Early the next morning, Su Ze and Brother Ya said goodbye to Aunt Yun and Liu Wenyin, and set out for the Miracle Oasis.
The Miracle Oasis was originally located at the junction of Dongli and Luofan, so they just turned a corner.
Su Ze had thought about whether to leave some of the treasures on his body that he would not use for the time being, such as two tubes of sixth-level extracts, etc., for Liu Wenyin and Aunt Yun to keep for now. In case he could not come back, it would be better than being cheap. Shepherd King.
But then I thought, fuck it!
With the aura of a time traveler attached to me, it is impossible for me to die!
So he set off with all his belongings.
Not far out of the villa, the two met a group of students from Dongli University. These students couldn't help but scream when they saw Su Ze and Brother Ya.
"Ah! Su Ze! It's Su Ze!"
"Husband, sign it!"
"Yalga, it's Yalga! Shovel Assassin!"
"Brother Ya, the kidney-cutting guest! A role model for our generation!"
A group of students gathered around to ask for autographs and take photos. It was obvious that the people surrounding Su Ze were all female fans, while Brother Ya was surrounded by a group of male students with admiration in their eyes.
If it were other patron saints of Dongli, these students would never be so bold. After all, the patron saints are the top leaders of Dongli.
However, because Su Ze and Brother Ya were young and were classmates in the same school with them, they seemed not so unattainable.
Brother Ya was depressed, why is it that he is already a saint and doesn't have any female fans?
Seeing more and more students coming around, Brother Ya took Su Ze and fled underground.
After Ya Ge became a saint, his driving speed increased sharply, and he took Su Ze all the way to the outside of the Miracle Oasis.
Compared with the cautiousness when they first came to Miracle Oasis, now that the two of them entered the inner circle of Miracle Oasis, they felt as familiar as returning to their own home.
"Mother Tree, I rely on you to save my life this time." Su Ze said pitifully.
The mother tree sent a message: "I am rooted here, unable to move, and unable to reach things thousands of miles away. If you can lure the enemy to the miraculous oasis, I may be able to help you."
"Then why you called me here this time..."
Several vines spread from nowhere and moved quickly, arriving in front of Su Ze.
Su Ze took a closer look and saw that a black thing was wrapped around the end of each vine. The vines placed the black thing on the grass in front of Su Ze and then retreated.
There were three groups of dark things, each about the same size and shape as an olive, but the color was as black as ink, with a somewhat illusory feel.
"This is the Shadow Fruit. There is a nickname in the universe called 'Assassin Fruit'. I exchanged it from a sixth-level spiritual plant in the spacecraft breeding room." The mother tree said, "After taking the Shadow Fruit, it will converge. All the energy fluctuations in your body prevent others from sensing your existence using perception skills and mental power, and the effect can last for twelve hours."
Good stuff... Su Ze quickly collected the three shadow fruits. With these fruits, they didn't have to worry about being discovered by the Holy Envoy when they entered the capital of the Pastoral Kingdom.
"That's all I can help you with," the mother tree said.
"Thank you. I will try my best to come back alive and not let your investment go to waste."
Su Ze did not stay at the Miracle Oasis longer. After taking the Shadow Fruit, the two left.
Next stop, Luo Fanguo!
After a simple disguise, the two headed towards Luo Fanguo.
The closer he got to Luo Fan, the less peaceful his heart became, and his hands were trembling slightly.
This is the first time he has returned to his hometown since he left Luo Fan with Su Ze.
With the strength of the two of them, they easily crossed the Luo Fan Kingdom's border defense line without alerting anyone.
Su Ze handed a shadow fruit to Brother Ya and said, "Take it when you get to the capital of Luo Fan Kingdom."
With this fruit, Ya Ge will not be noticed by the Luo Fan Holy Envoy, and can calmly enter the capital of the Luo Fan Kingdom to take revenge. As long as he does not kill people in public with great fanfare, he will not be discovered if he is a little careful.
