In the thatched cottage in front of the lake, Wu Gen and Mu Bai were sitting opposite each other. Because of Mu Bai's words, Yu Hao turned her grief and anger into strength and rushed into the secret realm to eat the spirit-seeking grass, hoping to break through the realm in one fell swoop.
"Master Mu, Master Mu, thank you for your support along the way." Wu Gen stood up and bowed to Mu Bai on the ground.
"Huh?" Mu Bai raised his eyebrows and sat up straighter.
Wu Gen took out a mask from his arms and gently placed it in front of the two of them. This was the mask used by bird catchers when performing tasks.
"When did you discover it?" Mu Bai looked calm, but his eyes became cold and stern.
"When you kidnapped and killed Che Yunlu, when you faced the masters of the Sixth Realm, the moment you took action, no matter how good you were at hiding, you still showed a trace of your soul power." Wu Gen sighed and sat back slowly, "Me too As a soul master, the worldly methods include disguise or invisibility, but there is only one thing that is unique to everyone, and that is the soul. So, the moment the wood master took action, I smelled a familiar smell."
Mu Bai reached out and picked up the mask on the table, with an unspeakable smile on his face. With a shake of his hand, the mask turned into ashes and dispersed.
Looking at the dust escaping in the beam of light that came through the window in the house, Wu Gen sighed. The other party's move was regarded as acknowledging his identity. Unexpectedly, Mu Bai, an outsider hiding here, was actually the notorious bird-catcher leader of Kuntian Continent.
From this point of view, it is self-evident why the bird catcher stopped Li Qi when he ambushed him. There was also the ambush and murder of Che Yunlu. If Yu Hao hadn't come forward, how could the bird catcher kidnap and kill an elder of the Dengtian Palace? This was something that was often taboo.
"Does the sect master want to kill me and silence me?" Wu Gen put his hands on his knees and looked straight at Mu Bai on the other side of the light beam.
"As long as you keep this secret, your life will be safe." Mubai clapped his hands and looked at the back of the room, "I think you are so important to me and have placed your vision on you. I will always be like this in my life." Junior, how can I let her down? However, there is something you must do for me."
Hearing these words, Wu Gen's heart almost lifted into the air. It would be such a simple matter for Mu Bai to entrust him to him personally, and it might cost his own life.
Mu Bai glanced at Wu Gen, and with a flick of his finger, the door of the thatched cottage slowly closed, and the sunlight on the window disappeared. It was obvious that this secret realm had been closed and isolated from the outside world.
There were beads of sweat on Wu Gen's back. He regretted what he had just done. He should not have identified Mu Bai to his face as the leader of the Fowler Sect. He couldn't run away now.
"I once told you that the ancestor of our lineage was once the elder of Dengtian Palace. At that time, Dengtian Palace did not have seven halls and two platforms, but eight halls and two platforms. There was an extra general affairs hall, and the ancestor was Command the entire General Affairs Hall and be superior to other halls." Mu Bai looked in the direction of the door with a sad expression.
"Originally, the ancestor was very likely to become the hall master. Because of the death energy in his body, in order to prevent him from going crazy and hurting others, he lowered himself to cultivation. Other hall masters and elders joined forces to seal it in a place called Moyuan in the far north of Kuntian Continent. of.
I want you to free the ancestor, but of course not now. If the shepherds and the cult come to a life-and-death battle, you can take action then. The aura of death in Mo Yuan is so strong that no one can get close to it, and only you can enter. "
Wu Gen blinked, and secretly complained in his heart, how could it be so easy to enter the place where the ancestor Mubai could be sealed, "Master, why do you want to release the ancestor, but start a war with the Dengtian Palace?"
"Let's call him Mu Master." Mu Bai glanced at Wu Gen, "Did you know that there are realms above the six realms in the world."
Wu Gen's expression changed slightly and he said with surprise, "I thought that was a legend."
