Shang Ren looked extremely shocked when he saw a mouth that appeared from deep in the ground and directly swallowed Mu Chen Xiao as he pushed him backwards. And along with the loss of the big mouth earlier, suddenly the atmosphere around them felt cooler than usual. The ghosts that appeared from within the ground, instantly disappeared and the corpses that were all around them, turned into ashes and scattered as a huge wind passed through them all.
Back then, many saw how Shang Ren pushed hard on Mu Chen Xiao to make it a meal for the ghosts. And the only person who seemed to be very angry about it was, Zhao Bingyan who had sharpened her sword back and then she stabbed Shang Ren's right chest in front of her without giving him a chance to explain.
"It turns out, the villain is here. I'm so sorry for letting him talk to you." Said Zhao Bingyan coldly as he continued to push his sword and stab even deeper.
Although Shang Ren was already bleeding, no one dared to defend him because they all thought that he was doing it on purpose. This is a trap that is deliberately made neat to trap Shang Ren so that he looks like a criminal when in fact, he is, he only wanted to help because he saw a ghost under his feet and they were opening their mouths.
"yes too. For a long time, I was destined to be a criminal. Why do you think of me as a good person?" Shang Ren grinned while giving a cold look at everyone who was there. "... Why should anyone interfere in my family? Zhao Qian Yue, Mu Qian Yue you are such a troublemaker!"
”He called a woman surnamed Zhao native?” zhao Bingyan's inner self was shocked yet, he still pushed his sword even deeper.
Drop after drop of blood, emerged from within Shang Ren's body as well as the sword belonging to Zhao Bingyan which began to be covered in blood. Even to death, Zhao Bingyan did not seem to be forgiving him and he was still not satisfied even though Shang Ren was bleeding.
"What's your reason for setting him up?!" Zhao Bingyan asked with a serious expression.
Shang Ren smirked and replied, "You're a murderer!" Shang Ren's reply that managed to make Zhao Bingyan was surprised by his words. "I've helped you kill hundreds of ghosts and is this the payback I got?"
"Curtain! A liar! One could sacrifice one's partner to get what one wants!" Zhao Bingyan said resolutely and drew Shang Ren's growing anger that he replied, "That's all, Just like you did to the other big families!"
Zhao Bingyan was shocked and she was silent for a while before Shang Ren finally resumed his sentence, "... I know you're a killer. Do you remember the massacre of the Gu family two years ago? You hired people in Luoyang city to kill them. Then, what happened six years ago, you must have remembered very well when you killed a con artist named Qian Yue with your own sword, right? Then, you feel so guilty for killing someone who has done you a lot of good. You took the helpless Mu Chen Xiao in the battleground and took care of him until now, it must be because of your regret towards the Qian Yue family, right?!" Shang Ren said loudly after he managed to leave Zhao Bingyan speechless.
After everything had been proven by Zhao Bingyan's silence when Shang Ren was busy talking about it, Yan Fengying finally walked towards the two of them and touched Zhao Bingyan's sword when she was already before him at this moment. "... It's useless! You'll kill him if you don't let go of this dirty sword of yours." Said Yan Fengying while giving Zhao Bingyan a cold and disappointed look.
Zhao Bingyan gritted her teeth and she did not stop continuing to press her sword even deeper. He did not care at all about what Yan Fengying said and he would still kill him even though Shang Ren already knew all about his past. "... Actually, what's your relationship with him? Why are you always bothering him and even interested in his true abilities?" Zhao Bingyan asked after she again injured Shang Ren even more deeply.
"I told you to take off your dirty sword!" Snapped at Yan Fengying who was trying to release the sword that stuck into Shang Ren's right chest.
Shang Ren smirked. "You yourself? As his master teacher, have you ever protected him even once in your lifetime?" Shang Ren asked coldly. "... Just look at the people here! No one moves to side with you!" He said once more while showing Zhao Bingyan the scene that was currently happening.
Then, not long after Shang Ren stopped his conversation, it was Yun Qing's turn to walk up to them while keeping his folding fan back under his clothes. "Grand teacher Shang Ren! Stop calling him a murderer!" Said Yun Qing who dodged all the words spoken by Shang Ren to corner Zhao Bingyan. "... If we keep talking, how can we save the kid? Isn't our purpose here to complete the task of the Palace?"
