Wu Gen woke up from a coma, and when he opened his eyes, it was Yang Zhengshou standing in front of him. There were not many injuries on his body, but he had a severe headache, and the slightest movement felt like needles.
"Where is this place?" Wu Gen's lips were chapped and he was unable to speak, "Where is Ji Junlin?"
Yang Zheng took a water bag and poured some water into Wu Gen's mouth first. "This is Xingluo Plain. The people of the Divine Sect have been scared away by you." After a pause, Yang Zheng put down the water bag in his hand and considered it. He said softly, "Wu Gen, can you hold that thing down?"
Wu Gen naturally knew that he was talking about the death energy. He turned his head slightly and looked at the gray sky, "No problem, I promised Qian Hua that I would not fall into the devil's path. This time, I just released more death energy." It’s just that my body can’t support it anymore.”
"But if you use death energy again and again, sooner or later you will rely on its power, and in the end you will be unable to extricate yourself. In the end, Wu Gen will still be Wu Gen." Yang Zheng said coldly.
Wu Gen's throat squirmed, but no sound came out.
There were footsteps in the distance, Yang Zheng sighed and helped Wu Gen up. Yisan came over accompanied by an old man, while Muji was sitting not far away, with Ado's body beside him.
The body of this strange old man was in tatters, with many signs of burns, and cotton wool was exposed in some places.
"You are Wu Gen." The old man walked up to Wu Gen, lifted up his clothes and sat down.
"You are..." Wu Gen couldn't feel a trace of cultivation from the old man, but he was a mortal who could reach this place. The more master you are, the more you hide your secrets.
"I am Liu Kuo, and I belong to the Yi generation in the sect, so I have the title of Yi Yi." The old man spoke directly, and there was a sense of style in the way he raised his hands and feet. From the looks of it, he must have been a dashing young man when he was young. .
"Then I should call you senior." Wu Gen's face turned sarcastic, he looked around and sneered, "The disciples think highly of me, and there are three disciples here at this time."
"Wu Gen, there is no need to be so resistant. The sect has intentions for you, but it has no intention of harming you." Faced with Wu Gen's rudeness, Liu Kuo didn't care, "I just had a fight with the elders of the cult. I didn’t see you fighting. I heard from Yisan that there is a terrible evil thing hidden in your body. I don’t know where it came from.”
Wu Gen couldn't help but laugh, "Senior Liu, if I say that I don't know very well, you can still believe me."
Liu Kuo pondered for a moment, but he did not feel dissatisfied, "Everyone has their own privacy, forget it, I was the one who was rude. Originally, the sect wanted you to go to Tianyuan Continent, but after hearing what happened just now, I agree with Yang My honest opinion is to go to Kuntian Continent. If the evil thing in the body loses control, it will harm the people in Tianyuan Continent."
Seeing that Wu Gen wanted to speak, Liu Kuo waved his hand, "There is nothing you can do about it. You have met a foreigner, and now that Zhao has taken advantage of it, Beizhou and other places will no longer be able to stay. It is better to go to the Shepherd The territory. The shepherds have always been at odds with the cult. If you don’t want to be hunted down by the cult to take away the Heart of Light, it’s a safe place to go.”
Wu Gen said lazily: "Okay, do we still have room for bargaining now? However, it is a long way to Kuntianzhou, and the divine sect may pursue us all the way. What should we do?"
"Kuntianzhou is isolated overseas. There is a secret passage in the door that can transport you across the rising sea. After passing the rising sea, even the divine sect dare not send people to arrest you." Seeing Wu Gen let go, Liu Kuo Smiling slightly, showing worry-free.
"What is the mission given to me by Mo Dao Men?" Wu Gen pushed Yang Zheng's hand away and sat up straighter.
"Establish a foothold among the shepherds, and when the time is right, stir up the shepherds to continue to use troops against the divine religion to contain their troops, so as to prevent Beizhou and other places from falling into their trap." Liu Kuo replied easily, as if he was talking about a trivial matter.
Wu Gen couldn't help but sneer, "You really believe me. It's such an important responsibility. Can you collect some interest first and ask me to do a few things for me so that I can leave with peace of mind."
