Super God: Liang Bing: Please, stop going crazy!

Cheng Hao's face changed slightly, and he immediately realized that these attackers were most likely sent by the Zhou family. He was filled with anger and hatred, but at the same time he also felt a little scared. If Qin Mu hadn't acted in time, he would have been in great danger.

"It seems that they already know that I'm still alive." Cheng Hao gritted his teeth, his eyes flashing with coldness, "But this is just the beginning, I will never let them succeed so easily again."

Qin Mu nodded, his eyes revealing a hint of complexity: "The grudges in the martial arts world never end easily, you must be prepared to face greater challenges. Although I helped you solve the crisis this time, I will not always be by your side in the future. You need to learn to face these dangers alone."

Cheng Hao took a deep breath, his eyes showing determination: "Senior, I am ready. I know I still have a lot of shortcomings, but I will become stronger step by step. No matter what I encounter in the future, I will not back down."

Qin Mu nodded with satisfaction. He could feel the strong determination in Cheng Hao's heart. Although the crisis was resolved this time, Cheng Hao's future was still full of unknown challenges. However, it was in these crises and tribulations that Cheng Hao would gradually grow and reach his own peak in the swordsmanship.

As the night deepened, Cheng Hao and Qin Mu returned to the inn together, as if nothing had ever happened. The town was still quiet, with only a breeze blowing, taking away the remaining bloody smell of the night, leaving behind a silence.

The news that Qin Mu easily killed the Shadow Blade Squad and the three elders quickly spread back to the Zhou family. Zhou Chi was furious when he heard it, and he was shocked and terrified. He originally thought that the elite troops he sent out were enough to strangle Cheng Hao, but he didn't expect that the whole army was annihilated. What frightened him even more was that the enemy could easily kill the top masters in the family, which meant that the opponent's strength was far beyond his expectations.

"What is the origin of this Qin Mu?" Zhou Chi gritted his teeth secretly, with a cold light flashing in his eyes. Cheng Hao was originally just an insignificant boy. If it weren't for the family hatred, he wouldn't have taken it seriously at all, but now things have evolved into a complicated situation. With such a strong man behind him, he must not take it lightly.

Zhou Chi calmed down and quickly summoned several confidants and advisers in the family. He knew that rashly sending people to assassinate would only result in a loss of life, and he had to find out Qin Mu's background first before formulating the next countermeasures.

In the conference room, Zhou Chi's face was gloomy, and several counselors and important family members beside him were discussing in low voices. They were all experienced and wise men in the Zhou family, and they were good at analyzing the situation from clues.

"Young master, this man was able to easily kill the elder of our family. His strength is extraordinary. It seems that he must have a certain reputation in the world. Perhaps we can find out his origins by investigating the rumors in the world." An old man in a green robe stroked his beard and said, his eyes were shrewd.

"That's true, but this person is mysterious and unpredictable. We need to investigate from multiple channels at the same time to ensure the comprehensiveness of the investigation." Another middle-aged man echoed in a deep voice. He is the leader of the family in charge of intelligence gathering and is well aware of the forces and figures in the underworld.

Zhou Chi nodded and said grimly, "We must not make the mistake of underestimating the enemy again this time. No matter what, we must find out the details of this Qin Mu, what is his relationship with Cheng Hao, and their whereabouts."

Immediately, Zhou Chi issued a series of instructions, mobilizing the various intelligence networks and forces in the family to launch a comprehensive investigation of Qin Mu. This included sending informants to various towns to collect rumors about Qin Mu, hiring some wandering warriors scattered in the rivers and lakes to inquire, and even some spies who specialized in mixing in the market and making a living by inquiring for information.

The intelligence system within the family began to operate rapidly, with clear and precise goals. Within a few hours, news from various channels gathered on Zhou Chi's desk. However, most of this information was vague, full of speculation and uncertainty. Although Qin Mu's strength was awe-inspiring, there seemed to be no clear record of his specific origins in the world.

One of his subordinates hurried over and reported in a low voice: "Young Master, I have checked the records of all the major forces and the rumors in the martial arts world. There is almost no clear information about this powerful man named 'Qin Mu' in the martial arts world. He seems to have suddenly appeared, with no sect background and no fixed whereabouts. It seems that he is just a lone ranger."

"No sect background?" Zhou Chi frowned, this situation made him even more uneasy. A lone ranger without any background, yet possessing such powerful strength, showed that this person had an extraordinary experience and profound experience in the martial arts world. Such a person was either a hidden master or an abandoned disciple who had broken away from a powerful force.

Zhou Chi snorted coldly and said unwillingly: "Keep investigating! Since he appeared next to Cheng Hao, he must have his motives. Dig deeper, not only to investigate Qin Mu, but also to follow the clues to find out the relationship between Cheng Hao and him!"

