In the Nanwang Mountains, after Mu Qing and his three people left the Kamikaze treasure ship, they did not immediately chase Zhu Bailu and others in front of them. Instead, they looked for hidden marks and found a mountain.
"You are here."
"Brother Naruha."
Mu Qing looked at Tantai Mingyu who appeared in front of him, raised his eyebrows and said, "Have you finally found it?"
Tantai Mingyu nodded and led the way. Several people entered the mountain from a hidden formation entrance, and their vision suddenly became clearer.
There is a large space inside the mountain. There are caves for living and practicing, and there are also treasure houses where things are stored. Traces of years of life can be seen everywhere, but at this time there are not even half a person in sight. Mu Qing only found some formations scattered on the ground in the treasure house. Material.
Tantai Mingyu had already explored the inside of the mountain and led them all the way to the depths. The temperature suddenly became hot, and a huge formation burst into view, which seemed to be the Youyan Formation.
"This mountain is less than a hundred miles away from where you were attacked. There are many traces between the two places. I have cleaned them up in advance." Tantai Mingyu said.
Mu Qing's eyes moved slightly: "Is this where the people who attacked us not long ago came from?"
"It's very possible." Tantai Mingyu nodded and said, "And there are no traces of damage here. I guess these people were not forced to attack the treasure ship, but were following orders."
Mu Qing frowned. Tantai Mingyu would act alone because he was entrusted by him to secretly search for the location of the Youyan Formation. Now that the formation has been found, he made an unexpected discovery.
Zhu Hongyan said: "It is impossible for my father to do such a thing. There is probably something wrong with the person who issued the order."
Tantai Mingyu looked at Mu Qing, "Shen Ze has arrested a lot of people. If they are determined to find them, they will find them here soon. Do you need me to arrange the formation here to be more secretive?"
Mu Qing was silent.
Even if Shen Ze discovers this place, there won't be much of a problem, but in this sneak attack, the great elder clearly told everyone that he had discovered Zhu Yushan's plan, or part of it.
So if he chose this time to expose it, who was he telling it openly?
Mu Qing had the answer in his heart and said: "I'm afraid he wants to test Nangui City's reaction to see if City Lord Zhu and the others choose to turn a blind eye. If Nangui City still bites Zhu Tianlong, I'm afraid he won't mind continuing. Put pressure on this matter."
Murong Jing was puzzled: "Why didn't he reveal this matter directly?"
Zhu Hongyan said quietly: "With old Zhu Zong here, he can't do anything to my father, and my father can't do anything to him either."
"I'm afraid that's it," Mu Qing said.
Mu Qing always felt that Zhu Jiyuan's reaction on this matter was a bit strange, but he couldn't find a clear clue for the time being, so he could only say: "We don't want to change anything, let's just wait and see what happens."
He turned his eyes and found that Murong Jing was not beside him. He looked up and saw that Murong Jing had already walked into the formation. He quickly came to her side and asked, "What's wrong?"
Murong Jing frowned and said nothing, carefully checked several locations, and finally said: "This is not the Youyan Formation."
"no?"
Mu Qing looked at the familiar formation patterns under his feet and said strangely: "This is the same as the formation pattern underground in Suzaku City."
"The formation pattern is the same, but every key node is completely opposite to the Youyan Formation." Murong Jing stood in the formation and said firmly.
Murong Jing walked to the center of the formation and looked at Zhu Hongyan. Zhu Hongyan recalled that when they met and stood together, the two women injected Qi into the center of the formation. The formation patterns on the ground lit up instantly, but then, there was a strong suction force. Then he emerged from the ground and madly absorbed the power of the two women.
Murong Jing had already guessed, so she immediately stopped with a groan, and pulled Zhu Hongyan to fly out of the formation.
"I had doubts before."
Murong Jing looked at the formation that dimmed again and said: "The Great Nether Flame Formation is usually arranged based on the natural underground fire veins. If he has deployed more than one Great Nether Flame Formation in the Nanwang Mountains, then all these formations will be There should be a fire vein."
Zhu Hongyan frowned and said, "It can also be a strange fire.