Hearing it, made Zhao Bingyan finally release her sword that had been covered in blood. He immediately cleaned it again and put it in the sheath. After he did so, Zhao Bingyan again walked into the forest following the direction of the wind that would lead him towards the Dao Xun valley without riding a horse since earlier, their horses have been eaten by hungry ghosts. And the rest, just follow him from behind without doubting him because he already knows where the wind is taking him.
The moment the others went to catch up with Zhao Bingyan, only Yun Qing remained who was still waiting for Gu Qiaomei to calm down after he heard what Shang Ren was talking about was really happening. ”It turns out he's a killer! That person who killed both my parents?!” muttered Gu Qiaomei whose voice until it sounded in Yun Qing's ear next to him.
Yun Qing stared dejectedly before he said, "Actually I doubt that my cousin has also been taught by him and until now, he also looks fine. Looks like you're wrong."
Meanwhile, in the Dao Xun valley that had evil and black spiritual energy. Unknowingly, Mu Chen Xiao was suddenly lying on the ground after being sucked in by a giant mouth that had swallowed him and brought him back out in the Dao Xun valley.
At that moment, Mu Chen Xiao who had been asleep for about an hour and slowly opened his eyes. At first, he felt that his vision looked blurry and then, not long after his eyes had returned to normal, he felt very surprised and almost hanging when he saw a creepy object lying in front of him.
It was a corpse without flesh and energy! Both of his eyeballs have been separated from his skin and some parts of his body, and have also been covered by hundreds of worms that feed on his entire internal organs.
”I think I'm gonna puke!” inner Mu Chen Xiao while covering his mouth which started to water with nausea when he saw the corpse in front of him at this moment.
Not long after, Mu Chen Xiao finally began to notice and was shocked when he saw Liu's fire seal also attached to the neck of the corpse. ”What do-not, he is king Xingyue's army? Am I going to die like this?” inner Mu Chen Xiao who felt disgusted and imagined when he would die in the same state as this corpse in front of him.
"It sucks! I am a handsome and courageous young man! Why do I have to die like this?!" Said Mu Chen Xiao with a feeling of anger.
[[Liu's fire seal cannot be removed even if the owner is dead. After obtaining Liu's fire seal, you will become one of Xingyue's king's troops and you must also die with him in the same state as what you see now. ]]
"DON'T ADD TO THE PROBLEM GOB—! BEG—! TOL—!" shouted Mu Chen Xiao who immediately scolded his system as he delivered a bad thing.
[[70% of you will actually die before the age of seventeen. ]]
"Huh?! What the fuck are you?! Wasn't there about 0.01 percent before so I could live even longer?"
[[Someone Just revealed the real identity of the main character Zhao Bingyan ]]
"What does this have to do with me if his identity is proven? I just want to be me and not depend on anyone else!"
[[Your life depends on the mood of main character Zhao Bingyan ]]
"Aah, man,... I don't want to hear! I'm gonna puke!" Mu Chen Xiao said as he covered both of his ears. ”... I thought, Shang Ren wants to kill me. But as it turned out, he only wanted to save me because there was a swarm of ghosts hiding under my feet. And unknowingly, that big mouth just appeared and just ate me alive! I guess, this is the pant— part. However, if what the system and the two Rongye sardines say is a truth, does that mean that I will soon be killed on the battlefield?” inner Mu Chen Xiao was trying to think.
And not long after her conversation with this system was over, a white-haired girl with blue hanfu lit up like a clear sky, suddenly just sitting on top of a mound of stone not far from her.
The girl had a zither being played by her and her hair was unraveling, starting to fly since the outside wind came at her. This girl, is Su Lingyu! The ghosts from the Dao Xun valley had previously freed hundreds of ghosts within the forest!
Feeling noticed, Su Lingyu finally stopped her play and stared at Mu Chen Xiao who was currently standing before her. ”That big mouth is completely useless! He even brought the wrong person for me!” inner Su Lingyu who then asked, "... Little boy! Looks like you're lost. Shall I take you home?"
