Unrivaled Miracle Doctor: The God-Defying Demonic Consort-Chapter 378: The Elder Is So Strange (9)

Their Young Master enjoys manipulating others and playing games. However, he prefers watching from the sidelines. If he were dragged into the situation, Chu Sheng could imagine his own miserable end even with little thought.

After saying this, the two immediately went about their tasks separately.

Meanwhile, Mu Qingge, lying on the treetop, narrowed her eyes slightly and murmured, "Young Master?"

It seems she’s found the true mastermind behind the scenes!

Not fond of being involved in your own orchestrated game? That’s not something you can decide! A dangerous gleam flickered in Mu Qingge’s eyes.

The target of that gleam was none other than the Young Master of the Wanxiang Building!

"Achoo!"

Inside a carriage heading towards Yu Zhi Town, a sneeze suddenly broke the silence.

The rider accompanying the carriage immediately approached the window, bowed, and asked, "Young Master, are you unwell?"

"Hmm, I wonder which young lady is thinking of me." A pleasing yet exceptionally lazy male voice came through, making it feel as if it was crawling into one’s ear, causing a tickling sensation.

...

In the forest connecting Zhi City and Yu Zhi Town, over a thousand people were meticulously searching.

As they delved deeper, the various factions gradually separated, blocked by the layers of tree shadows, which obscured each other’s presence.

Suddenly, one of the searchers felt something trip him, losing his balance and pitching forward. Just as he was about to cry out in surprise, a sharp branch pierced his throat with deadly precision.

Without even a chance to utter a sound, he died instantly.

When his companions finally discovered his whereabouts, they found him already dead. It seemed as though a humble vine had tripped him, causing him to fall onto a protruding sharp branch buried in the soil, which pierced his throat.

Everything seemed to be just an accident.

However, similar ’accidents’ were silently infiltrating this group of a thousand people.

By the time daylight broke, the thousand-strong force from Zhi City took notice during their rest, that unbeknownst to them, nearly a hundred had perished.

This result horrified everyone!

This forest, once familiar to them, suddenly appeared formidable!

The most terrifying part was that the person they were hunting for had yet to be seen, yet their numbers had diminished significantly.

The heads of each faction wore grim expressions.

They quickly dispatched individuals to communicate with nearby factions, and soon, the scattered thousand-strong force regrouped.

Upon meeting again, they noticed that Nie Xiong’s face was equally sullen.

Upon inquiry, they found out that during this period, the Nie Family had also lost three Yellow Realm juniors.

No wonder then, Nie Xiong’s face looked as if he had just eaten something foul.

Everyone fell silent, not daring to provoke this bad fortune.

Only Zhu Li, with his good luck, appeared unscathed without any casualties in his group. At this moment, seeing everyone’s stern faces, his eyes shone with a frigid light as he said, "Are you afraid of a mere fledgling? These are just a few accidents."

"Humph! Accidents? A few people might be an accident, but this is nearly a hundred!" Someone expressed dissatisfaction.

"So what if it’s nearly a hundred? It’s dark at night, and failing to see the path is normal. Were you all planning to back off? Humph, such cowards! You’re all scared by a forest, whereas I reckon these deaths were all because of that Mu kid! If he hadn’t fled into this forest, would your people have died?" Zhu Li said, as if it were completely natural.

It was as if everything started because of Mu Qingge, completely ignoring the fact that if not for their greed to seize the Nine Lives Reversal Pill from Mu Qingge, would they have fallen into the trap?

Swayed by Zhu Li’s words, someone, with reddened eyes, angrily said, "Exactly! It’s all because of that Mu kid! Now it’s daylight, and I’d like to see where else he can hide! Once we find him, we must skin and dismember him to vent my anger!"

This agitated display suggested that someone dear to him was among those nearly a hundred dead.

"Enough! It’s daylight now. That Mu kid can no longer hide. Let’s set out immediately and drag him out. We’ll deal with him as we please, whether it’s dismemberment or skinning!" Nie Xiong shouted sternly, his words filled with killing intent.

Dan Chenzi and Chu Sheng, hiding in the shadows, once again moved together because of this gathering.

Hearing Nie Xiong’s words, Chu Sheng disdained and said, "Just accidents, and yet they blame Young Master Mu. These people have no shame!"

"Accidents?" Dan Chenzi snorted coldly. His eyes slightly narrowed as he thought to himself: The truth likely isn’t that simple. If those deaths are indeed related to Mu Qingge, he is no ordinary figure, and the Young Master might find himself in trouble. No, I must quickly notify the Young Master!
