Hong Family
"Kill the old man and the young man, but leave the girl behind!"
A cold shout was heard. Then, more than ten people rushed out from both sides of the road.
These people were all armed and wielding swords as they surrounded the three of them.
"You're quite lucky that I didn't shoot you to death." The woman in the lead had a head full of fiery red hair. Her perky butt made one's imagination run wild.
"What right do you have to kill people for no reason?"
"For no reason?"
The woman sneered and said, "What a joke. In Cloud Stream City, we, the Hong Clan, can kill whoever we want. Take the little girl away and kill these two."
The atmosphere in the field instantly became tense.
"Killing people for no reason? Your Hong Family is really domineering! "Mu Yun sneered with her hands behind her back.
"Bookworm, you talk too much. Kill him."
"Kill me? I can stand here and let you kill me, but you can't kill me! "
Merely a dozen or so martial artists at the first and second tier of the Spiritual Cave Realm dared to show off in front of him. They were simply asking for a beating.
Pa …
Mu Yun's figure flashed and slapped the woman's perky butt. She giggled and said, "Now, do you still want to kill me?"
"You …"
"Kill him for me! Kill him!"
Seeing more than a dozen people rushing over, Mu Yun shook her head slightly. After a few dodges, more than a dozen people fell to the ground and could no longer get up.
A tiny fire lotus bloomed on her fingertip. Mu Yun teased, "If I put this fire on your face …"
"No no no …"
"Why don't I take you to the woods and we can have a heart-to-heart talk?"
"You …"
"Choose one of the two. Choose!" Mu Yun teased.
"I … What do you want to ask? Speak!" The fiery-haired woman finally lowered her head and admitted defeat.
"Who are you?"
"I'm from the Hong family of the Yunxi City's City Lord's Mansion. My uncle is the patriarch!"
"Then why did you kill her?"
"Because she's a girl!"
"Get to the point!" Mu Yun said with an unfriendly gaze.
"Because recently, a five-star alchemist came to Cloud Stream City. He said that he can cure my grandfather's illness, but he needs to condense a magic treasure. He needs the blood essence of a young child to be able to guarantee success!"
"Oh?"
It required the Blood Essence of a young child. Mu Yun said once more, "According to my knowledge, Blood Essence is usually required for the cultivation of martial techniques or the refinement of magic treasures. Since when did medicinal pills require a blood sacrifice?
Even if some pills required blood stains, how could a mere 5-star apothecary possibly know about it?
Weren't the people from the Hong Family too naive?
"We know that he doesn't actually need children as blood sacrifices to refine pills. He just wants to use this name to complete the treasure he wants to refine."
Hong Lin's eyes reddened as tears rolled down her cheeks. "But my grandfather … he's dying. We have to gather five thousand children as soon as possible!"
.....
Mu Yun felt his blood run cold.
"Are you going to kill them one by one like this?" Mu Yun said hatefully.
He didn't think that he was a gentleman, but killing five thousand children just to save his grandfather was too black-hearted.
"This is not something I can decide!"
"Alright, since that's the case, bring me to the Hong family. I'll treat your grandfather and take a look at the identity of that five-star alchemist!"
"You know alchemy?"
Mu Yun was only 23 or 24 years old, but she was actually an alchemist. This surprised Hong Lin.
"What grade of pill can you refine?"
"Don't worry about that. Anyway, I'm stronger than that guy. Escort Uncle Liu and the rest well. I'll follow you into the city!"
Mu Yun pulled Hong Lin up and walked directly towards Yunxi City.
From afar, Yunxi City was like a dormant black tortoise. It was majestic, and the black city walls were more than 20 meters tall. From afar, it looked like a primordial beast.
According to Hong Lin, Yunxi City could only be considered a lower-middle class city in Zhongzhou. It was not presentable at all.
At first, Hong Lin was curious about Mu Yun's words and actions. She guessed that he didn't come from the core of Zhongzhou and was probably from other regions.
However, generally speaking, martial artists who entered the Central Province from other cities would have a surprised look on their faces when they walked on the streets.
However, this young man looked at everything with disdain. It was as if nothing caught his eye.
"Your name is …"
"Zi Mu!"
"Mr. Zi Mu, our Hong family is the number one family in Yunxi City. The entire Yunxi City belongs to the Hong family, so I hope you can be more polite when you go in later."
"If you're polite, I'll naturally be polite."
The two of them entered the Hong family together.
However, the moment they stepped into the Hong family, the entire Hong family seemed to be in a mess. It was hard to figure out what was going on.
"What's going on?"
"Miss, Old Master is dying!"
"What!"
Hearing this, Hong Lin's eyes turned red. She hurriedly pulled Mu Yun up and walked towards the backyard.
"Quickly invite Master Chan Xiang over. Quickly invite him over!"
At this moment, the entire Hong family was in a mess in the backyard.
The Hong family's patriarch, Hong Zhentian, was at the seventh level of the Spirit Cave Realm. The old patriarch, Hong Chengdu, was 120 years old and was poisoned.
Moreover, the old patriarch was an expert at the eighth level of the Spirit Cave Realm. If the old patriarch passed away, the City Lord's Mansion of Yunxi City might have to change hands!
