Eternal life begins with saving my clan

A couple of minutes earlier, Su Yen stood in the sky above the Cao Clan with both hands behind his back. The gentle night breeze blew his hair slowly.

However, his gaze was as gentle and calm as the breeze. He looked in a particular direction, blinking, and after a couple of minutes, an old man appeared.

It was the smiling old beggar. He was still in his usual old tattered cloth with a nauseating stink. Though he looked like a rotten beggar, the bright burning vitality in his eyes was another story entirely.

He walked calmly on the air and stopped a couple of feet from Su Yen. His eagle-like eyes looked at the extremely handsome young man with a deep frown etched on his face.

He accepted this mission because of the enormous resources for his cultivation. He had been stuck at the peak of the early stage 1 Core Refining for over 20 years, and his lifespan was coming to an end.

Thus, he was desperate to break through to increase his lifespan by a couple of decades.

Most times, he was idle with nothing to do, and one of his hobbies was to look at the mortals and how they struggled day in and day out.

The sudden change in the city was a lot of fun to him, watching those weaklings killed by those weaker than them. To him, he didn't see anything spectacular about those in the Qi Refinement killing those in the Foundation Building realm.

He only attributed it to those people being weak and useless.

As for his target he needed to kill, he didn't think much of them too much. He had killed a lot of half-step Foundation Building realm in the past. They were like flies smashed to nothing.

And today, it won't change. So, he thought.

"You're not a half-step foundation realm expert?" The old man said with a hint of shock in his aged voice.

Su Yen looked at him and didn't utter a word. He was also checking the person that dared to assassinate him, but when he found out he was only a weak early stage 1 Core Refining expert, he lost interest immediately. He had chosen to lay low for a couple of days to comprehend the chaotic sword technique and try to break through the Golden Core realm.

Unfortunately, he couldn't. He only managed to comprehend the sword technique and broke through to the Core Refining forbidden stage.

Therefore, he decided it was time to shake things up, not only in Baiyun city but the whole Zizhu prefecture.

As for the old man, he didn't rush to attack Su Yen when he couldn't see through his cultivation realm. Besides, his gut feeling was telling him this young man was far from simple.

As an old bone, he had his share of experience in both life and death, and one of those moments was right in front of him.

The more he looked at the young man, the more his heart raced in panic. He wanted to retreat, but when he thought of his almost used-up lifespan, he gritted his teeth, ready to go all out. Besides, he didn't believe a young man like him would be an intermediate Core Refining stage expert.

Since he couldn't be an intermediate Core Refining stage expert, he still had a chance to kill him, and if he couldn't kill him, he guaranteed his escape.

Whoosh!

The old man felt a gust of wind blow to his face, and he blinked; when he opened his eyes, Su Yen was right in front of him, staring directly into his eyes.

'What the…'

Gasped!

The old man had his heart jump to his throat, and all the hair on his body stood on end. Before he could understand what was going on, he watched as Su Yen slowly reached out his hand to grab his neck.

'No! I can't let him hold my neck!' The old man screamed in his mind.

However, the reality was different from what was going on in his mind. Though he wished to avoid the hand, his body reacted slowly.

Ah!

A whispered scream escaped from his mouth before Su Yen clamped his hand around his neck and carried him as if he was carrying a baby.

The old man watched everything with wide eyes. He was too stunned to struggle for escape.

"Killing you would be an honor from me," Su Yen spoke for the first time.

The old man only looked like a fool in his hand as he disappeared from the sky. Since the old man appeared and for his capture, it only took three seconds.

The strongest person in the Death Shadow Organization was captured in three seconds. If those in the organization learn of this, perhaps they would have to flee from Baiyun city.

Su Yen appeared in his courtyard, with a young man waiting for him. Without uttering a word, he threw the old man toward the young man.

"Beat him until he is willing to tell us everything," Su Yen commanded and took his seat. He poured himself a cup of tea and sipped it calmly.

Right in front of him, the young man, who was none other than Zimo, looked at the old man with a fascinated gaze.

"You must be the assassin…" He grinned and unsheathed his sword.

"Your majesty, do you want his body intact or not?"

"Your choice. I've not decided what I want to do with him yet."

An evil grin appeared on Zimo's face as he looked at the old man from head to toe. He knew the old man was a Core Refining expert, but so what.

As for the old man, he didn't believe what was happening. He was captured by a young man called and another young man called him His Majesty.

'What the hell is going on?' he screamed in his heart as he was on the border of insanity.

Who in their right sense would call themselves His Majesty if they were not courting death? And from the faces of these two, they were not kidding.

Apart from that, he was too fight a weak Foundation Building realm stage 2. Are they looking down on him?

Various emotions flashed through his face, but the most prevailing one was anger. He was an esteemed expert in the Early Core Refining stage. Only those from the powerful clans had the right to stand with him on the same level.

But now, he was reduced to this.

Zimo didn't know what was going on in the heart of the old man. To him, he was happy to test his strength against someone as powerful as the old man.

Without thinking too much of it, he attacked and swung his sword in an arc.

Watching the incoming sword strike, the old man didn't blink and disappeared from his spot. Zimo didn't even catch a glimpse of how the old man moved.

Still, he wasn't worried. This was pride that came from their pagoda bloodline.

As for the old man, he appeared right behind him in a blink and attacked with a deadly palm strike. From his attack, Su Yen realized the old man was going all out.

The palm strike was too fast for Zimo to react, and when the attack was about to slam into his body. The attacking power in the palm strike suddenly reduced, allowing Zimo to escape with his movement skill.

Meanwhile, the old man was stupefied by what just happened. His attack should have hit his target but mysteriously it slowed down, allowing his target to escape.

He looked at Zimo with wide eyes before turning to look at Su Yen sipping his tea. 'Who are these people?' He screamed in his mind.

With vast years of experience, he knew these two young men were not from ordinary clans. And their foundation must be deep.

Instead of getting intimidated, the old man was curious and wanted to find the secret and limit of such magical skill. With that, he attacked once and disappeared from his spot.

This time around, Zimo was prepared.

The old man appeared right in front of him and attacked with a terrifying punch. Zimo didn't stay idle and retaliated with a powerful sword strike.

The old man didn't care about the sword and wanted to evade it easily only to be shocked. His body froze for a split of a second, and Zimo's sword strike cut through his chest.

Ahhhhhh!

He screamed and jumped back.

This time around, a deep fear etched on his face. He knew what happened and realized how terrifying it was. Before he could decide how to defend such a horrifying skill.

Zimo moved. His speed cannot be compared to the old man. To the old man, he was watching Zimo moving in slow motion. But as he wanted to move, his body failed to yield to his control.

'What sorcery is this?!' He exclaimed in his heart.

Ahhhhhhhh

Zimo's sword cut deep into his other thigh, with blood flowing out like a broken dam. Still, the old man did not fall and retreated a couple of meters.

However, the situation was the same. No matter what he did, he couldn't escape from Zimo's clutches. In a couple of seconds, his old body was riddled with tens of deep sword injuries.

Finally, he couldn't stand anymore and wriggled on the ground, pleading for his life.

"Please spare my life, and I will do everything you ask me to do," he begged, with tears hanging at the corner of his eyes.

"Why should I spare you? You're useless to me," Su Yen said, standing up from his seat.

When the old man heard this, he was stunned for a second before he shouted, "I can be your dog for the rest of my. Please don't kill me."

"Besides, I know a secret."
