"As for the Tianfeng bloodline, I only heard the president mention it once inadvertently. It seems to be unique to a very mysterious ancient family. I don't know about the rest." Xu Luzi said with some shame.
"An ancient family? Master Xu, does he know where this family is?" Shi Mu asked.
"I don't know that." Xu Luzi shook his head and said.
"Even your Chamber of Commerce doesn't know. Maybe it's not on Blue Sea Star, but somewhere else in the star field." Shi Mu pondered for a moment.
"Oh, Fellow Daoist Shi also knows about the Star Territory. This is very possible." Xu Luzi was surprised at first, but immediately replied clearly.
In the following time, Shi Mu asked some questions about the Star Territory intentionally or unintentionally, but found that Xu Luzi knew very little about it and lost interest at the moment.
"I have disturbed Master Xu a lot today, so I will say goodbye." Shi Mu stood up and said goodbye with his hands in hand.
But as soon as he turned around, he heard Xu Luzi's voice:
"Fellow Daoist Shi, you used to have a close relationship with the Ming Yue Sect. You have already been ordered to kill yourself by the Tongtian Immortal Sect and the Tianmo Sect. Please be more careful when walking in Quyang City."
"Thank you, Master, for reminding me." Shi Mu paused when he heard this, turned around and bowed his hands to Xu Luzi again, then put on his bamboo hat and walked out.
Looking at Shi Mu's leaving figure, Xu Luzi murmured to himself: "The president once said that this son is definitely not a human being, but now it seems that he is indeed not a thing in the pool."
After Shi Mu left Tianwu Shop, he didn't stay any longer in the city and walked straight towards the east city gate.
After passing an intersection, two men in gray cloaks came over from the roadside.
"Brother Shi." The two took off their cloaks, it was Hu Sai Lei and Yu Yi.
When Shi Mu returned to Dongzhou Continent, he brought these two people with him.
Cai'er was originally staying with the two of them. When she saw Shi Mu approaching, she immediately flew over and landed on Shi Mu's shoulder.
"Shitou, have you heard any news about Zhong Xiu?" Cai'er asked.
Shi Mu shook his head, glanced around, and took another look at the bustling city, and then said, "Let's go."
Having said this, he had already taken steps toward the east city gate.
Seeing this, Hou and Yu quickly followed.
With Hou Sai Lei here, the group of people dressed up in disguise and quickly left Quyang City. They also quietly left the area where the city was located and headed east.
One day half a month later.
Shi Mu and the other three were currently standing on a mountain peak, and as far as their eyes could see, there was a stretch of rolling mountains.
This mountain range is extremely barren, with few green trees. Huge mines can be seen from time to time in the mountains, and most of them have been abandoned.
The vitality of heaven and earth here is obviously much thinner than it was a few years ago, even compared to the original Dongzhou Peninsula.
"The Tongtian Immortal Sect is simply a moth! Digging for spiritual stones everywhere, sooner or later the spiritual veins of the entire Dongzhou Continent will be excavated and turned into a barren land." Hussere said with some indignation as he looked at the situation in front of him.
.
In any case, the ancient country of Xixia was his hometown. Seeing that his hometown was invaded and now trampled on, he couldn't help but be filled with righteous indignation.
Shi Mu looked at the barren mountains in front of him, and for some reason, he thought of similar scenes he had experienced while traveling on the Dongzhou Continent since leaving the Black Demon Sect.
Not only in the barbarian wilderness, but also in the Lushan Dynasty, and even in the ancient Xixia Kingdom today, you can see abandoned spiritual stone veins that have been excavated everywhere. This is also the reason why the spiritual energy of heaven and earth in the Dongzhou Continent is becoming increasingly thinner, resulting in the slow progress of the training of warriors and warlocks.
You must know that the reason why some famous mountain peaks have strong aura of heaven and earth is mainly due to the spiritual veins that have been nurtured at the bottom of the mountains for thousands of years. If the spiritual stones that make up the spiritual veins are mined appropriately, they will slowly recover, but if they are over-exploited,
, leading to the complete destruction of the spiritual veins, which will become a wasteland for a long time in the future.
What is the purpose of the Tongtian Immortal Sect, which spares no effort to excavate spiritual stones everywhere?
"Let's go." Shi Mu shook his head, put aside this idea for the time being, and walked away.
He is currently powerless regarding the affairs of the Tongtian Immortal Sect, and he can't do anything about it even if he doesn't want to.
A few days later, a few people arrived at the border of the ancient Xixia Kingdom and came to a small town.
This small town is the same Baifeng Town where Shi Mu met Hussere.
The town looks much more dilapidated than it did then, and the people in the town seem to be less than half of what they were back then. They are all downcast and lifeless.
"How did this place become like this?" Hussere looked at the scene in the town with an ugly face.
People in the town looked wary when they saw Shi Mu and his party, looking at them from a distance with hostility in their eyes, and no one came close.
"Who is in charge here now?" Hussere said loudly.
There was a commotion among the people nearby, and after a while, a middle-aged man with a horse face wearing a gray robe and a somewhat haggard face walked over.
"I am the mayor of this small town. I would like to ask you what are you doing when you come to our small place?" The horse-faced middle-aged man looked at the people and spoke carefully.
