Chapter 457: Faking Death
"It has been reported. It will take about an hour for the nearest envoy to arrive."
Lu Yeping had some doubts in her heart and couldn't help but ask: "Master, the envoy has been brought back, what are you going to do?"
"What else can I do? Just pretend to be dead."
With that said, Zhao Mu went to the ground. His whole body was entangled by the law of death, and there was no sound for an instant. His body was stiff, and there was no difference between him and a dead body.
Lu Yeping was amazed when she saw it. She went over to check it several times but found no flaws.
Even she could deceive him. With the strength of the messenger, he would definitely not notice that Zhao Mu was pretending to be dead.
As long as the messenger confirms that Zhao Mu is dead, he will immediately report it to the elders of the Killing Temple, and then the rest of the matter will be much easier to handle.
As for whether Zhao Mu was stronger than the elders of the Killing Temple, Lu Yeping had no doubt at all.
After experiencing such a miraculous thing as coming back from the dead, Zhao Mu's status in her heart has reached an unimaginable level.
After a while, Zhao Mu returned to life.
He pulled Lu Yeping into his arms: "It's still early, let's rehearse the process of you 'killing' me first, so as not to make the messenger suspicious."
Lu Yeping nodded shyly.
This rehearsal lasted for most of an hour.
It wasn't until Lu Yeping's body became limp and she was so tired that she could hardly breathe that Zhao Mu let her go.
Then Zhao Mu pretended to be poisoned and suspended animation again.
Not long after waiting, the censorship envoy from the Temple of Killing finally arrived.
There were three envoys who came, all of whom were in the late stages of the Tribulation. They were all wrapped tightly in black robes.
After arriving at the scene, the three of them remained silent and immediately gathered around Zhao Mu to check carefully.
After confirming that Zhao Mu's vitality was completely gone, the three of them breathed a sigh of relief.
"Lu Yeping, you did a good job. The assassination was successful this time. You can be recorded on the God of Killing List. The elders will be very pleased when they know this news."
Lu Yeping said without changing his expression: "I'm sorry to bother you all, but please inform the elders as soon as possible to hand over the task. I want to see my parents as soon as possible."
"Don't worry. This assassination mission is the biggest mission our Killing Temple has taken on in the past thousand years. The elders take it very seriously. You bring Zhao Mu's body and we will take you to see the elders right now. It just so happens that Tang People from the Tang family are here, you can take this opportunity to establish a good relationship with the Tang family, which will be of great benefit to your future. "
"Miss Lu, with your strength and means, you may be able to be promoted to the elder level soon. Then we will have to rely on you for your support."
"That's natural." Lu Yeping cupped her hands, took Zhao Mu's 'body' and flew away with the three envoys.
An hour later.
To the west of Jiangnan, away from the source of the river, is a deep and lush swamp.
After passing through layers of formation barriers, Lu Yeping entered an old underground palace hidden deep underground.
This place was once the tomb of an ancient hero. After it was discovered and occupied by the Temple of Slayer, it was transformed into a temporary stronghold.
Deep in the cold underground palace, the lights are brightly lit and the atmosphere is lively.
Two middle-aged men were changing cups and cups, chatting happily.
One of them was a representative of the Tang family who attended the auction on Nanhua Mountain.
His name is Tang Fengyue, a direct descendant of the Tang family and the great-great-grandson of the ancestor of the Tang family. Although his talent is mediocre, thanks to the love of the ancestor of the Tang family and the nourishment of a large amount of elixir resources, his cultivation has reached the seventh level of transcending tribulation.
The other person was wearing a silver-white robe, with a slightly older face, white hair, blue eyes, and a hooked nose. Although he was a human, he exuded a strong demonic aura. He was obviously a hybrid of human and demon.
His name is Qi Yunxiao, the third elder of the Killing Temple.
Although this name is not well-known in the Xianwu Continent today, thousands of years ago, because of his natural sword body, he was recruited into the Sword Immortal Pavilion and became a disciple of the Sword God Quliu. He even had the opportunity to be promoted to the Saint Son and become The successor of Sword Immortal Pavilion.
But later, because he was too murderous, he killed many monks just to test the sword. In order to pursue the most powerful sword power, he even used his beloved junior sister to test the sword. After being discovered by the sword god Qu Liu, he abolished his practice in anger. In order to expel him from the Sword Immortal Pavilion.
Later, Qi Yunxiao wandered into the Forest of Ten Thousand Demons, and by some unknown chance, not only did he recover his cultivation after a thousand years, but he even touched the threshold of the heavenly and human realm, and is now a strong man quasi-celestial and human realm.
Tang Fengyue mainly played the image of a second-generation playboy, with her legs crossed and lying on the maid next to her. She took a big sip of wine and burped: "Brother Qi, we met in the Forest of Ten Thousand Monsters. At that time, you You saved my life, and I still remember your kindness. If you calculate carefully, it must have been hundreds of years. I know your temper and character very well, so I have always wanted to ask you a question. When will you prepare to repay the past with the sword Shenquliu? The revenge of expulsion from Sword Immortal Pavilion?"
Qi Yunxiao put down the wine glass in his hand, and after a moment of silence, he slowly said: "I once thought that with my talent and strength, it would be easy to enter the realm of heaven and man, but the reality is not what I expected. Although I have touched the threshold of heaven and man, But this last step has never been surpassed. Now there is not much life left, and I am afraid that it will be difficult to achieve what I want in my lifetime. "
"Brother Qi, it's not that I'm telling you, you're just too stubborn. The Ghost Dao Sect offered you such generous offers, but you refused them without hesitation. If you had chosen the Ghost Dao Sect instead of the Killing God's Temple, you would definitely not be able to do so now. Can be promoted to the rank of Hades.”
Qi Yunxiao shook his head: "The sword path I pursue, even the sword path of the strongest Yang, cannot tolerate any flaws. The Ghost Dao Sect is too dark and treacherous. It is better to store my killing sword in the Temple of God Killing."
When it comes to this, Tang Fengyue sits up angrily, with a fierce look on his face: "It's all the fault of that damn Zhao Mu. If he hadn't interfered, the Pure Yang Immortal Pill would have been in my hands. I originally planned to give this immortal pill to you, Brother Qi. With this immortal pill, you will have a smooth journey to break through the Heavenly Man Realm."
Qi Yunxiao was about to speak, but suddenly realized something and said, "Come in."
Soon, the stone door of the stone chamber opened, and three messengers and Lu Yeping came in together.
"Greetings to the third elder, we brought Lu Yeping here to report that the leader of the Demon Sect, Zhao Mu, has been successfully killed!"
Lu Yeping didn't waste any words and went straight forward to put Zhao Mu's "corpse" on the table.
"It's true, it's this guy!"
Tang Fengyue suddenly jumped up, and ran forward excitedly to check, confirming that the body on the ground was undoubtedly Zhao Mu.
He immediately laughed up to the sky: "I'm really happy, Zhao Mu, Zhao Mu, where did your arrogant face go on that day on Nanhua Mountain? What if you are the leader of the Demon Sect, and what if the Queen Xuanji takes a fancy to you? I don't even need to do it myself if I want to kill you!"
He couldn't help but raise the wine pot and took a big gulp.
"It's so refreshing, so refreshing!"
"This is the end of you offending my Tang family!"
"What a bullshit genius, not worth mentioning at all!"
Qi Yunxiao frowned suddenly, sensing a hint of danger.
