Chapter 719: Palm of Life and Death

After receiving the notice, Xiao Mu immediately rushed to the meeting room of the task group.

"Brother Xiao, you are here."

Feng Rensong took the initiative to greet him, looking very anxious and full of worries.

"Brother Feng, how is the situation?" Xiao Mu saw from Feng Rensong's expression that the situation was extraordinary.

"Brother Xiao, please sit down." Feng Rensong asked Xiao Mu to sit down first, and then said: "The situation is exactly as Brother Xiao said. In my Datang site, craftsmen disappeared in many places. It has been investigated. There are thirty-seven incidents in total."

"so much!"

Xiao Mu was surprised by the number of missing craftsmen. Thirty-seven craftsmen were missing, which meant that the Life and Death Sect would at least create thirty-seven statues and make thirty-seven hands in the Datang site for the rebirth of the Immortal God. Prepare.

This is only the situation that has been investigated, and there are still situations that have not been investigated.

Adding up all the circumstances, Xiao Mu estimates that the Life and Death Sect respects life for the Immortal God, and it is afraid that there will be no less than fifty preparations.

"Brother Xiao, please take a look, this is the newly sent missing craftsman information." Feng Rensong took out a thick stack of documents, put them on the table, and pushed them in front of Xiao Mu for Xiao Mu to read.

Xiao Mu picked up the information casually and read a few pages:

Zhou, a statue craftsman in Putuo, suddenly disappeared on the night of the 13th, and his whereabouts are still unknown...

Yan Mou, a statue craftsman of Changshengyu, received a business trip at noon on the 15th. He has not returned and his whereabouts are unknown...

Xiao Mu took a rough look at the information, which were all investigation reports sent by the heads of various domains.

The content of the report is very detailed, all of which involve the disappearance of the craftsman who made the portrait, and the way of disappearance is generally the same, either being invited to make a portrait, or disappearing suddenly.

"Hush!"

Xiao Mu took a deep breath, and put the document on the table casually, with a stern expression on his face.

The situation is much more serious than I imagined. The Life and Death Sect respects life for the sake of the Immortal God, and the noise it creates is really not ordinary.

"Brother Xiao, this information is just the news that has been sent. In fact, all domains are still investigating. In the next day or two, there will be news of the disappearance of the craftsman."

Feng Rensong's complexion was more dignified than Xiao Mu's.

The Life and Death Sect plundered the sculptors at the Tang ruins to prepare for the Immortal God to respect life. He, the acting leader of the task group, suddenly felt that he had a heavy responsibility on his shoulders.

Xiao Mu also felt a lot of pressure. After thinking for a while, he asked: "What about the temple building? Have you investigated the situation of the Life and Death Sect's temple in the ruins? Do you know where the Life and Death Sect built the temple? What about spiritual metals? Where in the site is there a large loss of spiritual metals?"

"Where the Life and Death Sect will set up a temple is still unclear, but a large number of spiritual metals have been lost. At present, news has come from Bodhi, Putuo, Jialan, and the ancient river in the east. One week and five days ago respectively. , There has been a large loss of spiritual metals."

While Feng Rensong responded, he put a stack of documents on the table in front of Xiao Mu again.

Xiao Mu stretched out his right hand and touched the document, but he didn't open it to read it. He already knew the general content of the document, so he didn't need to read it at all.

However, after thinking about Feng Rensong's words carefully, Xiao Mu still realized some problems, "The loss of spiritual metals and craftsmen mainly happened in the Six Western Regions?"

Feng Rensong nodded, "Yes, the Sixth West Region is the main area of ​​activity of the Life and Death Sect, and there are other regions, but very few. For example, there was a loss of spiritual metal in the Guhe Region in the East, and the Fourth Region in the East belongs to the Five Elements Sect. The range of activities, so we suspect that the loss of spiritual metals in the ancient river region has nothing to do with the life and death sect, but the work of the five elements sect."

Xiao Mu nodded. It doesn't really matter whether the spiritual metal was taken by the Life and Death Sect or the Five Elements Sect. The most important thing right now is to stop the Immortal God's rebirth plan in the world.

Otherwise, once he is reborn and successfully obtains the seal of life and death, no one in the world can be his opponent unless Lord Baifu is resurrected.

After thinking about it, "Brother Feng, have you found out about the specific activities of the Life and Death Sect?"

"Brother Xiao is looking for someone from the Life and Death Sect?"

Feng Rensong heard something from Xiao Mu's words, and thought for a while, "Futu Mountain in Bodhi Domain is an important spiritual metal mine. A passage was dug out, leading directly to the inside of Futu Mountain’s mine.”

"A large amount of spiritual metals have also been excavated in the past few days and transported out through this channel."

