Peerless Tang Sect: Bind to God King Tang San at the beginning

Chapter 90 Threat
Zhu Lu's face was filled with fear, tears welling up in her eyes. She clutched Deng Mu's arms tightly with both hands and begged in a sobbing voice, "Please let me go. I don't want to die."

She felt that Deng Mu's power was growing stronger and stronger, and she would die soon.

Zhu Lu's face had turned red, and the fear in her eyes was almost overflowing. She used all her strength to grab Deng Mu's arm, but Deng Mu remained unmoved, and the strength in his hand continued to increase slowly.

"Deng Mu, I really know I was wrong. I swear I will never tell anyone. Please have mercy on me and let me go this time. I don't want to die like this." Zhu Lu's voice was hoarse and filled with desperate tears. It seemed as if she had used up all her strength to say every word.

Her legs began to go weak. If Deng Mu hadn't been holding her neck and pushing her against the wall, she would have collapsed to the ground.

But Deng Mu's face was still cold, and his eyes were full of determination, as if he had made up his mind to end her life at this moment.

Seeing this, Zhu Lu struggled and shouted, "I... I can do something for you. I will tell you everything about what happened to Huo Yutong. I really beg you."

Deng Mu paused slightly after hearing Zhu Lu's words, but the coldness and determination in his eyes remained undiminished. He leaned closer to Zhu Lu, lowered his voice, and said coldly, "Do you think I can still trust you? You and Dai Huabin have always been the same old raccoon. Now that he's dead, you're begging for mercy. You're just saying these things to save your own skin."

Zhu Lu's tears trickled down her flushed cheeks. She shook her head desperately and said anxiously, "No, no, I'm serious this time. I'm really scared. I was foolish to follow Dai Huabin before, but now I see clearly. If you let me go, I will follow your lead from now on. If there's anything happening with Huo Yutong, I'll tell you immediately. I won't dare hide anything."

After listening to Zhu Lu's words, Deng Mu relaxed a little and began to think.

Dai Huabin’s death is likely to make them think that it has a lot to do with Huo Yutong, and they will try to find a way to kill Huo Yutong.

With Zhu Lu providing information, Huo Yutong can solve those troubles.

Deng Mu slowly released his hand that was pinching Zhu Lu's neck. Zhu Lu's body softened and she slid down the wall to the ground, gasping for breath. The relief of surviving the disaster was clearly visible in her eyes.

Zhu Lu raised her hand to wipe the tears from her face, still looking at Deng Mu with lingering fear, not daring to slack off in the slightest.

Looking at Zhu Lu on the ground, Deng Mu took out a bottle of medicine and planned to feed it to Zhu Lu.

Looking at the medicine in Deng Mu's hand, Zhu Lu's original relief at surviving the disaster instantly disappeared. She widened her eyes and tried to struggle to avoid it, but her body was still weak.

Zhu Lu had no strength left and could only cry out in despair, "Deng Mu, you...you said you would let me go, why did you feed me poison? You can't do this!"

Deng Mu's face was expressionless. He clamped Zhu Lu's chin with one hand, forcing her to open her mouth. With the other hand, he quickly poured the poison into her mouth and said, "I won't trust you so easily. I'll feed you this poison first. As long as you are obedient and come to me on time every month to get the antidote, I will naturally protect your life. If you dare to have any evil thoughts, this poison will take effect and make you want to live or die."

This isn't a poison, it's just a medicine for stomachache. I made it out of boredom and never thought it would come in handy.

Poisoning her was useless, so Zhu Lu went directly to a soul master for treatment, who could cure her immediately, and the other party could use the poison in his body to prove his innocence.

But if others find that she was not poisoned, then the Dai family is unlikely to believe that Dai Huabin’s death has nothing to do with Zhu Lu.

Zhu Lu felt the medicine sliding down her throat, and her stomach suddenly churned with discomfort. She collapsed to the ground, clutching her stomach, her face filled with pain and resentment. She cried and cursed, "Deng Mu, you are so despicable. You actually lied to me. I already promised to help you, and you still treat me like this."

Deng Mu just looked at her coldly, unmoved, and said calmly, "I'm just taking precautions. You're Dai Huabin's fiancée, how could I trust you so easily? Although this medicine makes you uncomfortable now, as long as you keep your promise and come to get the antidote on time, your life will not be in danger. But if you dare to betray me, the consequences will be a thousand times more painful than now."

Listening to Deng Mu's words, Zhu Lu secretly thought that she would definitely return the favor.

Dai Huabin is dead, so nothing will happen to her. She can just tell the Duke of Baihu's Mansion directly after returning. Even if they suspect her, it's nothing, because she has the Zhu family to protect her.

Deng Mu looked at Zhu Lu and said, "Use three soul skills to attack Dai Huabin's body."

After listening to Deng Mu's words, Zhu Lu was really desperate. The other party had no intention of letting her go.

As long as Dai Huabin's body is found, she will be one of the murderers of Dai Huabin, and the Duke of Baihu will never let her go.

The Zhu family would not protect her at that time. Her behavior was very serious. The Duke of Baihu and the Zhu family would prosper and suffer together.

When the Zhu family finds out about her "killing" her fiancé when she returns, they will personally deal with her.

In the current situation, if she doesn't take action, she will definitely die, but if she gets on Deng Mu's pirate ship, she can survive.

After thinking it over, Zhu Lu gritted her teeth, got up from the ground, and walked towards Dai Huabin's body.

Dai Huabin's body was attacked several times, leaving damage caused by the Nether Spirit Cat.

Now she has completely boarded Deng Mu's pirate ship and there is no possibility of getting off.

She had to get close to Deng Mu. Deng Mu dared to kill Dai Huabin, so he must not be afraid of the White Tiger Duke's Mansion. Moreover, Deng Mu is still a student in Shrek's inner courtyard. His talent and strength must be good. It will be easy for him to become a Titled Douluo in the future.

But she had no one else to rely on except the Zhu family. If the White Tiger Duke's Mansion found the body, she would surely die without anyone to rely on.

Apart from Deng Mu, she had no other choice, but she needed to think carefully about it.

Looking at Zhu Lu who acted without hesitation, Deng Mu secretly sighed. Zhu Lu really did not hesitate, but this was normal because the other party wanted to survive.

By leaving Zhu Lu's attack behind on the corpse, he didn't have to worry about Zhu Lu telling Dai Huabin's brother about this after returning.

After all, Dai Huabin showed signs of being attacked by the Netherworld Spirit Cat Martial Spirit, and Zhu Lu, Dai Huabin's fiancée, was the first person to be suspected.

By that time, Zhu Lu would be in trouble and would most likely be killed by people from the White Tiger Duke's Mansion.

Zhu Lu turned around and walked over to Deng Mu. "I've already left an attack on his corpse. Those familiar with Netherworld Spirit Cats will be able to tell them apart easily. Can I go now?"
