Chapter 969: Big Reward

"Brother Xiao, I'm going to recruit people too, see you later."

Chen Ming took the opportunity to give Xiao Mugong his hand, and took him away.

"See you later!" Xiao Mu felt that Chen Ming was a pretty good person during the conversation just now, so he returned the salute.

"Xiao Xiao, did Chen Ming talk to you? What did you say?"

Huang Yuan suddenly appeared in front of Xiao Mu, and mentioned Chen Ming as soon as he opened his mouth. And looking at his serious and deeply guarded face, it seems that he has little affection for Chen Ming.

"It's Senior Huang, hello Senior Huang!"

Xiao Mu said hello to Huang Yuan. He and Huang Yuan are old acquaintances, they met a long time ago, so it is customary to call each other senior.

For other people who met later, even if their strength was similar to that of Huang Yuan, Xiao Mu seldom called each other seniors.

After all, his own strength is high enough.

Immediately said: "Actually, it's nothing. I just talked about cooperation. After joining the battle, if we encounter a strong enemy, we will rescue each other."

"That's all?" Huang Yuan raised his eyebrows, seemingly confused.

"Also, I just made a bet and agreed with each other to see who can get the seal of life and death. The loser will give the winner 10,000 high-level energy fruits."

Xiao Mu added casually, but felt strange about Huang Yuan's attitude.

It seems that Huang Yuan's vigilance towards Chen Ming is not as serious as usual.

Huang Yuan pondered for a moment, "It doesn't sound like a problem. But Chen Ming, you have to be careful. This person is very scheming, and every word and deed may be plotting against you. You have to be careful not to be fooled."

"No way?"

Xiao Mu was greatly astonished.

No way? Chen Ming is really a scheming person? Just now, listening to him talk, it was very refreshing, and straightforward, and never beat around the bush in every word and deed.

Would such a person be a scheming person?

Huang Yuan said displeased: "I'm at the headquarters and often deal with this person. How can I not know his situation? Do you think I know him or you know him?"

"this……"

Xiao Mu was speechless.

Huang Yuan is straightforward, based on his understanding of him, he should not lie about this kind of thing and deliberately deceive himself.

Could it be that Chen Ming is really a scheming person?

If this person is really a scheming person, what was the reason for the two things he agreed to after doing what he did just now and talking with himself for a long time?

Those two promises, at least on the surface, can't count against me, right?

"Xiao Mu, what Lao Huang said is right. That Chen Ming is indeed a man with a deep scheming heart. I can testify to this. You have to be careful to avoid being tricked by him."

Yan Qingxu walked over with several other people at some point, and suddenly spoke up, very serious.

No way? Even Team Leader Yan said that?

Xiao Mu immediately realized the problem. If it was only Huang Yuan who accused Chen Ming of being scheming, it could also be said that Huang Yuan had a bad temper and had a personal grievance with Chen Ming, deliberately belittling him.

But now, even Yan Qingxu said the same thing, Xiao Mu had to seriously consider this issue.

If that Chen Ming was really scheming, then the actions just now might not have been as simple as they appeared on the surface.

But, what exactly does this person want to do to himself?

For a moment, Xiao Mu felt confused again, unable to guess Chen Ming's purpose.

He looked at the people gathered around him. At this time, all his acquaintances had gathered, including Yu Wenen, Yan Qingxu, Huang Yuan, Zhu Fuchen, Zhao Yaogu and so on.

"Brother Xiao, what are your plans, join us in the battle?"

Zhao Yaogu looked excited.

He has a relatively thorough understanding of Xiao Mu's strength, so he naturally looks forward to Xiao Mu and his party advancing and retreating together.

Xiao Mu looked at the four of them, and wondered, "Aren't you going to join those people's group?"

While talking, Xiao Mu raised his chin in the direction of Chen Ming, Xu Lang and others.

"Don't join!"

Huang Yuan spoke again, with a cold face, "The headquarters will issue a credit book. For this mission, those who make meritorious deeds will be rewarded with great rewards."

"Otherwise, how could these profit-seeking people participate? You don't think they are really noble, do you?"

While speaking, he glanced at Chen Ming, Xu Lang and the others. Huang Yuan's eyes were a little cold. He obviously didn't have much affection for these mutants with backgrounds.

"Joining them is like making wedding clothes for others. In the end, all the credit will be theirs. What else can we have? Therefore, we rely on ourselves and enter the battle with our own abilities."

"Boy Xiao, come here too, join us and take care of each other."

With that said, he began to solicit Xiao Mu.

However, compared with other people, Huang Yuan is an acquaintance after all, so his solicitation to Xiao Mu was more straightforward and clear, without so much politeness.

Together?

