Opening the paper, what comes into view are lines of small, sharp characters. Mu Jingyu just glanced at it casually and saw that it was written by Qin Yunchuan himself.
"Dear Jingyu, when you read this letter, I believe that Jade Kun Palace has returned to peace. I, Yan Mei, Junior Sister Su, Xiao Die, Shi Dahong, Brother Yu and other six people have offered the Tai Er According to the instructions of the seniors, they did not follow them to the Jade Kun Palace. Instead, they went all the way south, bypassing several states, and went to the Netherworld Ghost State to inquire about the news. I guess Senior Taier has told you about this matter a long time ago. .”
Mu Jingyu read it word by word, and the faces of Qin Yunchuan and others appeared in front of his eyes, and they not only smiled. After turning the first page, continue reading the second page.
"Although there were some twists and turns along the way, fortunately, we successfully sneaked into the Netherworld Ghost State and got in touch with Miss Jin Yingzi and Senior Ba Zheng who returned here earlier. Through them, we learned that there are several members of the Jiuli tribe A slightly larger tribe was unwilling to follow the high priest, holy aunt and others to help Chi You return from the Netherworld Ghost State. But just when we were preparing to split up to contact these tribes, an accident happened."
At the beginning, Mu Jingyu's expression was quite calm. When I read about an accident, I instantly felt bad and quickly turned to the next page.
"Not long after we left, we were discovered by people from other tribes. After a big battle, several people suffered some injuries, but fortunately they were not serious. It was just that Senior Ba Zheng was seriously injured in order to protect us. , but you don’t have to worry, he’ll be fine after he rests for a while.”
"The trouble is, Miss Jin was kidnapped by them. Later, we followed her all the way and found that she was imprisoned in the Zhuli tribe and heavily guarded. Although we wanted to save her, our strength was limited and we were worried that we would not only save her If we don't get out of her, we will still be trapped in a cage, so we have no choice but to give up. If you have free hands over there, I hope you can come over in time to support me. Because I heard that the high priest and the holy aunt have decided to take action against the Zhuli tribe. If it's too late, I'm afraid I won't be able to save Miss Jin and others."
After Mu Jingyu finished reading, he slowly closed the paper. Speaking of which, in the valley of Jiuhua Mountain, he agreed to the request of the great elder Zhu Li and found the Zhu Li clan.
Although he has fulfilled his instructions now, he cannot do anything to watch the Zhuli tribe being exterminated. What's more, Jin Yingzi helped him a lot. Not to mention other things, this friendship alone made him have to rescue them.
Master Taier pushed the tea cup and signaled Mu Jingyu not to worry: "Jingyu, it seems that your previous decision was right. You need to go to Netherworld Ghost State. But... you want to rescue the trapped Zhuli people. Man, it’s hard to do it with your own strength, so it’s better to bring a few more people with you.”
"No." Mu Jingyu refused: "There are many gaps between the factions, and it is difficult to form a joint force. If I separate some strong ones, how can I still frighten the four Wujixu factions? Besides, once the Jiuli tribe and the Bei tribe Pluto, knowing that our troops are divided into two groups, might be able to defeat each one."
Master Taier said: "That's true, but I'm really worried about you going alone."
Mu Jingyu patted the Chiyou Demonic Ax on his waist, shook his left wrist and said with a smile: "Don't forget, this junior now not only has ancient artifacts such as the Jiuyao Xuanguang Chain, but also the Chiyou Demonic Axe. Even if you encounter someone in black, People are capable of fighting! Besides, except for a limited number of people, who else would know that I left alone?"
Mu Jingyu was right. With the help of two artifacts, he was indeed not afraid of anyone.
"Okay, then I won't say anything more." Master Taier warned: "If you encounter any danger on the road, you can use my Tianji Pavilion or Wangxian Tower. They have been operating locally for many years and can guarantee Your completeness.”
The day passed quickly. The spirits of the righteous sects and Bi Yun, as well as many casual cultivators, were busy arranging the injured disciples and preparing various pills to prepare for the attack on the Netherworld Ghost State.
