Some people stood a little further away with their arms crossed, simply there to watch the excitement and stir things up.

"Murong Fu, get out here!" a burly man with a thick beard roared.

"that is!"

"Your Murong family killed our brothers. If you don't give us an explanation today, this matter is not over!"

"Murong Fu, we know you're in the manor, don't pretend you're deaf and dumb!"

"If you don't come out in another fifteen minutes, don't blame us for being ruthless and storming in!"

Just then, the gate of the manor slowly opened.

Murong Fu, his face grim, suppressed his anger and led his four retainers and a group of guards out of the manor.

When did the Murong family, the most powerful force in Gusu City, ever get their doorstep blocked and cursed like this?

This is an absolute disgrace!

He forced himself to maintain his composure and bowed to the crowd, saying, "Gentlemen!"

"I am Murong Fu. May I ask what brings you all to my Canhe Manor today?"

"I suspect there might be some misunderstanding here?"

"Misunderstanding? There's no misunderstanding!"

The burly man with the bushy beard stepped forward, his ghost-headed saber pointing directly at Murong Fu.

"Murong Fu, a life for a life, a debt for a debt, it's only right and proper!"

"Your Murong family killed my patriarch, you must give us an explanation today!"

"Yes, and my two older brothers as well."

"One of my family's guest advisors..."

Upon hearing this, Murong Fu was taken aback, as he hadn't killed anyone recently.

I also haven't heard of any subordinates acting carelessly outside the office and causing any trouble.

Seeing that Murong Fu was still pretending to be stupid and acting as if he knew nothing, the burly man with the bushy beard sneered repeatedly in anger.

"You're pretending!"

"You were also present at the Leigu Mountain incident. That evil monk killed our brothers and elders..."

"Stop your nonsense and hand over that wicked monk!"

"Leigu Mountain? A demonic monk?"

Murong Fu was taken aback at first, then realized what was happening.

His face turned ashen, and he said coldly, "I don't know that evil monk at all, and he has absolutely no connection with my Murong family!"

"Similarly, the actions of that evil monk have nothing to do with our Canhe Manor!"

"Hahaha!"

The burly man with the bushy beard sneered as if he had heard the biggest joke in the world, "Murong Fu, you're kidding me!"

"Someone personally witnessed that evil monk swaggering out of your Canhe Manor!"

"Moreover, on Leigu Mountain, that demonic monk clearly used your Murong family's ultimate technique—Dou Zhuan Xing Yi!"

"Are you telling me now that it's none of my business?"

"Do you think we're all three-year-olds, that you can fool us?!"

Murong Fu felt utterly speechless, and a surge of pent-up anger almost burst forth from his chest!

Why!

Why should that scoundrel who caused the trouble be made the scapegoat?!

He took a deep breath. "Then... what do you want?"

"Simple!"

The burly man with a bushy beard slammed his ghost-headed saber into the ground. "The dead are our beloved relatives, friends, and brothers."

“They have an eighty-year-old mother to support and an infant who is still breastfeeding. They all need to be raised, so each of them must be compensated with 100,000 taels of gold.”

"That's one point."

"Secondly, the Huanshi Water Pavilion of your Murong family will be open to us forces unconditionally for us to enter and view at will."

"Just these two conditions, simple, right?"

As he spoke, not only the burly man with the bushy beard, but also the people behind him, all showed extremely greedy expressions.

Ha ha.

People can actually laugh when they're speechless.

These people are trying to extort money from him, Murong Fu.

Just the fact that they coveted the He Shi Water Pavilion was enough to make these people court death.

"It seems that my Murong family has been dormant in the martial arts world for too long. Any Tom, Dick, or Harry dares to come to my Canhe Manor to extort money!"

As he spoke, a glint of light flashed in his eyes, "Go! Kill them all!"

Half an hour later.

Those who came to extort money were all killed on the spot!

Only a few onlookers in the distance, seeing that things were not going well, fled in panic.

"hateful!"

Murong Fu's face darkened. "You wicked monk, I will never let you get away with this!"

If it weren't for that wicked monk, the Murong family wouldn't have suffered this undeserved calamity.

Chapter 90 Ambush on the Way

Chen Mo and his companions were completely unaware of the turmoil in the martial arts world.

He and Mu Wanqing traveled westward, enjoying a leisurely journey of sightseeing and leisure.

For them, being on the road is a great form of spiritual practice.

Mu Wanqing was a little unhappy, after all, there was always a 'tail' following her like a shadow.

Wanwan followed at a distance, sometimes picking wildflowers, sometimes humming a little tune, just like a fellow traveler on the same road.

But Mu Wanqing could sense that the enchantress's seemingly casual gaze would occasionally fall on Chen Mo.

Alarm bells rang in her mind; this vixen seemed to have ulterior motives!

Just then, Chen Mo, who was walking at the front, suddenly stopped.

A slight smile played on his lips. Under the cover of his spiritual sense, hundreds of auras lay lurking deep within the seemingly peaceful jungle ahead.

Although these people tried their best to hide their aura, how could they possibly fool him?

Mu Wanqing and Wanwan behind her sensed something almost simultaneously and stopped as well.

After all, it was too quiet all around; even the sounds of birds chirping and insects buzzing had disappeared.

It was as if an invisible, chilling aura was faintly permeating the air.

"Amitabha."

Chen Mo clasped his hands together and said in a calm voice, "Isn't it a pleasure to have friends coming from afar?"

"I am unworthy of such a great honor as to have so many heroes gathered here."

"Why...why not just show yourself?!"

Its sound traveled clearly to every corner within a radius of several miles, echoing among the trees.

The silence in the jungle was shattered the moment the words were spoken!

"We've been discovered!"

"Go out and die with that evil monk!"

"kill!"

Whoosh whoosh! !

The sound of air being torn apart rose up, accompanied by chaotic roars, and hundreds of figures suddenly sprang out from behind trees, bushes, and boulders!

These men were all fierce-looking, their weapons gleaming coldly.

Broadswords, spears, hammers, chain guns, and folding fans...

All sorts of weapons were available, and they instantly surrounded Chen Mo and his companions.

This force should not be underestimated; it actually includes four powerful late-stage Innate Realm experts.

There were also more than ten experts at the Acquired Realm, and most of the others were at the First-Class Realm.

Such a lineup, if placed in the martial arts world, could support a formidable first-rate force.

A man wearing steel claws, who was at the head of the group, walked out with a sinister grin.

He stared at Chen Mo and sneered, "I didn't expect you, little bald monk, to have such sharp senses. We've laid a trap here, and you still managed to detect it!"

"But... it doesn't matter if they find out!"

Its steel claws clashed together, producing a piercing grinding sound, and it roared murderously, "I'll just kill you right here and now, and take your head to claim the reward!"

"At that time, the name of Ghost Hand Fang Hong will surely resound throughout the entire martial arts world!"

As soon as he finished speaking, a giant man with a burly build, as tall as an iron tower, walked out carrying a huge axe.

He roared in a booming voice, "Brother Fang, this demonic monk's head is my target, don't even think about taking it from me!"

The newcomer was none other than Shi Zhentian, the Mountain-Splitter!

Immediately afterwards, a man with a sinister face and palms that were faintly tinged with red hue chuckled sinisterly.

"Hehe, it doesn't matter who kills him, I just want the 'Dissolving Power Technique' on that demonic monk's body, and the Divine Wood King Cauldron."
