In the main hall, the atmosphere became quiet.
Zhu Li looked at Mu Qing seriously, waiting for Mu Qing's answer.
Zhou Qian escaped seriously injured, and the situation was temporarily stable. She had time to review the conflicts that had occurred over the past few days.
Tantai Xuan obviously values Mu Qing's safety more, and Zhong Ling'er is even more obedient to Mu Qing's words. Mu Qing, who is in the whirlpool, plays a role that is not only not minor, but even extremely prominent. He is the leader recognized by these top powerhouses. Rather than the younger generation to take care of.
Zhu Li was not sure what kind of changes would result from such an absolutely powerful force trying to get involved in Zhu Yushan's plan.
Mu Qing noticed the faint warning in Zhu Li's eyes and said: "Getting a strange fire is one of them; depending on the situation, helping the head of the Zhu family is the second. As for the third, trying to get a drop of Nirvana essence and blood .”
"Nirvana essence and blood?" Zhu Li suddenly changed his expression and frowned: "Do you know about Nirvana essence and blood? Who told you?"
When Zhu Li spoke, he looked at Zhu Hongyan who was standing aside. Zhu Hongyan had a helpless expression on his face and almost said that Mu Qing, an outsider, knew more secrets than she did.
Seeing Zhu Li's reaction, Mu Qing continued: "The fire of Nirvana is the fire of life that Lord Lingguang ignited with his body. The Nirvana essence and blood I need should be present in the Nirvana fire."
Zhu Li stared at Mu Qing for a long time, and then said: "These are secrets that only Zhu Zong and the witches know. Manzhi should not tell you these."
Mu Qing nodded and said honestly: "That's what I guessed."
The corners of Zhu Li's eyes twitched, and he felt the pain between his brows became more swollen. Zhu Hongyan rarely explained for Mu Qing: "Mu Qing was valued by Elder Tantai when he was in Mingquan Secret Realm, and finally received part of the inheritance from Lord Zhiming... "
After being reminded by Zhu Hongyan, Zhu Li then remembered the rumors related to Mu Qing, and his guard was slightly reduced. He was silent for a while, and finally answered what he wanted to know most in Mu Qing's expectant eyes.
"Since you know a lot about the Fire of Nirvana, I don't think I'm leaking the secret. Every time the Fire of Nirvana awakens, Zhu Zong needs to lead the witches to perform a fire ignition ceremony to absorb the excess power."
"Zhu Zong bore the brunt of the ceremony and fed the fire with his body. Zhu Zong in the past has only one result, which is the collapse of vitality as the sea of consciousness dries up."
"Zhu Yushan wants to end his fate as Zhu Zong. His plan is actually very simple, which is to completely seal the fire of Nirvana once and for all."
Mu Qing's heart was moved. He had made some guesses about this at the beginning, but he didn't think Zhu Yushan could do it. At this time, he still had doubts: "What method did he use to completely seal the fire of Nirvana?"
Zhu Li raised his eyebrows and asked, "Aren't you the lord of Suzaku City?"
Mu Qing turned his head in surprise, and Murong Jing happened to look towards him. The two of them said in unison: "The Great Nether Flame Formation?"
"Um."
Zhu Li calmly said: "The Nether Flame Formation was born out of the "Nine Heavens Nether Flame Technique". It was originally an formation used to seal strange fires."
Mu Qing frowned: "But the fire of Nirvana is obviously of a higher level than the alien fire."
"...Zhu Yushan told me that when the ancestors of the Zhu family obtained the "Nine Heavens Nether Flame Technique", they also obtained a formation that transcended the heavenly level, called the 'Nine Heavens Nether Flame Formation'. The current Nether Flame Formation is just this A part separated by the formation. "
In the past few years, a large number of cultivation resources in Nangui City have gone unaccounted for. Murong Jing once speculated from those formation materials that they might be used to set up the Youyan Formation. This is consistent with Zhu Li's statement.
Mu Qing asked: "Is this Nine Heavens Nether Flame Formation in the Zhu family's forbidden area?"
Zhu Li smiled and said: "The forbidden area is my sister's territory. Zhu Yushan can't do this even with Manzhi's support. What's more, how can a formation that surpasses the heaven level be deployed just in Fengu."
"Then where is this formation?"
"In the mountains."
Seeing that Mu Qing wanted to continue asking, Zhu Li said first, "Don't ask me which mountain I am on, because there are many mountains in the Nanwang Mountains. If you really want to help, just go find Zhu Yushan yourself."
Mu Qing probably understood what Zhu Li meant and nodded.
Thinking of Zhu Bailu who had left, he said: "Behind Zhu Tianlong is Zhu Jiyuan, Zhou Qian colluded with this person, and the target will not be these people in Nangui City."
Zhu Li sat up straight and asked seriously: "What do you think is the real purpose of their collusion?"
Mu Qing replied: "Behind Zhou Qian is an existence at the level of the Immortal Emperor. He must be looking for extremely high-level cultivation resources, maybe the top ten strange fires, maybe... like me, he also wants to get a drop of nirvana." Essence and blood."
"You are honest." Zhu Li looked sideways.
Mu Qing had a natural look on his face. Meng Zhang believed that the "fire ritual" mentioned by Zhu Li was to release the blood of Lord Lingguang. What he asked for would not cause harm to the old Zhu Zong. This was also an important factor in his final decision to be honest. one of the reasons.
He analyzed that the reason why Zhu Li was willing to support Zhu Yushan's plan was that he might also want to try to help her sister get rid of her fateful arrangement.
