"Saint, what are you waiting for?"
An old man with gray hair walked out of the forest and looked at Mu Ningning curiously.
"Waiting for Lu Chen."
Mu Ningning picked up a stone and threw it into the lake, and said calmly: "I gave him an hour, I guess he will come and steal the Kunlun Mirror."
"The saint is worried too much. He is not stupid. How could he come here to die even though he knew the security here was tight?" The white-haired old man shook his head and smiled.
"Wealth and wealth are sought in danger!"
Mu Ningning looked back at the tree and said meaningfully: "I have investigated this person's information and found that his behavior has always been bold. Moreover, stealing the Kunlun Mirror is his only chance to survive. He won't miss it."
"I heard that he is related to that man. Could it be that the saint wants to give him the Kunlun Mirror to help him escape?"
The white-haired old man looked at Mu Ningning with a half-smile. The latter's delicate body trembled, and a trace of panic flashed in his eyes, but it disappeared in an instant.
She said coldly: "The elder is too worried. I know what to do and what not to do. I am waiting for him to steal the Kunlun Mirror so that I can bring him to justice."
Mu Ningning did not pursue Lu Chen for cheating in the alchemy test, not to give Ji Xingchen face, but because she was a principled person.
Now that the rules have been set, then act according to the rules.
She never thought about sparing Lu Chen.
"Of course I believe in the saint."
After saying that, the white-haired old man came over, sat down next to Mu Ningning, then set up a fishing rod and started fishing.
"Elder, do you know the origins of Tian Sanjiu and Li Qianmei? I always feel that these two are the most noteworthy beings in this Genius Conference."
The white-haired old man pondered for a while, and then said: "Tian Sanjiu is the descendant of that old beggar. He is good, but he is not worth your attention. As for Li Qianmei, I can't see through her origins. I only know She came in from outside, and she killed a representative of the hidden sect and snatched the invitation letter she used to sign up."
"Did you steal her invitation?"
Mu Ningning was startled. No wonder there were no clues after searching for so long. It turned out that the search was wrong from the beginning...
"It's from the outside world... It seems that the outside world has been developing during the more than ten years since the Immortal Palace has been hidden in the world."
Mu Ningning sighed, stopped talking, and looked at the Kunlun Mirror quietly, waiting for Lu Chen's arrival.
But time passed by, and Chase Lu never showed up.
The white-haired old man caught a fish and chuckled: "Holy girl, it seems your fish didn't take the bait."
Mu Ningning stood up slowly and shook his head with some disappointment: "If they miss today, they won't have a chance to escape. It's really disappointing that they don't dare to take a chance at this time."
"How do you know they didn't fight?"
The white-haired old man took the fish off the hook and said in a deep voice: "Many masters have entered the Holy City recently. Please remind the palace master to be careful and don't make the same kind of trouble as it was more than ten years ago, otherwise... ...The elders will consider whether he is suitable to be the palace master."
Ding! !
Mu Ningning's heart trembled suddenly, and her face turned very ugly: "What the elder means..."
The white-haired old man interrupted her and said, "That's it. It's almost time. It's time for you to go back."
…
Mu Ningning returned to the sacred tree absentmindedly, thinking about the meaning of the white-haired old man's words along the way.
Master! !
He is the supreme elder of Kunlun Immortal Palace, and his cultivation is earth-shattering. To be called a master, he must be at least in the late stage of the Heavenly Master Realm! !
What is the purpose of such a person sneaking into the Holy City?
Could it be...
Are you going to forcefully rescue Lu Chen and leave?
Back at the Sacred Tree, Lu Chen had already obtained the Sacred Fruit. She briefly asked the Nine-Headed Bird, and when there was nothing unusual, she took the people back to the Holy City.
After leaving the forbidden area, she went directly to the Immortal Palace, found Mu Bailong and told him the news she had just received.
Mu Bailong frowned after hearing this: "No wonder he chose to take the divine fruit even though he had the opportunity to evacuate. It turns out that he had already thought of a backup plan, but... they are not qualified to cause trouble in the Holy City!"
Mu Bailong's face was so gloomy that water dripped from his face.
Back then, Jiutian made a big fuss in the Kunlun Divine Realm and destroyed the space passage. This incident seriously damaged his reputation. Many elders in the palace were very dissatisfied with him.
He held the Genius Conference. Firstly, he wanted to shock the hidden sects who were trying to make trouble recently. Secondly, he wanted to imagine the supreme elders in the forbidden area and show off his abilities.
At this time, there must be no mistakes.
"Let the people from the intelligence department check carefully to see who is here this time. Hmm, it's best if all the people from Jiutian are here, so... I can make them pay with their blood!!"
…
On the other side, Lu Chen hurried to Mingyue Tower.
"Fairy Zhou, I got the magic fruit back. Please help me wake up my sister."
Lu Chen took out two magical fruits and placed them on the table.
Zhou Zhiruo asked curiously: "Mu Ningning is so generous that he gave you two?"
Lu Chen explained: "Mu Ningning left after sending me up. I took three pieces in total. This one was given to Fairy Zhou. I thank Fairy Zhou for taking care of her all the time. If it weren't for you, I wouldn't have been able to take it. Ranked first in the alchemy test."
"Awesome, Lu Chen." Zhou Zhiruo picked up the divine fruit and observed it, then praised: "You can even steal such a treasure, you have some skills."
But at this moment, a discordant voice suddenly came from behind her: "Did that stupid nine-headed bird secretly give it to you?"
Lu Chen looked up and saw that there was a woman behind Zhou Zhiruo.
This woman is 1.7 meters tall, with fair and supple skin. She is wearing a fiery red dress with a corset around her waist, which outlines her figure perfectly.
That face seemed to be painted, with exquisite facial features, and her charming eyes seemed to be electric all the time.
The moment he looked at her, Lu Chen's heart suddenly trembled, and she quickly turned her head away, not daring to look into the other person's eyes.
"Xianzi Zhou, who is this senior?"
Zhou Zhiruo smiled softly and said, "Didn't Xuanwu tell you? She is Suzaku."
"Suzaku!?"
Lu Chen's eyes suddenly widened and he looked at the other party with disbelief.
"S-Suzaku?? She, she can become a human?"
Because I was so excited, I stuttered a bit when I spoke.
"Little guy, have you never seen a mythical beast turn into a human? Do you want to come over, touch my sister, and feel the difference between me and humans?"
Suzaku hooked his fingers at Lu Chen, with his charming and silky eyes, as if he wanted to eat Lu Chen.
"Okay, Xiaoque, stop teasing Lu Chen. You just said that the Nine-Headed Bird helped them steal the magical fruit. What's going on??"
