"Jingyu, what happened? I seem to see that you... are a little absent-minded." Unlike Lilong's eagerness, Wuzi Lingzhu was much calmer and could tell that Mu Jingyu was not in a good state.
"It's nothing." Mu Jingyu tried his best to smile, and then told the story of why he was here.
Lilong asked: "Mu Jingyu, are you worried about someone sneaking up on you?"
"Grandpa Dragon King misunderstood. Although the man's cultivation was profound, I didn't feel it. He seemed to be a little worried and didn't want to really get rid of me. He just kept using spiritual energy to test my cultivation." While tracking Han Songqing. While waiting for the person, Mu Jingyu had already figured out the person's purpose.
"Since I don't want to get rid of you, we can't distinguish between ourselves and the enemy." Wuzi Lingzhu said: "Maybe... maybe he is Han Songqing's new backer, and he is an old acquaintance with you. Maybe he is promising Han Songqing. After requesting, I had to help him rescue Han Wenyuan."
"Oh my, what the old man Wu Zi said makes sense." Lilong looked at the aura of the two spirit beads, which had lost its previous momentum. He couldn't help but urge again: "Mu Jingyu, this time there are me and Old man Wuzi can help you. Don’t worry about the people who sneak up on you. They can keep you safe. If there is no trace of those two spirit beads, it will take a lot of effort for us to find them again."
"Jingyu, Grandpa Dragon King is right. If you don't...have no other concerns, let's go to the place that may be the worship hall and take a look."
In the end, Mu Jingyu didn't even say why he was uneasy. Because he knew that even if he said it, would the three of them believe it? After all, even he couldn't figure it out, let alone them.
"Okay." Mu Jingyu took a deep breath and looked at the two spirit beads that had soared into the sky. Most of their auras had dropped. Forcibly put away the uneasiness in my heart.
The grass floats and the giant trees sway. A ray of sword light passed by very quickly, leaving only a faint green shadow.
This time, Mu Jingyu's sword flew extremely fast. In the blink of an eye, he had crossed the previous path and saw several roof ridges exposed at the end of the path.
"The Han family's worship hall may be in front of you. Grandpa Dragon King, Senior Wu Zi, can you feel the auras of Han Songqing and others?" Mu Jingyu slowed down and asked.
Lilong flew out from Mu Jingyu's side, walked a few dozen feet ahead and made a circle, then returned to him and said, "Strange. If my perception is good, there is indeed Han Songqing and others here. The breath left behind by people. However, when they got here, their breath completely disappeared and did not enter inside."
"Did he disappear?" Mu Jingyu frowned and looked around and said, "Except for Han Songqing, can you find traces of anyone else?"
"No." Lilong shook his head and said, "Except for some weak breath inside, there is no other strong breath."
Bi Yun said: "Could it be that they sensed that we were coming and hid inside to set up an ambush?"
"It's impossible." Wu Zi Lingzhu said: "We know how strong Han Wenyuan's cultivation can be. Even if his uncle Han Songqing can hide his aura from us, those Han family disciples and Han Wenyuan can't. Want to hide it.”
Mu Jingyu said: "What if that person comes to help?"
When the three of them heard this, they fell into silence. According to what Mu Jingyu said before, the person who attacked was indeed very advanced. If he wanted to help, it was indeed possible.
"I said, we are already here, why are you so timid?" Lilong said dissatisfied: "The breath of the two spirit beads is almost gone. If you don't want to get them, just be afraid and hold back." "
Sure enough, the spiritual energy that was still dozens of feet high just now has become extremely thin. Only seven or eight feet tall, like a flame that is about to go out, it may disappear at any time.
"Let's go in and take a look." Mu Jingyu knew he couldn't wait any longer. The previous unfounded worry was completely replaced by the temptation of the two spirit beads. In addition, the responsibility of rescuing Yi Hong's parents was on his shoulders, and he immediately didn't have to worry about so much anymore.
Still on the treetop, an old man in black stood with his feet on it, without letting the thin branches bend at all.
