Among the Five Mountains, although the Songshan Mountains are not as famous as Huashan Mountains for their steepness and beauty, there is no shortage of hidden shelters among the vast stretches of peaks and valleys.
A gust of fishy wind flew through the air and landed on the top of the rugged hillside. The black mist gradually dispersed, and the centipede entrenched in it raised its head and screamed.
Sun Ling's body was distorted and twisted into an inhuman shape. It was also shrouded in black mist and fell to the side. With the series of explosions of the bones automatically shifting and recovering, the strong vitality made him start from his legs and move quickly. Return to normal appearance.
Click! !
As his neck, which had been twisted several times, quickly spun back, his face turned to face the night sky, and the moonlight shining alone in the starry sky was reflected in his eyes.
Viewed from this angle, the crescent moon in the sky becomes brighter inexplicably in response to the chirping of centipedes on the ground.
The hazy halo of water flowed down, eclipsing the light of other stars, and draped over the centipede like silver gauze.
The giant centipede monster gradually calmed down the restless evil power in its body with the help of the lunar energy in the moonlight.
The neighing sounds rose and fell, and after Sumu's soul hurriedly merged with the monster's body, some small discords were smoothed away.
The body of the centipede slowly shrunk, and finally became only about three meters long, but the hard shell on the body became much smoother and deeper, as if each section of the body was a pool of water as deep as a mirror, which could hide and contain the rising and falling waters. Evil and phantom.
Sun Ling got up from the ground, retracted his extra arms and tail into his body, and his body became smaller and turned into a human form. He cursed and said: "Granny, after that old man transformed into a tattoo, he was actually harder than me. He grabbed me by the tail and threw me several hundred meters away."
The smoke condensed into Sumu's upper body, which poked out from the centipede's head. The smoke-condensed palm touched the small universe bag and threw a set of clothes to Sun Ling.
Sun Ling took the clothes and used his strength to shatter the tattered trousers on his lower body. He put on new trousers and a coat, muttering and cursing in an unhappy manner.
He cursed and cursed, but never heard Su Mu's response. He felt a little uneasy. He coughed, turned around and said, "Taoist Master, you can't blame me for this. I tried my best to hold it off. It's really... Unexpectedly, the old bald man who was so steady and steady suddenly broke out without any regard for defense."
Su Mu said nothing and didn't even look at him.
According to their original plan, after launching the attack on Shaolin, all the Shaolin masters would be held back. Even if they were alert during the fierce battle, they would only think of protecting the Sutra Pavilion first.
After all, in a martial arts world, martial arts secrets are often the most important thing. Just like hidden figures such as the sweeping monk with high martial arts skills, they often only appear in the Sutra Pavilion.
And a place like Cemetery Tower Forest is an unprofitable place for martial arts figures in this world. Even the kind of blood feud that wants to dig up graves and whip corpses should still be done at the end of an attack, not at the end of an attack. During the attack, the main combat forces were allocated to do this kind of thing.
Su Mu's plan is to firmly capture the cognitive blind spots of local characters.
The abbot of Shaolin had to be wary of an unknown powerful enemy that released a horse of Yin Qi, and was entangled by Sun Ling. He would never dare to use his full strength in any direction to prevent a sneak attack.
By default, Taoist Sumu could have taken away all the bones, and then given the Shaolin abbot a hard blow. After leading Sun Ling to escape and everyone retreated, he could also launch a second attack while the opponent was relaxed. , stealing the scriptures from the Sutra Pavilion.
"It's really not your fault that it has developed to this extent this time. I can only say that we didn't pay enough attention to the enemy's reincarnation team. I didn't expect that they actually bought our intelligence before they came in to carry out the mission."
I don't know if it's because only his soul is pinned on the monster, but when Su Mu speaks now, his voice has a chilling tone.
While he was talking, he touched his palm and took out a small hollow ball from the Small Universe Bag. In the ball, an insect could be vaguely seen flapping its wings and buzzing.
Su Mu looked at the little ball and said, "What's the matter?"
The bug came out with a human voice. It was originally a charming and sweet voice, but because the bug flapped its wings, it seemed a little hoarse and distorted: "The Lianxin Gu on my body was agitated just now. It should be the Yin Qi on your side that surged and the evil energy condensed. , irritated it, it’s time for me to ask you what happened.”
Lianxin Gu is also one of the Heshan Dao spells. After mastering a pair of Gu insects, you can communicate at any time even if you are far away from the mountains and rivers.
Su Mu was silent for a moment and said: "My physical body was destroyed, so I used the method of killing seven souls and was promoted to four stars."
In a few words, he said that the hostile reincarnators appeared and bought their information, disrupting the plan.
"Oh? Those people have done a lot of preparation."
