"Don't worry, I know it well." The old man in black clothes with a beast face said: "I have already sensed that although there are many immortal treasures that suddenly appeared, most of them are low-level magic weapons that were left behind after the ancient war. In the eyes of others, it is a rare treasure, but in the eyes of you and me, it is not of much use."
"Oh?" The old man in black clothes with an animal face asked curiously: "Are you serious?"
"Haha, can I still lie to you?" The ghost-faced old man in black said: "If you are worried, you can ignore Mu Jingyu and go find two pieces first. Then you will know whether what I said is true."
The old man in black clothes with an animal face said: "Since you said yes, can I still not believe you? If that's the case, just let them snatch away those genius treasures. They can just improve their own cultivation, and they can also help others in the future. I will strengthen my spiritual energy a little bit."
At this point, the old man in black clothes with an animal face turned to look at him and said: "However, we have agreed that Mu Jingyu and the Jiuyao Xuanguang Chain in his hand belong to you, and everyone else belongs to me. You... won't Regret it.”
"What, are you worried that I will go back on my word?" The ghost-faced old man in black said in a serious tone: "I have worked hard to cultivate Mu Jingyu, of course I am convinced that he can allow me to break through the realm of immortality and achieve the ability to break the void. Of course I will not and You've snatched the remaining spiritual energy, so don't worry."
"I just made sure, I didn't mean anything else." The old man in black clothes with the animal face sneered a few times and changed the subject: "It's just a pity that what happened in the temple was not as you and I expected, resulting in the previously planned The plan below didn't work. Otherwise, you and I should be looking for a place at this moment and try our best to break through the peak of immortality, hey..."
"What's the pity." The ghost-faced old man didn't care at all: "Who could have expected that Chi You had both good and evil beliefs in his body? Although I missed this good opportunity in vain and failed to achieve what I wanted, fortunately the immortal door is open. , It proves that what is recorded in the Classic of Mountains and Seas is correct, and the efforts we have made decades ago have finally not been in vain."
It is not difficult to tell from the conversation between the two that they have been leading four men in black, hiding in the dark, waiting for the opportunity when various factions besiege the Jiuli tribe, and use their ability to absorb spiritual energy from the practitioners to improve themselves Cultivation.
However, things changed again and again, far exceeding the previous expectations, causing the initial efforts to fall short. Fortunately, in the end, the Immortal Gate was opened, which not only confirmed the existence of the Immortal Realm, but also allowed the immortal treasures hidden in Kyushu to reappear, giving the two of them hope.
"I said, have you ever thought about why a large number of immortal treasures appeared after the immortal gate was closed? Is there any connection... or is there another hidden secret?"
"Do you suspect that the birth of the fairy treasures was not accidental, but was secretly controlled by someone?" After the ghost-faced old man in black finished speaking, he shook his head again. Apparently he felt that his conclusion just now was too whimsical: "These fairy treasures are all passed down from ancient times. The ones that came down were buried deep underground for more than a thousand years. No matter whether it was the righteous sects or the monsters in the Demon Palace, they were not found in a thousand years. At this moment, they all suddenly appeared. It must be after the immortal gate opened, they felt the spiritual energy overflowing from the immortal world. We were just born together. You don't have to make random guesses."
"Although my words are good, I always feel..." The old man in black on the left hand pondered for a moment and said: "Could it be that those people who ascended to the immortal world earlier, after seeing that no one can break through the void for more than a thousand years, deliberately led these people A genius treasure, let us compete to improve our cultivation and replenish the vitality of the fairy world?"
"Hahaha, I think you are an old fool." The ghost-faced old man in black was amused by his conclusion and burst into laughter: "The spiritual energy of Jiuzhou is thin, so is the spiritual energy of the immortal world infinite? Do you really think that those old people After ascending to the immortal world, this guy will kindly lead out immortal treasures for us to practice and ascend?"
