C57 (1/2)

Bai Mu couldn't hold back his tears and withdrew his hands. The woman's eyes flashed with disappointment because of this small action.

”Auntie, you got the wrong person!” ”My name isn't Xuan'er. My name is Bai Mu!” Then, without looking back, he walked towards the window and jumped down.

”Xuan'er, Xuan'er …” The woman ran to the window and wailed in agony.

The woman slid down to the ground as she watched Bai Mu's back disappear into the distance. Xuan'er, I know you must be blaming me. It was her mother's fault, it was her fault … ”Xuan'er, Xuan'er …” The woman repeatedly said that it was her fault, and again and again she called out the name of the person called Xuan'er.

Bai Mu, who hadn't left at all, leaned his back against the wall. As he listened to the woman's wails, tears unconsciously flowed down his cheeks. Wiping away his tears, he abruptly sped up his pace, sprinting madly towards a dark place …

”Xuan'er, don't worry. Mom will never give up on you. I will find you and let you return to my side.”

”Ahh!”

This was a small forest, so Bai Mu was probably tired of running. He leaned against a large tree and shouted fearlessly, hoping to soothe the chaotic mess in his heart.

”Yo, I didn't expect you to have feelings for that family.” A laugh echoed through the forest.

”Come out!” The pain on Bai Mu's face was quickly replaced by indifference.

Bai Mu had actually already noticed the change in the route beneath his feet. When he had left the Wang Family, he had planned to head home. Who knew that because of his distraction, that person had taken the opportunity to secretly change the route?

Regarding Bai Mu's discovery, he didn't reveal it, but remained calm and collected. This time, he definitely had to uncover the identity of the mastermind.

”Yo, you want me to come out isn't that simple? Eat the appetizer I prepared for you first.”

As he spoke, countless white shadows swarmed over from every direction of Five Mile Slope, and arrived in front of Bai Mu. The shadows transformed into physical entities, filling the entire five Mile Slope! All of them bared their fangs and brandished their claws as they glared viciously at Bai Mu.

”How is it? Are you satisfied with my things?” That voice was filled with pride and mockery towards Bai Mu.

”I'm not too satisfied, but Xu Cheng, I didn't expect you to change industries!” He looked at the relatively familiar group of souls. On the first day he returned, he had encountered their corpses and even had their heads explode. Naturally, their souls were injured as well. The head of this soul wasn't much better than it was right now.

However, with so many souls, it was obvious that he would not be able to escape from the recent headless murders in H City. However, he did not expect Xu Cheng to be so merciless as to deal with these innocent people. Recalling the events that had occurred in the past few days, as well as the mastermind behind it today, Bai Mu finally understood what was going on.

The moment they reached the mountain, they encountered the attacks of the manipulated mummies, followed by a series of uncontrollable murder cases. Then, the fact that Xiao Min was almost turned into a mummified corpse was all due to this Xu Cheng.

It seemed that this Xu Cheng was born to be a director. He had arranged so many good scenes for him. What he found strange was that this Xu Cheng's Soulreaper Lock had been taken away by the King of Hell. Why was he able to take in so many souls? Furthermore, he even had the ability to control them?

Moreover, he wouldn't allow Xu Cheng to trample over human lives. After so many people had died in the past few months, it was impossible for the King of Hell and the rest of them to not know that Xu Cheng had broken away from the King of Hell and had joined a force that not even the King of Hell could interfere with.

As for Xu Cheng, who was hiding in the dark, his body trembled when he heard his name. It was also because of this disturbance in its aura that its location was exposed. With a swoosh, a bunch of dark purple lights shot towards Xu Cheng's location like arrows.

Sensing a sudden surge of energy approaching, Xu Pang Ma jumped onto another tree and his body immediately transformed into a solid form. He knew that as long as Bai Mu had the Spiritual Energy, even if he himself had become ethereal, he would still be injured.

”So what if I know? ”Little bastards, attack!” Following Xu Cheng's order, those restless creatures pounced towards Bai Mu like hungry wolves. Bai Mu didn't mobilize his Spiritual Energy. Since they were solid, there was no need for it.

For a time, the sounds of a fist striking human flesh could be heard as the brute force and brute force clashed. As for Bai Mu, he was able to easily dodge the attacks of the corporeal ghosts.

However, Bai Mu was surprised to find that these ghosts seemed to be made of bronze. Their bodies were caved in by a fist the size of a human's fist. Even so, those things didn't collapse.

This made Bai Mu extremely furious. No matter what he was beaten into, as long as there was a trace of his physical body remaining, he would rely on this fact to launch an attack.

”Ao, ao, ao …” A series of sounds echoed throughout the cold and empty hillside. The corpses formed from the souls fought Bai Mu in turns. Even though Bai Mu was full of energy, he still found it difficult to endure.

”Heh heh ~ Don't worry, the good show is yet to come!” Xu Cheng knew that Bai Mu hadn't used his Spiritual Energy, so he naturally wouldn't place the item he was most proficient in at the front. This time, a chain that had been retracted appeared out of nowhere in his hand.

”Soulreaper Lock!” Bai Mu said in disbelief. At the same time, he sent a fist flying toward a female corpse in front of him.
