"Did Zhong Xiu leave the Chamber of Commerce privately?" the enchanting woman said.
"She had just been promoted to be the Demon Clan's special envoy of the Chamber of Commerce. Judging from her reaction at the time, she should be genuinely happy. This cannot be faked. In addition, although she signed a fifty-year contract with the Chamber of Commerce, the Chamber of Commerce did not
He didn't restrict her freedom, and he didn't treat her badly. She should have no reason to do this... there may be some hidden meaning in it." Wang Ruikun pondered for a moment and said.
"Anyway, it's a fact that she has disappeared now. Why don't uncle investigate and see where she is now?" said the enchanting woman.
Wang Ruikun heard this and nodded. He flipped his hand over and a white jade formation disk appeared in his hand. He pointed at the surface of the formation disk with his other hand. The formation disk trembled slightly and circles of tiny runes lit up on the surface.
A white ball of light condensed above.
Wang Ruikun closed his eyes, released his consciousness into the white ball of light, his brows gradually furrowed, and a surprised expression gradually appeared on his face.
"Uncle, how are you?" the enchanting woman asked upon seeing this.
"What a strange thing! The trace of this woman's soul left in the Chamber of Commerce has not dissipated, indicating that she is still alive, but she does not seem to be in Xihe Continent now..." Wang Ruikun said slowly.
"She is not in Xihe Continent. Could it be that she has returned to Dongzhou Continent? It's impossible, it's only been a few days!" the enchanting woman said in surprise.
"No matter who has a contract with us, whether they are in Xihe Continent or Dongzhou Continent, I can locate their approximate location through the ray of soul left in the contract, even the dead are no exception. But the current situation is somewhat
It's weird, Zhong Xiu seems to have disappeared from the world." Wang Ruikun said.
"Disappeared? How is that possible!" said the enchanting woman.
Wang Ruikun said nothing, his brows furrowed, and he seemed to be deep in thought.
"Uncle, what do you think we should do now? Her disappearance is a minor matter, and we cannot delay her mission to the demon clan." said the enchanting woman.
"We haven't determined what happened yet. Don't make any announcements about it in advance. Send people to check the places where Zhong Xiu stayed in the city. As for the number of envoys, I will report it to the president first and then discuss it in the long term." Wang Ruikun said.

…
More than a hundred miles northwest of Cangxu City, there is a quiet small valley.
The valley is surrounded by mountains on three sides, and a small stream meanders through the valley. The water in the stream is spring water left from the nearby mountains. It is crystal clear. Some slender aquatic plants grow in the stream, which sway up and down with the water surface.
At this moment, a ray of green light fell from the sky and landed in the valley, revealing a tall figure, none other than Shi Mu.
He glanced around a few times.
"Don't worry, this place is so remote, Tianwu Chamber of Commerce will not be able to come here." Cai'er stood on Shi Mu's shoulder and said.
Shi Mu nodded, found a place to sit by the stream, took off his bamboo hat, and washed his face with some stream water.
He looked at the bald head reflected in the clear water. He didn't know what he thought of, and he was a little dazed for a moment.
Seeing that Shi Mu hadn't spoken for a long time, Cai'er knew that Shi Mu was in a bad mood, so she didn't bother him. She spread her wings and flew around in the valley.
Shi Mu was silent for a while, then found a stone by the stream and sat down against it.
Along the way, he reconsidered some of the things that happened to Zhong Xiu.
If his guess was correct, the so-called "backlash" of the mysterious woman was probably related to Zhong Xiu's bloodline. He remembered that on the barren mountain, Ye Hongyao once said that Zhong Xiu was of the superior third-grade Fengyin bloodline.
"Feng Yin, Tian Feng...is there any connection between these?" Shi Mu murmured to himself.
If the previous change in Zhong Xiu's body was really a blood backlash, then this mysterious woman who suddenly appeared may have come to save people, and she should have no ill intentions towards Zhong Xiu.
Of course, we cannot rule out that this woman has ulterior motives.
But no matter what, Zhong Xiu's life should be safe for the time being.
When Shi Mu thought of this, his heart finally relaxed slightly.
However, this mysterious woman actually possesses astonishing power that comes directly from across the sky. The vastness of her magical power is simply shocking. At the very least, Shi Mu has never seen such a powerful person.
He even had a vague feeling in his heart that this mysterious woman was even more powerful than the powerful Taoist Wuchen he had seen.
Zhong Xiu was taken away by such a person. I don't know how much effort it would take to find her.
"Strength... I want to become stronger! Only in this way can I get Xiu'er back!" Shi Mu's face was calm, but he was roaring silently in his heart. The idea of increasing his strength in his mind was stronger than ever before.
Shi Mu's eyes turned and fell on his left hand. He slowly exerted force on his arm, and then his left hand, which was like charcoal, was lifted up.
He didn't think much about it before, but after getting used to it for a while, he found that this left hand was more troublesome than he expected. Now that he had used 70% to 80% of his strength, he could barely lift his left hand.
He even had the illusion that his left hand seemed not to be his palm. Raising it seemed like a three-year-old child wielding a sledgehammer, which looked extremely clumsy.
Shi Mu pondered for a moment, then clenched his fist with his left hand and hit the mountain wall with a strong force.
