After coming out of the city, Mu Jingyu took out the two human skin masks he had prepared in advance, handed one to Bi Yun, and kept the other for himself. Among them, he has one himself, and the other one was obtained from chasing the Han family's children.
Then he asked Yi Hong to take out his own card. Then he took the lead in disguising himself as a middle-aged man and said: "Let's change our appearance here and sneak into Xihan Yuanzhou."
The two of them followed their orders and soon turned into a middle-aged man similar to Mu Jingyu. The three of them stepped towards the direction of Xihan Yuanzhou and walked quickly over.
By the time it was ten minutes past noon, we had entered the area of Xihan Yuanzhou. The terrain here rises suddenly, and the surrounding area is like a plateau. Although it is not as snow-capped as the far north, the wind is still biting.
According to the information Mu Jingyu received from the incense master of Tianji Pavilion, the closest place to here in Xihanyuan Continent is the Shi family in Screen City where Shi Jiang is located.
Mu Jingyu secretly said, God help me. Shi Jiang has been with Han Yao since he was a child. If Yi Hong finds a way to get in, wouldn't he be able to sneak up on Han Yao and get some important information?
Of course, Mu Jingyu didn't plan to tell Yi Hong until the last moment, lest he change his mind at the last minute and not dare to act as an internal agent for him.
But before he had gone far, Yi Hong saw something was wrong. Although he had not been to Xihan Yuanzhou a few times, he had followed Han Yao to Screen City where Shi Jiang was located. Looking at the familiar scenery around him, he asked doubtfully: "Junior Brother Mu, don't you want to pass through Xihanyuanzhou from here and hurry up to Netherworld Ghost State? But when I look at your route, you want to go to Screen City. Why do we need to travel hundreds of miles around?"
Mu Jingyu smiled mysteriously and said: "Haha, senior brother Yihong, don't worry, you will know when the time comes."
As night falls, Screen City in the distance appears in front of you. Just as Mu Jingyu was thinking about waiting for tomorrow morning to find a way to sneak in and find an opportunity for Yi Hong to blend in, there was a rapid sound of horse hooves coming from a distance.
"Someone is coming, let's find a place to hide quickly." Bi Yun stood up immediately, urging the two of them to extinguish the flames and hide in the woods not far away.
Although the three of them have changed their appearance, there is no need to worry about others seeing their true colors. However, the various factions in Xihan Yuanzhou have already secretly set up defenses and are always monitoring the passers-by. Once anyone is found acting suspiciously, they will definitely be surrounded and killed. To avoid trouble, it is better to avoid contact.
The sound of horse hooves sounded from far to near. Through the gap in the tree canopy, Mu Jingyu saw a group of more than ten people galloping on the official road. When he passed by nearby, Mu Jingyu finally saw the appearance of the person coming.
There was only one person in front of him, he was in his twenties, and he was wearing a brocade robe that showed his noble status. When Mu Jingyu moved his eyes to his face, he couldn't help but feel happy in his heart, and secretly shouted: "Hahaha, you really can't find anything even if you wear iron shoes, it doesn't take any effort at all!"
"Master Shi! How could it be him!" Yi Hong, who was beside him, naturally recognized the person's identity. Although he was slightly surprised, he shrank uneasily to avoid exposing his body.
There was no way, Shi Jiang knew clearly that he was forced by Han Yao to lure Mu Jingyu away. If it is found that he is not dead and has taken refuge in Mu Jingyu, what will be the consequences...you don't have to think about it.
Mu Jingyu patted Yi Hong and told him not to be nervous, and then said to Bi Yun: "Yun'er, do you think we can defeat them within a few moves if we work together?"
Bi Yun didn't understand Mu Jingyu's plan. After thinking about it, she stretched out a finger and said, "If it's a surprise, one move is enough."
"Haha, just as I thought."
It's not that the two of them are great, but that the more than ten people in front of them have really low cultivation. Needless to say, Shi Jiang is considered to be a man of cultivation among a group of people around his age. But in front of Mu Jingyu and Bi Yun, they were really not a threat.