In an open space under the tree, Han Songqing and Han Wenyuan's uncle and nephew stood respectfully together, with dozens of Han family disciples behind them. Everyone was silent, and even the horses beside them stopped neighing and seemed unusually quiet.
"Shangxian, I have lived up to your command and led Mu Jingyu here." Ever since Han Songqing led his people here, the ghost-faced old man in black just stared into the distance without even looking at them. One glance. As for the other old man in black clothes with an animal face, he disappeared.
"Yes." Hearing Han Songqing's flattering tone, the ghost-faced old man in black finally responded: "You did a good job. Now you can take your people and leave from the other direction. Remember, don't make any noise. , lure Mu Jingyu over. If something goes wrong...hem, you will all die here!"
"Yes, yes, don't worry, Immortal, I will ask them to be careful." Han Songqing grabbed Han Wenyuan's palm, stopped him from talking, and whispered: "Order them to follow me immediately."
"Uncle...nephew knows." Han Wenyuan saw the warning in Han Songqing's eyes and immediately changed his attitude. He waved to the Han family disciples to mount their horses, tried not to make any noise, and left from the other direction of the worship hall. .
Perhaps the ghost-faced old man in black used his own cultivation to help Han Songqing and others hide their auras so that Lilong didn't notice them. This time, if they left the worship hall from another direction, they would naturally not be noticed by Mu Jingyu and the others.
After they gradually moved seven or eight miles away from the worship hall and were sure that Mu Jingyu and others would not be disturbed, Han Songqing ordered them to speed up and gallop in the direction of Ice City.
"Uncle, what on earth is going on! How could you...how could you let the man in black help." Han Wenyuan, who had long been unable to hold back, asked impatiently.
"Besides taking refuge in the men in black, what other options do you have to face the future revenge of the righteous factions?" Han Songqing said with a long sigh.
"But...but these men in black have unknown origins and are ruthless. Our Han family has taken refuge with them. God knows whether it is a blessing or a curse." Han Wenyuan has been outside, running for the Jiuli tribe's plan, and has already heard about it. The deeds of the man in black.
"Let's take it one step at a time." Han Songqing said helplessly: "First, save the wealth and lives of our Han family disciples. As for what will happen in the future, when the time comes... well, there may be other solutions by then."
From the initial accusation to the silence now, Han Wenyuan didn't know the current situation of the Han family. I wanted to use the Jiuli tribe to achieve my own goals. However, several changes occurred during this period, and finally everything came to an end. Not only was the Jiuli tribe missing as a big backer, it also offended the entire righteous path.
If all the ancient immortal treasures in Kyushu had not appeared when the Immortal Sect disappeared, the situation that the Han family would have to face at this moment would be extremely dangerous than it is now.
"By the way, did Yao'er...really die in the temple?" After a moment of silence, Han Songqing asked what happened in the temple.
Han Wenyuan recounted the process in detail, and finally said with a mixture of annoyance and anger: "Uncle, if I had known that Han Yao had other agendas, I shouldn't have taken him to the temple to meet Chi You with evil intentions. Let’s meet. Let him take advantage of the opportunity and set up a trap to lure Mu Jingyu to the temple, and finally end up in this situation.”
On the way to escape, Han Wenyuan thought about it carefully. If Han Yao had not let Mu Jingyu in on his own initiative, Chi You with good intentions would not have had the chance to occupy his true body, and would eventually merge with Chi You with evil intentions.
Maybe all the current righteous sects and demons in Yaowei Palace would have been killed by him in the far north. Then does the Han family still have to face the current crisis?
"It's too late to say anything." Han Songqing said: "Yao'er is good at everything, but he is too confident. It's a pity, it's a pity. I wanted to train him carefully and lead the Han family to dominate the Nine Provinces in the future. Now... Haha, everything is over."
Han Wenyuan snorted coldly: "Humph, if we had known that today's situation would happen, we shouldn't have told him everything about our life experience."
