Qingshui City is already overcrowded. In total, more than 200,000 cultivators have poured into Qingshui City. Every day, the streets are bustling with cultivators.
There are also many Jixian who are relatively low in the rankings. Sikong Qiwen, Tian Bubai and Mu Yu are all famous figures in the world of cultivation, and their own strength is quite extraordinary. Watching the battles between the strong ones, you can understand your own shortcomings.
Therefore, many Jixian are unwilling to let go of this rare opportunity.
Wherever there are cultivators, there will be fights, but most of these cultivators are very conscious. They dare not openly fight in Qingshui City. If they have conflicts, they go to the desert outside Qingshui City to resolve them.
Because the people of the Eight Sects had united together to ensure that Tian Budai could defeat Sikong Qiwen and obtain Sikong Qiwen's secret, they did not allow other problems to occur in Qingshui City, so they specially sent people to ensure the safety of Qingshui City.
No one dares to challenge the majesty of the Eight Gates, so there are rarely riots in Qingshui City even if there is a mixture of fish and dragons.
The Mu family often needs to deal with properties in various parts of Qingshui City, so they will often appear in various places in Qingshui City.
There were many pairs of eyes watching their movements secretly, but in broad daylight, no one dared to be disrespectful to them, because every cultivator already knew that the Mu family could not be offended, and no one wanted to get into trouble with the True God's disciples.
Unless the person who is targeting them is not an ordinary cultivator.
Mu Rongxuan often takes Mu Xin out to discuss business. He handles many things in the Mu family. Now, because of Mu Yu, the Mu family does business with others more smoothly.
Today, Mu Rongxuan is taking Mu Xin to a tailor shop that sells cultivator clothing to discuss the issue of profit sharing. Cultivators often have to walk in danger, so they have a huge demand for clothes.
Some clothes are made of powerful monster tendons, which can withstand certain powerful flying swords, so they are very popular among cultivators. Mu Rongxuan also saw this business opportunity, so he also wanted to give this tailor shop to
Acquired.
Mu Xin didn't like her father talking about business, so she wandered around the tailor shop by herself and would happily run up to some good-looking clothes.
Opposite the tailor shop is a tea stall. At this moment, a man and a woman are sitting in front of the tea stall, drinking tea leisurely.
"This is a member of the Mu family, right?" A very fair young man gently held up a cup of green tea and took a sip.
"The Mu family is guarded by a powerful formation. This powerful protection is second only to the formation sect. If we want to find Mu Yu, we can only go through the gate." The woman in blue sitting opposite glanced at the woman running in the store.
Mu Xin is running around.
"It's easy to enter Mu Mansion, but it's not easy to get out." The young man smiled and shook his head.
"Then how do you plan to lure Muyu out? We are here just for him, aren't we?" said the woman in blue.
"Muyu values his family very much, and this will become his weakness. Be careful, don't let others see it." The young man turned his attention to the tailor shop.
"I understand." The woman in blue nodded.
There was no customer in the tailor shop at the moment, only a waiter was accompanying Mu Xin, and Mu Rongxuan was talking with the shopkeeper in the back room.
The woman in blue walked to the tailor shop, and the clerk in the shop immediately greeted her enthusiastically. But the woman in blue's eyes flashed with a blue light, which shot into the clerk's eyes.
The guy's body suddenly froze.
"You didn't see me, do you understand?" the woman in blue said calmly.
"Yes." The clerk turned around, returned to the counter, sat on the chair behind the counter again, and stared out of the store in a daze.
"Sister, are you here to buy clothes?" Mu Xin asked curiously, blinking her big eyes.
The woman in blue smiled slightly: "Yes, how about you help me choose something good-looking?"
"Okay, okay!" Mu Xin led the woman in blue and ran towards the rack where the clothes were hung.
The blue light flashed again, and the clerk was the only one left in the store.
The young man at the tea stall had also disappeared long ago.
——
There was a dark cloud hanging over the entire Mu family, and everyone's expressions were not good-looking.
A vague sense of crisis spreads in everyone's heart.
"You said Xiaoxin is missing?" Mu Yu asked in a deep voice.
Mu Rongxuan was going crazy with anxiety. He handed a piece of paper to Mu Yu and said, "Just now I took Xiaoxin out to discuss business, and I let her play in the store by herself. But when I finished my work, I found that Xiaoxin was missing.
But the clerk in the store sent such a piece of paper. Mu Yu, what should I do now?"
Mu Yu spread out the paper and wrote a few words on it:
"At midnight tonight, let Mu Yu come to Qingshui City alone to die in the Gobi Desert, otherwise the little girl will die."
The location is in the Desert of Death, where the three of them will have a decisive battle on June 6th.
There is no name after these few words, the paper is just ordinary paper, nothing special about it.
This piece of paper had no beginning or end, but Mu Yu was furious when he saw it. He never expected that someone would actually want to threaten him with Xiaoxin's life!
"Is it Yingsha?" Cailie frowned, took the paper in Mu Yu's hand, and looked through it for a long time but couldn't figure out why.
"I don't know, but now Mu Mansion is guarded by a powerful formation. No one can come in quietly, not even Shadow Kill Qingming! If he wants to force me to show up, he will most likely use this method.
"Muyu's voice was very cold.
