Shushan: Extinction

Chapter 221: Purifying Blood

Wu Lanzhi was stunned. She lowered her head to pick up the letter, opened it, and her face suddenly turned pale.

The letter recorded in detail how the Wu family instructed the Tianji business gang to suppress Cuiji Warehouse, even including details such as intercepting goods and cutting ears as a protest.

"This is a false accusation!"

Wu Lanzhi tried to explain herself with a trembling voice.

Chen Yunsheng's eyes were like knives, and he said coldly:

"False accusation? You know what? It's okay to do something wrong, and it's okay to misjudge someone, but if you mess up and still insist on it, that's stupid!!"

"As my son, you can be lazy, stupid, idle, and bully other boys and girls, but you can never be a fool."

"Otherwise, it would be fine if you died, but bringing disaster to the family would be the most terrible thing. If it was the Third Brother who asked you to say these words, then I am very disappointed."

Wu Lanzhi was speechless for a moment, with beads of sweat oozing from her forehead. She bit her lip and whispered:

"My dear, I am also thinking about Feilin. After all, he is the third son of the Marquis's Mansion, and I think the seventh son may be his right-hand man, so I used some tricks to make the brothers united."

"enough!"

Chen Yunsheng interrupted sharply, his tone carrying unquestionable majesty:
"It's not your turn to interfere in the affairs of the Marquis' Mansion. If the Wu family dares to stir up trouble again, don't blame me for being ruthless!"

Wu Lanzhi trembled all over, tears welled up in her eyes:

"My dear, I know I was wrong."

Chen Yunsheng turned his back and said in a cold tone:
"Go down. Remember, this is the last time."

Wu Lanzhi gritted her teeth, bowed her head, and turned to leave. Her back seemed a little staggering, and she had lost the composure she had when she came.

In the study, Chen Yunsheng stood in front of the mountain and river map again, his eyes deep. Lao Zeng approached quietly and whispered:

"My Lord, the Third Madam..."

Chen Yunsheng waved his hand, his tone somewhat tired:

"No need to say more. Pass the order down and strengthen the guard of the Marquis' Mansion, especially Cui's warehouse. There must be no loss."

Lao Zeng nodded: "Yes, Lord."

Chen Yunsheng looked at the map and murmured in a low voice:

"I really didn't expect that Old Seven would make a splash if he made no noise?"

As for Gong Tianwu, of course he didn't know what was happening behind the scenes.

Now he has felt the importance of the ability to judge people, so he directly smashed out eight cause and effect points and obtained the corresponding clues to improve this ability.

This clue is very strange:
The time is: 15:15 in the afternoon, five days later.

Location: Under the stone archway next to Leibo Market.

Condition: Gong Tianwu must hold a fragile bottle in his hand, which must be filled with sheep's blood, and the sheep's blood must be mixed with a handful of dogwood and a handful of realgar.

So, when the time came, Gong Tianwu stood obediently under the stone archway, holding a celadon bottle in his hand.

The bottle was filled with dark red sheep's blood, in which a few dogwood fruits were floating, giving off a faint spicy scent.

His eyes were calm, yet there was a hint of anticipation in them.

This is the entrance to a large market. People are coming and going everywhere, and the sounds of hawking, talking and laughing are intertwined, creating a lively scene.

Time passed by minute by minute, and it was almost noon, but there was still no abnormality. Gong Tianwu frowned slightly, thinking to himself:
"Is there something wrong with the clue? Or did I understand it wrongly?"

Just as he was thinking, a cry suddenly came from a distance: "The horse is startled! Get out of the way!"

The crowd suddenly became agitated, and a tall black horse was seen galloping from the corner of the street. The sound of its hooves was like thunder, raising a cloud of dust.

There was no one on the horse, and it was obviously frightened. Pedestrians on the road avoided it, and the scene was in chaos, which quickly spread to the archway.

Gong Tianwu stood where he was, staring at the frightened horse, feeling vaguely that things were not simple.

Suddenly, he heard a scream from behind him, and then he was pushed hard and his body leaned forward involuntarily.

The celadon bottle in his hand slipped out of his hand, fell to the ground, and broke into pieces with a "pop".

In an instant, the sheep's blood mixed with dogwood powder in the bottle splashed all over the ground, and the dark red liquid splashed on the leg of a passerby nearby.

The man was wearing coarse cloth and looked like an ordinary farmer, but after being splashed with the sheep's blood, his face immediately changed color. Then he looked at Gong Tianwu with resentment, and it seemed that he was about to turn hostile at any time.

