I am grinding experience in another world

Time flew by, and more than twenty days passed in the blink of an eye.

Chen Mu stayed at home all day, grinding his proficiency.

With the foundation of the Red Falcon Shape Cultivation Technique, the Blue-eyed Golden Ape Shape Cultivation Technique advanced by leaps and bounds.

Blue-eyed Golden Ape Shape Cultivation Technique: 6025/10000/Third Rank;

"In just over half a month, I should be able to complete the Marrow Transformation."

He casually threw a handful of medicated bait into the small pond, watching with satisfaction as the fish scrambled for it.

Previously, for practicing the Five Ghosts Moving Mountain Curse, he almost fished the waters dry.

The density of live fish in the nearby river sections had drastically decreased due to his baiting. Now, finally, they were recovering.

"It's a pity they're of no use now."

"Maybe I should prepare some more Fasting Pills," Chen Mu pondered thoughtfully.

He had stockpiled two cellars' worth of wheat, unafraid of such a small loss.

Fasting Pills are preservative and long-lasting. It's good to prepare more, and if the day comes when I need to leave Nanyang, I can just up and leave.

...

In the pavilion, Jie Jia's hands, busy rolling silver beads, couldn't help but stop. He glanced at Chen Mu, who was shaping rice balls, "You're not thinking of running away again, are you?"

"Yeah, yeah," Chen Mu said with a troubled face, "Just look outside, they're searching all day long, I don't even dare to step out the door."

"Did you kill the person?" Jie Jia asked skeptically.

"If I had that ability, would I be hiding at home all day?" Chen Mu rolled his eyes naturally.

Jie Jia squinted his eyes, sizing up Chen Mu, and after a long while, he finally looked away, "What are you afraid of then?"

"That was a member of a noble family! As you said, they're always overbearing. What if one day they come to trouble me?" Chen Mu looked worried.

"Look at the commotion in the city. The County Government Office, hoodlums, thugs, from top to bottom, everyone's getting involved. I'm just an ordinary commoner; if such a huge beast comes after me, is there any way to survive?"

An ordinary commoner? Jie Jia's eyes moved, and glancing at Chen Mu, he said indifferently, "They won't trouble you."

"Why?" Chen Mu didn't understand.

"You're not worth it."

Chen Mu: "..."

Jie Jia glanced sideways: "After all, an ordinary commoner, right..."

Chen Mu: "..."

Are you still here making sarcastic remarks?

Don't you know how serious the situation is?!

Now the whole city is plastered with wanted posters!

They're all about Cheng Yi... hmm, alright, this blame is indeed a bit too big to bear.

What else could Chen Mu do? He could only say... well done!

"Even if you wanted to run, there's nowhere to run," Jie Jia said calmly.

"Da Liang is in chaos with Ghosts rampaging, Nanyang City is one of the few places of peace."

"Do you really think about setting sail to the sea?"

Chen Mu's eyes brightened, it didn't seem too bad to find a deserted island to live on. Maybe he could even play the part of a notorious villain like Huang Laoxie.

Jie Jia glanced at Chen Mu and shook his head, "The sea is even more dangerous. If you're not afraid of death, you can go."

Chen Mu shrugged his shoulders, alright then, better stay honest and keep to the house.

...

Where could Cheng Yi be hiding? The entire Nanyang Prefecture has been vigorously searching. It's been over a month since Sikou Yu died, and they still haven't found the person.

Chen Mu was feeling more at ease staying at home.

One day, as he was preparing for lunch, a head suddenly appeared over the wall at his doorstep.

Noticing Chen Mu's gaze, the person grinned and then leapt over the wall.

Chen Mu: "..." So none of you knows how to use the door, huh!

"I've come at just the right time!" Kui Tuo laughed loudly as he walked into the pavilion.

Chen Mu looked at him sidelong.

If it weren't for the Ghost effigies hanging from the willow trees keeping watch, he might have almost believed him.

This brute had been back and forth several times, timed perfectly with when lunch was ready, scaling the wall precisely then.

All this for a bite to eat. Is it really worth it?

Expertly, Kui Tuo tossed two Gold Cakes to Chen Mu, dashed to the kitchen to grab a bowl and chopsticks, and then unceremoniously began to devour his meal.

...

After lunch, Chen Mu prepared some iced tea.

He mentioned the Startling Swan Gang's journey north this time, unintentionally and intentionally.

Kui Tuo immediately started pouring out his grievances.

