Gou Zai Liang Jie as a Human Gu

Inside the courtyard, the guards from the Prince's residence were completely silent.

They watched in horror as Wei Chong fell to the ground.

Wei Chong, who had already reached the threshold of the eighth rank, was a master archer with unparalleled skill. He was virtually invincible in battle and never needed to engage in close combat, yet he lost at this moment.

He lost to his own signature move, and a huge bloody hole exploded in his chest.

The arrow that killed him was so fast that none of them saw it.

Lin Mo's strength with the Golden Blade is unfathomable!

"run!"

Someone was the first to come to his senses. He was so scared that he almost wet his pants, and his legs went weak as he fled in a sorry state toward the outside of the screen wall.

Soon, the others also fled in panic.

They didn't want to die.

Zhou Liehu was no exception; he immediately took off running towards the screen wall.

Suddenly, the scabbard pressed heavily on his shoulder.

"Don't move."

The chilling tone sent a shiver down Zhou Liehu's spine. His legs trembled violently, and he collapsed to his knees with a thud, raising his hands in a desperate plea for mercy: "Young hero, spare my life!"

Lin Mo turned to face him and said coldly, "Now you know fear? Where were you before, you earless pig?"

Zhou Liehu trembled violently, his forehead beaded with cold sweat, which, mixed with Wei Chong's hot blood, slid down his cheeks and dripped onto the ground.

"Young hero, I was wrong. I will never dare to bother the Liu family again. I hope you will be magnanimous and let me go."

Zhou Liehu kowtowed repeatedly in fear, the sound of his kowtow echoing loudly on the floor tiles.

Lin Mo coldly asked, "I'll ask you a question, and you'll answer it. If there's even half a lie, you'll be in trouble and your livelihood will be threatened."

Zhou Liehu stopped kowtowing, raised his head, and nodded repeatedly, as if pounding garlic: "I will tell you everything I know without reservation."

Lin Mo asked, "Who ordered you to come and exploit the Liu family's extinction?"

Zhou Liehu truthfully replied, "It was Instructor Song. He said it was the young master's order, that the army was short of food and pay, and that by capturing Liu, they could confiscate Liu's vast wealth, so that the young master would have more money in his hands and could lead his brothers to eat and drink well, sleep with brothels, and continue to live a carefree and happy life."

Lin Mo didn't recall giving such an order.

It must have been the order issued by the King of Li through the current fake crown prince.

The purpose is self-evident: to accumulate capital for rebellion.

Zhou Liehu continued, "Young hero, it really was the young master's order. We were just following orders. If the young master hadn't instructed us not to use force, we would have taken Liu by force long ago."

"Ha! So the young master wants to gain both wealth and women!" Lin Mo mocked.

Zhou Liehu nodded repeatedly: "Yes, everyone knows that the young master is a womanizer. How could he let such a beautiful woman go to waste?"

Lin Mo threatened Zhou Liehu: "Go back and tell your young master that I, Lin Mo, said that if he wants the Liu family, he should come and get it himself. Don't send any Tom, Dick, or Harry to fill the position. Aren't you afraid of losing face?"

"Yes, yes, I will definitely pass on those words." Zhou Liehu got up and was about to run away.

Lin Mo pressed down with his sword, and with a thud, Zhou Liehu's knee, which had just gotten up, slammed heavily onto the floor tiles again.

The floor tiles cracked instantly, causing him to grimace in pain, but Zhou Liehu dared not show any dissatisfaction. With a mournful face, he looked expectantly at Lin Mo: "Is there anything else you need, young hero?"

Lin Mo asked, "I've heard that the Spirit Essence Pill of True Person Danxia at the Zhishou Temple on Yunxia Mountain will be completed soon. I wonder if the Li Prince's Mansion is interested in this pill?"

Zhou Liehu's expression changed instantly.

Lin Mo immediately shouted, "As expected, you're not only after the Liu family, but also want to seize the Spirit Pill."

