It was night, and the stars and moon were obscured by a thick layer of clouds.
Innumerable eyes were fixed tightly on Weifu's estate, fearing that Mu Qing Ge would disappear.
In the courtyard where Mu Qingge temporarily resided in Weifu's Bieyuan, she was sitting on a rocking chair with her legs raised, swaying leisurely.
In the darkness, she wore a red dress that was as seductive as blood, carrying with her a kind of dangerous and fatal temptation.
Hua Yue stood behind her, gently massaging her shoulders, a tranquility that seemed to be completely unaffected by the turmoil outside.
Young Lotus stood aside, her expression solemn, and even her warm and gentle eyebrows had a few strands of heroic spirit and sharpness.
Twenty-six people knelt on one knee before Mu Qing's body.
They were all dressed in black, with intricate silver-gray lines embroidered on their dark attire, depicting strange totems that were mysterious yet exquisite. Those were the forbidden symbols, designed by Mu Qingge herself and carefully embroidered on.
These restrictions, embroidered with special fine lines, have a similar effect to her self-created alchemy principles.
Able to increase the speed and reaction ability of the wearer, and even defensive capabilities.
This amplification is actually very subtle, but at critical moments it can play a crucial role!
A group of Dragon Tooth Guards led by Mo Yang, knelt silently in front of their most revered master. The night wind suddenly picked up, blowing through the gaps between them, sweeping up some yellowed dry leaves on the ground, and sending them flying towards Chong Yu's light song.
Just as the dry leaves were about to hit Mu Qing's nose, Yu He's eyes condensed and prepared to make a move. Mu Qing, who had been closing his eyes to enjoy the massage from Hua Yue, suddenly opened them.
Those eyes, deep and unfathomable, with a hint of coldness, suddenly opened wide. The withered leaves that were just inches away from her instantly turned to dust in everyone's sight, blown away by the night wind without leaving a single speck on Mu Qingge's body.
The withered leaves disappeared thoroughly, and in the depths of Mu Qing's eyes, a blue-purple light flashed quickly, but it was too dark to be seen clearly in the night.
Mo Yang raised his face, and his firm gaze fell on Mu Qing Ge. In a deep voice, he said: "Young Master, we have made preparations."
Her eyes slightly drooped, with a cold and detached gaze that fell on the Dragon Tooth Guards. Her voice was cold and somewhat dull, yet lazy and wild as she asked, "Are you all ready?"
"Yes, sir!"
A low and even voice echoed in Longyawei, like a wild beast lurking in the dark night.
These young and resolute faces, with a sharp coldness like a knife cut. Their eyes looking at Mu Qingge, without exception, all have an unyielding frenzy.
It seems that as long as they have Mu Qing's leadership, even if they want to destroy the world, it won't be a difficult task.
This frenzy made Mu Qing's crimson lips curve slightly upwards.
She is the kind of person who has this fearless courage!
Her jade-like hands slowly fell onto the armrests of the rocking chair, and Hua Yue retreated two steps back in a sensible manner.
Mo Qing's wrist exerted a slight force, and she stood up with the support of the armrest. Longyawei followed her movement and looked up at her.
At this moment, the night wind blew wildly, messing up Mu Qing's clothes and hair, a blood-red robe set off her exquisite face, making it even more enchanting.
In the eyes of the Dragon Tooth Guards, their lord, their master, stood like a god or demon between heaven and earth, his upright figure seemingly never to be bent.
With her fists clenched and held behind her back, Mu Qing's smile at the corner of her mouth was as dangerous as a poppy. "Since everyone is ready... then... let the game begin!"
The wind suddenly picked up.
One gust after another of wind, rolled up with withered leaves and fine dust, dancing wildly in mid-air. Dazzling people's eyes, blurring their line of sight.
"Cough cough cough, where's this damned gust of wind coming from? Got me covered in dust!"
"Shh, keep your voice down, don't scare off the prey."
There were people outside Weifu's estate who expressed their dissatisfaction with Feng. Some also secretly warned him.
It was at this time, when the night was darkest, that human energy was most depleted and people were most prone to fatigue.
