At the edge of the dense forest, Lingshuzi returned to the hillside and saw that Mu Qing had been unable to activate the formation. He was about to speak when he suddenly felt something in his heart and turned around to look in the direction of Firestone City.
Almost at the same time, the token in his sleeve to keep in touch with the Phantom Spirit Sect burst out with bursts of light. It was his disciple who was sending a message to him, but Ling Shuzi no longer needed to receive the message and only knew what was going on. .
"Ouch~"
With a dragon's roar that resounded throughout the world, the earth began to tremble, and the continuous green forest turned into turbulent blue waves.
At the end of Lingshuzi's sight, a turbulent golden wave rose from the ground of Firestone City and rushed in his direction without any hesitation.
Lingshuzi stood up from the ground, and from the air he could see more clearly how harmful the energy wave was.
As it swept over, it devoured everything along the way - the earth began to split, huge ravines appeared, and the vegetation along the way was torn into pieces. In the end, the flying sand and rocks turned into a fire that stretched for nearly a hundred feet. A huge storm swept across.
Seeing the storm that swept everything approaching, Lingshuzi exclaimed, and then he realized what he was doing and looked at Mu Qing above the forest sea.
At some point, Mu Qing stopped making gestures with his hands and stood in the air.
If it weren't for the mysterious ripples on his body, Lingshuzi still couldn't be sure that Mu Qing was the cause of this sweeping storm.
Lingshuzi immediately shouted to Mu Qing: "City Lord! This storm will destroy this place, and even the obstacle elimination array..."
Lingshuzi suddenly stopped because he discovered that if the continuous dense forest in front of him was uprooted in pieces, he could also find Gu Yinghe hidden in it.
Is it just that Mu Qing is already so angry now?
Lingshuzi retreated a little further, while contacting the people from the Phantom Sect, he carefully watched Mu Qing's every move.
"boom--"
Without taking a breath, the storm spread to the edge of the dense forest. Mu Qing glanced at the forest sea that was shaking more violently under his feet, and shouted softly: "Get up!"
Almost at the same time as Mu Qing's words sounded, the golden air waves in the storm gathered together, like a golden dragon rushing towards Mu Qing first, and finally surrounding Mu Qing.
Mu Qing stood alone at the dragon's head. With a thought, everything in the storm was wrapped up and thrown into the obstacle elimination array in front of him.
With such a huge amount of power from heaven and earth pouring into it, the obstacle elimination formation covered the dense forest with a radius of more than ten miles almost instantly. A burst of cyan mysterious light covered the forest sea like mist, and the forest trees that were shaking before were instantly quiet. down.
Mu Qing stood on the blue light, took out the life card, and was silent for a moment before activating the aura on the life card. As a red light shot into the mysterious light, the mysterious light that had previously enveloped the entire dense forest suddenly shrank and shrouded. After a few breaths, only an area not far from Mu Qing's body was left.
The cyan mysterious light enveloped the area less than ten feet in radius like a blue wave. During the surge, some kind of weird "creaking" sound could even be heard.
"snort."
Seeing that the obstacle elimination array was unable to break the opponent's method for a while, Mu Qing stamped his feet, and the golden dragon condensed by the Kowloon Chaoyuan Formation raised its head and let out a long roar before dragging its body that had grown dozens of feet and rushed over. .
The body of the golden dragon surrounded the seemingly empty area. As the golden light from the dragon's body filled the air, a square space surrounded by a mirror surface was finally outlined in the originally empty blue waves.
There was bright skylight surging on the mirror, blocking the sight of the inside. Mu Qing approached a mirror and looked at his face reflected on the mirror. After a moment of silence, he said, "Miss Gu, at this time, it's still... Do you want to avoid people on purpose?"
In the bright light formation, Gu Yingqiu, who was separated by a different realm, looked at the young man in front of him with a pair of sword-shaped eyebrows, and then glanced at the golden dragon behind him that was getting ready to go. There was a glint in his eyes: "I didn't expect this man. The city lord really has such strength, I didn’t really believe it when the news came back to the Gu family.”
Gu Yinghe was "held hostage" in front of her. She looked at Mu Qing who was still waiting for her response with a complicated expression, and said in a deep voice: "That's enough! If we wait for his patience to run out, we will die together today." It’s better here.”