Zhou Liehu hurriedly begged for mercy: "Young hero, spare our lives! We didn't want to get involved, but the young master has been indulging in wine and women and his health has deteriorated. He urgently needs elixirs to strengthen his body and replenish his vital energy, so we followed orders and came to steal the elixirs."

"Stealing the elixir?"

Lin Mo was slightly taken aback.

It wasn't stealing the elixir, it was pilfering it?

"How do you steal it?"

Zhou Liehu secretly glanced at Wei Chong's corpse.

Lin Mo immediately realized something and increased the pressure of his horizontal sword by two points.

Zhou Liehu's shoulders suddenly slumped, and he let out a muffled groan, his brows furrowing in pain. He hurriedly confessed the whole truth: "The young master gave us a map of a secret passage. By following the map, we can sneak up to the alchemy room on the mountain without being seen. The map is in Wei Chong's arms. Young hero, I've told you everything I should and shouldn't have said. Please spare my life."

"Get the map out."

Lin Mo escorted Zhou Liehu to search for Wei Chong's corpse.

Soon, they found something wrapped in kraft paper on Wei Chong's lower back.

"This is it." Zhou Liehu presented it with both hands raised high.

Lin Mo didn't reach out to take it, but instead ordered, "Open it!"

Without hesitation, Zhou Liehu hurriedly opened the parchment, took out the map, and unfolded it.

Chi Chi!

A strong corrosive force assaulted Zhou Liehu's hands, which were corroded by the deadly poison and emitted the stench of roasted eggs.

The map is coated with deadly poison!

Lin Mo hurriedly activated his spiritual sense, imprinting all the map's contents into his sea of ​​consciousness, and then shattered the poisonous map with a palm strike.

"what!"

Inside the courtyard, Zhou Liehu rolled on the ground in agony.

His hands, the flesh and skin all went away, and soon turned into bare white bones.

The corrosion was still spreading, from the fingers to the forearms, and it was about to reach the arms, eventually spreading throughout the body.

Overwhelmed with pain, he cried out, "Help me! Help me!"

Without hesitation, Lin Mo drew his sword and slashed his throat.

Zhou Liehu's howling stopped abruptly. His pupils constricted sharply, and he collapsed to the ground, his limbs twitching twice before he died.

Lin Mo sheathed his sword.

"Brother, may you not be a dog in your next life; may you be reborn into a better family."

Even if we don't kill Zhou Liehu now, we can cut off his arms to save his life.

He too could not escape death.

Leaking military orders will not be tolerated by the King.

Even if we spare his life, how can an armless person make a living in this chaotic world?

For Zhou Liehu, living was a humiliation, a living hell.

Death is the only true liberation!

Zhou Liehu's corpse on the ground was quickly dissolved into a skeleton, eerie and terrifying.

Lin Mo frowned: "The methods used by the Prince Li's Mansion are truly ruthless."

To prevent leaks, they even poisoned the map of the secret passage.

Fortunately, Lin Mo possessed spiritual awareness and could instantly imprint the map's contents.

Lin Mo took action and stored the two corpses on the ground into the [Mysterious Heaven Treasure Mirror].

Behind the archway, Li Muqing had been secretly observing the situation. Seeing Lin Mo obtain the map, only to have it destroyed by his palm due to its potent poison, she rushed over anxiously, eagerly demanding, "How much of the map did you memorize? Tell me!"

Lin Mo answered truthfully, "All of them!"

Li Muqing was overjoyed: "Great! Let's go up the mountain now. I need to steal the pill. Please, Lin Mo."

Lin Mo coldly glanced at her, and said disdainfully, "Idiot!"

"You're cursing me again." Li Muqing looked exasperated. "I stole the pill for selfish reasons, but you're not without your own benefits. The Spirit Essence Pill can help you break through to the eighth rank of martial arts and reach the Qi Transformation Realm. Aren't you tempted?"

Lin Mo replied, "I do want to improve my cultivation as soon as possible, but have you considered that the alchemy room, being a sensitive area, might not be unguarded?"

"Furthermore, the elixir hasn't been refined yet; isn't now the best time to steal it?"
