Butcher Lu was like a fish out of water, twitching and jumping violently.
He instinctively opened his mouth to howl, but as soon as his larynx moved twice, his whole body became like a deflated ball, from a fat man with a face full of flesh, to a skinny bamboo pole with only skin and bones left.
After flapping its wings twice, it was completely lifeless.
Chen Mu walked into the room and saw Lu the butcher who had turned into a mummy in an instant. His eyelids twitched.
Looking at Wu Ruo, who was calm and composed, still like a gentle older sister, her face under the mask suddenly twitched.
"He's cruel!"
Click!
A crisp sound attracted Chen Mu's attention.
Ai Ji, who had broken his hands and feet on Yulin's back just now, has now landed on the ground.
Shi Xian helped straighten the forearm bones of his right hand that were sticking out of the skin.
Faint black lines were wriggling and entangled in the wound.
In just five breaths, the bloody wound had recovered into normal skin with a slightly pink tint!
The faces of the other people also looked rosy as if they had taken a tonic pill.
Shang Huan, who was intact, even had a nosebleed due to the beatings!
"It's really weird!"
Chen Mu didn't expect that Wu Ruo could actually extract the blood, energy and essence of others?
Judging from the situation, she can even share the healing power with the other six people!
Wow...awesome!
Unfortunately, he is not very content.
Wouldn't it be nice to be a good person like me?
"Alas... I'd better stay away from them."
Immediately, Chen Mu said calmly: "Deal with the aftermath and don't let me hear any trouble."
Then he slowly turned around and scanned the people one by one with his emotionless eyes.
Until the seven people were staring at him so hard that their bodies tensed up and Shang Huan's face trembled.
Then he spoke softly and said lightly: "There won't be a next time."
After saying this, without even looking at their reactions, black smoke rose into the sky and disappeared from everyone's sight in the blink of an eye.
……
As Chen Mu left, the atmosphere that had just been almost frozen suddenly eased.
"I'm alive!" Shang Huan patted his fat belly with a look of relief, his voice full of relief at surviving a disaster.
The six Wushan brothers and sisters said nothing, but stared into the air with different expressions.
After a while, Yulin finally said in a muffled voice: "Condensation?"
"Probably not." Xu Rao had a blank expression on his face.
"I have a question." Shi Xian tilted his head slightly and asked in confusion: "Don't you think the image of the billowing black smoke sounds familiar?"
"Sun family?!" Xu Rao, who was always indifferent, couldn't help but shrink his pupils.
"That mysterious man who killed two direct descendants of the Sun family and escaped unscathed from the pursuit of the Sun family's ancestor? Is he really Gongsun... Mr. Gongsun?!" Yulin took a breath of cold air.
The other people couldn't help but shudder.
They have always known that Gongsun Sheng is powerful, but they never expected him to be so powerful.
They rely on the same heart Gu, and now only three of them have mastered the spiritual light.
The other party was born on a deserted island, but in just a few years, he cultivated the jade seed, gained spiritual light, and gained the magic power to see through the illusion.
Now he has become an alchemist that everyone envies.
This speed...
If the other party wasn't so low-key, he would definitely be praised to the sky by the disciples of Jilong Dao!
Even though the six of them were arrogant, they still couldn't help but marvel at it, secretly feeling that it was not unfair for them to fall into the hands of such a person.
But even so, they did not connect the other party with the mysterious man wanted by the Sun family.
Maybe I had that thought at some point, but it was overturned by reason.
They knew that the other party was an alchemist who had broken through the realm of delusion, had a trump card, and was very powerful.
But it is impossible to be compared with Sun Jian. After all, he is a master of Ningqiao.
But now...
"Although I have tried my best to overestimate it, it is still underestimated." Wu Ruo shook his head slightly and sighed.
"I only know that his Heart-to-Heart Spell has become stronger." Lu Ku's face was calm, but there was a hint of bitterness in his eyes.
The six people fell silent at the same time.
