My Most Beautiful Fiancée

’Another profound control technique!’ The name instantly surfaced in Mu Lin’s mind: ”Spirit Puppet Curse!”

This was a method that used Spiritual Power to control a target’s mind. The control was silent and traceless, afflicting its victims before they even realized what was happening.

From then on, they would become the enemy’s puppet, capable only of rigidly carrying out commands.

After staring at the old butler for a moment, Mu Lin tapped a needle against his forehead. In the blink of an eye, the old butler fell into a deep sleep.

The effects of the Spirit Puppet Curse were dispelled.

The old butler could now rest properly and recover his lost strength and energy.

The guards saw this but remained impassive, showing no reaction whatsoever.

Logically, the Spirit Puppet Technique should have started with the most crucial person, the Patriarch, before gradually spreading to less important servants, bodyguards, and butlers.

Since even the guards, who weren’t even considered proper bodyguards, were under control, it meant the entire Xu Family was in trouble.

The entire estate had been taken over.

Mu Lin spread out his divine sense to observe the situation within the Xu Family estate.

The Xu Family estate was quiet at the moment. Servants paced back and forth mechanically in the garden, and the women of the Xu Family sat rigidly at their vanities, endlessly applying makeup like automatons.

Many others were frozen, endlessly repeating the last action they were taking before being controlled, their movements utterly mechanical.

But to an outsider, as long as there was some movement inside, they would hardly pay any mind.

No one would bother with the affairs of such a large family; after all, the Xu Family had never cared about the lives of others.

Right now, the Xu Family’s situation was dire. They might have been completely finished.

With the main family under control, the branch families could only obey orders and slowly hand over their companies.

Except for Xu Tianming’s parents, who had discovered the problem and reacted in advance, it was feared that no one else had been spared.

Mu Lin thought for a moment, then looked down and handed two small cotton balls to Gu Qiang. ”Miss Gu, plug your ears.”

Gu Qiang didn’t understand his intention. ”Mu Lin, why do you want me to plug my ears?”

Mu Lin smiled. ”It’s going to be very loud. I have to make sure your ears are protected, don’t I?”

With that, his feet tapped lightly on the ground, and he used Qinggong to leap to the top of a four-story Western-style building!

He looked at Gu Qiang, who immediately understood his meaning. She quickly plugged her ears with the cotton balls and turned her back to him.

Standing like that would lessen the impact.

Mu Lin immediately unleashed his power with all his might. A tyrannical roar thundered through the Xu Family estate, instantly blanketing the entire compound.

ROAR!

The feral roar spread throughout the entire Xu Family estate.

The disturbance was immense, its intensity peaking in an instant.

The people of the Xu Family were jolted awake in an instant.

This ultimate yang technique of the Buddhist Sect was quite intense. Even with cotton balls in her ears, her back to Mu Lin, and her hands covering her ears, Gu Qiang was still sent stumbling, looking utterly pitiful.

But the effect was outstanding. The gloomy, stagnant miasma that had accumulated in the Xu Family estate was swept away, and even the air became fresh and clear.

Mu Lin leaped down from the building and saw the strange look on Gu Qiang’s face. The reproach in her eyes made him feel a little guilty.

”Qiang’Er, how are you? Are you okay?” Mu Lin asked with concern.

Gu Qiang felt completely uncomfortable, but she still had to answer honestly, ”It was so loud. I feel like you were about to shatter my internal organs.”

Mu Lin laughed awkwardly. ”Well, it was to ensure the safety of the Xu Family, wasn’t it? Why else would I do something so complicated?”

”The Xu Family is in a precarious situation, so I had to use strong medicine and take drastic measures!” Mu Lin said earnestly.

”So, is the Xu Family okay now?”

Mu Lin shook his head. ”I don’t know. Let’s go take a look!”

Mu Lin supported Gu Qiang by the elbow with one hand, lending her strength without making things too awkward.

This was a solution Mu Lin had come up with after a moment’s thought.

Gu Qiang, however, felt a bit helpless. ’He really doesn’t have to be so polite.’

Mu Lin remembered Jiang Long mentioning that the Xu Family had some connection with the former leader of the Military Suppression Bureau’s Nanjiang Group. He freed one hand to call Jiang Long and inform him of what had happened to the Xu Family.

Jiang Long shot up from his seat when he heard the news. This was not a good thing at all!

