Mu Jingyu originally wanted to take Bi Yun from the far north to the south and reach the Ice City as quickly as possible. However, under Qin Yunchuan's reminder, he thought that Han Wenyuan was one step ahead of the two of them and would definitely enter Xihan Yuanzhou in advance.
At that time, no matter how much the two of them hide their whereabouts, they can't hide it from Han Wenyuan's spy. After all, the righteous factions are busy going back to reorganize their personnel and prepare to snatch the genius and treasure. How can they spare their hands to deal with the Xihanyuanzhou factions who have betrayed the righteous way and lost the Jiuli tribe as their backer.
If the traces of Mu Jingyu and Bi Yun were indeed discovered by Han Wenyuan in advance, it would not be an easy task for him to quietly rescue Yihong's parents and everyone imprisoned in the Ice City Worship Hall. .
After weighing the pros and cons, Mu Jingyu decided to accept Qin Yunchuan's suggestion and change his route from the east of the Far North. He first met up with Jiuhua Mountain and other factions to make sure that they had not encountered the men in black, and then ascended along the east pole. From the place where Mizhou and Junshanzhou intersect with Xihanyuanzhou, sneak into Ice City from the southeast.
Although this journey is definitely faster than going directly south from the Far North and crossing from the Netherworld Ghost State. However, for the sake of safety, Mu Jingyu had to abandon the near and seek the far away.
After saying goodbye to Jin Yingzi and other members of the Jiuli tribe, Mu Jingyu had no time to wait for Qin Yunchuan and others to set off together. He and Bi Yun both jumped onto the Wuyin Immortal Sword, activated their innate realm cultivation, and disappeared in the eastern sky in the blink of an eye. .
It didn't take long for Mu Jingyu to spot the Jiuhua Sect, Emei Sect, Jinxiu Palace, Lingxiao Pavilion, Lei Gongbao and Hidden Wind Valley sects from mid-air.
Because there are a large number of injured disciples in these sects, and with the large number of people, their actions are naturally inferior to that of him and Jin Yingzi.
After falling from the clouds to the crowd, Mu Jingyu couldn't explain his purpose clearly. After all, after Han Wenyuan secretly escaped with people, the spies who followed Han Yao and were previously placed in various factions also disappeared.
In order to ensure that his mission to rescue Yi Hong's parents was not exposed, Mu Jingyu only briefly recounted the attack on the four Wujixu sects. Finally, each faction was asked whether they were being followed by men in black.
Unexpectedly, several factions had already known about Wujixu's attack. They also sent people to the scene of the accident and learned the details of what happened.
Through conversation, Mu Jingyu learned that what they knew about what happened was roughly the same as what Lie Lang said. It's just that what happened later was not what they had expected.
After Master Tongxuan led his men to escape, the four men in black did indeed stay in place, seemingly waiting for help. However, when the Jiuhua Mountain factions got the news and rushed over, they found that the four men in black had disappeared.
Only injured disciples of the four sects were left, scattered within a one-mile radius. And what surprised them was that although the men in black went on a killing spree, they did not kill these people.
But after absorbing the true energy or spiritual energy in their bodies, they just let it go. Let them lie on the ground in a mess, wailing everywhere.
Hearing this, Mu Jingyu became even more confused. What does the man in black mean by this move? Is it just to absorb the spiritual energy and true energy in their bodies and improve their own cultivation?
Aren't they afraid of saving the lives of the four sects to regain their cultivation and become their enemies in the future?
However, Mu Jingyu and others have no way of knowing what the truth is.
After telling Master Tianyang to be careful all the way and returning to the master's gate first, Qin Yunchuan and others finally caught up. After Mu Jingyu and Bi Yun said goodbye to them, they set off again to the Ice City in Xihanyuanzhou.
The farther away you get from the extreme north, the smaller the scope of the polar night becomes. By the time Mu Jingyu and Bi Yun were about to leave the Far North, they could already feel that the sunrise and sunset were gradually becoming normal.
After identifying the direction, the two went south along the connection between Dongji Shengzhou and the Far North. In less than three or two days, we arrived at the boundary of Junshan Mizhou.
