Half a quarter of an hour later, in the back room of the attic.
"Your Majesty, I have already told you everything I know. I hope you will be merciful and spare this little man's life. I can swear that I will never tell anyone about what happened today!" The middle-aged man in gray clothes was covered with a layer of blankets at the moment.
Shrouded in gray light, his face was distorted, as if he was suffering from great pain, and he couldn't help but beg for mercy from Hussere in front of him.
As he spoke, he glanced at the ground next to him.
Deacon Quan's breath was gone, his eyes were lifeless, his hands and feet were nailed to the ground, and blood was flowing.
The Ming Yue Sect has its own set of methods of torturing people's souls and bodies, and forcing people to live or die. Although Hussere's status in the sect is not high, he is no stranger to this method.
The middle-aged man in gray clothes had used this method to force confessions from many people in the past, but he never thought that one day he would be treated like this.
At this moment, he felt extremely regretful. He could only be regarded as a small leader in the Ming Yue Sect General Forum. This time, he got the status of the selection envoy with the care of the Canglang Hall Master. He wanted to use this opportunity to make a fortune.
, unexpectedly encountered the two evil stars Shi Mu.
"The villain is willing to follow Master Shi from now on. If you are not at ease, you can use the Forbidden God Pearl to control part of my soul. This way you won't be afraid of the villain betraying you." The man in gray suddenly looked at the door.
, shouted.
"Senior Mu! I have asked all the questions that need to be asked." Husseire was startled, and looked back to see Shi Mu walking in from the door at some point.
"Master Shi, the cultivation next to you is not at the peak of the spiritual level. He is a low-level martial arts practitioner who will definitely be more useful to you!" The messenger in gray said quickly.
Husseile was furious and wanted to stab the messenger to death right now, but Shi Mu was standing nearby, so he did not dare to express his thoughts on his face, so he turned to look at Shi Mu.
Shi Mu waved his hand, signaling Husseile to step back.
Husseile was shocked. He retracted his arms and threw the body of the middle-aged man in gray heavily to the ground, while he stepped aside.
"Thank you for sparing your life, sir. I will definitely..." The middle-aged man in gray clothes felt his body relax, and he quickly struggled to sit up. His left hand quietly reached into his waist and held a talisman.
At this moment, a golden light flashed before his eyes, piercing the throat of the middle-aged man in gray.
puff!
There was a big hole in his throat, and blood gushed out.
The middle-aged man in gray clothes had bulging eyes and desperately covered his throat, trying to contain the flow of vitality in his body.
But after just a few breaths, the look in the eyes of the middle-aged man in gray had completely disappeared, and his body fell to the ground, lifeless.
The golden light flashed across the throat of Deacon Quan and cut his throat as well.
Hussere stared at all this blankly and said nothing.
Shi Mu had no expression on his face, and waved his hand to recall the money sword. Then he walked to the body of the man in gray, searched for a while, and found out a black staff, two or three medicine bottles, a black jade slab, and more than a dozen pieces.
Spirit stones, and a Dark Moon Token.
The body of the staff is dark and smooth, like a bamboo joint. The top is decorated with a black crystal, and there are black electric lights flashing inside. It is not ordinary at first glance.
There is a dark red moon mark engraved on the corner of the black jade plate. The material is quite special and I don't know what it is used for.
Except for this staff and the black jade plate, the others are all ordinary things.
Several medicine bottles contained detoxification and healing elixirs, and they were of average quality. Most of the dozens of spiritual stones were of low grade, and there was only one medium-grade fire attribute spiritual stone.
"It's just such a small thing..." Shi Mu was a little disappointed, picked up the black jade plate, and started playing with it.
"According to what he said, this black jade plate is the magic weapon used to record the list of preliminary candidates." Hussere said.
Shi Mu nodded, picked up the black staff again, and threw it to Hussere.
"I have no use for holding this thing, so I'll give it to you." Shi Mu said.
"Thank you, Senior Shi." Husseire was overjoyed and hurriedly caught it, holding it in his hand and starting to caress it.
The quality of this staff is much higher than his own. The black crystal on the top of the staff contains pure Yin-type spiritual power.
Shi Mu took off the man in gray again and kicked the two corpses to Hussere's side.
"These two corpses should be good sacrifices for you Mingyue believers. If you sacrifice them, you should be able to increase your strength." Shi Mu said.
"Thank you, Senior Mu, for the generous gift!" Husseile was stunned for a moment, then bowed deeply to Shi Mu and thanked him.
The masters of these two corpses were not weak in cultivation before they were alive, and their strength would definitely increase greatly after being sacrificed.
Shi Mu waved his hand and walked aside.
Hussere took out some things from his body and excitedly began to arrange a sacrificial circle in the room.
The array was quite complicated and it took half an hour to complete.
Hussere dragged the two corpses into the magic circle, recited a spell, and the magic circle emitted black light.
