Chapter 14: A Mysterious Expert Has Struck First

This blood-soaked thug said in a trembling, stuttering voice, "I... I don't know who it was either!"

It was obvious he had been severely frightened; it was already a miracle he hadn't died of fright.

"Then how did you all end up like this!" Brother Snake questioned the thug with a face full of disbelief and fury.

In Brother Snake's mind, he speculated it might be his enemies—those who knew he had suffered a loss at Chu Muyue's hands and had been threatened, and who wanted to take the opportunity to suppress his morale.

The thug's blood-stained face was filled with terror, as if he had thought of something horrific.

Listening to the thug's explanation, Brother Snake finally understood. It turned out that the ones who had injured his men were not other thugs, but some mysterious others.

Brother Snake had arranged these thugs to come here to make preparations and tidy things up slightly, but no one expected that people would suddenly appear.

Furthermore, these people were actually surrounding and attacking one person simultaneously. After killing several of these thugs, they captured a few others to threaten the person being besieged.

However, the person being threatened didn't seem to care at all; instead, they killed the captured thugs.

It seemed that to prevent their news from leaking out, after the person being besieged escaped, they left one person behind to kill all the remaining thugs here.

This particular thug had been injured at the very beginning and had been unconscious from his severe wounds, only waking up now. He had escaped death, but he was currently suffering from excessive blood loss and serious injuries.

The group of thugs who had arrived later following Brother Snake listened to the thug's explanation and felt a cold wind blow down their spines. Without realizing it, the collars of their shirts had already been soaked through by their own cold sweat.

They felt extremely fortunate that they had arrived late; otherwise, they might have ended up like these people, dying right here.

Brother Snake never imagined he would encounter such a situation. Originally, he had intended to teach Chu Muyue a lesson in a place like this, but the result had turned out to be this tragic.

Listening to the thug's intermittent explanation, a mocking, cold smile appeared at the corner of Chu Muyue's mouth. She showed not a shred of regret for the many deaths.

While life is precious, that is only true when applied to certain people.

They wanted to teach her a lesson, but then a group of people suddenly emerged and killed them.

Chu Muyue lowered her head, inspecting the injuries on the people surrounding her, her brow furrowing slightly.

As a successor of the Profound Medical Sect, she could naturally tell at a glance that these injuries were not inflicted by ordinary people.

According to this thug's description, they had even used his comrades to threaten the person being besieged. Merging these various clues, Chu Muyue guessed that the identities of these two parties must be extraordinary.

However, she did not know who those attackers were, nor did she want to know. After all, it was better to know less about certain things.

"Hehehe, this is what happens when you bring disaster upon yourself!" Chu Muyue stepped forward slowly, looking down at Brother Snake, who was crouching on the ground with a face full of regret and horror. "Even the Heavens have stepped in to teach you a lesson for me!"

Hearing Chu Muyue's voice, Brother Snake looked up, his eyes as venomous as a cobra's.

Although he had never truly met Chu Muyue in person, Hong Yushi had mentioned her to him many times before, and had even sent him her photo previously, telling him to find someone to teach Chu Muyue a lesson.