Originally, Su Ze had thought of creating a border conflict and attracting the Holy Envoy Luo Fan to divert the tiger away from the mountain and create opportunities for Brother Ya. With the existence of the Shadow Fruit, there was no need to do this.
…
That night, Su Ze and Brother Ya came to a small town outside Mori City, the capital of Luofan Kingdom.
The two of them agreed that Brother Ya would enter Mori City tonight to find the two siblings Mo Sammoni and take revenge, and Su Ze would be waiting for him here.
It is not difficult for Brother Ya to assassinate an extraordinary evolver like Mo Sammoni, and he does not need Su Ze's help. If Su Ze follows, he will increase the risk of exposure.
"Go." Su Ze saw the urgency in Brother Ya's heart and patted him on the shoulder, "If you need anything, please contact me."
Brother Ya nodded, took the shadow fruit, and then disappeared from the place with an earth escape.
Su Ze tried to use his "Eye of Reality" skill to capture Ya Ge's location, but found nothing. After taking the Shadow Fruit, Ya Ge completely restrained the mental and energy fluctuations in his body.
After seeing the effect of the shadow fruit in person, Su Ze felt more at ease. He went to a hotel in the small town and booked a room.
Not that he was sleeping, it was just weird standing outside like a homeless man and he needed a quiet place to think.
Brother Ya has taken revenge tonight, and tomorrow they will go to Mu Kingdom and face Mu King.
He needed to clear his mind and make final preparations.
He first called Chen Suifeng: "Brother Feng, we will arrive in Muguo tomorrow."
Chen Suifeng said: "Okay, then I will go to Mu Country on a business trip tomorrow. You wait until I arrive before taking action."
Su Ze agreed and hung up the phone.
Then he made plans for tomorrow, thinking about the problems and dangers he might encounter.
This time he went to Mu Kingdom to find the remaining blood crystals to supplement the "Evolution God's Grace", rather than to fight with the Mu King.
But he had an intuition that this journey would not be so smooth and would be blocked by the Shepherd King.
It would be best if he could successfully find the remaining blood crystals without conflict with the Shepherd King.
"If you want to find the remaining blood crystals, you have to follow the clue of Zhao Lingxiao's body, but I don't have that much time to start from the beginning..."
The shadow fruit can only be effective for twelve hours. Even if Chen Suifeng helps him, it won't be delayed for long. He doesn't have time to investigate slowly.
However, Zhao Yuanyi had investigated this matter before, and he could go directly to Zhao Yuanyi's investigation results.
Qu Jianbai...this is a key figure!
As the chief judge of the Mu Kingdom and Zhao Yuanyi's teacher, he should know something.
Su Ze plans to visit this person.
There is also Secretary Wang. I don’t know if he is still alive...most likely dead.
"Find Qu Jianbai first. If nothing is gained, then trace Zhao Lingxiao's body..."
Su Ze made a preliminary plan, but the plan could never keep up with changes and had to wait for tomorrow to adapt accordingly.
"I don't know if the foreign object in my soul is caused by King Mu, so I have to guard against it!"
Su Ze didn't doubt King Mu before, mainly because he always felt that King Mu had not been taken away by aliens.
But now various clues make him more and more suspicious, is the Mu King still not the Mu King?
The mother tree guessed that the foreign objects in the soul were parasitic soul eggs, which had the function of soul parasitism.
If it was really a parasitic soul egg, and it was the work of King Mu, how should he deal with it?
Su Ze thought for a moment, and after a moment, he poured all the items in his storage items onto the bed.
The double bed in the hotel was suddenly full, especially Su Ze's headless clone, which took up a lot of space.
This clone is no longer of much use to him now, but he still carries it with him.
Except for the headless clone, the rest of the things on the bed are extremely high-grade evolutionary items, enough to make any overlord or even the supreme heart flutter.
Just three tubes of extract are worth a fortune, one tube of fifth-level extract and two tubes of sixth-level extract.
The strange items include: the third-level strange item Variety Mask, the fourth-level strange item Crystal Sword, Tumbleweed, and Charming Fox Tail, and the fifth-level strange item Flower of Despair comes with two self-destruct seeds.