After all, the old patriarch, Hong Chengdu, was there previously to shoulder the burden. But now, if Hong Chengdu could not hold on, the Hong family would not be able to intimidate everyone without an expert at the eighth level of the Spirit Cave Realm.
"Father, he's also an alchemist. Let him come!" Hong Lin rushed out and pulled Mu Yun.
"Him?"
Seeing that Mu Yun was young and looked like an embroidered pillow, Hong Zhentian said doubtfully, "Your grandfather's life is in danger. We can't take the risk."
"Father …"
Hong Lin was anxious.
"Master Chan Xiang is here!" At this moment, a figure walked over leisurely from the door of the backyard.
The person was dressed in an emerald green robe. He had a bulging stomach and his hands were behind his back. He looked at everyone and shouted, "What a mess. Go away!"
"Hasn't Old Master Hong always been like this?" Chan Xiang said impatiently, "Go away, go away!"
As he spoke, Chan Xiang stuffed a pitch-black pill into Hong Chengdu's mouth.
"Stop!"
At this moment, a shout was heard. Mu Yun said coldly, "You fed him a pill. Do you want him to die earlier?"
"What nonsense are you talking about!"
Looking at Mu Yun, Chan Xiang spat and said, "I'm a five-star alchemist recognized by Zhongzhou. How dare you doubt me? Are you an alchemist? How many stars? "
"No stars!"
Mu Yun snorted and said, "It's obvious that the poison in Old Master Hong's body has spread and triggered his original internal injuries. The pill you gave him can only temporarily suppress his internal injuries, but after three to five days, his internal injuries will relapse again!"
"Over time, not only the infected part, but the uninfected part will also rot because its potential has been squeezed dry!"
"You're desperately compressing his life by doing this, do you know that?"
Mu Yun said a series of words. Hong Zhentian looked at Chan Xiang and glared at him. "Are you playing with us?"
"Hmph, if you don't help me gather 5,000 children, your old master will die!" Chan Xiang said fearlessly, "Let me tell you, if your Hong family isn't willing to help me, then the Qi family is!"
The Qi family was also a big family in Yunxi City. Their status was only second to the Hong family.
"Get lost!"
Looking at Chan Xiang, Hong Zhentian wished he could slap him to death.
Cunning villain.
"Big Brother, how dare you run away? Father …"
"If you trust me, I can help you!" Mu Yun took the initiative to speak.
Seeing Mu Yun's appearance, Hong Zhentian sighed helplessly and nodded.
What Mu Yun was really interested in was not Hong Zhentian's illness, but Chan Xiang.
A five-star alchemist had come to Yunxi City to collect the blood essence of children. It was obvious that he was trying to refine some magic treasure or treasure.
There was definitely something wrong with this Chan Xiang!
After giving Hong Zhentian a pill, Mu Yun listed a few medicinal herbs and got people to prepare to start refining pills. Everything was done smoothly and with ease.
Only then did Hong Zhentian treat him seriously.
He was so young and was also an alchemist. He must be a disciple from a big family to undergo a trial.
"May I know where Mr. Zi Mu lives?"
"I'm alone and I'm devoted to the mountains and rivers. Wherever I go, that's my home!" Mu Yun said self-righteously.
"Mr. Zi Mu is really an expert …"
Hong Zhentian laughed and looked at Mu Yun with a smile on his face.
At the same time, on the other side, Chan Xiang's body was trembling as he stood at the door of a house.
"Come in!"
A hoarse voice sounded in the room.
"Master!"
"What's the matter?"
"I only collected less than five hundred of those five thousand children. Moreover, the Hong family actually invited a young boy to kick me out today. How hateful!"
"Oh? There's such a thing? "
The man in the black robe turned around for the first time, but his expression was still unclear.
"Then you can go to the Qi family. If it doesn't work, let the Qi family take action. I'll destroy Hong Zhentian. Just don't let anyone discover our tracks!"
"Master, this way …"
"What are you afraid of!"
The black-robed man said impatiently, "My baby can't wait any longer. We have to do it as soon as possible. The sooner, the better!"
"Yes!"
On the other side, Mu Yun had just walked out of the alchemy room when she saw the entire Mu family in a panic.
"What happened?"
"Mr. Zi Mu, you don't have to worry. I just have to treat my grandfather's illness!" Hong Lin's face was filled with fighting spirit as she pulled Mu Yun to the backyard.
Could it be that Chan Xiang flew into a rage out of humiliation and called a large group of people to crowd at the entrance of the Hong family's house, wanting to have a good battle?
However, Mu Yun was now thinking about Hong Zhentian. She had to treat the old master first.
He wanted to see who was behind Chan Xiang and who ordered him to do this!
Mu Yun always had an illusion that she might know this person.
Outside the Hong family's gate, Hong Zhentian stood tall and straight at the entrance of the Hong family's house.
"Qi Yuxuan, what are you doing?" Hong Zhentian looked at the pair in front of him and shouted, "The Hong family still has the final say in Yunxi City. What do you want?"
"What? I'm here to look for someone! "
