Chapter 0671: Rogue Cultivator in the Clouds
Yang Chuang thought up some harsh words and prepared to reprimand Mu Xingqiu severely. This little Taoist priest was so ungrateful that he disappeared as soon as he was told, regardless of how much risk others took for him.
He misses the ordinary secluded life. If it weren't for keeping his inner alchemy, he would never leave his shelter in his life, and he wouldn't encounter so many bad things.
Mu Xingqiu disappeared not long ago, and came back when it was still far from dawn, but he was not alone. In addition to the inhuman head, he also brought back a banshee.
Yang Chuang was stunned and found that the words he had thought of before were not harsh enough. He had to get angry, but this was one of the things he was least good at.
But Black Phoenix didn't care. He stepped forward and bowed down. He smiled and said, "My little Black Phoenix is paying homage to the Taoist priests. It's a great honor to be in the same room with three Taoist priests. May I ask what your surname is?"
The bald man grinned, happy to be regarded as one of the Taoist priests.
Yang Chuang was stunned again. Mu Xingqiu not only brought back a banshee, but also revealed the identity of the Taoist priest. Anger finally surged up from the bottom of his heart. He turned his head suddenly and looked from the banshee to Mu Xingqiu, " This is the stupid thing I don't want you to do, you are not as smart as I think."
Mu Xingqiu smiled, walked to the window and took a look outside, "Sometimes 'stupid things' will come to the door on their own, and there is no way to avoid them. Have those humans been saved? Have you seen any rogue cultivators?"
Mu Xingqiu's calmness made Yang Chuang confused. He was not a strong-willed Taoist priest to begin with. He had lived in seclusion for many years and was not used to arguing with others. "Uh... those humans are gone. They should have been rescued. I haven't." Seeing the casual cultivator... No, please explain what is going on with this banshee first?"
Black Phoenix turned in front of Yang Chuang, blocking Mu Xingqiu just in time. There was still a hazy and ambiguous smile on his face, "Let me tell you. Tao Zun and I have known each other for a long time. We have fought together and fought side by side. It once reached the point of "meeting sincerely". Alas, I made a big mistake. I refused to believe in Dao Zun's strength and foolishly took refuge in Wangwang Mountain. I almost died at the hands of Dao Zun, but I narrowly escaped, but ended up falling into Dao Zun's hands. I have learned my lesson this time, and I will never betray him again. From now on, I will follow Tao Zun wholeheartedly, serving tea and water, going through fire and water, and never leaving Tao Zun."
Hei Huang faced Yang Chuang, but his words were meant for Mu Xingqiu, but unfortunately he didn't appreciate it, "You should stay away from me when you are going through fire and water.
"Of course, of course." Black Phoenix still looked at the old Taoist priest with a happy face, "I was wrong. I am just a stupid banshee. More than half of my demon power has been spent on cultivating this body. I am very stupid."
Yang Chuang frowned more and more, especially what the banshee said about defecting to Wangshan and betraying the Taoist. He didn't like to hear it the most. He walked around Black Phoenix and walked to Mu Xingqiu in a few steps, "She can't stay here. ”
"She is the leader of the Wangshan Demonic Priests stationed in Chaodong Town. If we let her go, our whereabouts will be exposed immediately."
"I swear to keep my mouth shut..." Black Phoenix interjected.
"Then kill her." Yang Chuang just wanted everything to be safe, and killing a banshee was no problem for him.
Just as Black Phoenix was about to speak, Mu Xingqiu already shook his head, "No, she is still useful."
"It's not a small use, it's a big use." Black Phoenix added, not showing any fear at all.
"You stay here." Mu Xingqiu said to Black Phoenix, and then said to Yang Chuang: "Watch her, she can use demon illusions and can contact nearby demons at any time. As long as you notice her casting spells, you can You can kill her now.”
"Hey, didn't Dao Zun just say that you should never leave me?" There was even a hint of coquettishness in Black Phoenix's voice.
"What are you going to do again? I won't guard the banshee for you... You have to obey my orders and wait for An Xiangxing to come back..." No matter how strong the heart of a Taoist priest is, Yang Chuang's words are a bit incoherent at this time.
"There is no time to wait any longer. Now that the opportunity has come, we must seize it." Mu Xingqiu nodded to the bald man, motioned for him to stay too, and pushed the door open to leave the house.
Too many accidents happened and too many decisions needed to be made immediately. Yang Chuang was completely dizzy. He watched Mu Xingqiu disappear into the night outside the door without any time to object. He turned to look at the skull and the banshee, and couldn't figure out how he ended up in this situation.
“Mu Xingqiu is a bastard.
"Brother Xiaoqiu is not a bastard." Bald Man said immediately.
"Yes." Black Phoenix nodded meaningfully, "But he is a very handsome and powerful bastard."
The bald man frowned and thought about whether this sentence was a compliment or a criticism, so he could decide whether he agreed or refuted it.
Yang Chuang didn't care about this trivial matter. Since he couldn't stop Mu Xingqiu, forget it. He would solve all the troubles when An Xiangxing came back. All he had to do now was keep an eye on the banshee, "Don't let me notice any spells. I will not show mercy to the demon clan."
Several magic weapons have been placed in the room, which are enough to help Yang Chuang detect extremely weak signs of spell casting.
Black Phoenix smiled sweetly, walked to the bed and sat down. He propped up the bed with one hand and looked at the old Taoist priest sideways, "Taoist priests are so good at beauty, why do you want to be an old man?"
