Chen Yao didn't know what she was feeling in her heart right now. She just looked at Chen Mu, her eyes trembling slightly.
The second brother who took care of her when she was young is no longer there.
In this year, the other 'second brother' who took her to see the scenery, appreciate the power of the great demon, see the vastness of the sky, and witness the power of the demon king, also turned into a dream.
"Can I... call you second brother again?"
Chen Yao looked at Chen Mu and murmured in a daze.
suddenly.
A fierce demonic energy erupted in the distance.
I saw four human-level monsters outside the city. I don't know when they connected with each other, and suddenly they all burst out with fierce power, struggling forcefully and rising into the sky in the monster light.
He did not attack the people around him, and he did not dare to take another look at Chen Mu. In just a moment, he fled in four different directions.
"Don't leave!"
Yan Nan couldn't help but shout loudly when he saw this.
Then there will be a chase.
Many other second-level martial artists also showed sharp eyes, including Shi Yan, who also looked over and were about to escape into the air in an instant and pursue him.
But at this moment, Chen Mu only snorted softly.
Didn't even look back.
Just this slight sound suddenly resounded through the sky, swaying silently, as if it sounded in everyone's ears, causing countless people to suddenly have an illusion, as if there was something suddenly
Spread out.
Immediately afterwards.
The bodies of the four escaped human-level demons froze in mid-air one after another, and the demon power erupting from all over their bodies also froze.
Then quietly, a clear line of blood appeared on the necks of the four great demons, and there was still horror and despair in the demon eyes.
Wow!
The demonic power collapsed instantly.
Four corpses fell from the sky.
Chen Mu did not look at the four monster corpses that fell from the sky behind him. He only looked at Chen Yao, suddenly chuckled and said: "Why does it feel like you have lost your soul all of a sudden? The Martial Saint will not be so shaken."
Chen Yao was startled.
Huo Ran looked up.
But he saw that Chen Mu had completely disappeared.
Only one sentence rang in my ears quietly.
"I wanted to accept you as my disciple, but if you want to call me brother, then you can call me like that."
It is enough to cut off the main cause and effect. Chen Yao's cause and effect here is more about the cause that he owes him. Chen Mu does not want to cut himself off and have no connection with this world just for the so-called cause and effect.
Now that he is in his current state, he can vaguely see that Xin Jian's future has two completely different paths.
One should be to use the heart of the sword to destroy the seven emotions and six desires, which is the ruthless heart of the sword.
The other is to train the mind in the mortal world, to pass through the seven emotions and six desires without being stained, which is the sword mind in the mortal world.
The former leans toward heaven, while the latter leans toward human nature. It is impossible to tell which one is weaker and which is stronger, because even with Chen Mu's experience, he cannot determine which one is better.
The former has the lofty concept of conforming to the way of heaven, but the latter also has the concept of becoming an immortal in the world of mortals. Moreover, even in the Three Thousand Worlds, there is endless debate between being sentient and ruthless.
When it was impossible to clearly distinguish between superior and inferior, Chen Mu would naturally choose the latter.
In other words, if he could tell the difference, he would probably choose the latter.
If you cut off all worldly cause and effect, and cut off all ideas of lust, even if you really achieve the body and the way of heaven, then it is already me and not me.
…
Royal Palace.
The body of Emperor Longzheng fell in front of the Jinluan Hall.
He is wearing a golden dragon robe and seems to still be lifelike, but if you look through its surface, you can clearly see that the blood in his body has almost been drained.
The Nine Yuan Seal floats above the body of Emperor Longzheng.
Exuding a dull golden light.
beside.
Corpses were laid out one after another.
Zhao Gao fell down closest to Emperor Longzheng. The lower half of his body was gone, leaving only the upper part of his chest, but he was not completely dead.
Chen Mu's figure appeared quietly in front of the Jinluan Palace, his eyes swept over this place, looking at the corpse of Emperor Longzheng, as well as the dragnets and corpses of the hidden guards everywhere.
He frowned slightly.
Emperor Longzheng is dead!
This was the first time he stepped into Dayuan's palace, but he didn't expect such a scene. He wanted to have tea with the emperor, talk about the past, history, and the secrets of this world.
Chen Mu converged his gaze and looked carefully at the body of Emperor Longzheng.
The seal floating on the body of Emperor Longzheng was a magic weapon that was almost the same as the Blood Jade Ruler. The specific situation was not clear for a short time. It was not clear for a while how Emperor Longzheng was able to control it as a mortal.
This kind of magic weapon.
The problem is that the death of Emperor Longzheng may be related to the forced control of a magic weapon like Jiuyuan Xi, but the corpses here are obviously the result of being attacked and killed!
And it can be seen that they are all killed in one blow, which is the method of a martial arts master!
The situation is very clear.
When the Demon King came, someone took advantage of the emptiness of the royal family to attack and kill Emperor Longzheng, the Emperor of the Yuan Dynasty, and it was suspected that he succeeded, because Emperor Longzheng was indeed dead and was a corpse!
"what happened?"
Chen Mu frowned and glanced across the entire palace in an instant, then looked at Zhao Gao, who was still alive.
Looking at the situation here, what happened probably a quarter of an hour ago, the blood stains on the ground have not dried up yet.
It would have been impossible for such a thing to happen in the past. Not to mention that the Martial Arts Temple was right next to the palace. Just by having Bai Ze, the head of the Star Observation Tower, he could control the situation of the entire palace at any time.
Only at this time, when the Demon King comes, no one has time to take care of the palace.
