Chapter 635 - 635 - Unwilling to FaceIn the pitch-black night, a pair of obsidian eyes suddenly opened, and those black pupils were instantly replaced by blood-red, emitting a strange yet frightening red light throughout the entire night.
Mu Jin held his chest tightly, his heart suddenly throbbing with pain, causing him to frown.
Is it Wei Yuanwei?
Was Wei Yuanwei still alive?
Mu Jin crawled up from the bed, trying to sit up. However, after a day and night of anxiety and exhaustion, his body had already reached its limit.
That head of black hair had turned silver in the span of a night!
When the guards outside heard the commotion inside, they immediately walked in.
The moonlight outside the window just so happened to fall on Mu Jin"s body, fusing together with his silver hair and giving off a feeling of winter.
In addition, his pair of blood-red eyes gave off a feeling that his entire body was freezing, and he didn"t dare rashly approach.
"Master, your body is very weak. Shang Li said that as long as we can find the corpse, we will immediately …" As soon as the guard finished speaking, he felt a chill coming from the top of his head.
It caused him to feel the chill from head to toe, and the chilliness seeped into his bones, causing him to shudder.
"Help me up!" When the guard mentioned the corpse, Mu Jin swept his eyes across the guard"s body coldly. The gaze was extremely ruthless, and then opened his mouth and spoke coldly.
The hidden guard didn"t dare say another word, he walked over to Mu Jin"s bed and helped him up.
When they arrived at the hollow railings, they saw several boats docked on the lakesh.o.r.e. Each of the bows was filled with two big red lanterns.
The night sky, which was as thick as ink, was brightly lit.
Farmers hired from nearby were struggling to pump water from the lake into another well.
Until the lake was completely salvaged.
Ever since Wei Yuanwei had been drawn into the lake, Mu Jin immediately ordered people to search for him. However, this lake was simply too big, and after a few rounds, they still could not find any traces of Wei Yuanwei.
In the end, Mu Jin ordered the lakewater to be scooped clean.
And Mu Jin"s hair had turned white overnight, Shang Li knew that he couldn"t persuade Mu Jin otherwise.
would definitely not give up until they find his corpse.
A dark guard dressed in black walked over to Shang Li and whispered a few sentences into his ear.
Shang Li immediately turned around to look. Indeed, in the moonlight, Mu Jin stood by the railings and looked at the water surface, which seemed as if it would not dry up no matter how he fought.
His silver hair fluttered in the summer breeze, and his blood-red eyes were especially prominent in the dark night.
It was like a wolf king that could make people tremble and howl on a full moon night.
"I"m afraid I"ll need at least a few months to completely clear this lake. If it"s still raining during this period of time, I"m afraid half a year won"t be enough!" Shang Li walked over to Mu Jin"s side.
Looking at his originally long back, he now looked slightly stooped and thin.
The coup six years ago did not crush Mu Jin, but he did not expect Wei Yuanwei"s departure.
He was no longer the gentle and elegant Mu Jin from before.
It turned into ruthlessness. With his cruel personality, no one dared to take a step closer to him.
As for Mu Jin, his b.l.o.o.d.y eyes were still looking at the lake sinisterly. Then, a cold voice came out of his thin lips, "Dig a ditch and let the water flow from the lake into the low water puddle!"
Shang Li looked in the direction where Mu Jin pointed.
"The puddles on the ground have already dug very deep. If we continue digging underground, we"ll be able to come out!" A large part of the lake water flowed into the hole dug by the other side. The depth of the hole couldn"t hold that much water.
"Then expand towards the village at the side!" Mu Jin said without thinking.
Shang Li said coldly: "If we do this, do you know how many commoners are going to be displaced? Mu Jin, you cannot disregard the lives of ordinary citizens just for a Wei Yuanwei! "Then you weren"t like this before!"
Mu Jin instead pursed his lips, her voice bone-chilling cold: "Previously, I was kind and merciful to others, and have tolerated it, thinking that those people would just let it go, but what I got in return was that they kept pressing me down. I wasn"t willing to become enemies with Heavenly Demon Pavilion, but had Heavenly Demon Pavilion ever thought of letting me go? If I were to retreat and endure it, they would only think that I am easy to bully! "
Mu Jin said word by word.
Every word was bone-chilling cold.
"Do you know when I"ve lived at my most comfortable for so many years? When I was Yun Xie, everyone feared me for my ruthlessness and brutality. No one dared to provoke me, and no one dared to become my enemy. Just hearing my name is enough to cause them to tremble in fear! "
"If you want to become cruel and merciless, it"s fine if everyone fears you. But you better not become an executioner like Feng Yin and Baili Qingcheng, and don"t let your hands be stained with too much innocent blood!" Shang Li looked at Mu Jin with a strange gaze.
"In that case, what"s the difference between you and them? Even if Wei Yuanwei is still alive, for you, she will not accept it, even if you are not helping yourself, you have to consider your own descendants! "
"Hahaha... Descendant? Right now, I don"t even know if Wei Yuanwei is alive or dead, just where did I get this descendant from? Even if Wei Yuanwei is still alive, it"s impossible for me to have another descendant! " Mu Jin"s thin lips split open, like a poppies blooming at the corner of his mouth, bright red with a deadly poison.
Shang Li was quiet for a moment, then said: "When Xuan Li reunites with us, I will take care of the other matters with Xuan Li, calm down! Half a month later, we will be discussing how to attack the interior of Heavenly Demon Pavilion unbeknownst to anyone, and then, we will disintegrate the Heavenly Demon Pavilion one step at a time. "
Shang Li knew that Mu Jin had just lost control of himself because of him temporarily losing control. In a few days, he would have less grief, and would be able to handle the situation calmly.
Mu Jin looked at Shang Li, his b.l.o.o.d.y eyes showing no emotions.
"Mu Jin, this is the last time I will help you. Regardless of whether you had broken down Heavenly Demon Pavilion or if you established a new organization, I will not help you anymore!" Shang Li said coldly.
It wasn"t that he was disappointed in Mu Jin, but that he also had his own life.
There was a war in Mo Bei Country, and his father was involved. He could no longer hide, he had to go back and help his father!
Mu Jin did not speak, his shockingly red eyes stared straight at the endless night, the cold moonlight shining on his face, revealing a hint of paleness and tiredness.
Should he fall or rise next?
He watched as Wei Yuanwei was drawn into the vortex, so the chances of her survival were zero.
