"Why do you think the person inside the scarlet sacred tree is your master?"
Yang Mu touched his chin, which really made him confused.
The old man's expression changed and he had no intention of answering.
"When did he wait here?" Yang Mu turned his head and looked at Pang Ruhai.
Pang Ruhai said hurriedly: "Senior, he appeared not long after you had just retreated. You have been in retreat for three hours, and he has been waiting for almost three hours!"
"Three hours?"
Yang Mu realized something and looked at the old man again, "According to the guess just now, your master has been waiting for the scarlet sacred tree to mature. Once he gets the news, he will definitely come as soon as possible.
Once you learned that the Scarlet Sacred Skeleton Tree was mature, you would definitely inform him as soon as possible! As a result, you waited for three full hours and still regarded me as your master?
I guess you went to find your master before, but didn't find him, so you thought I was him. Am I right?"
The old man's eyes when he looked at Yang Mu changed again.
Being able to guess the original appearance with a little bit of information means that this kid has a quick mind that is incomparable to others.
But what really impressed him was that at this time, the other party's state of mind was still unaffected and he could reason so calmly.
"So what if you guess it? Although I don't know what my master is doing, but when he hears the sound, he will definitely come over immediately! As soon as he arrives, you will definitely die!"
The old man had a grim look on his face.
Yang Mu's face was expressionless: "I bet something happened to him and he won't be able to come."
"What's the meaning?"
The old man's heart was in a state of confusion. In fact, this was what he was worried about.
He didn't think anyone here could do anything to his master, but the problem was that at the speed of the ninth level snake dragon realm, he had definitely arrived!
As a result, until now, his master is still missing!
Deep in his heart, he also vaguely felt that something might have happened!
"You know what it means. If something hadn't happened, how could it not have appeared now?"
Yang Mu walked towards the old man step by step.
"You...you can't kill me-"
Before he finished speaking, he suddenly stared behind Yang Mu, his face full of ecstasy.
Yang Mu's heart started to beat wildly. He turned around and saw an old man and a middle-aged man standing at the door not far away.
The old man has yellow skin, a thin body, and sparse hair. He looks like he has one foot in the coffin. However, the aura on his body is extremely terrifying, like a flame that has been suppressed to the extreme. If it breaks out, it will engulf everyone.
The middle-aged man has a tall and straight posture, and there is nothing scary about his aura. He seems to be just an ordinary person, but his eyes are as deep as an abyss and as sharp as a sword.
"Master!"
The fat old man in front of Yang Mu was very excited and shouted to the skinny old man: "Disciple, pay homage to the master! You are finally here!"
He pointed at Yang Mu and was furious, "The opportunity of the Scarlet Sacred Skeleton Tree was taken away by this damn boy! He even crippled one of my arms and asked Master to take action. I want this boy to die.
I can’t die!”
It was as big as the sea and the color of the earth was like earth. His legs became weak and he sat down on the ground.
Yang Mu looked solemn, but he only glanced at the skinny old man, and then looked at the seemingly ordinary middle-aged man.
"Can't you live, can't you die?"
The middle-aged man showed a smile and looked at the old man beside him, "This apprentice of yours is quite ruthless."
"Who are you?" The fat old man noticed that his master's body was trembling slightly, like a kitten standing next to a tiger, with fear written on his face.
Before the middle-aged man could speak, the thin old man hurriedly said: "It's the junior who has failed to discipline me properly! Please allow me, senior, to kill this evildoer so that I can vent my anger on my senior!"
When the fat old man heard this, he suspected that there was something wrong with his ears and was dumbfounded.
The middle-aged man chuckled and said, "You don't have a few years left to live, and in the end, to save yourself, you even killed your disciples?"
The fat old man laughed dryly and said: "Senior has misunderstood. This junior is not doing this for himself, but because he wants to serve senior! It is the junior's honor to be able to do things for senior."
"Do you think I might have a way to prolong your life or even help you break through?"
The middle-aged man shook his head, "Then you are overthinking. Even if the opportunity of the Scarlet Relic Tree falls on you, it is just a waste! It will neither extend your life nor make a breakthrough."
Having said this, he looked at Yang Mu: "Looking at the inscription, if the breakthrough fails, there is only a dead end. It has always been like this, without exception!"
"No! As cultivators like us, there is nothing absolute about changing our fate against the will of heaven. Please show mercy to me, senior, and tell me a way out for you!"
The thin old man's face was full of pleading, and he knelt down in front of the middle-aged man with a bang.
The middle-aged man said coldly: "You are a master figure in the hearts of many people. Even before you die, you should save yourself some dignity instead of being so embarrassed.
Furthermore, you killed so many innocent people in order to speed up the maturity of the Scarlet Sacred Skeleton Tree. Now, don’t you think it’s ridiculous to ask others to give you a way out?”
The thin old man shook his head desperately, and was about to say something, when he saw the middle-aged man point his finger forward, and a sword energy appeared out of thin air, piercing the thin old man's head, so fast that no one present could react.
Plop!
The thin old man lay on his back and died instantly!
Seeing this scene, the fat old man's eyes rounded with shock, his face full of horror, and he knelt down and kowtowed to the middle-aged man:
"Senior, have mercy on me! Please have mercy on me, senior! Everything I did was forced by him.
Senior, please believe that this matter is of no benefit to me. If I hadn’t been forced, how could I have killed so many people! I have long been dissatisfied with him, but my strength is limited and I dare not disobey him. Please
Senior, please spare me!"
The middle-aged man ignored him, looked at Yang Mu, and said with a smile: "At this time, why don't you call me master?"
When Pang Ruhai and the fat old man heard this, their bodies were shocked and their faces were full of disbelief.
Yang Mu's expression was complicated: "You didn't recognize me, why did you show up again?"
The middle-aged man, the Thousand-Faced Demon Lord Mu Wuya smiled:
"Although you are only at the fourth level of the Snake and Dragon Realm, your combat power is comparable to the seventh level of the Snake and Dragon Realm. You have fulfilled my original request."
"So, you are willing to accept me as your disciple because my strength meets your expectations?"
Yang Mu didn't look happy at all, but said with a cold face, "The Thousand-Faced Demon Lord is really powerful, but he is a little self-righteous!
Have you never thought that maybe you are willing to recognize me as your apprentice, but I am not willing to recognize you as my master?"
The Thousand-Faced Demon?
The fat old man, who already had weak legs, heard this name and his head was buzzing. He almost rolled his eyes and fainted.
