I'm also desperate.

Chapter 674 Coo Coo Coo

Chapter 354 Little Hands

Yang Hongxia, after all, is the eldest miss of the Dayang Merchant Guild. Handling some mining industry matters shouldn't be a problem.

In addition to this part of the industry, the remaining resources are the black market bloodstones in the county town.

For Fang Yue at this stage, using bloodstones for cultivation is sufficient. He uses them almost every time he cultivates, without stopping, so the consumption is actually not small.

If converted to other sects, that would be the treatment of a core disciple.

In terms of resources, Fang Yue has always been maximizing them, never thinking about saving, because he understands that converting resources into tangible strength is the greatest utilization of resources.

After sorting and categorizing things, Fang Yue began to cultivate again.

...

Old Eagle Merchant Guild.

"Guest Qing Tai, do you have any news about the little thief who broke into our mansion a few days ago?"

The leader of the Old Eagle Merchant Guild asked respectfully.

Tai Yuema, sitting in his seat, didn't even lift his eyelids and said faintly, "Still searching, no news yet."

"It's during the Martial Arts Tournament, and the city is so turbulent. I heard that a small merchant guild next door suddenly vanished, leaving only blood everywhere. Such methods are truly frightening. Why don't I temporarily move the merchant guild to the Tian Shang Alliance's residence, so we can look after each other."

Tai Yuema glanced at him and uttered, "Inappropriate."

"But..."

"I said, inappropriate."

"...Yes."

The leader of the Old Eagle Merchant Guild lowered his head and silently retreated, his expression completely concealed.

Tai Yuema narrowed his eyes, a flash of murderous intent in his eyes.

It seems that the leader of this Old Eagle Merchant Guild will have to be replaced again.

But now is the Martial Arts Tournament period, and replacing someone is too troublesome. Let's wait until things are over.

As for why he didn't move into the Tian Shang Alliance headquarters, one reason is to maintain the reputation of being a top ten merchant guild.

If they retreat to the headquarters whenever something happens, their strength will naturally be questioned, and their ranking and other aspects will be affected.

Being stuck in the seventh position in the Tian Shang Alliance, neither up nor down, is just convenient for acting. Tai Yuema is unwilling to cause any trouble.

Like the Old Eagle Merchant Guild, other merchant guilds are also honestly staying in their own residences at this time, with no intention of moving to the Tian Shang Alliance headquarters. They even accept other small merchant guilds that come to join them, seizing this opportunity to expand their strength.

The second reason is that with so many people watching in the Tian Shang Alliance headquarters, it would be inconvenient for him to act.

As the Rabbit Seat of the Phoenix Organization, some things still need to be done discreetly.

Getting up and leaving the room, Tai Yuema came to the outside of the courtyard, looked up at the round moon in the high sky, a corner of which was stained blood red, and pondered.

"Tian Shi..." (Heavenly Eclipse)

"Forget it, if the sky falls, the organization will hold it up. Such important matters are not something I need to worry about."

"It's the task assigned by Lord Niu Zuo (Ox Seat)..."

Tai Yuema didn't expect that after so many years, he would have to participate in a Martial Arts Tournament again.

If it weren't for Lord Niu Zuo's request, he would definitely not be willing to fight those juniors.

In addition, he already has some clues about the person who came to investigate last night.

With a light jump, he crossed the wall, Tai Yuema moved between the eaves, heading towards a certain inn.

And after he left...

Little hands emerged from the walls of the Old Eagle Merchant Guild, swaying like reeds in the wind.

Under the cover of night, each pale hand sprouted a small eye, split into a mouth, and bared sharp teeth, emitting a "gu gu gu" sound, like laughter, yet also like some sort of lullaby.

...

Madam Yun is the third wife of the Old Eagle Merchant Guild leader, married through proper channels.

She is also the one currently favored by the Old Eagle Merchant Guild leader.

It was her whispers that led the Old Eagle Merchant Guild leader to take some overly aggressive actions.

However, seeing her own man return in defeat once again, without even the thought of confronting Tai Yuema, she immediately became furious.

Married into the Old Eagle Merchant Guild, ranked seventh in the Tian Shang Alliance, yet even such a small matter as temporarily moving into the Tian Shang Alliance headquarters residence required looking at Tai Yuema's face! The entire merchant guild, from top to bottom, had to be mindful of Tai Yuema’s expression!

She couldn't swallow this insult no matter what.

Leaving the Old Eagle Merchant Guild leader still kneeling in the room, admitting his mistake, Madam Yun strode towards Tai Yuema's room.

However, after knocking on the door several times without a response, she kicked the door open in anger.

However...

The room was empty.

Not here?

Madam Yun was furious.

She still wanted to reason with Tai Yuema, to let Tai Yuema know who was really in charge of the Old Eagle Merchant Guild!

She stormed out of the room and returned to the courtyard path.

Under the moonlight, Madam Yun suddenly discovered in astonishment that in the small garden in front of her, amidst the clusters of flowers, there was actually... a pale little hand growing.

The little hand was crystal clear, as white and tender as a newborn child.

Attracted by it, Madam Yun took two steps closer unconsciously and reached out to touch the little hand.

The cool and comfortable touch made her feel extremely pleasant.

"What, what kind of flower is this? Tai Yuema certainly knows a lot..."

Amu.

The little hand in the flowerbed suddenly opened a bloody maw and bit Madam Yun's hand in one gulp.

Her pupils contracted, and as she screamed, the little hand yanked forcefully.

Madam Yun's right hand was bitten off halfway, dripping with blood, exposing the bone.

Amidst screams of "Ah, ah, ah," she fell to the ground, only to see above the wall, rows of pale hands swaying like cheerful weeds, baring rows of sharp teeth, eerie and terrifying.

"Help! Save..."

A massive amount of stacked hands suddenly surged from the ground, like building a high wall, and then fell towards her, engulfing her.

Blood gradually oozed from the collapsed 'high wall.'

Before long, only blood flowed on the ground, leaving no other traces... just like the small merchant guild that had been wiped out last night, the method was exactly the same!

"Gu gu gu!"

"Gu gu gu!"

"Gu gu gu!"

As if having obtained some new toy, the little hands on the wall laughed even more gleefully, the eerie laughter echoing throughout the Old Eagle Merchant Guild residence.

And at the spot where Madam Yun died, little hands emerged.

More little hands sprouted from the ground, from the pillars, from the flowers and plants.

A guard responsible for patrolling in the distance seemed to hear the sound and rushed over. Just as he approached, a little hand squeezed out from his eye socket, bursting with blood, and his left eye was directly blinded.

However, this was not the end. This little hand that had stretched out grabbed back, directly turning to his face, crushing flesh and bone, and continued to burrow deeper.

Amidst the horrified screams of this guard and his companions, more little hands rose from the ground like a high wall, surging towards them.

"You, don't come over here!"

"Anomalies! It's anomalies!"

"Why isn't the city's formation working?!"

Amidst the crowd's exclamations, the 'hand wall' had already swallowed them one by one.

More people rushed over from afar, only to have little hands burst out from their eyes and mouths, torturing and killing them.

The scene instantly became a mess, with only the laughter of "gu gu gu" rising and falling.

And in the position where Madam Yun died, little hands emerged.

More little hands sprouted from the ground, from the pillars, from the flowers and plants.
