was on a strict patrol, and he was caught red-handed.

"Is someone breaking into the prison?"

Zhu Ju frowned:

"Have all the people in the prison escaped?"

"Yes." Zhu Ji nodded, tears streaming down his face.

"Brother, I never intended to harm you. You were already dead, so I had no choice..."

"Please, brother, spare me! I don't want to die... I don't want to die!"

During his time imprisoned, he spent every day counting down the days until his execution, suffering immense mental anguish.

He was just a young man, just beginning to enjoy the beauty of the world, and naturally didn't want to die.

"Aunt Zhou and Nannan are in the backyard." Zhu Ju waved his hand.
"Let him see me once, then send him to jail."

"No!" Zhu Ji knelt on the ground and refused to get up.
"Big brother!"

"Brother, spare me! Let me go!"

Zhu Ju remained expressionless.

"Oh, right," Zhu Ji said hastily, remembering something.

"My second uncle, Zhu Chen, also escaped. On the way here, he even wanted me to help him deal with you."

He's going to kill you!

"Really?" Zhu Ju smiled faintly.
"I'm afraid he doesn't have the ability."

“He…he hates you to the bone, he’ll definitely come back.” Zhu Ji’s expression shifted, and he added:

"I also know that Zhu Chen has another powerful backer. That person promised him that as long as you die, he will be the next head of the Zhu family." "Oh!" Zhu Ju slowly sat up straight.
"Who is that person?"

"This..." Zhu Ji's eyes flickered:
"I do not know."

"But I know how to find Zhu Chen. Once I find him, I can find out who is behind him."

Zhu Ju touched his chin, seemingly lost in thought.

He paused for a moment, then took out a piece of silver from his pocket and tossed it over.

"Even if we see Aunt Zhou and Nan Nan, what then?"

"You can no longer stay in Taiyuan. Take this and leave. Go find another place to live."

As the broken silver coins rolled to his feet, Zhu Ji was stunned, his mind filled with countless thoughts, which ultimately turned into tears.

dark night.

The carriage was stopped in the middle of the long street.

The horse, pulled on, trembled with all four hooves and whimpered softly, yet dared not move, as if afraid of something.

"Peng!"

Accompanied by a muffled sound.

The sturdy carriage was torn to pieces, and several burly figures emerged from it.

"Damn it, I'm suffocating!"

One of them spoke, brandishing a spiked club, and lunged forward, crashing into the gate of the adjacent courtyard.

"boom!"

He smashed the heavy solid wood door to pieces.

"Ha ha……"

He brandished his spiked club, laughing wildly as he charged into the crowd, instantly sending blood and flesh flying everywhere.

on the street.

Another man reached out and pulled the horse pulling the cart in front of him, then opened his mouth wide and bit it.

"Crack!"

"puff……"

The horse's head was bitten off, and blood splattered from its neck.

"monster!"

"Monster!"

Terrified screams came from the courtyard, and the flickering torchlight revealed the true faces of several 'people'.

Standing nearly three meters tall, with a gaping maw full of fangs, and thick fur all over its body that looked like steel needles…

they,

They were a group of wild boars capable of walking upright!

Or,

Pig demon!

Similar scenes were found throughout Taiyuan Prefecture, with more than a dozen carriages bringing the monsters to various parts of the city.

Although these low-level demons can speak, they lack reason and immediately become ferocious when stimulated by the smell of meat.

Faced with the powerful physical body of the demon, even those who have reached the rank of entry level are powerless to resist; only those at the eighth rank can put up some resistance.

Ordinary people could only flee in panic.

All of a sudden.

The whole city was in chaos.

…………

Side courtyard of the Zhu residence.

To prevent any emergencies, Zhu Ju used this place to house the family members who were guarding the residence.

The Zhang family of four occupied a small courtyard all to themselves.

"Brother Zhang."

Zhu Chen appeared here at some unknown time, and cupped his hands in a respectful gesture towards the stern-faced Zhang Huyuan:

"We've known each other for many years and can be considered close friends."

"Seeing the Zhu family business fall into the hands of an ignorant child, and hearing that he has even sold the formula for dyeing cloth with black jade, it is inevitable that the family business will decline if things continue like this. I cannot bear to see the family business wither away, so I implore Brother Zhang to help me take him down. Once I become the head of the family, those two shops on North Street will belong to Brother Zhang."

"how?"

Zhang, the head guard, had a tense expression, gripped his long knife tightly, and his eyes darted back and forth.

"Like this..." Zhu Chen, with his hands behind his back, changed the subject upon seeing this and said slowly:
“I know my elder brother has done you a great favor, and I will not force you, Brother Zhang, to take action against Zhu Ju. When Zhu Ju makes his move, you can make an excuse not to be there, and Zhu Ju will then be indebted to you, Brother Zhang, how about that?”

"Once it's done, the shop on North Street will still be yours!"

"Brother Zhang!"

He sighed and said:
"Although you can get a lot of money from the Zhu family every year, it is ultimately a source without roots. Only your own business can be passed on to future generations."

"..." Zhang, the head nurse, glanced back at the mother and three women peeking through the crack in the door, took a deep breath, and said in a muffled voice:

"Feel sorry!"

"I owe my success today entirely to Master Zhu's help. I am deeply indebted to him and would never betray you, young master."