As for the remaining ten or so followers... The Shi family is not strong to begin with. How high can their disciples be? According to Mu Jingyu's observation, the strongest person was only in the early stage of Guiyuan.
"Junior Brother Mu, do you want to get rid of Shi Jiang here? I don't think it's necessary! Although this Shi Jiang followed Han Yao and did a lot of evil things. But... But the most important thing for you now is still We have to rush to Netherworld Ghost State. If we let one or two of them escape, it will inevitably attract the attention of the Han family."
Yi Hong obviously persuaded Mu Jingyu to let Shi Jiang go out of consideration for him, but in fact, it was for his own consideration. After all, Shi Jiang has more than a dozen followers, and this place is too close to Screen City. If you are not careful, you will attract the attention of people in the city.
At that time, once they encircle and attack them in large numbers, it is unknown whether they can escape smoothly. What's even worse is that if his identity is found out, it will be difficult to save the lives of his parents.
How could Mu Jingyu not know Yi Hong's little thoughts? He consoled him, "Senior brother Yi, don't worry. Yun'er is right. Within one move, everyone in Shijiang is guaranteed to be captured."
Yi Hong still wanted to give some advice, but Mu Jingyu had already quietly pounced out, blocking everyone in Shijiang.
The horse was neighing and the crowd was boiling. Shijiang Xuan, who was rushing in front, stopped suddenly, raised the whip in his hand and angrily shouted: "Things that run out of nowhere dare to block my way!"
In the midst of the angry scolding, the horse's hooves slammed to the ground, making a loud sound. Shi Jiang continued to kick the horse's belly with both legs as he galloped angrily. It seems that he is preparing to smash people under his feet.
Seeing this, the more than ten followers behind him took control of their mounts and rushed over behind Shi Jiang. At the same time, he drew his weapon and looked around.
"It's not certain who will die today." Mu Jingyu deliberately lowered his voice to avoid Shi Jiang from hearing his identity. The heel suddenly exerted force and was firmly fixed on the ground. When the horse gallops close, he puts his hand in front of his chest. It seems that he is preparing to block the horse's tremendous power with just one palm.
"Seeking death!" Shi Jiang thought that the man in front of him was a robber, planning to rob him at night. Never would he have thought that this man was going to take his own life.
With a bang, the horse's head was only a few inches away from Mu Jingyu, and his palms were pressed tightly against the horse's chest. A stream of spiritual energy penetrated the body, shattering its internal organs.
Shi Jiang, who was sitting on it, didn't react for a while. According to his understanding, the cultivation of the man in front of him was definitely not strong. He was lucky to be able to stop the galloping horse. How could he kill him so easily.
"Something capable. But when you meet me, Shi Jiang, your life will stay here." Shi Jiang jumped up, and the weapon appeared in his hand before he knew it, and he slashed at Mu Jingyu's head from a high position.
"Slow, it's too slow." Mu Jingyu calmly raised his right hand, seemingly slow, but in fact he clamped the sword's edge quickly and accurately. No matter how hard Shi Jiang tried, he couldn't move it at all.
"You! Who are you!" At this moment, Shi Jiang finally realized that something was wrong. Although his cultivation level is not strong, it depends on who he wants to compare with. It was no problem to deal with ordinary Xiao Xiao. Since he was easily subdued by this person, it meant that his cultivation level was much higher than his own.
"Hahaha, look who I am." Mu Jingyu laughed and used his right hand to tear open the human skin mask, revealing his true face.
In the dim night, Shi Jiang just glanced at it and was frightened. He stepped back a few steps, not even daring to take the fairy sword. He pointed at Mu Jingyu tremblingly and shouted: "You... you are Mu Jingyu! Aren't you supposed to be in Yukun Palace? Why did you suddenly appear? it's here!"
