Chapter 6 Turning Black into White

As the saying goes, "eyes watch the nose, nose watches the heart."

Jiang Huoyu noticed that Chen Mu seemed extremely interested in martial arts, so she immediately spoke up in a clear voice.

"Martial arts Secret Manuals, is that it?! My Jiang Family has plenty of secret treasures! I have several supreme techniques here..."

"The 'Supreme Emotion-Forgetting Record'! When you Cultivate it to a profound level, you can sever the seven emotions and six desires, your heart will be like still water, and you will be immune to all techniques!"

"The 'Nine-Turn Profound Origin Technique'! Every time you complete a turn, your power doubles. Once the nine turns are completed, your Physical Body will become saintly!"

"The 'Void Realm Sword Condensation Technique'! Condense a sword with your intent; the sword strikes without form, taking a head from a thousand miles away!"

"And there's this 'Great Dream of a Thousand Autumns Art'! Kill in a dream; one dream lasts a thousand years. When you wake up, the enemy has long since turned into dry bones!"

As her voice fell, Chen Mu's face remained as calm as an ancient well.

Seeing his expression, Jiang Huoyu thought he had been stunned by the divine techniques and supreme arts she had listed, so she immediately added with a smile, "Such divine Cultivation Techniques and Secret Manuals are naturally treasured by the Family, so I couldn't possibly carry them with me! You give me the tiger teeth first, and I will return to the Family immediately to retrieve the Secret Manuals and exchange them with you!"

At this moment, Chen Mu, having heard these Cultivation Technique names that were being bragged up to the heavens, was not stunned at all; instead, he felt like laughing.

Supreme Emotion-Forgetting? Nine-Turn Profound Origin? Void Realm Sword Condensation?

Why doesn't she just say she can ascend in broad daylight and achieve Immortal Ascension in one step!?

Such awesome Cultivation Techniques, and they can be traded for a few tiger teeth? Who is she trying to fool!

If not for the fact that he had read many Xuanhuan novels before his Transmigration, he might have actually been bluffed by these flowery Cultivation Technique names!

"No trade." Chen Mu shook his head and turned to leave.

"Hey! Wait!" Jiang Huoyu panicked and reached out to grab Chen Mu's arm. "I need these tiger teeth... to save someone!"

As she spoke, Jiang Huoyu's eyes reddened, and even her voice took on a sobbing tone.

"That person is suffering from a strange poison. Only the tiger teeth of a hundred-year-old demon tiger, ground into powder, can serve as the medicinal catalyst! I beg you, please have mercy and give the tiger teeth to me!"

But Chen Mu remained unmoved. Saving someone? The woman before him had an unknown origin, her strength was unfathomable, and she was full of lies! Not trustworthy!

Thinking of this, Chen Mu didn't stop and turned to walk out of the mountains. Seeing that Chen Mu was about to leave, Jiang Huoyu hurriedly followed.

"Hey! Why are you so hard-hearted!"

"Can't I just buy them from you with silver? One hundred taels! No, five hundred taels!"

"Stop! If you keep walking, I'll call for help! I'll say you molested me!"

But facing such unreasonable pestering, Chen Mu was not affected in the slightest. Just as the sky was about to brighten, he walked out of the mountains and returned to the territory of Yunmeng.

From a distance, he saw Wu San's house, where a figure wearing ill-fitting coarse men's clothing was peering around from a corner, looking rather suspicious.

Chen Mu's heart stirred, and he immediately walked over. The figure turned around at the same time; under the firelight, a delicate face came into view. Although it was smeared with some soot, the fragility in those brows and eyes clearly belonged to a woman.

"Miss, who are you?" Chen Mu asked with a frown.

The woman was startled and took two steps back. "How... how did you know I was a... lady?"

Chen Mu was speechless. Did he even need to ask? Although she had changed into men's clothing and smeared soot on her face, this figure, this voice, and that feminine manner that couldn't be hidden at all—anyone who wasn't blind could see it.

At this moment, the woman saw Jiang Huoyu behind him and said with a face full of surprise, "Senior! You've returned? Was that Mountain God really dealt with by you?"

Jiang Huoyu cleared her throat. "That Mountain God is already dead."

"Dead?" Upon hearing this, the woman was overjoyed and kowtowed repeatedly, muttering, "That's great! That's really great! Thank you, Senior, for saving my life! Now my father and I can live our lives in peace."

Seeing this scene before him, Chen Mu instantly confirmed the woman's identity—she was none other than Wu Sans Daughter, who was supposed to be married off to the Mountain God!

However... Chen Mu sighed and looked at Wu Sans Daughter. "Live your life well on your own from now on. You don't need to wait for your father anymore; he won't be coming back!"

Once these words were spoken, Wu Sans Daughter froze, then immediately realized what they meant. Living in a world of demons and monsters, the meaning of "won't be coming back" was obvious!

"What... what are you saying?" Wu Sans Daughter's voice trembled. "How do you know this? Has my father really died? Tell me... tell me, who killed my father!?"

As she spoke, Wu Sans Daughter grabbed Chen Mu's clothes tightly. Chen Mu frowned deeply. After hesitating, he decided to speak; after all, Wu San was her biological father, and as his daughter, Wu Sans Daughter had the right to know everything.

"Your father sending you to the Mountain God was clearly instigated by a Chang ghost. He was deeply poisoned and beyond saving! The situation was special at the time, and to protect myself, I..."

After hearing this, Wu Sans Daughter clenched her fists and hammered hard against Chen Mu's chest.

"You! You butcher! So what if my father sent me to the Mountain God? My father gave birth to me and raised me; even if he had killed me with his own hands, I would have accepted it!"

"But what right do you have to kill him? What qualifications do you have to kill him!?"

"Chen Mu, I know you! You are from the Demon Suppression Division! You certainly have quite the official authority!"

"Just you wait! When the sky brightens! I will go to the city to report this! I will go to the Demon Suppression Division to accuse you! I want to see if there is still any law in this Yunmeng city! Can people from the Demon Suppression Division just disregard human life!?"

Seeing that Wu Sans Daughter was hysterical and on the verge of madness, Jiang Huoyu, who had been standing beside Chen Mu, immediately patted Chen Mu's shoulder and said with a soft smile, "Do you want me to help you? As long as I say a few words for you and testify on your behalf, this girl will definitely stop making a scene! Of course, the price is those few tiger teeth!"

But what she didn't expect was this. Chen Mu merely glanced at her and said indifferently, "No need, I can handle it myself."

"You..." Jiang Huoyu was choked with anger and secretly grumbled in her heart. Fine, being tough, are we!? She wanted to see how Chen Mu would resolve this today!

Jiang Huoyu crossed her arms, looking like someone watching the show without fearing trouble. But the next moment, the smile on Jiang Huoyu's face froze...