A "boom" sound!
The black fist sank into the mountain wall easily, as if it were destroying something, until it reached the elbow. The hard mountain wall seemed to turn into paper and mud in front of the black fist.
With a thought in his mind, the five fingers of his left hand, which was deeply embedded in the mountain wall, suddenly opened up, and at the same time, he withdrew his arm forcefully.
Tsk!
Shi Mu's five fingers seemed to be cast into diamonds, and he drew five scratches on the mountain wall. He pulled out without feeling much resistance.
Shi Mu looked at his left hand in shock and was speechless for a while.
His eyes flashed, and he turned his right hand to take out a long blue sword with a cold light. He hesitated for a moment, waved his arm, and the long sword turned into a cold light and slashed on his left hand.
There was a "bang" sound, like a blunt instrument striking hard wood, and the long sword bounced up.
However, not even a trace was left on the charred left hand.
"It's so strong!" Shi Mu was surprised.
Although the green long sword is not a spiritual weapon, it is still a high-grade magic weapon and is famous for its sharpness. Now it can't leave any trace on the left hand.
Moreover, when the blue long sword slashed his hand just now, let alone the pain, he barely felt much.
After thinking for a moment, Shi Mu turned over his hand and pulled out the iron black knife behind him.
The black knife flashed and struck his left hand. This time, he only used three-thirds of his strength.
With a "bang" sound, the black knife was bounced away, and Shi Mu's left hand was completely unharmed.
Shi Mu gritted his teeth and swung the knife again, but with 20% more strength.
The black knife was bounced away again.
Shi Mu's eyes flashed with a hint of joy, and then he swung his sword again.
…
There was a huge muffled "bang" sound!
The black knife turned into a black blade and struck Shi Mu's hand. There was a faint light flickering in Shi Mu's left hand. The black knife was shaken away as if it had been hit hard.
Shi Mu's face showed a look of joy. He had just used all his strength, and I am afraid that ordinary early-stage earth-level warriors would not be able to handle it head-on, but his charred left hand was still intact.
He looked at his charred left hand. The hardness of this left hand might have exceeded the level of a spiritual weapon. Even spiritual weapons may not be so indestructible.
Moreover, this left hand is not just hard.
He exerted force with his left arm, his left hand easily inserted into the wall, and he grabbed it with a little force of his palm.
He easily grabbed a stone from the mountain wall with his bare hands and crushed it into powder.
Shi Mu's eyes flashed, and with a wave of his hand, a black stone appeared in the palm of his left hand, emitting a faint green light.
He exerted a little force with his left hand, and with a "click" sound, the black ore was crushed and turned into powder.
Shi Mu's face was filled with joy. This was a piece of black lapis lazuli ore, a material for refining magic weapons. It was harder than steel, but it took almost no effort to crush it.
He raised his eyebrows, then turned his hand over again, and a small piece of purple-gold ore the size of a baby's fist appeared in his hand. This was a high-grade ore that Hou Sailei had previously bought at an auction. It was said that he was refining spiritual weapons.
Adding it from time to time can greatly increase the hardness of the spiritual weapon.
Such a small piece is worth more than 10,000 spiritual stones, which is quite a lot.
But now that Shi Mu is in high spirits and wants to test the special abilities of his left hand, he naturally can't control much of it.
Shi Mu squeezed it hard with his left hand, and the purple gold ore did not break apart, but it flowed out from his fingers like soft mud.
His expression was stunned at first, but then he showed a look of ecstasy.
He was originally a little depressed about the change in his left hand, but now he discovered that this hand had such great strength, which was beyond his expectation and was really an unexpected surprise.
Shi Mu roared loudly, waved his left hand clumsily, turned his palm into a knife, and slashed at the mountain wall with all his strength.
The black palm shadow flickered, the mountain wall made a loud rumbling sound, huge slashes appeared one after another, and large rocks fell like rain.
In just a few breaths, most of the mountain wall collapsed.
On the mountain wall not far away, the somewhat sleepy Cai'er was shocked when she saw this situation, but after taking a look at Shi Mu below, she turned over and continued to close her eyes.
In the valley, Shi Mu looked at his left hand, the joy on his face gone.
He already understood the power of his left hand.
His left hand seems to have a huge amount of terrifying divine power sealed in it. This divine power is roughly estimated to be twenty to thirty times the original physical strength.
It's just that this palm is too heavy. Even though it is powerful, it is too inconsistent with the body. With his huge strength of the sixth-level rebirth technique, he can only barely control it, and it is still extremely difficult.
Shi Mu is like this. If he wants to fight the enemy, his left hand will not be of any help, but will become a burden for him.
"By the way, Nine Transformations Mysterious Technique!" He suddenly remembered the golden page in his mind.
After Zhong Xiu disappeared, everything became so confusing that he had forgotten about the golden page.
Judging from the dream at that time, the situation that happened to my left hand should be related to the Nine Transformations Mysterious Skill. If I want to find a solution, I still have to start with the Nine Transformations Mysterious Skills.
Thinking of this, Shi Mu quickly concentrated his energy in his mind, and in his mind, the golden page was still there.
He was overjoyed and devoted his energy to the golden pages. (To be continued.)
