Chapter 53: Innate Weapon!
The last time, the Luoyun Martial Arts Hall was wiped out by the Guo family.
This time, Red Willow Villa was also wiped out by the Guo family.
As expected of one of the three major families!
Wiping out families at every turn.
"The Guo family wiped out Luoyun Martial Arts Hall for the tenth sword of the 'Cloud-Swinging Sword Art'."
"What was it for this time, wiping out Red Willow Villa?"
Chen Mu was curious.
There must have been a motive for the Guo family to go to such lengths to wipe out Red Willow Villa.
"Right!"
Suddenly, Chen Mu remembered the things sealed on the two Equipment Cards.
He immediately took them out and unsealed them one after another.
One of them was a pill recipe called "Zhuangyuan Pill."
Zhuangyuan Pill, a major pill specifically for body refining.
Hard-training martial artists eat this kind of pill the most, and its value is indeed not low.
But for Chen Mu, it was useless, and he wasn't short of money now.
This pill recipe was put into his palm space, placed in the innermost corner.
The other one unsealed was a willow leaf.
This leaf was the same size as a normal willow leaf, and its appearance was light green.
However, its texture was extremely hard, and its edges were extremely sharp.
Weapon!
"Willow Leaf Dart?"
Chen Mu thought of a type of hidden weapon.
Willow Leaf Dart!
Pinching the head of the willow leaf, he scratched it against his fine steel long sword.
Shhh~
A clear scratch appeared on the blade.
A willow leaf was actually sharper than the blade.
If the two collided at high speed, wouldn't the willow leaf shatter the fine steel long sword? Or simply pierce through it?
Such a weapon...
"Spirit Weapon?"
Chen Mu’s heart skipped a beat.
The two weapons he currently used, a large blade and a long sword, although sharp and tough, were just ordinary weapons.
Above ordinary weapons, there were stronger weapons.
Spirit Weapon!
Besides being harder and sharper, the biggest feature of a Spirit Weapon is that it can conduct true Qi.
In other words, a Spirit Weapon can only exert its true power in the hands of an Innate martial artist.
The Willow Leaf Dart in Chen Mu’s hand most likely belonged to a Spirit Weapon!
Even if there was only one.
In the hands of an Innate martial artist, its lethality is astonishing.
"Did the Guo family wipe out Red Willow Villa just for this Willow Leaf Dart?"
Chen Mu pondered.
Looking closely at the body of the Willow Leaf Dart, he suddenly found fine patterns engraved on it.
The patterns weren't very complex, but they weren't complete; half were missing.
"This Willow Leaf Dart... could it be a set?"
Chen Mu’s eyes lit up.
"A single Willow Leaf Dart, no matter how strong its lethality, has its limitations."
"But if there are many, forming a set, and then unleashed through hidden weapon martial arts, that would be a great killing weapon!"
Chen Mu thought of the "Meteor Needle" and "Swallow Striking the Long Sky" he knew, both of which could control multiple hidden weapons at the same time.
Especially "Swallow Striking the Long Sky," which could circle and dance within a thousand-meter range, its lethality could be called terrifying!
If this were paired with the Willow Leaf Dart...
"Phew!"
Taking a deep breath, he calmed his mind.
Chen Mu’s gaze fell back on the Willow Leaf Dart, his mind turning.
"If the Willow Leaf Dart is a set, then were the rest taken by the Guo family?"
……
At the same time.
Nanyun Prefecture city, inner city, Guo family mansion.
The head of the Guo family, Guo Xianliang, picked up a Willow Leaf Dart, released his true Qi, wrapped the leaf in his palm, and spun it, his eyes glowing.
"Not bad, it is indeed a Spirit Weapon, and a middle-grade one at that!"
"Haha, I told you it was a Spirit Weapon," Guo Xianli laughed loudly from the side, "In terms of lethality, this Willow Leaf Dart is top-notch among middle-grade Spirit Weapons. It’s just a pity that only four were found. It’s a set of seven, and the other three just couldn't be found."
"Four is enough."
Guo Xianliang tossed it with his hand, and the Willow Leaf Dart immediately left his hand, flying around his body, tearing the air apart and making a slight whistling sound.