"The Six Realms are respected in the world because the appearance of these people will not disturb the general trend of the world. Moreover, among the Six Realms, the level of cultivation is very different. You are like Zhang You. Although you are also in the Six Realms, I am a You can suppress him with your palms." Mu Shou stood up and walked slowly around the room with his hands behind his back.
"Once the existences above the sixth level take action, they can destroy cities and countries with a single move. The two warring parties do not need to fight. I am afraid that they will all die in the hands of these experts. Therefore, they all live in seclusion in the secret places of the world, and they usually do not come out to the world. In addition, every time they take action, they will lose their longevity, and they will not show up easily. In their eyes, the tribesmen fight life and death with foreign tribes.
It's just children fighting.
But all sides must have such people as a means of intimidating the other side. Let me tell you, there are also such existences in the divine religion. If you subvert the divine religion, when it comes to life and death, see if these people will take action. "
"This...how should we deal with this?" After hearing this, Wu Gen could no longer sit still, sweat dripped from his forehead, and followed Mu Bai. He even put down harsh words and wanted to defeat the divine religion. If someone released such a person and slapped him, the fearless army would be wiped out. How could he fight?
"Before the ancestor sealed himself, his cultivation level had actually broken through the six realms. Otherwise, he would not have lowered his cultivation level and allowed others to do what he did." Mu Bai looked solemn and said as he walked, "I can see it too, with you With his nature, it is impossible to say that he will really kill the temple. By then, the shepherds and the divine religion will become a pot of porridge, and there must be an expert to frighten the other party's seven realms.
In the Ascension Hall today, the master of the hall has been in seclusion for many years, and he doesn’t know if he can break through the six realms. Therefore, to be on the safe side, he still needs to ask the ancestors to come out to suppress the situation. This will also be a great help in conquering the divine religion, and it will bring many benefits. Family matters.
Of course, there is also my selfishness here. After the Ancestor's accident, not only was the General Affairs Hall withdrawn, but our lineage was also targeted by the people in the hall and was forced to hide here to guard the secret realm. If the ancestor can be released, this lineage can truly leave here, and the men under me can also take off their masks and walk openly and honestly in the world. "
Hush, Wu Gen let out a sigh of relief. So that’s it. To be honest, it’s really hard for me to refuse. Although the other party also has his own selfish motives, it is really helpful to his conquest. No wonder Yu Hao wants to be the master of the Ascension Palace with great ambition. It turns out there is such a hidden secret.
"If there is a battle between the shepherds and the divine cult, I will definitely try my best to save our ancestors." Wu Gen didn't say anything. Mo Yuan might as well not go.
Mu Bai smiled slightly and patted Wu Gen on the shoulder, "Although the appearance of the herders is different from that of the human race, their habits are quite similar to those of the human race in Beizhou.
People of the same clan must have the same civilization. How can they be called the same clan if they only have superficial appearance? The divine religion wants all races in the world to succumb to its rules, only follow the teachings, and destroy human relations. Although they are the same human race, they are no different from alien races. Therefore, I have great confidence in Beizhou and Shepherd United. However, what do you think is the biggest obstacle currently preventing shepherds from getting close to the people of Beizhou? "
"The method of extracting and devouring." Wu Gen said without hesitation, "With this method, it will be difficult for the two families to truly have a heart-to-heart relationship, let alone talk about mutual aid."
"Yes, it is the art of extracting and devouring. With this art, the human race will regard the herdsmen as ferocious beasts, so how can they be willing to join forces. I have heard about the trick you did on Zuoheng Road. It can only treat the symptoms but not the root cause. If Forcibly pushing it across the entire Kuntian Continent, there is no chance that the entire continent will rebel." Mu Bai nodded.
Next, Mu Bai looked serious and lingered in the room for a long time. When Wu Gen even felt a little nervous, he said solemnly, "That's good. I have a sharp weapon that can truly put an end to the shepherd's devouring technique."
Wu Gen was stunned, what kind of incredible thing could control thousands of herdsmen no longer relying on the art of extracting and devouring.
