"Looking at Brother Shi's expression right now, the curse on him must have been resolved, right?" Feng Li suddenly thought of something, looked at Shi Mu up and down, and asked.
"Yes, I have lifted the totem curse according to the method you mentioned. Speaking of which, I have to thank Brother Feng." Shi Mu nodded.
Feng Li's eyes flashed with surprise, and he said a few words of humility.
"correct……"
Shi Mu's expression changed, and he took out a small ball of rags wrapped in rags from his arms.
"This necklace belongs to Brother Feng. Now that the human and barbarian clans have formed an alliance, I have no reason to keep this necklace with you anymore. I originally planned to go to the Xuanwu Sect to find you. Since you and I happened to be here, I decided to return it.
Here you go." He said, without opening the rag package in his hand, and handed it over directly.
"So, has the war between humans and barbarians really stopped? It seems that the rumors are true..." Feng Li murmured to himself in a low voice and reached out to take the rag package.
Seeing that Feng Li looked a little sad, Shi Mu sighed in his heart. He didn't know what to say at this moment.
Feng Li looked a little desolate. He opened the rag package in his hand, took out the necklace and put it on his neck. Then he turned around absently and walked away.
"Is Brother Feng going to return to the Xuanwu Sect?" Shi Mu hesitated for a moment, then asked.
"I won't go back." Feng Li paused, without looking back, and said calmly.
Although his voice was dull, Shi Mu could hear that it contained a deep disappointment for the Human Alliance.
"I joined the Xuanwu Sect just to avenge the barbarians... The barbarians were so inhumane. Brother Shi must have witnessed how they treated the human race at the border. I never dreamed that the alliance would reconcile with the barbarians so easily!
"Feng Li's voice trembled slightly and he clenched his fists.
"Now that the Sea Clan is ready to make a move in the East China Sea, and we are under attack from both sides, our Seven Sects and the Three Kingdoms of Daqi will not be able to fight against each other. It will only lead to a loss of life, so the alliance has no choice but to do so." Shi Mu said in a deep voice.
"No matter what, the barbarians and I have a sworn hatred. Now that the alliance has reconciled with the barbarians, the Xuanwu Sect is no longer the place where I should stay." Feng Li laughed sadly and turned his head.
"Then what are Brother Feng's plans for the future?" Shi Mu asked.
"Plans? I should go to the central part of the continent next." Feng Li raised his head, with a look of excitement on his face.
"Central continent!" Shi Mu was a little surprised.
He had heard that although Da Qi, Yan State, and Huang State had vast territories, and there were vast barbarian wastelands to the west, the sum of all these places was actually just the eastern part of the Dongzhou Continent.
The Dongzhou Continent is vast and vast, with an area a hundred and a thousand times that of the Eastern Peninsula. It is said that it is the true holy land of cultivation and the origin of the human race. It is ten times more prosperous than the Seven Sects Alliance of the Peninsula.
When he first started, he had heard that the Black Demon Sect was just a branch of the Heavenly Demon Sect, a large sect in the center of the mainland.
"Although the central part of the continent is prosperous, I heard that if you go from us, you have to pass through many natural obstacles and are extremely dangerous. Even innate beings are not sure that they can successfully reach it." Shi Mu said.
"Thank you Brother Shi for worrying about me, but Feng has made up his mind. If he can't overcome these dangers on the road, how can he talk about revenge in the future?" Feng Li said firmly.
"Brother Feng really hates the barbarians so much? When I went to the barbarian wilderness this time, I found that most of the barbarians, led by Pingman, still hate war and long for peace. War will only bring endless slaughter." Shi Mu looked at him.
He looked at Feng Li and said slowly.
"Haha, if I consider myself to have a deeper understanding of barbarians than Brother Shi, Brother Shi doesn't need to persuade me." Feng Li said nonchalantly.
"By the way, where does this necklace of yours come from? The high priest of the barbarian tribe, Bilig, seems to be quite concerned about this thing." After hearing this, Shi Mu didn't give any more advice, but suddenly remembered something and asked.
"Bilige..." Feng Li raised his eyebrows and gritted his teeth and spit out the name.
Shi Mu took a deep look at Feng Li and then withdrew his gaze.
Feng Li is actually related to the high priest, so his identity must be unusual.
Feng Li took a deep breath, exhaled it slowly, turned around slowly, his expression became calm, looked at the solid wood, and said with deep meaning: "Unexpectedly, Brother Shi actually saw the barbarian high priest. It seems that
Your trip to the barbarians should have been quite an experience."
"It's nothing. It was just a coincidence that I met the team sent by the Alliance to negotiate peace with the barbarians, so we went together to the Holy Snow Palace of the barbarians." Shi Mu briefly explained the trip to the peace talks, and about
He didn't say much about the encounter in the Warrior's Gate, except that the plain and barbarian side won by luck.
After Feng Li listened, he was silent for a moment and sneered a few times.
"About this necklace, everything I said before is true, and there is no falsehood. It's just that some things involve some privacy. It's not convenient to disclose it now. Please forgive me, Brother Shi." Feng Li cupped his hand towards Shi Mu, looking a little bit.
Desolate.
"That being the case, I won't ask any more questions. However, there is an unusually violent aura in this necklace. Please be careful when wearing it in the future." Shi Mu smiled and said.
