The Two Sides Face Off

Ji Xi stood behind Lin Mu. He knew the truth about the village very well, but he remained silent.

Because he wanted to know what Lin Mu would do.

Should we believe the villagers or the Female Ghost?

This can actually test Lin Mu's true nature.

Just like when people face two different paths, different people will make different choices.

These choices will determine their future path.

It also represents their personality.

Lin Mu grabbed the Female Ghost and walked forward.

He didn't waste much time thinking about these things.

In his view, the simplest way to crack the village's secrets is to directly ask the people involved.

Lin Mu walked at a moderate pace and soon arrived at a villager's house.

The villager was sharpening a knife, looking like Butcher, with a lot of raw meat and blood dripping from him.

Upon seeing Lin Mu, a smile appeared on his lips, "Want to buy some meat?"

Where is your village chief?

"Once you're here, you have to buy meat, or I won't let you leave!" the Butcher said sinisterly.

Laugh!

A slash landed on him.

The Butcher's face showed pain, and he retreated repeatedly.

Lin Mu approached him, placing the long sword in his hand at his neck, with streams of Netherworld Power covering the sword.

He would kill the opponent if they made the slightest mistake.

The Butcher's expression changed drastically; this was the first time he had ever encountered someone like this.

The martial artists who came to him before were all very honest.

He always managed to rip off the other person.

I didn't expect to run into a brick wall this time, and a really tough one at that.

"Where is the village chief?" Lin Mu's expression was extremely calm.

That look seemed to be telling the other person that if they did anything to displease him, he would kill them on the spot.

The Butcher swallowed hard and immediately pointed in a direction. "West, the tallest building is it!"

Lin Mu's long sword suddenly fell.

The Butcher let out a piercing scream and died instantly.

Some of the trainees who followed were horrified when they saw this scene.

They had all suffered at the hands of the Butcher.

I have some understanding of Butcher.

This person is extremely difficult to deal with, possessing the strength of Fourth Order Wraith.

More importantly, he had a very intimidating aura.

Most people were intimidated by him and dared not have a conflict with him.

Lin Mu's killing of him relieved the hatred in the hearts of many.

What they found even more unbelievable was that Lin Mu was more reckless than they had imagined.

After all, the Butcher was a relatively important figure in the village.

Such a bizarre killing will inevitably cause dissatisfaction among the villagers.

Even if Lin Mu can defeat the Female Ghost, can he escape unscathed from so many villagers?

"Originally, he only needed to bring the Female Ghost to the village chief to complete his mission and learn the truth. But now that he's done this, I'm afraid the villagers won't let him leave so easily!"

"These bastards weren't good people in life either. Now that their comrades have been killed, they're bound to go berserk!"

"I met that village chief once before. He looks kind and gentle, but he always makes me uncomfortable. He's probably not that simple!"

"..."

The group discussed it amongst themselves, following at a distance.

Having been here for quite some time, they naturally wanted to know if Lin Mu could unravel the secrets of this village.

Lin Mu walked westward and soon arrived at the tallest building.

This is the only three-story building in the village, although it is still extremely simple compared to the houses outside.

However, within this village, it is considered an exceptional existence.

As Lin Mu's figure approached this direction.

Hundreds of villagers walked toward this place.

Their eyes were fixed on Lin Mu, their gazes filled with a hint of murderous intent.

They were all carrying farm tools, and it was clear they had ill intentions.

Lin Mu's eyes narrowed slightly.

He knew very well that these villagers had come for him.

It's likely that he killed the Butcher.

However, he found it strange that they hadn't appeared when he killed the strong man at the village entrance.

Lin Mu ignored them and went to the village chief's house.

At that moment, the door to the village chief's house slowly opened.

An old man walked out from inside.

The old man was about seventy years old, with a full head of white hair and many wrinkles on his face. He looked quite kind.

If it weren't for the fact that this village is quite special, many people would think he was a very easy-going old man at first glance.

However, when the old man saw Lin Mu, a shadow of gloom flashed in the depths of his eyes, but soon a smile appeared on his face as he looked at Lin Mu.

"What brings you here?"

Lin Mu smiled slightly, "I want to know what exactly happened back then."

After saying that, he threw the Female Ghost on the ground.

Many villagers looked surprised when they saw the Female Ghost.

They never expected that the Female Ghost who turned them into this would be captured by Lin Mu.

For a moment, a hint of wariness appeared in their eyes.

It should be noted that the Female Ghost possesses considerable strength and is adept at using curses.

Ordinary martial artists are no match for her.

"I never imagined that after all these years, someone could beat her up like this!" The old man's eyes were filled with excitement.

He walked quickly toward Lin Mu.

"You, you are the hero of our village!"

"I can forgive your past crime of killing the Butcher, as long as you give her to me!"

Lin Mu's face showed a hint of impatience.

Laugh!

He suddenly swung his long sword at the old man.

The old man's arm flew off immediately.

Pain was evident on the old man's face.

He looked at Lin Mu in horror, seemingly unable to believe it.

The man in front of me was so reckless.

The other villagers were also startled; they had never seen anything like it before.

Lin Mu placed his long sword against his neck. "Didn't you hear me asking you a question?"

Sensing the Netherworld Power emanating from Lin Mu's longsword, the old man's eyes widened in terror.

He knew very well that even if he was Sixth Order Vengeful Spirit, Lin Mu could kill him with a single move of his longsword.

This human is not to be trifled with!

The old man forced a smile and immediately said, "Brave warrior, I can tell you everything I know, but we are not enemies!"

Lin Mu said indifferently, "Speak!"

"The story is pretty much what you already know. She was originally a dancer who brought evil into this village and cursed it!"

The village chief explained.

A hint of hatred flashed in the woman's eyes. "You're talking nonsense!"

The village chief remained unfazed. "You know better than I what happened back then. You harmed the entire village. You harbored malicious intentions!"

The woman's eyes were filled with murderous intent. "You were clearly after my parents' money, plotting to kill them for their wealth, and even trying to take me for yourself. If it weren't for the Curse Artifact I possessed, I don't know what would have happened to me now!!"