It was just broad daylight at this time, and there were many people around, so the man twitched his nose, as if he was trying to remember something, then turned around and walked away, soon disappearing.

Gong Tianwu certainly would not come alone. At this time, Hasar and others also rushed over to protect him. Gong Tianwu smiled and said:

"That's it, I know."

Then he said to Hasar:
"Go back and tell my mother that I will not be returning to the Marquis' Mansion tonight."

***
Weiye,

Gong Tianwu sat in the farm's study, holding an ancient book in his hand. Under the candlelight, his face looked particularly calm. The window of the study was half open, and the night breeze blew gently, bringing a hint of coolness.

However, Gong Tianwu's mind was not on the book at this time. His spiritual sense had reached about 50 points after deliberate improvement. Now he was using all his strength to understand the situation near the farm clearly.

Suddenly, Gong Tianwu raised his eyebrows and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth:
"coming."

It turned out that a man was walking slowly on the path outside the farm. He was none other than the guy who was splashed with sheep's blood during the day.

After this person arrived at the backyard of the farm, he did not make any movement but simply climbed over the wall and entered the yard.

But at this moment, a clapper sounded, and instantly many lanterns and torches were raised nearby, illuminating the yard brightly, and then more than twenty archers stood up at the same time.

The man's eyes suddenly showed shock, but then a grim smile appeared on his lips:

"Haha, you're actually on guard?"

Gong Tianwu walked out slowly at this time and said calmly:
"Someone has predicted that I will have a great disaster today. It looks like it will happen to you."

The man laughed strangely and said:
"You actually violated my body in broad daylight! Now today is the day when you will neither be able to live nor die."

As he spoke, his body rapidly expanded and turned into a demonic form, revealing a skinny and bony torso with strange demonic patterns on his body.

Then, sharp claws grew on the palms of his hands and soles of his feet. His mouth quickly bulged outward and was covered with fine hair. His eyes glowed with a faint green light, making him look particularly ferocious.

After this guy revealed his true form, he turned out to be a demon! !

There is an idiom called "狼狈为奸", which refers to this very unique creature, which is famous for its treachery and viciousness.

At this time, the beast had three tails, which meant that it had been practicing for more than two hundred years and was already a powerful monster. Hasar shouted:

"Fire arrows!"

Suddenly, "chi chi chi" sounds were heard all around, and a rain of arrows flew towards the monster.

The monster suddenly let out a strange howl, making the people nearby dizzy and staggering. At the same time, it swung its claws violently, and a gust of black wind swirled around it, which actually blew away the flying arrows.

It looked at all this and let out a strange "hehe" laugh. After all, in its consciousness, ordinary mortals were just chickens and dogs that could be killed at will.

Immediately afterwards, the monster rushed towards Gong Tianwu fiercely.

It also realized that this person should be the leader. To catch a thief, one must first catch the leader. As long as this person is killed, the enemy will collapse without a fight.

Just when the monster rushed to the study corridor, it felt its feet go soft, probably triggering some mechanism. Then it saw a "boom" sound in front of it, and a huge net suddenly stood up.

This big net even looked somewhat like a football goal. The wolf-comb was sprinting at full speed and suddenly couldn't stop his feet and crashed right into it.

What's even more exaggerated is that this big web is covered with swim bladder glue. Once it touches the body of the monster, it will stick to it tightly, making it impossible for it to get rid of it.

So the monster immediately lost its balance and fell to the ground. When it tried to get up, it was entangled in the big net.

At this time, Hasar waved his hand again and sneered:
"Fire arrows!"

At Hasar's command, a dozen people stood up from the side.

And this group of people are the elite Wulou Guards under Gong Tianwu. They have all been recognized and, like Hasar, have practiced the Wulou body and reached the level of martial artists. Then they just raise their hands and shoot!
The arrows they shot could be said to have doubled their power.

Although the wolf-comb was ferocious, it was extremely difficult to escape after being trapped in the net, so it was shot by several arrows in an instant, and the blood immediately dyed its hair red.

After being injured, the wolf-comb became extremely ferocious and let out a shrill roar. The hair on its body suddenly stood up and turned into countless steel needles that shot out in all directions.

"Be careful!" Hasar shouted loudly and raised a shield to block Gong Tianwu.

There was a clanging sound from the shield, and the monster's fur shot out, with a power comparable to that of a strong bow and arrow.