The two of them went to the back of the house and went directly into the secret realm. As they were walking towards Junshan, Yuhao came towards me with a radish-like spiritual grass nibbling in her mouth.
"Come together, haven't you always been curious about that cave in the mountain?" Mu Bai ordered, leading Yu Hao and Wu Gen directly to the cave that was spewing mist.
Yuhao stuck out her tongue and winked at Wu Gen. This cave was her childhood nightmare. The only time her master got angry was because she wanted to sneak into the cave secretly.
Entering the wide cave, white mist lingered on the ground, and the stone walls were wet everywhere. Thick vines grew on the cave walls, and there were countless strange black shadows running quickly through the stone walls. As soon as they entered, a humanoid black shadow jumped out from the cave wall. It was a two-headed giant, and he was about to step forward with a menacing attitude.
Mu Bai flicked his fingers and made seals repeatedly. The giant retreated into the stone wall and turned into a shadow-like existence. The three of them meandered along the long stone cave. Along the way, there were countless black figures hidden in the dark walls. If they were all killed, how many people would die if they fought with these strange figures every step they took. Only then can I walk into the cave.
In the strange vine
After walking among the branches for half an hour, there was a cliff ahead. Under the cliff, the flowing clouds were heavy and my eyes were filled with confusion. Mu Bai's footsteps did not stop and he stepped directly into the clouds.
Wu Gen glanced at Yu Hao, grabbed her hand tightly, and jumped directly into the clouds. Thinking about it, Mu Bai would not let his precious apprentice fall to death, and even if he died, he would have to take someone with him on his back.
After passing through the flowing clouds, Wu Gen's feet landed on a solid ground. He looked up and saw that the flowing clouds had reached above his head. Yu Hao threw away Wu Gen's hand angrily and followed closely behind her master.
Less than a few miles further, it was getting hotter and hotter, but there was a sea of fire that stretched for an unknown number of miles. The flame was not hot, even a little cold. But just by looking at it, Wu Gen felt that his soul was about to burn. I guess this fire was only aimed at the soul.
A black path appeared in the sea of fire. Mubai stepped into the stone path without any hesitation. Wu Gen and Yu looked at their noses, noses and mouths, staring at their feet, and finally passed through the sea of fire.
As we walked further, a huge circular hole suddenly appeared in front of us, and lightning flashed from time to time in the hole. Arriving here, Mubai hesitated for the first time. As he stepped forward, a straight bridge appeared in the air, reaching the center of the cave.
I walked carefully to the end of the bridge, and there were colorful bubbles floating on the top of the cave. In the bubble, there are countless light spots like fireflies flying around, and the stars are dotted, light and erratic.
With Wu Gen's eyesight, it can be seen that each light spot is actually a human shape the size of a grain of rice, like a miniature paper man, floating in the bubbles.
"This object is called Tengjian. The reason why our lineage is trapped in the secret realm is to take care of this object." Mu Bai looked at the bubbles one by one with a complicated expression.
"What does this Teng Jian have to say?" Looking at the harmless Teng Jian and thinking about the agencies he passed along the way, Wu Gen couldn't help but be a little curious.
"Teng Jian likes to feed on remnant souls, and ghosts are afraid of them. But at the same time, it is also a nightmare for those who have used the method of extracting and devouring for many years. If there are more people extracting and devouring, more or less fragments of other people's souls will remain in their bodies. , the souls of these people are actually impure.
After Teng Jian enters the body, he will not only devour the remaining soul, but also the person's soul. In the end, the soul will die and the soul will disappear.
The more expert you are, the more people you have eaten, and the easier it is for you to be targeted by Teng Jian. Three hundred years ago, Teng Jian broke out in a certain place and almost wiped out all the people in the fourth realm and above in the province. The Dengtian Palace spent countless treasures and exhausted all methods to suppress it. Mubai walked under the bubbles and looked up at these cute-looking elves.
Wu Gen frowned, "What harm would that do to ordinary people?"
