Chapter 50: A Shocking Discovery!

Forces named after sects are never small.

Chen Mu knew most of the major sects, gangs, and families in Nanyun Prefecture.

At least he had heard of them.

Only this "Longevity Sect" left him with no impression at all.

"An outside force?"

Chen Mu pondered.

Although Nanyun Prefecture is a small place, it’s plausible for some outside forces to plant a few people here.

The problem is that the three words "Longevity Sect" gave Chen Mu an inexplicable feeling.

He couldn't put his finger on it, just a vague sense of repulsion.

A martial artist’s sixth sense?

This aspect is indeed somewhat mysterious.

But since he hadn't heard of the "Longevity Sect" and didn't know if it was good or bad, it wasn't easy to ask around.

"Right!"

Suddenly, Chen Mu remembered the memory card he had picked up earlier.

A minor leader, Ji Gang, had hidden three thousand silver taels and a secret manual, "Shattering Gold Palm."

In his memory, if one wanted to gather information, one could go to the "Hero Tower" in the inner city!

This "Hero Tower" was very remarkable in Ji Gang’s mind, and it was a major force in its own right.

The Nanyun Prefecture inner city branch was just one location, yet it was full of guests every day.

That place had the most well-informed news.

Thinking of this, Chen Mu collected his thoughts and walked along the street, passing the shop where that conversation had come from.

A clothing store.

There were a few customers inside buying clothes, and the shop assistant and manager were both busy.

However, that conversation had come from the basement in the back courtyard of the shop!

The basement had a ventilation duct.

The wind in the city was quite strong today, blowing through all the streets and alleys.

Wind listening, wind listening!

This clothing store was less than a hundred meters in a straight line from Cheng Dongfeng’s residence.

Chen Mu had walked out of Cheng Dongfeng’s residence, monitored Guo Jinquan, and happened to hear it perfectly.

Chen Mu wouldn't alert the enemy until he was sure what kind of force the "Longevity Sect" was.

After walking down the long street, he headed straight for the inner city.

Compared to the outer city, the inner city had wider streets, better hygiene, and the pedestrians on the street had more vitality.

People living in the inner city could at least afford to eat their fill.

While more than half of the people in the outer city couldn't.

After walking for a while along the spacious main street, Chen Mu stopped in front of a luxurious restaurant.

Hero Tower!

A six-story building, towering over the surrounding two- and three-story houses.

The three main doors were all wide open.

The first and second floors were bustling with noise.

Just standing at the entrance, Chen Mu could feel the waves of Qi and blood fluctuations coming from inside.

The people in Hero Tower were actually all martial artists!

'A major force, this is a real major force...'

Taking a deep breath, Chen Mu suppressed his aura and walked through the door.

A moment later.

Chen Mu went up to the third floor and spent five hundred silver taels to buy a thick stack of information.

A huge stack of information recording the basic details of all the famous forces in the entire Great Zhou world!

Holding this stack of information, Chen Mu returned to the first floor, found a corner seat, and quickly flipped through it.

The Great Zhou world had nineteen provinces in total, each province governed several prefectures, each prefecture governed several counties.

Nanyun Prefecture, looking at the whole world, was just a small place.

Among the forces within the prefecture, besides the three major families, there were five others that were slightly famous; the rest were not worth mentioning.

Even so, the three major families were small forces in the Hannan Province.

Only forces that had been passed down for hundreds, or even thousands of years, could be world-renowned major forces.

For example, the Six Great Sword Sects, the Seven Great Martial Sects, and the Eight Great Families were all top-tier major forces with thousands of years of heritage.

The Longevity Sect belonged to one of them, ranked as one of the Five Great Demonic Sects.

Its heritage spanned over eight thousand years!

This was a massive sect with a long history.

Over thousands of years, the Longevity Sect had been wiped out over a hundred times, but every few decades, it would rise from the ashes.

The reason was that the Longevity Sect’s cultivation method was extremely evil.

It could make people live forever!

Even ordinary people, after practicing the method, could live for two or three hundred years.

The price was that the side effects of the method were not small; the deeper one practiced, the harder it was to maintain a normal human form.

Because the core of the Longevity Sect’s method was: eating!

Animals, plants, dead things, and people!

All were on the menu.

Especially people, the spirits of all things; the heart, liver, spleen, brain, and flesh were the main ingredients on the Longevity Sect’s menu!

That’s right, the Longevity Sect was not only a demonic sect but also an evil sect.

These people, for the sake of longevity, had lost their humanity and were worse than beasts.

For thousands of years, the Longevity Sect had not only been hunted by righteous people, but even the other four great demonic sects would kill them on sight.

The first trial of the Longevity Sect’s entry examination was to eat human flesh!

In the conversation Chen Mu heard in the basement of the clothing store, someone clearly stated they had already passed the first trial.

Which meant those people had all eaten human flesh!

"Beasts worse than beasts..."

Chen Mu’s hands were shaking slightly.

There were actually people from the "Longevity Sect" hiding in Nanyun Prefecture city!

There were only a few in the clothing store basement, but who knew if there were others elsewhere?

The disciples of this "Longevity Sect" were all worse than beasts.

They were hiding with unknown motives, and it seemed to have nothing to do with Chen Mu.

But who knew if they would suddenly go to Changping Ward or Changlong Ward and attack just because they found Chen Mu tasty?

Or target his sister-in-law, Miao Xiuxiu?

Miao Xiuxiu was already pregnant, and whether the baby was born or unborn, in the eyes of these cannibalistic evil sect members, it was all prime ingredients!

"No, I must take these people out!"

Chen Mu clenched his fists.

The "Longevity Sect" was universally hated, but how to strike required careful planning.

Once a strike failed and they escaped, he would just have to wait for retaliation.

The consequences might be that he wouldn't even have a complete corpse left!

"Go to the Martial Suppression Division!"

Almost instantly, Chen Mu made his decision.

Relying on himself alone, he couldn't deal with the Longevity Sect disciples.

Who knew if there were any Innate realm experts hidden in that clothing store basement?

Thinking of this, Chen Mu packed up the information, settled the bill, and walked quickly out of Hero Tower.

Walking quickly on the street, he suddenly thought of a problem.

"Reporting the 'Longevity Sect' is fine, but how do I explain how I know those people are hiding in the clothing store basement?"

Exposing the "Wind Listening" skill was not a good thing.

Thinking of this, Chen Mu looked around, ducked into a small alley to avoid others' sight, and took out his human-skin mask to wear.

Then, he returned to the street, entered a calligraphy and painting shop, and bought a sheet of white paper, ink, and a brush.

Returning to the alley, he spread the white paper on a stone and wrote down the content.

After writing, he found another stone, a tree branch, and a piece of cloth to wrap it all up.

Then he headed toward the Martial Suppression Division’s inner city headquarters.

Slowly approaching the towering gate, he tied the package to the branch, and when he reached the gate of the Martial Suppression Division, he suddenly gathered his strength and threw the branch with a clever flick of force, aiming for the open gate...
