Chapter 161: Chapter 0161: Battle with the Ghost Poison Sect
"Ghost Poison Sect! You really made your move!" Chu Ge’s gaze turned cold as he murmured softly.
He looked at Shen Yaoyao and asked, "What happened then? What is the situation now?"
Shen Yaoyao showed a relieved expression and patted her chest, saying, "I was almost scared to death at the time, but luckily those people didn’t seem to want to cause a big commotion, so they prepared to sneak in quietly. Sister Mu and I deliberately chatted loudly in the room and said some misleading things."
At this point, Shen Yaoyao’s little face clearly showed a sense of pride, but she quickly composed herself and continued, "However, this is not a solution in the long term. Fortunately, the villa next door caught fire, and the flames were spreading. Many people rushed over to put out the fire, and a large group came knocking on our door, telling us to hurry out. So the people left."
"Mhm!" Chu Ge nodded.
The incident at Ouyang Family’s Mansion, although brazenly executed by the Ghost Poison Sect, was done covertly after all. Now, with so many people around, and with the villas here being occupied by the upper echelons of Shanghai, even the Ghost Poison Sect would not dare to act so blatantly in front of so many people.
With Chu Ge present, the two women instantly found their support and were no longer worried, while the fire at the neighboring villa was also controlled, and the crowd of onlookers began to slowly disperse.
Shen Yaoyao covered her mouth and yawned: "Brother-in-law, you’re not leaving tonight, right? I’m going to sleep, I’m so tired!"
Chu Ge looked at his watch; it was almost past one o’clock in the morning.
"Everyone go to sleep." Seeing that the people were about to disperse, Chu Ge also led the two women back to the villa.
"Then you..." Mu Bingtong looked at Chu Ge worriedly. The people who had wanted to infiltrate the villa clearly had bad intentions. Although she knew Chu Ge was very skilled, she still felt uneasy and whispered, "Why don’t we spend the night somewhere else?"
"No need," Chu Ge waved his hand dismissively: "You can hide for a while but not for a lifetime. These people are more annoying than flies; they won’t stop until they achieve their goal."
Seeing Mu Bingtong’s overt worry, Chu Ge gave her a reassuring smile: "Don’t worry, I’ve got this."
As if given some assurance, Mu Bingtong’s pretty face could not help but redden slightly, but her heart was completely settled. The villa was dark, she looked at the outline of Chu Ge’s face in the darkness, and softly said, "Be careful!"
The ambiguous atmosphere lasted only a brief moment, as Mu Bingtong was a rational woman. It was hard for her to completely commit to someone, but once she did, it would be for a lifetime, till death do them part!
And during this period of time together, although she had grown fond of Chu Ge, she had not yet completely committed to him.
Of course, Chu Ge was also not in a rush. After all, there was plenty of time ahead, and he was confident that he could fully capture Mu Bingtong’s heart!
Watching Mu Bingtong’s infinitely beautiful figure disappear around the corner of the staircase, the tender expression on Chu Ge’s face instantly vanished, replaced by a cold and stern aura!
He didn’t return to his room but sat cross-legged on the sofa, his eyes lightly closed, yet his sensitivity already spread throughout the entire villa.
Chu Ge guessed that the people from the Ghost Poison Sect would probably come again tonight, nine times out of ten!
The night was cool as water, the silver-white moonlight streamed down through the windows, casting various shapes on the ground.
Suddenly, the bright moonlight dimmed for an instant then swiftly returned to normal. In that brief moment, Chu Ge’s eyes snapped open: "You really did come!"
On the villa’s rooftop, unbeknownst to anyone, several men clad in black robes had already taken their places. Indeed, black clothing would be quite conspicuous on a moonlit night, but these men clearly had no intention of hiding.
And their position was directly above Mu Bingtong’s bedroom! It was evident that this group had already thoroughly figured out Mu Bingtong’s daily routines well before their arrival!
"Tsk, tsk, tsk." One of the men shook his head, a tinge of pity in his tone: "Such a rare beauty, even among our Sects she would be considered a gem. To die with her body festering away is truly a pity."
"Hmph!" The person beside him, who sounded like a middle-aged man, snorted coldly: "Our main target this time is Chu Ge, suspected to be at the realm of Postnatal Perfection. Just drop the poison diligently and don’t get any funny ideas. If you alert that guy, no one will be able to save you!"
"Sorry to interrupt, gentlemen, the ’guy’ you’re talking about... Should be me, right?"
Just when the men were about to release the poison, a voice suddenly came from behind them.
The middle-aged man who had spoken before stiffened, slowly turning around, only to find Chu Ge standing behind them with hands behind his back, a faint smile on his face. However, his gaze was filled with an ice-cold murderous intent!
"You..." The middle-aged man’s lips trembled. The young man before him seemed naive and tender, yet he knew that this was a genuine high-level martial practitioner of the Postnatal Realm, possibly even at the state of Postnatal Perfection, just one step away from the Innate realm!
"Gentlemen, it is indeed a dark and windy night perfect for murder. Surely you would like to do something about it?" Chu Ge said this while walking slowly towards them with hands still behind his back, the moonlight falling on him, casting a long shadow behind him.
Unconsciously, the middle-aged man took a step back, fine beads of sweat could be vaguely seen trickling down his forehead. Although the report had mentioned that Chu Ge was very formidable, that was only what was on paper.
Only by facing this young man in person could one truly feel that mountain-like terrifying pressure!
"Run!"
Suddenly, the middle-aged man threw a clump of black sand-like substance towards Chu Ge, reeking of a strong fishy odor. Meanwhile, the men in black quickly retreated following the middle-aged man.
The smile finally faded from Chu Ge’s face. At the same moment, he flicked his sleeve, and True Qi surged, forming an invisible wall of Qi that dissolved all the Black Sand.
The middle-aged man’s pupils constricted, aware of the potency of the Black Sand. Anyone hit by it was almost certainly doomed. Even if Chu Ge was at Postnatal Perfection, he would be in great trouble. Yet, it was so casually neutralized!
At the same time, a voice suddenly sounded in his ear: "Leaving just like that, would it not seem a bit too hasty?"
The middle-aged man internally cursed his bad luck, forcefully stomping on a tree branch with his left foot, breaking the thick branch the size of an adult’s thigh, his body shifting sideways with that force.
However, to his despair, Chu Ge was already waiting at his side, still with hands behind his back, smiling at him.
And at Chu Ge’s feet were several people lying all over the ground in disarray.
