Chapter Seventy-Seven: White Horse Stream

Cheng's face instantly became gloomy, and under the forced gaze of Mei Qihua's eyes, he silently lowered his head, "Where is the alliance leader, we made an oath together back then......"

"The old man didn't mean to blame you, and what the old man said was literal. Back then, the Suzhou Martial Arts League was formed because of the Netherworld Ghost King, and today it is not bad to be scattered because of the Netherworld Ghost King.

The old man didn't have to tie you up on the boat, and the old man never meant to persecute you. Master Qiu can take refuge in the Netherworld Ghost King, and so can you.

However, I would like to remind you that everyone has experienced the ups and downs of walking the rivers and lakes for decades. There is no luck in everything, and the way to survive is to fight it with your own fists, not to beg for mercy in handouts.

Thirty years ago, the ghost king killed the bloody martial arts in Suzhou. Thirty years later, don't expect him to start fasting and reciting Buddha. That's all the old man said, he wants to stay with us, if you don't want to, please do it!"

"Alliance leader, you have to give everyone time to think about it, right?" Cheng Zhangmen suddenly felt a little difficult to ride a tiger.

"Time?is now!" Mei Qihua stood up slowly, "I'll go to Lord Lu to ask about countermeasures, let's think about it slowly." โ€

The moment Mei Qihua and the other three heads stepped out of the door of the council hall, the sound of discussion behind them sounded like boiling water.

Faint sandalwood with a faint fragrance.

Lu Sheng looked at the disciples of the various factions who were preparing to pack their bags and chuckled, "You just let them go?"

"I'm already scared, what's the use of staying?" Mei Qihua said indifferently.

"But at least you're not scared. โ€

"Lord Lu, what do you mean by this?" Boss Zhao looked at Lu Sheng with an unkind look.

"Don't be angry when you say it, Master Zhao, I originally thought that even you also had the intention of retreating. The Netherworld Ghost King's strategy is clever. The Suzhou Wulin League, which was originally united, fell apart in an instant. They were scared, but I'm also worried that you'll be discouraged.

They thought that going down the mountain was equivalent to withdrawing from the world. But I don't want to, only if everyone hugs together, the Netherworld Ghost King has no chance to take advantage of it. Leaving the tree, they were the first to die. โ€

"Heyโ€”they were all chosen by themselves, and I can't complain about them. โ€

A total of three sects left this time, and hundreds of people slowly got off Jingyangmen. The face of the head of the three factions was not very good, and although he chose to leave, his heart suddenly became empty.

After breaking away from the Suzhou Wulin League, they realized that they did not have the slightest sense of security. But if they want to go up the mountain again, they can't save face.

The eyes of the heads of the three factions kept talking, and although they didn't speak to each other, they understood what each other meant.

"Everyone should be vigilant at all times, and no one should leave without permission!"

"Yesโ€”"

"Master......" Suddenly, a female disciple's hesitant voice sounded.

"What's the matter?" Wu Yingxiong frowned, and drank a little unhappily.

"Master, I want to ...... I'd like to go and make it easier......"

Wu Yingxiong frowned slightly, but nodded silently, "Dong'er, Ling'er, you go with Chun'er!"

"Yes!"

The three female disciples left the group with a slight red face and turned to the dense forest on the side of the road.

"Brother Wu, the Netherworld Ghost King is ruthless, will he really let me wait if we leave?"

"We've already left, wouldn't it be a shame for them to go back? Besides, thirty years ago, we didn't have a faction, and even if the Nether Demon King wanted revenge, it wouldn't be on our heads. โ€

"Let's hope so......"

"Ahh

Suddenly, a scream came from the depths of the dense forest on the side of the road, which was the voice of the female disciple who had just entered the convenient place.

The moment the screams rang out, the disciples of the three factions didn't have time to move. Suddenly, several figures sprang out of the dense forest behind him, rushing towards the direction where the sound sounded.

The faces of the heads of the three factions changed greatly, and they hurriedly hurried away with light skills.

Rushing to the location where the sound came from, his disciple was pointing at a corpse leaning against the trunk of a tree on the opposite side with a frightened face.

If you want to talk about the children of the rivers and lakes, you should naturally not be scared like this when you see the corpse. But in the current atmosphere of terror, it is not only the heads of the various factions who are tense. The disciples are also like frightened birds.

The three female disciples went to the convenience, and suddenly saw a dead corpse, and it was understandable that they let out a scream.

"Master Mei League, you ......" The heads of the three factions saw Mei Qihua and the others suddenly appear, and their faces suddenly became ugly.

"We were afraid that you would encounter a sneak attack from the Nether Demon King, so we decided to escort you for a ride. To avoid embarrassment to you, so act in secret. Mei Qihua raised his head coldly and glanced at the three masters.

"Multi-...... Thank you Alliance Leader......" The faces of the heads of the three factions suddenly turned red, and the guilt in their hearts was even more surging.

"Third junior brother-" Lu Sheng and his party, who arrived later, also fell from the sky, and after Lu Jian saw the corpse, he immediately called out sadly.

"Third Senior Brother-" Shao Jie looked blankly at Lu Mu, who had died, and his eyes widened to reveal a blank look. Maybe by now, he doesn't know what happened to him?

The deceased was Lu Mu, the third disciple of Jingyangmen, who was still like the other disciples who were killed by the Netherworld Ghost King, his limbs were broken, and he died after sucking up his internal strength.

