Chapter 863: Fang Zhen’s Disaster
Although Bilan City is the largest city in Tianniu Star, in terms of scale, it is naturally not comparable to other big cities such as Fengyi City, but it is also unique, especially in this city, no matter where you go, the air is filled with There is a faint smell of wine, which makes people feel a little drunk.
It can be seen that this place seems to be rich in fine wine, and the people in the city are also quite addicted to alcohol.
At this time, Cai'er flew out of the spirit beast bag, stood on Shi Mu's shoulder, and looked around curiously.
"Hmm...the smell of wine is so special, Shitou, since we passed by, we have to taste it." Cai'er took a deep breath and said intoxicated.
Shi Mu smiled faintly, nodded, and walked towards a large restaurant on the side of the road.
"My lord, if we want to find out the news, it's better for us to act separately." An Hua said.
"Alright." Shi Mu nodded upon hearing this.
From the information Shu Youjin gave him, although there are only two gods in the purple-eyed demon cow clan, the purple-eye clan is one of the ancient clans of the Eight Desolation after all.
"The young master will drink here for a while and rest, and I will come when I go." An Hua said, turned and walked towards the distance.
"Shitou, An Hua is a pretty good follower." Cai Er said as she looked at An Hua's leaving figure.
Shi Mu nodded, An Hua is indeed good, and he is considered loyal to him.
He is usually busy with cultivation, and he really needs such a person by his side.
"I think I'll leave it to Anhua to inquire about the news. Let's taste the fine wine here first." Caier shouted.
Shi Mu shook his head and walked into the restaurant.
The restaurant is very clean and spacious, divided into three floors, the first and second floors are magnificent, but the third floor is carved with dragons and phoenixes, which looks antique.
Each table on the third floor has a screen between each other, and flowers and potted plants are separated, and each other is almost an independent space without interfering with each other.
Shi Mu and the others went straight up to the third floor and sat down on a seat.
Then, a young man in a blue blouse who looked like he was in his teens came over to greet him with a smile on his face.
"Guest officer, it seems that you are a new face. Is it the first time to come to our Bilan City? Then you should try our special Lizi wine here, and I will satisfy you." The young man in Tsing Yi said articulately.
"Beaver wine? The name is very special. I wonder what it is made from?" Shi Mu asked with interest on his face.
"Guest officer, you don't know that this raccoon wine is made from a special kind of raccoon fruit. This kind of raccoon fruit is only found on the Lizi Mountain outside Bilan City. It is also rare in the world." The young man in Tsing Yi said this, with a hint of pride on his face.
"Really? If that's the case, why don't you bring us two pots and some side dishes." Shi Mu laughed.
"Okay, guest officer, wait a moment." The young man in Tsing Yi agreed, and quickly went downstairs.
After the young man in Tsing Yi left, Shi Mu's eyes moved, and he quietly spread his consciousness to listen to the surrounding movement.
There are quite a lot of guests in the restaurant at the moment, maybe they can get some useful information.
After a while, Shi Mu raised his eyebrows, and looked at a nearby seat, where the people were discussing the matter of the purple-eyed demon cow clan.
Although they used the sound-proof restriction, how could they hide it from Shi Mu today?
Shi Mu listened for a while, and frowned slightly. The people inside were talking about trifles, and the only thing of value was that they talked about the purple-eyed demon cow clan's upcoming grand ceremony.
"Guest officer, your food and drink." The young man in Tsing Yi walked over and served the food and wine.
"Okay, you go down." Shi Mu took out a spirit stone and sent the young man in Tsing Yi away.
"Guest officer, do you want to know about the purple-eyed demon cows?" The young man in Tsing Yi glanced at Shi Mu and said in a low voice.
Shi Mu's eyes flashed, and he looked at the young man in Tsing Yi with a slightly cold look.
"Oh, how do you know?" He said lightly.
Although Shi Mu didn't release his breath, a trace of coercion unconsciously fell on the young man in Tsing Yi with his eyes.
The youth in Tsing Yi's expression suddenly changed, and his body trembled, but he gritted his teeth violently and stood firm.
A trace of surprise flashed in Shi Mu's eyes. Although this young man in Tsing Yi was also full of true energy, it was only at the innate level. He never expected to be able to withstand a ray of coercion from him.
With a thought, he restrained his breath.
The young man in Tsing Yi breathed a sigh of relief, looked at Shi Mu enviously, and then said in a low voice: "The villain is also guessing nonsense, just now I saw you glanced at that seat from time to time, and the guests there seemed to be discussing the purple-eyed demon cows." so I took a wild guess."
"Your eyes are quite sharp. That's right. I want to know about the purple-eyed clan. How much do you know?" Shi Mu said with a smile on his face.
"The villain does know something, and I took a big risk a few days ago and overheard the conversation of a few members of the purple-eyed demon cow clan, and learned something important." The young man in Tsing Yi hesitated and said through gritted teeth.
After saying this, he closed his mouth and glanced at Shi Mu, as if he was waiting for something.
Shi Mu looked at the young man in Tsing Yi, with a hint of interest in his eyes.
