Chapter 845: Chapter 712: The Fisherman Reaps the Greatest Benefit

""""

As Chen Mu and Yue Mei were being affectionate, his junior brother An Yang was unexpectedly struck by a gigantic stone weighing hundreds of pounds, hitting him on the top of the skull.

An Yang only had time to cry out before his brain splattered, dying tragically on the spot.

What was even more infuriating was that a black Lightning Mink, from who knows where, flashed by and snatched the Four Directions Token from An Yang’s hand.

"Damn animal, return the Four Directions Token."

At this time, Chen Mu was regretting so much that his guts were turning green.

It was all because he was so preoccupied with taming the Devil Snake Turtle that he hadn’t paid any attention to An Yang’s safety.

After all, the key point of this trip to Sifang City was to accompany An Yang to the World’s First Refining.

An Yang was the precious nephew of his master’s wife; before setting off, his master’s wife had repeatedly cautioned him to take good care of An Yang.

All along the way, he had been doing his due diligence, treating An Yang’s affairs as his own, hunting all the way through, and after a fierce fight, he thought that An Yang securing the first place was in sight. Who would have thought that at this critical moment, An Yang would die.

With his death, wouldn’t all the effort he and Yue Mei had made earlier be wasted?

Enraged, Chen Mu wanted to kill that black Lightning Mink.

But Little Corpse was familiar with the terrain and had been on guard.

Taking advantage of its agile body, it darted to the edge of the Demon Lying Abyss, spread its limbs like a glider, and leaped into the abyss.

It jumped into the waterfall and vanished without a trace.

Chen Mu chased to the edge of the Demon Lying Abyss and watched as Little Corpse disappeared, so angry that he was choked with rage, unable to vent it, almost dying from suffocation.

"Senior Brother Chen, don’t chase. There’s something odd about this." Yue Mei was much calmer than Chen Mu.

For one, she never liked An Yang’s cowardice and his style of always relying on Chen Mu.

Secondly, she noticed that An Yang was struck by the stone and killed after the Demon Snake Turtle was slain.

Logically, earlier ground disturbances should’ve been caused by the Demon Snake Turtle using the Earth Demon Power; once the Demon Snake Turtle died, the chaotic stones should have automatically come to a rest.

Or is it?

Besides the Demon Snake Turtle, are there other demon beasts in the vicinity attacking stealthily with the Power of Earth?

After Yue Mei’s analysis, Chen Mu also came back to his senses.

He couldn’t help but remember that black mink who had suddenly taken away An Yang’s Four Directions Token.

A normal demon beast would only attack people; why would it snatch a Four Directions Token that it can neither eat nor has much use for? There must be some trick to it.

He looked around darkly.

In the shadows, Ye Lingyue and Long Baobao both suppressed their laughter, even Feng Xun coughed quietly without a sound.

The death of An Yang, needless to say, was someone’s doing.

Just now, seeing Chen Mu and Yue Mei cutting down a large number of Demon Blade Fish as if with divine aid, Ye Lingyue thought of profiting from this situation.

Chen Mu and Yue Mei were not easy to deal with, but An Yang was different.

This guy was greedy for life and afraid of death, and to save his own skin, he had always kept a distance from Chen Mu and Yue Mei, only occasionally stepping in to kill a few stray Demon Blade Fish.

Just then, the Turtle Demon was provoked, causing an "Earth-shaking" attack.

However, since the Turtle Demon was injured by Yue Mei and its cultivation greatly reduced, the "Earth-shaking" attack didn’t cause much effect.

But as soon as Ye Lingyue used the Earth Spirit, triggering the "Flying Stone" attack, it was a different story.

As expected, Chen Mu and Yue Mei both were driven to a frenzy by the barrage of flying stones, with Yue Mei in a fit of rage, killing the Demon Snake Turtle.

Taking advantage of the moment when the two were exchanging sweet nothings, completely forgetting the existence of An Yang, Ye Lingyue seized the opportunity to strike successfully.

With An Yang’s death, all the efforts Chen Mu had made earlier were in vain.

Ye Lingyue’s mouth curved up slightly, but she didn’t dare to celebrate too early, because Yue Mei and Chen Mu had already started to suspect that there were other people present.

Yue Mei drew her sword, and Chen Mu’s gaze flickered as he began to search the area near Demon Lying Abyss.

As the two came closer and closer, Yue Mei even started walking straight towards the hiding place of the three individuals; Long Baobao couldn’t help but grasp Ye Lingyue’s hand.

Ye Lingyue was also ready to make a move at any moment.

By her side, Feng Xun’s phoenix eyes glittered, his gaze darting to a certain direction.

His eyes, cold and profound, seemed to penetrate the heavy twilight mist, sensing something approaching from afar.

Just when Yue Mei was mere inches away from discovering Ye Lingyue and the others,

Yue Mei’s ears twitched slightly, and at that moment, Chen Mu’s expression abruptly changed.

With tacit understanding, the two turned around and called out in the direction opposite to Demon Lying Abyss.

"Who’s there?"

Hehehe——

A sinister laugh drifted from afar.

As the laugh reached their ears, three figures of varying heights approached from the distance.

They appeared to be three persons, but upon closer inspection of their eyes, one would notice that their pupils were unlike those of ordinary people.

Their pupils were the size of pinpoints, with blood-colored irises; around their bodies, demonic power churned like sludge.

Demons, three great demons, and the strength of any one of them was no less than that of the Demon Snake Turtle that had just been slain.

Yue Mei and Chen Mu’s expressions turned solemn.

"So it was you who killed my junior brother?"

Upon seeing them, Chen Mu immediately connected them to An Yang’s death.

"Give up the Moonflower King you have on you."

The leading hunchbacked elder did not heed Chen Mu’s words, asking drily instead.

They had suspected earlier that the fragrance of the Moonflower King was a trap, but now it seemed that there truly was the scent of the Moonflower King in the area, only for the fragrance to suddenly vanish when they tracked it here.

There were only this young man and woman present, and it seemed that they had just slain the Turtle Demon of Demon Lying Abyss.

The Moonflower King was very likely on them.

Chen Muyue and Yue Mei, along with the three demon figures, were talking at cross purposes, neither understanding what the other was saying.

"What Moonflower King? You three rodents, ambushed my junior brother when we were not attentive; today I will kill you in revenge for my junior brother."

Chen Mu, infuriated at the thought of being unable to explain the situation to his master and madame when he returned, did not say a second word and with a whoosh, he struck a palm attack towards the leading elder demon figure.

"Big brother, leave such a junior to me," said the youngest demon among the three, a child who fearlessly confronted Chen Mu.

The large and small figures collided.

Immediately there was a whooshing wind, one palm met another, and after several more moves, the two fought indecisively.

Yue Mei also furrowed her brows, sizing up the other two demons.

"Ling Yue, it’s about time; let’s go."

Feng Xun took advantage of the moment the two opponents were locked in a fierce battle to write a few words in Ye Lingyue’s palm.

Ye Lingyue gave Feng Xun’s hand a firm squeeze, signaling him to wait a moment; then, she let go of Feng Xun’s hand and moved quietly forward.