"Yes, this is like a real Taoist priest and a real man, unlike some Taoist priests who care more about appearance than us poor banshees."
"Are you talking about Zuo Liuying?" Bald Man immediately thought of him, "You love looking in the mirror more than me..."
Yang Chuang sneered in his heart. After living for hundreds of years, this was the first time a banshee had tempted him. He wanted to see what this black phoenix could do to seduce a Taoist priest who had already experienced mortal fate.
Mu Xingqiu walked out of the town. Although it was midnight, the road was still busy. The demons gathered in groups of three or five, discussing the accident at the human flesh meeting and the upcoming war between the Sheshen Kingdom and the Shengfu Dynasty. However, they all shut up when a strange demon approached.
The demon soldiers and sorcerers ran around the town. They didn't understand why they withdrew their troops just now, but Black Phoenix didn't give any further orders, so they searched for human cultivators according to normal procedures.
Mu Xingqiu cast a little illusion and found that many demons were gloating. They were not particularly angry about the rescue and whereabouts of humans, and they were not very enthusiastic about the upcoming war.
He walked to a military camp in the north of the town, where a large number of humans were imprisoned. They were all prepared for the Hundred Days Human Flesh Meeting. There were local residents, and many were sent from other places. According to Black Phoenix, the entire Sheshen Kingdom was searching for humans, and after catching them, they were all sent to Tuoshan and the four nearby towns.
Mu Xingqiu was not here to save people. He wanted to see if the cultivators would come.
More than a hundred steps away from the military camp, Mu Xingqiu sensed the presence of a large number of sorcery. The sorcerers obviously thought that the scattered cultivators might take advantage of their victory to launch another sneak attack, and they had prepared traps.
Mu Xingqiu stood behind a small group of demons, pretending to listen to their discussion, secretly observing with his celestial eyes. The spells of the scattered cultivators were easier to see through, and he would definitely be able to discover them in advance.
The demons outside gradually dispersed, and Mu Xingqiu lost his cover. He had to slowly walk towards the inn and quietly expand the scope of the illusion to find the whereabouts of the scattered cultivators. This was a bit risky. If there were other big demons or magicians in the town, they would definitely be able to detect his illusion.
Mu Xingqiu found the scattered cultivators. There were several of them. They did not hide on the ground, but flew in the air, using a cloud to cover them, circling over Chaodong Town.
A cloud of smoke rose at the corner of the street and disappeared in an instant. Even if you had your eyes staring at this place, you couldn't see it clearly, and you would only think you were dizzy.
After performing the magic spell three times in a row, Mu Xingqiu reached the top of the cloud, just in time to look down at those casual cultivators.
There were seven people standing on the cloud. They also set up some restrictions, but Mu Xingqiu could still easily hear their voices.
The seven people were arguing.
"What are you waiting for? Either do it now or retreat immediately. Once the sun rises, everything will be too late."
"Since we want to save people, we should save them to the end. There are at least 500 humans in the military camp, and they should all be rescued. I don't think the sorcerer here is very powerful."
"The sorcerer retreated unreasonably just now, as if he was luring us into a trap. The military camp is definitely not a good place. We'd better not be fooled. Besides, how can we take away hundreds of ordinary people? They will be robbed and killed on the way."
"Then do you watch them die?"
"Now it's three against three. Qin Kun, it's up to you. You haven't expressed your opinion yet, and you are most familiar with the situation here."
"Well... what you said makes sense. I personally think that saving people should be thorough."
"Yes, that's what I mean!" A young casual cultivator shouted excitedly.
"Shh, keep your voice down. Although there are no powerful sorcerers here, you still have to be careful."
"Yes, keep your voice down. Let's do it now. Make a quick decision to avoid any trouble."
The seven casual cultivators flew towards the military camp together. Mu Xingqiu spoke above their heads, "You are so brave. You dare to save people."
The seven people were shocked and rose up at the same time, surrounding Mu Xingqiu. Then several of them exclaimed at the same time, "Master Mu! Is it really you?"
Mu Xingqiu recognized four people when he heard them talking: Hong Futian, a non-demon casual cultivator, and his apprentice Ouyang Luo, Chen Guanhuo, a casual cultivator from Lianhaishan, and another person who was not a casual cultivator, but a talisman master Liu Ding. He could not fly and had to be led by others.
There were three people that Mu Xingqiu had never seen before. When they heard the word "Master Mu", they all opened their mouths in surprise.
"How come you are here?" Mu Xingqiu thought it was a coincidence. These people should be in the imperial capital assisting the princess of Xijie Kingdom, but they appeared in a foreign country thousands of miles away.
Hong Futian replied: "We followed the Holy Talisman Messenger to Sheshen Kingdom ten days ago. We heard that Tuoshan was holding a human flesh meeting, so we couldn't help but come to see... Why did Taoist Mu come? The last time we got the news, we heard that you were still in the land of monsters."
"It's a long story. Don't go to save people. Do me a favor, maybe you can save more people."
The seven people looked at each other, and it was Hong Futian who spoke, "Do you want to save the Dragon Demon of Tuoshan?"
"Well, at least I want to see her."
"I'm afraid it's too late." Hong Futian sighed lightly, "We have reliable information that the Dragon Demon has transformed into a demon king, and the Hundred Days Human Flesh Meeting is just to increase her strength."