After Shi Jiang finished speaking, he realized that asking was in vain. How could Mu Jingyu tell him the truth? He turned around and ran away without hesitation, shouting loudly at the same time: "Quick, notify the city and ask them to send rescuers!"
Shi Jiang saw with his own eyes that Mu Jingyu could fight on par with Master Suci alone. In his eyes, his own cultivation level is not even that of an ant. How can he think of resisting? I just want to escape quickly and don't die here.
Although the followers did not know what happened, they still took out the cylinder as ordered and prepared to send a distress signal. However, Bi Yun had already sneaked around behind her, and without waiting for them to make any move, she got rid of everyone cleanly.
Puff thump thump, after more than ten sounds in a row, Shi Jiang watched his men being easily killed by Bi Yun. He couldn't help but die. He suddenly felt a chill on his back and despair surged in his heart.
Looking at Mu Jingyu with a pale face, he took a few steps back and leaned against a tree trunk. He calmed down and asked, "Junior brother Mu, I never thought about dealing with you! Everything in the past was ordered by Han Yao. It has nothing to do with me. If you want revenge, go find him!"
Mu Jingyu looked at Shi Jiang and sneered: "Brother Shi, don't worry, I know that everything you did was ordered by Han Yao from behind. But... didn't you also obey his orders and participate in it? Since Han Yao can't be found for the time being, so I have to take it out on you first."
"Ah!" Shi Jiang was so frightened that he fell on the ground, shaking his hands constantly, and defended: "Junior Brother Mu, you misunderstood, you really misunderstood. I, Shi Jiang, only did those things after being threatened by him! As long as you spare my life, I promise not to do anything harmful to you again."
"Really?" Mu Jingyu walked up to Shi Jiang: "Well, it's not impossible for me to let you live. As long as you tell me where Han Wenyuan and his son are now. Why don't you follow them? Hurry back to Dao Screen City. If you tell me honestly, I will consider it."
"Is this..." Shi Jiang fell silent. If he didn't answer Mu Jingyu's question, he would inevitably die. But if he told the truth, even if Mu Jingyu could let him go, if Han Yao found out, let alone take his life, the entire Shi family would be uprooted.
"Look, look, my guess is that Senior Brother Shi is still loyal to Han Yao and does not want to expose his whereabouts. In this case... just follow those Han family children."
Mu Jingyu made a gesture and raised his palms. Shi Jiang was so frightened that he peed out and screamed: "No, no, I'm not going to tell you. I'll tell you everything I know."
Although Mu Jingyu will take Shi Jiang's life sooner or later, maybe it is always good to have more information. After taking back his palm, he straightened Yi Hong's clothes and said in a friendly voice: "Look at you, it would have been better to have done this earlier. I have to Are you asking me to force you to death? If this situation were to spread, wouldn't it be a loss of Mr. Shi's face?"
Shi Jiang moved his buttocks, not caring about the embarrassment at this time, and said quickly: "Junior brother Mu, to be honest, my father has already seen that the Jiuli tribe will be destroyed sooner or later. Therefore, he ordered me to find a reason, from Leave Han Yao and prepare to stop taking orders from them. Otherwise, in the end, you will end up dead."
After Shi Jiang finished speaking, he looked at Mu Jingyu nervously, hoping that he would believe what he said. However, the corners of Mu Jingyu's mouth raised, and he just looked at himself coldly, without showing any expression of belief.
"Really! Everything I said is true! If you don't believe it, you can send someone to investigate!" Shi Jiang hurriedly raised his right hand and swore.
If Zai Mu Jingyu hadn't heard Yi Hong's analysis or gotten information from the Tianji Pavilion incense master, he might really have believed it. But now... How could Mu Jingyu believe it so easily?
However, he still got some certainty from it, that is, the righteous factions set out from the far north to attack Chi You's physical body, which indeed made the Jiuli tribe feel in danger, and also made many Xihan Yuanzhou factions attached to the Han family possible. Got other ideas.
Whether this is the case requires further investigation.
