Mu Jinyu saw Ren Xiaoyao disappear right before his eyes.
It happened so quickly that he couldn't even react.
"This guy, after all, is a Divine Realm Warrior, a Taoist Ancestor of the Way of Nature, and he just collapses like this?"
Mu Jinyu muttered to himself, but there was nothing he could do. He stopped inspecting the dormitory building and leapt down from the windowsill.
Once he hit the ground, he picked up the Gatling gun and sprayed bullets at the fidgeting Red Dressed Female Demon, firing at full force.
The bullets, made of gold, embedded in the corpse, instantly pinning her down so she couldn't move.
With no Golden Coffin to collect the body of the Red Dressed Female Demon, Mu Jinyu had to use this method to suppress her first. If he managed to resolve the situation at the Ghost School, he would come back to retrieve the Golden Coffin to collect her body.
If he couldn't handle the Ghost School in the end, then he couldn't do anything about her; whenever she regained her freedom was out of his control.
Picking up the Gatling, Mu Jinyu stopped worrying about the Red Dressed Female Demon and hurried towards the direction where Ren Xiaoyao had disappeared.
He ran for half a minute.
Suddenly, Mu Jinyu heard a scream filled with terror and despair upfront.
The scream was abruptly cut short.
"It's Ren Xiaoyao's!"
Although Mu Jinyu didn't have much interaction with Ren Xiaoyao, he still recognized his voice.
Mu Jinyu paused slightly, knowing that Ren Xiaoyao was probably in peril, with more bad luck than good.
However, he might just be in danger, not yet harmed. Should he check it out?
Perhaps he could still save him!
Thinking this, Mu Jinyu gritted his teeth and continued running forward.
Then, he saw on the road leading to the cafeteria that it was filled with countless demons, each with ashen black skin as if they had been bruised to death during their lifetimes, their eyes glassy, holding limbs and gnawing silently on them.
Seeing this scene, Mu Jinyu sighed internally, knowing that Ren Xiaoyao was done for.
If he had been devoured by demons, how could he possibly save him?
"Crack! Clang!"
At that moment, some of the demons who had finished gnawing on the limbs in their hands seemed to no longer be indifferent to the living beings around them.
They turned their heads, their eyes filled with resentment and despair, staring fixedly at Mu Jinyu.
"Ha!"
A hissing roar erupted, they raised their arms, their nails shimmered with a cold metallic light, as long as ordinary daggers, and lunged straight at Mu Jinyu!
Even though Mu Jinyu was ready to leave this place and avoid clashing with them, seeing these lowest-level demons dare to attack him, he couldn't help but snort coldly, then chuckle.
"Hehehe..."
The laughter was cold and eerie, piercingly harsh as if a ghost was laughing while someone was scraping a chalkboard!
"Bang! Bang! Bang!"
The endless parade of roadside demons, whether they were about to attack Mu Jinyu or were continuing to silently gnaw on the flesh in their hands, all exploded into ghostly bodies under the reverberating laughter, dissipating into wisps of ashen black smoke!
"Hmm? These can't take a single hit? How did Ren Xiaoyao die at their hands?"
Mu Jinyu saw the demonic fog disperse and furrowed his brows!
He began to question whether Ren Xiaoyao had actually died at the hands of these demons!
"No, other demons when killed or suppressed by me would at least leave behind a few hairs, a piece of ghost rope. With so many demons, even if most are ghost slaves, shouldn't there be at least one real demon among them? These are all ghost slaves!"
Mu Jinyu made a judgment!
"Clang! Clang!"
Just then, Mu Jinyu heard noises coming from inside the cafeteria, sounding like a chef tossing and frying food.
But at this time, how could there possibly be a chef in the school cafeteria?
Mu Jinyu realized that there must also be a demon inside, or even more...
Mu Jinyu hesitated, wondering whether to risk going in to check.
Suddenly!
Urgent gunfire erupted not far away!
It was the sound of a Gatling.
It must have been Buke Buzha or Wu Shisan.
Upon this thought, Mu Jinyu immediately turned around without hesitation and ran toward the source of the gunfire.
Ren Xiaoyao was most likely dead, and even if he wasn't, the risk inside the cafeteria was too great. Rather than risking a rescue, it was better to go support his own people!
Soon, Mu Jinyu reached the location of the gunfire, a lawn.
But all that was left were two Gatling guns, a small piece of coarse monk's robe, and a pool of blood stains—nothing else.
"Ah..."
Mu Jinyu sighed deeply, knowing that Master Buke Buzha had likely also died here.
Mu Jinyu felt terrible!
Since coming to this Ghost School, they had only captured three or four demons, yet the known casualties already included two people!
He had no idea if the remaining Sheng Rulai, Wu Shisan, Wang Hu, and Lucifer had encountered any trouble!
"Ahem!"
"Ohh..."
As Mu Jinyu frowned in deep thought, a series of menacing groans and roars suddenly erupted from all directions.
Mu Jinyu sharply raised his head and saw over fifty demons rushing toward him!
"Rocking back and forth, rocking back and forth, rocking to grandma's bridge..."
The demoness known as Nursery Rhyme, hopping and skipping ahead, was humming a nursery rhyme and tilting her head as she looked at Mu Jinyu.
Her pair of crimson eyes lacked the innocence of a little girl, filled only with resentment and murderous intent!
"Bang! Bang! Bang!"
A demon, over three meters tall and probably weighing over 500 kilograms, ran toward Mu Jinyu like a mountain, causing the ground to tremble!
An old man, his face blue and marked with numerous senile and cadaverous spots, wearing a tattered suit, walked slowly over, making knocking gestures as he moved.
It was the Knocking Ghost!
"Ding-a-ling!"
Suddenly, Mu Jinyu's phone ringtone also erupted, sharper and more piercing than his usual ringtone, each ring more urgent than the last, as if hurrying him toward death!
Four words suddenly flashed across Mu Jinyu's mind:
"Urgent Calls from Relatives and Friends!"
Belonging to a first-level demon, but its solo killing ability far exceeded that of Nursery Rhyme or the Knocking Ghost!
Mu Jinyu felt his scalp tingle at the sight of so many demons encircling him; did he have any chance of survival?
No wonder Buke Buzha couldn't escape!
"Bang! Bang! Bang!"
As Mu Jinyu considered where to run, the several Gold Inlaid Jade magical instruments he was wearing, unable to withstand the killing force of the Night Parade of One Hundred Demons, shattered all at once!
Some magical instruments were destroyed by the song of Nursery Rhyme, others by the ringtone of Urgent Calls from Relatives and Friends, and still others by the methods of more unknown and terrifying demons!
"Buzz!"
At the critical moment, Mu Jinyu made a swift decision, pulled a small golden box from his pocket, squeezed it open, and revealed the relic inside.
Instantly, the relic emanated a dazzling golden light, forming a protective shield of golden color around Mu Jinyu!
"Phew..."
Mu Jinyu let out a breath of relief, then raised the Gatling in his hands and sprayed bullets towards the huge demon, three meters tall, charging in the front!
"Boom! Boom! Boom!"
