Chapter 412 - 405: Primordial Chaos
Second floor, by the window.
Chen Mu squinted his eyes, lying on the rocking chair.
"Pillar of people?"
"That doesn’t sound very proper," he frowned deeply.
Hadn’t it been just a few days of peace?
Was someone up to something again?
If chaos erupted on the mountain, how could I continue to peacefully grind for experience?
A chilling light flashed in Chen Mu’s eyes.
"Since you all won’t behave, don’t blame me for being ruthless!"
...
"Someone’s plotting for wealth and murder, wanting to bring disaster to Jilong Mountain; Elder Brother, are you going to do something about it?!"@@@@
Two days later, in the evening, Chen Mu looked solemnly across the round table on the porch, "I want to make a report!"
Mo Wuzhou picked up a piece of boiled meat and stuffed it into his mouth, his eyes filled with surprise.
"Who dares to mess with Brother Chen?"
"You didn’t directly kill them? And you’re coming to me to complain?"
"How odd!"
Chen Mu looked displeased, "What are you saying, Elder Brother! I am a law-abiding and kindhearted person, how could I commit such atrocities!"
Mo Wuzhou was at a loss for words, forgetting to swallow the meat in his mouth.
"You don’t believe me?" Chen Mu stared angrily at Mo Wuzhou, his neck stiff.
"Do you believe yourself?" Mo Wuzhou’s face was expressionless.
"I believe!" Chen Mu said earnestly, then slapped his hand on a big toad’s belly, "Yuanbao believes too!"
The big toad’s eyelids drooped, looking at the ripples on its belly, and weakly opened its mouth to agree.
"Croak..."
Mo Wuzhou: "..."
Fine, have it your way.
"Since Elder Brother doesn’t believe me," Chen Mu lamented deeply, "I’ll make an effort to tell you."
I don’t want to listen!
Mo Wuzhou rolled his eyes.
But as if Chen Mu couldn’t see that gesture, he went on and on, "Three days ago, I had a friend who couldn’t sleep and went out for a walk in the middle of the night..."
Mo Wuzhou looked helpless, but the more he listened, the more he felt something was amiss.
Pillar of people? And they want to bury it in Jilong Mountain?
"Do you have any more information, Junior Brother?" he had to ask earnestly.
Chen Mu flipped his wrist, and a small blue booklet appeared in his hand.
With the Magic Sword and Truthful Listening working together, it only took him two days to figure out the identity and whereabouts of a group of people in black. He had even compiled a report early, just waiting to hand it over to Mo Wuzhou for inspection.
Mo Wuzhou stared at the brand-new booklet handed to him, really not wanting to accept it.
Isn’t your intention to use me to do your dirty work a bit too obvious!
As if Chen Mu couldn’t see Mo Wuzhou’s reluctance, he forced the booklet into his hands, even considerately helping Mo Wuzhou analyze and calculate their strategy.
"Those people can turn into shadows; I guess ordinary blunt hits won’t be very effective against them. We should use law swords and flying daggers or other sharp weapons. If we have the Thunder Fire Explosion Secret Law, even better!"
"They’re also adept at hiding in shadows, so it’s best to ambush them during the day, and prepare some glowing fire methods, which will leave them nowhere to hide."
"Senior brother, remember to have the Inspection Courtyard set up some isolation and confinement measures, those people move fast, and we can’t let them get away."
"And also..."
Mo Wuzhou glanced sideways.
You’re asking me to wipe them out completely.
And you still dare to call yourself a good person?
...
In the residential area on the edge of Jilong Mountain Market District, within a vacant estate.
The dilapidated bungalow across the street was the hideout of the leading figure in black mentioned in the records.
Knowing that a group on Jilong Mountain was preparing to use an Evil Method, Mo Wuzhou couldn’t even enjoy his meal. He immediately contacted the head of the Inspection Courtyard, bringing a group of inspectors dressed in black to stealthily infiltrate the area.
Before their arrival, the Inspection Courtyard had already verified and indeed discovered that many people had gone missing recently.
Most of these people were preparing to head to the newly established Lower Courtyard. Although they had completed the handover at Jilong Mountain, they never arrived at the new Lower Courtyard.
It was originally thought to be an accident en route, but now it seems very likely that they’ve all been killed by this group in black.
"Damn it!"
"I’m sure you can understand my point of view."
Chen Mu, looking content, patted his hands together as the ground rippled beneath him, and he disappeared into the earth.
Before long, the short and plump figure emerged from the Yellow Bud Rice fields, scratching his head while looking down at the white Bone Powder on the ground, utterly puzzled.
"Did I just hear a thunderclap?"
"Could it be because I stayed up too late cultivating immortality last night?"
"I really need to eat something good to make up for it."
...
The Inspection Courtyard investigated for some time, but came up with nothing.
Mo Wuzhou even came by to inquire with Chen Mu. But he genuinely knew nothing about those people’s origins and couldn’t provide any more details. Other than reporting it and strengthening their guard, there was nothing more to be done and it was left at that.
Peace was restored on Jilong Mountain, and Chen Mu continued his home cultivation.
He called down the Thunder Law upon himself daily, later using the Soul Capturing Return to Origin Technique for rapid recovery.
His body’s strength gradually increased, and occasionally within his heart, a pulse different from his heartbeat emerged—a new Secret Orifice was being nurtured. Everything was progressing in an orderly manner.
...
That day.
Under the evening sun, on the front porch.
Chen Mu lay in a rocking chair with a giant toad squatting beside him.
The fiery red sunset hung in the sky as disciples bustling about in the terraced fields started to return.
Chen Mu, enjoying the warm sensation of the sunset on his face, was reluctant to open his eyes.
As if struck by a thought, he lazily reached out his hand and gently prodded the big toad’s pearly white belly.
"Yuanbao, tell me, does Replenishing Origin Soup really speed up your cultivation?"
The big toad paid him no mind, squatting motionless on the ground with half-closed eyes.
"Hey!"
Chen Mu poked its belly again.
The big toad sluggishly scratched its belly with its webbed foot.
"Croak."
"Ticklish?"
"Ticklish it is, then!"
"If you don’t tell the truth, I won’t brew the Replenishing Origin Soup for you!" Chen Mu threatened.
The big toad indifferently batted away Chen Mu’s hand as it reached out again.
"Croak!"
"Not frightened?" Chen Mu exclaimed in surprise.
"So, your strength is growing faster not because of the Replenishing Origin Soup?"
The big toad stiffened and remained motionless, pretending not to hear.
"Spill it! What’s going on?" Chen Mu poked vigorously at the toad’s belly.
"Croak..." the big toad lethargically swatted Chen Mu’s hand away, calling out weakly.
"I have the Chaotic Primordial Qi around me? What is that exactly? How come I’ve never noticed it?"
Now Chen Mu was genuinely astonished.
"Croak."

"How can you not know!" Chen Mu poked and prodded at the big toad’s belly persistently.
The big toad dodged left and right, full of helplessness.
"Croak!"
"That’s all that’s in your head, nothing else?"
"So, this is a message hidden within the bloodline of your Cold Moon Toad lineage?" Chen Mu suddenly understood, then immediately glared at the big toad, full of dissatisfaction.
"Even if your ancestors didn’t tell you more, couldn’t you go to the Scripture Transmission Institute to read and study?"
The toad’s eyes popped open wide at these words.
Expect me, a demon beast, to read and study? Listen to yourself!
"Why are you glaring at me?"
"Still claiming to be an enlightened demon beast."
"Such a foolish big toad!"
Yuanbao: "..."
You must be seriously ill!