Almost all the forces waiting outside have reached their exhausted peak, but fearing orders, they had to muster up the spirit to carry out their tasks.
This gust of wind mixed with fallen leaves and dust finally became the fuse that ignited their inner discontent.
"What's there to be afraid of? I've been guarding all night, and not even a ghost has appeared. Maybe they're just sleeping soundly inside, while we're standing out here like idiots."
Complaints and murmurs are faintly emerging from different forces.
"It's also true, if I were that person, I wouldn't escape tonight either. At the very least, I would observe the situation for two days before looking for a good opportunity to leave Yicheng." Someone analyzed with great experience.
Gradually, the originally strict surveillance became increasingly lax and disorganized.
Suddenly, more than twenty black shadows flew out of the Wei Mansion's detached garden and leaped into the dark night, as if by tacit agreement, escaping in different directions.
These dark shadows appeared, and people who were relaxed immediately felt a shock, rushing out from their hiding places.
In an instant, people from various major forces were all exposed before each other's eyes, without the previous cover-ups and pretenses.
People from different forces exchanged cautious and vigilant glances.
"Oh no! The fish is going to escape!"
At the moment when the dark shadow disappeared, someone broke the silence.
At last, this sentence shocked people from all sides of power.
"Go after him!" One of them shouted and hastily chased in the direction where a man in black had disappeared.
Under his lead, the rest of the forces also chose an object and chased after it. At the same time, they reported the situation back to their headquarters.
In an instant, at the gate of Weifu Bieyuan, only one force was left standing still on the spot.
This group of people is exactly Zhu Li, under Zhu Gongzi's command.
They were ordered to come here and lie in wait, just to catch Mu Qingge back for their young master to vent his anger. At this time, the other forces had been led away by the people who had rushed out of the Wei Mansion, but they did not move.
"Captain, what shall we do?" someone asked, stepping forward.
The leader sneered with a calm and composed heart: "It's just a trick to lure the tiger away from its mountain, how could I fall for it? I dare to guarantee that the person you want is still hiding in the Wei Manor."
His analysis was immediately welcomed by his flattering subordinates.
However, he did not know that in the Weifu Bieyuan, the courtyard where Mu Qingge temporarily resided was now empty and quiet, as if no one had ever lived there.
In another courtyard, the candle flames flickered, and the orange candlelight enveloped the people inside.
Wei Qi and Wei Qianqian were tied up with ropes and fixed to the chair, and the one guarding them in the room was Zhou Shu.
"Wuuu... wuuu..." Wei KuoKuo glared at Uncle Zhou, struggling and making muffled sounds with a cloth stuffed in her mouth.
Wei Qi was no better off, he just didn't struggle as futilely as Wei Juan did, instead he stared at Zhou Shu with pleading eyes.
Zhou Shu sighed inwardly and thought to himself: "Mu Gongzi said he would leave, but instead he made him the villain."
However, for the sake of the Wei family and these two young masters, this evil person can only be dealt with!
After a while of the appointed time with Mu Qingge, under the urging gaze of the two little ancestors, Zhou Shu finally pulled out the cloth ball from their mouths.
"Zhou Shu, how dare you treat us like this! Waaah, don't you care about Qiuqiu?"
"Uncle Zhou, let me go quickly!"
Wei Qianqian and Wei Qi regained their ability to speak and immediately spoke up.
Wei Qi struggled with her shoulders, but the thick rope tied to her body didn't budge. A pair of reddened and anxious eyes could only stare at Zhou Shu, pleading for help.
Wei Juanjuan also looked at Zhou Shu with tears in her eyes.
All along, Uncle Zhou had no choice but to surrender under her gaze.
But tonight, Zhou Shu was ruthless and turned a blind eye to them, only saying in a low voice: "Young Master, Young Miss, this is Mr. Mu's order, for your safety, Old Zhou can only follow it!"
Wei Qi and Wei Qianqian siblings, although a bit scatterbrained and occasionally careless, are not stupid.
Zhou Shu tied up the siblings here, naturally because of Mu Qingge's reason. Moreover, if guessed correctly, Mu Qingge has already left, and only then would Zhou Shu remove the cloth from their mouths.