Xiao Mu looked at Huang Yuan, then at Zhu Fuchen, Yan Qingxu, Yu Wenen, Zhao Yaogu and others. They were all his own people and had deep friendship with him.

Cooperating with one's own people is undoubtedly more reliable than cooperating with outsiders.

However, he couldn't cooperate with Huang Yuan and others.

At the moment, I had no choice but to decline, "Senior Huang, your proposal is very good, and I want to join you, too. However, this time, I have other missions for the Creation Pool, so I'm afraid I can only live up to your invitation."

"What? You have other arrangements? What arrangements?"

Xiao Mu's words surprised Huang Yuan.

Others were also surprised, Xiao Mu actually had other arrangements besides joining the battle, why didn't he have one?

"this……"

Xiao Mu hesitated. His so-called arrangement included not only Zhou Xuanmen's entrustment, but also his search for the other half of Yan Luoxi.

But you can't tell Huang Yuan, right?

"Ahem, Lao Huang, don't ask me any more."

Yan Qingxu and Huang Yuan have a good relationship, so he interrupted directly, not afraid of Huang Yuan's displeasure, "Xiao Mu said that there are other arrangements, it must be true that there are other arrangements, and it is not suitable for us to act together."

"Forget it, the five of us can still make meritorious deeds."

"If that's the case, forget it."

Huang Yuan looked at Xiao Mu with some disappointment. Without Xiao Mu, their strength would be reduced a lot. "After joining the battle, let's take care of each other."

"As it should be!"

Xiao Mu agreed.

"Xiao Mu, we have to discuss the course of action after entering the battle, so we won't be with you."

Zhu Fuchen greeted Xiao Mu, and the others also said goodbye to Xiao Mu, and then they all left.

"Brother Xiao, hello, I'm Xu Lang. I heard that Brother Xiao has been famous for a long time, so I came here to say hello. I hope Brother Xiao won't blame me for being presumptuous."

As soon as Huang Yuan, Zhu Fuchen and others left, Xu Lang walked towards Xiao Mu with a smile on his face.

"Brother Xu, hello!" Xiao Mu said casually.

Xu Lang smiled brightly, "Brother Xiao, maybe you already know that I am the disciple of Qi Gu Qi Yuan. Qi Gu Qi Yuan has a very good relationship with Zhou Xuanmen Zhou Yuan, so we are also our own people."

Yeah?

Xiao Mu smiled casually and didn't answer the question.

Elder Qi Gu Qi has a good relationship with Zhou Xuanmen, but it would be too much to say that he is one of his own.

It can only be said that compared with the Jin Yuan family, the relationship between the Qi Gu Qi Yuan Lao family and the Zhou Xuanmen family is closer.

But that's all, far from being one of your own.

Xu Lang seemed unaware of Xiao Mu's indifferent attitude, and said enthusiastically, "Brother Xiao, I'm looking for Brother Xiao to discuss cooperation with him."

cooperate? Cooperation again?

Xiao Mu felt a headache when he heard about the cooperation. The people sent by the headquarters seemed to really want to cooperate with him.

Just now, Chen Ming talked with him about cooperation, and now Xu Lang is here again.

This time, Xiao Mu directly refused, "I'm not interested in cooperation, Brother Xu might as well ask other people. Perhaps, among other people, there are people who need cooperation in particular."

"Ha ha!"

Xu Lang smiled, not caring about Xiao Mu's direct rejection, "Even if the others add up, how can they compare with Brother Xiao?"

"If you can get Brother Xiao to cooperate with me, even if all the other people cooperate with others, I, Xu Lang, don't care."

Xiao Mu didn't take it seriously, and didn't care about Xu Lang's flattery, and still refused, "Brother Xu really thinks highly of me, but I don't have the habit of cooperating with others, I'm afraid I will disappoint Brother Xu."

Having just experienced Chen Ming's incident, Xiao Mu was wary of these people in the headquarters, worried that they would be deceived again, so he directly refused and did not give them a chance.

"Brother Xiao seems to have a prejudice against me."

Xu Lang smiled, but was still not angry, "How about it, Brother Xiao, if you don't want to talk about cooperation, then let's not talk about cooperation."

"At that time, we will enter the Creation God Formation. In case we are in danger, brother Xiao, please see that we are in the same line of the world and lend a helping hand."

There is no problem with helping, and Xiao Mu has no objection. Even if Xu Lang doesn't mention it, if he really encounters a fellow human being in distress in the Divine Creation Formation, Xiao Mu will still save it if he should.

Nodding immediately, "I will help if I can."

"Thank you so much Brother Xiao. I think Brother Xiao seems to have a prejudice against me and is very wary. If that's the case, I won't bother Brother Xiao."

Xu Lang laughed and led the person away.

"etc!"

Suddenly thinking of something, Xiao Mu couldn't help calling Xu Lang to stop.

