Chapter 72 Discovering the Evil Soul Master.
Half a month passed in the blink of an eye.
"Phew, finally arrived."
Deng Mu stepped down from the carriage, stretching and sighing.
During these two weeks, he had spent a lot of time coaxing Jiang Nannan, finally managing to appease her.
As for why Jiang Nannan was unhappy, he guessed it was because he and Tang Ya had done *that* thing too early, which had upset her.
Tang Ya jumped down from the carriage, looking at the mansion before her, and said in surprise, "Xiao Mu, our family has become rich?"
She remembered that her family wasn't this big, not this nice; besides becoming rich, she couldn't think of any other possibility.
Jiang Nannan stepped down from the carriage, looking at her new home with a similarly surprised expression.
Hearing Tang Ya's words, Deng Mu nodded: "I got a treasure before, sold it, and that's how I moved to this new home."
Hearing Deng Mu's explanation, Tang Ya and Jiang Nannan looked at him curiously, wondering what good thing he had gotten.
"Brother and sister, welcome home."
Just then, Na'er's voice rang out.
Hearing Na'er's voice, everyone turned towards the gate. Na'er stood there, smiling at the three of them.
She then ran over and threw herself into Deng Mu's arms.
Deng Mu gently stroked Na'er's head and said with a smile, "Na'er, have you missed your brother these past few days?"
Na'er looked up, her eyes sparkling, "Na'er has missed you every day, brother, and also Sister Tang Ya and Sister Jiang Nannan."
Hearing Na'er's words, Deng Mu knew that Gu Yuena was being taken care of.
He had observed Na'er before; when Gu Yuena controlled this body, she wouldn't act like this.
Tang Ya stepped forward and pinched Na'er's cheek, "Na'er has become even prettier. Are you happy in your new home?"
Na'er nodded obediently, "Yes, the new house is great! I even planted lots of pretty flowers in the yard."
Jiang Nannan looked at Na'er, a gentle smile appearing on her face, "Na'er is so capable."
Na'er let go of Deng Mu, walked to Jiang Nannan's side, and took her hand, "Nannan-jie, let me show you the flowers I planted, they're so beautiful."
Jiang Nannan, being pulled by Na'er, had no choice but to follow her home.
Seeing this, Deng Mu and Tang Ya exchanged glances and walked home together.
"Hmm?"
Just then, Deng Mu noticed someone secretly watching him.
Deng Mu remained calm and subtly gave Tang Ya a wink. Tang Ya understood and nodded slightly, becoming alert as well.
The two slowed their pace, pretending to be nonchalant, but constantly paying attention to their surroundings.
As Deng Mu walked, he quietly surveyed his surroundings, trying to pinpoint the location of the person secretly watching him.
Tang Ya leaned closer to Deng Mu and whispered, "Xiao Mu, could some trouble be brewing?"
Deng Mu lowered his voice and replied, "I don't know yet, it's best to be careful."
At that moment, Deng Mu noticed a person hiding in the corner. The person was wearing a black cloak, making it impossible to see their face.
Upon seeing the person, Deng Mu's first thought was that they were an evil spirit master; he couldn't think of any other possibility.
"Sister Xiao Ya, you go inside first. If Mother and the others ask where I went, just say I had something to do."
"Okay, be careful."
Tang Ya nodded in understanding as she listened to Deng Mu's words, but she was still somewhat uneasy.
She had witnessed Deng Mu's strength in that battle, but she was still worried something might happen to him.
Deng Mu whispered, "I'll be careful, don't worry, Sister Ya."
He felt that if he didn't deal with the other party now, they might come over that night. That would be difficult; the other party might use his mother as a hostage, and if they ambushed him, it wouldn't be a big deal.
Hearing Deng Mu's words, Tang Ya sighed and went inside.
Deng Mu watched Tang Ya enter the mansion, then turned and cautiously approached the direction of the man in black. The man in black seemed to sense Deng Mu's intention, and with a flash, quickly fled towards the outskirts of the city.
Deng Mu quickly used his movement technique to give chase, not daring to relax for a moment, closely following the other party's trail.
Before long, the two arrived at the wilderness, one after the other.
The area was overgrown with weeds, surrounded by rolling hills. The occasional low growl of a wild beast added to the eerie atmosphere.
The man in black finally stopped, slowly turning around. His black cloak billowed in the wind, faintly emanating a nauseatingly malevolent aura.
"Who are you? What is your purpose?"
Deng Mu asked, looking at the man in black before him.
The man in black slowly raised his head, revealing a gaunt, wrinkled face. Deep-set eyes gleamed with an eerie light, like ghostly fire from hell.
Beneath a high, straight nose, thin lips were like knives, exuding a coldness. Disheveled white hair peeked out from under the hood, flying wildly in the wind, and the malevolent aura emanating from him was chilling.
The man in black looked at Deng Mu and let out a sinister laugh: "Boy, who I am is unimportant. What matters is that you will die by my hand."
He thought to himself, "The god's task is really simple; he actually sent me to kill a little brat. "
Regarding Deng Mu's strength, he felt he was at most a Great Soul Master.
Hearing the man in black's words, Deng Mu understood that the other party had been lured here by Tang San.
"Then let's see who's stronger!"
Deng Mu shouted, instantly releasing his Blue Silver Emperor Martial Soul. His first Soul Skill, Life Shield, spread rapidly like a pale blue halo, enveloping his entire body.
Simultaneously, Deng Mu used Ghost Shadow Illusion, his figure flashing and rapidly changing positions, making it difficult for the man in black to predict his movements.
Seeing Deng Mu's caution, the man in black let out a cold snort, then unleashed his first Soul Skill, Shadow Strike.
In an instant, his figure seemed to blend into the darkness, disappearing without a trace.
Deng Mu dared not relax for a moment, activating his Purple Demon Eye at full power. Purple light swirled in his eyes, piercing through layers of darkness, locking onto the location where the man in black was about to appear.
Just as the man in black appeared behind Deng Mu like a ghost, his Shadow Soul-Devouring Claws, wreathed in eerie green soul flames, lashed out, Deng Mu, as if he had eyes in the back of his head, lightly touched the ground with his feet, and deftly dodged the fierce attack.
Simultaneously, he swung his Clear Sky Hammer, sending it hurtling towards the man in black.
Seeing this, the man in black hurriedly withdrew his claws to defend himself.
"Clang!"
A deafening sound, like the tolling of a great bell, shook the surrounding air, and the powerful impact caused the man in black to stagger.
He retreated hastily, utterly astonished, realizing he hadn't expected such strength.
