Talent

Mo Pi complete?

No!

It wasn't just ordinary Mo Pi completion; even she didn't face the Poisonous Water so easily. After taking the Poison Avoidance Pill she carried, there was still a red mark left, while Chen Mu showed almost no change, the impact was minimal.

This kind of skin that even Poisonous Water could hardly erode, even if ordinary people cultivated to Mo Pi completion, they couldn't achieve it. This was the Copper Steel Skin that only people with extraordinary talent could develop, the limit of the Mo Pi realm.

Although Xiao He had followed Xu Hongyu out of the Inner City and seen all kinds of talented people, some with extremely high comprehension, some with natural Copper Skin, Chen Mu, who had cultivated Mo Pi to this level in just half a year, was a very rare existence in her memory. The key was that Chen Mu's comprehension was not low, and he had also cultivated Saber Intent!

"..."

Xiao He took a deep look at Chen Mu. After regaining her senses, she didn't immediately delve into it, but suppressed the shock in her heart and looked at Qin Bei, saying, "Yamen Runner Captain Qin, there is a survivor here. You come and interrogate him. The others search around to see if there are any other exits. There's no rush to release those in the Prison."

At this time, Qin Bei was also a little surprised by Chen Mu's bravery. Even he didn't dare to rush over with the Poisonous Water like Xiao He. Chen Mu dared to kill into the ranks of the Poisonous Water Squad with Xiao He, which made him admire him a bit. Seeing that Xiao He seemed to be dealing with the area on Chen Mu's body that had been exposed to the Poisonous Water, he took a breath and quickly stepped forward, grabbing the survivor from the Poisonous Water Squad, his eyes revealing a stern look, and took him aside to interrogate him.

The other Yamen Runners also carefully explored all around under orders.

At this time, Xiao He walked to the side with Chen Mu, took out a white pill and handed it over, saying, "This is a Poison Avoidance Pill, which has the effect of dispelling most poisons. You should be fine after taking one."

"Thank you."

Chen Mu said his thanks. In fact, judging from his feeling, the Poisonous Water basically couldn't penetrate his skin and was completely blocked out, but for the sake of insurance, it was okay to use a Poison Avoidance Pill.

A moment later.

Qin Bei's interrogation yielded results. After all, he was a Yamen Runner Captain specializing in interrogation. After some questioning, he finally learned most of the situation of the Black Crow Sect Main Altar.

First of all, the Main Altar was divided into multiple areas. In addition to the central forbidden area, there were four parts: the prison area, the storage area, and the usual living area. The place they were in was the prison area, responsible for detaining people sent from outside, and extracting some human blood every once in a while to send to the forbidden area.

In addition to the road they came in, there were two other roads leading to the residential area and the forbidden area respectively, but these two roads were also blocked. Their task was to trap and eliminate Chen Mu's team.

After learning the situation.

Neither Chen Mu nor Xiao He panicked. This kind of mechanism arrangement could only trap them for a while. Just like the road they came from was blocked, but it would only take them some time to open it up. It was impossible to be trapped to death.

After a brief thought, Xiao He asked Qin Bei to quickly open up the passage to the forbidden area with the Yamen Runners.

At the same time.

Chen Mu received a report from the Yamen Runner, saying that on the inner side of this prison area, there was another area separated by thick iron plates, which was also part of the prison, but the prisoners held there were all women.

Then he followed the Yamen Runner to check, and saw a prison built of iron plates, holding about a dozen women, all of whom looked relatively young, at most twenty years old, and the expected situation of being disheveled did not occur.

At this time.

Many women gathered together with excited expressions.

At first, they were captured, thinking they were going to be trafficked to some brothel, but the result was even more terrifying. They were imprisoned in a dark underground, although they had not encountered any violations, they were drawn blood every day, panic-stricken, almost desperate, the City Guard Yamen Runners killed in, tantamount to shining a ray of dawn into the ground.

Chen Mu glanced over roughly, his eyes stopped on one of them, her appearance was vaguely familiar, so he asked, "Zhang Youying?"

"Yes... it's me."

Zhang Youying responded in a trembling voice, huddled in the crowd.

She didn't recognize Chen Mu. After all, she only had a vague impression of Chen Mu when she was very young, and she hadn't seen him in person since then. Especially at this time, Chen Mu came with a knife, his aura was compelling, and the nearby Yamen Runners were silent and dared not say much.