"Brother Xiao, do you have anything else to ask? Please say it's okay, as long as I can, I, Xu Lang, will do my best to help."

Xu Lang turned around with a smile on his face.

"Brother Xu, I'm curious about one thing. You come from the headquarters. Do you know what the headquarters will reward the last meritorious person in this operation?"

Xiao Mu seemed to be talking casually, but it was actually a temptation.

The headquarters has never said the reward for this operation, and he doesn't know.

But according to Zhou Xuanmen's statement, the reward for this operation will definitely not be low.

Otherwise, how could Chen Ming, Xu Lang, Gu Mei and others take the initiative to participate in the battle of the seal of life and death?

Xu Lang murmured, as if he was thinking. After a while, he suddenly changed to a voice transmission and spoke to Xiao Mu, "Brother Xiao, as far as I know, the grand prize will only be awarded to the person who made the first contribution in this mission."

"Only reward one person?"

Xiao Mu was startled.

If only one person is rewarded, it means that the rewards that should have been awarded to everyone have been collected and become one.

This also means that for this reward, the final winner's harvest will be greater, or even much greater, than that of meritorious deeds under normal circumstances.

Use voice transmission to ask, "Brother Xu, do you know what the reward is?"

"I don't know exactly what it is."

Xu Lang's eyes flickered for a moment, and he immediately restrained himself, "But it is said that this award is related to the righteous god's karma. The winners may be rewarded by the righteous god's karma."

Righteousness reward?

Xiao Mu's expression suddenly became weird.

Rewards for righteous gods, how could they be rewards for righteous gods?

This reward is extremely important to others, but to me who has already fused half of the Yan Luoxi and has clues to the other half of Yan Luoxi, it seems quite tasteless.

Unable to bear it, Xiao Mu continued to ask, "Brother Xu, are you sure? How likely is it that the final reward will be a righteous god?"

Xu Lang responded via voice transmission: "If it is absolutely certain, it is impossible, but at least I am more than 90% sure. I am more than 90% sure. The final reward for this mission will be the karma of the righteous god."

As he said that, the man smiled and said to Xiao Mu: "Brother Xiao is strong and has many means. I'm afraid he will win this mission."

"I, Xu Lang, wish brother Xiao a righteous god here in advance."

Xiao Mu shouldn't, Xu Lang's words don't mean what he said, the possibility of sincerely wishing himself is unlikely, he won't take it to heart.

After thinking about it, I felt that something was wrong. If there really was a righteous god, why didn't the veterans in the headquarters use it and become righteous gods? But take it out as a reward?

What Xu Lang said isn't quite right, is it?

Besides, Zhou Xuanmen warned first, and Xiao Mu was also skeptical of this person's words in his heart.

Despite this, Xiao Mu decided to test it out, hoping to get useful information from Xu Lang's reply.

Immediately said: "Brother Xu, isn't it right? If there is a righteous god, why don't the elders use it? As far as I know, the elders in the headquarters, including the Jin Yuan who is the head of the eight elders, are still gods. They are already the peak powerhouses in the late stage of Zhengshen Realm."

"Why don't they use it for themselves?"

Seeing Xiao Mu's suspicion, Xu Lang also smiled, and said sternly: "Brother Xiao doesn't know something now, you don't think that the rewards that the elders are going to give out are ready-made jobs?"

Xiao Mu was surprised again, and asked back: "Isn't it?"

"of course not."

Xu Lang said: "The career rewards mentioned by the veterans have not been given out yet. They will only be given out after the phoenix girl is out of customs."

"When Shenfengnv leaves the customs, she can control the Human Emperor's seal, and help the Human Emperor lift part of the seal, allowing the Human Emperor to recover further."

"The Human Sovereign who has been further recovered has recovered some of his strength, and the elders, you can borrow the authority of the Human Sovereign again and become a righteous god."

"So, for the elders, they don't actually need external tokens or status karma. They just need to wait for the goddess Fengnv to leave the customs, and then they can borrow the authority of the human emperor and come back to the righteous god."

"As for the career rewards mentioned by the elders, they come from the Human Emperor's treasury, and they can only be taken out after the Human Emperor recovers further."

"That's why I said, Brother Xiao, you misunderstood. The headquarters also has the authority of the righteous gods, but it can only be taken out as a reward after the Human Emperor recovers."

There is such a thing?

It was the first time Xiao Mu heard about the secrets related to the headquarters, and Xu Lang was shocked when he said the secrets.

Even so, he still didn't fully believe Xu Lang's words.

After thinking for a while, I couldn't help but said again: "So, there is no reward for this mission yet? You have to wait until the Shenfengnv is out of the customs, and then the elders can get it. Brother Xu, do you know when the Shenfengnv will be rewarded?" Can we go out?"
