Dragon King Hall's Legend-Chapter 1616: Return to Xiaolin Village! Shocking Calamity!

With Chu Huannian using teleportation to travel, Mu Jinyu's journey into the Qinghe Mountain Range this time naturally didn't need to take four to five days. It only took a little over a shichen before he returned to the vicinity of Xiaolin Village.

"This place is indeed quite remote, but it doesn't seem..."

Chu Huannian quietly observed Xiaolin Village ahead, softly uttering, shaking her head and not finishing her sentence.

Her thought was that this place didn't seem to be where pureblooded humans could appear.

But after all, she hadn't entered Xiaolin Village, so she couldn't be sure that her judgment would be correct.

"Let's go."

Mu Jinyu said to Chu Huannian, then took steps toward the quiet village ahead.

Chu Huannian followed suit.

Soon, both of them arrived at the village entrance.

"Sniff sniff..."

Mu Jinyu felt the village's quietness was excessively eerie, then caught a whiff of a bloody smell, causing him to twitch his nose slightly.

His expression instantly changed, turning somewhat pale.

This bloody smell wasn't emitted from the blood of a ferocious beast, but was mingled with human blood of foreign origin...

In the Examination Mansion of Donghua City, he had also killed over a hundred Heaven's Pride, and having just left not long ago, he was naturally very familiar with this kind of bloody smell!

Could it be...

Something happened to Xiaolin Village?

Mu Jinyu's expression turned frantic and anxious, and he quickly ran into the village.

Chu Huannian reacted quickly as well, her complexion changing slightly, chasing after Mu Jinyu.

As the Chu Kingdom's God of War, with tens of thousands dead by her hands, how could she not tell that this bloody smell came from humans, rather than hunted ferocious beasts?

Her first reaction was that something happened in this small village, worrying that Mu Jinyu might rashly rush in and encounter danger, so she quickly followed!

"Bang!"

Mu Jinyu charged into the village, kicking at the door of the first house near the entrance. With a bang, the door was kicked open, and a stronger bloody smell instantly overwhelmed the senses.

Mu Jinyu looked at the scene inside the house of the brutally killed family of three, his face turning even more ghastly pale without blood.

"This..."

Standing behind Mu Jinyu, Chu Huannian couldn't speak as she looked at the brutal murder scene inside the house.

Mu Jinyu felt terrible, as the people living in this room were not those villagers who harbored hostility towards him due to his claims of enhanced bloodline intensity after consuming certain Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures, but were people like the Old Village Chief and Elder Ji, who always treated him kindly.

Yet the elderly man now lay dead at home along with his son and daughter-in-law, with even their flesh gruesomely devoured.

"Shush!"

Mu Jinyu couldn't hold back any longer, forcefully suppressing the fear in his heart, he directly released his Divine Sense, instantly covering the entire Xiaolin Village.

Then, using his Divine Sense, he quickly checked each house.

Dead!

All dead!

Some were skinned alive and nailed to the wall, dying in agony!

Some were limbless, turned into human sticks and suffocated in dung pits!

And some...

The more Mu Jinyu looked, the more his body trembled terribly.

He wasn't afraid, but furious, his murderous intent rising!

Who on earth?

Who would brutally murder the villagers of Xiaolin Village like this?

Although only a few villagers treated him well, seeing these people almost all killed so cruelly, Mu Jinyu no longer cared about the past conflicts; he wanted revenge for them!

"Master?!"

At this moment, Mu Jinyu's heart sank, his Divine Sense slowly sweeping to the Old Village Chief's home, furiously discovering that the Old Village Chief was also skinned, dismembered, and nailed to the wall of his home.

The blood nearly covered the entire wall, suffocating to behold.

Yet despite such harm, the Old Village Chief was not dead, still possessing a faint breath!

Perhaps because he cultivated the complete "Blood Tempering Method," his Qi-Blood was more vigorous, allowing him to survive until now?

"Master!"

Mu Jinyu shouted in a trembling voice, rushing into the Old Village Chief's room!

"Bang!"

With a forceful kick, the door was kicked wide open and Mu Jinyu charged into the room, trembling as he pulled out the iron nails embedded in the Old Village Chief's chest and abdomen!

"Hiss!"

As the nails were extracted, the Old Village Chief, who had been pinned to the wall awaiting death, immediately slid down like a painting from the wall.

Mu Jinyu quickly caught him, continuously channeling Blood Essence frantically into the Old Village Chief.

"This..."

Chu Huannian came over, feeling unbearable to look at the Old Village Chief's condition, her face turning pale.

Still, she noticed that the Old Village Chief seemed to still have a mouthful of breath left, and with Mu Jinyu's unique Blood Essence, there might be a chance to save him.

"Ugh... urgh..."

After a long moment, the Old Village Chief, who had been receiving Blood Essence input, painfully and arduously opened his eyes, his gaze numb and hollow, devoid of emotion. 𝓯𝙧𝓮𝓮𝒘𝓮𝙗𝙣𝒐𝒗𝒆𝓵.𝓬𝓸𝒎

Upon seeing Mu Jinyu, those seemingly dead eyes showed a slight ripple.

"Jinyu?!"

"Why did you... come back? Hurry... go..."

The Old Village Chief spoke with difficulty, his voice raspy with despair and anxiety, urging Mu Jinyu to leave immediately, while blood bubbled from his mouth!

Mu Jinyu ignored him, and continued to concentrate on transferring Blood Essence to him. Soon, the Old Village Chief realized that Mu Jinyu was trying to save him.

But the Old Village Chief knew his injuries well, knew he was beyond saving, unless with those top-grade Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures, otherwise his path was just waiting for death.

"Don't waste your energy, my limbs are cut, my skin is peeled, even if you restore my Qi-Blood, what then? I am nearing my end, just go quickly, don't think about avenging us..."

The Old Village Chief's voice suddenly became less intermittent, but after finishing his words, he fell completely silent!

"Master!!!"

Seeing this, Mu Jinyu opened his eyes in anger, instantly shedding tears of blood, letting out a cry of pain and frustration.

After speaking those words, the Old Village Chief, to prevent Mu Jinyu from continuing to waste energy on him, severed his heart veins, ending his life completely!

This left Mu Jinyu feeling powerless and pained!

If...

If he still had Life Source Energy now, he wouldn't be unable to save the Old Village Chief, wouldn't be unable to restore his severed limbs and skin, wouldn't have wasted effort for no purpose...

"Puff!"

Mu Jinyu's body trembled, he spat out a mouthful of blood.

"Jinyu..."

Seeing this, Chu Huannian's sorrowful face changed too, she didn't expect the Old Village Chief's death would be such a heavy blow to Mu Jinyu.

She hurriedly entered the room to support Mu Jinyu, not knowing how to comfort him.

Initially, he finally passed Dongyue Mansion's entrance examination, which was a major joyous occasion, he was ready to return home to share the news with his family and friends, yet he encountered such a drastic change, the entire village slaughtered, indeed, the blow was unimaginably great!

"Oh, there are still living people? I was wondering where the ghostly cries were coming from! Tsk tsk..."

At this moment, while assisting Mu Jinyu, Chu Huannian suddenly heard a voice behind them, indifferent and mocking.
