After the Cloud Knights withdrew from the alley, Chu Mu realized that the strange man had probably been captured for real.
The man's ability to return from the dead had startled Chu Mu considerably.
Chu Mu was absolutely certain that the man had truly died back then. Otherwise, his threads could never have entered the body.
But when the man came back to life, the threads were forced out.
Chu Mu felt a little disappointed. He could have picked up a puppet to use as an avatar, but that was no longer an option.
Finding another corpse on the streets of the bustling Xianzhou Luofu would be difficult.

Long-life species were the Xianzhou's original inhabitants, descendants of the Medicine-Seeking Envoys of old. Most short-life species were Outworlders who had boarded the Xianzhou later.

The population would double, then double again, over and over.
What a terrifying number would that become in
