Chapter 167 Meeting Mo Xiang (4k) (1/2)

Chapter 167 Meeting Mo Xiang (4k)

"Looking for someone?!" Ning Wuxie suddenly cried out, who?

"I don't know." Qian Shu's eyes never left Ning Wuxie when he spoke.

Seeing his reaction, she understood something in her heart, but she didn't show it on her face, but continued:

"I also heard from the third princess that the demons are very powerful, and each of them is about the Tongxuan Huahai realm."

"Fortunately, the third princess is even stronger, she has already reached the half-step Yuanying stage, and the Mo Jiao Saint Clan guards she leads are also royal masters."

"These people just let it slip during the battle, letting the princess know that they were looking for someone, and the other three princesses didn't know anything..."

Qianyu narrowed her eyes slightly, lowered her tone, and said carefully: "Lord Ning, the person they are looking for is not you, right?"

Ning Wuxie was about to change the subject and deny it tactfully, but changed his mind and said:

"It's very likely!"

"When I was in the Confucian School, I tried my best to target these demons and monsters, and I had a lot of hatred with them. They may have known my whereabouts and then took revenge!"

Ning Wuxie instantly changed to a look of indignation.

"That's why I found a place that can be completely isolated from the outside world to advance to the Golden Core, because I was worried that they would come to me."

"I didn't expect that they would vent their anger on the innocent Peach Blossom Snake Clan. They are simply inhumane!"

Qianshu was stunned when he heard this. He didn't expect that those monsters really came to kill Ning Wuxie!

Does this count as him indirectly killing the entire Peach Blossom Snake Clan...

Although Qianshu felt sad for the extermination of his fellow Lanyuan people, he was not so unreasonable. Ning Wuxie did nothing wrong, and he didn't kill the Peach Blossom Snake Clan.

The murderer was someone else, so Ning Wuxie couldn't be blamed.

"I understand, Lord Ning, you should prepare yourself and go out with me to see the third princess."

"I will speak for you when the time comes."

Qianshu nodded and said in a serious and low tone.

Ning Wuxie's heart sank, and he hurriedly asked what this meant: "The Third Princess is here? Then I'll just go see her directly, what preparations are there?"

"Also, what do you mean by speaking for me? Did the Third Princess blame me?"

Ning Wuxie was a little panicked. Mo Xin was the only person in the entire Lanyuan Dynasty who supported him. If she blamed him, it would be a bit difficult for him to get out of this situation.

"How could that be? The Third Princess has always believed in you, and has always believed that you didn't leave without saying goodbye."

Qian Shu's words made Ning Wuxie feel relieved, but his next words made Ning Wuxie's pupils shrink again:

"It was someone else. Lord Lu Qiong is here, and he will bite you to death for killing the entire Peach Blossom Snake clan."

"And His Majesty Mo Xiang, he is here too."

Suddenly, Ning Wuxie became alert, and Chi Lian beside him was also startled.

Mo Xiang himself! What is he doing here?

The last time I saw Mo Xiang was in the Li Mountain outside the Hermit Valley, when Bai Zhou was born.

He, Tan Taiying and Meng Cangran worked together to use the fairy treasure Langya Fan to help Bai Zhou escape the trap of the Lanyuan monsters led by Mo Xiang.

This also led to the Langya Fan being sealed inside the Confucian School until now, and it was not allowed to be used, just for fear of being recognized.

From the impression of that meeting, this Mo Xiang is not like a normal monster. Not only did he threaten the scattered cultivators when they entered the valley, but he also jumped up and down when Bai Zhou escaped, and the whole dragon was almost mad.

It really gives people a feeling of being possessed.

Ning Wuxie didn't know whether he would recognize him. It should be unlikely. He didn't confront him head-on throughout the whole process.

But after all, with this experience, plus Mo Xiang's attitude towards the human race in the court over the years, Ning Wuxie would not be naive enough to think that Mo Xiang came here to help him.

He glanced at Chi Lian nonchalantly, and the other party looked back at him. The momentary eye contact made Ning Wuxie know that the other party understood what he meant.

We must not let Mo Xiang know about Bai Zhou!

"I'm ready, let's go." He said to Qian Shu. Qian Shu nodded, jumped into the air on the spot, and turned into a big black bird.

