Chapter 76: Another big harvest!
"Today at noon!"
He Ningshuang caught her breath and replied, "The time of death was today at noon. By the way, the cause of death was poisoning! Including the Three Absolutes Valley Sect Leader, they were all poisoned first and then killed."
Died at noon?
Chen Mu was shocked.
"What about Tang Wuyang?" Zhao Fuzhou asked.
"Except for Tang Wuyang!"
He Ningshuang said seriously, "The corpses of everyone else in Three Absolutes Valley are there; only Tang Wuyang is missing."
"It seems Tang Wuyang has officially become a member of the Eternal Life Sect." Zhao Fuzhou said indifferently.
Chen Mu could think of it, and he naturally could too.
Eternal Life Sect entry three passes: eat human flesh, kill whole family, cut off retreat!
Eating human flesh could be done secretly, and killing the whole family could also be framed on others.
Cutting off the retreat wouldn't work; basically, it was publicized, cutting off one’s own retreat, and from now on, one could only defect to and rely on the "Eternal Life Sect"!
Tang Wuyang first poisoned, then killed everyone in Three Absolutes Valley; whether forced or active, he could only walk to the end of the road from now on.
The people of Three Absolutes Valley, it seemed, were poisoned by Tang Wuyang when they were eating lunch.
'This beast, he should have returned to Three Absolutes Valley after I escaped……'
Chen Mu pondered.
……
"My lord, what should we do?"
He Ningshuang asked, "Three Absolutes Valley was exterminated, Tang Wuyang joined the Eternal Life Sect; should we immediately issue a wanted notice for him?"
Issuing a wanted notice for Tang Wuyang was inevitable, but when to issue the wanted notice had its own considerations.
"Wait a moment."
Zhao Fuzhou shook his head, "Wait until I return from Three Absolutes Valley."
"My lord, can I follow along?" Chen Mu heard this and bowed.
He Ningshuang looked at Chen Mu, "You are……"
"Lord He." Chen Mu bowed to her, but still didn't take off the human-skin mask, but the voice he spoke with was his own.
He Ningshuang was first confused, then recognized him the next moment, her eyes suddenly widened, but she didn't point it out.
She just looked at Chen Mu strangely, then looked at Zhao Fuzhou.
"You can."
Zhao Fuzhou smiled lightly, "As long as you can keep up, I don't intend to ride a horse."
"I should be able to keep up." Chen Mu smiled too.
"Then let’s go."
Zhao Fuzhou stepped toward the door, "Ningshuang, you stay; no need to go again."
"Yes, my lord!" He Ningshuang bowed and responded.
Chen Mu bowed to her, followed Zhao Fuzhou, and quickly left the Martial Suppression Division.
Whoosh~
Whoosh!
As soon as they left the main gate, Zhao Fuzhou flew toward the city gate as if shrinking the ground into an inch, one step for dozens of meters.
Light-body technique!
A very exquisite light-body technique, one step for dozens of meters, clearly possessing both explosive sprint and long-distance running capabilities.
Chen Mu hadn't looted any skill cards related to this kind of explosive sprint light-body technique yet.
Fortunately, the "Wind-Chasing Leg" at the peak realm was enough for Chen Mu to keep up.
Zhao Fuzhou flew and moved in front, and Chen Mu followed closely behind.
Between the two, they always maintained a distance of about three meters.
After leaving the prefecture city, they didn't stop at all.
Under the night sky, Zhao Fuzhou didn't mean to slow down at all, and didn't stop even once.
From beginning to end, Chen Mu followed behind him without falling behind.
On the way, no one opened their mouth to speak.
What Chen Mu didn't see was that Zhao Fuzhou, who was flying in front, had the corners of his mouth slightly raised at some point.
……
Three Absolutes Valley.
When Chen Mu followed Zhao Fuzhou and arrived, Yan Qingyuan and others who came in the afternoon had already collected the corpses and placed them together, in three large rows in the open space.