"No, ordinary people don't have the energy to devour others. The soul is naturally pure. Only those who use the technique of consuming or seizing bodies will be harmed by it. It's amazing, it's like the creatures created by God, punishing those who You bastard who feeds on people." Mubai smiled slightly, and with a flick, a bubble floated close to him and swayed away again.
Wu Gen's heart moved. If Teng Jian was released, how many herdsmen would die in confusion. The number of people in Kuntian Continent would be more than 30% less.
Mu Bai saw Wu Gen's thoughts, "Although I deeply hate the method of extracting and devouring, I will never let Teng Jian's original species escape. They will produce generations of descendants and eventually kill most of the master shepherds." , how can the shepherds fight against the divine religion at that time.
After generations of screening, some Tengjian are no longer able to reproduce. These bamboo slips can only be released to warn the shepherds and slowly change this bad habit that has lasted for many years. The fowler will do this, as long as you know it. Of course, I will discuss it carefully with Dengtian Palace, and I think they will agree. The divine religion is now aggressive, and the shepherds are at the point of life and death. If they don't change themselves and unite with the human race, sooner or later the entire clan will be destroyed. "
One day later, Wu Gen and Yu Hao returned to Xianwan City, bringing with them a small box containing a blood-stained animal skin. This is for Baoxiang.
Since Mubai refused to give Wu Gen the Tengjian and settled for the next best thing, Wu Gen asked for a treasure that could allow the treasure elephant to break through the realm. According to Mu Bai, the treasure elephant should have the bloodline of wild beasts, so it needs to continuously devour treasures to advance. This animal skin was obtained from a ruins, and it still contains a huge amount of blood, which should be able to help the treasure elephant break through the realm.
.
After returning to Xianwan City, Wu Gen immediately summoned all the generals to make arrangements to attack Shule Province. The biggest advantage of meeting with Dengtian Palace this time is that the other party has acquiesced in the existence of the Fearless Army, which also means that the use of troops in Shule Province will not attract boycotts from the shepherds.
Half a year later, Wu Gen personally led nearly 200,000 troops to raid Shule Province. One of them went south from Liangzhe Mountain, and the other went east from Zuoheng Road, including the newly formed navy, Zuoheng Army and the post-war troops stationed here. military.
The Xianyu family, who was caught off guard, borrowed troops from other provinces and quickly sent troops south to try to support the five southern roads.
But the strange thing is that no province is willing to send troops. Half a month after the war, Ji State and Bailing Province suddenly sent troops from the north and northwest to attack Shule Province.
There was smoke billowing everywhere in Xianyu's house, and the fight was extremely passive. A month later, the Xianyu family asked for surrender from the Hulan family and Ji State, and was willing to cede the cities occupied by the two families. At the same time, at Wu Gen's insistence, they ceded the land east and south of Ji State.
In this way, this family, which has a long and narrow terrain and has repeatedly deployed troops to foreign countries, was cut off in the middle, and its territory was reduced by nearly 50%. Ji State harvested the land in the east and south of Liangzhe Mountain. In addition to taking back its old city, the Hulan family also captured twenty cities of the Xianyu family in the north.
Such a big war was calm in Kuntian Continent. From the Dengtian Palace to other provinces, everyone maintained a strange silence.
At this point, the Fearless Army actually controlled a large area of land from the south of Liangzhe Mountain to Zuoheng Road, and the two places were completely connected.
Wu Gen established Haidai, Jiameng and Shi'an roads south of Liangzhe Mountain. In addition to the Chinese army, all armies moved out of Liangzhe Mountain and were stationed in various places, and began to establish Haidai, Jiameng and Shi'an. The three armies, together with the Zuoheng Army, serve as the main garrison force in front and behind.
Two months after the war ended, Wu Gen, who had left Xianwan City, was walking alone in Hengmen Harbor. He looked at a tall white warship in the harbor and stood silently for a long time.
Boarding the warship, stroking the solid side of the ship, Wu Gen looked toward the sea to the west. There, the red sun sinks, the rays shine brightly, and the vast sea is burning.