Zhu Li looked worried and said: "Zhu Jiyuan is extremely powerful, and Zhou Qian is also extremely difficult to deal with. If you can force the two of them to work together, the end result is certainly not small. I will remind Sister Bai Lu about this."
Mu Qing frowned slightly and said hesitantly: "If Zhu Zong lacks manpower, I can also contribute."
Zhu Li refused without thinking, saying: "Although I have not returned to the mountains for a long time, this is an internal matter of the Zhu family. If I use your hands to change the situation, I will become a traitor colluding with both inside and outside."
Zhu Li raised his chin slightly, looked at Mu Qing with a serious face, and said with a hint of warning: "I will not conclude that Zhu Xiao is colluding with outsiders because of incomplete evidence, nor will I conclude that Zhu Jiyuan is in cahoots with Zhu Tianlong just because he has problems. There is a problem. Although you are young, you are also the lord of a city. You should understand that it is easy to destroy order, but it is extremely difficult to rebuild it."
"I understand what you mean." Mu Qing sighed softly: "But the premise of all this is that others are also doing things under order. If they don't care about what you value from the beginning, you should take action before them."
How come Zhu Li doesn't understand these principles, but Mu Qing is an outsider after all, and she doesn't know that even if she collects enough evidence now and runs back to clear up the matter, there are also elders of the Zhu family who can find various reasons for Zhu Jiyuan. , and her biological sister will also choose to remain silent.
Because the future of their Zhu family is originally in the hands of those who are most likely to be harmonious.
Who would join forces with outsiders to stifle their family's future?
Zhu Li laughed at himself and said: "The Three Mountains Trial will not be affected by these recent people. You, Xiaojing, and Hongyan can participate in the competition with peace of mind. If you meet Hongyan in the end, remember to lose to her."
Mu Qing was stunned. Zhu Li's words obviously seemed to be addressed to him.
Zhu Li explained: "This is a decision jointly made by the three highest-status members of the Zhu family. In this trial, if Hongyan takes first place, in addition to getting the rewards that come with first place, she will also be able to avoid death." Rishan."
Yuri Mountain is where Zhu Zong and the witches practice. Mu Qing asked curiously, "What if I don't get first place?"
"If he doesn't win first place, Hongyan has two choices, either becoming Manzhi's successor or handing over the Golden Emperor Fen Tianyan."
Murong Jing glanced at Zhu Hongyan, frowned and said, "You only said before that Zhu Jiyuan might be coveting the Golden Emperor's Burning Sky Flame, but you didn't mention that there was this bet."
Zhu Hongyan smiled helplessly and glanced at Mu Qing, "I also want to try his true strength now. And if my father's plan succeeds, becoming my aunt's successor will only have benefits."
Mu Qing's heart moved. If they had not signed up for the Three Mountains Trial, Zhu Hongyan would have met Gu Yuan, who went by the pseudonym Zhou Yuan. It was not certain who would win by then.
Murong Jing had obviously thought of this, and just as she was about to speak, there was sudden movement outside.
Mu Qing immediately rushed out of the hall, looked for the sound, and broke into a room.
Zhu Bailu rushed over before him, and was trying to save Gu Ningchun who was lying on the ground. But Gu Tian fell on Gu Ningchun, and his life was about to be extinguished!
"Linger!"
Mu Qing came to Gu Tian's side and took action to treat him. Zhong Ling'er, who rushed into the room behind him, waved his small hand, and the Nine Heavens Breathing Soil rushed out of his chest and surrounded Gu Tian and Gu Ningchun, stabilizing the passing of the two. vitality.
After a long time, Mu Qing finally rescued the two of them after spending a lot of Hongmeng Purple Qi.
Gu Ningchun opened her eyes and saw Mu Qing. She confessed her guilt and said, "I let him go."
Mu Qing frowned. If he hadn't gained the experience of rescuing people when he was in the Gu family, the two of them would have died by now.
Seeing that Gu Ningchun could still speak, Zhu Bailu breathed a sigh of relief, and then said: "Zhou Feipeng and Gu Yuan were both severely injured by the alien fire. I took action to wipe out the alien fire left in Gu Yuan's body and let them take them back. room, when I came back, they had already fallen to the ground."
Mu Qing sighed softly. In order to retrieve Gu Yuan, Gu Ningchun and the two chased him from Beihuang through mountains and rivers to Nangui City, but they could not recover Gu Yuan's heart.
At this time, the blood in the two people's bodies was very thin. Mu Qing probably guessed what happened after they brought Gu Yuan back to the room, and said: "You unreservedly want to save him, but he only wants your lives."
Gu Ningchun looked depressed.
Gu Tian's face turned even pale and he asked, "How much time do we have?"
Mu Qing said truthfully: "Sister Ningchun originally had three years left, but now I'm afraid she only has half a year, and you are about the same."
Gu Tian was silent for a moment, then suddenly smiled with relief, held Gu Ningchun's hand tightly and stopped talking.
Mu Qing said: "You have no realm now, but you are no different from ordinary people. How about sending you back to Linghai Prefecture?"
Gu Tian nodded.
Zhu Li on the side also sighed when he saw this and said, "I will personally entrust someone to handle this matter."
Zhong Ling'er took out a sword boat and said, "Use the sword boat. It will save a lot of time on the road."
Mu Qing stood up and left. When he walked to the door, he said, "Next time I meet Gu Yuan, should I spare his life?"
Gu Tian's lips moved, and it took him a long time to squeeze out a sentence: "He took away my blood and Ningchun's blood, and he did not use the forbidden magic of the Witch Clan, but the method of the swallowing sect. I can no longer tell whether he is Gu Yuan or swallowing." The Holy Son of Heaven."
Mu Qing nodded, "That's fine."