"Perhaps, this is the activity of the Life and Death Sect that Brother Xiao wants."

"Oh!" Xiao Mu thought suddenly when he heard this.

According to Feng Rensong, the tunnel at the back of Futu Mountain might really be excavated by the Life and Death Sect. Through that tunnel, the excavated spiritual metals were transported out, and then the spiritual metals were used to form the statue of the Immortal God.

And if that passage was really done by the Life and Death Sect, the members of the Life and Death Sect must still be active nearby, using spiritual metal nearby to make a statue for the Immortal God.

As long as you go to investigate by yourself, there is a great possibility to find someone from the Life and Death Sect.

After all, even if the whereabouts of the people of the Life and Death Sect are secretive and good at hiding their whereabouts, the ordinary people who were captured by them to make statues of the immortal gods can't do it.

Thinking of this, Xiao Mu made a decision, "I plan to go to ordinary people to see if I can find the whereabouts of the mutants of the Life and Death Sect."

Feng Rensong laughed and said: "If Brother Xiao goes to investigate, he will definitely find the whereabouts of the Life and Death Sect. I wish Brother Xiao a successful return."

In words, he is full of confidence in Xiao Mu's ability.

Xiao Mu humbled himself, then smiled and said, "Where is Brother Feng? How do you plan to deal with these incidents created by the Life and Death Sect?"

Feng Rensong did not try to be brave, "I plan to report the activities of the Life and Death Sect to the chief, and ask the chief to arrange manpower to search the entire Datang ruins. We must find out all the mutants of the Life and Death Sect who are active in the ruins, and stop them from doing nothing. The Immortal God is statued in the temple."

"Brother Feng's arrangement is better than I imagined."

Xiao Mu praised and stood up, "I'm going to Futu Mountain to investigate the back mountain passage and look for traces of the Life and Death Sect."

"Brother Feng is in business, if you need help, just let me know, I am also a member of the task force, and it is right to work for the task force."

Feng Rensong said happily: "If there is a need for help, I will definitely notify Brother Xiao. Here, I wish Brother Xiao a smooth return."

Xiao Mu said goodbye to Feng Rensong, returned to his residence to prepare, and then rushed directly to Futu Mountain in the Bodhi Region.

The Bodhi Domain and the Tang ruins are next to each other, and the distance between Futu Mountain and the Tang ruins is not too far away. Xiao Mu performed the five-element escape technique, and the five escapes combined into one, two or three hours.

Futu Mountain is a new type of mountain range that appeared after the world mutated. The whole mountain has a strange shape, and it looks like a pagoda from a distance.

The mountain is steep, and the area it occupies is not very large, stretching only about a hundred square kilometers.

Xiao Mu arrived at the foot of Futu Mountain and looked up at Futu Mountain.

The mountain body of Futu Mountain is uneven. Due to the rich mutated metal deposits inside, deep mine holes have been dug out one after another on the hillside.

There are many tents set up under the hillside, and many low-level mutants come out and go in from the mine from time to time.

A mutant who looked to be in his early thirties with dark skin and was in the middle of the fourth stage of Mortal Realm walked up to Xiao Mu, bowed his hands and asked respectfully, "Mr. Xiao from the ruins?"

"I'm Xiao Mu." Xiao Mu responded with a nod, and his eyes fell on the mutant of the fourth mortal realm, "Are you Li Yi, the person in charge of the mine?"

"It's me, Mr. Xiao."

The swarthy man Li Yi responded quickly, but then explained: "I should have gone out to meet Mr. Xiao, but the mine is too busy to be free, please don't be offended by Mr. Xiao."

"You are Welcome."

Xiao Mu waved his hand to show that he didn't care, but then cut to the chase, "The newly discovered passage is in the back mountain?"

"Yes, please come with me, Mr. Xiao, and I will take you to see it."

Li Yi greeted Xiao Mu to enter the mine.

This mine is very dark, long and winding, I don't know how far it leads, and the top of the mine is very low. After entering, it immediately gives people a feeling of depression.

However, Xiao Mu didn't care. Even if the mine collapsed, it wouldn't hurt him at all. With his current state ability, if he used his supernatural powers, he could even uproot the entire Futu Mountain.

Taking the mine cart, I followed Li Yi into the depths of the mine. The mine was long and far-reaching. After several hours, the mine cart reached the end and came to a messy mine area.

The mine area is very messy, there are traces of excavation everywhere, it looks like potholes, especially the roof of the mine, because of wanton excavation, it gives people a dangerous feeling, as if the mine may collapse at any time, Large rocks may fall from the roof of the cave at any time.

"Mr. Xiao, look, this is the place. If we were mining, it would be absolutely impossible to dig like this. This kind of mining may cause the mine to collapse at any time."

