Zhu Boyuan took Mu Qing and the others to his residence and left.
"Uncle Boyuan and Dad don't deal with each other in the first place. Is this really useful?"
Zhu Hongyan didn't think Zhu Yushan would appear if Mu Qing made such a fuss, and said.
Mu Qing looked around to make sure no one was eavesdropping, and then said: "Ling'er is not far from us. If your father doesn't come, it would be good if you could contact Ling'er and the others."
Last night's trip to Yuiri Mountain and today's test by Zhu Yunfeng and others made Mu Qing realize that the situation was already very passive.
Both Zhu Yushan and Zhu Jiyuan seemed to have reached the end of their plans, so even though the force that went into the mountain with him should not be underestimated, it was "forgotten" on the edge.
If he wants to take the initiative, he can no longer wait and see what happens. He must defeat Zhu Yushan and Zhu Jiyuan's plan as soon as possible.
…
Tonight, Zhu Yushan was entertaining distinguished guests from afar in the Hefeng Tower. In the hall were not only Zhu Bailu, but also Zhu Jiyuan, the eldest elder of the Zhu family. Their standards were extremely high, and it was Tantai Xuan and Zhong Ling'er who were treated with such solemnity.
The arrival of Zhu Boyuan suddenly broke the harmony in the building.
"They want to see me?" Zhu Yushan asked, frowning slightly.
Zhu Boyuan did not expect that the timing would be such a coincidence, and said, "Yes, they had a conflict with Yunfeng because they wanted to meet the head of the family."
Zhu Yushan frowned deeper.
If it weren't for this place, he would probably just let nature take its course and disqualify Mu Qing and the others.
But will Zhu Jiyuan agree?
Thinking of Zhu Jiyuan's test during the day, Zhu Yushan made a decision in his heart and said: "Since you have dealt with the conflict between them, so be it. They are now contestants, and meeting me will only make people more criticized. .”
Zhu Boyuan glanced at everyone in the hall, frowned and said dissatisfied: "No one here knows Xiaojing's identity yet. She has returned to Zhu's house. What do you mean by not meeting her? No wonder she said it during the day. if that is the case."
Zhu Yushan had an ugly expression.
The Zhu family is a whirlpool, what are the benefits of getting involved?
Zhu Jiyuan spoke slowly at this time and said, "Zhu Zong confirmed the child's identity last night, and the head of the family can indeed meet him."
"No." Zhu Yushan refused expressionlessly: "Since she doesn't want to return to the Zhu family, she can only be a contestant."
The atmosphere in the hall was a bit stagnant.
Zhong Ling'er stood up and said, "I want to see the city lord."
Zhong Ling'er was a guest. After making this request, Zhu Yushan and Zhu Jiyuan fell silent at the same time.
A layer of worry flashed in Zhu Bailu's eyes, and she stood up and said, "Let me take Master Ling'er there."
Zhu Bailu didn't wait for the two of them to express their opinions. She stood up and took the initiative to lead Zhong Ling'er out of the building.
Zhu Boyuan looked deeply at everyone in the hall, turned and left.
Today's Zhu family is like a whirlpool that can spread at any time. The arrival of people like Tantai Xuan only allows Zhu Yushan and Zhu Jiyuan to maintain a superficial calm.
But the actions in private have become more and more obvious.
He heard that many people had died in the Nanwang Mountains.
Subconsciously, he even began to expect that the arrival of people like Mu Qing could prevent the Zhu family from splitting.
…
On the other side, Mu Qing saw Zhu Bailu and Zhong Ling'er coming together. His heart moved. He suppressed the urge to ask for news from outside the mountain and said to Zhu Bailu: "I couldn't see the old senior last night. I wonder if there is still a chance?"
Zhu Bailu was slightly startled and glanced at Zhu Boyuan. Zhu Boyuan understood and took the initiative to walk outside.
"Since Master doesn't want to see you, I can't take you there anymore."
"...How long can she hold on?"
Zhu Bailu glanced at Murong Jing and said, "Xiao Jing has met the master, so she should be able to guess that the master's time is running out."
"Of course, if there are no accidents, Master can still wait until Manzhi gets a firm footing."
"Unexpected." Mu Qing saw that Zhu Bailu had said this, and also confirmed some of Zhu Bailu's reasons for coming, and said clearly: "Senior Bailu, do you hope that we can help?"
"Since you call Xiaoyun and the others senior sister, you can also call me senior sister in the future." Zhu Bailu's expression softened slightly, glanced at the Murong Jing sisters, and said frankly: "When I saw you in Nangui City, I thought you were here. To help the head of the family."
Mu Qing knew it well. He had confessed his intention to Zhu Li and Zhu Guyu when he was in Nangui City, but Zhu Bailu was obviously kept in the dark and responded: "To be honest with Senior Sister Bailu, I did have this plan at first, but The head of the Zhu family obviously doesn’t want me to interfere in the Zhu family’s affairs.”
"I can see that." Zhu Bailu took two steps closer, looked into Mu Qing's eyes and said, "I have no other request, I just hope you can save the master. If you agree, I will do my best for any conditions you propose. satisfy."
Mu Qing asked, "Does Old Zhu Zong know her current situation?"
Zhu Bailu frowned and remained silent for a while, then nodded slowly, with a trace of grief, anger and despair in her voice: "I don't accept Master's ending."
Zhu Hongyan finally frowned when she heard this. She and Zhu Bailu had different stances and said: "None of the Zhu Zong's endings in the past have been good. This kind of reincarnation can only end with the old Zhu Zong."
