Chapter 2276: One versus Five Outside Ghost Crying Gorge
As soon as this statement came out, he was immediately echoed by the middle-aged Taoist nun and the white-haired old man:
"That's right, I'm not a fool. How could I be stupid enough to keep coming back after discovering our traces? In my opinion, we'd better not wait here, so as not to waste time!"
"That makes sense. The one named Mo has to wait. Let's do whatever we are supposed to do. We haven't completed the task anyway, so we can't all be punished, right?"
.....................
Facing the complaints in the audience, the old man surnamed Liang frowned, as if he had something unspeakable to hide. He did not rush to express his position, but fell into silence with a slight hesitation.
It is true that he is not a genius monster, and unlike Mo Qing and Shangguan Yao, he has the support of experts or family behind him, so he must risk his life to obtain resources.
The reason why he became the leader of the team was because he had already passed the first heavenly punishment, and his strength was naturally the best at his level. However, his cultivation had been stuck at a bottleneck for many years, and he was in urgent need of rare and high-quality spiritual elixirs to break it. Otherwise, it won't take long for the second divine punishment to come, which will definitely be a fatal crisis.
On the other hand, as long as we can capture that kid, let alone a mere superior elixir, according to the wishes of the sect's senior officials, the path to immortality will be open from now on, and at least one of the core disciples will not be able to escape, so he naturally doesn't want to miss this time. Once in a lifetime opportunity.
So after being silent for a while, he had no choice but to calm down a few people's emotions, and gave some words of assurance by the way:
"Everyone, please be patient. You have been waiting for so long. Do you still care about waiting a little longer? After all, the superiors have issued a death order. If we return to the clan early, we will definitely not be able to escape the punishment of the execution hall!"
"But please don't worry, everyone, we can wait for another year at most. If there is still no result, it is estimated that the transfer order from the hall master will come. By then, I will be able to escape unscathed!"
After hearing this, the expressions of the three people present softened slightly.
Just at this moment, the wind whistled outside the cave, and then Mo Qing, a handsome figure in a white robe, strode in.
When the old man surnamed Liang saw this, he immediately asked with a smile:
"Haha! Did Junior Brother Mo gain anything from this trip?"
When the latter heard this, he shook his head and sighed:
"Alas~! Mo Mou has walked through several strongholds, and the other brothers have gained nothing. In addition, the incident in Black Dragon Mountain has caused a lot of commotion recently. Let the brothers be careful during this period, so as not to attract the attention of Yuding Mountain. ....."
Hearing this, the old man surnamed Liang couldn't help but be secretly disappointed. Then he seemed to have remembered something and couldn't help but hesitate to say:
"According to the original intelligence, Nangong Wentian was quite at odds with Young Master Black Dragon, and what happened to the latter in the Falling Star Region, in my humble opinion, could it be related to that kid... .....?”
However, when Mo Qing heard this, he sneered and argued:
"Haha~! Mr. Liang may be paranoid. I heard that the young black dragon master is protected by a sixth-level demon bird, and he also has two mid-term black dragon guard commanders. On the other hand, that boy is just a minor cultivator of the gods. Even if he is lucky enough to break through the realm this time, , and there is no way he has the strength to compete with Young Master Black Dragon, so the murderer is obviously someone else, so Mr. Liang would be better off not making random suspicions."
As soon as these words came out, the old man surnamed Liang said no more.
The scene also fell into silence for a while.
Xu Shi noticed something was different in the atmosphere, and with Mo Qing's eyes flashing, he quickly vowed:
"Don't worry, everyone. Based on my understanding of that kid, since the other party wants to quickly improve his strength and has managed to sneak into Yuding Mountain, he will never let go of such a treasure so easily, so Mo is certain that the kid will come back. , If we can capture him, it will be a great achievement! By then, you will be promoted to core disciples!"
Sure enough, after some eloquent inducements, the expressions of several people present softened, and they must have been very excited about the generous rewards of the mission. I am afraid no one would want to give up unless necessary.
Then several people conspired again, but the white-haired old man suddenly opened his mouth and said hesitantly:
"It's strange. It's been a day and a night past the deadline. Why hasn't Mazi Liu sent the message back yet? Could it be that some accident happened...?"
As soon as these words came out, everyone was secretly alert.
But at this moment, the wind howled again outside the cave, and then a ray of light was seen hovering in the air, landing directly and accurately in front of the cave door, revealing the figure of an old man with a pockmarked face. The dark hall elites tracked by the Holy City.