Shi Mu glanced at the horse-faced middle-aged man. He seemed to be a warlock, but his magic power was very weak and he was only at the level of a magic apprentice.
This person seemed vaguely familiar. I should have seen this person when I came here, but I can't remember clearly now.
Hussere looked at the horse-faced middle-aged man, his eyes flashing slightly.
He recognized this person. He was a young man from Baifeng Town back then. After all these years, he had become so haggard, which made him feel a little sad.
"Let me ask you, what happened in this town? I have been here before, but it was not like this. Why didn't any of the young people in the town see it?" Hussere asked in a deep voice.
When he pretended to be the mayor of this place, he always changed his disguise, but now that he shows his true face, no one recognizes him.
"How many people are not from Tongtian Immortal Sect and Tianmo Sect?" The horse-faced middle-aged man glanced at a few people, hesitated, and asked.
"No, we have traveled here and have no family or sect." Hussere said.
"That's it. According to some experts, all the young people in the town were captured by the Tongtian Immortal Sect and sent to mines fifty miles away. Now there are only some old people and children in the town." The horse-faced middle-aged man heard this.
, breathed a sigh of relief, but then sighed and said.
"Mining! Is it a spiritual stone mine?" Husse Lei raised his eyebrows, and said in a deep voice with anger in his eyebrows.
"Exactly. Alas, back then our ancient country of Xixia was jointly captured by the Tongtian Immortal Sect and the Tianmo Sect. People from the two sects worked hard to dig up spiritual stones everywhere. Those who were captured never returned, and the town slowly fell into ruin.
, it is much more difficult than when the Mingyue Sect ruled." The horse-faced middle-aged man sighed.
"It's the Tongtian Immortal Sect again!" Husseire said angrily.
"There is no way. They have sect backers and are powerful. We ordinary people can't resist. We can only let them slaughter us." The horse-faced middle-aged man said.
When Shi Mu heard this, a trace of anger flashed in his eyes.
Mining is extremely hard work. In the past, the Black Demon Sect also had some mineral veins and hired some mortals to mine, but they were all paid and few died.
But now the people in Baifeng Town have never returned, and the Tongtian Immortal Sect simply does not regard the people here as human beings.
When the people around heard that Shi Mu and others were not members of the Tongtian Immortal Sect, their hostility was greatly reduced.
At this moment, the sound of horse hooves came from outside the town, as fast as raindrops, and quickly approached.
"Here we come to arrest people again!"
"Hide quickly!" When the people around heard the sound of horse hooves, they were all frightened. They ran towards their homes and hid.
Outside the town, there were several vague shadows approaching quickly.
"Guys, you guys should hide quickly. Here is the Tongtian Immortal Sect slave-catching team. They are catching young men everywhere. If they see you, they will arrest you even if you are foreigners. Come and hide at home.
Let's go." The horse-faced middle-aged man saw those figures from a distance and said anxiously.
"It's okay, you can hide first." Shi Mu was also a little angry in his heart and smiled lightly at the horse-faced middle-aged man.
The horse-faced middle-aged man was very anxious when he heard this, and if he wanted to say anything else, Shi Mu waved his hand, and a soft force lifted up the man's body and sent him into a room.
As soon as he finished doing this, figures from outside the town had already approached, there were twenty or thirty people, all wearing purple armor.
There are several carriages behind the team, and there are some cages on the carriages. There are already many people inside, including some young people, and some strong middle-aged men are locked in them.
A purple-robed man with a sharp mouth and monkey cheeks suddenly looked overjoyed when he saw Shi Mu and the others.
"Haha, I've been to this Baifeng Town many times. I thought there was nothing to squeeze out, but I didn't expect there were three fish that slipped through the net."
The sharp-mouthed man waved with one hand as he said he had a crush on her.
When the purple-robed men behind saw this, they immediately ran over on horseback and surrounded the three of them.
"You three, get to the car obediently and don't let me do anything." The sharp-tongued man raised his whip and said.
"Brother Shi, this Baifeng Town is half of my hometown, but it has been ruined like this. I am really angry." Hussere turned to look at Shi Mu and said.
"Don't worry about anything, just do whatever you want." Shi Mu said with a faint smile.
"Thank you, Brother Shi." Hou Sai Lei was startled, then he was overjoyed and saluted Shi Mu.
"Well, what are you going to do? Do you know that we are members of the Tongtian Immortal Sect!" The sharp-mouthed man heard the conversation between Shi Mu and Housele and shouted in a deep voice.
Husseile sneered, his body glowed with gray light, and a white jade staff flashed out of his hand.
"It's the Ming Yue Cult! You are the remnants of the Ming Yue Cult. Hurry, arrest them all! Kill them without mercy!" The sharp-mouthed man's expression changed and he shouted sternly.
Upon hearing this, the twenty-odd members of the slave-catching team immediately drew their weapons and rushed towards Shi Mu and the others.
The sharp-mouthed man turned around the reins and retreated back.
Hussere muttered something in his mouth, waved his staff, and a gray light flashed on the ground in front of him, and seven or eight tall skeletons appeared.
Most of these skeletons are holding bone knives and bone guns, and two of them are holding huge bows and arrows. To be continued
