In the distance, a snow-white sword light finally forced the black shadow back.
Murong Yun flew to the side of the two women and looked at the stopped figure.
Only the chin was exposed on Gu Ci's face under the hood. He glanced at Murong Yun and chuckled, "Did you discover us in advance?"
I didn't realize it before, but Murong Yun's extremely quick reaction and the departure of the two women all confirmed that Murong Yun might have discovered them in advance.
Murong Yun said coldly: "As one of the ten great families, the Gu family openly violated the Taishi covenant. Doesn't it seem a little inappropriate?"
The situation seemed to have formed a certain balance, with Mu Qing versus Shang Gu Yuan and Murong Yun versus Shang Gu Ci.
Huaifenghua and Murong Jing were standing behind Murong Yun, as if they could leave at any time.
But both Murong Yun and Mu Qing believed that if the two women tried to leave at this time, not only would it be difficult to successfully do so, but it would also accelerate the deterioration of the situation.
Gu Yan never showed up, and this invisibility put a lot of pressure on Mu Qing and Murong Yun.
Gu Ci asked: "Are you Murong Yun? The current head of the Murong family?"
Murong Yun responded silently.
Gu Ci said: "Sometimes words are not important, but since you brought it up, I don't mind saying a few more words."
"The Taishi Covenant was indeed signed by ten families. The covenant is clearly stipulated. If there is a conflict between these families and forces that participated in the signing ceremony in the future, they can decide on their own."
Gu Ci smiled and said: "Your Murong family was considered a first-class power in the mainland hundreds of years ago. I remember that you participated in this ceremony. It is not within the scope of the agreed protection."
This answer was a bit humiliating to Murong Yun, the head of the family.
If there weren't two women behind him, he would have probably rushed over.
Murong Yun narrowed his eyes and said coldly: "My Murong family has long existed in name only, and now we are just a member of Hidden Valley."
"Hidden Valley is located in the south of the country. If it can be considered a first-rate power in your eyes, this is our honor."
Gu Ci's eyes flashed with disdain.
The Taishi Covenant does indeed protect the secular dynasty and those unconventional forces in writing, but after so many years, who doesn’t know that it only works when facing the same level of forces, and even if there is really a stake in it of conflict, this covenant can become the last thing at any time.
If it weren't for the signs that Gu Yan hadn't been able to see clearly, he wouldn't be talking about these nutritious nonsense here.
He had decided to use thunderous means immediately after confirming that Murong Yun had no back-up plan.
At this moment of stalemate, Murong Yun also understood that the only chance to break the situation might be Gu Yuan.
While he was mentally calculating the possibility of directly capturing Gu Yuan with Mu Qing, he said seriously: "I don't know what the price Baidi spent. If possible, we can sit down and talk."
"Sit down and talk?"
Gu Ci's eyes moved slightly.
They would agree to Bai Di's request. In fact, they had a hidden purpose, which was to collect valuable things from the Murong family.
A family that has existed for more than 800 years actually corresponds to the saying "a skinny camel is bigger than a horse".
Mu Qing also flew to Murong Yun's side at this time and stood side by side with Murong Yun.
Gu Yuan did not stop him, but followed him with interest.
Gu Ci glanced at Gu Yuan in surprise. In his impression, Gu Yuan only wanted to have a good fight at this time. How could he restrain his ferocity at this time? Is it because of Mu Qing?
Gu Ci's eyes swept over Mu Qing, focusing on the Demon Suppressing Sword. He looked at Murong Yun and smiled: "You are not weak now. At least you are qualified to talk to us. Since you have If the article has been exposed, then we should show sincerity as soon as possible."
Murong Yun raised his eyebrows: "What did Bai Di take out?"
"A complete spiritual vein is still of earth attribute."
Mu Qing glanced at Gu Yuan who was speaking.
He had no specific impression of the value of spiritual veins, but he had some guesses about what Gu Yuan said next. When Gu Yuan was dodging Murong Yun's sword energy just now, his body suddenly rose a few inches, and he resisted with his physical body. He took out his sword, which is similar to practicing earth attribute skills.
"We definitely don't have a complete spiritual vein."
Murong Yun shook his head and quietly sent a message to Mu Qing: "Let's capture this young man together."
Mu Qing's expression remained unchanged as he replied: "Their most powerful one hasn't come out yet, and they haven't played any of their trump cards. They barely play. You protect them and leave."
Gu Ci's eyes suddenly became sharp: "It's a bit child's play to do the trick of transmitting secret messages in front of your face."
Although Gu Ci didn't know what the two talked about specifically, he was naturally sensitive to this kind of action as he had experienced too many things.
Murong Yun smiled and said, "Didn't I discuss with him what valuable things we each have?"
Gu Ci narrowed his eyes: "I heard that when you fled here, you took a set of holy weapons with you?"
Murong Yun shook his head: "It's a pity that we don't have enough resources and failed to properly cultivate this set of holy weapons. Now they are just fake holy weapons."
Mu Qing glanced at Murong Yun in surprise, he guessed what the set of holy weapons were.
Murong Yun flipped his wrist, and a transparent mask appeared in his hand. Murong Jing's eyes were also drawn to it, because a red mask appeared after the transparent mask.
The mask even let out a trembling cry of joy after sensing her breath.
Gu Ci nodded: "Is this the Five Mysterious Masks? Are the other three still worn by others?"
Murong Yun's eyes flashed with sadness. This mask had not been named by anyone for many years, because it was a story that belonged to that time.
He looked at Gu Ci: "With the ability of the Gu family, if you take care of yourself for at most one year, you can regain the level of a holy soldier. If I use this in exchange for your leaving, is that okay?"
