Gou Zai Liang Jie as a Human Gu

As Guo Li was engulfed in flames, he clearly realized one thing on his deathbed.

I lost, lost in a confused and bizarre way.

Lin Mo didn't even need to show himself to defeat him, leaving him powerless to fight back.

This defeat was incredibly frustrating.

Pfft!

Guo Li, the Iron Fist of the Tiger Might Camp known as "One Punch Shatters a Mountain," is dead.

He died from his own deadly move, his body engulfed in flames!

Rumble!

A torrential downpour began again in the mountains.

Li Muqing huddled fearfully inside the dilapidated temple, clutching the broken door panel nervously and staring anxiously into the courtyard.

The ground was pitch black, and a charred corpse remained.

Guo Li must have been secretly killed by Lin Mo.

He possessed a perfect method for concealing his presence, making him impossible to track.

They also have an extremely bizarre method of killing.

This person is cunning and scheming; he is absolutely not someone you can defeat by force.

Otherwise, I would be the next one to be burned to death.

Inside the [Mysterious Heaven Treasure Mirror].

Lin Mo observed everything outside the sky through the canopy.

Upon seeing Guo Li, who had been burned alive, he clicked his tongue slightly in amazement.

The power of the curse in the scriptures still surprised him somewhat.

Unfortunately, this useful item requires a seven-day cooling-off period after each use before it can be used again.

Moreover, the power of the curse will gradually weaken with each use until it becomes ineffective.

Suddenly.

The Xuan Tian Bao Jian (Mysterious Heaven Treasure Mirror) has sent a message.

"This works?"

Lin Mo was slightly surprised, but then he made his choice.

  

The next second, a sudden change occurred in the outside world.

Inside and outside the dilapidated temple, the void suddenly cracked open, and a powerful suction force quickly swept the battlefield away.

The corpses and the God-Slaying Crossbows were all absorbed.

The spatial rift then closed.

Hiding behind the door, Li Muqing stared blankly at the vanished corpse, rubbing her eyes in disbelief, wondering if she was seeing things.

The corpses had indeed all disappeared.

Including Guo Li's charred corpse!

Inside the [Mysterious Heaven Treasure Mirror].

Above the sky.

You've been set up to escort the true Crown Princess, Li Muqing, to Thunder Dragon City.

[Xu Ce, a garrison commander of the Tiger Might Battalion under Prince Jing, had his destiny chart secretly manipulated, uncovering Wu Tiande's scheme. He was ambushed and killed halfway. You used the magical artifact "Ten Thousand Tolerance Tortoise Shell" to escape with Li Muqing. Due to the artifact's flaws, you were forced to have sex with her, absorbing the "Kui Niu Strength" to achieve a perfect rebirth.]

[This attempt at spiritual nourishment, unintentionally, disrupted the King's grand plan, but also gained the Li family's fortune, increasing fortune value by 2000.]

[A fierce battle was fought against the Tiger Might Battalion under Prince Jing, resulting in the slaying of 33 enemies, the capture of the divine-slaying repeating crossbow, and the thwarting of Prince Jing's conspiracy. Luck value +1000]

After reviewing the settlement details for picking up the body, Lin Mo frowned slightly.

"Who orchestrated this? Who's the mastermind behind it all?"

This scheme was ostensibly a case of Wu Tiande substituting one person for another, but in reality, it was a covert maneuver.

His original plan was to spread false information to make everyone believe that Lin Mo was secretly escorting a fake princess.

So that their wedding procession would attract everyone's attention.

Unfortunately, his wishful thinking did not come true.

Someone secretly manipulated the destiny chart, causing Xu Ce to see through the scheme. Coupled with Xu Shu's betrayal, the plan ultimately failed.

"Could Xu Shu be the one manipulating the horoscope?"

Lin Mo had some doubts.

There's a 60% chance it's Xu Shu, and a 40% chance that there's a hidden hand behind Xu Shu who manipulated everyone's fates, bringing them together to stage today's grand spectacle.

From myself to Wu Tiande, to Xu Ce, Xu Shu, and Li Muqing, everyone was on the chessboard, becoming a pawn in the opponent's hands.

Thinking of this, Lin Mo couldn't help but break out in a fine layer of cold sweat on his forehead.

This is some incredibly clever manipulation by those behind the scenes.

Without showing their faces, they can control the fate of others and manipulate everyone into a trap.

This technique no longer reflects the spirit of a martial artist.

"Warlock!"

Lin Mo's heart sank.

Who is this person?

Why did he embark on such a grand scheme?

Furthermore, both Prince Li and Prince Jing are to capture Li Muqing alive.

Why is this?

