At the foot of the mountain.

Not long after Luo Qingzhou and Xiao Die went up the mountain, a few figures gathered in the dense forest beside the side path.

One of them was a thin man who was standing in the middle and surrounded by other men.

The others looked dangerous and had ferocious looks in their eyes. However, they were respectful to the thin man.

“Big Brother, it’s confirmed. He has already gone up the mountain.” “There’s only the master and servant duo. I didn’t see anyone else.”

“We’ve been waiting for almost a month. We can finally finish this mission today and leave this godforsaken place.”

The thin man’s eyes flickered as he said in a low voice, “Second Brother, Fourth Brother, you guys take the lead first. Third Brother and Fifth Brother, you two will go around and surround them. Watch the surroundings and don’t act rashly for the time being. See the situation at Second and Fourth Brother’s side before making a move. I’ll bring up the rear.”

“Boss, there’s only a weak scholar and a maidservant. Is there a need to be so cautious?”

“Fifth Brother, you don’t understand. Big Brother always wants things watertight. When a lion hunts a rabbit, it has to use its full strength. After all, this fellow is from a rich family. Although it looks like there aren’t any guards, it doesn’t mean that he doesn’t have any guards protecting him from behind the scenes. They might have been waiting on the mountain much earlier than us.”

“Yes, it’s better to be careful.

“Then Second Brother and I will go up and check if there’s anyone else first.”

“That’s right. We’ll get closer and take a look. If there’s a chance, we’ll attack directly. Let’s kill that scholar and complete the mission.”

“Hehe, Big Brother, I’ve seen that maidservant. She’s petite. Her skin is fair and she’s beautiful. Later, us brothers can…

“Don’t be a fool! When you have money, you can have any kind of woman you want! Let’s end this quickly. We have to finish them off as quickly as possible, take the rest of the money, and leave.”

The thin man’s face was stern.

The few of them discussed in low voices for a while before going up the mountain separately.

The sun quickly rose into the sky.

Halfway up the mountain.

In the forest, smoke curled up.

Luo Qingzhou and Xiao Die knelt in front of the burning incense and threw the paper money and hell coins they had bought into the flames one by one.

The air was filled with the smell of burning paper and burning incense.

The blurry words on the wooden sign became even more blurry in the rising smoke.

The wind was cold, and the leaves rustled. The ashes on the ground swirled and scattered everywhere.

When Luo Qingzhou knelt and looked up again, he suddenly realized through the smoke that the words on the wooden tablet had distorted.

At the same time, from the corner of his eye, he saw a blurry gray shadow appear to the right of Xiao Die, who was kneeling beside him.

When he suddenly turned his head to look, the gray shadow suddenly disappeared.

There were only a few wisps of ashes and unburned scraps of paper that fluttered in the wind before disappearing into the distance.

“What’s wrong, Young Master?”

Xiao Die’s eves were red as she wiDed her tears.

“It’s nothing.”

Luo Qingzhou retracted his gaze, lowered his head, and threw the hell money notes into the burning fire.

He looked through the smoke at the wooden sign in front of him and then at the grave behind it.

If it was really as the strange book said, there were ghosts in this world…

Then, at this moment, his mother might really have appeared as a ghost. She might be looking at him sadly from the side and crying at being unable to reunite with him.

To some people, this scene might be very terrifying.

However, Luo Qingzhou only felt heartache.

“Young Master, don’t be sad… Madam’s spirit will be very happy if she finds out that you have married a woman who’s as beautiful as a fairy and is living very well now.”

Xiao Die’s eyes were red as she comforted him.

“That’s right. If Mother finds out that the two of us have left the Chengguo Residence and are living well in our new home, she will definitely be very happy.”

Luo Qingzhou looked at the burning flames in front of him and muttered.

“Let’s go.”

The joss paper on the ground had finished burning, and there were not many incense sticks left.

Luo Qingzhou stood up and extinguished the flames. He took another look at the grave before leaving with Xiao Die.

“Madam, we’re leaving. Young Master and I will visit you again during the Qingming festival.”

Xiao Die sobbed and waved her hand.

The master and servant passed through the forest and the graves and walked down the mountain path they had come from.