"Zhou Shu, do you know what Mu Ge is going to face? We are friends, and when she needs our help the most, we don't show up. How can we still claim to be righteous in the future?" Wei Qi shouted out in struggle.
Wei Juanjuan also followed, "Uncle Zhou, now the entire city of Liancheng wants to find trouble with Murong Ge. We are the only ones who can help her, how can we ignore it? Did my old man teach us those things from childhood just for show?"
The brother and sister duo's rare tacit understanding, every word and sentence, made Uncle Zhou's face red with embarrassment, unable to parry.
Fortunately, he still remembered what Mu Qingge had said at the last moment.
They knew the consequences of getting this brother and sister involved in this mess.
So, he steeled himself and gritted his teeth to say to the Wei siblings: "Young master and young miss, Mu Gongzi's affairs are her own arrangements. If you're friends with her, you should trust what she says. She told you to wait for her in Huandu, so we'll set off for Huandu tomorrow. Whatever you do, don't disrupt her plans."
"Is it Huan Du?! Mu Ge said we should go to Huan Du and wait for her?" Wei Juanjuan asked.
"That's just Muge's nonsense! With so many forces chasing her, how can she possibly go to Huandu safely?" Wei Qi shouted.
Wei Juanjuan immediately reacted and glared at Zhou Shu, saying: "Zhou Shu, you actually believe such a thing?"
Zhou Shu sighed inwardly and said to the two young masters, "Mister Mu is so young, yet he can travel alone outside. It's clear that he has the ability to take care of himself. Since he says so, he must have his reasons. My two young masters, how long have you known him? How much do you know about what's hidden beneath his surface? Not to mention him, but even those who follow his orders by his side are not simple characters, and may be even stronger than the guards of our Wei Manor. Let's just listen to Mister Mu's words and head to Huan Du to wait."
It's no use struggling, Wei Qi and Wei Qianqian also knew that the person they wanted to protect had already left.
Having no choice, can only compromise.
However, Wei Qi disagreed with going to Huandu to meet Muguang's appointment, but instead said firmly: "We will go to Yuzhitown to meet Mugong!" He still remembered that the person who was supposed to be escorted had requested to meet in Yuzhi Town ten days later.
It's better to wait at Yuzhizhen halfway than to go all the way to Huandu and suffer.
Wei Qi's proposal immediately received support from Wei Juanjuan!
Zhou Shu had no choice, as long as these two little ancestors didn't cause trouble in Yicheng, everything was fine. After some thought, he agreed to their request.
On the other side, those twenty or so dark shadows, with countless tails, ran wildly around the city of Weiyang and then rushed out of the city.
The strongest in Quail City is no more than Blue Boundary Initial Stage.
For Longyawei who has already entered the Green Realm and the Cyan Realm, those waves of pressure sweeping from the city gate are nothing.
What's more, their clothes have the ability to increase speed?
So, when the black shadows broke through the oppressive giant net and ran towards the city gate, the big shots of various families could no longer sit still, and they led the masters of their families to chase after the black shadows.
A quiet night, thus becomes extraordinary and lively.
Various forces dispersed and eventually formed a powerful force, heading towards the city.
At this time, Zhu Li, who had also received the news, quickly called his own men and scolded the leader: "Everyone has already run out of the city, what's the use of bringing people to guard the Wei Mansion? You're really a useless stupid pig!"
He was scolded as a stupid pig by him, and he was also a good hand in the middle of Qingjing, but at this moment, he was insulted by a guy in the early stage of Huangjing, and naturally, he was not reconciled.
"But thinking of the other's background, he could only force himself to hold back. 'Young master, I'm worried that it might be a trick to lure the tiger away from its mountain.'"
Saying out the reasons for not pursuing it was originally thought to appease their own master's anger.
But unexpectedly, Zhu Li's face turned even more ferocious as he said: "Tiger leaving the mountain? Do you think only you are clever or everyone else is stupid? Did you think you were the only one who thought of 'tiger leaving the mountain'? Let me tell you, other powerful families have already been eyeing the Wei Manor's estate, and that guy with the surname Mu has already left the manor!"
