Chapter 56: Kill Chen Mu, and It

"Kill Chen Mu?"

Guo Jinian turned his head to look at Guo Jinquan, who was speaking, a flash of contempt in his eyes, and asked, "How? Chen Mu has an Innate realm 'Master' standing behind him!"

"Although it’s impossible to determine whether this Innate 'Master' actually exists, when it comes to the Innate realm, you can't make a move without absolute certainty!"

In Guo Jinian’s view, Guo Jinquan was just jealous!

That slogan "Number One Youth in Nanyun" for Chen Mu, although it was confirmed he didn't shout it himself, was used by others.

But Zheng Qianrou, Tang Tianhao, and the others all admitted that Chen Mu’s strength was no weaker than theirs.

Coupled with the fact that Han Qiao of the Green Snake Gang died at Chen Mu’s hands, it proved that Chen Mu’s combat power was enough to rival the Acquired Fifth Stage, or even stronger!

Challenging across stages and finally winning is the standard for a genius.

A genius isn't just someone who cultivates fast and has a high realm.

If your combat power is no good, it’s all for nothing.

Just like the ranking on the "Hidden Dragon List," it has always looked at combat records, not realms.

What kind of personality Guo Jinquan had, how could Guo Jinian not know?

If his twin brother who died liked to linger in flower fields, loved fine wine and beauties, then Guo Jinquan was selfish, insidious, and narrow-minded.

In the past, Guo Jinquan was one of the young geniuses in Nanyun Prefecture.

As a result, a Chen Mu popped up and stole his limelight; could Guo Jinquan not be jealous?

Guo Jinian didn't believe it.

……

"Jinian is right."

Guo Xianli nodded, the smile on his face faded, and he said in a deep voice, "To deal with Chen Mu, we must plan carefully. The market in the eastern district is lost, so be it."

"Heh, if we do it ourselves, there will naturally be repercussions, but what if others do it?" Guo Jinquan sneered.

"What do you mean?"

Guo Jinian frowned, "Chen Mu is suspected to have an Innate realm Master, and all major forces in the city already know. Without absolute certainty, no one will stick their neck out."

"That’s because everyone has concerns."

Guo Jinquan sneered, "Those with big families and businesses naturally don't dare to move. But those below are different. For example, Guan Tong!"

"Guan Tong? Dadao Gang leader?" Guo Jinian was stunned first, then sneered, "You intend to let Guan Tong kill Chen Mu? Does he dare?"

"As long as the benefits are big enough, why wouldn't he dare?"

Guo Jinquan said coldly, "If we give him an 'Innate Pill,' I don't believe Guan Tong won't be tempted!"

"This……" Guo Jinian paused.

"Good!"

Guo Xianli slapped the table and said excitedly, "Jinquan’s method is really good. An 'Innate Pill' is enough to make Guan Tong solve Chen Mu for us! After Guan Tong kills Chen Mu, we will secretly solve Guan Tong! Even if Chen Mu really has an Innate realm 'Master' behind him, he won't know it was us!"

"……But."

Guo Jinian hesitated, "But the number of 'Innate Pills' is limited, use one and there’s one less……"

"This doesn't matter."

Guo Xianli raised his hand, "If you don't sacrifice the child, you can't catch the wolf. What does Guan Tong want most now? Break through to the Innate realm! If he has an 'Innate Pill' to help, the success rate of his breakthrough can increase by thirty percent! This probability is enough to make him take the risk!"

"And it’s not like we’re killing Huang Feiyang too. Just kill Chen Mu alone, if Guan Tong is smart, he might be able to hide it."

"Then good, I’ll handle this matter!" Guo Jinian said upon hearing this.

"Good, I’ll go find Big Brother to get an 'Innate Pill'." Guo Xianli stood up and walked outside.

Guo Jinquan grinned, a trace of coldness flashing in his eyes as he looked at Guo Jinian.

Competition between disciples of great families has always been fierce.

Take the Guo family, for example; over the past hundred years, twenty or thirty people have died in internal strife.

And that’s just those with Guo family blood in their bodies.

The number of their respective subordinates who died is in the hundreds.

Passed down to today, the Guo family still has four branches.

Guo Jinquan is the third branch.

And Guo Jinian is the second branch.

The strongest is the first branch, and the fourth branch is the weakest.

Decades ago, the Guo family stipulated that their own people could not kill each other; to make a move, they could only let their subordinates fight.

For this reason, the second and third branches had quite a bit of private strife.

Growing up in this environment, don't look at Guo Jinian, who is only fifteen or sixteen; his personality was formed long ago.

Scheming against Guan Tong, killing Chen Mu.

If successful, it’s the Guo family’s overall gain.

That’s right, Xiaoyao Pills are sold by the Guo family in secret.

Chen Mu’s crackdown on the circulation of Xiaoyao Pills in the eastern district naturally had to be eliminated.

If Guan Tong’s murder of Chen Mu fails, the one who comes forward is Guo Jinian, and what does that have to do with him, Guo Jinquan?

……

……

Nanyun Prefecture city.

Outer city.

Eastern district.

Night fell, and Guan Tong, under the protection of his trusted subordinates, walked out of the headquarters and headed home.

Passing by a small alley, a figure suddenly appeared and blocked the way.

"Who is it?"

The trusted subordinate walking in front of Guan Tong stopped immediately and shouted.

Swish swish~

Others immediately protected Guan Tong in the middle, vigilant of their surroundings.

Guan Tong frowned, looking at the person blocking the way through the light of the lanterns on the roadside.

"Who are you……"

"Gang Leader Guan." The person stepped forward two steps, took out a token from his bosom, handed it to a trusted subordinate in front of Guan Tong, and said, "My young master invites you."

"Who is your young master?"

Guan Tong said while taking the token, looking down, his pupils constricted.

"Gang Leader Guan, please."

The person stepped back and made a gesture of invitation.

"……" Guan Tong looked at the other party deeply, then looked at the token in his hand, then took a deep breath and said, "Lead the way."

Hearing this, the person blocking the way walked into the alley.

Guan Tong followed behind with his subordinates.

After walking for a few minutes, the group entered a small courtyard.

Guan Tong left his men in the courtyard and went into the room himself.

Inside the room.

Under the candlelight, Guo Jinian, with his hands behind his back, turned around, looked at Guan Tong, and smiled, "Gang Leader Guan, long time no see."

"Greetings, Young Master Guo."

Guan Tong cupped his hands, "I don't know why Young Master Guo invited me here, what is the matter?"

"Very simple. Kill Chen Mu."

Guo Jinian stated his purpose directly and happily upon hearing this.

"What?"

Guan Tong’s pupils constricted, "Kill Chen Mu?"

"Right."

Guo Jinian said, placing an exquisite small porcelain bottle he was holding on the table and pushing it to Guan Tong.

"There is an 'Innate Pill' inside. Gang Leader Guan, as long as you kill Chen Mu, it’s yours."

Guo Jinian looked at Guan Tong with a smile.

"……"

Guan Tong was silent, but his heartbeat was fast!

Innate Pill!

This is an Innate Pill!

Guan Tong’s external realm was still the Acquired Eighth Stage, but in reality, he had already stepped into the Acquired Ninth Stage, having just broken through half a month ago!

What is the next step after the Acquired Ninth Stage?

Break through to the Innate realm!

However, breaking through to the Innate realm is full of difficulties and crises.

Who knows how many have died from failed breakthroughs.

An Innate Pill, although it cannot guarantee a hundred percent success, increasing the chance by thirty percent is enough to make countless Acquired martial artists go crazy!

Agree?

Or not agree?

Still not agreeing?
