Chapter 774: Clues to the Divine Secret
Lin Mu was flying at full speed, his mind racing.
In the Misty Fairyland, there were two clues. If this clue was true, what about the other one?
Of course, it was not necessarily false.
The Jieyin Jade Slip was so popular that there might be more than one cultivator selling fake jade slips.
But Lin Mu had already guessed the greater possibility.
The other clue was left by a cultivator in the Condensation Stage. If he guessed correctly, it was very likely that this clue was left by the liar on purpose to confuse him so that he could escape safely.
If so, this liar was really cunning and acted very carefully.
Lin Mu felt sorry for him. It was a pity that his great talent was not used in the right way.
Although the restrictions in the Jieyin Jade Slip were not very complicated, they were all Lin Mu's unique techniques. It was definitely not something that any cultivator could learn by stealing, but this liar in the Condensation Stage did it.
Even the spiritual imprints were almost exactly the same, so real that they were indistinguishable from the real thing.
From these details, Lin Mu could also infer that this cultivator was extremely talented. With only the Condensation Stage, he dared to sell fake jade slips and deceived tens of thousands of cultivators, including those in the Return to Void Stage. His courage and determination were amazing.
If he hadn't met me today, this liar would have achieved extraordinary success in the future.
What a pity.
Lin Mu used all his spiritual power, and the sword of his heart shone brightly, chasing forward.
After a cup of tea, he saw from a distance that a sword light was moving forward rapidly.
Seeing the figure of this liar with his own eyes, Lin Mu was very excited, and his speed was increased by one point.
Compared with this liar, his cultivation is already at the peak of the Condensation Stage, and the Sui Xin Sword can now be regarded as a super spiritual magic weapon. Now his spiritual consciousness realm is also at the late stage of Return to Void. When activated, his speed is no less than that of an ordinary Return to Void powerful cultivator.
Seeing that the distance is getting closer and closer, he will soon catch up with this liar.
Once he is caught up by him, this liar will definitely die!
However, what Lin Mu did not expect was that just when he was about to catch up with this liar, a burst of blood mist suddenly floated in front of him.
The next moment, the liar's speed suddenly increased, and it was almost the same as Lin Mu's current speed, and even slightly faster.
"There is such a trump card!" Lin Mu was shocked again. This liar has surprised him several times today.
A mere Condensation Stage cultivator actually has a speed of escape that is no less than that of a peak Return to Void cultivator!
Who can kill him among ordinary cultivators?
Even if he offended a Return to Void cultivator, he could easily escape.
Unfortunately, the person he met today was Lin Mu, a genius who was even more amazing than him.
Lin Mu was also in the Concentration Stage, and he did not use any trump cards, but his speed was comparable to that of a peak Return to Void Stage cultivator.
Although the liar used his trump cards, his speed was only slightly faster than Lin Mu's, and the gap between the two was not too wide, and Lin Mu could still follow him from a distance.
Such a trump card would definitely not last long.
Lin Mu was not panicked at all, and he still maintained this speed and chased steadily.
As expected, when the blood mist in front appeared again, it was obviously thinner than before, and the speed of the liar also declined slightly, and began to be equal to Lin Mu.
According to this trend, when the liar's trump cards are exhausted, Lin Mu will be able to catch him.
This is a life-and-death chase, and both sides have almost exhausted their strength.
The blood mist in front appeared again, but it became thinner.
Lin Mu, however, had a long lasting effect, and the distance was getting closer and closer.
The wind is as fast as lightning, and the meteors are chasing the moon.
Yandong City and Hongyan City are quite far apart. Even if a Yuanying stage cultivator flies at full speed, it will take two or three days to reach them. However, in this life-and-death chase, it only took two incense sticks of time for Hongyan City to be in sight.
The speed is so fast that it can be seen from one example.
Lin Mu is very fast, and he is more than 90% sure that he can catch this liar.
But when he is getting closer and closer to Hongyan City, a scene that surprised him very much appeared again.
This liar turned around in an instant and flew towards him!
What is he doing?
Lin Mu was very puzzled. Could it be that he saw that there was no hope of escaping and wanted to come back to fight me?
Little did he know that his speed of escape was too mediocre compared to his own strength.
This liar turned around and was completely seeking his own death!
One chasing and the other fleeing, Lin Mu chased for more than two hours, but he didn't catch up. But after the liar turned back, they met in just a few breaths.
With a flash of light, the two figures stopped abruptly in the air, less than ten feet apart.
Lin Mu looked at the green-clothed cultivator.
He was very handsome, but his face was as pale as paper at the moment, obviously because he had just cast the blood mist and consumed too much vitality.
"Why don't you run away?" Lin Mu now looked relaxed.
Compared with the desperate pursuit just now, he was extremely relaxed now.
"Since you can't run away, don't waste time and die quickly, instead of being beaten to death from behind like a stray dog." The green-clothed cultivator said proudly, but his voice was very soft. Perhaps he had just lost too much blood and was not strong enough to show his strength.