"Even if you really have this idea, you can't guarantee that it's a good intention. Maybe, after they have absorbed it for thousands of years, the spiritual energy in the immortal world has long been scarce. It's just waiting for us people to ascend to the immortal world so that we can snatch it."
Based on the methods of the men in black, it is not difficult to see that the reason why their cultivation level can be improved rapidly and finally reach the realm of immortality is because they can use the mysterious technique to absorb the spiritual energy from other people's bodies, and then they can reach this level of cultivation step by step. of.
After all, over thousands of years, how many people have been able to cultivate the realm of immortality? For example, Elder Wu, Bei Pluto, High Priest, and Qinglian Headmaster all have astonishing talent. With the support of famous sects such as Lingjue Temple, it still took seventy or eighty years of hard work. achieve.
And North Pluto was able to cultivate to the realm of immortality by relying on the body of the toad. He may have used some despicable means to obtain Bi Luo's spiritual energy, and he was able to achieve his current achievements step by step.
Of course, as for what happened, whether it was as everyone expected or whether there was something hidden in it, it is all just a conjecture without confirmation. I'm afraid no one knows what happened.
The remaining two people, Qinglian Headmaster and High Priest, were originally spiritual consciousness condensed from the ancient artifact Bafangliantai. One is the high priest of the Jiuli tribe. There is no need to question that the two of them can cultivate to the realm of immortality.
"What you said makes some sense." The old man in black clothes with an animal face nodded. Their cultivation methods are not glorious. Of course, they will use their true intentions to guess the thoughts of those in the immortal world.
"But... what if the birth of the Immortal Treasure was not done by those in the Immortal Realm? What if... what if someone else did it deliberately above the Nine Provinces?"
"Do you think it's possible?" The old man in black on his right hand smiled again: "No matter who it is, if he really has this ability, how can he call them all out instead of secretly searching for them to improve his cultivation? Could it be that he would Selfless, are you waiting for us to find ways to improve our cultivation?"
"Haha, you are right. Maybe...maybe I am too careful." The old man in black on the left smiled mockingly to himself.
At this moment, the two of them felt something at the same time and turned their heads to look behind them. I saw Han Songqing, who had left earlier, come back and hurriedly came to the two of them and said: "Shangxian, the old man has sent someone to inform Wen Yuan. But seeing that Mu Jingyu and Bi Yun are extremely fast, I'm afraid I will work with my Han family members to intercept Wen Yuan first. Otherwise..."
When Han Songqing said this, he did not dare to say any more. He didn't say what he said next, but the two old men in black knew clearly that they wanted them to send people to go ahead and find Han Wenyuan before Mu Jingyu and Bi Yun, and protect his Zhou Quan.
"Okay." The ghost-faced old man in black nodded and said: "Your good nephew Han Wenyuan still doesn't know our plan. Once he encounters Mu Jingyu's obstruction, he will inevitably flee towards the Ice City in order to protect his own life. Come. If this happens, our plan will not be implemented."
The old man in black on his right hand said, turned to look at the old man in black beside him and said: "I would also like to trouble your four disciples to make a hard trip to report the news to Han Wenyuan. After meeting Mu Jingyu, don't be too busy The first is to escape back to Ice City, and the second is to lead them to the worship hall set up by the Han family, thirty miles southwest of Ice City."
"Yes." The old man in black on the left nodded. He did not have any verbal communication with the four men in black standing behind him. He just waved and they turned and walked down the city and disappeared into the crowd.
Han Songqing quickly bowed and thanked: "On behalf of all the disciples of the Han family and on behalf of my nephew Han Wenyuan, I thank the two immortals for their help."
"Okay, please step back first." The old man in black on his right hand waved his hand and said: "Don't forget your mission. If you hadn't led Mu Jingyu to the worship hall, or let them notice something strange in advance, But don’t blame me for ignoring my promise and causing the death of your Han family.”