Chi Lian turned into a small snake and wrapped around Xuan'er's arm. The two stepped on the flying sword and followed Qian Shu, and soon flew under the dark clouds.

When they came to the air, the whole scene of Taohua Mountain came into everyone's eyes more clearly.

The whole mountain has become a dead place, without a trace of life. The various colors that were once prosperous and bright have now been replaced by black and gray.

Not far away, at the foot of Taohua Mountain, there is a dark tent stationed, like a hard obsidian that suddenly grew on the ground. The flag of the Mo Jiao clan fluttered in the wind.

The sky above the camp is still normal, with blue sky and white clouds, not affected by the strange formation. Ning Wuxie saw more than three black dragons flying in the clouds. Two of them have already discovered their tracks, staring at them closely, opening their mouths and whistling softly, warning the camp below.

These are the royal guards of the Mo Jiao Saint Clan. Ning Wuxie also knew of their existence in his previous life. They are all Mo Jiao clan. Even if they are not of the bloodline of the founding royal family, they also have the blood of real dragons and strong bloodlines.

The purpose of their existence is to maintain the rule of the Mo Jiao clan. They are the most loyal royal guards in the world. After all, who can be more reliable than their own family members of the same clan and species?

Mo Xiang came in person, so the guarding work was naturally full.

"Your Majesty Mo Xiang does not like humans. Lord Ning, try to speak as little as possible."

"I will state the facts for you, and let the third princess deal with Lu Qiong."

Before approaching, Qian Thrush turned back and warned Ning Wuxie. Ning Wuxie nodded, and finally followed Thousand Thrush and landed in front of the tent.

In the royal camp, noisy and sharp sounds were constantly heard.

"Your Majesty, please hurry up and issue a wanted order for the demon clan to Ning Wuxie, and the whole country will hunt down this traitor!"

"He is obviously a spy sent by the Confucian family to murder our Lanyuan Demon Clan!"

Lu Qiong knelt on the ground. His fat belly made it impossible for him to kneel down and kowtow, but fortunately the demon clan did not respect these etiquettes.

The fat on his face was trembling, his face was red and his ears were red, and spittle flew everywhere as he spoke, hurting Chen Ning's innocent and rebellious heart.

"Lu Qiong, you're talking nonsense!" Mo Xin, standing in front of Lu Qiong on the left, patted the armrest of the chair and stood up, eager to defend himself.

"Ning Wuxie is not such a person. He has no prejudice against the demon clan, and there is no need to come to Lanyuan Kingdom to murder the demon clan!"

"Xin'er, sit down."

A deep and deep voice sounded. Although the power of the voice sounded a little weak, it made Mo Xin choke up and did not dare to speak anymore.

Mo Xiang was sitting in a chair in the middle of the tent. There were countless layers of furs under his body and back, and there were layers of heavy clothes in front of him, covering him inside. He was wrapped in a black cloak, and the hood was low enough to cover his eyes. The whole person was like a shadow huddled in the clothes, and his aura was extremely gloomy.

It was summer now. Lu Qiong was wearing a gauze robe and wished he could get naked. Mo Xin also put on cool clothes that exposed his arms. Mo Xiang's outfit is really weird.

The loose clothes concealed his true figure, with only his hands and part of his chin exposed.

But his hands were also extremely skinny, like mummies. There were only a few sparse strands of beard on his chin.

"No matter what, I will not let the Peach Blossom Snake Clan be destroyed in vain."

"No matter how weak it is from the Snake Clan, it is also the lord of a village that I, Lan Yuan, canonize. Such behavior is tantamount to starting a war with our Monster Clan!"

Lu Qiong was looking at Mo Xiang quietly. After hearing this, he immediately moved his knees and took two steps forward: "So..."

"So," Mo Xiang interrupted him, "then if Ning Wuxie is indeed guilty, I will definitely peel off his skin and suffer from the pain of thousands of snakes eating his heart. He will not be able to die."

Hearing this, Mo Xin hurriedly said: "Father, Emperor Mingjian."

But Lu Qiong still looked a little dissatisfied.

Just when he groaned and was about to speak again, a long and soft whistle suddenly sounded from the sky, which was the warning sound of the Saint Clan's guard.