If we only consider the martial arts visualization diagram in her hand...

That would be incredibly stupid.

How could two princes not know the curse of the Li family's servants?

Their purpose was definitely not martial arts; they must have had some other objective.

"If I can't figure it out, I'll go refine these corpses first, get some treasures, and then interrogate Li Muqing properly later."

Lin Mo stepped into the [Hall of Inquiry].

[Would you like to consume 500 points of luck to refine the gains from this life simulation?]

"Refine!"

next moment.

The first of the God-Slaying Crossbows that was found flew into the alchemy furnace.

Next came the corpses of the Tiger Might Camp members, many of them dismembered limbs and broken bones.

Only the corpses of Xu Ce and others were relatively well preserved.

After Xu Ce and the others' corpses were thrown into the alchemy furnace, the corpses of the Crown Princess's two personal maids followed.

Finally, there were Liu Xin and his brothers.

Lin Mo's expression turned somewhat somber as he watched his brothers throw themselves into the alchemy furnace one by one.

Along the way, every little detail of the past came to mind.

Lin Mo felt somewhat heavy-hearted.

"Brothers, may you rest in peace. May you never be reborn as beasts of burden in your next life, and may you live a peaceful and prosperous life."

Lin Mo sighed softly. When a person dies, it's like a lamp going out; no amount of sadness will change that.

Suddenly he realized something was wrong.

Why is one of the corpses missing?

"Where is Sun Qian's body?"

Lin Mo tried hard to recall, and the faces of the corpses flashed before his eyes.

It was confirmed that Sun Qian's face was not there.

How could Sun Qian's body have vanished into thin air?

"He's not dead yet?"

Lin Mo quickly dismissed this conjecture, having witnessed Sun Qian being ambushed by Xu Ce, his chest pierced, and him dying on the spot.

There is absolutely no chance of survival.

But he was not among the corpses.

This is very problematic.

"Mysterious Heavenly Mirror, in the process of settling accounts for corpses, is there a settlement for Sun Qian's life?"

A virtual screen popped up in front of me.

Sun Qian, a sorcerer, used the "skin-painting" technique to create a puppet from animal bones, tendons, and human skin. After its death, the puppet's body had decomposed into remains, which were then thrown into an alchemical furnace.

"Painted Skin Doll!"

Lin Mo's pupils suddenly contracted.

My colleague, who had been my mentor all along, turned out to be a mere puppet!

Previously, it was just speculation that there was a hidden hand behind Xu Shu.

At this moment, it is clear that there is indeed a mysterious master behind this grand drama.

Using sorcerer techniques, they manipulated everyone's "fate charts," working together to stage today's grand spectacle.

"Using people as pawns, a far-reaching strategy, excellent methods, excellent scheming... Wait, why did he target me? I possess the [Mysterious Heaven Treasure Mirror], my destiny has already been obscured, he couldn't possibly have dragged me into this game."

Lin Mo fell into deep thought, unable to understand the problem.

Suddenly, the [Mysterious Heaven Treasure Mirror] sent back a message.

Lin Mo suddenly realized.

A booklet flew onto the alchemy furnace.

This is Sun Qian's marching notes, similar to a diary.

But this is no ordinary diary; it is the sorcerer's Book of Fate.

The Book of Fate, like the life-bound artifacts cultivated by martial artists, belongs to the category of spiritual weapons.

Its function is somewhat similar to one's own scriptures.

The difference is that he can write scripts on it.

The characters mentioned in the script will all have their pre-written plot points and actions secretly fulfilled in real life.

This is the "Book of Fate," which can subtly and perfectly control a person's actions, thereby achieving the owner's goals.

Sun Qian's Book of Fate is just a copy; everything recorded in the copy will appear in the main copy in the hands of the sorcerer.

"It must have been my sword practice that caught his attention, which is why he manipulated the [Destiny Plate] and set up the incident of killing the scouts on a rainy night to gain military merit and pull me into the game... But even though he is very cunning, there are probably some things he couldn't have foreseen."

Lin Mo's lips curled into a smug smile.

The appearance of the [Ten Thousand Torment Tortoise Shell] completely disrupted the sorcerer's plans.

The crown princess, having lost her virginity, found all her opportunities benefiting herself—something the sorcerer could never have imagined.

Lin Mo coldly threw the copy of the [Book of Fate] into the alchemy furnace.

The furnace lid was covered with a roaring fire.

"I wonder what kind of treasure we can refine from these materials this time? I hope it won't have any weird flaws again."

Thinking of everything that happened between Lin Mo and Li Muqing inside the [Ten Thousand Tolerance Tortoise Shell], Lin Mo's handsome face couldn't help but blush slightly.