Chen Mu looked up and down, and seeing that Zhang Youying's mental state was still good, he nodded slightly in his heart, looked at the Yamen Runner next to him and said in a deep voice: "Count the number of people, names, and guard them well!"

At this time, there was no rush to release the people. After all, they would be trapped to death outside as well. It was better to be safe in this iron-clad prison. They could be rescued together after the Black Crow Sect was completely destroyed.

Compared to those prisoners outside, who were half-dead or even died directly in the previous rat tide, the women here were in much better condition. They were probably provided with food and water on a daily basis.

"Yes, Lord Chen."

The nearby Yamen Runners respectfully responded.

Chen Mu nodded, then turned and left.

Over there, Zhang Youying was mixed in the crowd. Seeing that the Yamen Runners did not open the prison to release them, she felt uneasy. At this time, hearing the Yamen Runner's reply to Chen Mu, she suddenly paused, thinking of something.

Was it him?

It was.

Otherwise, why would he specifically ask for her name?

Thinking back now, Chen Mu's appearance did indeed have some similarities to a distant memory.

"..."

After determining that the person just now was Chen Mu, Zhang Youying finally felt a slight relief in her heart. Since Chen Mu was here, there should be no problem. She should be rescued in a while.

But...

A slight sense of grievance rose in her heart.

Chen Mu even asked for her name, so he must have recognized her, but he left without saying a few more words to her.

She also thought with a bit of disappointment that if she had agreed when Chen Hong wanted to arrange a marriage between her and Chen Mu, maybe things wouldn't be like this now. She might not have even been caught in this kind of place, worrying for several days.

In an instant, all sorts of thoughts flashed through her mind. Watching Chen Mu's departing figure, Zhang Youying ultimately did not speak.

Arriving at the passage leading to the forbidden area.

She saw Qin Bei leading a group of Yamen Runners to clear the passage. The passage was filled with a large amount of piled-up stones, but with a few slashes of Qin Bei's saber, large rocks were shattered, and then some Yamen Runners carried the small rocks out.

"Did you find the person?"

Xiao He asked Chen Mu.

The City Guard began investigating the origin of the Black Crow Sect because a relative of Chen Mu disappeared. After investigating all the way, they followed the clues and found the Black Crow Sect. She was usually responsible for helping Xu Hongyu handle various intelligence information, so she naturally knew about it.

Chen Mu nodded and said, "Yes, she's fine."

"That's good."

Xiao He nodded slightly.

In fact, she knew more, including who Zhang Youying was, and even that Chen Mu's Third Aunt Chen Hong had once wanted to arrange a marriage between Zhang Youying and Chen Mu, etc., but she only shook her head slightly at this.

It was only natural that the marriage didn't happen at that time. The ability and talent that Chen Mu had shown now were simply not something that an ordinary girl like Zhang Youying could match. Not only was he calm and composed, but his comprehension was also extremely high, and even his body was exceptionally gifted. He was able to develop a Copper Steel Skin in just half a year.

Although Chen Mu's Copper Steel Skin, which was developed later, was not as naturally gifted as the kind of natural Copper Skin, what was most rare was that Chen Mu also possessed comprehension... Most of those with natural Copper Skin that she had an impression of had never comprehended the Power of Intent, and some even entered the Yi Jin level, but still did not possess the Power of Intent of skills.

And those who developed the Power of Intent at a young age rarely possessed a Copper Steel Skin.

Without a doubt.

Even though Chen Mu started practicing body tempering techniques a bit late, missing the best few years, he has made up for it by developing a Copper Steel Skin in just half a year. Moreover, he also possesses Saber Intent, so once he reaches the Yi Jin level in the future, he will be almost invincible in the same realm.

Such talent and strength even qualifies him to marry a daughter of the Yu Family.

Thinking of this.

Xiao He couldn't help but sigh softly in her heart, thinking of Xu Hongyu's father, who was also amazingly talented back then. At only nineteen years old, he had mastered two types of Sword Intent, and at twenty, he stepped into the Yi Jin realm, shocking the Yu Family. Afterward, he married Xu Hongyu's mother, who was also a direct descendant of the Yu Family, and after giving birth to Xu Hongyu, he even allowed her to take his 'Xu' surname.

But such a person ultimately went missing in an incident, and his whereabouts are still unknown, and his life or death is uncertain.

Otherwise, Xu Hongyu's current status would be much higher, and with such a figure supporting her, the Yu Family would not have fallen into such internal and external troubles in the past two years, making it difficult for them to move forward.