Zhu Bailu stared at Zhu Hongyan and asked, "So your father also plans to take action against the master?"
"Yes." Zhu Hongyan did not hide it, but added, "But unlike the Great Elder, his target is a forbidden area."
The atmosphere in the room was somewhat silent.
Mu Qing was still filled with this conflicting emotion. He looked at Zhong Ling'er and asked, "Is there any news from Brother Mingyu?"
Zhong Ling'er nodded, "In two days, many people died in the mountains. He found several more formations. The key positions are still the other way around, not the Nether Flame Formation."
"Impossible!" Zhu Hongyan's emotions fluctuated the most when he heard this, and he said in disbelief: "This will definitely not seal anything."
Zhu Ling'er nodded: "This does not seem to be for sealing."
Zhu Bailu listened half-comprehensively, and suddenly said: "The master of the family plans to completely seal the fire of Nirvana?"
Mu Qing shook his head and remained silent.
On the other side, Zhong Ling'er waved her small hand and began to trace the formation discovered by Tantai Mingyu in mid-air.
…
In the sea of consciousness, Mu Qing had been in the mountains for so long, and finally waited for Meng Zhang's response.
"You said the reverse combination is another formation?"
"Well, it's very possible. Invoking the power of heaven and earth to pour the heart of Nirvana, this is the method of nine-turn Nirvana. Although I have not heard of any other formations with the same effect, but maybe it was Ling Guang's last awakening. Revealed.”
"If it's true as you said, isn't Jing'er's father colluding with Lord Lingguang?"
"..."
Meng Zhang was speechless, "It's just different positions. Tantai Xuan and Zhi Ming colluded before, and you, haven't you been colluding with me now?"
Mu Qing: "This is different. We succeed each other and will not plot against innocent people."
"...By the way, I wanted to ask you last night."
"Is it about the Nirvana Technique? This technique is indeed obtained from Ling Guang, but you don't have to worry about Murong Jing being tainted with too much karma. This technique can only be regarded as the true inheritance of Ling Guang. Part of it is derived from her natal magical power."
Mu Qing couldn't help but become curious: "Even part of it involves the natal magical power, how did you know?"
Meng Zhang said vaguely: "After all, we are all famous divine kings, and there is always time to discuss and discuss with each other. This Nirvana Technique was obtained at that time."
Mu Qing and Meng Zhang have a deep bond, and now they can even sense Meng Zhang's emotions in turn, and said: "I'm afraid it's not that simple, right?"
Meng Zhang snorted coldly: "Why are you so curious about these things? Have I ever been curious about your confidante?"
"It turns out she is a confidante." Mu Qing became more curious and asked simply and directly: "Do you want to save her?"
Meng Zhang was silent for a while and then said: "The remnant spirit of Zhi Ming is not the original Zhi Ming, and the fierceness of the supervisor cannot become a real supervisor."
Mu Qing understood, "You are worried that she is no longer who she was before, but a reborn consciousness."
"Yes, taking a drop of Nirvana essence and blood and saving her are two completely different things. The cause and effect here has a big impact not only on me, but also on you. You may even become a public enemy in the spiritual world. .”
Mu Qing didn't expect that Meng Zhang wouldn't say anything at first, and considering his situation, he nodded lightly, "We haven't been in contact yet. It's really too early to talk about rescue or not."
"But... we still have to find a way to have a good chat with Jing'er's father."
When Mu Qing ended the conversation in the sea of consciousness, Zhu Bailu finally heard the whole story from Zhong Ling'er. Seeing Mu Qing's gaze, she immediately said in a deep voice: "If Zhu Yushan was allowed to release the fire of Nirvana so recklessly, The entire Zhu family will be swallowed up, and I must tell Master the news immediately."
Zhu Bailu walked out of the house as she spoke. Zhu Hongyan wanted to stop her, but was blocked by Mu Qing. When Zhu Bailu came to the door, she realized what she was doing and looked back at Mu Qing, "You guys..."
Mu Qing said: "Senior sister, there is really no need to worry. The head of the Zhu family should not have hidden his purpose. Whether it is to completely seal the Nirvana Fire or to release the Nirvana Fire, the old Zhu Zong may have already guessed it."
Zhu Bailu recalled what Zhu Tiexin said about Zhu Yushan last night. Her heart moved slightly and she stopped at the door. However, she still couldn't hide the worry and even fear in her heart. She said in a deep voice: "The prosperity of the Zhu family has a great relationship with Fengu." Relationship, if the fire of Nirvana is completely revived, the three mountains will bear the brunt, and everyone staying in the mountains will not be able to escape the fate of destruction."
"This is the warning the Zhu family received when they took root in the mountains. It is also the real reason why Zhu Zong and the witches guard Fen Valley in the past generations."
Zhu Bailu looked at Zhu Hongyan, frowned and said: "If the head of the family is really desperate for Manzhi, we have no choice but to cooperate with the great elder first."
Mu Qing knew that if they did not come, this would very likely happen. Even if Zhu Jiyuan took the lead in attacking Zhu Tiexin, for the sake of the Zhu family, Zhu Bailu would lead the other witches to pacify Zhu Yushan first and then avenge her master. .
Therefore, after Zhu Bailu finished speaking, he said sincerely: "Senior Sister Bailu should be able to understand by now that my position is not the same as that of the head of the Zhu family."
Zhu Bailu looked at Mu Qing. She was very confused now and didn't know if she could still believe Mu Qing. But when she thought of Zhu Tiexin's almost unchangeable ending, she became heartbroken and said, "Then let's go back to the beginning. In that sentence, state your conditions.”