Because during these three days, the two of them traveled almost day and night, with no time to rest at all. They both felt exhausted, so they temporarily found a tavern in the town to rest for one night, and then continued on their way.
Since he had to stay one night, Mu Jingyu certainly didn't just want to rest. Find Wangxian Tower stationed in this city and inquire about the situation of the four Wujixu sects, Lingjue Temple, Yukun Palace and other sects that left first.
Through the Xiang Master of Wangxian Tower here, we learned that except for the four Wujixu factions, the men in black had never made a sneak attack on any of the factions. They disappeared from everyone's sight and their whereabouts were unknown.
After receiving the news, the remaining factions immediately stepped up patrols on the way back. Once they returned to their respective divisions, they immediately followed Mu Jingyu's advice to confine the gates and treat their disciples first.
As for the two Dharma kings Bi Yan and Zhu Yan, as well as the Qi Jue scholar, Tai Er Zhenren and many other casual cultivators, after leaving the far north, they immediately dispersed like birds and beasts and rushed towards the place where the heavenly materials and earthly treasures that they had identified in advance were born. . It seems that they want to take advantage of the righteous factions to grab enough heavenly materials and earthly treasures in advance to enhance their own strength.
However, what puzzled Mu Jingyu was that after leaving the Far North, the King of the North Pluto led his group of spirits. He only asked the Withered Bone Demon Lord to lead them back to the Demon Hades Palace, but he left quietly without knowing where he was. disappeared.
The righteous factions who got the news came to the conclusion one after another. Did King Bei Pluto also want to take advantage of their recuperation to search for heavenly materials and earthly treasures alone?
However, after Taier Zhenren contacted Jin Buhuan, he discovered that Bei Pluto, who left alone, had disappeared like the man in black. No trace of him was found in several places where genius treasures were born.
Although Mu Jingyu was very concerned about the whereabouts of Bei Pluto and the man in black, he knew that his more important thing at the moment was to rush to Ice City and rescue Yi Hong's parents. He immediately asked the incense owner of Wangxian Tower about Han Wenyuan's whereabouts.
However, although the city he was in was located in the Misty Mountains, it was not far from Xihan Yuanzhou. However, Jin Buhuan had already given an order, and no one could leave at will without his instructions.
He wanted to help, but there was nothing he could do. Mu Jingyu could only ask him in the end. Once he learned about the situation in Ice City, he immediately sent a letter to Wangxian Tower in Xihanyuanzhou to tell him some details. 33
After a night's rest, Mu Jingyu and Bi Yun's spirits improved significantly. It passes through the middle of the steep mountain range and reaches the boundary of Xihanyuanzhou.
But when passing by Jiuhua Mountain, Mu Jingyu couldn't help but stop for a while, looking at the sect he joined as a boy with a lot of emotion.
So many things have happened in the past six months that it feels like several years have passed.
After sighing in the end, hoping that the Jiuhua sect would no longer suffer hardships, he took Bi Yun and left.
The scenery is still the same despite the steep mountains and lost state.
The various factions scattered among them must have learned about the battle in the temple. There are some who are desperate to resist, and there are those who are worried about being liquidated and are busy sending disciples to express their loyalty to various factions. Of course, those who reacted the calmest were undoubtedly those small sects.
Their strength was low, and they were threatened by the Han family and the Zhao Shi family, and had to follow them and attach themselves to the Jiuli tribe. Now that Han Wenyuan failed, they were not worried anymore.
After all, their strength is low, and the major sects must look down on their territory! The top priority is to take the opportunity to find the geniuses born on their territory. Improving their own strength is the most important thing at the moment.
Mu Jingyu and Bi Yun had already changed their appearance with human skin cotton gear, and took advantage of the chaos among the factions in Xihan Yuanzhou to fly in the direction of Ice City.
It seems that Han Wenyuan has not brought anyone back to Ice City yet, which just gives Mu Jingyu a chance, and of course he does not dare to delay.
Because Mu Jingyu, Qin Yunchuan, Zhou Yan and others had been to Ice City twice a few months ago, he knew its location very well. If everything goes well, it will only take two days at most to get there.
As the Ice City got closer, Mu Jingyu slowed down. While walking around among the traders and inquiring about the situation in the Ice City, he was careful not to let his identity be leaked.