The protective formation he set up for Mu Mansion is very powerful, so there is no need to worry about others breaking in, but the Mu family cannot hide in this barrier forever. If he does not solve this problem, it is very likely that all the Mu family will be affected in the future.
his involvement.
"How strong is Yingsha Qingming?" Mu Zhexing rushed over immediately after receiving the news.
Mu Yu shook his head.
Shadow Kill, who is ranked 43rd among the Ji Immortals, has a cultivation level at least above the sixth level of the distraction stage, while Mu Yu only has the cultivation level of the out-of-body ninth level. The disparity in strength is too great!
"Third brother, have you ever carefully asked the clerk in the store? Don't you even know what the person who took Xiaoxin looked like?" Mu Zhexing asked seriously.
Mu Rongxuan shook his head: "I asked, and the guy seems to have lost his memory. He can't even remember that there is a child named Xiaoxin."
The twenty-four shadow killers are very mysterious, and it is said that no one has ever seen what they look like.
Mu Yu had no choice. For the sake of his sister, he had to go and keep the appointment.
"We must consider this matter in the long run!" Mu Tianhe hurriedly came over and said.
The reputation of Ying Qingming for killing Qingming is even greater than that of Sikong Qiwen and Tian Bubai. If this is the case, then Mu Yu will be in trouble if he really wants to go to the appointment.
Master Lu said from the side: "Mu Yu, let me go with you!"
Although he knows Mu Yu's strength, he also knows that Ying Sha Qingming is more difficult to deal with than Sikong Qiwen and Tian Bubai!
Mu Yu shook his head: "No, if it is really a shadow attack, I can deal with it alone. Mr. Lu, please stay in the Mu Mansion and help me protect the Mu family and tell other Mu family members not to go out again. I will go there."
Return."
Mu Zhexing put his hand on Mu Yu's shoulder and said calmly: "I don't trust you to go alone."
Mu Zhexing has already lost his son once and does not want to lose his son again.
Mu Yu's heart moved slightly and he said: "It's okay, I'm not someone who can be caught so easily. You guys wait for me here. It's not the right time to leave Mu Mansion."
He knew what Mu Zhexing was thinking, but if Shadow Killer really came to his door, he would not be able to choose to escape, otherwise the Mu family would always be in danger.
"Is this really okay?" Mu Zhexing's heart was filled with anxiety.
"Don't worry! It's not certain who will kill whom!" Mu Yu's eyes flashed with a cold light.
——
Qingshui City is very quiet after nightfall. The moonlight quietly shines on the oasis in the endless desert, as if covered with a layer of white frost.
Mu Yu quickly floated out of Mu Mansion, swept towards the outside of the city, and disappeared into the vast night.
"Are you finally willing to come out?" A shadow appeared in a small alley. This shadow was like a ghost. Even if someone walked in front of him, it would be impossible to find his trace.
The moonlight stretched the shadows of the Qingshui City buildings very long. This shadow stared closely at Muyu's figure, moving through every shadow illuminated by the moonlight and never being exposed to the moonlight.
He is like a walker in the shadows, and every shadow is his foothold.
But his figure suddenly stopped, and he looked quietly at the dark alley in front of him, as if he had noticed something. Then he pondered for a moment, then quietly blended into the shadows and disappeared.
A woman in blue walked out of the dark alley. She stared closely at the place where the shadow was, and then looked at Mu Yu flying over Qingshui City under the moonlight, then turned around and left silently.
The Death Gobi is a very difficult and dangerous area near Qingshui City.
This was originally a trade road, and the Death Gobi was not called the Death Gobi. However, one day, the sand in the ravine-ridden Gobi began to meander like water, which was very strange.
Everyone in Qingshui City knows that quicksand occurs in the desert, but the quicksand in the Death Gobi really flows. Driven by the wind, it floats around the Death Gobi like water, which is weird.
The phenomenon may occur several times a day from time to time, and it will be dangerous for ordinary people once they enter the Desert of Death.
Therefore, this place has become a forbidden area for the Qingshui City caravan. They would rather choose other longer routes than pass through the Death Gobi.
Facing the cold moonlight, Mu Yu followed the instructions, walked out of the east gate and headed north, finding the Desert of Death.
The Death Gobi is not difficult to find, because this place is quite conspicuous. Even at night, you can see the red rocks shining with a strange red light under the moonlight. You can easily see it by flying high in the sky and looking down at the desert.
Death Gobi.
Muyu landed on a protruding sandstone and stared at the vast night.
The outline of Qingshui City is no longer visible here, only the rolling sand dunes.
The wind and sand howled by, bringing with it a hint of coolness. In the desert, the temperature difference between day and night is quite large. The desert at night is like entering winter, making people feel cold.
"Disciple of the True God, this is the only way to lure you out alone. It's not easy."
A black shadow appeared on the sand dune in front of Mu Yu. This person came so quietly, and did not appear abrupt at all when he appeared, as if he had been standing there for a long time.
A cold and chilling feeling permeated the surroundings.
The moonlight fell on the black shadow, and Mu Yu saw the other person's appearance clearly. He was a young man dressed in light blue. He looked very thin, with sharp edges on his face. His entire face looked a little pale under the moonlight.
.
The aura of this man was deep and restrained, making Mu Yu feel threatened.
"Shadow Kill Qingming?" Mu Yu narrowed his eyes, and he found that he couldn't see through the young man in front of him.