[Corpse discovered, do you want to loot it?]
"Yes!"
[Corpse discovered, do you want to loot it?]
"Yes!"
……
Walking half a circle in the open space, Chen Mu looted a large number of cards.
Then reached into his pocket to check them one by one.
The harvest was thirty-six Internal Power cards, two Memory cards, five Skill cards, three Cultivation cards, ten Strength cards.
The rest were either Stamina cards or Energy cards.
First read the two Memory cards to see if there were any clues.
As a result, one memory card came from a Three Absolutes Valley handyman disciple, who knew nothing and just died of poisoning while eating lunch.
Another came from a female disciple, who also didn't know, and was just jealous of others before she died.
Like the three memory cards looted from the Guo family before, there were no clues to guide them.
The various buildings in Three Absolutes Valley had already been checked by Yan Qingyuan and others, and nothing was found either.
Chen Mu walked around holding a torch, and the Martial Suppression Division guards saw him but didn't ask.
Because Chen Mu was following Zhao Fuzhou.
Although he was a stranger, no one gossiped.
Walking around the entire valley, he didn't hear or smell anything unusual.
Chen Mu returned to Zhao Fuzhou’s side, bowed, "My lord, nothing found."
"Hm~"
Zhao Fuzhou nodded, "Since nothing was found, you go down and rest, or go back directly."
"This subordinate takes his leave!"
Chen Mu bowed again, then turned and left.
The cards were in hand; there was no need to stay in Three Absolutes Valley.
Go straight home!
"My lord, who is that brother?" Peng Wu looked at Chen Mu’s distant back and asked suspiciously.
"One of our own."
Zhao Fuzhou replied, then ordered, "Bury all the corpses."
"Yes!"
Seeing that Zhao Fuzhou didn't want to say more, Peng Wu closed his mouth sensibly and let his subordinates go dig pits.
……
When Chen Mu returned to Nanyun Prefecture City, the sky was about to brighten.
Because he used an Energy card on the way, he didn't feel half a bit of fatigue.
Returning home, he greeted Huang Feiyang who was practicing martial arts early, entered the room, closed the door, took out the cards, and counted the harvest.
It was mainly several Skill cards; this time there was another special Skill card.
Eagle Eye!
As the name suggests, using the card would grant vision like an eagle’s eye.
Eagle eye was not just far-sightedness, but also light sensitivity and depth perception.
This ability perfectly replaced the martial art "Startling Swallow." [76
Coincidentally, he had picked up an archery martial arts skill card in the Three Absolutes Valley.
This martial art was named "Soul-Chasing Arrow"!
Three Absolutes Valley had three absolutes.
Archery, pharmacology, and fist techniques.
Although "Soul-Chasing Arrow" was not an Xiantian martial art, just like "Cloud-Sweeping Sword," once cultivated to the realm of perfection, it could possess the power of an Xiantian martial art.
Soul-Lock!
By consuming one's own spiritual energy and driving it with true qi, the fired arrow could continuously pursue the target.
Eagle Eye and "Soul-Chasing Arrow" were a perfect match!
Another prominent skill card was not a martial art or a cultivation technique, but a battle formation.
"One-Character Spear Forest Formation"!
Without a doubt, it must have been picked up from Xie Chenglin.
This battle formation technique was extremely exquisite, using long spears as the foundation to condense spear momentum.
Momentum!
The power of battle formation momentum was extremely formidable.
The Great Zhou imperial court had stood for over five hundred years.
The reason it had not declined after such a long time, apart from the top-tier powerhouses, was that the battle formation techniques in the military were the strongest of all successive dynasties, which was also one of the keys.
The "One-Character Spear Forest Formation" was created by Xie Chenglin himself.
Without a corresponding memory card, Chen Mu did not know if the Iron Spear Gate had ever organized this battle formation.
The last different skill card was a martial art suspected to be Xiantian.
"Two Forms Sword Qi"!
