Chapter 20: Killing At Dawn, Deadlock
Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Su Mu, who had transford into a Bloodfiend skeleton, was like a ferocious ghost demanding for blood. He was unstoppable!
Even a first-rate warrior barely lasted against him, let alone these second and third-rate warriors.
For a ti, the entirety of North City prison was filled with screams and cries of fear.
So people gave up resisting and waited for death.
So people were not as cooperative and fought to the death.
So people fled in all directions, trying to escape.
But no matter what choice they made, these jailers would all face the sa fate.
Soon, the upper level of North City prison quieted down.
All the jailers were slaughtered by Su Mu!
After killing them, he did not imdiately leave. Instead, he reworked the fatal wounds on the corpses.
This way, no one could find out what kind of moves the jailers had died in, and it was as confusing as possible.
After it was still and silent again, Su Mu’s flesh and blood returned to his body, and he returned to his human form. Then, he calmly entered the basent.
Below was the place where the prisoners were locked up.
…
“Big brother, I’m sorry! I didn’t take good care of my sister-in-law and mu. I’m sorry, big brother!”
Before he even got close, Su Mu heard Xu Congwu’s self-loathing cries.
It seed that he had not eaten the wine and at.
As expected, when he walked to the door, Su Mu saw Xu Congwu hiding in a corner.
The braised at and warm wine were still there, untouched.
Su Mu helplessly sighed and said, “Uncle Xu, Didn’t I tell you to finish eating quickly? Why haven’t you taken a single bite yet?”
Xu Congwu raised his head and looked at him with a look of disbelief.
“Little Mu, you… Weren’t you taken and executed?”
“They’re just a few jailers. They can’t do anything to . Uncle Xu, hurry up and eat. After you’re done, I’ll take you out.”
Su Mu couldn’t explain it to Xu Congwu, so he could only give a vague answer.
When he saw that Su Mu was not dead, Xu Congwu’s guilt and self-bla ebbed away, even if only by a little.
After pondering for a mont, he shook his head and said anxiously, “Little Mu, my wounds run deep. Don’t worry about .
“Hurry up and leave this place, the further the better!
“Also, the head warden of this death cell is a first-rate warrior. You must be careful when you go out.”
Xu Congwu urged Su Mu to quickly escape, but he used his hand to cut open the shackles of the cell and strode in.
After entering the cell, Su Mu brought the wine and at to Xu Congwu and shook the dicine in his hand.
“Now, there are only prisoners left in this death cell.
“I’ve already killed all the wardens, including the head warden.
“Here, this bottle of dicine was in the warden’s room.”
Xu Congwu was dumbfounded.
“You… What do you an? They’re all dead?”
Xu Congwu couldn’t imagine how his nephew, who used to be weak and had a diocre martial cultivation, could pull this off.
He actually had the ability and the courage to do such a thing!
This was… Great!
…
Su Mu comforted Xu Congwu while applying dicine, “Uncle Xu, don’t think too much about it. Just listen to .
“I’ll save Aunt and Xiaoxue after I’ve gotten you out of here and settled you down.
“In short, just listen to my arrangents.”
When Su Mu ntioned his wife and daughter, Xu Congwu’s eyes lit up a little.
Although he didn’t know how Su Mu did it, he could hear a strong sense of confidence from Su Mu’s words.
Perhaps… He could really do it.
Xu Congwu felt a glimr of hope.
He didn’t think about it anymore and started to eat the at and wine in big mouthfuls.
After all, he was a second-rate warrior, and his body was robust.
After the wine and at went down his stomach and they dressed his wounds, Xu Congwu was able to move again.
Su Mu unlocked the heavy shackles on his hands and feet, and took out two sets of clothes he had stolen from outside.
After the uncle and nephew pair changed out of their prison uniforms, they quietly left the death prison.
When they arrived at the first floor, the strong sll of blood made Xu Congwu’s heart tremble.
This nephew of his was ruthless!
However, in this world, there was no place for weak and honest people.
This death prison was like a purgatory.
All the jailers were evil n. No one knew how many prisoners they had tortured to death.
There was no way out.
It was better to kill than be killed!
…
“Little Mu, I know of a sparsely populated morial Hall nearby. We can hide there.”
“Alright!”
After leaving the prison, Su Mu sneaked into a morial Hall under Xu Congwu’s suggestion.
This was the most remote place in Yanjing. Otherwise, the mortuary wouldn’t have been set up here.
No one would find them even if they remained there for a few days.
“Uncle Xu, stay here and recuperate. I’ll go and save Auntie and Xiaoxue now.”
After Su Mu settled Xu Congwu down, he prepared to leave.
Xu Congwu pulled him back and said in a trembling voice, “If you can save them, then save them. If you can’t… Then just protect yourself.
“Rember, your life is the most important!”
Su Mu said nothing. He just patted his hand, indicating for him to rest assured.
Then, with a leap, he disappeared into the darkness.
※※※※※※
After leaving the mortuary, Su Mu did not go to save Xu Congwu’s wife and daughter.
Instead, he returned to the prison and quietly opened all the cell doors.
Very soon, a prisoner noticed this.
This was fine.
After a few prisoners sneaked up to the upper level, they found that all the guards had been killed!
In other words, they could leave this place unimpeded!
The great news almost made these prisoners faint.
They cheered and were extrely excited.
Soon, these prisoners escaped one by one, each escaping to different places.
No one noticed that a pair of eyes had been watching them in the dark!
After all the prisoners had left, Su Mu walked out from the darkness.
He cleaned up the scene and erased all traces that might expose him and Xu Congwu before he left with a peace of mind.
Releasing all the prisoners was also part of Su Mu’s plan.
If he and Xu Congwu were the only ones who had escaped, they would be too obvious a target.
Su Mu first turned himself into a convincingly “dead man” before releasing all the prisoners.
This way, he could muddy the waters and help him buy as much ti as possible.
It was a pity that the prisoners in this death cell were all second or third-rate martial artists, and there were no experts.
Furthermore, they were tortured to the point of being half-dead, and none of them were in any shape to fight.
If there were no outsiders to receive them, it would not take too much ti to capture them.
Five days!
Su Mu had to save Xu Congwu’s wife and daughter within five days, and then find an opportunity to leave Yanjing.
Otherwise, it would be difficult!
…
Su Mu didn’t waste any ti. After leaving the prison, he went straight to the place where Xu Congwu’s wife and daughter had been imprisoned.
Xu Congwu’s wife, Du Wanrong, and daughter, Xu Qingxue, were caught up by their matters and were thrown into a won’s prison.
After a period of ti, the won would be repurposed, and may even end up as prostitutes in the camp!
This aunt of his had treated him quite well.
Su Mu couldn’t let such a tragedy happen!
However, when Su