When they finally arrived ten miles away from Ice City, an incense owner from Wangxian Tower found the two of them and brought news about Han Wenyuan.
It was learned from his mouth that after Han Wenyuan escaped from the temple, he indeed took the road south from Netherworld Ghost State and entered the boundary of Xihan Yuanzhou three days ago.
However, after Mu Jingyu left, Jin Yingzi quickly dispatched her clan members, including Han Wenyuan and others, to buy some time for Mu Jingyu even if they could not stay in Netherworld Ghost State.
Although Han Wenyuan finally left the Netherworld Ghost State, his men suffered numerous casualties, and only he and several heads and family heads escaped successfully. At this moment, he was desperately trying to return to the Ice City, preparing to face Mu Jingyu's wrath.
However, how could Mu Jingyu give him this opportunity? He immediately decided to change his mind, bypass the Ice City, and give Han Wenyuan a head-on blow. As long as he is eliminated, how can the remaining Han family disciples in Ice City dare to embarrass the people in the worship hall if they don't run away?
After bidding farewell to this man, Mu Jingyu took Bi Yun around from the west of Ice City, setting up an ambush on Han Wenyuan's only path, waiting for him to come to his door automatically.
But what he didn't know was that at the top of the Ice City, two old men wearing blue robes and cloaks covering their faces were watching every move of Mu Jingyu and Bi Yun.
Beside him, the real decision-maker of the Han family, Han Songqing, whom Han Wenyuan called his uncle, stood bowed to the side. Behind the three people, four men in black, who had disappeared for a long time, stood aside with expressionless faces.
It is not difficult to see from Han Songqing's expression that the Han family has been linked to the man in black at some point.
"Two Immortals, Mu Jingyu came to the Ice City just as you expected. It's just that they changed direction and seemed to be heading in the direction of my nephew Han Wenyuan. They had no intention of entering. City. Could it be that... I know you are staying in the city and are afraid to move forward? "
"Haha, Mr. Han must be worried about the safety of your nephew." The old man in black on the left wore a ghost mask on his face and said in a hoarse voice: "Don't worry, whether Mu Jingyu is entering the city or attacking Han Wenyuan , it was all within the expectations of the two of us.”
Han Songqing said: "Two Immortals, Wen Yuan's side is weak alone, and it is definitely not the joint efforts of Mu Jingyu and Bi Yun. Do you need me to send some disciples to help you?"
The old man in black on the right wore an animal mask and said with a slight smile: "You are worried about Han Wenyuan's safety. Don't worry, since your Han family has taken refuge with us, you will protect Han Wenyuan. Is it just now... …We also need him to act as bait to lure Mu Jingyu to the place we booked.”
"This..." Han Songqing hesitated, obviously worried about Han Wenyuan.
"Okay, okay, if you don't trust him, just send some people to follow Mu Jingyu. Once you find that Han Wenyuan is in danger, just go and save him." The ghost-faced old man in black on the left waved his hand and said.
"Thank you, God, for your understanding." Han Songqing breathed a long sigh of relief, and without bothering to say goodbye to them, he hurriedly walked down the tower and arranged for people to pick up Han Wenyuan.
The two old men in black still stayed at the top of the city, looking at Mu Jingyu who was retreating in the distance. The old man in black with a hoarse voice and an animal face said: "Are you really planning to let Mu Jingyu obtain the Jiuyao Xuanguang Chain?" The two spirit beads in it?"
"Why, are you worried that if Mu Jingyu gets two more spirit beads, his strength will greatly increase, and you and I won't be able to cure him even if we work together?"
"I'm not afraid of that! Mu Jingyu's cultivation is getting stronger. Is he still a match for you and me? It's just... you have also seen what happened in the temple. The gates of the immortal world are wide open. What is recorded in the ancient books is confirmed. Undoubtedly. And how many years can you and I have to live even if we are old? In addition, the immortal treasures of the Nine Provinces are born one after another, the righteous sects, the demons of Yaoming Palace, and the many casual cultivators headed by Qijue Scholars will definitely fight for it with all their strength. If you still act in accordance with the previous agreement, I'm afraid you will ruin this great opportunity."
Some people died, but not completely...