"How was the cleanup at Red Willow Villa?" Guo Xianliang asked indifferently, "No hidden dangers left, right? Don't be like Luoyun Martial Arts Hall, with fish slipping through the net."
"Rest assured, not a single person from Red Willow Villa escaped."
Guo Xianli said sternly, "No one will know it was us!"
……
……
Outer city.
At home.
After playing with the Willow Leaf Dart for a while, Chen Mu put it into his palm space.
He wouldn't use this thing for now; he’d wait until he broke through to the Innate realm.
As for the Guo family wiping out Red Willow Villa...
Chen Mu also had no choice but to keep his mouth shut.
Not to mention, he had no evidence to prove that Red Willow Villa was wiped out by the Guo family.
Even if he did, he didn't have the ability to find trouble with the Guo family; it was truly unnecessary to provoke such a century-old great family for nothing.
As for reporting to the Martial Suppression Division?
Sorry, the Martial Suppression Division wouldn't accept this kind of conflict between Jianghu forces, and they wouldn't even bother to care.
The duty of the Martial Suppression Division is to suppress the entire Jianghu!
They didn't even know how many sects they had slaughtered themselves.
……
The next few days.
Chen Mu still sat in the hall, waiting for news to be sent back.
He only went out when someone died somewhere.
Or he would send the summarized information to Guan Tong.
Guan Tong was full of praise after seeing it.
Having the situation of all major and minor forces clear at a glance, and even some secret information recorded, just looking at it was comfortable.
Knowing the general situation of all forces inside and outside the city, the next layout of the Dadao Gang could be carried out in an orderly manner.
Chen Mu naturally wouldn't get involved in these.
He just needed to let Guan Tong know that the 100,000 silver taels scattered had a clear harvest.
The Dadao Gang had its own intelligence department, and Chen Mu easily looted a few cards in the process.
Everyone had a bright future!
Over the past few days, he looted two Internal Energy Cards, one Cultivation Card, three Powerful Cards, and several Energy and Stamina Cards.
And one non-special ability special skill card.
This card allowed Chen Mu to learn "Ventriloquism"!
He could imitate various sounds, insect chirps, bird calls, beast roars, eagle cries, and the voices of men, women, old, and young, all could be imitated.
This ability was very useful in special situations.
……
"Hall Master, something happened!"
In the afternoon, Chen Mu was lying on a rocking chair, squinting and dozing off, when suddenly, two gang members from the Foreign Affairs Hall ran in in a hurry.
"Hall Master, Liuzi has been detained by Han Qiao of the Green Snake Gang!"
The two gang members ran to Chen Mu and said urgently.
"Green Snake Gang, Han Qiao?"
Chen Mu opened his eyes and said calmly, "The Green Snake Gang leader, Han Qing’s cousin, right. What were you doing in the Green Snake Gang’s territory?"
"It’s like this, we found that the Green Snake Gang people seemed to be selling Xiaoyao Pills, so we followed them, wanting to find out. Liuzi went too deep, was discovered, couldn't run in time, and was detained," a gang member said in a low voice.
Chen Mu’s expression turned serious, he stood up and said in a deep voice, "Xiaoyao Pills? Are you sure?"
"Not... not very sure."
"Seven... seven percent probability, the Green Snake Gang is selling them!"
The two gang members hesitated and spoke one after another.
"Seven percent?"
Chen Mu pondered, "Then it’s basically confirmed. Let’s go, take me to see Han Qiao. Since they detained someone, they must want to extort some money from me."
"Yes!"
The two gang members hurriedly saluted and turned to lead the way.
Xiaoyao Pills, a plant extract that corrodes the human heart and will.
A poisonous substance strictly prohibited by the Great Zhou imperial court!
……
Green Snake Gang territory.
Chen Mu followed the two gang members, and when he saw Han Qiao, the latter was holding a whip, whipping Liuzi, who was hung under a tree, for fun.
Seeing Chen Mu enter the door, the corners of Han Qiao’s mouth rose, and he grinned, "Yo, isn't this the famous number one youth in Nanyun, Hall Master Chen?"
