Chapter 499 Lingxiao Sword Gate
After hiding his figure, Lin Mu moved forward cautiously.
Standing at the corner of the mountain, he secretly looked into the distance.
In the distance, there were three Nascent Soul cultivators, all of whom were at the middle stage of the Nascent Soul.
Lin Mu didn't know these three people at all, and didn't know where they came from.
"Could it be that there are other people coming to open up the Moyun Mountains?" Lin Mu was puzzled.
Before, he heard people say that the Moyun Mountains were extremely dangerous, and even the Condensation Stage cultivators didn't dare to easily enter the deepest part, and even some Condensation Stage cultivators died here.
The Sales Mansion Pavilion was very powerful, but it didn't dare to open up the land in a big way, and instead sent some Golden Core Stage cultivators to explore the way.
Unable to guess the origins of these people, Lin Mu didn't dare to show up immediately.
If these people were all sent by the Sales Mansion Pavilion, it would be a false alarm, and everyone would be happy. If these people's origins were unknown, he would be looking for death if he jumped out inexplicably now!
In such a desolate place, every cultivator who appeared here must have come with an extraordinary purpose.
Fortunately, Lin Mu's consciousness was already in the middle stage of the Nascent Soul. He tried his best to conceal his breath, and the three middle stage Nascent Soul cultivators did not find his trace.
In order not to alarm the three people, Lin Mu did not dare to use his consciousness to eavesdrop on their conversation. He did not quietly leave the peak until he saw the three people walking away.
Lin Mu could not help but become cautious while flying along the way.
He felt that the wind and rain were coming, and the air began to become oppressive.
Circling around the outer edge of the Moyun Mountains, Lin Mu wanted to find Renault and a group of pioneers. Now there were some more Nascent Soul cultivators who came from nowhere, and Renault and a group of pioneers were also in an unknown danger!
Lin Mu really hoped that he was overthinking.
But what made Lin Mu incredible was that he searched dozens of peaks, but he did not find any traces of Renault and others, and even could not find any traces of fighting.
Everything revealed abnormality, and Lin Mu was extremely uneasy.
He had high expectations for this expedition and asked Renault to come with him. If Renault got into trouble, all his efforts would be useless!
Lin Mu hid his body and searched around the outer perimeter of the Moyun Mountains.
Just when he had found nothing and was at a loss, a voice suddenly sounded in his ears.
"You are here. I have been looking for you for a long time." The voice was gentle and pleasant.
Lin Mu was startled, and then relaxed again. He turned around with a smile on his face.
Behind him stood a peerless beauty, looking at him and smiling.
It was Su Xian!
Lin Mu was pleasantly surprised and asked, "When did you come?"
Su Xian smiled and said, "I have been here for almost a month. You said you had something to talk to me about last time. What was it?"
Lin Mu said, "My friend Qing Niu was going through a tribulation before. His transformation thunder tribulation was the ninth heavenly tribulation, which was extremely powerful. I was worried that he could not survive it, so I wanted to ask you and Lord Ning to come and help. Maybe you were delayed on the way and did not arrive that day."
Su Xian said apologetically, "Lord Ning and I had already set out, but we encountered a difficult problem and were delayed on the way. I wonder if Qing Niu survived the transformation thunder tribulation?"
Lin Mu breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Thanks to God's blessing, he survived by chance, but he is still in seclusion and cannot come out. What happened to you on the way?"
Su Xian said with a worried look on her face, "We found a group of people on the road and had an affair with them. After a stalemate, Lord Ning stayed behind to deal with those people. I came to find you alone, but after I came here, I found traces of monsters undergoing tribulation on a sixth-grade peak. That should be the place where the green bull undergoes tribulation as you just said. "
Lin Mu nodded gently and asked, "What happened later?"
"That sixth-grade peak had long been empty and desolate, so I went to look for you." Su Xian said, "What makes me anxious is that I have been looking for you for a long time, but I haven't found any traces of you. I have also gone deep into the interior of the Moyun Mountains and visited many peaks, but I have found nothing."
Looking at Lin Mu, Su Xian smiled and said, "I was almost desperate and was about to return to Qianfang City, but I saw you here."
"You didn't find Renault and the others either?" Lin Mu asked in confusion, "You don't know where they are?" Su Xian looked surprised.
Lin Mu was shocked and said hurriedly: "The thunder tribulation was too dangerous that day. I rushed into the sea of thunder. In a critical situation, I fled the sea of thunder with Qingniu and recuperated in a secluded place. After I recovered from my injuries, I have been looking for Renault and others, but I have never found them."
Su Xian looked worried: "This is too abnormal. I have never found them. Could it be that something really happened to them?"
Lin Mu nodded worriedly: "It is very likely. I forgot to tell you one thing. When I just came out of retreat, I saw three inexplicable Yuanying stage cultivators. I don’t know where they came from. Did the Sales Mansion send anyone here?"
Su Xian hurriedly shook her head: "Not at all. Both Ning Mansion Master and I came here quietly, and not many people in the mansion knew about it."
"In this case, is the disappearance of Renault and others related to those three people?" Lin Mu said with concern.
Su Xian said: "Can you tell where those three people came from?"
"I can't tell at all." Lin Mu said truthfully: "Their cultivation is around the middle stage of the Nascent Soul, I dare not use my spiritual sense to investigate."