The natural medicines include two shadow fruits, one earth potato, and some other miscellaneous medicines.
A treasure of unknown grade, a drop of the original liquid of evolution, and a jade stone containing the remnant soul of the Nian clan’s god.
"Can these things help me?"
Su Ze fell into deep thought.
…
Brother Ya did not return home all night, and did not return to the town until the early morning of the next day, when it was already dark.
"I went to pay homage to my parents, which wasted a little time." He said, with complex expressions on his face, including happiness and sadness, but mostly relief.
From his body, Su Ze smelled a strong smell of blood. It seemed that there were many people killed last night.
The great hatred that had been weighing in his heart for many years was finally avenged!
"It's okay, don't worry, have all the people been killed?" Su Ze asked.
Brother Ya nodded: "Ever since they found out that I had become the overlord, the two siblings of Mo Sammoni have been hiding in the capital and have not dared to go out. It is convenient for me. I also asked for the list of those who participated in the murder of my father. , I have killed several of the main messengers, and there are still a few lackeys who are not in the capital, I will look for them slowly in the future."
"Okay, when we come back from Mu Country, I will help you look for it together."
A smile appeared on Brother Ya's dark face: "Brother, thank you, you have helped me a lot. Without you, I may not have a chance to take revenge in this life."
"What are you talking about? You have saved me many times." Su Ze said, "Go take a shower and change clothes. I can smell your bloody smell from two miles away."
…
Muguo, Qinggu City.
capital Airport.
Several big names who often appear on TV are gathering together, waiting for someone to arrive.
The people who picked up the plane were all top leaders of various departments in the country, and even included the three patron saints of the country.
"Coming!" someone said.
"Minister Chen is here!"
Everyone looked up and saw a ridiculously handsome young man walking towards them.
The three patron saints of Mu Country hurriedly greeted him and said respectfully: "Welcome Minister Chen to visit our Mu Country for inspection and guidance."
Chen Suifeng had a straight face, nodded without a smile, and asked, "Where is the Shepherd King?"
"King Mu, he has something to do today and cannot come to greet you in person. He asked me to convey my apology to you."
"It doesn't matter." Chen Suifeng said, "Take me to see Envoy Song first. He and I haven't seen each other for many years. It's a rare opportunity to catch up on old times."
…
Just when Chen Suifeng arrived in Muguo with great fanfare, Su Ze and Ya Ge swallowed the shadow fruit and sneaked into Qinggu City quietly like two shadows.
Originally, Su Ze planned to visit Qu Jianbai immediately, but the chief judge went to greet Chen Suifeng, and he would probably have to entertain Chen Suifeng for lunch before going back.
So he went to Zhao's house first.
The Zhao family's residence is deserted and quiet. People used to come and go, but now there is not a soul in sight.
The green plants within the courtyard walls were untrimmed and grew wildly. The ground was covered with fallen leaves. It looked like no one had been here for a long time.
All the doors were sealed and locked, but it was not a problem for the saint-level powerhouses. Su Ze and Brother Ya sneaked in easily.
Su Ze used the "Eye of Truth" to spread his sensory tentacles throughout the Zhao family manor, searching for useful information.
The Zhao family has fallen. After Zhao Yuanyi's death, he was charged with a series of charges, including abuse of power, dereliction of duty, corruption and bribery, and forming cliques for personal gain...
Not a single crime was framed against him.
The cause of his death was determined to be suicide due to fear of crime.
Su Ze quickly searched the entire Zhao family manor with his sensory tentacles, but found nothing.
Then he went straight to the hall on the first floor of the main house, pushed away a statue in the living room, punched the floor hard, and made a big hole.
"Is there an underground secret room here?" Brother Ya asked in surprise.
Su Ze nodded: "The outside of the secret room is coated with a layer of material that isolates spiritual power. Most people can't find it at all. There are only a handful of people in the Zhao family who know about this secret room."
The entrance to this secret room can be opened with a password, but Su Ze suspected that Zhao Yuanyi might have changed the password, so he simply opened the door violently.