"How come you only know now that the mysterious man is Mr. Gongsun?" Shang Huan looked at the six Wushan siblings with a puzzled look on his face.
The six people were startled when they heard this.
It was because he knew Gongsun Sheng's true identity that he took it for granted that it was not him.
Shang Huan didn't know Chen Mu's identity, but he guessed early on that Gongsun Sheng was the mysterious man.
"Isn't it normal that Mr. Gongsun is very powerful?" Shang Huan said as a matter of course: "If I didn't have this confidence, I wouldn't dare to do business with the Dongling barbarians."
Immediately, he looked at the six Wushan brothers and sisters with suspicion: "This is not difficult to guess, right?"
These brothers and sisters usually act so arrogant, but now it seems, well... they are not that smart!
six people:"……"
This fat guy has such an annoying look in his eyes.
You really deserve a beating!
So Wu Ruo looked at Shang Huan gently, and said with a charming voice, "Little Fatty, there is one thing I am very curious about."
"Since you know that Mr. Gongsun is powerful, why do you dare to betray him?"
"Don't quibble. I use the Tongxin Gu to share essence and gain partial synaesthesia. So, I heard what you said when you were caught just now." Wu Ruo smiled.
Shang Huan hurriedly explained: "I just wanted to bring up Elder Liang Yi to scare Zhao Shaoyuan."
"But who knew that Zhao Shaoyuan was like a psychopath. He wouldn't listen to anything and wouldn't even let me open my mouth."
"Is that the plan?" Wu Ruo suddenly realized, and then continued to smile: "But Mr. Gongsun doesn't know."
"He only heard that you seemed to be ready to reveal your backers."
"Ah……"
Shang Huan suddenly felt as if an electric current had passed through his whole body, and his hair was about to explode!
Am I a traitor?!
Done!

Chapter 359 News
Two days later.
Thirty miles southwest of Yingchou Cliff.
Groups of three or five gray-clad patrol officers were scattered throughout the dense forest, searching carefully.
After a long while, Yu Liu, the newly appointed deputy director of the Inspection Office, quickly came to a big tree.
With a flash of spiritual light around him, he leaped to the top of the tree that was six or seven stories high.
On the treetop, a middle-aged man in his forties stood quietly.
He stepped on the tip of a leaf, and no matter how the treetop swayed, it remained motionless, like a reef in the sea.
Yu Liu stood firmly on a branch as thick as a finger and clasped his fists respectfully.
"Elder Hu, the scene was severely damaged and nothing can be found."
"Vice-Court Officer Zhao and the three patrol teams are probably in danger."
Hu Changqing twirled his beard slightly and muttered to himself: "Revenge?"
He asked Zhao Shaoyuan to investigate smuggling, with the original intention of cracking down on individual investors so that he could integrate the business in the future. However, he was killed right after he started.
"Is there anyone else from the other courtyard intervening in the trade at Yingchou Cliff?"
"Are you trying to steal my business?" A cold light flashed in Hu Changqing's eyes.
This is throwing sand into his territory!
"It's time to clean up Eagle Cliff."
Just as I was thinking about the plan of exclusion and cleaning, a sturdy figure suddenly jumped up the tree trunk.
The other party had an honest and simple face. After bowing respectfully, he said in a deep voice, "Elder, the deputy mayor has made a discovery!"
As he spoke, he flipped his hands and held up a flying bird the size of a sparrow high in the air.
The bird's feathers were gray and its body was shriveled. A piece of its hind leg had been gnawed off by a small animal, revealing its white bones.
The strange thing is that the muscles attached to the bones were neither bloody nor rotten or smelly. Instead, they were a bright brown-red, like bacon!
Hu Changqing's expression changed suddenly.
He stretched out his hand and caught the bird in mid-air in front of him.
"All the blood and essence have been drained away. Is this the secret witchcraft and curse of the Dongling barbarians?!"
He couldn't help but think of the more than a dozen mysterious deaths on Yingchou Cliff.