At this time, the leader only knew what he had done wrong. His face changed and he immediately remedied: "Subordinates will take people to chase out!"
"Wait!" Zhu Li's face darkened as he stopped him. His eyes gleamed with a poisonous light, filled with murderous intent: "This time I'll go with you, and I want to see that little scoundrel Mu suffer a miserable fate with my own eyes. And besides, this young master's money, this young master wants it back!"
The leader did not object to Zhu Li's proposal.
In his opinion, Mu Qing Ge was just a teenager, how powerful could he be? Even if he had great talent, at most he would only be a Green Realm cultivator.
Facing the pursuit of the entire Jicheng forces, can one still escape with their life?
Even if he had someone helping him, those people wouldn't be a match for the entire Quan Cheng forces.
After estimating in his heart, he felt that Mu Qingge had no chance of turning over, and the leader led Zhu Li to leave the Zhu mansion hastily and head towards the city.
At the same time, in the Wanhualou of Qicheng, on the high tower top, Dan Chenzi stood with a ruddy face and a warm smile. He held a cup of hot tea in his hands, gazing at the night of Qicheng, with an indescribable sense of comfort.
After a while, Chu Sheng climbed to the top of the tower and stood behind Dan Chenzi.
Feeling someone approaching from behind, Dan Chenzi asked: "Has the young master left?"
Chu Sheng nodded lightly and replied, "The young master left Yucheng at dusk. However, before he left, he instructed Dan Changlao to report everything that happens in Yucheng after his departure truthfully."
"Alright, alright." Dan Chenzi waved his hand impatiently and said helplessly: "I really don't know how Mu Xiao managed to pique the young master's interest, making him pay so much attention and take a liking to him."
The corners of his mouth twitched, and he cursed in his heart: Now that Mu Gongzi is being hunted down by the entire city, it's all because of Young Master's doing. For Young Master, it's just a game, but for Mu Gongzi, it's a matter of life and death! Alas, it can be seen that one must be low-key when dealing with people, and never provoke the interest of that devilish Young Master!
……
The wind, with a few degrees of sharpness, swept past his ears.
Whoosh whoosh whoosh——
A black figure flashed quickly through the night, disappearing at an incredible speed, only to reappear again.
On a mountain top far away from the city of Weicheng, there was a black figure standing upright and slender. She stood in the night wind like a statue.
In a moment, twenty-eight black figures appeared from all directions and fell to their knees behind her.
From their appearance, they can't be told apart at all. Even the subtle differences in height and build are also obscured by the wide cloak.
The person standing there had their hood lifted by a pair of white and tender hands, revealing Mu Qing's stunningly beautiful face.
Under the black cloak, a faint red glow was visible.
"Is it done?" Mu Qing asked softly.
Among the kneeling people, the one closest to her raised his head, revealing a cold and stern face. "Report to Master Jue, subordinate has followed Master's orders and led all major forces out of the city. At this moment, they are heading towards this place."
Mo Qing Ge nodded almost imperceptibly.
She is now at the peak of the Blue Realm. Tonight, when the dark tide surged, she had already sensed that the strong in this city were only at the initial stage of the Blue Realm.
However, there were only twenty or so people around her, and except for Mo Yang who was at the beginning of the Blue Realm, everyone else was in the Green Realm.
The various major forces in Què City add up to at least several thousand people. It's really a matter of life and death, and injuries are inevitable. So, she won't choose to clash head-on.
Since they want the elixir on her body, they must be prepared to pay with their lives.
Mo Qing's eyes flashed cold as she gazed at the endless forest stretching out before her.
Going through that forest will take you to the outskirts of Yuzhi Town.
"Get ready, we're entering the forest." Mu Qing Ge issued a new command.
If it's said that she was surrounded by the forces of Què Chéng, it was his game. But from now on, the right to control the game has fallen into Mù Qīng Gē's hands. From the moment she led her people and swaggered into the forest while being pursued by the forces of Què Chéng, this game had already become hers.
The direction of the game will no longer be controlled by that person in secret, but will depend on her!
