Chapter 36

Child traffickers, a group of beasts specializing in kidnapping and selling children!

No, they were worse than beasts!

Whoosh~

Chen Mu's figure flickered, and he flew into the alley. After turning a corner, he saw the man holding the girl taking out a sack, preparing to put her inside.

"Put her down!"

Chen Mu shouted in a low voice, deployed his Spirit Snake Steps, and shot over at the fastest speed.

The moment the shout reached the man's ears, he rushed in front of him.

Bang~

He struck out with a palm.

Ten percent of his strength!

Hearing the shout, the man who had just raised his head felt a pain in his chest, flew off the ground, flew backward, and with a bang, slammed hard into the wall, creating a crater with cracks all around the edges.

The man widened his eyes, blood spilled from the corners of his mouth, his limp body slowly slid down, and his sunken chest stopped rising and falling.

Killed with one palm!

[Corpse discovered, do you wish to loot?]

"Yes!"

He got the card.

Chen Mu withdrew his gaze, squatted down, picked up the sleeping girl, and turned to leave.

He felt nothing from killing a trafficker.

However, encountering a trafficker gave Chen Mu an idea.

The group of child traffickers deserved to die.

This group was different from gangs; they had no clear territory, and children in the entire outer city, and even the inner city, were their targets.

As long as they were alone, they dared to kidnap them in broad daylight.

Killing them required no psychological burden!

Carrying the girl back slowly, Chen Mu pondered.

Suddenly, his footsteps paused, and while putting the girl down, he said, "You're awake, so don't pretend to be asleep."

"..."

The girl, who had been closing her eyes, opened them and giggled, "Hehe, how did you know I was awake?"

"By the way, my name is Long Tutu. What's your name?"

"Chen Mu."

He patted the girl's head, and Chen Mu said softly, "Long Tutu, did you get separated from your parents? Or..."

"I came out to play by myself."

Long Tutu looked up and said crisply, "Old Chen, don't look at me as small; actually, I'm very powerful. Just now that guy drugged me, I was only dazed for a moment, and then I deliberately pretended to be asleep just to see where he was going to take me. Once we arrived, I would have killed him immediately!"

Uh~

Was this something a five or six-year-old child would say?

Chen Mu examined Long Tutu and found that the clothes the child was wearing, although looking ordinary on the outside, were indeed of a different texture—very fine.

Those who could wear such clothes must have a good family background.

"Very powerful? How powerful?" Chen Mu asked while walking.

"Bang!"

Long Tutu kicked the wall, making a sound, and a petite footprint was immediately imprinted.

Chen Mu, "..."

The little one had some skills!

This footprint could not have been left without the strength of the third level of the Acquired Realm.

No wonder she dared to run out alone and walk everywhere.

"Not bad."

Chen Mu nodded. "But it's still too dangerous for one person. Where do you live? I'll take you back."

"Thanks, Old Chen!"

Long Tutu raised her hand and said lazily, "It's not dark yet, it's too early to go back. Old Chen, where are you going? Is there anything fun? I'll go with you!"

"I'm going to watch people get beheaded."

Chen Mu smiled. "Don't you dislike watching people get their heads chopped off?"

"It's not very interesting."

Long Tutu imitated Chen Mu, putting her hands behind her back, looking up while walking, and said, "However, when there's nothing fun, going to see it is fine. By the way, Old Chen, do you really like watching people get their heads chopped off?"

"No, I'm just joining the fun... By the way, do you call everyone else like this? Old Li, Old Wang, Old Zhou?" Chen Mu couldn't help but turn his head to look at Long Tutu.

This little one, although small, was very bold; not only was she not timid, but she was also a bit familiar. Her tone of voice was completely like an adult's.

"That's not it."

Long Tutu shook her head. "Only my friends call me that; if they aren't friends, I just call them whatever."

"..."

Chen Mu was speechless.

Confirmed, she was a precocious child!

He wondered which big family in the inner city she came from?

The surname Long was not common.

The two talked while walking, returned to the street, and rushed to the vegetable market.

When they arrived, a dharma altar had already been built at the vegetable market, guarded by government soldiers in the middle, while circles of onlookers gathered around the periphery.

Chen Mu stood in a corner on the periphery, and Long Tutu sat on his shoulder.

"Old Chen, do you think anyone will rob the dharma altar later?"

Long Tutu's arms were not holding Chen Mu's head; she was just sitting simply, yet as steady as Mount Tai.

"...Really?"

Chen Mu was stunned when he heard this, then remembered something and asked, "Do these prisoners have some background? Do you know their origins?"

"They are all people from the Swallow Sect."

Long Tutu said softly, "The Swallow Sect is a sect in the neighboring Huaiyang Prefecture. They were fine originally, but I don't know what madness they caught, robbing and killing a judge who came to take office. Since they killed an official, they were naturally rebels and were investigated and captured by the Martial Suppression Division."

"But there are many people in the Swallow Sect, and those being beheaded today are only a small part. The difference is that the leader of the Swallow Sect is also among them."

"...Swallow Sect Leader?" Chen Mu's eyes shifted, and he said in a low voice, "The leader is to be beheaded; is it possible that those who escaped will come out to rob the dharma altar?"

"It's just possible." Long Tutu smiled. "I'm not sure if they will come out either."

"Even so, your information is still very well-informed." Chen Mu chuckled.

"It's okay." Long Tutu was not humble and nodded in agreement.

Chen Mu was speechless.

The little one talked a lot, but she didn't reveal any key identity information.

Of course, Chen Mu didn't tell her his identity either.

At the same time.

Two hundred meters away from the vegetable market, on the balcony of the third floor of a building.

"Old Zhao, it's confirmed; the leader is also being beheaded today."

A young man dressed in black from head to toe came to the edge of the balcony, cupped his hands, and said in a low voice.

"Have you checked around the dharma altar?" Zhao Baokun asked calmly.

"Just checked; no ambush by the Martial Suppression Division has been found yet," the young man replied respectfully.

"Keep it up."

Zhao Baokun said in a low voice, "Before the leader and the others come out, don't relax your vigilance."

"Yes!"

The young man responded, then cupped his hands and turned to leave.

"Wait!"

Zhao Baokun's eyes suddenly lit up, and across a straight-line distance of more than two hundred meters, his gaze fell on Chen Mu and Long Tutu.

"Go and grab that little girl!"

Zhao Baokun reached out and pointed from afar at Long Tutu on Chen Mu's shoulder.

The young man who had turned around heard this, looked up, and actually saw Chen Mu and Long Tutu as well.

"A little girl sitting on a teenager's shoulder?" the young man asked.

"That's her."

Zhao Baokun's mouth lifted, his eyes full of smiles. "I never imagined, I truly never imagined, that I would actually run into this little one. Grab her, and the leader and the others will be saved!"

"Yes!"

The young man heard this, and while his eyes lit up, joy appeared on his face. "I'll go grab her right now..."

"Wait!"