The person on the other side of the Gu worm was slightly surprised, "So, your plan to be on par with Leader Lingxiao in terms of combat power in fifty days is considered bankrupt."
For mortal creatures, if they want to advance to four stars, there is another requirement for their own spiritual light, which is to find a long-term persistence based on their own will and character, beyond the racial boundaries of mortal creatures.
The authentic cultivation method of immortality, such as Baiyang Diagram, requires this process to solidify the foundation step by step from human to immortal and carve out the light of the original soul.
Su Mu's soul is now possessed by the monster, and he has directly changed his race and become a human being. With the method of killing seven souls, he can also use the monster's origin to advance upwards.
But in this way, he didn't understand his origin deeply enough. He knew it but didn't know why. Naturally, his strength and potential after promotion would not be comparable to what he originally imagined.
Not to mention compared with Shao Lingxiao, he estimated that he was now a close match against Xu Miyuan.
Su Mu was already gloomy in his heart and was trying to suppress it. When Fux mentioned this, he became even more unhappy and said: "Although the frontal combat power is not as good as I expected, the Seven Kills Soul also has its own merits. , Feiyun is extinct, pure Yin is extremely poisonous, I am even more comfortable when using Heshan Dao spells, my movements between coming and going are unpredictable, not even two or three Xu Miyuan can stop me now."
"Ha, it's good if you can look away. I also think that it might not be a bad thing for you to be promoted directly with the Seven Kills Soul."
Fuksman smiled lightly, "Ever since you studied that book on Eastern immortality, you no longer want to be as easy-going and cunning as before, assuming a humble posture, and you don't want to really bear the pressure of the leader."
"I just want to take more dominance in the cooperation with the indigenous people and take advantage of it. That mentality is very detrimental to the mission."
"Last time in the world of "Big Sword", we pretended to be very good. It was because of your attitude in speaking that aroused Dinisha's wariness. Later, when the organization was destroyed, they burned the demon transformation first. Information related to the surgery. Otherwise, we can gain more."
"Looking at what happened this time, if you were willing to act together with Leader Lingxiao and the others, maybe you wouldn't be in such an embarrassing situation."
The night wind in the mountains blew closer, causing the black mist condensed into the Taoist's upper body to stir slightly.
Su Mu was silent for a while and shook his head: "Wuwei has not been pulled out from his body, and Yu Tu is not dead. In his eyes, Laojun Mountain is the absolute priority, and for me before, the body of the master monk is The most urgent need. There are many factors for splitting up operations, and it is not just about seizing the lead."
He paused and then said, "But you're right, I shouldn't be impatient anymore. For now, let's focus on Shao Lingxiao's side."
"By the way, how are things going with you in Chang'an?"
Fux said: "It went very well. Elder Jinghong's medical achievements are amazing. Although she does not have advanced technological equipment to help her study genes, she can understand the flesh and blood of demons from her own perspective, and she can fool those who The Fools Cooperation Test gave me a lot of inspiration.”
Su Mu frowned: "Ye Motian and the others are very concerned about this matter, but you didn't rescue her?"
"Don't be anxious. The old lady feels that she lives very comfortably and can wait until a more appropriate time."
Fux said, "In a few days, I will meet you first with the prescription. If Mr. Motian has any objections, I will discuss it with him in detail.
"By the time we meet, I should probably have reached four stars."
Their exchange ended with laughter, and the Gu insects in the ball became quiet.
Su Mu put away the Gu worms and waited for a while. The Huoluo Dao guardians who had dispersed and evacuated gathered at the place they had agreed on in advance.
Everyone was a little surprised when they looked at Su Mu's current appearance.
The woman holding a streamer, Helian Yaohua, is Ye Motian's wife. Although she is not one of the four envoys, she vaguely represents Ye Motian's attitude and will jointly command this operation with Su Mu and the others.
She took the initiative and said, "What happened during the operation? We didn't have time to receive the signal at the beginning, and then we hurriedly retreated. Taoist Su... seems to have suffered a loss at the hands of the Shaolin abbot?"
"There is an enemy in our sect who happens to be in Shaolin and disrupted my plan."
Su Mu laughed and said, "It doesn't matter. Although he suffered some minor setbacks, Pindao still cultivated a secret method that is equivalent to the master level in his sect."
He released a little bit of Yin Qi, and the thick, dark haze came with the wind and flowed around.
Everyone in Huo Luo Dao felt a pressure that could not be ignored at the same time, as if the dim haze around them was filled with eyes that could launch a fatal blow at any time, staring at themselves from all corners.
Many people's expressions changed slightly. They didn't dare to believe that this Taoist priest who suddenly appeared had actually achieved the level of a grandmaster among the few in the world, but now they had no choice but to believe it.
Several people who had suffered losses in Shaolin also kept silent now.