"Oh, but please tell me." It can be seen that Liu Kuo has a good temper and is not at all impatient because of Wu Gen's rudeness.
"Kill one person and see another person." Wu Gen said coldly.
"Ji Junlin can't be killed. He has been protected by the elders of the sect. However, the sect can help you fulfill the conditions you and Yang Zheng mentioned earlier."
Wu Gen looked a little disappointed and looked at A Duo on the ground. "Okay, let's stick to the original conditions. Ji Junlin will be left to me to kill. However, if you want to kill Zhao Ling, please hurry up. I'm afraid they know that the people of the divine sect have been defeated." If it is found, it will scatter in all directions, and it will be difficult to find it."
"Yes." Liu Kuo was actually quite exhausted. After a battle with the elders of the divine sect, the strength of the two was about the same. This kind of evenly matched battle actually consumes the most energy. But after hearing Wu Gen's request, he agreed without hesitation.
Yi San glanced at Liu Kuo with a strange expression, his eyes a little complicated.
Wu Gen managed to get up, staggered to Mu Ji, plopped down on the ground, and stared blankly at A Duo on the ground.
After a long time, Mu Ji sighed, "Wu Gen, there is no need to feel guilty. When A Duo left, you should be happy. But for you, the tribulations are endless. You must relax, let go of your attachments, and see the world with a pure heart." Far away demon.
Wu Gen was noncommittal, as if he didn't hear Mu Ji's words, "Master, please bury A Duo well, and don't destroy the body. Wu Gen has a sense of inner peace."
Mu Ji looked at Wu Gen's haggard expression and wanted to speak, but Wu Gen had already stood up with a smile on his face, "Master, if you have been to Dayizhou, you will know that whether it is a god or a demon, at some level... There is not much difference in words.
The theories of gods and demons are all human obsessions, but from different angles. Please rest assured, Master. "Wu Gen pointed to his heart as he spoke, "It won't change here. I leave the matter of guarding the disciples to the master. Don't let the Zhengling Alliance completely gain power, otherwise many people will die. This is a great merit. . "
Mu Ji also stood up and clasped his hands together, "The poor monk should do his best to appease his innocent heart."
Wu Gen shook his head mockingly, "Benevolence, Wu Gen believed that he could not be kind to others, so he had to remove the 'two' character of benevolence. It is not easy to retain people's hearts." After saying this, he also gave a gift to Mu Ji. , turned around and returned to Liu Kuo.
"Let's go." Wu Gen said calmly, his expression calm again.
Liu Kuo nodded, "Your body has not recovered yet. I will take you with me later, so you can walk faster."
The few people agreed that Liu Kuo would take Wu Gen, and Yi San would protect Yang Zheng, and they would go together to find the mission's convoy. At this time, the defense of the convoy should be at its weakest. Both the heavy cavalry of the Divine Cult and the cavalry of the Great Xia Kingdom have been sent out. As long as the elders of the Divine Cult and Ji Junlin do not return, the remaining servants and guards of the convoy cannot stop it at all. Four people.
The four of them hurriedly skimmed the wasteland. With Liu Kuo's cultivation level, although he could not completely fly in the air, they could still fly in the air. When you become more diligent in your cultivation, you can truly ride on the clouds, control the breeze, travel around the world, and soar over famous mountains. It's just that because I have to take care of Yisan's speed, it's a little slower.
Liu Kuo held Wu Gen's back and couldn't help but be a little surprised. This man had very strong bones, which was an excellent foundation for practicing martial arts. I believe that given time, he will be able to become a great master in martial arts.
The four of them searched the wasteland carefully along the possible direction of the convoy. Within a day, they had already seen traces of the convoy. In a hurry to catch up with the convoy, Yi San jumped to the front of the convoy, shouted, and blocked the way.
Looking carefully at the convoy, the elder of the divine religion and Ji Junlin were not here, and even the cavalry of Daxia Kingdom had not returned. This time they found a good time to seek revenge.
Liu Kuo followed Wu Gen's instructions and landed near a carriage.
Li Zhong was following the carriage when he suddenly saw Wu Gen and another person descending from the sky. Just as he was about to say hello, he suddenly noticed something and his tall body stepped back to protect the carriage behind him.
