Chapter 59: Kill Guo Jinian First!

"Come, come, brother, have another drink."

"Don't call me Gang Leader anymore, just call me brother!"

"Alright, brother, when do you think we can unify the eastern district?"

"Soon, soon."

"……"

One person playing two roles.

When the time was about right, Chen Mu stood up, walked toward the outside of the house, and while walking, used Guan Tong’s voice to say loudly, "Brother, eat slowly, brother has something to do, I’ll go back to the headquarters first."

After speaking, he switched to his own voice, "Gang Leader, take care!"

Switching back to Guan Tong’s voice, "I said call me brother from now on, why did you change it back?"

Changing to his own voice, "I’m just used to it."

Switching back to Guan Tong’s voice, "Hahaha!"

Amidst the laughter, he opened the courtyard gate, walked out, and closed it behind him.

"Let’s go, go to the headquarters."

Chen Mu said indifferently in Guan Tong’s voice, "Someone will come back to clean up the room later."

"Yes!"

The two trusted subordinates guarding outside the door responded softly.

Chen Mu was in front, the two were behind, and they headed toward the Dadao Gang headquarters.

The room was empty.

Chen Mu had put Guan Tong’s corpse into his palm space!

The three walked far away; if anyone entered the room now, they would only conclude that "Chen Mu" had left.

Pretending to be Guan Tong, habits, small movements, and other details were the first elements, and height was the second.

Chen Mu was still growing, not even one meter eighty.

And Guan Tong was a little over one meter eighty, and his build was also more burly.

If you look closely, you can still tell the difference.

But that’s in the situation where two people are standing together for comparison; just looking at one person, you can’t tell for now.

Just in case, Chen Mu still stood up straight when walking, making himself look taller.

Returning to the Dadao Gang headquarters.

Just as he entered the gate, Chen Mu used Guan Tong’s voice to order, "Go call those four, Old Dao, over, and by the way, call Uncle Kang to come over too."

"Yes!"

Several gang members guarding the gate responded in unison.

Then, they rushed out of the gate and disappeared into the night.

Chen Mu walked straight to the council hall and sat in the head seat to wait.

Soon.

The four Hall Masters of the Dadao Gang, as well as the steward of Guan Tong’s courtyard, Uncle Kang, arrived at the headquarters.

"Greetings, Gang Leader!"

"Gang Leader, what’s the matter, I was just drinking happily."

"……"

The four Hall Masters either saluted or shouted.

Chen Mu maintained Guan Tong’s usual expression and said in a deep voice, "I called you here to inform you of one thing. I have a mission and will be out for a while. When I’ll return is temporarily unknown, initially estimated to be about seven days."

"During the time I’m away, gang affairs should continue as usual. If there’s an emergency, Uncle Dao, you handle it."

"Yes, Gang Leader!" The Internal Affairs Hall Master cupped his hands and responded.

Chen Mu looked at Uncle Kang again and ordered, "As for the situation at home, Uncle Kang, you cooperate with Wan’er."

"Yes, Gang Leader!" Uncle Kang bowed and responded.

Guan Tong had a wife, two concubines, and three mistresses outside.

Generally speaking, one is most familiar with those closest to them.

For this reason, Chen Mu didn't go to Guan Tong’s mansion but called people to the headquarters.

After giving instructions, he let the five leave.

Saying too much leads to mistakes; necessary caution is indispensable.

In the room in the back courtyard of the headquarters, he meditated all night.

Just as dawn broke, Chen Mu wore Guan Tong’s face, rode a horse, and left, rushing toward the city gate.

Leaving from the east gate, running for a while along the official road, taking advantage of no one in front or behind, he turned into the mountain forest, found a hidden corner, took off the human-skin mask, and changed back to his own clothes.

Coming out of the mountain, he rode to the nearest town and found an inn to store the horse.

Then, he used light martial arts to leave, drilled into the dense forest, found a pit, buried Guan Tong’s corpse, and covered it with a giant stone.

After finishing, he returned to the prefecture city.

First went home to report safety, then came out, put on the human-skin mask again, wore a common face, and entered the inner city.

Guan Tong was solved, next was the Guo family, first kill Guo Jinian!

The Guo family was behind the scenes controlling the sale of Xiaoyao Pills; the best way was naturally to report to the Martial Suppression Division.

But Guan Tong only knew that the Guo family was selling them, but didn't participate, so there was no evidence!

Without human or material evidence, he couldn't take down the Guo family.

According to Guan Tong’s memory, the Guo family had three Innate martial artists!

This power, the Martial Suppression Division of the prefecture city, also had to weigh it.

If it were the Gao family, then it would be saved.

With the help of Guan Tong’s memory, Chen Mu knew that the Dadao Gang stood behind the Gao family in the inner city.

For decades, the Dadao Gang had done all kinds of dirty work for the Gao family, offering tribute once every three months.

Guan Tong knew most of the Gao family’s sordid affairs.

This time the Guo family came to the door, Guan Tong was very surprised at first, but after Guo Jinian took out the "Innate Pill," the surprise turned into excitement.

This "Innate Pill" had naturally entered his palm space now.

……

……

Inner city.

"Guan Tong went on a long trip early this morning?"

Guo Jinian, who had just checked the restaurant’s account book, heard the report from his subordinate, his brows furrowed.

The Guan guy took the Innate Pill and ran away?

Guo Jinian’s first reaction was that Guan Tong had run away.

But soon, he dismissed this thought.

An "Innate Pill," even if Guan Tong successfully broke through to the Innate realm, the Guo family could wipe him out with a wave of their hand.

Running away was useless!

It wasn't running away, so Guan Tong really had something to leave for.

Regarding this, Guo Jinian calmed down; he could wait a few days.

Thinking of this, Guo Jinian waved his hand and let his subordinate retreat.

After strolling around the restaurant, he returned home.

Walking on the street, he bumped into acquaintances and greeted each other.

Until……

Swish!

A flash of sword light suddenly appeared, entering his eyes.

Guo Jinian was shocked, his heartbeat like a drum, and as he retreated, he drew his sword to block.

Clang~

Hum~~~!

The crisp sound of metal clashing had just started, and a strong vibrational force wrapped around the long sword in Guo Jinian’s hand. The force of the vibration was so great that in just an instant, his entire right hand holding the sword went numb, and the long sword fell from his hand.

Swish!

The sword light carried a gust of wind, stabbing straight at Guo Jinian’s face.

Guo Jinian retreated, his left hand throwing out two sharp small knives.

Shhh~ shhh~

The small knives missed.

The cold sword light caught up with Guo Jinian, and the cold sword tip pierced his heart.

"Pfft~!"

Blood splattered.

Guo Jinian’s pupils dilated, his eyes full of astonishment, then unwillingness, grievance, fear, and disbelief, and finally the light dissipated, and his consciousness fell into darkness.

[Corpse found, do you want to loot?]

"Yes!"

The card was in hand.

Chen Mu sheathed his sword and turned to leave.

His figure flickered, blending into the crowd, and quickly disappeared.

The guards following Guo Jinian and others around finally woke up.

"Stop!"

"Don't run~!"

"Someone’s been killed!!"

"……"

Screams, exclamations, and roars resounded through the long street.

In an instant, the street fell into chaos.

Chen Mu wandered in the crowd, rubbed his face, changed into a face, and walked out of the inner city calmly.

At the same time.

A patrol team of the Martial Suppression Division arrived at Guo Jinian’s corpse.

"This is…… 'Cloud-Swinging Sword Art'?"