Shi Mu stood aside, waved his sleeves, and several talismans flew out and landed in various corners of the room, opening a barrier. In conjunction with the barrier that Hussere opened at the beginning, it completely blocked the mana fluctuations emitted by Hussere.
Got up.
He had already seen the process of sacrifice once, but that time was far away and not as clear as now.
As Hussere muttered words, the blood light of the Mingyue Order in his hand flourished. In an instant, the blazing bloody flames surged from the magic circle and enveloped the two corpses. In a flash of light, the two corpses disappeared in the flames without a trace.
The next moment, large swaths of gray light flew out from the surrounding magic circle and disappeared into Hussere's body.
Gray rays of light billowed from his body, undulating like ocean waves, emitting waves of powerful mana fluctuations.
Husseile looked solemn, sat down on the spot and closed his eyes.
The gray light around him gathered on top of his head and slowly rotated, turning into a gray vortex the size of his head.
After an unknown amount of time, the whirlpool gradually stopped rotating and turned into a blurry nebula. In the nebula, a star gradually lit up.
Shi Mu watched all this silently without showing any surprise.
Hussere's cultivation level has already reached the peak of the spiritual level warlock, and he is only one chance away from being able to advance to the star level. This time, he sacrificed two sacrifices with strong cultivation levels. It is reasonable for his cultivation level to break through.
After another quarter of an hour, Hussere opened his eyes, and the gray light on his body also subsided.
He looked at his hands blankly, and then a look of ecstasy appeared on his face.
"Thank you, senior, for your help." Hussere saluted Shi Muchen again.
Shi Mu smiled, waved and threw the man in gray's Ming Yue Token and jacket to Hussere.
"Senior Mu, it's not that I'm timid. It's just that the art of disguise is just an ordinary minor skill. It's nothing to deceive people with low cultivation levels. If you encounter some vicious and careful people, I'm afraid they will be seen through soon.
That would ruin the big thing for seniors." Hussere said.
"It doesn't matter, no one in the city recognizes this messenger, and you only need to pretend for a while. When I pass the preliminary round, my name will be registered on this jade board." Shi Mu said, and then put the black jade
The board was handed to Hussere.
Husserey looked at the black jade plate in his hand, hesitated for a moment, and then nodded.
He walked into the inner room, and half an hour later, a middle-aged man in gray robe came out, still looking a little uneasy.
Shi Mu raised his eyebrows, with a hint of surprise in his eyes. He looked Husse Lei up and down, nodded, and said:
"That's right. Your disguise skills are so good that even those close to the gray-clothed messenger won't be able to spot the flaw. Don't worry, even if there is really trouble, I will solve it for you."
"Yes." Hussere breathed a sigh of relief after hearing this.
"Then you stay here tonight, I'll leave first." Shi Mu nodded to Hussere and waved his hand to take back several talismans arranged in the room.
Shi Mu left here, quickly returned to his residence, and sat down cross-legged on the bed.
He is still very confident in Hussere's disguise skills. As long as he passes the preliminary round, the rest will be easy to handle.
But, why does the Ming Yue Sect suddenly want to go to Xihe Continent?
Thoughts swirled in Shi Mu's mind, and after a moment he shook his head, no longer thinking about it, and closed his eyes.
A few days later.
Ten simple arenas were set up in a square outside the post house, and now thousands of people had gathered here.
Today is the day when the overseas selection begins.
Shi Mu blended in with the crowd and found an inconspicuous place to stand.
At this moment, a commotion came from in front of the post house.
Shi Mu raised his eyes and saw a thin middle-aged man in gray clothes walking out of the post house, accompanied by several deacons from the Ming Yue Sect branch. Upon seeing this, some Ming Yue Sect disciples nearby started shouting.
Crowded around.
This middle-aged man in gray clothes is naturally disguised as Hussere.
Shi Mu frowned slightly, Hussere looked a little nervous at the moment, and his steps were slightly stiff.
Husserey was looking at the crowd around him.
Among the crowd around him at this moment, there are many star-level warlocks and innate warriors. If he is found to be a fake, the consequences will be disastrous...
Hussere thought, his heart trembled, and his body trembled slightly.
"Sir Special Envoy, what's wrong with you?" A short and fat deacon next to him seemed to have noticed something strange about Hussere and asked.
"Oh, it's nothing." Hussere was startled and said hurriedly.
A trace of doubt flashed in the short and fat man's eyes, but he didn't ask any more questions, which made Hussere breathe a sigh of relief.
"By the way, why don't you see Deacon Quan?" Another deacon suddenly said.
"Indeed, I haven't seen him since this morning."
"Sir Special Envoy, I remember that Deacon Quan asked to visit you last night. Do you know his whereabouts?" the short, fat man asked.
"Oh...he came to visit me last night, and then left very quickly. I don't know where he went after that." Hussere said, his tone slightly panicked.
"Idiot! Why are you so nervous!" A cold voice suddenly appeared in Hussere's ears. It was Shi Mu's voice.
