Apocalypse: Why did you provoke her? She's a cultivator.

Chapter 123 Seeking Skin from a Tiger
The two men showed no shame whatsoever upon hearing Feng Weihua's words.

It was clear that Feng Weihua had hit the nail on the head, but they didn't think they were wrong at all.

Those who are not on our side should naturally be eliminated.

Therefore, Feng Weihua did not feel that he had done anything wrong.

Those two knew they had fallen into someone else's hands and their fate was likely to be grim.

The two exchanged a glance, their eyes filled with determination, and their tightly closed lips moved slightly.

"Take their jaws off!"

By the time Feng Weihua realized something was wrong, it was too late.

The two men revealed triumphant smiles, opening their bloody mouths in a sinister and terrifying grin.

Two people instantly darted to the two men's sides, reached out and grabbed their chins, then twisted them.

Their jaws were dislocated, but unfortunately, the two men were already dead.

Seeing this, the remaining three also tried to commit suicide by swallowing pills, but someone with quick eyes and hands dislocated their jaws.

The three were taken into custody. Li Hongbo waved his hand, signaling for the three to be taken away.

After they are taken away, someone will naturally pry all the information out of them and then hand it over to Li Hongbo.

Looking at the mess in the office, Li Hongbo said with regret, "These are all top-quality office furniture, and they've been destroyed like this. It's such a pity."

"It's a pity," Feng Weihua echoed, then asked the most important question after tonight, "What are your plans for the future?"

They killed the men sent by Wu Heshu and Yu Zelun tonight, and this feud is bound to be formed.

There will definitely be assassination attempts in the future, so they must plan their escape route.

Li Hongbo placed his hands on his lower back, walked to the window, and gazed leisurely outside.

He had been thinking about this all afternoon, and finally decided to lead the Lincheng army away from Xin'an City and continue to migrate to the state city base.

"I've decided to make some preparations in the next couple of days, and then lead the Lincheng army out of Xin'an City to continue our journey to the state capital base," Li Hongbo said, his voice filled with worry.

Upon hearing this, Feng Weihua's brows furrowed involuntarily.

"I'm afraid some people don't want us to leave."

Li Hongbo: "There's nothing we can do about it. The waters in Xin'an City are too deep. If we don't want to get involved, we'd better leave as soon as possible."

Intelligence indicates that Wu Heshu controls most of the power in Xin'an City, making it extremely difficult for Mu Zhenzhong to eliminate him.

Moreover, Wu Heshu was a ruthless, lewd, and immoral person.

Yu Zelun secretly abducted many women for him, and under Wu Heshu's cruel methods, some died and others were maimed.

Unfortunately, Wu Heshu held absolute power in Xin'an City. If the victims' families dared to seek justice from anyone, the entire family would die a violent death within a few days.

Therefore, many victims' families dare not be angry or speak out, just in order to live a good life.

As for Mu Zhenzhong, judging from the reported intelligence, he doesn't seem to have any major problems and is fairly fair-minded.

But after being schemed against by him this time, Li Hongbo didn't have a good impression of him.

I just felt that Mu Zhenzhong was a scheming and cunning person, not a good person.

He didn't want to collude with someone like Wu Heshu, nor did he want to cooperate with someone as cunning as Mu Zhenzhong.

That's like asking a tiger for its skin!

However, how to leave Xin'an City still needs careful planning.

……

"Deputy Commander Mu, our people have discovered that Feng Weihua led Yu Zelun's men to the area where the Lincheng army is located."

Officer Chen stood respectfully in front of Mu Zhenzhong, his head slightly bowed.

"Oh?" Mu Zhenzhong closed the document in his hand. "It seems we'll soon be able to add another force to our ranks."

Officer Chen smiled without saying a word; now he finally understood. That afternoon, Mu Zhenzhong personally went to Li Hongbo's place for his purpose.

It turned out that this was all to make Wu Heshu believe that Li Hongbo was already one of their people.

This would lead Wu Heshu to deal with Li Hongbo and push Li Hongbo into their camp.

In the past few days, Wu Heshu and Deputy Chief Mu have both sent people to invite Li Hongbo, but Li Hongbo is quite shrewd and actually wants to stay out of the conflict between the two sides.

How is this possible?
The Lincheng army behind Li Hongbo is a formidable force. No matter which side he joins, he will inevitably become a thorn in the side of the other.

However, if one does not join one of the factions, one will still be feared by both factions.

“But what if he still refuses to submit to us?” Officer Chen asked.

Mu Zhenzhong chuckled and said, "They have already offended Wu Heshu. If they still refuse to submit to us, we can naturally find someone else who is willing to submit to us."

Besides, could he possibly withstand an assassination attempt by both me and Wu Heshu?

Officer Chen was startled, sensing the terrifying aura emanating from Mu Zhenzhong, and immediately fell silent.

At this moment, the scene on Wu Heshu's side was exactly the opposite of that on Mu Zhenzhong's side.

In a dark, secret room, Wu Heshu was frantically whipping a woman hanging on the wall with a leather whip.

The woman had a beautiful face and wore a light, long dress.

At this moment, her body was covered in whip marks and dripping with blood, a shocking sight.

The woman in the shirt, who was tied up to the side, looked at the woman in the long dress, who was beaten to the point of near death, her face pale with terror.

She was so scared that she was trembling all over and couldn't say a word.

You could tell from her eyes that she was on the verge of a breakdown due to extreme tension.

Wu Heshu was panting heavily, his hand tired from whipping.

The woman in the long dress went from screaming in agony to barely breathing.

Wu Heshu looked at the woman covered in wounds in front of him, his eyes sparkling with excitement, as if he were looking at a perfect work of art.

Only after the woman stopped breathing did Wu Heshu press a red button on the wall.

The door opened quickly, and two people walked in, expertly dragging the lifeless woman out.

As soon as the woman in the shirt saw someone enter, her will to survive made her cry out, "Help me, help me..."

Her voice caught Wu Heshu's attention.

"Jie Jie Jie!"

Wu Heshu smiled sinisterly, his gaze falling on the woman's face, a hint of satisfaction flashing in his eyes.

Under Wu Heshu's sinister gaze, the woman completely broke down and fainted from fright.

Wu Heshu picked up the leather whip and had just raised his hand when Yu Zelun's voice suddenly came from outside the door.

"Chief Wu, we can't get in touch with the people we sent to Feng Weihua."

Upon hearing this, Wu Heshu casually tossed aside the whip in his hand, turned around, opened the door, and left.

"what happened?"

Having just vented his anger, Wu Heshu still carried a strong aura of resentment.

Previously, Wu Heshu had entrusted Yu Zelun with handling the matter of Li Hongbo's defection to Mu Zhenzhong.

Therefore, Wu Heshu was unaware that Yu Zelun wanted Feng Weihua to replace Li Hongbo in order to control the Lincheng army.

But now that the person he sent to help Feng Weihua has disappeared, he has no choice but to come and tell Wu Heshu.

Yu Zelun dared not hide anything and told him the whole plan he had arranged.

Upon learning that they might have lost two Level 6 ability users, Wu Heshu was so angry that he kicked Yu Zelun away.