Han Songqing waved his hand and said: "The reason why I told him in the first place was because of the ancient secret book? Without him as an only son, will Su Ci obediently give it to us?"
Han Wenyuan said angrily: "So what if I told you, Su Ci didn't give it to me? Why didn't it be passed to Han Yao so that he could have the opportunity to occupy the stone statues and the ferocious beast array, and use this ancient secret book to absorb the spiritual energy in it?" "
Han Songqing looked at the direction of the temple and said in a deep voice: "Although Yao'er and Suci were suppressed by Chi You in the temple, everyone thought they were dead. But no one went there to find out what happened. The mother and son...are not dead?"
"Impossible." Han Wenyuan interrupted: "Uncle, you were not here at that time, so you don't know how powerful Chi You is. Not to mention Han Yao and Su Ci, even Elder Wu and Bei Pluto were suppressed. , don’t even think about surviving.”
"I won't give up until I take a look in person."
"See? What do you think?" Han Wenyuan said: "The Jiuli tribe is already under the control of Jin Yingzi. Chi You also gave her eight ancient ferocious beasts for self-defense. Her position in the Jiuli tribe is as stable as Mount Tai. We want to move Others help or sneak in quietly, there is no chance."
"Hey." Han Songqing sighed again: "It seems that our pursuit of that ancient secret book may be in vain."
Han Wenyuan rolled his eyes and said: "Uncle, although Han Yao and Su Ci are dead, isn't there still one person who still holds the secret book? He is imprisoned in the dungeon and must not know what happened in Kyushu. As long as we... ..." Han Wenyuan said, whispering in Han Songqing's ear and then said: "When the ancient secret book is obtained, I will kill him."
Han Songqing nodded slightly while listening: "We can try the plan you mentioned. Our top priority is still on Mu Jingyu." Han Songqing said and looked away, then turned to look at the worship hall: "Don't give him to him Get rid of it, it’s still a hidden danger.”
"Uncle, what do you have to worry about?" Han Wenyuan didn't care: "You always did things so flawlessly that no one would notice. Besides, uncle's identity..."
"Shut up!" Han Songqing suddenly yelled. At the same time, he turned around and looked around. He found that the Han family disciples were still following far behind, so he lowered his voice and said, "Only you and I know about this matter now. If If others notice it, let alone get the ancient secret book, we don’t even know how we died!”
Han Wenyuan felt a tremor all over, knowing that he was so complacent that he said something he shouldn't have said: "Uncle, my nephew was careless."
Han Songqing said earnestly: "As for that person, you have to let me know it till the end of your stomach. Don't mention it at any time. As for Mu Jingyu... it's better to get rid of it as soon as possible. Keep it, sooner or later." Something went wrong.”
"Uncle, I think the man in black doesn't want to get rid of Mu Jingyu just yet. If we do it, I'm afraid he will be dissatisfied."
"Just because you don't want to get rid of it now doesn't mean you don't want to get rid of it in the future." Han Songqing laughed pitifully twice, and then said sternly: "We don't need to worry about the matters in the worship hall. Whether it's Mu Jingyu rescuing Yi Whether Hong's family or they get the immortal treasure buried in the worship hall, they are destined to have no chance with us. After you go back, immediately contact the people to see if you can go deep into the temple to confirm whether Yao'er and Suci are dead. "
Han Songqing thought for a while and then said: "Also, although we know the place where Han Yao's biological father was imprisoned, the specific location is not yet clear. You also let them explore together and try to determine the location as soon as possible so that we can start the rescue. .”
Now that we have the men in black as our backers, no matter how long we can rely on them, they will keep the Han family safe for the time being anyway. For the sake of the future, Han Songqing immediately arranged for Han Wenyuan to consider future countermeasures.
"Nephew, I understand." Han Wenyuan responded and saw the Ice City looking back from a distance. He immediately ordered his men to speed up and rush back to the city to carry out Han Songqing's instructions.
Some people died, but not completely...
