Chapter 324: Chapter 324: Straightening Things Out

Shen Ci’an’s mood was gloomy; the scene of the Blood Clan’s extermination was too brutal, and hatred burned fiercely in his heart.

Su Muyao handed the freshly made porridge to Shen Ci’an, saying, "Eat something first, and once we go out, we’ll find those Law Enforcement Disciples and kill them one by one."

Shen Ci’an was not in the right mental state, but she knew her persuasion would be futile.

Some hatred and emotions can only be vented, so it’s best to go find some Bright Hall Law Enforcement Disciples to kill.

As for those with high power, they will continue to kill them once their strength increases.

Shen Ci’an looked at the porridge Su Muyao handed over. He actually didn’t want to drink it; he had no appetite at all.

But facing wife’s gaze, he couldn’t utter a word of rejection.

He didn’t want her to worry either.

Fortunately, she was still by his side at this time; otherwise, he felt he would go mad and completely lose control of his emotions.

Shen Ci’an opened his mouth and said, "Those Law Enforcement Disciples are not easy to find. They wear black robes and masks during their killings, but they don’t wear these in daily life, making them hard to find."

"Moreover, no Beastman knows where their Bright Hall is located."

"They are hiding in places others cannot find, developing in secret."

For this reason, Shen Ci’an felt a blockage in his chest, and he was terribly stifled.

Su Muyao gave Shen Ci’an a soothing smile, saying, "As long as we are determined, we can always find them."

"Eat first, after eating, we tidy up a bit and head to the Sikou Family’s domain to explore Sikou Family matters. Since they have a compass specifically against Blood Clan Beastman, there must be something related to the Blood Clan within their family."

"Or they might have contact with people from Bright Hall."

"These past few days I have been continuously reviewing, and even used Time Reversal methods to watch past scenes several times. I always feel that Bright Hall developed so fast with support from some major power."

"Moreover, the Sikou Family used to be a moderate family, now it has leaped to become a top family, developing so rapidly, there must be some unknown secrets."

While Shen Ci’an was in a daze these past few days, Su Muyao arranged many things.

She made this decision.

She originally wanted to go to Xuanyuan Mountain, but seeing Shen Ci’an like this, she wasn’t reassured.

It’s better to investigate some matters first.

Moreover, she had asked the system, and it said Yun Qinglan was fine.

As for Nalan Gui Xue, also fine.

Thus, she can stay with Shen Ci’an to do some things with peace of mind.

Previously, those scenes of annihilation had left Shen Ci’an’s mind very confused. Now, listening to Su Muyao’s words, his thoughts gradually became clear.

He pondered deeply, saying, "Wife, I’ll go explore alone."

The enemies are too powerful, the Blood Clan’s affairs and hatred he has to avenge alone, he cannot drag his wife into this maelstrom, it’s too dangerous.

Thinking she might get hurt, Shen Ci’an couldn’t bear it.

He would rather die than let her suffer any harm.

Su Muyao knew what he was worried about, she brought out some talismans she had drawn over the last three days, saying, "Although our current strength is only Level 12, I have these talismans, including Invisibility Talisman, we will not be in danger."

"And besides, there is no truly safe place on the Cang Beast Continent. We finally reunited, we should do everything together."

"Do you really want to leave me behind?"

Shen Ci’an panicked inside, saying, "How could I, I couldn’t bear to."

"That’s settled then, have the porridge while it’s hot."

The system spoke, "Host, at this moment you need to be by Shen Ci’an’s side, I feel only you can suppress and soothe his aura, otherwise he might have gone mad."

"Blood Clan Beastmen can act recklessly when they go mad."

"That Xuan Che used a sacrificial method to activate the Blood Clan Altar and send Xuan Kang away, while simultaneously destroying the altar, making it impossible for anyone to enter the Mortal Beast Continent through the Blood Clan Altar."

Hearing these words, Su Muyao pondered, saying, "You mean those Bright Hall Law Enforcement Disciples rushed into the Blood Clan to use that Blood Clan Altar? But what would they use the altar for?"

The system said, "Hard to say, possibly."

"The altar can go to many places, it can go to Mortal Beast Continent."

Su Muyao’s expression shifted, "Are they trying to go to Mortal Beast Continent?"

"But what in Mortal Beast Continent is worth them going there."

"No wait, previously Liu Mengyan and those Spider Beastmen tried everything to get to Mortal Beast Continent."

"There must be something there they want."

The system analyzed, "Host, you’ve seen it on Cang Beast Continent, the environment here actually isn’t suitable for survival."

"Moreover, the dark aura has invaded many beasts here, causing many to mutate into Mutated Beasts, causing food scarcity."

"If any power reaches the Mortal Beast Continent first, they can occupy its land, resources, and food."

Su Muyao felt the system’s analysis was right.

At this time, Shen Ci’an was spooning porridge one mouthful at a time.

A warm feeling instantly slid down his throat into his stomach, and this warmth seemed to spread throughout his limbs, giving his body a comfortable feeling.

His tense body gradually relaxed.

It reminded him of many scenes living in the Mortal Beast Continent.

He thought, his happiest time had been with wife in the Beiluo Tribe of the Northern Territory.

After eating, he slowly regained his sanity.

...

A few days later, Su Muyao and Shen Ci’an tidied up a bit and arrived at the central city, Jufeng City, in the Sikou Family’s domain.

This Jufeng City is surrounded by many mountains, with a massive city in-between where many Beastmen reside.

On the mountain peaks, there is a castle-like building where the Sikou Family lives.

Su Muyao and Shen Ci’an found a stall to sit down and eat.

Most foods on the Cang Beast Continent contain Spiritual Energy, except food types are limited.

They ordered a bowl of meatball soup and listened to their surroundings.

"Clearly noticed that recently the city is under martial law."

"Right, I heard it’s because several talented younger generations of the Sikou Family have died. The Sikou Family’s Clan Elders are furious and want a thorough investigation, but there’s no clue yet."

"What happened exactly?"

"Who knows, just be careful recently and avoid trouble with the patrol teams."

"Could it be the Sikou Clan’s enemies did it?"

"Lately, the only ones with a grudge against the Sikou Family are the Xuanyuan Family. Previously, the madam took the second lady to the Xuanyuan Family, where she took a fancy to the Young Master Xuan Yuan, wanting to marry him as her Beast Husband. But Young Master Xuan Yuan said he had a fiancée and refused the second lady on the spot. This caused friction between the two families, so it’s possible that the Xuanyuan Family killed those younger generations."

"The Xuanyuan Family usually doesn’t involve itself with external matters or conflicts, so unlikely they would kill."

"That was before; now it’s said their Young Master has awakened the ancestor’s power of the Xuanyuan Family, has a strong talent, and during a ceremony at Xuanyuan Mountain, earthly signs appeared symbolizing auspiciousness, indicating this Young Master is under the protection of Xuanyuan Mountain’s spirit. He is the hope of the Xuanyuan Clan and is set to rise, with no need to worry about anything."

"Moreover, the Xuanyuan Family is an old family with deep roots, unlike the quickly developed Sikou Family."

Hearing this, Su Muyao’s expression shifted.

The system excitedly said, "Host, could they be talking about Yun Qinglan?"