"Hurry up! They've entered the forest!" The first wave of people to arrive witnessed Mu Qingge leading the Dragon Tooth Guard into the forest.
This time, she didn't cover up again and openly showed her true face to the pursuers.
Under the hazy moonlight, that fleeting glance at her stunning looks further stimulated the pursuer's determination to capture her.
"Wait a minute!" someone suddenly spoke up just before entering the forest.
Eager to capture Mu Qingge, the people who were forced to ask about the Nine Lives Reversal Dan frowned in displeasure and looked at the person who opened their mouth to stop them.
When they found out, the person who spoke up was actually Nie Xiong from the Nie family of Qiu City, the number one expert in Qiu City and a beginner in the Blue Boundary. The discontent in the crowd could only be swallowed back down.
Nie Xiong stood proudly in front of the crowd, sneering coldly: "We have so many powerful families going after that kid, what will we do when we catch him? I don't think that kid can produce Nine Lives Reversal Dan for all of us."
"What clever plan does Elder Nie have?" someone chimed in.
Nie Xiong's eyes were full of arrogance, and he raised his chin, saying: "A mere child, what need is there for clever plans? I'm just telling you all first. No matter how many Nine-Life Reincarnation Pills are on that child's body, my Nie family wants ten."
Ten!
Everyone was shocked.
How can there be so many of such heaven-defying elixirs?
At the auction in Wanxiang Building, two have already appeared. Even if that little Mu has some on him, it's probably only a single digit. This old man of the Nie family is really ruthless, opening his mouth and asking for ten. Is he trying to buy out the entire batch?
At this moment, everyone was intimidated by Nie Xiong's dominance and was secretly worried about the ownership of the Nine Lives Reversal Dan. However, they had no idea that the Nine Lives Reversal Dan was a basic dan medicine configured for every member of the Dragon Tooth Guard. Each person would have at least ten or more, and every three months, Mu Qing Ge would generously replenish them once.
Who made her space rich in medicinal materials?
Even in Mu Qing's space, there were still over a hundred Nine-Life Revival Pills left.
Nie Xiong even if really divided into ten grains, other families will not be less.
Of course, on the premise that they can snatch the Nine Revival Dan from the Mochi Singer.
"Hmm, may I ask Elder Nie, what if the remaining Nine-Life Reversal Pills on that kid's body are less than ten?" Someone plucked up the courage to ask the question that everyone was concerned about.
"That's all mine, the Nie family's!" Nie Xiong said matter-of-factly.
Hiss!
This overbearing attitude made everyone take a deep breath of cold air. They were resentful in their hearts, but didn't dare to show it.
This expression of daring to be angry but not daring to speak was reflected in the eyes of Chu Sheng and Dan Chenzi, who had been following secretly all along. The former disdainfully said: "Nie Xiong is also too shameless, actually thick-skinned to this extent."
After finishing speaking, he glanced at Danchenzi beside him and smiled strangely: "Danchenzi, is it that the older a person gets, the higher their cultivation, the more shameless they become?"
He didn't forget that when he followed him out, this old guy shamelessly snatched an air-gathering divine symbol from him.
This token, he only has two of them, and they were bestowed upon him by the young master as a favor. The purpose is to allow him to get close without being detected and report back to the young master in real-time.
It is said that this talisman has a powerful seal inside, which can perfectly gather one's breath.
Tan Changlao could have just collected his breath by himself, but he insisted on coming to snatch the divine symbol. In Chu Sheng's eyes, this was a shameless act.
The ridicule of the initial rise did not make Dan Chenzi ashamed.
He simply shook his head and said: "Profit confuses people's minds!"
"This group of shameless old dogs, haven't even caught the person yet, and they're already dividing the spoils. I think that Mu young master isn't easy to deal with."
"Nature is not easy to deal with." A faint, gloomy light flashed in Dan Chenzi's sharp eyes. If it were an ordinary person, how could they have aroused the young master's interest?
Moreover, he was someone who had personally interacted with Mu Qingge and had been repeatedly outsmarted.
He just wanted to say that this time the young master had met his match!