A set of holy weapons or a spiritual vein, who is more valuable?
Gu Ci looked into Murong Yun's eyes. Murong Yun's eyes were calm and seemed to be full of sincerity.
Gu Ci was silent for a moment, shook his head and said: "If it is a critical moment of survival and surrounded by enemies, such a holy weapon is definitely more valuable than a spiritual vein that has yet to be mined. It is a pity."
"Yes." Murong Yun nodded, but that was not enough. He asked directly: "Then what do you want? You can tell me."
They came here originally to steal some things from the Murong family, but now they were targeted in advance.
Gu Ci's original impatient thoughts receded, and he smiled and looked unusually kind: "I heard that your Murong family has a forbidden place, and there are some inheritances left in it that can be used to understand the transformation into mortals?"
Murong Yun raised his eyebrows, looking a little strange.
Gu Ci said: "What? It seems that the head of the Murong family is still unwilling to show sincerity?"
Murong Yun shook his head and said: "Without my Murong bloodline, it is impossible to obtain those inheritances."
"Oh? That's it."
Gu Ci's eyes lit up.
Murong Yun's face was slightly cold: "I have shown my sincerity, but you seem to have been playing tricks on me."
He flipped his wrist, and the "Suzaku" from his palm flew towards Murong Jing in an instant. At the same time, a scarlet light rushed up.
Suzaku Thorn.
After parting ways with Murong Yin, just a few days later, these two magic weapons returned to her hands.
Murong Jing's eyes moved slightly. After catching the two magic weapons, she put away the mask and held the short thorn in her hand.
"Ah."
Gu Yuan squinted at Murong Jing: "Why did you make this decision in the end? Since you are resisting, make the best preparations. I can make the decision and let you call all the helpers you can, so as not to die when the time comes. I still feel wronged.”
Mu Qing found that this guy sometimes looked a lot like Murong Xiuming. Although his strength and talent were much better than Murong Xiuming's, he looked like he was the boss and he was the second child, but he had a somewhat similar temperament.
So he blurted out and asked: "The head of the Gu family is your father, right?"
Gu Yuan was stunned, and even Gu Ci also cast his gaze on Mu Qing's face.
Mu Qing knew that he had guessed right when he saw the two people's reactions. He shrugged nonchalantly: "You look a bit like a guy named Murong Xiu Ming. It's easy to guess."
The corner of Murong Yun's mouth moved, and he looked at Gu Yuan and said, "I haven't found the rightful owner. I wonder what the young master should be called?"
Although the people from the Gu family were unkind, Murong Yun greeted them politely for the sake of the head of the Gu family.
Gu Yuan said calmly: "Gu Yuan."
Murong Yun nodded: "Well, a single spiritual vein is worth the young master of the Gu family personally taking action. It seems that your life is not easy."
Gu Yuan's eyes moved and he stared at Murong Yun motionless.
Murong Yun smiled calmly: "I am willing to show my sincerity, but you keep hiding this person? If you really want to talk, why doesn't the person hiding in the dark come out?"
Gu Ci chuckled, and handed the magic weapon to Gu Yan after he died. So what if Murong Yun guessed the existence of Gu Yan, he believed that Murong Yun could not find Gu Yan at all.
He said slowly: "This does not affect our one-time negotiation. You must know that the relationship between Bai Emperor and our family head has always been very good. If you want us to go back without doing anything, you have to spend at least three times the amount of the spirit." Pulse stuff.”
Gu Ci felt that this trial was coming to an end. After all, they did not like the Murong family's cultivation techniques. A set of holy weapons and some inheritance that could lead to mortal transformation were almost the only remaining assets of Murong Yun's family.
Mu Qing had actually been communicating with Meng Zhang during the stalemate between Murong Yun and Gu Ci.
"Are you sure you want this?"
"Do I have any other options now? I understand a little bit about the whirlpool you are talking about. This is really not a problem. I can solve it one by one."
"If you let go of your body, it won't be better than the person hiding in the dark, but it won't be a problem to hold it off, but you have to think about it. In your current state, the longer it lasts, the longer it will take to recover. .”
Mu Qing has now broken through the early stage of transcendence. He has not only understood the true meaning of Shura, but also walked out of his own way. If he just wanted to use the familiar method to borrow strength, it would only reach the threshold of transcendence. He could only consider letting go of his body and completely handing it over to Meng Zhang.
In fact, even if he was facing the enemy side by side with Murong Yun, he still habitually considered himself in an isolated and helpless situation.
By doing this, he actually invisibly increased the error-tolerance probability of some decisions.
Mu Qing remembered the first time he asked Meng Zhang for help. That time he seemed to have slept for several days, right?
But after that, his endurance became stronger and stronger. Does this mean that his and Meng Zhang's strengths are actually quite matched.
"You are right. You are an innate wood source body, so it is normal for you to match my power."
Mu Qing had a calm mind and promised seriously: "Don't worry, I will collect the power of luck for you when this matter is over."
Meng Zhang did not respond, but Mu Qing felt that the power flowing in his body was invisibly stronger. It seemed that as he and Meng Zhang became more and more tacit, the power Meng Zhang lent him from a distant and unknown place also became His same.
Perhaps because of facing difficult troubles one after another, Mu Qing's mentality became much more tenacious and energetic.
He could vaguely guess that when Meng Zhang needed him, it might be the most difficult time, but Meng Zhang had saved him many times, so even if that day came early, he would not flinch at all. .
"It's better not to show off your secret skills and skills that you can't even practice to be extraordinary."
Gu Yuan's mocking voice attracted Mu Qing's attention.
He glanced at Mu Qing lightly: "I have a few very simple requests. If you agree, I can make the decision to let you go."