Lu Sheng came to the corpse gloomily and looked at the corpse spots all over the corpse.

"The time of death was no more than three days, the body had just begun to decompose, and the smell of the corpse was not obvious. But I remember...... It has been almost seven days since Lu Mu left. It shouldn't take you three days to get here, right?"

"Slaughter Jingyang first, and then destroy the lake and sea...... The Netherworld Ghost King really wants the Jingyangmen chicken dog to stay......" Mei Qihua said with excitement trembling all over, "Quick, let's search around to see if there are any other disciples of Jingyangmen." โ€

The people of the Suzhou Wulin League immediately dispersed and searched along the dense forest.

"Lu Jian, I remember that when Lu Mu went down the mountain, he didn't wear this dress and shoes, right?" Lu Sheng asked again.

"It seems that yes, I didn't pay attention at that time, my lord, the death of the third junior brother...... What's the difference?"

"There are too many strange things!" Lu Sheng circled around Lu Mu's corpse, "After the Nether Ghost King absorbed Guan Yue's internal power, he had already practiced to the Reincarnation Heavenly Tomb and no longer needed the Ding Furnace, but he still killed Lu Mu?

Lu Mu's cultivation is only in the acquired fivefold realm, and this internal strength is not enough for the Netherworld Ghost King to stuff his teeth.

Secondly, when Lu Mu was killed, he had been gone for at least three days. It's not going to take three days, right?"

"Alliance leader, there's a discoveryโ€”"

Suddenly, a disciple shouted in the distance.

Lu Sheng and the others hurriedly followed, and found that on the edge of the stream not far away, a shoe was discarded on the bank.

Searched along the creek and found a piece of clothing that had been soaked in water for many days. However, apart from shoes and clothes, a search in the vicinity failed to find any other bodies.

Lu Sheng unfolded his clothes and looked at Lu Mu's corpse in front of him for a long time, "I'm not mistaken, this dress was worn by Lu Mu when he went down the mountain." And the clothes he is wearing now are not his. โ€

"Lord Lu, do you mean that the Netherworld Ghost King changed into a piece of clothing for him after killing someone?

"He's not sick!" Lu Sheng silently put away his clothes, "It should be said that there are clues on Lu Mu's clothes that the Nether Ghost King doesn't want us to know." And this should be the reason why Lu Mu was killed.

There are two explanations why Lu Mu's body appeared here, one is that the murderer moved him here after killing him. Another explanation is that Lu Mu originally left, but he found something and planned to come back to tell us.

It's a pity that the clothes have been soaked in water for too long, and the clues left behind have been washed away. โ€

As he spoke, Lu Sheng once again examined Lu Mu's body from beginning to end.

Suddenly, Lu Sheng's eyes flashed. Slowly stretched out his hand and untied Lu Mu's somewhat messy bun, and the knotted hair spread out, "Ahri, give me that white handkerchief." โ€

Lu Li hurriedly handed the handkerchief to Lu Sheng, and after Lu Sheng took it, he gently wiped it along Lu Mu's hair.

Unfold the handkerchief, which has become dirty and covered with red dirt.

Lu Sheng gently brought the handkerchief to his nose, "It's not blood, it has a hint of earthy smell and contains fine particles." It's a red dirt. โ€

"Red soil?" Suddenly, Lu Jian seemed to remember something and hurriedly said in surprise, "I remember that the hometown of the third junior brother is in Gu County, and the normal road is to turn from the foot of the mountain to the official road, enter the north gate of Suzhou City and then turn the west gate to enter Gu County."

But the third junior brother told us that from the West Mountain of Baixiang County, we can directly reach Gu County by crossing a section of Bazhang cliff through Baima Stream. It is definitely not possible for ordinary people, but it is also very easy for people who practice martial arts.

The third junior brother said that on the back slope of the White Horse Stream, there is a kind of red soil, which is very beautiful. Last year, the seventh senior sister celebrated her birthday, and he also used it as a gift. โ€

"That is to say, Lu Mu has been to that White Horse Stream recently, and the reason why he was killed should also be related to this. Otherwise, if the murderer really wanted to kill Lu Mu, there was no need to wait until Lu Mu had gone so far to make a move. And after killing someone, move him here again. Everyone follow me to the White Horse Stream to have a look. โ€

There are no white horses in the White Horse Stream, and there is no spectacular water flow as you would have imagined. The White Horse Stream is just a stream that meanders down the cliff wall. The stream is murmuring, and it flows into the Chenghu Lake in Suzhou along the traces of time.

Under the leadership of Lu Jian, Lu Sheng and the others finally found the back slope with red soil according to Lu Mu's dictation.

On the entire slope, the red dirt is no longer visible. Because the entire slope is full of gorgeous colorful flowers.

Enchanting, weird, and it also made Lu Sheng's back a little chilly.

The poppy, on the back of this inaccessible slope that is blocked from view, is actually planted with poppies. This is more than ten times more than the crane and white sheep planted on the top of Tashan Mountain.

Lu Sheng can imagine how many people would suffer if all these opium poppies were refined into drugs.

"This ...... So much...... What is the poison of so many doves?What is the crane and the white sheep going to do...... Does he want to use the poison of the dove to control the whole world?" said Mei Qihua with fear on his face.
