Who is still chasing after the school beauty?

"This... In short, there won't be any problems within our martial arts association."

Lu Tiancheng didn’t know how to explain for a moment, and his face became even uglier.

The early appearance of the mysterious man in black was equivalent to giving him a slap in the face.

He promised to help the Song family deal with the man in black robe, but before he could make a move, the man in black robe tricked him, and what he thought was a well-thought-out plan fell through.

Qin Chen looked at Lu Tiancheng, "Where was President Lu when this happened? Didn't he have a thorough plan? Why did he come only now?"

Lu Tiancheng looked embarrassed.

"Tonight, several warriors in Jianghai were killed by strange means. The means were extremely cruel. I rushed to the scene to check it out."

"I just got the news and rushed here."

Qin Chen snorted coldly, "Luring the tiger away from the mountain, such an obvious intention, but you didn't even notice it. It's true that your martial arts association is incompetent."

"You... everything happened for a reason. No one expected things to turn out like this."

Lu Tiancheng was too embarrassed to refute Qin Chen's words this time. The performance of the Martial Arts Association was indeed not very good this time. Several members of the Martial Arts Association died, and they were led by the nose by that mysterious man.

Until now, he didn't even know who the mysterious man in black was or what force he belonged to.

Song Chuan was shocked when he heard this. "That mysterious man in black robe dared to plot against President Lu and even killed the people from the Martial Arts Association. He must be either mad as hell or he must have a powerful backer behind him, otherwise he wouldn't dare to be so rampant."

"This series of schemes is not only a revenge against the Song family, but also a demonstration to President Lu."

Lu Tiancheng nodded, "Damn guy, don't let me find out who he is. He dares to provoke me. He doesn't know whether he lives or dies."

"Mr. Song, I will strengthen the security around the Song family and will not give that mysterious man in black any chance to take advantage of us."

Qin Chen said in a deep voice: "You are in the light, and the enemy is in the dark. Just reinforcing the manpower will not be of much use. Besides, except for you, who is capable of fighting him, no one else is his opponent. There is no need to increase casualties in vain."

"Then what do you think we should do? We can't just sit there and wait for death and be led by him by the nose, right?" Lu Tiancheng said dissatisfiedly.

Song Chuan's face was full of solemnity. "Oh, right, that mysterious man in black robe gave our Song family an ultimatum. Even if it means losing everything, we must collect another batch of spiritual materials for him within three days. This is the list he gave me."

Song Chuan took out a piece of paper.

Qin Chen took them and took a look. They were all relatively precious and worth a lot of money.

If the Song family wants to gather this batch of spiritual materials, they will really go bankrupt. He is forcing the Song family and also taking revenge on the Song family for daring to resist him.

The Song family has been forced into a desperate situation.

Do it and go bankrupt.

If you don't do as you are told, the mysterious man in black will come back to kill people again.

Song Chuan's face was full of bitterness. "The Song family has no way out. If we don't deal with this mysterious man in black robes, the Song family will never be able to turn things around."

Qin Chen thought for a moment, "This mysterious man in black robe will definitely leave some clues when he takes action."

"Old man Song, take me to see the people from your Song family who died."

"President Lu, bring over the bodies of the martial arts association warriors who died and see what common features they have."

Song Chuan and Lu Tiancheng nodded at the same time. What they needed to do most now was to learn more about the mysterious man in black robe.

Not long after, several corpses were placed in the backyard of the Song family, including those from the Song family and the Martial Arts Association.

Qin Chen walked around the corpses.

Their deaths were very similar, and it was obvious that they died by the same method.

There was a hole on the top of the head of each deceased person, as if it had been chiseled by some sharp tool.

Song Chuan and Lu Tiancheng looked solemn.

Song Chuan gnashed his teeth and said, "That mysterious man in black not only killed people, but also used such cruel methods. The dead people's brains were hollowed out. He is really crazy."

Lu Tiancheng was also very angry. "You are such a coward, using such shady means. You have no humanity at all."

They couldn't see any clues. This kind of wound was something they had never seen before. It looked like it was caused by something biting it.

Seeing these holes, Qin Chen felt familiar with them.

He frowned slightly and recalled.

I remembered.

Isn’t this the same method of killing as the poisonous insect that Gu Shanhe raised?

Pith-eating worm!

The ancient mountains and rivers have been reduced to ashes, and all the poisonous insects have been killed.

How come the marrow-eating worms appeared again to kill people?

Could it be that there are other people who also know how to cultivate marrow-eating worms?

Qin Chen frowned and thought deeply.

Recalling the conversation scene with Gu Shanhe at that time.

I vaguely remember that Gu Shanhe mentioned Gu Men.

According to Gu Shanhe, the Gu Clan seemed to be very powerful.

Gu Shanhe is a member of the Gu Clan. He can cultivate marrow-eating worms. So it is possible for other people in the Gu Clan to cultivate marrow-eating worms as well.

That mysterious man in black robe is most likely also a member of Gu Clan.

"These people died from the mouths of marrow-eating beetles. The marrow-eating beetles have sharp mouthparts that can easily bite open their skulls."

Song Chuan and Lu Tiancheng looked at each other, both with confusion in their eyes.

They had never heard of the marrow-eating worm, nor had they seen one.

"I have never seen a marrow-eating worm, so I don't know how it kills people. However, the internal documents of the Martial Arts Association record that there is a force that can breed all kinds of worms and use them to kill people."

Lu Tiancheng recalled the information he had read, "Gu Men is a very mysterious force that has disappeared for many years."

"Could this matter be related to the Gu Clan?"

Qin Chen looked at Lu Tiancheng in surprise. The information that the Martial Arts Association could grasp was much more than that of ordinary people. They associated it with the Gu Clan so quickly.

"Gu Men?"

Song Chuan looked confused. How could the Song family have provoked the Gu Clan?

Before this, he had never even heard of Gu Men.

"It's the Gu Clan. I've seen this method of killing before. He's also a member of the Gu Clan. I didn't expect that someone from the Gu Clan would appear again." Qin Chen said in a deep voice.

Song Chuan's expression was solemn. "Why did the people from Gu Clan target our Song family? That mysterious man suddenly appeared in Jianghai a few years ago, found our Song family, and forced us to help him collect spiritual materials."

"If he simply wanted to rely on the Song family's resources to help him do things, he might have also found other influential families."

Three years ago, the Song family was the number one family in Jianghai, and its financial resources and influence were at the top of the pyramid in Jianghai.

Qin Chen thought about it and said, "This is a point where we can start to make efforts. President Lu, your Martial Arts Association can check whether there are other major forces in Jianghai that are threatened and required to collect spiritual materials."

"The target of this mysterious man in black robe is obviously some specific spiritual materials."

Lu Tiancheng nodded and said, "I will arrange for someone to investigate this matter immediately, but it will take time."

"How should we deal with this mysterious man in black robes next?"

At this time, Lu Tiancheng had to admit that Qin Chen was indeed very capable. If it weren't for Qin Chen, they would still be at a loss and have no direction at all.

“President Lu stays in the Song family to protect the Song family.”

"The Song family used all their connections and resources to collect as many spiritual materials as possible from the list given by the mysterious man in black robe."

"Since he wants spiritual materials, he will definitely look for the Song family again. He will definitely show up again."
