Enlightenment: Beginning as a Disposable Warrior-Chapter 150 - 121: Becoming the Butcher—Leopard’s 50,000 Taels!
The setting sun was like blood, and snowflakes began to drift in the sky.
In the darkness of the night, Su Mu's flesh, bones, and muscles emitted crackling sounds. After taking a few steps, his appearance and figure completely transformed.
At Donghe Inn, people were coming and going.
"Are you here to eat or to stay, sir?"
"Get me a middle-grade room, and bring me a table of good wine and food."
"Got it, sir, please head upstairs!"
Seeing Su Mu going upstairs, a seemingly unremarkable man in the corner of the first-floor lobby glanced silently. After a while, he knocked on Su Mu's door with two long and three short knocks.
This was the code of the Demon Slayer Bureau.
"Come in."
After entering the room, the man scrutinized Su Mu. The person in front of him looked very different from the one described by Shopkeeper Bai. Without further ado, Su Mu produced the Tiger Head Iron Order.
"Subordinate greets you, my lord."
The man immediately knelt down, respectfully taking out a bulging letter made of kraft paper from his bosom.
"Thank you for your hard work. Take this money to buy drinks for your brothers."
Su Mu handed over a silver note.
"Thank you, my lord, for the reward." The man accepted the silver note with a joyful look, and then asked, "My lord, do you want information on this person for..."
The words stopped abruptly.
In the dimly lit room, the candlelight flickered, and the man suddenly felt that the person standing before him was not a human but a demon beast eager to grind teeth and suck blood.
"Do not ask what you shouldn't... you may leave."
"Yes, my lord."
Leaving the room, this man, who was responsible for running errands and gathering information for the Demon Slayer Bureau, had witnessed many scenes and experienced many life-or-death situations, but at this moment, cold sweat dripped from his forehead.
"That man has such a strong oppressive presence... it seems Director Li has recruited a competent tiger general in recent years."
Once the footsteps outside completely faded away, Su Mu opened the envelope under the candlelight to read it.
"Guo Lie, a resident of Canghe County, born in Donghe Town's Guo Family, has an older sister from the same parents, Guo Yu, who is the daughter-in-law of Zhao Pingyuan from Canghe Demon Slayer Bureau. Runs a gambling house in Donghe Town, often engages in extortion, secretly rapes women, ..."
"Zhao Cheng, son of Zhao Pingyuan from Canghe Demon Slayer Bureau, Guo Lie's brother-in-law, one of the commanders of the Canghe Army..."
"Zheng Jun, son of a fallen merchant, Seventh Grade Muscle Strengthening Realm, had a childhood sweetheart engagement with Liu Xiu'er, but Liu Xiu'er was killed by Guo Lie. While seeking revenge, he was severely injured by the Zhao Family's tributor by Guo Lie's side and went missing..."
"Butcher Zhou Yuanba, Seventh Grade Muscle Strengthening Realm, whose family runs a butcher shop, was sealed off by Zhao Cheng who brought the Canghe Army, killed in anger, and attacked and killed three constables... Once received a second-class merit from the Canghe Demon Slayer Bureau, with a bounty of one hundred and fifty taels."
Quickly scanning through, Su Mu slightly frowned.
"The Guo family is indeed arrogant... it turns out to be the little brother-in-law of Director Zhao from Canghe."
His brother-in-law Zhao Cheng is also one of the commanders of the Canghe Army, with the support of the Demon Slayer Bureau and the Canghe Army behind him. No wonder this Guo Lie acts lawlessly, like the local tyrant of Donghe Town.
Similarly, Su Mu wouldn't believe that Zhao Pingyuan, who manages the Demon Slayer Bureau, is completely unaware of his son and Guo Lie's actions.
Whether it's tacit consent or some level of support, Guo Lie's arrogance is inevitably connected to Director Zhao.
At the moment, Su Mu took two wanted orders from the information on numerous enemies, finally settling his gaze on Butcher Zhou Yuanba.
"Zhou Yuanba is more suitable compared to Zheng Jun..."
Zheng Jun directly shares the hatred towards Guo Lie for killing his wife, while Zhou Yuanba was forced by Guo Lie's brother-in-law and seeks revenge on Zhao Cheng, Guo Lie's brother-in-law.
Thus, if 'Zhou Yuanba' makes a scene at the Guo Family Gambling House tonight, no one would associate it with him, nor would it implicate Uncle Li and Xiaohu.
"But there is one exception... that is Li Zhihe."
Using the Tiger Head Iron Order to retrieve information on Guo Lie, this will inevitably reach Li Zhihe's ears afterwards, and he couldn't help but be suspicious when he saw the wanted orders in the secret letter.
"Is there also something strange about the Cyan Cloud Demon Slayer Bureau's wanted orders?"
At the moment, Su Mu recalled all the wanted orders he had accepted, finding that these villains indeed committed numerous crimes, and people rejoice at the news of their deaths.
Among them was even the Li Family, who wanted to set up a shrine for Su Mu afterwards, and Su Mu also recalled that when he returned the Assassin's Order of Li Yan's younger brother after killing Black Insect Elder, the sadness on Li Zhihe's face was genuine.
"This matter will be left to Li Zhihe to decide... Li Feiyu can disappear, but tonight Guo Lie must die."
Su Mu decided to leave this matter to Li Zhihe for choice. After tonight's event spreads, Li Zhihe would definitely know it's Li Feiyu, and if Li Zhihe turns hostile, Li Feiyu will disappear.
If Li Zhihe turns a blind eye, the Unparalleled Boxing and Stick Skills expert Li Feiyu will still be the Cyan Cloud Silver Order Blade Catcher, and anyway, Su Mu will not break his word as he still owes Li Zhihe a favor.
In the secret message were Zhou Yuanba's portrait and figure, Su Mu recalled briefly, having seen Zhou Yuanba's portrait on the Red List of the Canghe Demon Slayer Bureau.
After comparing the two and confirming there was no difference, Su Mu hesitated no more and began transforming his appearance and physique according to the wanted order.
"Crack, crack!"
Within a few breaths, Su Mu's figure became corpulent, and his face turned ferocious. The wanted fugitive 'Zhou Yuanba' from the government quietly appeared in the room.
Subsequently, Su Mu meticulously adjusted the facial details and mimicked Zhou Yuanba's demeanor as per the wanted order, channeling the Small Faceless Transformation Technique within him.
This transformation technique had long been cultivated to Great Success by Su Mu, yet the incomplete cultivation technique prevented Perfection. Still, it could somewhat alter his aura. When the fierce aura in the copper mirror matched the wanted order precisely,
