That night, Chu Yao stayed by Chu Feng's mourning hall, crying non-stop.
Wang Ying, Luo Kai, and the other disciples had already prepared the coffin for the burial.
…
Chu Yao's eyes were red and swollen. Lin Muyu's heart ached at the sight, but she didn't know how to comfort her. It seemed that Chu Yao didn't need consolation. When the first ray of sunlight shone into the mourning hall, Chu Yao pulled out the dagger at her waist and bit a lock of hair. The dagger flashed, and a strand of hair fell to the ground.
"Sister Chu Yao, what are you doing?" Lin Muyu asked in astonishment.
Chu Yao didn't speak. Tears rolled down her face as she looked at Lin Muyu. She didn't stop. She cut off strand after strand of hair until only a short hair was left. She looked at her tearfully and said, "Yu, grandpa is gone. I finally know how to be strong."
Lin Muyu was stunned.
…
For an entire morning, Chu Feng was buried at the edge of the Seven Stars Forest. A living person had passed away just like that.
In the afternoon, after sending Chu Yao back to the Spirit Medicine Division, Lin Muyu immediately went to the Hundred Battles Trading Firm to look for Lei Baizhan.
Lei Baizhan didn't know about Chu Feng's death. He was excited when he saw Lin Muyu. He laughed and said, "Young hero Lin, you'd never know that two bottles of Dream of Extreme Peaks were sold for 4400 and 4700 Jin Yin coins respectively. This is such a profit! Come, come, come, follow me to the back hall to settle the bill! "
"Boss Lei."
Lin Muyu's voice was calm. "I want to ask for someone."
"Oh? Who is it? "
"Who's the most well-informed person in Silver Fir City?"
"This …" Lei Baizhan pondered for a moment. "The most well-informed and quick-witted person … hmm, it should be that brat Situ Hao. Oh right, what do you need someone like that for?"
"I'll just find him."
"En, okay!" For Lei Baizhan, Lin Muyu was a cash cow. Naturally, he would grant her every request.
Not long after, a young man around 20 years old appeared in the back hall. It was the Si Tu Hao that Lei Baizhan had mentioned. He had a smile on his face, "Young Hero Lin, what business do you have with me?"
"Just follow me."
"Alright!"
After leaving the Hundred War Merchant Guild, Lin Muyu turned around and gave him 20 Gold Yin Coins. She asked: "You should be very familiar with Ning Daorong, right?"
"General Ning!" Situ Hao laughed, "Of course we are. Other than the city lord, General Ning is the person with the most military power in Silver Fir City. He has two thousand imperial soldiers under his command!"
"What are Ning Daorong's usual habits?"
"It's just a habit. As a general, it's nothing more than drinking … visiting brothels and so on. By the way, General Ning has a lover in the Spring Pavilion in the western part of the city. Her name is Ruan Ruyu, and she is one of the top courtesans in the city. Generally, when there is nothing to do, General Ning will go to Ruan Ruyu's boudoir for the night."
"Where is Ruan Ruyu's boudoir?"
"On the top floor of the Spring Pavilion. There is only one room, and that is Ruan Ruyu's boudoir."
"Mn."
Lin Muyu patted his shoulder and said: "Situ Hao, thank you. Here is the other 30 Gold Yin Coins. Perhaps I will continue to ask you to work for me. Don't worry, as long as you follow me, I won't let you suffer any losses."
Situ Hao's eyes lit up at the sight of money and nodded repeatedly, "Yes, yes, yes. Don't worry, Young Hero Lin. Don't worry about me!"
"Alright, then find a few experts to protect Chu Yao of the Spirit Medicine Division. Is that alright?"
"Mercenaries are fine. I can find two who are at the first level of Earth Realm above Level 30. The commission will be 20 Gold Yin Coins per day. Is that alright?"
"Sure. Find a few more and have them guard the courtyard from afar. They just need to make sure no one hurts Chu Yao."
"Yes!"
…..
It was late at night in the Spring Pavilion. The lights gradually dimmed, and the sounds of sex could be heard from the rooms. While they were enjoying themselves, a figure flew past the attic and landed lightly on the top floor of the Spring Pavilion like a falling leaf. Lin Muyu hugged his steel sword and closed his eyes. He could vaguely hear Ruan Ruyu's moans and Ning Daorong's heavy panting in the room.
How could a person who had just been injured by an arrow have the energy to stay here for even a moment?
In an instant, Lin Muyu's thoughts were confirmed once again. He leaped up lightly, climbed through the window, and silently landed on the floor. His footsteps were very light. This was the mystery of Falling Star Steps.
He looked into the distance and saw four soldiers standing guard outside the door. The starlight shone on their figures outside the window, and Ning Daorong was lying on the woman's body, enjoying himself to the fullest. Ruan Ruyu panted and moaned in pleasure. By the side, Ning Daorong's three-edged spear was there. As a martial artist, his weapon never left his side.
Lin Muyu walked over slowly and drew his sword. The sound of the steel sword rubbing against the scabbard was very soft, but Ning Daorong still heard it. He quickly turned around and growled, "Who is it?"
"It's me," Lin Muyu said faintly.
Amidst Ruan Ruyu's screams, Lin Muyu leaped up and slashed out with her sword. The speed of the Falling Star Steps and Thunderclap Slash was simply too fast. Ning Daorong didn't even have time to circulate his energy to defend before he was struck. His right arm was severed from the middle and fresh blood splattered everywhere. His white bones were clearly visible, but he was still a man. He only growled, "Lin Muyu, are you crazy? Why did you sneak attack this general?!"