"I didn't expect you to be so strong." Lin Mu's eyes flashed with admiration, and then his face suddenly became stern, "You talk so nicely, why do you do such a bad thing?"
The green-clothed cultivator was silent for a while.
"You reacted very calmly when you saw me. Obviously you have seen the images in Piaomiao Fairyland, right?" Lin Mu asked.
The green-clothed cultivator nodded.
"In Piaomiao Fairyland, there is a clue that the liar went to Luoyuan City. Did you leave it?" Lin Mu asked again.
"Yes." The green-clothed cultivator replied softly, his voice was as soft as a mosquito.
It was true.
Lin Mu had guessed that this news might be deliberately misled by the liar, but he didn't expect it to be true.
At a critical moment, he could still make such a move. Escape is also a powerful trump card. If it were someone else today, this liar might have escaped.
Even now, Lin Mu is extremely puzzled.
This liar is about to arrive in Hongyan City. By then, as long as he blends into the crowd and changes his appearance, it will take a lot of effort to find him.
Why did he suddenly turn back?
"Do you know how bad the consequences of your actions are?" Lin Mu thought of this and couldn't help but get angry and asked.
He worked hard and smiled to lay the current foundation, but this liar destroyed it all in just one day.
"Why don't you kill me immediately?" The green-clothed cultivator stared at Lin Mu with a look of fearlessness.
"I'm not in a hurry yet, but you can't wait." Lin Mu suddenly smiled, "It's really interesting."
The green-clothed cultivator was silent again.
"If it were two hundred years ago, you would have been dead on the spot." Lin Mu said, "But now, my patience is much better than before. I will not take action until all the questions are clarified."
"Will you let me go?" The green-clothed cultivator's voice trembled, and hope ignited in his eyes again.
Lin Mu smiled and said, "Whether I will let you go depends on whether your next answer satisfies me."
In order to clarify these questions, Lin Mu decided to give him a glimmer of hope first.
The green-clothed cultivator nodded slowly.
"There are so many ways to earn spirit stones in this world, why do you choose to sell fake jade slips?" Lin Mu asked.
"I'm in urgent need of spiritual stones, but I don't want to kill people for treasures. I sell fake jade slips. Everyone just cheated him of 900 spiritual stones. It's not such a big crime." The green-clothed cultivator said in a conciliatory tone, "Of course it's wrong to do this, but at least I feel a little comforted." "I didn't expect you to have a conscience. 900 spiritual stones are indeed not a big crime." Lin Mu changed the subject, "But this is only for the cultivators you cheated. For me, it means something completely different. Your actions have ruined my reputation. I All my efforts before were wasted. Piaomiao Fairyland means everything to me now, and now it's all ruined by you. "
"Whether to kill or cut, it's up to you, I have no complaints." The green-clothed cultivator said, "If you let me go, I am willing to repay this debt with my whole life."
"Whether to let you go is not something that can be decided by a few words." Lin Mu said, "It depends on whether you cooperate or not."
"Even if you are in urgent need of spiritual stones, why do you have to make a fake reception jade slip? The restrictions in it are not easy to comprehend, right?" Lin Mu asked again.
"The reception jade slip has a good prospect and is profitable. The most important thing is that it has just been released not long ago. The cultivators in other cities have only heard of it but have not seen it with their own eyes." The green-clothed cultivator said truthfully, "My chance has come. As long as I deceive them a little, I can deceive these cultivators. I don't plan to deceive many people. As long as I make enough 100 million spiritual stones, I will stop. "
Lin Mu almost vomited blood.
For a mere 100 million spirit stones, his reputation was ruined.
He had become numb from receiving spirit stones from selling the jade slips.
"If that's the case, I'd rather give you 200 million spirit stones than see the result like this." Lin Mu gritted his teeth.
The green-clothed cultivator was silent again.
Lin Mu clenched his fists, wishing he could kill the green-clothed cultivator right now.
But he still tried his best to hold back.
"Did you act alone, or did you have an accomplice, or was there someone behind you manipulating you?" Lin Mu tried his best to calm down and asked again.
Cut the grass and root it out, this principle he understood deeply.
If the green-clothed cultivator had an accomplice, or there was a big force behind him manipulating him secretly, killing the green-clothed cultivator would be useless, without any effect, and would not solve the problem at all.
"It's just me." The green-clothed cultivator said firmly.
"Really?" Lin Mu looked suspicious.
"Absolutely true!" The green-clothed cultivator remained calm.
"Very good." Lin Mu said with a smile, "You cooperated very well, and I am very satisfied. If you can answer my last question, I will let you go."
The green-clothed cultivator's eyes suddenly brightened when he heard this, and his face looked even paler, and his body was shaky.
"Where did you get the "Star Refining Spirit Art" you practiced?" Lin Mu stared at the green-clothed cultivator, "Do you know the whereabouts of the second part of the "Star Refining Spirit Art"?"
