As the scene descended into chaos, Bai Jingwen and the other two grew tense.
Wang Yong and Lu Qian had been carrying the bridal sedan. How could they possibly dare go inside now?
They let go and tried to retreat, but the villagers around them went red-eyed and closed in at once.
"What are you doing?"
"Quick! Take the bride into the hall! Pay your respects to the Goddess!"
Dozens of villagers crowded forward, threatening them with sickles and pitchforks still hung with blood and flesh.
The stench of blood hit Wang Yong and Lu Qian, and their faces changed.
"Lord Chen, please help us!"
They had already learned that Chen Mu was the inspector of Everlasting Prosperity Town. Calling him "lord" now was a plea for help.
Having reached his destination, Chen Mu had no interest in keeping up the act with these Corpse Charms.
He drew his saber and said to Xiao Wenbin,
"Senior Brother, let's strike together and cut down these Corpse Charms first."
Xiao Wenbin had been waiting for Chen Mu to say the word. He nodded at once.
"Attack!"
Swish! He yanked the iron abacus from his waist and flicked its beads.
Dozens of beads shot out, wrapped in true qi. They tore through the Corpse Charms like a rain of arrows, bursting into sprays of blood.
Chen Mu had charged ahead even sooner. Without using any divine ability, he attacked with the fierce strokes of the Hundred-Slash Saber Art.
These Corpse Charms' vitality had withered. None could survive a single exchange beneath Chen Mu's saber. In moments, corpses littered the ground and blood spattered the mountainside.