Feng Li's eyes flashed slightly, and he saluted Shi Mu again, then turned around without saying a word, and walked quickly towards the distance. His figure gradually became farther and farther away, and slowly became a black figure.
point.
Shi Mu looked at Feng Li's leaving figure, sighed, looked back at the ruins of the manor, hesitated for a moment, and walked in again.
After a while, he walked out of the manor, jumped onto the carriage, and glanced at a building not far away, with a strange look in his eyes.
"drive!"
He pulled the reins and drove the carriage towards the distance.
The sound of the clumsy carriage was heard in the distance, and two thin figures slowly appeared behind the building.
These two people were only seventeen or eighteen years old, and they looked like they were not members of the Golden Dragon Gang or the Wu family, but spies from other forces. However, their faces were pale at the moment, their bodies were trembling, and their faces were filled with fear.
One of them glanced at the ruins of the manor with lingering fear, smelled the smell of blood in his nose, and immediately felt nauseated and vomited on the spot.
The other person was shocked and quickly grabbed the person and ran towards the other side quickly.
…
Half an hour later, Liufeng Martial Arts School.
Shi Mu, dressed in a brocade robe, walked out accompanied by Li Canghai.
Shi Mu had already found an inn in the city, washed away the blood on his body, and put on a new set of clothes.
As the saying goes, people depend on their clothes. Shi Mu was already broad-shouldered and broad-bodied, with thick eyebrows and big eyes. At this moment, he looked even more refreshed, and his resolute and powerful face was even more handsome.
Li Canghai hasn't changed much from a few years ago, except that his temples are stained with white frost.
At this time, his face was flushed, his expression was quite excited, and he looked at Shi Mu with deep gratitude.
"Master Li, you don't need to give it away. It's just a few Solid Origin Pills. I think this is my disciple's way of repaying the kindness you taught me back then." Shi Mu said to Li Canghai with an cup of his hand.
"These Strengthening Pills may not be much to you now, but they are of great use to me! With these pills, my cultivation that has been stagnant for many years may be able to take a step further!" Li Canghailue
He said excitedly.
Shi Mu smiled faintly, and the two chatted for a while. Shi Mu then turned over and boarded the carriage, said goodbye to Li Canghai, and drove the horse away from Liufeng Martial Arts Hall.
"It's been so long, they should have received accurate news."
A smile appeared on Shi Mu's face and he murmured to himself.
As he spoke, he shook the reins and the carriage galloped in the other direction.
…
A hall in the Jin family mansion.
All the people in charge of the Jin family are now gathered here. The head of the Jin family is standing aside with some anxiety. Sitting on the main seat is an old man with white eyebrows in golden robes and fine clothes. He is energetic.
This old man is the Dinghai Divine Needle of the Jin family. The ancestor of the Jin family has reached the perfection of the acquired world. Although he is ninety years old, he does not feel senile at all.
But at this moment, the ancestor of the Jin family frowned, with a worried look on his face. He suddenly stood up and walked back and forth in a hall with some restlessness.
In the hall, there was a short, thin young man standing in the middle of the hall, as if he had just reported something.
"Are you sure that person is that Shi Mu?" The ancestor of the Jin family stood still, turned to look at the young man in gold, and asked in a deep voice.
"Qi... Ancestor, this is absolutely true. Although this person's appearance has changed a bit, he is definitely that Shi Mu." The skinny young man said quickly, his face still a little pale, when he mentioned the word "Shi Mu"
At this time, a lingering fear flashed in his eyes.
As soon as these words came out, everyone in the hall buzzed and started talking.
"Where is this person now?" the ancestor of the Jin family asked.
"After that man left the Golden Dragon Gang, he seemed to have gone in the direction of Liufeng Martial Arts School." The skinny young man replied immediately.
The ancestor of the Jin family raised his eyebrows with a look of confusion on his face.
"After Shi Mu came to Fengcheng, he practiced martial arts under Li Canghai at the Liufeng Martial Arts Hall for a period of time." The head of the Jin family on the side took a step forward and explained softly.
"Send someone to monitor Shi Mu's actions at all times. If you find any signs of him coming to the Jin family, notify me immediately." The ancestor of the Jin family pondered for a moment and then gave instructions.
"Father, don't worry, I have sent Jin Shun and his people to watch outside the Liufeng Martial Arts Hall and send messages via carrier pigeons, so there is nothing wrong." The head of the Jin family said immediately.
The ancestor of the Jin family nodded after hearing this.
"Father, this son was so bold that he killed Fifth Brother and Jintian. Now that he dares to come back, we just set up a dragnet to capture him in one fell swoop to avenge the death of the fifth brother!" A middle-aged man with a sinister face
Suddenly he stood up and said loudly.
This person is the ninth in the Jin family. He had the closest relationship with Lord Jin Wu at that time, and he is also the person who has been the most enthusiastic in tracking down Shi Mu's whereabouts over the years.
"Lao Jiu, father is here, when will it be your turn to talk nonsense!" The head of the Jin family looked cold and scolded him sternly.
The Yin Xiao middle-aged man's face darkened, and he finally did not dare to talk back, but there was still a look of dissatisfaction on his face.
