At the start of the game, you have one equipment slot; the effects of unequipping the equipment rema

Su Family Village, Su Family Residence.

The sun shines brightly in the sky, and fluffy white clouds drift by.

In the courtyard, plump red fruits hang from the branches, swaying gently in the breeze.

This should have been a beautiful afternoon, if not for the shattered remains scattered everywhere and the pools of blood flowing down the ground.

"It would be great if this place were full of monsters."

Mu Yang threw away the broken spear and looked at the corpses scattered on the ground, sighing inwardly.

Turning his gaze away, Mu Yang walked up to one of the few remaining targets in the courtyard who was still breathing.

It was that fourth-tier donkey demon that Su Hai had whipped and vented his anger on.

Seeing Mu Yang approach, the donkey demon raised its head, a glint of survival flashing in its half-open eyes, and made a "hoarse" sound in its throat.

It sounded like they were begging for mercy.

Mu Yang ignored him.

The black, four-sided mace, stained crimson with blood, rose and fell under the blazing sun.

"Bang--!"

The wailing stopped, and another headless corpse appeared in the courtyard.

......

[Ding! Detected that the host has slain a fourth-tier donkey demon, equipment.........]

Current number of available equipment slots: 5

......

"Thank you to the few monsters you sent."

Mu Yang said something symbolically in his mind.

Even without any other gains from today's journey, this one fourth-tier donkey demon alone was enough to satisfy him.

After all, high-level demons are not easy to find.

Mu Yang shook off the bloodstains on his mace and turned to look at the woman in the wooden cell.

His eyes were unfocused, and he was motionless. It was unclear when he had stopped breathing.

I don't know what this woman did to offend Su Hai, that he's tormenting her like this.

Su Hai: If you knew, you would understand.

Mu Yang withdrew his gaze, sheathed the black gold four-sided mace, and looked up at the rooftop.

"Have you three had enough?"

The sound wasn't loud, but it carried clearly throughout the entire courtyard.

On the rooftop, Lei Jiaojiao, who was about to get up and leave, paused and glanced back at Mei Cao.

Mei Cao closed her folding fan, shrugged slightly, indicating that she didn't know when she had been discovered.

Lei Sai looked completely bewildered, glancing left and right as if trying to confirm whether Mu Yang was calling them.

"Let's go. Since we've been discovered, let's be open about it."

Lei Jiaojiao stood up, touched the ground with her toes, and lightly fell from the roof.

Mei Cao followed closely behind, gently waving her folding fan, her clothes fluttering, and she landed without making a sound.

Lei Sai was the last to come down, and when he met Mu Yang's gaze, he gave a slightly stiff smile.

Stalking, no, peeping, no, in short, he felt inexplicably embarrassed as if he had been caught doing something wrong by his parents.

"Brother Mu."

Lei Jiaojiao clasped her hands in a fist and said frankly, "It was our presumption to come along today. Please forgive us."

"We were originally planning to go out of town for a spring outing, but that kid Lei Sai just happened to see you leaving town."

She paused, then glanced at Lei Sai behind her: "It turns out that this kid was particularly curious about what a genius like you does on a daily basis, and he insisted on coming to see for himself. We couldn't persuade him otherwise, so we followed him all the way."

Lei Sai: ? ? ?

Sis, didn't you say you were going to come and take a look?

Brother Mu, he's slandering me!

Lei Sai's eyes widened, wanting to open his mouth to refute, but after meeting Lei Jiaojiao's gaze, he silently shut up.

"Brother Mu, I'm sorry." Lei Sai lowered his head, his voice muffled.

Mu Yang waved his hand without saying anything more.

His tracking skills, keen sense of smell, and increased observational abilities brought about by the enhanced strength of his soul make it difficult for any movement in the surroundings to escape his perception.

The reason I'm only revealing this now is simply to express my attitude.

"I'm sorry, Brother Mu!"

After bowing and apologizing, Mei Cao suddenly spoke up: "However, this matter is not over yet. I hope Brother Mu will be careful in the coming days."

Mu Yang looked at him and continued, "Su Hai and the Eight Directions Chamber of Commerce are nothing to fear. They are just a group of profit-driven merchants banding together for warmth. They don't have any real experts. But Pingwei Escort Agency is different."

Mei Cao paused, closed his folding fan, and tapped his palm lightly: "Bao Tian, ​​the founder of Pingwei Escort Agency, is a fifth-level Meridian Opening Realm martial artist who opened four major meridians a long time ago."

"I heard he's recently gone into seclusion again, most likely trying to break through to the mid-stage of the Meridian Opening Realm and prepare to open his fifth major meridian!"

To reach the Meridian Opening Realm, one needs to open all twelve major meridians.

The initial stage is when one meridian is connected, the middle stage is when five meridians are connected, and the later stage is when nine meridians are connected.

When all twelve meridians are fully opened, one reaches the perfect state of meridian opening, and the strength of a single arm can reach 600,000 jin.

Mei Cao looked at Mu Yang, her tone becoming more serious: "Bao Tian was known for his ruthlessness when he was young. Although he is old now, his bloodthirstiness has not diminished. You killed his son, and he will not let it go."

"Thank you for the reminder, Brother Mei."

Mu Yang nodded.

At the fifth level of the Meridian Opening Realm, one has opened up four major meridians, and the strength of one arm exceeds 200,000 jin.

If combined with true qi and martial arts skills, it is indeed not to be underestimated.

But it's only "not to be underestimated".

When he first entered Qinghe County, he knew he was no match for them.

But five days later, he was no longer the same person.

Moreover, there is still equipment that has not been used yet.

"Regardless of the circumstances, it was wrong of us to come along today without permission."

Lei Jiaojiao took over the conversation, her tone decisive: "I will help you explain the matter of Su Family Village and the Eight Directions Chamber of Commerce to the government."

"I will also help you deal with the Pingwei Escort Agency in the name of the Lei family. At least within the city, that old bastard Bao Tian won't cause you any trouble."

Mu Yang glanced at Lei Jiaojiao.

Those who know about chambers of commerce understand that they are inevitably involved with the local government.

The larger the scale, the deeper the involvement.

Not to mention the Bafang Chamber of Commerce, a top-tier chamber of commerce in Qinghe County.

He originally planned to tell Dai Wang what had happened after returning to the city, and then go to the Demon Slayer Bureau overnight to stay for a while and avoid trouble.

To prevent difficulties in making decisions.

In any case, given his status in the Demon Slayer Division, he would never face any overt pressure if he was in the right.

However, it would be even better if Lei Jiaojiao was willing to help.

The Lei family is one of the two most powerful families in Qinghe County. With her, the current prodigy of the Lei family, taking the lead, the affairs of the Eight Directions Chamber of Commerce and Su Family Village are nothing more than trivial matters.

"That's troublesome."

Mu Yang bowed slightly.

"You're welcome. See you later."

Lei Jiaojiao returned the greeting with clasped hands and turned to leave.

Lei Sai followed behind.

Mei Cao walked at the back, Chong Muyang nodded slightly, and then disappeared into the courtyard in a flash.

After watching the three leave, Mu Yang turned his attention away and began to count the spoils of war.