Lin Muyu said indifferently, "My master Chu Feng was pierced through the heart by this spear of yours, wasn't he? Unfortunately, you didn't destroy the wound. Instead, you disguised a few arrows in front of your chest. Who would've thought that the other corpses had dried up for almost a day, but your arrows were still there? Speaking of which, you're really an arrogant idiot! Moreover, look down at your chest. Where did the wound come from? Bastard, you killed my grandpa Chu Feng. Do you think you can get away with this? Today, I'll make you pay with your blood! "
Ning Daorong roared, "This general is the general of Silver Fir City. You dare kill me? Men, kill this assassin for me! "
Outside the room, several personal guards rammed open the door.
But Lin Muyu was even faster. She opened her left hand and unleashed her Green Gourd Martial Soul. Gourd vines pierced through the floor and wrapped around the four guards. At the same time, her Demonic Noise Saber whistled through the air and pierced through the gourd vines. The four guards were all killed without exception.
Ning Daorong turned pale with fright. These guards were all at the second level of the human realm, but this brat had killed them all in an instant. Just how terrifying was his cultivation?
But Ning Daorong was, after all, a level 44 Battle Sovereign. He stood up and grabbed the spear with his bare left hand. With a roar, his martial spirit emerged from his body in the form of a fierce tiger. It looked quite fierce. Flames ignited on the spear as he launched an all-out attack with a low roar. The spear swallowed over like a fiery serpent.
Lin Muyu appeared even calmer. With a single thought, the green gourd spirit condensed in front of her chest. Immediately after, a layer of fiery-red Black Tortoise Shell appeared as a defense. With a bang, she forced Ning Daorong back. Although she felt intense pain from the recoil, Lin Muyu had already sensed that Ning Daorong's strength had decreased sharply after losing an arm. He was no longer her match.
She suddenly activated the Fallen Star Steps and appeared on Ning Daorong's left side. She raised her sword with both hands and the wind and lightning fluctuated. Another Lightning Strike slashed through Ning Daorong's condensed qi shield. The blade landed on his left arm and even cut off a large piece of flesh, causing him to howl in pain. Lin Muyu let out a low roar and punched out with her left fist. She had used all her strength!
"Bang!"
The Demonic Sound Fist struck through the air. Ning Daorong let out a muffled groan as his internal organs were all shattered. He died on the spot.
Ruan Ruyu looked at Ning Daorong's corpse and shook her head repeatedly. She said to Lin Muyu: "Don't kill me, don't kill me. I don't know anything. You can't kill me …"
Lin Muyu frowned and said: "If I don't kill you, you will definitely betray me. Come, drink this."
"What is it?"
Without waiting for Ruan Ruyu to say anything, Lin Muyu directly forced her to drink a bottle of Dream Return to Extreme Peak. This would make her sleep for at least three days. It could be considered sparing her life.
… …
She grabbed Ning Daorong's three-pointed spear and leapt off the roof of the Spring Pavilion, heading straight for the City Lord's Mansion.
When she entered the mansion at daybreak, there were indeed a few mercenaries guarding the door. It seemed that the Jinyin coins were quite useful. Lin Muyu hurriedly rushed into the courtyard and pushed open the door to Chu Yao's room. She found that her eyes were red and she still hadn't slept. Her mind was already extremely weak. She said softly: "Yu, why are you …"
"Let's go!"
Lin Muyu grabbed her hand and led her out the door.
"Where are we going?"
"Hundred Spirits Medicine Hall!"
"What for?"
"Call the brothers out of the city. This place is no longer suitable for them to live in."
"Why?"
"Grandfather was killed by Ning Daorong."
"What?!" Chu Yao was instantly shocked: "How … how is that possible? Ning Daorong is the city's general, why would he kill grandfather? Why … why would he do that?"
Lin Muyu said calmly: "Because the City Lord, Hua Tian, wanted the God of Medicine Codex, so he killed grandfather. Ning Daorong was seriously injured last night, but there was no wound on his chest. Grandfather's fatal wound was in the shape of a three-pointed spear. It was this spear in my hand that killed grandfather, and this three-pointed spear was Ning Daorong's weapon."
Chu Yao was also a smart girl, she instantly understood everything. She clenched her teeth and said: "I want to kill Ning Daorong!"
"I've already killed him, let's go."
… …
When they arrived at the Hundred Spirits Medicine Hall, they found that it was in chaos. The place was on fire!
Lin Muyu rushed into the sea of fire with the Green Gourd Martial Spirit, only to find that the ground was covered with corpses. Wang Ying, Zhao Xin, Luo Kai, and the others were all lying in a pool of blood. This place had been bathed in blood!
Feeling a sharp pain in her heart, Lin Muyu suddenly punched the wall, blaming herself. Why didn't she think that Hua Tian would attack the Hundred Spirits Medicine Hall? The reason why he asked Xiangxiang to find out where the God of Medicine Codex was meant that they couldn't find the God of Medicine Codex on Chu Feng, so they would definitely look for it in the Hundred Spirits Medicine Hall.
"Eldest Brother Wang Ying …"
"Junior Brother Luo Kai …"
Looking at the corpses on the ground, Chu Yao tears rolled down her cheeks again.
… …
However, at this moment, the sound of hooves came from outside, and someone was shouting: "Lin Muyu killed General Ning, she is now a fugitive of the empire, don't let her get lost, Lin Muyu and Chu Yao, don't let any of them go!"