When he saw Luo Qingzhou, the middle-aged man in his 40s hurriedly waved his hand and said, “Young Master, please wait. Can I ask you for directions?”

The two men approached the master and servant with down-to-earth smiles on their faces.

Luo Qingzhou looked at them and nodded. “Where do you want to go?”

The middle-aged man wiped the sweat off his forehead and smiled. Just as he was about to speak, Luo Qingzhou pointed at the forest behind them and said,

“Is that person your companion?”

The two men were startled and turned around.

Bam!

Suddenly, a muffled sound sounded out of thin air!

Crack!

The sound of bones breaking could be heard!

The younger male’s head suddenly tilted back, and he staggered a few steps back. With a bang, he fell to the ground. His eyes widened. His head caved in, brain tissue splattered everywhere, and he died instantly!

The middle-aged man suddenly turned around. Just as he was about to take out his hand from the robe at his waist, Luo Qingzhou’s right foot had already kicked him heavily in the chest, sending him flying!

Bam! 𝒻𝓇𝘦𝘦𝘸𝘦𝘣𝓃ℴ𝓋𝘦𝑙.𝒸ℴ𝑚

The man was kicked into the forest behind him. He had already taken out the hand hidden in his robe. In his hand was a cold dagger.

However, his chest was now caved in, with almost every rib broken. Blood was coming out of his mouth and nose.

He lay on the ground with his mouth open. His eyes widened and he twitched a few times before his body went limp and he died!

This unforeseen event happened in a flash!

Before Xiao Die could react or even scream, the two men’s bones were shattered by punches and kicks, and they died!

Xiao Die widened her eyes and covered her mouth. Just as she was about to scream, Luo Qingzhou grabbed her hand and prepared to run down the mountain.

However, at this moment, a thin man suddenly appeared below.

The thin man had originally stood below, looking as if he was admiring the surrounding scenery. When he saw Luo Qingzhou killing the two men, his expression changed before he started running up.

Luo Qingzhou immediately pulled Xiao Die and prepared to run up the mountain.

However, two more men appeared at the top of the mountain. They held daggers in their hands and quickly rushed downward.

“Run!”

Luo Qingzhou did not hesitate and immediately ran into the forest with Xiao Die.

When he passed by the middle-aged man’s corpse, Luo Qingzhou suddenly bent down and picked up the dagger from the ground. He stuffed it into Xiao Die’s hand and said in a low voice, “Take it!”

Xiao Die’s face was pale as she held the dagger with trembling hands. Her legs were weak and she could not run at all. She cried, “Young Master, you… you run first. Don’t bother about me…

Luo Qingzhou did not say anything and continued to run forward with her.

“Big Brother! He…”

The two men who had rushed down from the mountain with daggers in their hands immediately trembled in fear when they saw the tragic state of the two corpses on the ground. Shock was written all over their faces and they stopped in their tracks.

This… This was done by that scholar?

Their mouths were agape, and their faces were a pale, bloodless white. They were terrified and did not dare to chase after Luo Qingzhou anymore!

Those people said that he was just a weak scholar! How could he possibly shatter the skull and ribcage of Second Brother and Fourth Brother with a punch and a kick? This man was even more cruel than them!

The thin man looked at the corpses on the ground. He was also feeling shocked and had an ugly expression. However, when he looked at the corpses, he managed to put clues together to form a conclusion. He gritted his teeth and said, “That scholar is also a martial artist! However, he’s only at the Skin

Refining Realm. Chase!”

He had already successfully refined his skin and was now refining his flesh.

Moreover, he had a maidservant beside him. He could not escape!

If they retreated now, it would be akin to giving up halfway.

Moreover, these few people were outlaws, to begin with. They had been on the verge of death many times, and not knowing when their next meal would be. It was not easy for them to have an opportunity to earn a large sum of money.

After succeeding, they could leave and have a carefree life. How could they give

They could most definitely kill Luo Qingzhou, how could they allow him to give them the slip?

The thin man was the first to rush into the forest.

The remaining two men looked at each other. A fierce glint flashed across their eyes. They gritted their teeth, gripped their daggers tightly, and followed..