The words of the old man in black on his right hand made Han Songqing break out in cold sweat. He nodded hurriedly and said, "Don't worry, you two immortals. Our Han family will definitely complete the task and we will definitely not dare to slack off." Han Songqing bowed and said, He walked backwards and left the city.
Today, the Han family, without the support of the Jiuli tribe, has offended all the righteous sects, and will be retaliated by them at any time. Fortunately, Han Songqing accidentally met two men in black and took refuge with them, leaving a way out for himself. Otherwise, it would be a matter of time before the Han family was destroyed.
"This Han Songqing, for the sake of his own safety, can no longer care about anything else. Haven't you ever thought that we are just using him?" The old man in black clothes with a beast face looked at Han Songqing's leaving back and sneered.
The ghost-faced old man in black said: "He is not very talented, but he is very ambitious. If Mu Jingyu hadn't been a hindrance, it would have been possible for the Han family to take advantage of the right treasure and gain in this battle."
"It's a pity, it's a pity, even if there is no Mu Jingyu, there are still the two of us behind." From the mouth of the old man in black on the left hand, it is not difficult to hear that the reason why they agreed to Han Songqing's request to temporarily shelter the entire Han family was just Because of Mu Jingyu, all previous strategies failed. Otherwise, even if the Jiuli tribe, under the leadership of Evil Thought Chi You, wipes out the entire Zhengdao and Yaoming Palaces, as well as the scattered cultivators in the world, they will act from behind, absorb all the spiritual energy of these people, and walk away through the void.
When the time comes, how will the Han family, which is attached to the Jiuli tribe, be spared? He must end up with the death of his entire clan.
The ghost-faced old man in black smiled and said: "However, Han Songqing's timely surrender gave you and me a chance. Mu Jingyu, as expected by Han Songqing, temporarily gave up his hand in order to help Yi Hong fulfill his regrets on his deathbed. Things have come to Ice City."
"Let's go." After seeing Han Songqing leave, the old man in black with the animal face was already gathering people to rush to the worship hall to set a trap. He said to the old man in black on his right hand: "It's time for us to leave. Those two spirits The aura of the pearl is powerful, and I don’t know how many people want to take it away secretly. Whether Mu Jingyu can successfully take it away is still unknown. We are not watching from the side. If someone else takes it away, your plan will be in vain."
The ghost-faced old man in black said, "What do you mean...are you going to go back and arrange manpower, and are you going to follow Mu Jingyu all the time?"
The old man in black clothes with an animal face said: "My manpower has been arranged a long time ago. There is no need to worry about it. Instead, I am worried about Mu Jingyu. After all, if he cannot get the spirit beads, his strength will not be improved. Then, you old man If you don't succeed in raising the pot, and then come back to compete with me for other people's spiritual energy, wouldn't I be turning against you?"
"Hahaha, you're right. Although the two of us are joining forces now, if we can't keep it together, we will fall out someday. Of course, I don't want such a day to happen."
Following the laughter of the ghost-faced old man in black, the two walked down the city wall together, looking for the place where Mu Jingyu and Bi Yun disappeared, falling far behind them.
Mu Jingyu and Bi Yun had already bypassed the Ice City, following the direction directed by the Incense Master of Wangxian Tower, and waited quietly at the place where Han Wenyuan returned, waiting for him to take the bait.
From dusk to dawn, Mu Jingyu and Bi Yun did not move. Just when Mu Jingyu thought that the information about the incense owner was wrong, Han Wenyuan led people back to Ice City from other places. I saw a group of men and horses running towards me from wherever I looked.
Mu Jingyu looked far away and saw clearly that the person in front was Han Wenyuan who looked tired. He must have seen the Ice City in the distance, thinking that there was no more danger, and his expression became much more relaxed.
After Mu Jingyu winked at Bi Yun, he moved from the tree crown where he was hiding to the other end of the official road, ready for a sneak attack.
Some people died, but not completely...
