Hide in the Banished Palace and Level Up To A Big Boss Chapter 162: Su Family

Two months later, a large number of masters from other regions appeared in Fenglan.

These master didn’t stay put.

They flew anywhere there was information about Li Mu’s whereabouts.

“No matter what, we cannot allow such a prodigy to appear in Fenglan,” said a master from an unknown region.

“What that Li Mu is carrying belongs to us Demon Clan. It doesn’t belong to the Human Race, let alone those non-Demon, non-Human, non-Orc beings.”

Meanwhile, the expressions on the masters from the various clans of Fenglan got more and more solemn.

Meanwhile, another batch of opponents were searching for Li Mu.

“We have to find Li Mu before anyone else does. If the foreign master or the Demon Clan finds him first, then we’d be wasting a godsent opportunity to take control of the Land of Demon Slayers.”

“Once we get Li Mu, we can finally rise.”

Everyone in Fenglan went on a hysterical search for anything remotely related to Li Mu.

“Did that guy just sink into the ocean?”

“He is a prodigy who managed to reach level 78 after all. so of course he’s no ordinary guy. If it were really that easy to catch him, then he would’ve been captured back at the Land of Demon Slayers.

“Well if we can’t find him now then we probably won’t be able to find him at all.”

Meanwhile, Li Mu was searching through every town and city that surrounded the Land of Demon Slayers.

There was still no trace of Xu Fang and the other girls.

“Did they leave Fenglan?”

It had been more than three months since the Land of Demon Slayers first opened its entrances. The three girls could haven’t just disappeared, right?

Maybe some other organization captured them.

Very much possible!

Besides this, Li Mu couldn’t think of any other reason.

All of the girls are Humans, they must have a lingering scent of the Land of Demon Slayers on them when they came out from there.

Now the entire Fenglan is searching for him and every single human.

That damned stone slab and its rankings… Why did it display his name so prominently?

In fact, how did it even know his name?

Race or clan was easy to tell, and the region of origin wasn’t difficult either.

But how did it know his name?

There’s no way the great being who built the Demon Tower is so powerful that, even after being dead for so many years, he could still know about everyone’s information.

Could it be a bug in this world?

A world where the rules are so stable, how could there be bugs? That would mean that there must be someone of an even higher Realm than he knew of.

…

Chang Ba County, Wuxin City.

In a courtyard somewhere, the four girls sat around a table.

On the table were many unique wooden cubes with various different engravings on them.

“Four Dots!”

The girl sitting at the East corner threw out a wooden cube before turning towards the girl sitting beside her.

“Xu Fang, are you feeling better?”

“Sis, thank you. I’m much better now. But all my meridians are shattered. I don’t think I’ll ever be able to cultivate powers for the rest of my life,” Xu Fang sighed as she shook her head sadly.

“It’s all because of the Viper Clan. If it wasn’t for them, our Su Family wouldn’t be in this state, and we wouldn’t have implicated all of you to cause your injuries.”

“Su Qing, our injuries aren’t your fault. On the contrary, the Su Family saved us. If not, we’d be Viper food by now.”

Xu Fang shook her head and sighed.

“Come to think of it, your hubby is truly an exceptional person! Inventing something like this, hiding various arts of war in a game.” Su Qing held up one of the tiles and sized up its engraved surface.

“Of course. When the four of us were bored, he would teach us this game. Speaking of Li Mu, I wonder where he is? When can we see him again?”

As Xu Fang spoke of Li Mu, her eyes welled up and a frown appeared on her face.

The other two girls became upset as well.

All of a sudden, they were no longer in the mood for mahjong.

“Right now we’re trapped by the Viper Clan, and all of your meridians are shattered. Otherwise, I will definitely bring all of you to leave Wuxin and find your husband.”

“We appreciate the thought Su Qing. Your family isn’t in a great state at the moment either.”

“Sigh! If the masters of the Viper Clan weren’t searching for Li Mu, and at the same time fear his powers as a Human, I’m afraid us Su Family would already be ravaged by them.”

Su Qing also turned gloomy, like the other girls.

The Viper Clan was too powerful.

The Su Family on the other hand, was just a small branch of the Human Clan.

It all started because someone spread rumors about the Su Family owning some Glacial Grass, which led to the Viper Clan pestering them asking for it.

The Su Family didn’t have such a thing, naturally they wouldn’t be able to give it away. So the Viper Clan threatened and beleaguered them.