Li Yi pointed at the messy pits that had been dug, his tone full of anger.

Xiao Mu didn't respond to Li Yi, his eyes swept across the mine, and he couldn't help but nodded secretly.

In the mine pit, he sensed a weak force of life and death.

Undoubtedly, there were once mutants from the Life and Death Sect in this mine.

Even Xiao Mu suspected that this messy mine was dug by a low-level mutant of the Life and Death Sect.

"Go straight along this mine, can you reach the back mountain?"

Xiao Mu suddenly turned to Li Yi and asked a question.

Li Yi was taken aback for a moment, then nodded, "Yes, Mr. Xiao."

As a result, before he finished speaking, five colors of brilliance flashed in front of his eyes, and he heard the sound of the five-element escape technique in his ears, followed by Xiao Mu's voice, "Go back by yourself, don't wait for me."

While Li Yi was in a daze, Xiao Mu used the escape technique and followed the mine to the back mountain. After a few minutes, he came out of the mine and appeared in the back mountain.

The passage of the back mountain appeared directly on the edge of the cliff, facing a deep valley, the exit of the exit was narrow, and at the edge of this narrow entrance, Xiao Mu also sensed the weak force of life and death.

"Where are the people from the Life and Death Sect hiding?"

Xiao Mu murmured inwardly, while speaking, he used escape technique to get out of the mine, and soon reached the top of the mountain. He stood on the top of the mountain and looked around.

Futu Mountain was covered with clouds and mist, and the peaks and peaks converged, but it was impossible to find the target for a while.

"What would I do if it were me?"

Xiao Mu murmured softly, substituting his own identity into the role of a member of the Life and Death Sect, making judgments, "Because what I want to do is very hidden, and it cannot be discovered by people in the world. It must be kept secret."

"So, I will find a way to hide it, and hide it in a place where people in the world can't find it."

"But, is there any good hiding place near Futu Mountain?"

Xiao Mu thought about it, and after a while, he suddenly launched an escape technique, and escaped around the mountains near Futu Mountain.

While fleeing, he relaxed his mind and looked for possible space doors.

But unfortunately, after a few hours, even though Xiao Mu searched around the Futu Mountain area, he didn't find any space door.

"It seems that there are no space gates nearby, and the possibility that the Life and Death Sect is hiding inside the space gate can be ruled out."

"Where can I hide if I'm not inside the space door?"

Xiao Mu's gaze quickly fell on the belly of Futu Mountain again, followed by his gaze passing over Futu Mountain, walking up and down the belly of one nearby mountain after another.

After a while, Xiao Mu frowned slightly, "The people of the Life and Death Sect are likely to hide in the belly of a certain mountain, but they have the power of life and death to cover up the traces. As long as the entrance of the cave is blocked and the remaining traces are dealt with, outsiders will Can't find it."

However, soon, a smile appeared on Xiao Mu's face, "Maybe I can try to do this, I'm already the city god, and the city god, as the righteous god of the spirit realm, controls the life and death of all living beings in a place. , under the cover of the City God's authority, the fate of life and death is under my control."

hum!

Following Xiao Mu's thoughts, a golden light burst out from his body immediately, followed by a city god image rushing from his body and appearing on top of his head in an instant.

The city god stretches out his left and right hands, showing the book of life and death and the judge's pen respectively.

And as Xiao Mu's mind moved again, the sacred authority was immediately released in a ring from the whole body of the city god above his head, and began to spread in all directions with Xiao Mu as the center.

The feeling of controlling the life and death of the creatures in a place appeared in Xiao Mu's heart. Around him, under the authority of the City God, he immediately became familiar with the creatures nearby.

"Well, this is a mutated bird, this is Li Yi, this is a absentee from the mine, and this is another..."

At this time, Xiao Mu can clearly perceive the existence of any living beings nearby, and even easily control the life and death of any living beings below the real realm.

Below the real realm, even mutants in the mortal realm are not transcending life and death, and do not have the ability to live forever. When encountering a righteous god like Chenghuang who controls one party and controls life and death, it can be said that if you want to die, you have to die. Only by living can we live.

Ignoring the miners digging inside Futu Mountain, Xiao Mu used the Five Elements Escape Technique to move to other peaks, and at the same time used the authority of the City God to cover the peaks one after another, searching for the whereabouts of the artisans who were captured by the Life and Death Sect.

"There are also people in the belly of this mountain, one...two...three, three mutants of the mortal realm, two of whom are slightly lower in level, and are both in the second realm of the mortal realm. Huh? People in the five realms have the two powers of life and death, and they are mutants of the life and death sect, haha, I found you!"

In the belly of a mountain two hills away from Futu Mountain, Xiao Mu successfully found the trace of the mutant of the Life and Death Sect, and was overjoyed.