Suddenly, he had an urge to chase after them and take a look at the scene of the two meeting in Yuzhizhen. It must be spectacular!
Dan Chen's eyes lit up and a smile spread across his face, which looked extremely sly to Chu Sheng.
"Nie Dachang Lao, isn't this a bit inappropriate? All the benefits go to the Nie family, what can we get out of it?" someone asked, unwilling and unafraid to die.
Nie Xiong furrowed his brow, his sharp eyes scanning the crowd.
Those who were swept by him had an urge to avoid him. But thinking of the family's interests, they could only grit their teeth and bear it.
Seemingly sensing people's discontent, the current head of the Nie family whispered a few words in Nie Xiong's ear.
Then, Nie Xiong's face, which was extremely ugly, opened his mouth: "Hmph, since the master is pleading for you, then it will be like this... If that kid has less than ten remaining elixirs, my Nie family will take one-third of them, and the rest will be yours to divide. If he has any other treasures on him, my Nie family won't take them either."
Nie family takes one-third?
Everyone began to make estimates in their minds.
Even if the little one with the surname Mu had nine elixirs left, and the Nie family took away three, there would still be six left. Although there are more than a dozen large and small forces here, six elixirs can't be divided evenly at all. But if there were other treasures to make up for it, it wouldn't be a loss.
But...
Some people keenly sensed the loopholes in his words.
Nie Xiong only said less than ten, and the Nie family took one-third. What if it's more than ten? Although this is unlikely, what if?
If Mu Na's kid has only eleven Rebirth Pills left, will the Nie family take ten of them as previously mentioned and leave one for them to share?
Nie's family has already made concessions once, if they continue to entangle in this matter, they might provoke Nie Xiong.
Helpless, everyone could only swallow their dissatisfaction and agree for the time being. They would wait until they caught Mu Qingge, then investigate the remaining elixirs she had left behind before making further plans.
Everyone finally reached an agreement and prepared to enter the forest to catch people.
At this moment, someone else walked out.
"I can give up the Dan medicine, but I want that kid Mu to return the money he extorted from me! And his people must also surrender to me!" Zhu Li stood out and shouted loudly.
Dan medicine, he already has one pill, doesn't care. Until the three billion gold coins and hundred beast cores used to buy Dan medicine are recovered, wouldn't that Dan medicine be like it was given for free?
Most importantly, he can heavily punish the guy who dares to deceive him!
Zhu Li's status among this group of people may not be anything, but what can you do when his sister is highly favored in the imperial family of Lu Guo? Even someone as arrogant as Nie Xiong wouldn't dare to easily offend the imperial family.
So after Zhu Li's words, he just glanced at him lightly and did not object.
He has no objection, what else can others say?
A dense crowd of over a thousand people finally reached an agreement and rushed into the forest...
This group of people discussed outside the forest for half a day. Mu Qingge brought Longyawei and two young maids, Yuhe, who were waiting impatiently in the forest.
This forest is their hunting ground.
After entering the forest, they went deeper and set up many ingenious traps.
These things were all personally taught by the transcendent singer Mu Qing. I still remember that when Longyawei first saw him, he had a "surprised as if seeing a celestial being" look in his eyes.
The forest is very large and traps can be set in many places.
After a rough estimate of time, Longyawei had quietly lurked in secret, waiting for an opportunity to strike.
The moon wanes, the sun rises.
It was at this time, just when day and night were alternating, that the forest was dimly lit, with dense tree shadows.
As soon as they entered the forest, everyone felt that the eerie branches were like ferocious monsters pouncing on them.
The entire forest was quiet, with only the sound of insects chirping in the grass, and no sign of human presence. It was as if Mu Qingge and others who had entered the forest a step earlier had suddenly vanished.
"This place is somewhat eerie." someone said cautiously.
Nie Xiong countered with disdain: "This forest is not your first time entering, what's so strange about it? It's just a group of rodents taking advantage of the night to pretend to be mysterious."
"Right! Elder Nie said it well. They must be hiding, wanting to wait for us to leave before sneaking away." Someone flattered.