In addition, several teams of people were dispatched to the Far North and the Netherworld Ghost State to inquire about information. Several more teams rushed to the righteous sects separately, notifying them to go to Lingjue Temple and Wujixu to escape.
Taking advantage of the darkness of the night, Mu Jingyu and Bi Yun quietly sneaked out of the Yukun Palace, preparing to take a long way to the Netherworld Ghost State.
Originally, Mu Jingyu planned to go alone. However, Bi Yun stayed with him the whole day, pestering him to go together. No matter how much Mu Jingyu tried to persuade him, he just refused. I had no choice but to agree.
At dawn the next day, disciples from various sects who were ready to go gathered at the foot of Yukun Palace. Under the leadership of Elder Wu, Headmaster Qinglian, and Scholar Qijue, they marched toward the west of the far north. Heading forward.
Although some disciples discovered early that Mu Jingyu and Bi Yun were missing. They also asked their respective heads and family heads, but after being scolded, who dared to ask more questions?
The sun rises in the east, and the warm sunshine shines on the earth, adding a bit of warmth to the world.
When they first left the Jade Kun Palace, in order to avoid being discovered, Mu Jingyu and Bi Yun did not dare to use their cultivation to go all out. Walking in the mountains with only your legs is naturally not fast.
Only after they were within twenty or thirty miles of Jade Kun Palace did they relax their vigilance. Looking at the sky, Mu Jingyu found a place leeward and stopped, letting Bi Yun rest for a while. Then he formed a circle with his index finger and thumb, put it in his mouth and made a few bird calls.
Bi Yun looked at Mu Jingyu in confusion: "Jingyu, why are you trying to imitate bird songs?"
Mu Jingyu smiled mysteriously, and after making a few more noises, he sat cross-legged next to Bi Yun and said, "You'll know later."
What Bi Yun didn't know was that this was the signal agreed between Mu Jingyu and Yi Hong. As early as when he decided to go to Netherworld Ghost State alone, he made up his mind to bring Yi Hong with him.
Firstly, it's because he has a special identity. No matter who he lets take him with him, his identity will inevitably be exposed. Secondly, if I want to go to Netherworld Ghost State, I will definitely pass by Xihanyuanzhou. With Yi Hong's words, I might be able to find an opportunity for him to sneak back to Han Yao.
After a while, Mu Jingyu didn't hear Yi Hong's reply or figure. Could it be that what this kid said before was all lies to him?
Seeing that Mu Jingyu let him go, did he find an opportunity to escape? But after thinking about it again, Mu Jingyu felt that it was impossible. Zhu Yan planted spiritual consciousness in Yi Hong's body earlier. Does he dare to risk his escape?
Just when Mu Jingyu was impatient with waiting and was about to blow the bird song again, a figure quickly flew over from the mountains in the distance. Mu Jingyu looked intently and saw that it was Yi Hong who had not heard from him for a long time.
"Young Master Mu, my subordinates have limited cultivation. After hearing your summons, I hurriedly and slowly wasted time. Please punish me!" As soon as Yi Hong stopped, he immediately knelt down on one knee and lowered his head to commit suicide. blamed.
"Hey, what did Senior Brother Yihong say? You entered the school before me, and I, Mu Jingyu, even want to address you as Senior Brother. Wouldn't it cost my life if you gave me such a great gift?" Mu Jingyu quickly helped me. Qi Yihong said with a slight reproach.
Yi Hong was entrusted by Mu Jingyu's hands and stood up in time, still saying respectfully: "Although you and I are older and younger, since I, Yi Hong, recognize you as my master, how can I not pay attention to my identity?"
Mu Jingyu couldn't resist Yi Hong, so he could only let him stand half-bent beside him. Just as he was about to turn his head and introduce Yi Hong's identity to Bi Yun, the latter already took his arm and pulled Mu Jingyu aside.
"Jingyu, is he someone who is following Han Yao? Why did you take him under your wing? What if he..." Bi Yun asked in a low voice.
Mu Jingyu glanced at Yi Hong, and then said with a smile: "Don't worry, senior brother Yi Hong has corrected his evil ways and will no longer cause trouble by helping Han Yao."