The surrounding soldiers either dodged or raised their shields to block, but some were still shot and screams were heard one after another.

Seizing this opportunity, the wolf-hound gnawed and pried, taking the opportunity to break free from the sticky net, his eyes full of madness:
"Ahhhhh!! You ants, how dare you hurt me!"

But Gong Tianwu had already taken out the Holy Luo Order and put it to his lips and blew it gently.

Suddenly, silent sound waves spread out in the air.

The wolf-like monster suddenly froze, and a trace of confusion flashed in its eyes, as if it had fallen into some kind of illusion. Its movements became slow, and its body swayed, as if it was drunk.

Before Gong Tianwu could say anything, two black shadows rushed out from his side and pounced on the monster.

These were the two dogs he raised with wolf demon blood - Big Ears and Red Hair.

Big Ears has a slender body, ears as big as a palm-leaf fan, and his eyes sparkle with a faint green light.

It leaped up and opened its mouth to bite the wolf-monster's throat. Although the wolf-monster was cunning and vicious, it was slow under the influence of the True Feather Heart Technique and barely avoided the vital points. It was bitten on the side of the neck by Big Ears, and its sharp fangs penetrated deep into the flesh.

The red-haired man pounced from the side, let out a low growl, and then bit the monster's hind legs, shaking his head and tearing at them.

The wolf-comb let out a shrill scream and struggled hard in an attempt to resist.

But there was already a burly man in heavy armor on the roof, rushing down. It was Tarzan, who was born with supernatural powers.

After he practiced the Wulou Jue, he was able to bring out his strengths to the fullest. He pinned the monster under him and then beat it violently with his fists.

After suffering a series of severe injuries, the monster was beaten madly by Tazan. It screamed in pain, with its mouth, eyes and nose twisted and blood dripping!

To be honest, the positioning of the wolf-monster itself is that of a military strategist, hiding behind others to cast some magic spells, and then throwing some hair that turns into steel needles to launch sneak attacks.

At this time, it was surrounded by a group of people and dragged into the close combat mode that it feared the most. It was also pinned to the ground and beaten. It really couldn't do it even if it wanted to spit out the demon pill and die together.

After gritting his teeth and holding on for more than ten seconds, the wolf demon's eyes were already full of golden stars. He felt unbearable pain and vomited blood from his mouth. He could only scream loudly:

"Have mercy, have mercy! I know I was wrong."

It was quite smart and knew that if the opponent wanted to kill it, then Tarzan, who was on top of it, would not just use his fists, but would switch to a spear when he jumped down to end the battle directly.

Gong Tianwu waved his hand and said:

"Tied him up and brought him up."

The wolf-comb heaved a sigh of relief after hearing this - at least his life was saved for the time being.

After being escorted up, Gong Tianwu said calmly:
"Do you want to live or die?"

“To live, to live!!”

The wolf monster said hurriedly.

It raised its head, its eyes full of fear and pleading. After all, people are afraid of death, and monsters are even more afraid of death.

To cultivate from a wild beast into a monster, he had to endure so much suffering and experience so many life and death experiences to reach this point.

Gong Tianwu looked around and said:

"Hazard stays, the rest of you leave."

After the people around him left, Gong Tianwu cut a small cut on his hand with a dagger, and then moved close to the nose of the wolf-monster.

The wolf demon was a little confused. After his nose twitched a few times, he suddenly sensed the faint blood aura from Gong Tianwu and was immediately shocked:
“Ah??? Ah????”

Then it trembled all over, and its voice trembled a little:

"You...you actually have the White Saint bloodline?"

Gong Tianwu nodded slightly:
"It seems you have some vision. What's your name?"

Hasar next to him was also shocked.

After all, everyone on the grassland worships the Wolf God, and several Khans on the grassland claim that they have the blood of the Wolf God, so they like to drink blood and eat raw meat - of course, negative buffs such as pork tapeworm, hydatid worm, liver fluke, etc. are also maxed out, and their lifespans are particularly short.

Although Hasar didn't know what the "White Saint Bloodline" was at this time, he could see the panic and fear of the monster in front of him, and he had even more awe for his master.

The monster said in a bitter voice:
"My name is Bei Li. I am sorry for my ignorance and my wrongdoing. Please forgive me!"

Gong Tianwu said calmly:
"I brought you here on purpose because I heard that you have a way to purify the blood in my body?"

The wolf was shocked:
"How can a humble little demon like us master such a powerful secret technique?"