Nie Xiong said: "We'll split up and search slowly and thoroughly. Even if we have to turn the forest upside down, we must find those rats!"
"The forest is connected to Yuzhi Town at the end. Should we send some troops from the main road to Yuzhi Town and guard the exit of the forest, just in case?" someone suggested.
It takes eight or nine days to pass through the forest, from the main road to Yu Zhi Town, and reach the exit of the forest, which is only five or six days at most. If they split up and rush over now, they will definitely be able to block Mu Qing's exit and trap him in the forest.
Many people nodded in agreement, thinking this proposal was good.
It's better to be safe than sorry!
But Nie Xiong said domineeringly: "No need! Do you think that little guy still has a chance to get out of the forest? Why bother!"
He was full of confidence, and others did not dare to touch his beard.
Zhu Li also agreed at this time: "Ben Gongzi also thinks that the little ones with the surname Mu can't get out of the forest. They have just entered the forest, and we are so many people, familiar with the terrain, can't we catch up with a few outsiders?"
In this city of Jiangdu, the strongest and most influential people have all said so, what can others say?
Helpless, they could only follow Nie Xiong's previous words, with each force splitting up and heading in different directions, carpet-searching deep into the forest.
The dragon-toothed guard lurked in the night, waiting for prey to come to him.
Mu Qing Ge was at the entrance of the forest, casually selecting a sturdy ancient tree, lying on the canopy, coldly listening to the conversation of a group of people under the tree.
At the same time, she also found Danchenzi and Chusheng who were hanging far behind.
A sly smile crept up from the corner of her mouth, and her clear eyes were full of playful intentions.
She doesn't care about anyone else, they're just pawns in someone's game. The only one she has her eyes on is Zhu Li, this guy won't leave her alone, if she doesn't teach him a lesson, it would be a waste of his infatuation.
Thousands of people gradually disappeared from her eyes.
At this time, Dan Chenzi and Chu Sheng also arrived at the foot of the big tree where Mu Qingge was.
Her clear and serene gaze fell on the two of them, but the latter seemed to be completely unaware.
"Tan Changlao, who are we following now?" Chu Sheng asked with a bitter face.
Thousands of people are acting separately, how can he follow and monitor? How can he report to the young master?
"Alas, I didn't expect that Mu Xiao You would be so cunning and lead us all into this forest. Young Master wants to watch a good show, but it seems he'll be disappointed. There are only two of us, how can we possibly grasp the entire situation?"
"What to do? Just go back like this? Won't we be tortured to death by the young master?" Chu Sheng said with a terrified expression. He had seen those who were punished by the young master for not doing things well, although they wouldn't die, but there were all sorts of tricks and punishments.
For example, some people were forced to wear a spittoon on their heads while eating, sleeping and using the toilet.
For example, some people were punished to sleep on a nail bed. Even more, some people were punished to dress up as women and stand at the entrance of Wanyang Building branch to attract customers.
Just thinking about those bloody precedents, Chu Sheng's heart was filled with a hundred refusals!
"What else can we do if we don't go back?" Dan Chenzi also looked like a broken pot.
Racking one's brains in deep thought.
In an instant, he said to Dan Chenzi: "Why don't we each go with a team, how about that?"
"Follow?" Dan Chenzi looked at him sideways.
"It's the Nie and Zhu families! I think they're the ones who are making the most fuss."
"Alright! Let's just focus on these two families. I'll take care of the Nie family, you take care of the Zhu family. Remember, no matter what you see, keep yourself hidden and don't expose us, especially not our Young Master or Wanxiang Tower. This is something our Young Master is most averse to."
He nodded slightly.
He wouldn't have forgotten this even if Dan Chenzi hadn't reminded him.
They are fond of teasing and playing, but they prefer to withdraw and watch the show. If they get involved, even if they think with their buttocks, they can imagine their own miserable outcome.
The two of them finished speaking and immediately went their separate ways.
Mu Qing's eyes narrowed slightly as she lay on the treetop, muttering to herself: "Young Master?"
She seems to have found the culprit behind the scenes!
Don't you dislike being dragged into the game that you designed with your own hands? That's not something you can decide! Mu Qing's eyes shone with a dangerous light.