Wu Gen took two steps forward, and suddenly an earth wall appeared in the soil in front of him. Wu Gen knew that this was Li Zhong's special skill. He did not want to fight with this honest and loyal man, so he had to turn to Liu Kuo and said, "Senior, please take action and don't hurt this person."
Liu Kuo nodded. After all, Wu Gen did not turn into a demon who only knew how to kill. He still had benevolence in his heart. With a flick of his finger, a red light flashed and disappeared directly into Li Zhong's eyebrows. The man fell to the ground with a plop, struggled a few times and still passed out.
Several guards wanted to come to the rescue, but after seeing Li Zhong's fate and knowing how powerful the old man was, and who could only die in the past, they all stopped.
Murong Zhao stuck his head out and looked over. When he saw Liu Kuo's methods, he was so frightened that he quickly retreated into the car. He wanted to run but he didn't dare to run. Even if he ran, it would be difficult to outrun this master who could skim through the air.
For a moment, other carriages moved away from Zhao Ling's carriage, for fear of being implicated.
The earthen wall in front of Wu Gen collapsed suddenly. He stepped on the soft sand and walked towards the carriage step by step with very heavy steps.
As for Xiang Qi, Wu Gen was suspicious. To be honest, it would be easy to kill Zhao Ling, but if this former brother was protecting her, it would be difficult for him to do so.
Zhao Ling must have ordered Xiang Qi to steal the wine pot. This person caused him to leave his hometown and be separated from Qian Hua, and also cut off his own escape route, making him unable to return to the Zhao Kingdom. This hatred and grudge would not be tolerated unless he was killed.
In addition, another consideration in killing Zhao Ling is to regain freedom. After staying with this woman for a long time and doing too many dirty things, Wu Gen was afraid that Xiangqi would sink deeper and deeper into her and would never be able to leave. With Zhao Ling's mind, it would be easy to figure out Xiang Qi.
There was silence in the carriage, and there was no movement inside, as if no one was inside. The wind blew through the curtains of the car, and a faint smell of blood floated out of the car.
Wu Gen stood in front of the car, frowning slightly, with a bad premonition in his heart, and said loudly: "Zhao Ling, you have hurt me again and again, let's put an end to it today."
There was no sound inside the car, and it really seemed like no one was in it. Only the horse pulling the cart felt Wu Gen's murderous intent. It kept snoring and digging into the soil with its hooves, thinking of escaping from here.
Wu Gen put his hand on the shaft of the carriage, and the horse whined, as if it was carrying a heavy burden, and knelt down on all four legs. The driver jumped out of the car, fell to his knees with a plop, and kowtowed to Wu Gen.
Finally unable to bear it any longer, Wu Gen pulled out the broken knife, and with a flash of the blade, one side of the carriage was cut off, sawdust flew everywhere, and the situation inside the carriage was revealed.
Zhao Ling was dressed in plain clothes and sat quietly in the car, looking at Xiang Qi lovingly in his arms. His body was already stained with a lot of blood spots.
His head turned upward slightly, his eyes slightly opened, looking at Wu Gen blankly. There was a pool of blood on his chest, with a dagger stuck on it.
The blood that was still warm gushed out from his chest, flowed down his raised neck and ribs, and slowly flowed to the floor of the carriage. Zhao Ling was holding a white silk silk and pressing Xiang Qi's wound.
Wu Gen was shocked, as if he had been struck by a bolt from the blue, and as if someone had poured cold water on him from head to toe. He stepped forward, pushed Zhao Ling away with his palm, held up his raised head, and asked eagerly: " Who did it, was it Zhao Ling?"
"Yes... I'm sorry, it's... I committed suicide." Xiang Qi turned his head with difficulty, pointed his finger at Zhao Ling, and murmured, "Let it go, let it go... ." Before he finished speaking, the man's hand fell heavily, and he was dead, but his eyes were still staring at Wu Gen.
Wu Gen put Xiang Qi gently on the ground with trembling hands. As if there were flames surging in his eyes, he grabbed Zhao Ling's neck.
"Why?" A hoarse shout came from the car.