Yes, there is actually a strange fire underground in Nanwang City. "
Mu Qing understood what Murong Jing meant and said, "Jing'er wants to say that it's true. Those places shouldn't be so barren and desolate. They were discovered by the Zhu family long ago and turned into a place of cultivation."
Murong Jing nodded and said: "Now with this test, I can confirm that this is not the Nether Flame Formation at all. The formation materials and most of the formations it requires may be the same as the Nether Flame Formation, but the performance The function is completely opposite to that of the Nether Flame Formation. It is not to suppress and absorb the power of fire veins, but to absorb any fire attribute power in the world."
Zhu Hongyan frowned and said, "Perhaps the city lord didn't make it clear that the Nine Heavens Nether Flame Formation, which transcends the heavenly level, requires such a basic formation? Only by gathering a huge amount of power can the fire of Nirvana be completely sealed."
Mu Qing was about to speak when he felt Murong Jing's gaze and stopped paying attention.
The principle of blocking is worse than spacing is simple and easy to understand. Zhu Zong and the witches of the Zhu family have always done this in the past generations. Zhu Yushan is now completely opposite, choosing to absorb power from heaven and earth.
This is more like pouring oil on the fire.
However, they have only discovered such a formation now. Maybe when these formations form the Nine Heavens Nether Flame Formation, the reverse may not be certain.
Mu Qing had a plan in mind and looked at Tantai Mingyu. Tantai Mingyu nodded and said, "I will look for more formations and the news will be passed to Ling'er when the time comes."
Mu Qing raised his eyebrows. It was indeed much more convenient to have a strong man in the Saint King realm looking for clues. He said sincerely, "Brother Mingyu, please."
Before leaving, Mu Qing specially selected a few formation materials from the treasure house and put them into the Najie before separating from Tantai Mingyu.
An hour later, they met Zhu Bailu and others who were resting on the spot.
"Why are you three here?" Zhu Bailu asked curiously.
When Mu Qing told the news about the attack on the Kamikaze treasure ship, Zhu Bailu's eyes darkened. No matter how peaceful his personality was, he couldn't help but sneer: "Fortunately, we guessed this possibility from the beginning, and Zhu Li is following you, otherwise we would still be here." It’s really possible to dedicate manpower to rescue you.”
Zhu Hongyan looked around and saw the mess, and asked, "Were you still unable to keep Zhou Gan and those people?"
Zhu Bailu looked a little unhappy. When he talked about Zhou Qian's arrangement, he finally said in a low voice: "They made full use of the strange fire, and even combined the swallowing sect's formation with the Lihuo formation."
Zhu Yun on the side couldn't hold it back and said coldly: "The only one who knows more than us witches is the Great Elder!"
"Xiaoyun!" Zhu Yan quickly stopped Zhu Yun.
Zhu Yun sneered, but said no more.
When Mu Qing meets his brothers and sisters, they will have conflicts because of these things, and he further realizes the complexity of the affairs within the Zhu family.
For the first time, Zhu Bailu showed fatigue and apology on his face. He pointed to a pile of humanoid ashes beside him and said, "Zhu Tianlong is dead. I'm afraid this matter will end here. I'm really sorry for bringing you in."
Mu Qing shook his head and smiled: "Old Zhu Zong is willing to give us the opportunity to participate in the trial, which is enough."
Zhu Bailu knew that Mu Qing and others had contributed a lot. After thinking about it, he took out a bronze lamp with a stable black flame on it and handed it to Zhong Ling'er, "I can't decide who belongs to the Blood Transformation Flame, but this Black Tiger Flame Yes, Master Ling'er spent a lot of money in dealing with Zhou Qian, so this strange fire can be considered as my personal compensation."
Zhong Ling'er's eyes were slightly bright. She was a member of the true spirit and was close to the origin of fire. She had been coveting the different fires that were born in the heaven and earth for a long time. She stretched out her hand to take it, but then she remembered something and looked displeased. Shirdi shook his head and refused, "No, no, I'm not the only one who helped."
Mu Qing smiled and said: "Ling'er, take it."
Zhong Ling'er asked: "Then I really accept it?"