Gu Yinghe pursed his lips and smiled: "It seems that he has not yet or is unwilling to treat you as an enemy. This is a good thing for you, and I will naturally not make it difficult for you."
Outside the Mingguang Formation, Mu Qing, who had not been able to wait for Gu Yinghe's response, narrowed his eyes slightly and was about to continue the attack, but the next moment there were fluctuations on the mirror in front of him. As the skylight quickly pushed forward like mist, the original reflection Another person's face appeared on the mirror facing his face.
The Mingguang Formation is still there, but under Gu Yingqiu's control, the outside can also see clearly inside.
Mu Qing suddenly saw Gu Yinghe appearing in front of him, and subconsciously took half a step forward, but he soon saw another face next to Gu Yinghe!
A tall woman covered in black robe was standing behind Gu Yinghe, wrapping one arm around Gu Yinghe's neck!
Mu Qing immediately stopped and said in a deep voice, "Who are you?!"
Gu Yingqiu smiled at Mu Qingzhan, nodded and said, "Gu Yingqiu, I have met the city lord."
"!"
Mu Qing's pupils shrank and he frowned: "The high priest of the Gu family, Gu Yingqiu? I didn't expect you to come so quickly."
Gu Yingqiu was stunned by Mu Qing's reaction, then shook his head and said: "Gu Tian didn't come here. I just came here to chat with my sister. I didn't expect that the city lord cares so much about my sister and won't give up if she can't be found." .”
Mu Qing turned his eyes slightly and looked at Gu Yinghe.
As soon as the two people's eyes made contact, Gu Yinghe looked away. Mu Qing's eyes darkened and he said slowly: "Gu Tong brought me news about Baidi City, which is related to her and Gu Tian. I I went to the alchemy shop to look for you, but you were not there..."
Mu Qing didn't say what happened after he found out she wasn't there, which led him to find this place, and Gu Yinghe didn't ask either.
Gu Yinghe knew that when she and Gu Yingqiu appeared in front of Mu Qing together, the trust she and Mu Qing had finally built up during this period came to the edge of the cliff.
"..."
Mu Qing waited for a moment, looked at Gu Yinghe who remained silent, and couldn't help but ask, "Don't you have anything to say?"
Gu Yinghe pursed her lips slightly and shook her head. When she discovered that Gu Yingqiu was approaching Suzaku City, she hesitated whether to run over to meet Gu Yingqiu, so she wandered aimlessly for a while after leaving the city. , but seeing him was seeing him, and she didn’t know what to say for a moment.
Mu Qing lowered his eyes slightly, and then tightened his gaze. Only then did he notice that there was dried blood at the corner of Gu Yinghe's mouth.
Mu Qing looked at Gu Yingqiu with cold eyes. Gu Yingqiu glanced at Lingshuzi in the distance and said, "I guess the city lord can find the information provided by these people."
"So what?" Mu Qing said with a cold face. He couldn't sense Gu Yingqiu's realm aura through the formation for the time being, but the movement here has probably been transmitted back to Suzaku City. As time goes on, even if Gu Yingqiu is an immortal creature but he has to pay a price!
Gu Yingqiu smiled, looked at Gu Yinghe meaningfully, and then continued to say to Mu Qing: "It seems that these people have always been worried about Yinghe, otherwise they wouldn't be so sensitive."
Mu Qing said: "Although you are sisters, will this be a simple meeting between sisters?"
Listening to Mu Qing's increasingly wary words, Gu Yinghe felt mixed and couldn't help but ask, "What did Gu Tong say?"
Mu Qing was angry with Gu Yinghe in his heart, and said coldly: "Bai Di has a deep grudge against Zhuque City, and even gave up his status to let the Gu family move into Baidi City. When Gu Tong told me about this, you weren't Are you there too?"
Gu Yingqiu showed a trace of doubt in his eyes and shook his head: "We are going to the Black Sea. Baidi's relationship with the Gu family has always been good. We only went to Baidi City to rest for a few days. You are over-speculating... I hope you understand, Bei The Huang matter is over, and the Gu family and Suzaku City are not necessarily enemies."
"Really?" Mu Qing didn't know why Gu Yingqiu bothered to explain, and said a little tiredly: "If that's the case, why did the high priest secretly meet her? If you can come to Suzaku City openly, I guarantee with my identity that you will also be a guest of Suzaku City."
