Chapter 882: The Clock of Life and Death
Zhu Ping hesitated, "What brother Mu said...is unknown for now, I will investigate as soon as possible to find out why Taicang killed Master Ruiwei."
Whoosh whoosh!
The sound of the escape technique suddenly sounded, and the five-color escape light suddenly brightened from far to near, and stopped when it reached the vicinity.
"Who? Stop!"
The voice of the guards of the village protection team came from outside the courtyard, and someone stood up to stop the comers.
"We are the veterans of the alliance, come to investigate the situation of the deceased, please get out of the way!"
The old man's voice outside the courtyard made Xiao Mu smile. It was Huang Yuan, and he knew it was Huang Yuan who spoke just now.
"Three elders, please come in!" The village guard's respectful voice came from outside the courtyard again, apparently already knowing the identity of the visitor.
Zhu Ping looked at Xiao Mu anxiously. The status of the veteran of the alliance is very important. Since he came in person, he, a member of the village protection team, should greet him in person.
Xiao Mu understood Zhu Ping's thoughts and nodded at him, "Tell the veterans of the alliance that there are old people waiting in the room, so you don't have to come in. I have something to discuss with these three veterans of the alliance alone."
"Yes, Brother Mu!"
Zhu Ping respectfully agreed, exited the room, and went to greet Huang Yuan and the others.
Then, Xiao Mu heard Zhu Ping's respectful and polite voice greeting Huang Yuan and the others, "Three elders, there is an old friend waiting in the room, please come in!"
"Old friend? Who? Whose old friend? Why didn't you come out to greet him directly?" Huang Yuan's direct complaints came into the room, and with the sound of the wind ripping his clothes, three people entered the room one after another.
"Old Huang Yuan, long time no see!"
While talking, Xiao Mu showed his true colors, and at the same time, he shot a ball of five-element power towards the room, and the five-element power diffused, sealing off the whole room, so that people outside could not hear the voice inside.
"And Brother Yu, long time no see, everything is well? This is Team Leader Zhu Fuchen, right? Nice to meet you!"
Xiao Mu greeted the three of them calmly.
"Xiao Mu, is that you?" Huang Yuan was a little surprised, he didn't expect to see Xiao Mu here.
"Brother Xiao, it's you. It's been a long time. I'm fine, and Brother Xiao looks good!" Yu Wenen cupped his hands at Xiao Mu.
"You're Xiao Mu, right? I'm Zhu Fuchen. I've heard of you for a long time. Hehe, this is the first time I've seen you today. It's really different!" Zhu Fuchen, the leader of the foreign affairs team of the alliance, was quite curious about Xiao Mu. Xiao Mu looked at it carefully.
"Boy Xiao, why are you here?"
Huang Yuan spoke as bluntly as ever, and went straight to the point. After saying hello, he directly asked Xiao Mu why he came.
Xiao Mu said: "My purpose is the same as the three, it is related to the murder case in Mulin Village."
Saying that, Xiao Mu turned his head to look at the corpse of Array Master Rui Wei.
"It's late, but unfortunately, Taicang's attack is really fast and ruthless. This person's strength is too low, otherwise, maybe he can hang around for a while and win a chance for us."
Huang Yuan shook his head while talking, looking at Rui Wei's body, he looked extremely sorry.
Xiao Muqi said: "Senior Huang, how do you know that this person was killed by Tai Cang?"
Huang Yuan glared, "Nonsense, we have been tracking Taicang and monitoring his tracks, of course we know that he killed him."
Xiao Mu felt a bit embarrassed, but knew that Huang Yuan had this kind of personality, so he didn't care, and then asked: "Does senior know why Tai Cang killed this formation master Rui Wei?"
"Ahem!"
Zhu Fuchen interrupted Huang Yuan before he glared again and was about to speak again, and took the words away, "Let me tell you, we don't know who Taicang is going to kill, and who is this Master Ruiwei, It's just tracking Taicang."
I see!
Xiao Mu nodded. Huang Yuan, Zhu Fuchen, and Yu Wenen had already known about Huang Yuan, Zhu Fuchen, and Yu Wenen's hunting and killing of Tai Cang from the alliance's information affairs announcement, but now he was more certain about the three of them's movements.
"I'm also hunting Taicang. If the three of you have any information about Taicang, please let me know."
"You? Alone?" Huang Yuan took the words again in disbelief.
Having had confrontation experience with Tai Cang, he knew how difficult this person was to deal with, and couldn't help wondering whether Xiao Mu's approach was correct.
Xiao Mu knew exactly what Huang Yuan was thinking, glanced at him, and asked nonchalantly, "I remember it's been a long time since we met last time. I haven't seen you for such a long time. How much has Senior Huang's strength improved?"
"this……"
Huang Yuan suddenly felt embarrassed and didn't know how to respond for a while.
