My experience of grinding in another world

Chapter 255 Abandonment
A red light suddenly flashed in Chen Mu's eyes: "Fine, fine... Since you want to act, then I'll play along to the end!"

"This thick fog is so annoying!"

He immediately took out the Fire Cloud Gourd and quickly chanted a spell.

puff!
Blue flames, like a bursting dam, surged forth from the mouth of the black gourd.

Centered on Chen Mu, it swirled outwards in all directions.

The magical power within the thick fog was instantly destroyed by the scorching temperature, and most of the fog evaporated in the blink of an eye.

The surrounding scenery suddenly became clear.

The courtyard on the hill was riddled with holes, and the huge stone wall on the east side was also smashed.

Two hundred meters outside the courtyard, under a large, broad-leaved tree, Lin Su's figure appeared.

Chen Mu roared, slightly bending his legs and using the Illusion Technique to strengthen the soles of his feet.

boom!
A two-meter-wide crater suddenly appeared in the ground.

Chen Mu crashed through the lingering, broken mist and slammed into Lin Su.

Lin Su almost instinctively activated the Yin Sha Secret Arrow.

A series of black arrows shot out from the shadows, raining down on Chen Mu.

Chen Mu neither guarded nor guarded against it.

He figured it out, decided not to force himself anymore, and gave up entirely!

He wanted to give that bastard a good punch before he was riddled with holes!
So he raised his left hand to shield his eyes, letting his black smoke and spiritual light be shattered, and then fiercely activated the Illusion Technique, charging forward despite the black arrows.

ding ding ding...

Like an iron nail hitting the ground, the black arrow struck Chen Mu, making a clanging sound, but only pierced his skin, leaving a series of small marks!

"I knew it! At a time like this, he's still acting!" Chen Mu was furious.

He took two steps and stood in front of Lin Su.

"Innuendo!"

A black and red sphere suddenly appeared in Chen Mu's right palm.

Then he pulled back with his right hand to gather strength, pushed the black and red ball, and slammed it hard in front of Lin Su.

Lin Su's defensive aura only lasted for a moment before it was corroded by the indirect attack and shattered by the overwhelming force.

Chen Mu suddenly concentrated all his strength into his fists.

The muscles were so muscular they looked like they were about to burst out of the surface of his indigo skin.

"Isn't your plan to trick me into attacking first, and then suddenly kill me, just to toy with me?"

"Why don't you just do it!"

"what!"

buzzing...

His fists pounded down on Lin Su relentlessly, like the flapping wings of a bee.

Click!

Lin Su's right arm, which he instinctively raised in front of him, was immediately broken.

"What the hell are you talking about?!"

Lin Su only had time to think about this question before his thoughts were completely shut down by a hail of fists.

Click click click...

Puff puff……

Bones shattered, internal organs ruptured, blood splattered!
The immense pain brought Lin Su a moment of clarity. Feeling the rapidly approaching shadow of death, Lin Su's heart was instantly filled with a sense of absurdity and regret.

"What the hell did I run into?!"

"My secret technique for condensing energy..."

"My path..."

"I'm not reconciled!"

……

After a long while, Chen Mu came to his senses.

Looking down at Lin Su's head, which was dented but not broken, he was completely bewildered.
He... he faked his own death?!
"You were thinking of playing dumb to outmaneuver someone, feigning weakness to turn the tables, but you didn't manage to strike the right balance?"

"His own series of punches disrupted his rhythm, ultimately leading to his death?"

That's for sure!
Chen Mu still felt lingering fear when he thought about it.

"So lucky!"

If this person had used all their strength from the very beginning.

Could that giant, misty hand just crush him to death in an instant?!
Or perhaps they'll be riddled with holes by those densely packed short arrows?!

terrible!
Chen Mu was freed from the possession of the Five Ghosts.

He collapsed to the ground with a thud, too weak to even move a single finger.

It felt like a hole had been gouged out between his eyebrows, and the pain made him want to smash his head.

The battle lasted less than three minutes from start to finish, but it exceeded the limits of the Five Ghosts Possession.

It took Chen Mu a while to recover somewhat. He forced himself to sit up, enduring the sharp pain between his eyebrows. "We need to deal with the scene quickly!"

Looking at the courtyard that had collapsed most of the way and the messy low hillside, a sense of crisis rose in my heart.

"This man is under the jurisdiction of the Inspection Bureau. We absolutely cannot let anyone find out that he died on my side."

Five Ghosts Moving Mountains!

Black smoke billowed out, and Lin Su, whose head had shrunk, was instantly swallowed up and eaten dry.

He then slipped into the underground chamber.

They collected some yellow rice and cured meat, then destroyed and filled in the passage to prevent it from being discovered.

They further damaged the courtyard in the low hills, set it on fire, and then left without hesitation.

He stayed on the Tongtian River last night and did not return.

He was caught in the crossfire of the battle between the Chongshan Dao disciples.

It has nothing to do with him!

That's it!

……

Meeting point at the pavilion in Gengyin District.

Chen Mu deliberately took a roundabout route, and by the time he arrived, forty or fifty people had already gathered.

"Why is your face so pale?" Shang Huan teased Chen Mu.

"I was scared," Chen Mu said calmly.

"I was terrified too, and hid in the cellar all night without daring to show my face," Shang Huan said with a sense of sympathy.

"You've been on the Tongtian River all night?" Old Hao asked, looking in the direction Chen Mu had come from.

"When I saw that black dragon soaring into the sky, I didn't dare to move. It wasn't until dawn that I approached the dock to take a closer look," Chen Mu said "truthfully."

"It's a good thing you didn't come back." Old Hao sighed, "Your courtyard was affected by someone, most of it collapsed, and it was also set on fire."

"By now, the wooden shed should all be burned to ashes."

Chen Mu's expression changed drastically. Feigning shock and anger, he exclaimed, "Why am I so unlucky!"

“You should be glad. If you had been in the yard last night…” Old Hao said meaningfully.

Chen Mu immediately shivered in agreement: "We should be thankful."

He then changed the subject, steering the conversation back to what happened last night.

The two of them indeed stopped talking about his burned-down house.

……

Forty or fifty people gathered together, creating a chaotic scene, all talking about the turmoil of the previous night.

Some were afraid, some were excited.

Chen Mu hid in the crowd, observing silently.

Fear is normal, but excitement is somewhat intriguing.

Last night, when he received the dream of fellow practitioners, he discovered that it wasn't just Chongshan Dao who was committing murder and robbery; some disciples of the lower courtyard of Jilong Dao were also taking the opportunity to cause trouble.

Chen Mu silently memorized the faces of the people.

"I should stay away from these people in the future."

He didn't want to take the gift back.

trouble!

……

As the sun rose higher in the sky, the group grew increasingly impatient.

Finally, a team of inspectors arrived, looking travel-worn.

Two of them posted a notice with black writing on a white sheet of paper on the pillar of the pavilion.

The head of the black-clad officers stood beside the pillar and spoke with a serious expression.

"The Supervisor has given an order."

"To prevent another attack from Chongshan Road and avoid greater losses, the abbot has decided to abandon the lower temple and collectively retreat into the mountains to clear land and seek refuge."

"Whether or not to follow us into the mountains is your own decision."

"Followers will receive certain preferential treatment."

"Those who leave will be considered to have automatically relinquished their status as disciples of the Chicken Cage Sect's lower academy."

"The details are all in the notice."

"Those who wish to follow can meet at Bingzi District early tomorrow morning to depart."

Almost the instant the black-clad steward finished speaking, the crowd erupted in uproar.

Chen Mu's expression was solemn.

Abandon the House of Commons?

Has the situation become this dire?