After making a big hole, Su Ze did not jump into the secret room, but directly used his sensory tentacles to probe into the secret room, and all the situations inside immediately appeared in his mind.
This place had obviously been ransacked, and all the valuables had been moved away. I don’t know whether it was done by someone sent by the Shepherd King or by the Zhao family themselves.
In the entire secret room, apart from some tables, chairs and cabinets, only a few photos on the wall were still there.
Those are all photos of Zhao Lingxiao, from childhood to adulthood...
Su Ze frowned, and he noticed something was wrong.
Zhao Yuanyi has some obsessive-compulsive disorder. He usually arranges these photos in chronological order, but now the order of these photos is out of order!
on purpose? Or did someone else mess up the order of these photos?
No one should be so boring, which means this may be some message left by Zhao Yuanyi...
Su Ze tried to number these photos using the original order, and then inserted them into the current order, and got a series of numbers.
This is... a phone number?
Su Ze was not sure either and decided to give it a try.
He dialed what appeared to be a phone number.
The call got through and it rang several times before the person answered.
"Who?" asked the voice on the other end of the phone.
Su Ze felt that the voice was familiar, so he didn't answer in a hurry.
"Master?" the voice asked tentatively.
"I'm not your young master. Zhao Lingxiao has been dead a long time ago." Su Ze finally said.
When the person on the other end of the phone heard Su Ze's voice, he breathed a sigh of relief and said, "The Zhao family is gone. It doesn't matter whether you are a real young master or a fake young master. The master has left something for you, if you want it." , just go to the storage cabinet No. 3 at the east gate of Qinggu Mall to pick it up. The password is..."
Su Ze wrote down what the other party said, and also noticed that he called Zhao Yuanyi "master". Generally, Zhao Yuanyi's subordinates would call him "minister", while people in the Zhao family would call him "head" or "master" .
The only people who called him "master" were the few dead soldiers Zhao Yuanyi secretly trained.
Their strength may not be as strong as Zhang Fantie, and they are basically cocoon-stage evolvers, but they are loyal and only obey Zhao Yuanyi's orders, and they always hide in the dark and do shady work for Zhao Yuanyi.
Even Zhao Lingxiao had not had much contact with those dead soldiers and had only seen them a few times.
Su Ze asked: "Did Zhao Yuanyi tell you anything before he died?"
"The last time the master contacted me, he told me that you might contact me at this number and asked me to tell you the information just now. Shortly after that, I heard the news of the master's death." The voice on the other end of the phone paused. After a pause, he continued, "I suspect that the master may have been under surveillance afterwards, so he did not dare to contact me again to avoid exposing me."
Seeing that he couldn't get any more information, Su Ze hung up the phone and immediately rushed to Qinggu Mall with Brother Ya.
Qinggu Shopping Mall is the largest and most prosperous shopping mall in Qinggu City, the capital city. There is a constant flow of people. Su Ze and Brother Ya have both disguised themselves and are inconspicuous in the crowd.
Su Ze found storage cabinet No. 3, sensed that the tentacles were radiating out, and confirmed that there was no ambush around him. Then he went forward, entered the password given by the Zhao family's dead man, and successfully opened the cabinet.
There was only a file bag in the cabinet and nothing else.
Su Ze raised his hand to put the document bag into the storage ring, and immediately left the storage cabinet with Brother Ya. They didn't run far, so they found a cafe in the mall and asked for a private room.
Su Ze opened the document bag and found a notebook inside. He opened the first page and saw two photos posted on it.
On the left is a photo cut out from a newspaper. It shows King Mu as a boy. At that time, he was enrolled in the Royal Academy of Mu. As the crown prince, he attracted much attention and was signing autographs for female classmates who admired him.
The photo on the right was printed from an online picture. Five years ago, the Kingdom of Mu Kingdom experienced a natural disaster. The King of Mu Kingdom went to the scene to comfort the victims and wrote an inscription on a plaque.