The object of that locked gaze was none other than the young master of Wanxiang Tower!
"Achoo!"
In a carriage heading towards Yuzhi Town, a sudden sneeze rang out.
The groom who was riding outside the carriage immediately came to the window and bowed his head to ask: "Young master, is anything wrong?"
"Hmm, I wonder which little girl is thinking of me." A pleasant and extremely lazy male voice came out, the sound was like an insect crawling into one's ear, making one feel ticklish and unbearable.
……
Thousands of people are carefully searching in the forest connecting Yucheng and Yuzhitown.
As they went deeper, the various forces also gradually separated, and their figures were blocked by the dense tree shadows.
Suddenly, a searching person felt his foot caught and his entire body weightlessly plunged forward. Just as he was about to cry out, a sharp tree branch pierced through his neck with pinpoint accuracy.
Before he could even let out a groan, the man was thoroughly dead.
It wasn't until his companion came searching for him that they discovered he had died. The cause of death seemed to be nothing more than a small, insignificant vine in the forest that tripped him up and, by chance, a sharp branch sticking out of the mud pierced his throat.
Everything seems like just an accident.
However, similar accidents have been quietly infiltrating into this crowd of thousands.
It wasn't until daybreak, when the thousand-strong army of Qu City was resting, that they noticed nearly a hundred people had died without anyone realizing it.
This result shocked everyone!
This forest was once familiar to them, when did it become so dangerous?
The most frightening thing is that the people they are pursuing have vanished into thin air, but their own men have suffered significant losses.
The leaders of various forces all had gloomy faces.
They sent out people to contact the surrounding forces, and soon, the scattered thousand-strong force regrouped together.
When they met again, everyone found that Nie Xiong's face didn't look too good either.
Only after asking around did he find out that during this period, the Nie family had also lost three younger generations at the Yellow Boundary.
No wonder, Nie Xiong's face looked as if he had eaten shit.
Everyone was silent and dared not to touch this sore spot.
Only Zhu Li, he was quite lucky, the people he brought out were not injured. At this moment, seeing that everyone had a gloomy face, his cold eyes gleamed with a hint of chill: "Isn't everyone afraid of a young fool? It's just a few unexpected things."
"Hum! Unexpected? A few people might be unexpected, but this is nearly a hundred people!" someone said discontentedly.
"What's the big deal about nearly a hundred people? It's dark at night, and you can't see the road under your feet - that's normal. Are you all thinking of retreating with your tails between your legs? Hmph, what a bunch of cowards! You're all scared off by a forest, but I think it's that little brat Miao who's responsible for the deaths of nearly a hundred people! If he hadn't escaped into this forest, would your people have died?" Zhu Li said matter-of-factly.
It seemed that everything was triggered by Mu Qing's song, but no one had thought that if they hadn't been greedy for the Nine Lives Reversal Dan in Mu Qing's hands, would they have fallen into the trap?
Provoked by Zhu Li, someone said with anger and hatred in their eyes: "Right! It's all because of that little brat surnamed Mu! Now that it's daylight, I'll see where he can hide! When we find him, we must flay him alive and extract his bones to vent the hatred in my heart!"
This excited look, it seems that among nearly a hundred dead people, there is someone with whom he has an unusual relationship.
"Alright! Now it's daylight. That little Mu can't hide anymore. Let's set off immediately and catch him. When the time comes, whether to cut his waist or peel his skin with oil, it's up to everyone!" Nie Xiong let out a low roar, his words full of murderous intent.
Danchenzi and Chusheng secretly hide in the dark, because this group of people will meet again and walk together once more.
Upon hearing Nie Xiong's words, Chu Sheng sneered: "It was just an accident, yet you want to put it on Mu Gongzi's head. This group of people is truly shameless!"
"Unexpected?" Dan Chenzi sneered. His eyes narrowed slightly, and he thought to himself: I'm afraid the truth won't be that simple. If those people's deaths are related to Mu Xiaoyou, then he is definitely not a simple person. This time, the young master will probably kick a rock and get into trouble! No way! Must notify the young master immediately!