Mo Xin was instantly alert and rushed out of the camp without any explanation.

A moment later, she slammed open the curtain and rushed in, her face full of joy: "Father, Ning Wuxie is back!"

Ning Wuxie, Xuan'er and Chi Lian were led to the emperor's camp.

Ning Wuxie was also surprised when he saw Mo Xiang's human form for the first time.

How could he be so weak and weird?

Isn’t it hot when you are wrapped up in clothes in the summer? And judging from the exposed limbs, they are too thin!

It's completely different from the mighty old dragon in Lishan!

"See Your Majesty." The three of them and Thousand Thrush knelt down and saluted.

"Get up." Mo Xiang's voice was cold, with a hint of displeasure in his tone.

"Thousandthrush, you speak first."

As expected, he didn't ask Ning Wuxie directly, but left him aside and asked Qianthrush first.

Qian Thrush truthfully told what happened when he heard Chi Lian scream, went down to see Ning Wuxie and the others, and brought them there.

"...It turns out that Lord Ning had made enemies because of his slaying of the Demon Dao when he was in another dynasty. This time the Demon Dao came looking for him, but he couldn't find him when he came to Peach Blossom Mountain, and he slaughtered the entire Peach Blossom Snake Clan in a fit of anger. …”

Qian Zhi said midway, taking the opportunity to explain to Ning Wuxie.

But before Mo Xiang and Mo Xin could react, Lu Qiong suddenly said:

"Are you sure? How do you know that it wasn't Ning Wuxie who took the initiative to attract the devil and cooperated internally and externally to annihilate the Peach Blossom Snake Clan?"

This statement immediately made Qian Liaowen stunned and started to falter a little.

"Lu Qiong, it's not your turn to ask questions now!" Mo Xin frowned and scolded.

Lu Qiong sneered and closed his mouth.

"Xin'er, now you ask." Mo Xiang said again. From the beginning to the end, he actually didn't want to talk to Ning Wuxie.

Hearing this, Mo Xin looked at Ning Wuxie again: "Ning Wuxie, why didn't you come back for six months?"

She frowned slightly and looked at Ning Wuxie with worried eyes.

Six months!

Ning Wuxie stayed in Lanyuan for a total of five years, and now one-tenth of him disappeared without even seeing the emperor. Anyone else would think he ran away.

But Mo Xin didn't think so. It was just because she felt that he was not such a person based on her interactions with Ning Wuxie, that's all. Mo Xin always relies on feeling when judging people.

But she couldn't completely convince herself based on her feelings alone, so she also complained and worried a little.

What on earth was Ning Wuxie doing? Why does it take so long to be promoted to Jindan? !

"Back to the third princess," Ning Wuxie said with full courtesy in front of Mo Xiang, "I was led to Peach Blossom Mountain by Miss Chi Lian, and I immediately asked Senior Hua Ke from Peach Blossom Snake to help me refine Huayuan Dan. Hua Ke After the senior refined it, I immediately hid in a space magic weapon and took the Huayuan Pill to advance to the Golden Pill."

"It takes at most one to two months to advance to the golden elixir. How could you go for half a year?" Mo Xin asked.

"Because I'm stronger."

Ning Wuxie said, making everyone present stunned. Immediately, Lu Qiong burst into uncontrollable laughter.

"Senior Huagao, he refined a holy quality Huayuan Pill for me."

Lu Qiong laughed twice and interrupted on the spot: "Boy, did you make a mistake? It's our demon clan's elixir beast that is strong, not you!"

"And the higher the grade of the Huayuan Pill, the better it can help the Golden Pill to be refined. You should finish it faster. Don't you think our Majesty understand?"

He was mocking and ruthless, and he didn't forget to put a big hat on Ning Wuxie in every sentence.

Ning Wuxie looked indifferent: "I dare not, just to explain it clearly and tell the truth."

At this time, even Mo Xiang, who had been shrinking in the chair, was shocked, and his head was slightly raised, revealing more of his face under the hood.

This young man is so crazy!

It's a pity that he was not intimidated by Ning Wuxie, but was thinking about how to scare and torture this young and arrogant guy. Let's see what kind of face this Ning Wuxie will have in a while!