He Lianyao smiled and said: "Then I am here to congratulate Daoist Su."
"It's just a small matter, Shaolin will let it go for now and go meet the leader first."
Sumu lifted up the black mist and flew at low altitude one step ahead. Everyone rushed towards the Laojun Mountain area under the stars.
At the foot of the mountain, Xu Hongmei was already waiting quietly at the entrance of the hiking corridor.
Seeing Su Mu's current appearance, Xu Hongmei was also a little surprised, but she took two steps towards him and spoke first.
"The deputy leader has given an order. Please rest as you please. Taoist Su and Mrs. Helian will go up the mountain with me first."
The protectors will stop for now.
On the way up the mountain, Xu Hongmei quietly cast a spell and asked Su Mu about the situation. After a few simple replies, Su Mu asked about what was going on here.
"It went smoothly beyond expectations. Among this group of Taoist priests, the one who needs to be feared the most is not on the mountain at all. Ye Motian and Xu Miyuan didn't even make a move."
Xu Hongmei pinched her lower lip and said, "But then some unexpected things happened."
"After Yu Tu escaped, someone went up the mountain to gather information and escaped with injuries. The leader sent Xu Miyuan and those two to chase him."
"Just now, those two people came back and said that Xu Miyuan was dead."
Hongmei finally concluded, "Among the group of people who fought with Xu Miyuan, at least one could summon a lightly armored reincarnation. The person who actually killed him had no reputation in the country before, and he was also known as a reincarnation. Suspicion."
Su Mu said: "Three hostile reincarnations..."
After going up the mountain, Su Mu repeated what he said to Helian Yaohua, mentioning that the two unknown masters who killed Xu Miyuan were also enemies of their sect.
"We have alerted the snakes in Shaolin, but we have not been able to cause serious damage to them. They will also respond in the future. What is the leader going to do?"
Ye Motian accurately sensed from Su Mu's cover that his encounter in this operation was far from as calm and peaceful as it seemed.
However, after he turned into a demon who merged with a centipede, his strength has indeed taken a step closer, so there is no need to reveal what he concealed.
"The leader seems to have realized something, so don't disturb him for the time being."
Ye Motian was confident and said, "Just wait. Now we are no longer in the southwest, and we don't have a legacy that cannot be abandoned like we did back then."
"We are the one who takes the initiative when we return to the world this time. Even if we stop here and wait for a short time, it will still be beneficial to us."
As Shao Lingxiao's junior brother, Ye Motian has sneaked into Huo Luo Dao since he was a boy, preparing to annex Huo Luo Dao.
At that time, he waited quietly, and when he reached the position of deputy leader, he received the news that the Demon Cult had been surrounded and suppressed by troops.
Xu Miyuan was determined not to get involved in such a battle, so Ye Motian continued to wait until he had an opportunity to rescue his senior brother.
After taking control of the Fire Path, he could wait another ten years, not to mention the next short period of time?
"Our goal is not just these Taoist priests and monks, so we have to give them time to react!"
Ye Motian overlooked this Taoist holy land, trampling on one of the culprits of the demon sect's attack, and waited happily and relaxedly.
At the end of the sea of clouds, the east becomes white.
………………
It will be bright.
Guan Luoyang and his party entered Xiushuo City.
After hearing the news, Duke Wen of Han hurried from his residence. He was very sad to hear that Guan Luoyang's skills were completely useless. He also heard that he had just killed a grandmaster with one sword and he couldn't help but be dumbfounded.
However, Xu Miyuan's identity was witnessed by dozens of famous masters such as Wu Pingqiang, and the Eight Wind Bronze Drums that appeared on his body after his death, leaving no room for doubt.
The six generals Feng, Lin, Hu, Sang, Yin, and Lei from Xiushuo City gathered at Zhuang Guogong's old residence. They were already talking to Master Yu Tu, and Guan Luoyang and others were also invited in.
"Is he really that thief Shao Lingxiao?!"
Several generals with different temperaments were overwhelmed by the news, such as Laojunshan's annihilation of their clan, Guan Luoyang's killing of Huo Luo Cult leader, and the Demon Cult's resurgence. However, they quickly grasped one important point at the same time.
The faces of the six people all darkened, and they gritted their teeth.
General Feng suddenly laughed and said: "My dear brothers, why are you acting like this? Since this thief is not dead, that's fine!"
He turned around to go out.
General Yin quickly grabbed him: "Brother Feng, I know what you are thinking, but the Duke of our country died at his hands back then. Even if we want to take revenge, we must not act rashly. The top priority is to spread the news first." .”
Master Yu Tu took out a small thumb-sized seal from his belt and said, "Fortunately, the old Taoist seal is still there."
"With this seal and the joint signatures of six generals, the internal guards from various places can use the blood eagle relay to inform Chang'an quickly."