Su Xian's eyes flickered: "The group of people that I met on the road with Lord Ning were from Lingxiao Sword Sect, and the leader was none other than Zuo Hao, the Grand Elder of Lingxiao Sword Sect!"
"Lingxiao Sword Sect?" Lin Mu's face suddenly changed.
At the beginning, the four major forces went to Su Xian's courtyard and jointly threatened Ning Hong, as if they were sharing treasures, and wanted to take away his parents. This humiliation was deeply remembered by Lin Mu in his heart.
Zuo Hao, the Grand Elder of Lingxiao Sword Sect, was one of them.
"Those three Yuanying-stage cultivators are most likely from Lingxiao Sword Sect." Su Xian said confidently, "Prince Ning and I knew they were here with bad intentions, and Palace Ning even stayed behind to deal with them. I didn't expect that they didn't come in one group, but in several groups!"
"What did Lingxiao Sword Sect do in Moyun Mountain Range?" Lin Mu said, "Could it be that they also want to open up the Moyun Mountain Range?"
Su Xian nodded, "The business opportunities in Moyun Mountain Range are huge. As the largest sect in Qianfang Realm, Lingxiao Sword Sect is extremely powerful. Naturally, they will not sit back and watch the Mansion Pavilion dominate. They also want to get a piece of the pie."
Lin Mu said angrily, "That depends on their own abilities. To do something in secret is really not the magnanimity of a large sect."
Su Xian shook her head helplessly, "Zuo Hao is a vicious and cunning person who does whatever it takes. How can he be magnanimous?"
"Then is Renault's disappearance related to them?" Lin Mu was angry.
This Lingxiao Sword Sect repeatedly came out to stop him at critical moments.
Last time, when his parents were condensing their golden elixir, Lingxiao Sword Sect came and interfered, and his parents were almost dead. Now he is going back to condense his golden elixir, and Lingxiao Sword Sect appears again!
Su Xian said: "I'm afraid it's 90% true."
"Then what should we do?" Lin Mu said angrily: "Kill them? With the strength of the two of us, it should be no problem to kill the three of them."
Su Xian shook her head lightly: "If Renault was with you, maybe we could kill the three of them here directly, and no one would know. But now, if Renault is in their hands, any of our actions will pose a threat to Renault's life."
Lin Mu pondered for a moment and said: "The most urgent thing is that we must find the whereabouts of Renault and his party first, and then we can rescue them."
Su Xian frowned and said: "I have been looking for it these days, but I haven't found it. If I hadn't found you today, I would have thought you were all safe. According to what you said, Lingxiao Sword Sect really wants to confront our Sales Mansion Pavilion!"
Lin Mu nodded: "It's just Since they haven't torn their faces yet, Renault and the others should be fine for the time being."
Su Xian said: "But where can we find them in this vast Moyun Mountains? It is even possible that they have already left the Moyun Mountains."
Lin Mu shook his head and said: "If they really want to plot against the Moyun Mountains, they shouldn't leave so quickly. According to my guess, they want to use Renault as a bargaining chip to force us to agree to some of their conditions and profit from it."
"What you said is more likely." Su Xian said: "Then what should we do?"
"Since they set a trap for us to jump, they will definitely contact us later." Lin Mu analyzed: "But by then, we will inevitably be extremely passive, and all actions will be at their mercy!"
"Instead of waiting here passively, we might as well take the initiative to attack." Lin Mu made up his mind.
"How to attack?" Su Xian's eyes lit up and looked at Lin Mu.
"Take advantage of your opponent's strategy!" Lin Mu said, "They met you but didn't take you away. It's obvious that they are afraid of your powerful strength. It can be seen that their strength is not so strong that they can't compete with them. In fact, there are only three Yuanying mid-stage cultivators. If I take the initiative to show up, they will definitely come to catch me."
Lin Mu looked at Su Xian and smiled, "You hide far away from me and wait for an opportunity. Once they appear, you will take action to subdue them!"
Su Xian frowned, "This method seems feasible, but it's too reckless. You go as bait. If I come out and can't subdue the three of them instantly, you may die!"
"Defeat or even kill the three Yuanying mid-stage cultivators. As long as I give you some time, I am confident that I can do it." Su Xian shook her head and said, "But I don't have any confidence in subduing the three Yuanying mid-stage cultivators instantly."
"This is too risky. Let's think about it in the long run." Su Xian rejected it.
"There is no better and faster way than this." Lin Mu said, "Don't worry. In fact, I forgot to tell you that my current strength is no longer comparable to the past."
"No matter how powerful you are, you can only compete with the peak Jindan stage cultivators, or even defeat them." Su Xian said, "But Yuanying stage cultivators are stronger, far superior to Jindan stage cultivators, beyond your imagination."
Lin Mu shook his head and smiled, "After I tell you my true strength, you will agree."
Su Xian smiled curiously, "Tell me about it?"
Lin Mu smiled and said, "My cultivation is only inferior to Yuanying now, but my physique is already in the late Yuanying stage, which is stronger than those three people! My consciousness is also in the middle Yuanying stage, which is also not inferior to them. When Qingniu was crossing the tribulation, I suddenly realized and realized the fusion sword skills. With the sharpness of my life magic weapon, the strength that burst out instantly is not much worse than them!"
"You even comprehended the fusion sword technique?" Su Xian was surprised.
Lin Mu smiled and nodded.
Su Xian immediately said: "Then do as you say!"