The Vipers are infamous in Fenglan for robbing and killing with no regard for the lives of others.

Even the other orc clans despised them.

If they weren’t so powerful, they would have been defeated by the other clans by now.

The Su Family lived in fear as they faced such a powerful clan.

Every single day was filled with dread.

Three months ago, when the Viper Clan besieged the Su Family, Xu Fang and the other girls became involved in the war for no apparent reason.

When the Vipers saw that the three girls were Human, they instinctively thought that they were reinforcements for the Su Family, so they immediately attacked them as well.

The sword qi which Li Mu left in their bodies were released, slaying several Viper masters.

At the same time, the three girls became a target of the Viper Clan’s attack. Right after the sword qi was exhausted, they were severely injured.

Although the Vipers didn’t manage to obtain anything useful from the battle, they had lost several masters. The three girls were gravely wounded, but were saved by the Su Family.

In the eyes of the Su Family, these girls were masters, as well as their savior.

Naturally, they tried their very best to treat them.

On the other hand, the three girls viewed the Su Family as their savior too.

When the Viper Clan lost the battle, they were further enraged.

However, just as they were re-arranging their forces in preparation for another attack, they received information about the Land of Demon Slayers.

Only then did they temporarily put the Su Family matter aside. They changed their plans and decided to leave the Su Family trapped while they went to look for Li Mu.

Even the slight bit of treasures revealed to be in the hands of Li Mu was several times more valuable than the Glacial Grass,

For the time being, the Su Family had some breathing room.

“Su Qing, I have faith that everything will improve,” Xu Fang consoled her.

If hubby could find this place now, the Su Family’s problem could surely be resolved.

Although until now, the three girls still had no idea how strong their hubby was.

Just some sword qi that he’d left in their bodies were able to injure the Viper Clan elder.

Naturally, in their minds, their hubby’s strength was much greater.

“Sigh. The three of you keep telling me about how powerful your husband is. What’s his name?”

“Hubby! We’ve been calling him that all along.”

The three girls shook their heads.

Ever since they were married in their teenage years, they have been calling him that.

No one dared to ask, so no one in the village knew what their husband’s name was.

“You don’t even know his name!”

Su Qing sighed.

If the three girls’ husband had a title, the Viper Clan would think twice about attacking the Su Family after knowing about him. And if the husband of the three girls knew about it, it would be easier for him to find them as well.

After playing a few more rounds, the four of them were no longer in the mood for mahjong.

They simply sat at the table, resting their heads on their hands.

Tap tap tap…

After a while, small foot steps came from outside the courtyard.

A girl dressed in maid’s uniform ran in.

“Miss, the Chief is back!”

Su Qing stood up from the table, her eyes gleaming with hope. “Did father find reinforcements?”

“That… Miss, I’m afraid…” the maid stumbled over her words.

“What is it? Hurry up and say it!”

When she saw how the maid reacted, Su Qing’s face paled.

She had already guessed what had happened.

The maid bit her lips, then said softly: “The Chief came back with several injuries. He’s feeling… upset!”

Pah!

Su Qing shoved the table away, and ran out of the courtyard.

“Chief Su is injured?” Xu Fang asked, concerned.

If Chief Su was injured, then the Su Family had lost their last hope.

When the Su Family was trapped, Chief Su’s hair greyed in the span of one night. He was the only Virtual Realm master in the family,

No matter how big or small, everything in the Su Family had to go through him first.

In order to escape the siege, he had to find a chance to escape the Vipers’ encirclement and seek reinforcements as the only Virtual Realm master in the family.

But he is also the the strongest person in the Su Family.

If he was absent for too long, the Vipers might find out and that would be the end of the Su Family.

With the future of the Su Family on his shoulders, Chief Su had to run back-and-forth seeking a solution.

…

Outside of Wuxin City, in the main hall of the Viper Clan cave…

All the Viper Clan members that held important positions were assembled. This included all of the elders.

“Till now there is still no information on the human Li Mu. In my opinion, this guy is already in hiding. It doesn’t matter how much effort we put into it, this search is futile. It’s better if we take down the Su Family in Wuxin City first.”

“Yeah, Chief! Yesterday we wounded the chief of the Su Family outside the mountains. We should take this opportunity when the Su’s forces are weakened to get the Glacial Grass. We can always make plans for Li Mu after we’ve strengthened our powers.”