Chen Mu glanced in the direction of Si Tiantai and saw Boss Bai Ze who was still staying on the Star Observation Tower. However, the entire Star Observation Tower was now full of cracks, including Boss Bai Ze, who was also unconscious.
In the past, the breath was weak, which was obviously a huge loss and serious injury.
now.
Zhao Gao's eyes were dim. Although there was still a faint trace of vitality, his pupils seemed to have dilated. He only faced the direction of Emperor Longzheng, and his eyes were dim and dull.
Chen Mu raised his fingers to Zhao, and a beam of spiritual light disappeared into his heavenly spirit.
quietly.
In Zhao Gao's eyes, the divergent pupils gathered together again quietly, and there was a little glimmer of light again.
First, he showed a brief moment of confusion, and then moved his eyes and saw Chen Mu standing in front of the body of Emperor Longzheng.
"What's going on here?"
Chen Mu didn't waste any time and asked directly.
Zhao Gao stared at Chen Mu, a trace of confusion flashed in his eyes, but gradually he seemed to understand something, spit out a little blood foam from his mouth, and made a very weak sound.
"Born, blissful..."
The sound emitted by this half of the body was so weak that it was difficult to hear it clearly even if one listened closely, but Chen Mu could hear it clearly with his heart and soul reflected, and there was a trace of indifference in his eyes.
Born, blissful.
Here are these two major cults again.
This time, when the Demon King came, he attacked and killed Emperor Longzheng, causing the Great Yuan Emperor to die.
"snort."
Chen Mu snorted coldly, took a step forward, and disappeared in an instant.
Zhao Gao looked at Chen Mu who disappeared out of thin air, and sighed slightly in his heart.
It's him.
Before, he felt in the haze on the edge of life and death that there seemed to be a powerful force coming, forcibly suppressing and erasing the demonic power that almost replaced the sky in the southwest.
That's not the feeling of a Martial Saint, so he can only be a second-grade Heavenly Master.
"Who are you?"
Zhao Gao looked at the place where Chen Mu disappeared and murmured in his heart.
Others may not know.
But he had already been investigating Chen Mu when Chen Mu changed from the fifth grade to the fourth grade in Youzhou, and he investigated almost all the information about Chen Mu repeatedly and carefully.
Including Chen Mu's poems written in Xinghua Tower, including Chen Mu's investigation in Tianji Tower, and the glass making method Chen Mu figured out.
The combination of these gave him a guess.
Especially when Chen Mu showed his third-level power in Qingzhou, his guess almost turned into certainty. He was convinced that Chen Mu was not Chen Mu. Maybe the body was, but the person was not.
Apart from him, only Emperor Longzheng knew about this matter, but Emperor Longzheng didn't say anything, because it didn't matter to Emperor Longzheng whether it was Chen Mu or not Chen Mu.
even.
If Chen Mu was an ancient being who was resurrected through the resurrection of a dead body, it would be a good thing for Emperor Long Zheng, because there is a lack of a second-grade magician in the world.
Because of this, Emperor Longzheng did not tell Bai Ze and others about the matter, including the other second-rank members of the Martial Temple. He only ordered people to quickly go to Nanli to find Chen Mu when the Demon King appeared.
When Chen Mu appeared again, he was really a second-grade heavenly master.
"That's all, it doesn't matter who it is..."
Zhao Gao sighed softly in his heart.
Although Kyoto was not trapped by the demon king, Emperor Longzheng was harmed by the evil cult. After all, it was a step too late.
He looked at the body of Emperor Longzheng.
Shake his head slightly.
Maybe this is destiny.
But at least with Chen Mu, the heavenly master, the world will not fall, and the demonic chaos will also end.
Gradually.
The light in Zhao Gao's eyes dimmed again, and his pupils gradually dispersed, but this time the last trace of life left in his body was dispersed.
Finally, he lowered his head in the direction of Emperor Longzheng and stopped moving.
…
Royal Palace.
A palace somewhere.
Chen Mu's figure flashed and appeared in front of the palace. He looked into the palace and saw corpses lying on the ground.
He walked a few steps forward and came to a corpse.
This corpse was wearing a python robe, and it was a prince of Emperor Longzheng. His death condition seemed to be the same as that of the guards next to him, but from the spiritual vision, it could be seen that almost only his body was left.
"..."
Chen Mu was silent.
The same was true for Emperor Longzheng. The blood was almost drained from his body, leaving only a body. He originally thought it was caused by forcibly controlling the seal, but now it seems that it is not the case.
Looking across the entire palace, what he saw was a scene of rivers of blood, but the blood came from the guards and maids, and all the princes and princesses were left with only their bodies.
"What do you want to do by taking the blood of the royal family?"
There was a little glimmer in Chen Mu's eyes.
The spiritual vision swept across the entire palace, taking in everything within a radius of dozens of miles.
Not only that.
His sight also saw the disturbed trajectory of spiritual energy in the void, and he saw countless complicated lines.
The Grandmaster's actions left almost no traces. Even if only a quarter of an hour had passed, ordinary people would hardly be able to find any traces. However, Chen Mu was a second-grade magician, and his eyes could see everything in the world. It was almost impossible to hide it from his eyes.
Even if the Grand Master takes action, it will disrupt the trajectory of the spiritual energy. Although the entire Kyoto is in chaos due to the arrival of the Demon King, you can still find clues after searching bit by bit.
After searching for a while.
A glimmer of light flashed in Chen Mu's eyes, he took a step forward and disappeared.
