"With this evidence, the deputy mayor will trust me more. He will never tell Chen Mu the truth."
"It's a good opportunity to let Zhang and Li take the blame. Maybe I can even use their lives to befriend Chen Mu!"
"Ha! Kill two birds with one stone!"
He was thinking secretly.
A burst of ghostly howling sounds came from nowhere, like thunder, and suddenly appeared in my ears.
The hairs on his neck suddenly stood up, and he almost instinctively activated his spiritual power to protect himself.
But as soon as the bright white light circle rose, it shattered with a bang.
An indigo hand as big as a palm leaf fan suddenly grabbed his neck.
Click!
The orange-faced man's neck was broken instantly.
The orange-peel-faced man's head was tilted, almost parallel to his shoulders. His eyes were wide open, and the expression of fear that had just risen in his face suddenly stopped. His whole body seemed to have been stopped, and he froze in place.
The next moment, the crooked head suddenly shouted loudly: "Surrender!"
"Whatever you want, I'll give it to you!"
"Whatever you want to know, I'll tell you!"
"I follow Vice Dean Sun of the General Affairs Office and know a lot of secrets!"
"Spare my life!"
Chen Mu's mouth twitched suddenly as he looked at the orange-peel-faced man whose neck skin and muscles were torn and bleeding but who was still chattering.
The cultivators in this world may look like immortals with fragile bodies, but their bodies are actually extremely strong.
What a mistake!
hum!
The black moon blades flashed one after another.
The orange-peel-faced man who was full of energy just now suddenly froze.
Black smoke rose up and instantly enveloped the orange-peel-faced man, swallowing him up in a flash.
A mountain breeze blew, and a dead leaf fell to the ground. Apart from a drop of blood splashing onto the soil, there was no other trace.
……
Five days later, at the warehouse door.
A thirty-something inspector dressed in black clasped his fists and said, "Deputy inspector Sun, please stay."
"Later I will send someone to try to find Zhang and Li in the surrounding area."
He glanced at the people behind Sun Wuhuan, took his arm and walked a few steps to the side, whispering, "Wuyan Mountain has just been taken under control, and some of the remnants of the Yanxia Sect have been causing trouble from time to time."
"The patrol officers at the outskirts of the mountain are often attacked inexplicably."
"If it weren't for Elder Liu's mercy, who only allowed us to patrol the mountain during the day, who knows how many more people would have died."
"You have to be prepared. Those two people disappeared at night. I'm afraid it's very dangerous."
Sun Wuhuan's face was gloomy: "I understand."
"However, after all, they are two alchemy boys from the upper house. I hope Brother Li will pay more attention to them."
Li, the steward, breathed a sigh of relief: "As long as you understand, we will do our best."
Watching Li Duguan and the three gray-clad patrol officers leave, Sun Wuhuan turned around expressionlessly and waved: "Go away."
Everyone clasped their fists and bowed, knowing that Sun Wuhuan was in a bad mood, and they all left carefully without saying a word.
Chen Mu, who was hiding at the edge of the crowd, pretended to be relieved and turned around to go back to the alchemy room.
"Junior Brother Chen, you did a great job!" Sun Wuhuan came to Chen Mu and said coldly at some point.
"Brother, you are too kind." Chen Mu said modestly, "I just mentioned it to the warehouse manager Zeng."
"After all, these two people are from our General Affairs Council. I feel really uneasy when they suddenly disappeared for so many days." He looked worried.
"I hope from the bottom of my heart that both of them can be safe." Chen Mu's eyes were full of sincerity.
Sun Wuhuan stared at Chen Mu, speechless for a moment.
Three people who were targeting this guy disappeared at the same time, but this guy was pretending to be stupid in front of me.
Do you think I'm stupid?!
"Deputy Governor Sun, do you have any other instructions?"
"If there is nothing else, I should go back to make the elixir."
"Without Zhang and Li, the progress of alchemy has been greatly slowed down. If the yellow sprout rice is not processed in time and a large amount of it is damaged, it will affect you, which will be bad."
"How about you contact the other courtyard and find two more alchemy boys to go down the mountain?"
Sun Wuhuan looked at Chen Mu with an increasingly indifferent gaze.
He snorted coldly and turned around to leave.
Facing the puzzled looks from the disciples in the nearby warehouse, Chen Mu smiled bitterly: "Alas, two people are gone, but the deputy director won't add anyone for me."
"That's a lot of yellow sprout rice. How long will it take me to train?"
"So miserable?"
“It’s just that miserable!”
"You are in trouble for no reason."
"Who says it's not the case? Alas..."
Chen Mu shook his head and smiled bitterly, then exchanged a few more words of greeting before turning around and leaving.
……
In the alchemy room, Chen Mu remained silent for a long while before he sighed.
"I was impulsive."
We already know the three people's plan, so we can actually be a little safer.
Chen Mu reflected deeply.
When you encounter something, you actually think of eradicating it at its root right away? !
He couldn't help but recall the changes he had experienced along the way.
It took a long while before I realized, “I have been affected by this cruel world.”
Chen Mu sighed.
This world has forced a kind-hearted person like me to become so cruel.
“So, is this world wrong after all?”
Damn it!
"Then Sun Wuhuan must have suspected me."
"If you try to trip me up..." Chen Mu's mood became worse and worse.
Run? No.
He was on the right track to accumulate Daoist skills to exchange for secret techniques. He was unwilling to give up now.
Fight? Even worse.
Sun Wuhuan has a strong background, and the Sun family has deep roots in Jilong Road.
I am just a nobody who was promoted from the outer courtyard, how can I fight against others? !
Moreover, Sun Wuhuan seemed to have mastered the secret method of condensing the acupoints.
Even if he has not yet achieved the state of condensing the acupoints, he is definitely stronger than the ordinary disciples who have broken through delusion.
If my arms and legs touch it, the consequences will be...
Damn!
Chen Mu slapped the low table beside him angrily.
Should I give in to Sun Wuhuan, work for him for free, and help him earn the white jade money?
After thinking about it for a long time, Chen Mu couldn't help but sigh.
"I am just a low-level disciple of Jilong Dao, what can I do..."
"After all, you are still too weak, so you can only defend passively like this."
"Well... let's just take it one step at a time." Chen Mu lay down on the couch resigned to his fate, his face dejected.
……
Late at night, in foggy Shandong, inside a cave more than 500 meters underground.
Liang Yi was floating in the air, with a scroll fluttering in front of him.
He held the brush in his right hand, thinking hard while carefully making corrections on it.
Just as he was recalling the direction of a winding water vein, an invisible ripple suddenly swept past him.
It was as if someone was brushing the soles of his feet with a feather. Liang Yi shivered all over and immediately forgot the water vein route he had just remembered.
Chen Mu?!
What the hell is this guy doing?!
Could it be that they dug a tunnel here? We are almost out of the Mist Mountain here!
He was just about to go up and say a few words.
The complex water veins suddenly emerged in my mind.
His face lit up with joy and he picked up his pen to take notes.
Then another invisible wave swept by.