The two photos are fine when viewed individually, but when viewed together, it is not difficult to find that the young shepherd king holds the pen with his left hand, while the middle-aged male shepherd king writes the inscription on the spot with his right hand.
Zhao Yuanyi noted: "I'm afraid not many people remember that King Mu was left-handed when he was a boy."
Further on, there are eight or nine sets of photos, comparing the differences between the young Shepherd King and the current Shepherd King.
Seeing this, Su Ze already understood that the Shepherd King had really been taken away!
Moreover, Zhao Yuanyi accidentally discovered this and was silenced by King Mu.
Looking through these sets of photos, there are some text content behind them, or Zhao Yuanyi's diary.
As far as Su Ze knew, Zhao Yuanyi probably didn't have the habit of writing a diary because he had nothing to write about.
If he writes about everything, his diary might one day become evidence against him, so Zhao Yuanyi always keeps everything in mind.
The diary in this notebook seems to have been added later. Zhao Yuanyi wrote down the process of tracking down Zhao Lingxiao's body in chronological order. It feels like it was written specifically for Su Ze.
The story begins with the first time Su Ze appeared in public, which was more than half a year ago. Su Ze represented Dong Li in the Judgment Battle and won with an overwhelming advantage, thus becoming famous.
Zhao Yuanyi was worried that Su Ze's appearance would expose his use of clones as a scapegoat, which would incur the revenge of King Mu. For this reason, he specifically sought asylum from Qu Jianbai.
In the end, everything was calm, and the Shepherd King seemed not to know about it.
He felt something was wrong at that time, and the previous warden of Panshi Prison died suddenly and suddenly during that time. He felt that this was no coincidence.
Later, he learned a lot of information about blood crystals from Feng Boyi, which gave him many guesses.
So, he began to secretly investigate the whereabouts of Zhao Lingxiao's body, and sure enough, he got some information from a close aide of the former warden of Panshi Prison.
When the warden of Panshi Prison said that Zhao Lingxiao's body would be cremated, it was actually a lie. The ashes he handed over to Zhao Yuanyi were not Zhao Lingxiao's at all.
The warden of Panshi Prison wanted to keep Zhao Lingxiao's body as a handle to blackmail Zhao Yuanyi in the future.
In the diary, Zhao Yuanyi speculated that the murder of the warden of Panshi Prison must be related to Zhao Lingxiao's body.
You must know that there were blood crystals in Zhao Lingxiao's body at that time. According to the characteristics of blood crystals, after Zhao Lingxiao's death, blood crystals will precipitate from his body.
Because the blood crystal energy in Zhao Lingxiao's body is incomplete, an incomplete blood crystal should be precipitated.
According to the normal development of things, this blood crystal will fall into the hands of the warden of Panshi Prison. Zhao Yuanyi guessed that this might be the reason why King Mu killed the warden.
Su Ze estimated that it might not be that simple. He and Zhao Lingxiao both had blood crystals in their bodies, and King Mu didn't care. It seemed that he didn't care if the blood crystals fell into other people's hands or were absorbed by others.
He continued to look at the next page of his notebook, which stated that Zhao Yuanyi's various investigations revealed that the warden of Panshi Prison had many contacts with people from Evolutionary Technology before his death.
"Does he want to sell the blood crystals to evolutionary technology?" Su Ze suddenly figured out all the joints.
A incomplete blood crystal with an absorption threshold is useless in the hands of the warden of Panshi Prison. It must be worth more when sold.
The Mu King obviously doesn't want to see this happen. As long as the blood crystal is in Mu Country, he doesn't care so much in whose hands it is, but if it is to be traded to other countries and out of his sight and control, he will intervene. .
So the warden of Panshi Prison died, and his deal with Evolution Technology was naturally interrupted.
"From this point of view, there is a high probability that the remaining blood crystals are in the hands of King Mu."
The Shepherd King killed the warden of Panshi Prison, so it was naturally impossible for him to throw away the blood crystal. He must have kept it in his hand as bait, waiting for Su Ze to take the bait.
Su Ze frowned. Sure enough, he still couldn't avoid it and faced the Mu Wang.