"That's right, you're a little brave, you dare to bargain with me, tell me, what do you want?" He said lightly.
The young man in Tsing Yi was overjoyed, and said: "I would like to ask senior to give me an earth-level exercise that is suitable for me. This junior will definitely tell you everything you know in your heart."
Shi Mu tapped lightly on the table with his fingers. This young man in Tsing Yi seemed to be a casual cultivator, and his inner qi was mixed. It was obviously caused by the inappropriate cultivation method and the absence of any famous teacher.
With a flash in his eyes, he faintly saw some shadow of himself from the young man in Tsing Yi.
There was a smile on his face, he pondered for a while, flipped his hands and took out a jade slip, and put it on the table.
"Your physique tends to be earth-like. This "Litu Jue" is very suitable for you. The exercises recorded in it are enough for you to cultivate to the realm of heaven. Whether you can achieve something is up to you." Shi Mu used only the young man in Tsing Yi. The voice that can be heard said so.
The young man in Tsing Yi was overjoyed when he heard the words, and took the jade slip with trembling hands.
He immediately bent his knees and wanted to fall to the ground.
"Thank you senior for bestowing the exercises. I don't know if senior can tell you your name. This junior will definitely remember your great kindness forever!" said the young man in Tsing Yi.
"That's unnecessary. I gave you the exercises just on a whim. You should tell me about the Purple Eye Clan. I heard that they are going to hold a grand ceremony recently?" Shi Mu said, waving his hand.
A wave of potential appeared out of thin air, supporting the figure of the young man in Tsing Yi who was about to bow down.
At the same time, an invisible soundproof bar opened.
The young man in Tsing Yi stood up involuntarily, the envious light in his eyes was even stronger, but he quickly took a deep breath, calmed his mind, and said: "Reporting to seniors, it was caused by the sudden fall of the former head of the Purple Eye Clan. The past few years have been very chaotic, but recently the next patriarch has finally been determined, and the patriarch's succession ceremony will be held soon."
"The patriarch's succession ceremony? The new patriarch is Fang Ce?" Shi Mu said.
"It is this person. Although his reputation is not very good, it is said that the old patriarch passed on the position of patriarch to him, and the rest of the Ziyan clan can't say anything," said the young man in Tsing Yi.
"Oh, someone in the Purple Eye Clan opposes Fang Ce's succession as the patriarch?" Shi Mu asked with a flash of his eyes.
"Yes, but the villain is only based on hearsay. I have concluded this conclusion myself. I don't know who is against it, but it should be an elder first-class." Said the young man in Tsing Yi.
A trace of surprise flashed in Shi Mu's eyes.
This young man's analysis and judgment is very accurate. With his status, he can at most come into contact with some of the most basic strength of the Purple Eyed Clan, and he can analyze so much.
According to the information he got from Shu Youjin, the two elders of the Purple Eye clan did have a quarrel with Fang Ce.
"By the way, you just said that you overheard an important matter, so what?" he asked.
"It is said that a few days ago, the Purple-eyed Demon Bull Clan captured a defector and planned to execute him at the grand ceremony." The young man in Tsing Yi moved closer and whispered.
When Shi Mu heard this, his heart moved, but the expression on his face did not change at all.
"Oh, did you hear who was caught?" he asked again.
"The younger generation only heard a few words about this matter, it seems...it seems to be a person named Fang Zhen." The young man in Tsing Yi tried his best to think,
Although Shi Mu already had a premonition in his heart, he was still shocked when he heard it. From this, it can be seen that his previous speculation was correct, and Fang Ce was indeed in trouble.
And it's a big mess.
Seeing Shi Mu groaning silently, the young man in Tsing Yi didn't say anything, and quietly stood aside with his hands down.
"How much do you know about why Fang Zhen was arrested?" Shi Mu asked again after being silent for a moment.
"This... the juniors don't know." The young man in Tsing Yi shook his head and said blankly.
Shi Mu was silent, and then waved his hand, signaling for the young man in Tsing Yi to step back.
Young Master Tsing Yi seemed a little bit reluctant, after glancing at Shi Mu, he retreated wisely.
"Shitou, it seems that Fang Zhen was arrested by the Ziyan clan. This guy is really useless. What should we do now?" Cai'er said.
"Anyway, Fang Zhen can be regarded as my subdued person. In the next confrontation with the Heavenly Court, any force must win as much as possible. The key is to find a way to save it first." Shi Mu said with a sigh, thinking about various possible situations in his mind.
At this moment, a figure walked upstairs quickly, and his steps were a little hurried.
Shi Mu looked over and saw that it was An Hua with a dignified expression.
An Hua looked around, and soon saw Shi Mu and Cai Er, and walked over quickly.
Seeing Anhua's expression like this, Shi Mu's eyes also froze.
"An Hua, sit down, but what news did you hear?" Before An Hua could speak, Shi Mu said.
"Yes, I heard an important news. Brother Fang Zhen was arrested by the Ziyan clan." An Hua said impatiently as soon as he sat down.