The family's spies were sent to more secret places, and even tried to track the whereabouts of Qin Mu and Cheng Hao. They investigated the places where the two had stayed one by one, trying to find valuable clues from the traces. However, Qin Mu had always been low-key and left almost no traces to be traced. Cheng Hao was a young man who had just emerged and had little background in the underworld, which made the investigation more difficult.

After several days of searching, a spy finally brought back a clue of some value. He inquired in a remote tavern and found out that someone had seen Qin Mu on an ancient road in the mountains. At that time, he was confronting several strong men and easily defeated them with his absolute strength. According to the description of the witness, Qin Mu used the long sword emitting blue light, which was exactly the same as what the Shadow Blade team witnessed at the end.

"It seems that Qin Mu is indeed a ranger with extraordinary strength, and his whereabouts are extremely secretive. Even the old intelligence network in the world can't track his origins." After listening to the spy's report, Zhou Chi's face became more gloomy.

He was a little apprehensive in his heart. If such a person with an unknown background but strong strength had a close relationship with Cheng Hao, he would inevitably become a huge threat to the family in the future. However, he was unwilling to give up, and this situation put him in a dilemma.

At this moment, a subordinate came in hurriedly, handed over a secret letter, and whispered: "Young Master, there is a new clue about Cheng Hao, which may be helpful in investigating Qin Mu."

Zhou Chi quickly opened the envelope and glanced at it, with a sneer in his eyes. The letter mentioned that Cheng Hao seemed to have traveled with Qin Mu recently, passing through many small towns, and encountered attacks from many unknown forces on the way, but they were all easily resolved by Qin Mu. This shows that Cheng Hao did get Qin Mu's protection, and the relationship between them is likely not a simple master-disciple relationship.

"It seems that Qin Mu has a great interest in Cheng Hao. Where does this interest come from?" Zhou Chi sneered, with a new plan in mind.

He immediately ordered his men to continue the investigation and prepare a more complicated conspiracy. He decided not to confront Qin Mu and Cheng Hao head-on, but to try to weaken their trust by creating internal conflicts and alienation. As long as he could find the weakness between the two, he might be able to turn defeat into victory.

The family think tank immediately started a discussion, and they offered suggestions and tried to design a trap that would cause a rift between Cheng Hao and Qin Mu. They decided to use the hatred in Cheng Hao's heart and Qin Mu's calm guidance of him to create some illusions, so as to lure Cheng Hao into thinking that Qin Mu had other intentions, thus causing the relationship between the two to break down.

At the same time, another group of spies were sent to more towns to continue collecting the movements of Qin Mu and Cheng Hao. They not only had to keep track of the whereabouts of the two, but also secretly collect Qin Mu's habits, style, and any weaknesses he might have hidden.

The intelligence network of the entire family was like an invisible giant net, quietly spreading out, targeting Qin Mu and Cheng Hao. Zhou Chi understood that he could not rush for success in this duel, but had to take steady steps, gradually weakening the opponent's defense until the final blow.

As the night deepened, Zhou Chi stood on the high platform, looking down at the family guards patrolling the manor, and plotting his next move. He knew that Qin Mu was no ordinary enemy, but the stronger the opponent, the greater the sense of accomplishment after defeating him. He was no longer satisfied with the power within the family, and he wanted to take this opportunity to make a name for himself in the martial arts world and become a true controller.

On the other side of the town, Cheng Hao and Qin Mu were still practicing with great concentration, unaware that a carefully planned conspiracy was quietly approaching. The undercurrent of the rivers and lakes was surging, and was about to cause new waves.

Under Zhou Chi's orders, the spies went to various towns more frequently to inquire about the movements of Qin Mu and Cheng Hao. They not only paid attention to the whereabouts of the two, but also began to look for usable clues from Cheng Hao's background and past. Several capable spies disguised themselves as ordinary vendors, wandering monks, and even beggars, secretly monitoring their every move.

At the same time, the family's advisers have designed a whole set of alienation plans. They decided to create false news to make Cheng Hao mistakenly believe that Qin Mu has hidden purposes behind him and intends to use him. Next, these false news will be spread through various covert channels and gradually penetrate into Cheng Hao's ears.

Under the careful arrangement of the spies, some false news gradually reached Cheng Hao's ears. Someone quietly mentioned that Qin Mu seemed to have an ulterior motive behind the scenes, and some even hinted that he was using Cheng Hao to achieve some of his own secret plans by taking advantage of his hatred. Although Cheng Hao did not immediately believe these rumors, he could not help but feel a little confused.

At the same time, the family's spies continue to plant more eyes in the surrounding towns, waiting for the best time to sow discord between Cheng Hao and Qin Mu. They observe that Cheng Hao's mood begins to fluctuate, and intend to use this to further deepen the rift between the two. The undercurrents of the world are surging, and there is a storm brewing.