"..."
Gu Yingqiu was speechless for a moment. Gu Yinghe saw that she had never
My sister, who had said she couldn't win since she was a child, was defeated by Mu Qing so quickly. She sighed in her heart and said bluntly: "Because just as Zhuque City is wary of the Gu family, and the Gu family is now wary of Suzaku City, Ye Jianxian's catastrophe happened that day. It’s very big, and many forces know about it.”
Mu Qing did not expect that Gu Yinghe would suddenly explain to Gu Yingqiu, and felt a little inexplicably blocked. At least after Gu Yinghe came to Suzaku City, he sincerely treated her as a friend, but what about Gu Yinghe? Is it the same for him, or is she still wary like her sister?
Mu Qing suddenly thought of everyone's attitude towards Gu Yinghe, and was a little confused for a moment. After a long silence, he said to Gu Yinghe: "I am trying my best to distinguish the difference between the Gu family and you, and I also hope that the settled grievances in the past can really be wiped out. , because I am not alone, there are many people in Suzaku City behind me that I want to protect."
"But you should know that after all Bai Di has done, he failed to kill me. He will only become more frightened and want to kill me more. And his contact with the Gu family is also based on this."
Gu Yinghe nodded silently.
When Mu Qing saw that Gu Yinghe understood, he stopped talking and said with a smile, "As long as you understand. It's only now that I realize that individuals cannot escape the influence of the collective."
"Hey..." Gu Yingqiu suddenly sighed at this moment, tilted his head and said to Gu Yinghe: "It seems we don't have to make that bet."
Mu Qing narrowed his eyes slightly, seeing that the two women didn't want to talk about the content of the bet, and had no interest in asking further.
The two sides reached a stalemate for the first time.
At this moment, a sound broke through the air, and many disciples of the Phantom Sect gathered around Ling Shuzi in the distance.
Gu Yingqiu glanced over there and then looked away, smiling at Mu Qing: "It seems that the city lord planned to delay time to wait for help from the beginning, but those people can't keep me."
Mu Qing nodded slowly: "I know."
Gu Yingqiu squinted his eyes slightly, and almost instantly, the mirrors on both sides changed again, and the light spread forward, trying to cover Mu Qing.
Mu Qing noticed this change immediately, and with a thought, the golden dragon that had been entrenched behind him for a long time was about to rush towards the formation.
While talking to Gu Yingqiu, Mu Qing has been sensing this formation. According to his judgment, Jinlong can definitely break this formation. As for whether Gu Yingqiu can be injured after forcibly breaking it, It's very difficult.
Because the golden dragon that he guided the formation to condense this time was far inferior to the one in the Great Sun Sect before.
Just when the golden dragon looked up to the sky and roared, and was about to stretch its body and rush towards the bright light array, the life tablet on Mu Qing's body moved. He glanced out of the corner of his eye and saw Gu Yinghe, whose face was slightly pale.
"..."
It was at this moment of hesitation that the mirror that had been between the two parties appeared behind Mu Qing - Mu Qing was also shrouded in the bright light array.
And until the mirror was completely formed, the golden dragon stayed in place.
In the formation, Gu Yingqiu looked at Mu Qing who didn't make any response, and then glanced at Jinlong outside the formation. He was silent for a moment and said, "Sorry, before Ye Jianxian arrives, I have to think about it. Find a way to leave."
After Gu Yingqiu finished speaking, he released his arms around Gu Yinghe's neck, stepped aside, sat cross-legged, and silently stirred something.
Mu Qing frowned when he saw Gu Yingqiu acting like this. He was hesitating whether to attack Gu Yingqiu to test her true strength, when he heard a "pop" and Gu Yinghe fell to the ground in front of him. to the ground.
Mu Qing actually stretched out his hand, but the foot that was supposed to take a step was firmly rooted in the ground and failed to catch Gu Yinghe.
But when he looked at the ground with complicated and inexplicable emotions, and saw Gu Yinghe's face as pale as gold paper, he no longer hesitated and knelt down to help her up.
Not far away, Gu Yingqiu opened his eyes and happened to see this scene. He sighed in his heart: "Sister, I lost."