"The Startling Swan Gang is recruiting to clear out the evil spirits?"

I find that so hard to believe. Is this really something a gang should be doing?

Raising troops? For what are they raising troops?

Kui Tuo didn't know much, and Chen Mu was also confused.

If the Startling Swan Gang is like this, could it be the same with the Tangshan Army outside the city?

Why have the scions of the great families suddenly taken an interest in evil spirits?

After pondering for a long time without understanding, Chen Mu simply stopped thinking about it; these matters were unrelated to him.

On the contrary, he was interested in the chaos caused by the evil spirits and had Kui Tuo explain it to him in detail several times.

…

In Nanyang Prefecture, Ningren District, a certain abandoned residence.

A man of two meters in height and extremely robust build stood in the courtyard.

His hand, large as a fan, was gripping the neck of a skinny man as he asked in an unhurried manner, "Say, who sent you here?"

The skinny man was being choked, gasping for breath, his eyeballs frantic with bloodshot veins. He kept slapping the burly man's iron hoop-like palm, signaling for him to release his grasp.

With a furrowed brow, the burly man scrutinized the skinny man and shook his head helplessly, "Really stubborn, aren't you?"

The skinny man's eyeballs looked as though they were about to pop out.

You really should just let go! I didn't say I wouldn't spill it!

His hands gestured desperately to the burly man. He even endured the suffocating pain to write on the burly man's arm.

The burly man focused intently on the other's fingers.

Once the skinny man had finished writing, the burly man suddenly realized, "You want to scratch me even if it kills you?"

The skinny man: "…"

"Respect for you being a man!"

Snap!

The man's neck broke like a cucumber under the burly man's grip.

The skinny man looked at the burly man in disbelief.

I clearly wrote it out for you…

…

"Really, all sorts of demons and monsters are coming out of the woodwork," a middle-aged man with a complexion white as jade suddenly appeared atop the wall, shaking his head and sighing as he looked at the burly man.

"I didn't expect that while searching house to house for fugitives, I would end up finding you, the demon ape Tu Shan."

"It's you!" Tu Shan glared at the middle-aged man.

"Recognized me?" the middle-aged man said with a light smile.

"That year, when we were closing in on you, you managed to land a punch on me by chance."

"I've trained hard for ten years, and I've long wanted to return that punch."

"I say, let's do it today," the middle-aged man declared proudly.

Tu Shan's expression turned dark as he stared at the other, "You're the one who sent that skinny monkey to my place. So... who are you exactly?"

The middle-aged man: "…"

I've been talking to you for so long, and you still don't know who I am?!

"You damn..."

Bang!

Like a bouncing ball, the middle-aged man was immediately hurled away.

Tu Shan shaded his forehead, watching the flying figure and earnestly said, "Cursing is wrong."

Then he walked out the gate with ease, looking at the heavily armed hundreds of soldiers with shields, swords, and crossbows, ready for battle in the streets and alleyways. He broke into a wide smile, his white teeth gleaming menacingly.

…

Half a quarter hour later.

Sikou Qing, swift as an arrow, reached Ningren District.

Hundreds of soldiers lay on the ground wailing, limbs and body parts strewn about. The entire street looked as if splashed with a coat of red paint.

Broken shields, cracked swords, and snapped bows were everywhere.

"It's the demon ape Tu Shan!" Qi Tingman approached and whispered, "Should we inform the family to capture him?"

"With the deadline approaching, these monsters are all coming out," Sikou Qing frowned slightly and shook her head, "No need to bother. That's a problem for the Zhou family, it doesn't concern our Sikou Family."

"Could it have been him?" Qi Tingman asked hesitantly.

"No," Sikou Qing shook her head and pointed at the bloody street, "When Tu Shan strikes, he never bothers to hide it."

Qi Tingman's face twitched.

Who would have thought that within Nanyang Prefecture, such a killing god would be hidden?

Years ago, he killed several direct descendants of the Zhou family and was hunted by all the great families. It was hard to believe that after so many years, he was still alive and well.

"Miss, the waters of Nanyang Prefecture are too deep…" Qi Tingman felt uneasy, thinking that if another fierce person were to emerge, it would be troubling.

"Continue the search," Sikou Qing commanded decisively.

Cheng Yi must be killed, and that boy must be captured.

The search must not only continue, but the efforts must be increased!

With so much time having passed, the matter of the Daoist Bone boy might have already reached those with ulterior motives!

She must gain the upper hand!