Compared with the last meeting with Xiao Mu, his strength has indeed improved, but the reason for the improvement is because of the two treasures of Lei Gonghong and Eight Tribulations Silver Wind Crown.
But these two treasures were contributed by Xiao Mu to the alliance, so how could he take this as his own strength improvement in front of Xiao Mu?
Xiao Mu smiled, and took the opportunity to ask again: "How much does Senior Huang think my strength has improved?"
Huang Yuan was so embarrassed that he wanted to die.
Can this kid talk?
People are better than others, and compared with Xiao Mu, his improvement in strength is indeed insignificant.
At this time, it was only half a year since he and Xiao Mu met last time. In half a year, Xiao Mu's strength has risen to the peak of the Divine Spirit Realm, and he will soon be able to aspire to the righteous god.
Once you step into the Zhengshen Realm, you are at the same level as him. If Xiao Mu's various miraculous methods are included, the strength gap between the two will be unreasonable.
Xiao Mu secretly smiled, but kept his face calm so that Huang Yuan would not be caught off guard, and said lightly, "I have already made preparations to hunt and kill Tai Cang, but because this man hides so well and his whereabouts are secretive, I haven't seen him all this time." Find an opportunity."
This kid is here to hit people, right?
Huang Yuan, Zhu Fuchen, and Yu Wenen were speechless for a while, the three of them had gone through all kinds of hardships, and they had always wanted to hunt down the Taicang City God, but they couldn't.
"Ahem!"
Zhu Fuchen cupped his hands to his mouth, covered up his embarrassment with a dry cough, and said calmly: "Xiao Mu, if you can hunt and kill Tai Cang, it will be a good thing for the entire alliance."
"This person, Taicang, is a strong man in the heavenly court. He belongs to the true gods and has complete authority of the gods. In addition, this person has broken into the righteous gods in the human world. His strength can be said to be very close to the level of righteous gods." .”
"If you can kill him, it will not only be a blow to Heaven, but also increase my morale in the world."
"However, Tai Cang escapes extremely fast due to his complete authority. Once he is determined to be invincible, he will immediately use the evasion technique to escape far away. It is extremely difficult to kill. Do you really have the ability to keep him?"
Think I'm slow? Team leader Zhu, you know too little about me.
Xiao Mu slandered inwardly, and turned to Huang Yuan, "Group Leader Zhu's worries are very reasonable, but Mr. Huang Yuan should have the best understanding of my escape speed."
A trace of discomfort appeared on Zhu Fuchen's face, and he looked at Huang Yuan when he heard this.
It's not my business? I don't want to brag about your brat!
Huang Yuan glared at Xiao Mu, and faced Zhu Fushen's questioning gaze, he reluctantly explained, "Old Zhu, this kid's escape speed, well, let's put it this way, when he was only in the early stage of the Yin God Realm, he relied on Although the earth escape technique, the escape speed is slower than my and the old venerable's five escapes, it is not too slow."
"Now, his realm is higher, and he has also mastered the technique of combining the five escapes into one. So, how about his escape speed, you can imagine for yourself."
No way?
Zhu Fuchen's face suddenly revealed an inconceivable shock.
Xiao Mu's escape speed is so fast?
I don't know him well enough, if his escaping speed is really as old Huang said, the Taicang City God really has no ability to escape from him.
"I didn't expect Xiao Mu that your evasion technique is so powerful. If it is as Huang Yuan said, you should be sure to hunt Taicang. Lao Huang, Lao Yu and I are here to wish you success."
Xiao Mu's face remained calm, but his heart was extremely disapproving of Zhu Fuchen's words.
It seems that Zhu Fuchen and Huang Yuan still don't know enough about Taicang City God.
The power of Tai Cang is not only because of his fast escape speed, even if he is unable to fight, he is still able to escape. It is also because of the authoritative technique of "Extending Life" that he has practiced, which allows him to fight against the enemy even if he is on the verge of death. It can also be restored immediately.
Xiao Mu couldn't help but began to suspect that the reason why Tai Cang chose to escape under the chase of Zhu Fuchen and Huang Yuan was not necessarily because he was really defeated by the three of them, but probably because he didn't want to cause too much consumption to himself.
But there is no need to say this to Zhu Fuchen, Huang Yuan, and Yu Wenen, so as not to dampen the enthusiasm of the three.
"Xiao Mu, I don't think you are aimless. What do you want us to do for you when you tell us this?"
After being silent for a while, Zhu Fuchen suddenly asked.
As expected of a person who can be a team leader, his thinking is much more meticulous than that of ordinary people.
Xiao Mu praised secretly in his heart, and responded: "When the three of you encounter the City God of Taicang or have information about the City God of Taicang, please let me know."
"Notify you? Boy Xiao, I admit that your strength has improved astonishingly, but you underestimate us, don't you? Really think we can't kill Taicang City God without you?"