Ning Wuxie's face was normal, and he continued as if nothing had happened: "Of course I understand that the higher the grade of Huayuan Dan, the easier it is to condense into Jindan, or a higher grade Jindan."

"In this matter, I did not disgrace the hard work of Senior Hua Fu and refined Tiandan."

Everyone looked calm. If he could not refine Tiandan with the holy Huayuan Dan, then there was something wrong with this person.

"And when I woke up, I had already ascended to the fifth level of Jindan."

"..."Everyone was silent, and Mo Xin's eyebrows gradually raised.

She asked: "What did you say?"

"Fifth level of Jindan?" The astonishment on her face was completely formed, "When you advance to Jindan, the spiritual energy in the cultivator's body is completely consumed. How can you still improve your realm?"

"Ning Wuxie, I remind you that although we are demons, the principles of cultivation are the same!"

Even Mo Xin, who always believed in Ning Wuxie, couldn't help but say this. This explanation was really too absurd.

"Haha! Your Majesty, you see, this Ning Wuxie is obviously a liar who talks nonsense!"

"Just like those human officials before, they can only talk! They treat our demon race as barbarians who know nothing, like to point fingers, and like to show their understanding of everything they see."

"Now this Ning Wuxie is even more excessive, he is treating you as a fool!"

Lu Qiong spoke very quickly, and seized this opportunity to make a series of suggestions to Mo Xiang.

Mo Xiang sighed, and it seemed that Lu Qiong's words did bring back some unpleasant memories. He lost the interest in humiliating Ning Wuxie just now, and shrank back into the chair and waved his hand.

"Kill him."

Just as Lu Qiong's smile of success, Mo Xin's worried eyes, and Xuan'er's gradually gloomy expression about to explode, Ning Wuxie raised a hand:

"Wait a minute!"

"Third Princess, when I left Canglong, was I at the peak of concentration?"

"Indeed." Mo Xin nodded.

"That's it. I am now at the fifth level of the Golden Core, guaranteed!"

Ning Wuxie bowed to Mo Xiang: "Your Majesty, I am sorry for the offense."

After saying that, the Golden Core in his body suddenly rotated and trembled, floating up and down in the center of the Dantian.

The nine true essences have now merged into one, merging into a sphere, which is the Golden Core.

But Ning Wuxie's current Golden Core is still a little different from the one in his previous life. His Golden Core is not like a round and integrated Dan ball, but like a sphere formed by nine true essences fitting together and fitting perfectly.

It's like an exquisite and exquisite ball.

After being promoted to the Golden Core, the Dragon Rising function that can instantly increase the burst is still there, and it is suddenly activated at this moment!

While the Golden Core is floating, it suddenly disintegrates violently, and the nine Heavenly Dao True Essences each leave their positions and pull outwards, and then suddenly close again, returning to the sphere!

It beats like a heart, instantly driving a more turbulent spiritual energy to burst out from his body!

Ning Wuxie knew that if he could not prove his innocence at this time, the ending would be more dangerous than good, so he released this wave of pure spiritual power without any reservation!

The spiritual power pulsed and exploded, knocking Lu Qiong, Chi Lian and Qian Que to the ground. The iron and wooden long table in front of Mo Xiang broke its legs, and the foundation of the emperor's tent was shaking. One or two nails flew out of the ground.

Only Mo Xiang, Mo Xin and Xuan'er sat and stood for two times, all standing still.

Ning Wuxie said nothing more, and clasped his fists: "Your Majesty, the third princess, both of you are seniors with profound cultivation. Let's see my spiritual power level. Has it reached the fifth level of Jindan?"

Mo Xin looked stunned. Although his body did not move, his eyes had already widened, and his pupils looked at Ning Wuxie in astonishment.

More than the fifth level of Jindan, according to her feeling, the eighth level of Jindan is just like this!

But she did not speak rashly, but looked at Mo Xiang, letting him make the final evaluation.

Mo Xiang's hood was blown up by Ning Wuxie's spiritual power, revealing his pale and withered face, like an old man with a terminal illness, except that his eyes were still invisible.

He remained silent, and after a moment, he slowly nodded:

"That's enough."

He was finally willing to speak directly to Ning Wuxie.