Bi Yun still worried and asked: "What happened in the middle? If you don't explain it to me, how can you make me feel relieved?"
Mu Jingyu knew that Bi Yun was also doing it for his own good, so he patiently explained the cause and effect of the matter, and finally assured: "Yi Hong also went astray when he was young for the sake of his family and his own future. This time, In order to save his own life, Han Yao let him die. He has long been heartbroken and will definitely not betray me."
Bi Yun stretched out her finger, touched the tip of Mu Jingyu's nose, and said with a bit of complaint: "You are the only one with a kind heart! It seems that these years of experience have not polished your character."
Mu Jingyu put his hands behind his back, looked up at the rising sun, and said in a serious tone: "Humans, sometimes for their own benefit, they will inevitably make wrong choices. After all, I, Mu Jingyu, was born in a righteous way, how can I do it because of How can one judge that a person is a bad person just by making a momentary mistake? If you really think so, what is the difference between you and those righteous disciples who harbor evil intentions?"
Mu Jingyu's words intentionally or unintentionally accused the righteous sects of more than 30 years ago, without conducting a thorough investigation, of framing all the spirits, causing countless casualties in the Tiandao Demon Slayer. In the following thirty years, in the name of exterminating demons and defending Taoism, he carried out the foolish behavior of killing monsters everywhere.
Bi Yun did not agree, and snorted: "People's hearts are separated from each other. Who can know what he is thinking? Don't forget, all creatures have good and evil sides. There are many people who do one thing in front of others and another behind their backs." Went. Can you guarantee that he, Yi Hong, is not such a person?"
Mu Jingyu turned to look at Yi Hong, who was feeling uneasy, and said flatly: "Whether you believe Yi Hong or not, I, Mu Jingyu, believe that he has changed his ways."
Bi Yunhan said with a face: "Why? Just because of his filial piety? Just because he can clearly see Han Yao's vicious heart?"
"It's all a little bit." Mu Jingyu said: "Don't forget, wasn't it because of his family that Brother Chen En was ordered to sneak into Lingxiao Pavilion to be a spy? In the end, didn't he rein in the cliff and find his way back? Otherwise... …Sister Coral has been raped for a long time…”
Since Bi Yun woke up, she has gained a general understanding of what happened to Mu Jingyu and Qin Yunchuan in the Beihai Mermaid Tribe, and naturally knows about Chen En and Coral.
"But...but...hey, forget it, I can't tell you anything. Whatever you want to do, you can do it." Bi Yun stamped her foot angrily and turned away, refusing to talk to Mu Jingyu.
Mu Jingyu suddenly felt dizzy. Seeing Bi Yun's angry look, he knew that she was doing it for his own good. He leaned close to her ear and whispered softly: "Don't be angry! I didn't just do this to give Yi Hong An opportunity to reform. More importantly, we need to let Yi Hongqian return to Han Yao so that we can find an opportunity to get rid of him."
However, Bi Yun was not as relieved as Ru Mu Jingyu expected. Instead, she held his hand tightly and exclaimed: "What! You actually think... what if Yi Hong just deceived you and took the opportunity to return to Han Yao?" , while being obedient to you, and at the same time tipping off Han Yao, wouldn’t you be falling into Han Yao’s conspiracy again?”
Mu Jingyu sighed helplessly: "There is no other way. Han Yao is not only insidious, but also very cunning. If I don't take the risk of planting a chess piece next to him, I won't even think of catching him! Besides, , Senior Zhu Yan has also planted spiritual consciousness in Yi Hong’s body to control his life and death at any time, I’m sorry he doesn’t dare to betray me at will.”
Bi Yun knew how dangerous it was for Mu Jingyu to do this, but looking at his determined eyes, she knew that it was unintentional to persuade him, so she could only nod silently, and then warned: "Anyway, you have to be careful. Whatever you should say or shouldn't be said, do it first. Think about it and tell Yi Hong."
"Don't worry, I, Mu Jingyu, am not that stupid yet." Mu Jingyu smiled confidently, then took Bi Yun's hand and walked towards Yi Hong: "Let's not murmur. It’s over, otherwise he will have to think too much.”