Huang Yuan suddenly expressed dissatisfaction, feeling that Xiao Mu had underestimated him, "Would you like to compare and see who killed the Taicang City God first?"
What's the point of fighting to win in this kind of thing? You really have the ability to kill Taicang City God, and you will let him escape?
Xiao Mu felt contemptuous in his heart.
Lao Huang was stimulated by what he said just now, and his self-confidence was greatly hit.
Xiao Mu, who knew it well, asked calmly, "The three of you may be able to kill the city god of Taicang together, but do you have the ability to deprive Taicang of the magic treasure? Do you have the ability to deprive Taicang of his career?"
Huang Yuan was speechless immediately, even Zhu Fuchen and Yu Wenen didn't know how to respond.
This guy is showing off on purpose, right? In the alliance, who doesn't know that apart from the emperor's seal, this person is the only one who has the ability to deprive others of their karma and divine treasure?
Among the powerhouses in the alliance, who doesn't know that this person has stolen part of the authority of the Heavenly Emperor and possessed the treasure of the Heavenly Emperor?
It is said that this guy has the ability to deprive the treasures and status of the righteous gods, isn't this too scary?
The Heavenly Emperor's Treasure is so powerful beyond imagination!
The thoughts of jealousy suddenly surged in the hearts of the three, but none of them dared to take the idea of the Treasure of the Emperor of Heaven. That is the taboo of Emperor Taijia, and the ruler is the main target of the Heavenly Court.
"That's all!"
Zhu Fuchen flicked his sleeves and spoke ahead of Huang Yuan, "When we meet Taicang, we will notify you. We do this not because we can't beat Taicang to invite you, but because we hope there will be more treasures in the world."
That's a good point, this team leader Zhu has a big picture!
Xiao Mu praised secretly, and cupped his hands at Zhu Fuchen, "Leader Zhu, let's make an agreement like this. Once you have any news about Taicang, please notify me as soon as possible."
Zhu Fuchen agreed and made another promise, but neither Huang Yuan nor Yu Wenen expressed any objection to Zhu Fuchen's decision.
After saying goodbye to Zhu Fuchen and Huang Yuan, Xiao Mu left the murder scene.
Back at the residence, Xiao Mu continued to practice and improve his strength, while waiting for the information collected by Zhu Fuchen, Huang Yuan and the village guard team.
He couldn't wait to hunt and kill Taicang City God. But before that, the most important thing is still to find ways to improve strength.
Three days later, Xiao Mu, who was practicing, was woken up by the ringing of her mobile phone.
"Xiao Mu, I'm here."
Zun's face appeared on the phone screen, and his words were as gentle as ever.
Xiao Mu said courteously: "Senior, you have arrived at Mulin Village, do you need me to pick you up, and where do you plan to stay?"
Zun chuckled, "I'm on my way to meet Elder Zhou, if it's convenient for you, it's good to come over and meet."
"Is it the camp of Dalinyuan? Senior, wait a moment, I'll be right there."
Xiao Mu hung up the phone, left the house, and rushed to Dalinyuan's residence.
When he arrived, Zhou Xuanmen was receiving Zun.
"Xiao Xiao, you're here too. Just come to listen. Zun has brought some important information, which may be helpful to you. Sit down." Seeing Xiao Mu's arrival, Zhou Xuanmen was sitting on the main seat. He stretched out his hand to ask Xiao Mu to take a seat.
"Xiao Mu pays homage to the Great Elder, respect senior!"
After Xiao Muchong said hello to the two of them, he chose to take a seat bluntly.
This is a flat hill, and there are many artificial stone benches on the hill.
Xiao Mu chose to sit beside Zun.
Zun Chong nodded to Xiao Mu, and added with a smile, "I am reporting to Elder Zhou about the relationship between Emperor Xuanding and Emperor Taijia that I have inquired about myself, Xiao Mu, you came just in time, let's listen together. "
"I once participated in a gathering in the extreme north, and I heard all the news from the gathering. According to my own verification, all these news are true and reliable."
"Emperor Taijia, according to rumors, after the fall of the Heavenly Emperor, tried to control the Heavenly Court by combining the authority of the four heavenly gods in the Heavenly Court."
"Including the book of destiny, the seal of reincarnation, the clock of life and death, and the lamp of retribution."
"Among them, the clock of life and death is in the hands of Emperor Xuan Ding. Emperor Xuan Ding is the most timid and cautious person. After learning of Tai Jia's plot, he immediately stayed away from the core of the heaven and hid himself with a different technique."
"At this time, in the Heavenly Court, Emperor Taijia's first task, or the first task of the Heavenly Court, is to find the trace of Emperor Xuanding and seize the Bell of Life and Death."
Having said that, Zun suddenly glanced at Xiao Mu with a smile on his face.
Are you relieved? In the eyes of Emperor Taijia, you are actually not as important as you imagined.