Mu Qing and Tantai Xuan looked at each other, smiled, and nodded. Zhong Ling'er no longer hesitated. With a move of his hand, the black tiger flame separated from the lamp and was taken into Zhong Ling'er's body. Her figure suddenly grew an inch taller, and her little face turned red. Being drunk, even the breath became fuller and more solid, which not only made up for the shortfall during this period, but also increased a lot.
Zhu Bailu was amazed when she saw this scene. She had already guessed that Zhong Ling'er and Yi Huo
They were extremely compatible, and this was directly confirmed at this time. Thinking of the forbidden land ceremony that would begin after the Three Mountains Trial, I suddenly had other plans in my mind.
At night, under a pavilion in Qingkong Mountain, the aroma of wine fills the air.
Zhu Hao took Mu Qing to drink a bowl of spiritual wine and sighed happily: "I didn't expect that we would see each other again so soon after leaving Wuji Sword Sect!"
Their area is now specially used for the residence and training of the contestants of the Three Mountains Trial. Zhu Hao found out about Mu Qing's arrival when he came to Zhu Hongyan earlier. He was pleasantly surprised and took them to this secluded garden.
Mu Qing tasted the sweet wine and looked around the vibrant garden, and couldn't help but say: "Jingkong Mountain is very different from what I imagined."
Zhu Hao laughed and said, "In your imagination, Jingkong Mountain should be as deserted as the outside."
Mu Qing nodded. When he followed the treasure ship into Jingkong Mountain, he was indeed shocked by the rich vitality of Jingkong Mountain. There were vibrant elixirs, flowers and plants everywhere, which was completely different from the outside world.
Zhu Ling from the side intervened and said: "I heard from Master that Jingkong Mountain was really similar to the outside before, but the existence of the strange fire and formations, the further away from Fen Valley, the richer the vitality, and vice versa. The stronger the aura is."
Mu Qing asked curiously: "A strange fire? Isn't it the fire of Nirvana?"
Zhu Hao shook his head: "Can the Fire of Nirvana be suppressed and utilized by formations? My sister is talking about the third-ranked Fire of Creatures. According to the Master, this strange fire is quite strange and does not hurt anyone. The vitality and aura spread are extremely rich..."
Zhu Hao was already a little drunk at this time, and was about to continue the introduction, but Zhu Li suddenly touched him. Zhu Hao quickly raised his head, the drunkenness disappeared instantly, and immediately stood up and stammered: "Master, Mu Qing is not an outsider. , I don’t think this is..."
Zhu Manzhi came to the pavilion at some point. She glared at her apprentice, "Did I tell you?"
Mu Qing also stood up at this time. He didn't expect to see her here instead of seeing her in Nangui City. He simply called out: "Auntie."
Murong Jing, who was next to Mu Qing, was stunned. She didn't expect Mu Qing to be so thick-skinned. After hesitating for a moment, she also shouted: "Auntie."
Zhu Manzhi didn't expect Murong Jing to shout like this, and was a little surprised. He arched his eyebrows and said, "Xiao Jing, I was supposed to go to Nangui City to pick you up, but Senior Sister Bai Lu has already left, and I can't leave Yuri Mountain. I hope you don’t blame auntie.”
Murong Jing looked a little uncomfortable, but still said: "No, Hongyan is in Nangui City."
Zhu Manzhi nodded. Mu Qing originally thought that she came here specifically for Zhu Yushan and wanted to talk about Zhou Gan's affairs, but unexpectedly, he heard Zhu Manzhi say immediately: "Master wants to see you, is it convenient for you?" ?」
Murong Jing was stunned, "Who is your master?"
Zhu Manzhi smiled and said, "Of course it's Old Zhu Zong."
Murong Jing was silent for a short time, then nodded and said, "Okay."
Zhu Manzhi raised his eyebrows and was about to take Murong Jing away. Mu Qing became anxious and asked quickly: "Auntie, can I go with you?"
Zhu Manzhi looked sideways, "You are so thick-skinned, and you are the honored guest that Senior Sister Bai Lu calls you. What can you do if you want to follow me?"
Mu Qing understood, walked to Murong Jing, and held her hand.
Several young people in the pavilion laughed out loud when they saw this scene, as if they were completely unaware of the dark clouds surging inside the Zhu family.