The Xu Family was one of the six major families, and they had been silently taken over. Two of their branch family members had even been run down and put in intensive care. This was completely unacceptable, no matter how you looked at it.

If he just stood by and let this happen, his career would be over.

Whether it was Mu Lin or his other colleagues at the Military Suppression Bureau, they would all look down on him.

’If the old Group Leader hears about this, he’ll probably curse me to death! That would be awful.’

”Mu Xiaoyou, wait for me. I’m on my way!”

Jiang Long rushed over.

And while Mu Lin was checking on the members of the Xu Family one by one, in another estate, Ning Zuoren, who had hurried back to the Ning Family, found his father.

His father was a man of immense influence. Outsiders called him Elder Ning, and many, showing respect, would address him as Master Ning.

He was the one who had tried to snatch the raw stone from Mu Lin before.

He had raised a huge fuss for nothing, and in the end, Mu Lin had gotten Huang Fengnian killed.

Ning Zuoren was furious. His eyes were wide with rage as he gnashed his teeth. ”Dad, Mu Lin is too arrogant! He really thinks he’s somebody! How dare he challenge our Ning Family!”

Elder Ning slowly looked up. ”Isn’t that normal? The fact that he could kill Vajra Zhenren has long since proven that he’s not someone to be trifled with. If you expected him to bow and scrape before you, then ultimately, that’s your problem!”

The fury in Ning Zuoren’s heart erupted, and he vented his resentment. It was a good thing Mu Lin wasn’t present, or he would have certainly sought to settle the score with him.

”Dad, I know, I know all of that! But do you know what he did? Your grandson’s leg was pierced by Mu Lin! He used a single chopstick and just stabbed it right into his thigh! Xingyuan’s shin bone was directly shattered by that chopstick, crushed to pieces! We don’t even know if he’ll ever be able to stand again!!”

”And he still has the gall to demand we undo what we’ve done to the Xu Family! Where does he get the nerve? So what if he killed Vajra Zhenren? What’s so great about that?”

Ning Zuoren roared in fury, his enraged hand snatching a cheap teapot and smashing it on the ground. The teapot instantly shattered into smithereens.

Elder Ning’s expression didn’t change in the slightest. He glanced impassively at Ning Zuoren. ”Are you done being noisy? What have I told you? Stay calm and cultivate your composure. Don’t get angry over every little thing. It’s pointless.”

”If your older brother had encountered this, do you think he would get angry? Curb your arrogance and impatience, don’t you understand? We’ve already drained the Xu Family’s assets. So we’ll undo the technique. What’s the big deal?”

Just then, an incredibly mysterious old man walked in. One look at him and you would easily associate him with Witchcraft.

When Elder Ning saw him, ripples appeared on his calm expression. ”Divine Master Cai, what brings you here?”

Divine Master Cai’s voice was low, his gaze filled with indifference. ”Elder Ning, my Spirit Puppet Technique has failed. Someone has broken it with a very forceful method!”

Elder Ning’s eyes narrowed. In an instant, he understood. ”To think such a thing could happen.”

”I must ask Elder Ning to investigate. This trend cannot be allowed to continue, or how can I continue to work for you?”

Elder Ning waved his hand. ”There’s no need to investigate. It’s very clear. Mu Lin did it.”

Hearing that name, Divine Master Cai’s face became even more savage. ”It’s him! My Junior Brother Xu died at his hands, and now he dares to do this to me!”

This Junior Brother Xu was the Curse Master by Elder Deng’s side who had tried to kill Mu Lin remotely but was instead killed by Mu Lin’s Yin Spirit.

This was a case of old grievances piling on top of new hatred. There was no longer any possibility of reconciliation.

Elder Ning said calmly, ”That’s right. It was him.”

Divine Master Cai sneered, trying his best to hide his rage, but it was utterly irrepressible. His whole body was trembling.

”I was originally planning to go to Anhua to find him. How convenient that he’s come knocking on my door himself! In that case, I won’t be polite. I will definitely take his head!”

”Elder Ning, is that permissible? His death won’t affect your grand plan, will it?”

Elder Ning said after a moment of silence, ”Divine Master Cai, I have no objections. But I must also remind you, this kid’s strength is unfathomable. Many who have targeted him in the past have been killed in return. It’s hard to say if his true strength is only what he has shown so far...”
