Chapter 364 - 357: Capturing Souls and Returning to the Origin
Beneath Eagle Grief Cliff, in the northern district of Market Fortress.
Lu Tu, the butcher, hugged a massive, spicy pig-rabbit head, his face glistening with grease as he gnawed on it.
"Those fellows should be done for by now," Lu Tu thought to himself with eager anticipation.
"All I wanted was to earn a bit more White Jade Coins. When you see the Netherworld’s Mingjun, don’t curse me for being sneaky."
Thinking of the large stockpile of Exotic Beast Meat he had amassed, Lu Tu couldn’t help but feel thrilled.
He had reported all the groups that bought Exotic Beasts from the mountain people of East Ridge as smugglers and traitors.
Once these people were caught, the meat prices at Eagle Grief Cliff would skyrocket immediately.
"Once I make a killing on this, I’ll retreat back to Jade Spring Mountain."
"With that White Jade, I’ll have enough to peacefully cultivate for two years."
"Once I’ve broken through illusions and trained in Mana, hmph hmph..."
Creak...@@@@
He was lost in his thoughts when the faint sound of a door hinge suddenly reached his ears.
Lu Tu’s heart tensed, and as he turned his head, he saw a billow of black smoke pouring into the room.
His scalp went numb instantly, and he instinctively threw the pig-rabbit head towards the black smoke.
Then, with a whoosh, he sprang up, his corpulent body agile as a rabbit’s, shooting straight toward the window.
Just as he was about to break through the window, a figure emerged from within the black smoke out of thin air.
Wu Ruo grabbed Lu Tu’s right ankle in one swift motion, yanking him back and slamming him violently onto the floor.
Bang!
The green brick floor instantly shattered.
She looked at Lu Tu with an expressionless face as if he were a pig-rabbit waiting to be slaughtered.
Capturing Essence to Revitalize!
Lu Tu only felt intense pain in his ankle; a ferocious suction force stemming from his right foot spread quickly throughout his body.
In the blink of an eye, he felt as though he had fallen into a nest of leeches, as if countless blood-sucking parasites were piercing his skin, greedily sucking and swallowing his blood.
Lu Tu convulsed violently like a fish out of water.
He instinctively opened his mouth to scream, but after his throat moved twice, his entire body deflated like a punctured balloon, from a fat man with a face full of flesh to a skinny stick figure of skin and bones.
After twitching a couple of times, he was completely lifeless.
Chen Mu entered the room, and seeing Lu Tu turn into a dried-up corpse in an instant, his eyelid twitched.
Then, looking at Wu Ruo, who still appeared as composed as a gentle big sister, the skin beneath his mask involuntarily began to twitch.
"What a ruthless person!"
Crack!
A crisp sound caught Chen Mu’s attention.
The recently dismembered Ai Ji on Yu Lin’s back was now on his feet.

If he hadn’t been so low-profile, he definitely would have been worshipped to the skies by the disciples of Jilong Road!
Even the proud six siblings couldn’t help but marvel, privately feeling that falling into the hands of such a person was no injustice.
Even so, they had never connected him with the mysterious person wanted by the Sun Family.
Perhaps there was a moment they entertained the thought, but their rationality quickly dismissed it.
They knew he was an Alchemist with Illusion Breaking Cultivation, with trump cards and great strength.
But they never thought he could be compared with Sun Jian, after all, that was a Condensing Aperture expert.
But now...
"Although I tried to estimate as high as possible, it seems I still underestimated him," Wu Ruo said, shaking his head in sigh.
"All I know is that his United Heart Curse has grown stronger," Lu Ku said calmly, his eyes, however, holding a hint of bitterness.
The six fell into silence unanimously.
"How come you only realized now that the mysterious person is Mr. Gongsun?" Shang Huan asked the Wu Mountain siblings with a puzzled face.
The six were taken aback at his words.
Because they knew the real identity of Gongsun Sheng, they had naturally assumed that it wasn’t him.
Shang Huan, unaware of Chen Mu’s identity, had guessed early on that Gongsun Sheng was the mysterious person.
"Isn’t it normal for Mr. Gongsun to be that powerful?" Shang Huan said matter-of-factly, "If he didn’t have that confidence, I wouldn’t dare to do business with the barbarians of East Ridge."
He then looked at the Wu Mountain siblings with a suspicious face, "Isn’t this easy to guess?"
To Shang Huan, these brothers and sisters usually acted so high and mighty, but now... tsk tsk... they weren’t that smart!
The six siblings: "..."
This fatso’s gaze is so annoying.
He really freaking deserves a beating!
And so, Wu Ruo looked at Shang Huan with a pleasant face, using a magnetic voice to speak with a smile, "Little fatty, there’s something I’m very curious about."
"You knew how formidable Mr. Gongsun was, so why did you dare to betray?"
"Don’t try to argue; I shared Vital Energy with United Heart Gu and gained some shared sensations. So, whatever you said when you were caught, I could hear it," Wu Ruo said with a smile.
Shang Huan quickly explained, "I just wanted to bring up Elder Liang Yi to scare Zhao Shaoyuan."
"Who would have thought that Zhao Shaoyuan was crazy and wouldn’t listen to anything, not even letting me speak."
"Is that what you planned?" Wu Ruo feigned sudden realization, then continued with an undiminished smile, "But Mr. Gongsun doesn’t know that."
"He only heard that you seemed eager to disclose your powerful backers happily."
"Heh..."
At that moment, Shang Huan felt as if an electric current had passed through his body, as if his hair was about to stand on end!
I’m freaking considered a traitor now?!
Damn it!
