Jin Xiaochai looked at Shi Mu blankly, with a complicated look on his face.
Shi Mu raised his eyebrows and was a little surprised. According to Jin Xiaochai's fiery personality in the past, even if he knew he was not his opponent now, he would have already taken action brazenly.
However, Jin Xiaochai didn't speak, and he didn't know how to speak. The two of them just looked at each other.
"I didn't expect to meet you in this place." Jin Xiaochai looked at Shi Mu for ten breaths, then looked away and said.
"I'm also surprised. How could Senior Sister Jin rob the Tongtian Immortal Sect's convoy? Aren't your Heavenly Demon Sect and Tongtian Immortal Sect an alliance now?" Shi Mu said.
"What kind of alliance? They don't agree with each other, they are just using each other." Jin Xiaochai said calmly.
When Shi Mu heard this, he showed no surprise and nodded.
"By the way, where has your kid been all these years? Why hasn't there been any news?" Jin Xiaochai asked in a different direction after calming down.
"You also know that back then I was ordered to be killed by the Tongtian Immortal Sect in Dongzhou Continent. I couldn't stay here, so I had to go to Xihe Continent..." Shi Mu briefly talked about his experiences over the years, which of course involved
He naturally hid some secrets about himself.
"As expected, you followed the Ming Yue Sect to Xihe Continent... It is said that the resources there are rich and far superior to those of Dongzhou. Is your current strength related to this?" Jin Xiaochai's beautiful eyes twinkled as he said.
"Senior Sister Jin's strength is improving rapidly. Now she has reached the peak of the late innate stage and is only one step away from advancing to the earth level." Shi Mu nodded noncommittally and said.
"Compared to you, this is nothing." Jin Xiaochai smiled self-deprecatingly.
"Sister Jin, is that you? Shitou, let me out quickly!" At this moment, a rumbling voice suddenly sounded from Shi Mu's sleeves.
Shi Mu raised his eyebrows and waved his sleeves, and a colorful figure flew out, it was Cai'er.
It hovered in mid-air for a while, then flew and landed on Jin Xiaochai's shoulder.
"Sister Jin, you are getting more and more beautiful! I, Cai'er, have missed you all the time these years!" Cai'er shouted, rubbing her head against Jin Xiaochai's cheek, looking very intimate.
"Cai'er, you little flatterer, your mouth is still so sweet." Jin Xiaochai scolded with a smile, but his eyes showed a bit of joy, and he gently stroked the feathers on Cai'er's head with his white onion-like fingers.
One person and one bird played around for a while before calming down.
"Did you just return to Dongzhou Continent recently?" Jin Xiaochai looked at Shi Mu with a strange look in his eyes and asked.
"Well, about a month ago." Shi Mu said.
"Really? Then you and she are really destined to be together." Jin Xiaochai chuckled.
"You mean..." Shi Mu frowned.
"A month ago, Ximen Xue had ascended and left at the head of the Tongtian Immortal Sect, becoming the fastest person among the selected disciples of the Tongtian Immortal Sect to qualify for ascension in the past hundreds of years," Jin Xiaochai said.
Shi Mu's pupils shrank slightly when he heard this, but his expression didn't change much, which was somewhat beyond Jin Xiaochai's expectation.
"You look relatively calm. Aren't you sad that your sweetheart has ascended to heaven?" Jin Xiaochai said with a hint of something in his words.
"Ximen Xue and I have long ceased to have the kind of relationship you thought. Since she is bent on pursuing the high road, it is really not suitable for her to continue to involve her children in their personal affairs." Shi Mu shook his head.
When Jin Xiaochai heard this, a trace of surprise flashed in his eyes.
"Moreover, the reason for ascending to the immortal world is just words to deceive ignorant people. Ximen Xue should have just left Blue Sea Star at this moment." Shi Mu continued.
Ever since the Cang Ape King learned about the Star Territory and the Blue Sea Star, including the grudges between the White Ape Demon King and the Nine-Headed Golden Jiao, he had already had doubts about the ascension to the immortal world promoted by the Tongtian Immortal Sect.
.
"Lan Haixing? What do you mean by that?" Jin Xiaochai's expression changed upon hearing this and he asked.
Shi Mu hesitated for a moment before telling Jin Xiaochai what he had learned from the Cang Yuan King about the Star Territory and the Blue Sea Star.
Jin Xiaochai was stunned for a while after hearing this. She still didn't dare to believe it. However, seeing Shi Mu's serious expression, it didn't seem like he was joking. At the same time, she also understood Shi Mu's character, so she reluctantly accepted it.
"Listening to what you said, there are really many doubts about the ascension to the immortal world promoted by the Tongtian Immortal Sect." Jin Xiaochai said with twinkling beautiful eyes.
"Doubtful?" Shi Mu's face changed slightly and he asked.
"Actually, before Xue'er was about to ascend a few days ago, I secretly sneaked into the Changsheng Palace where she was in retreat and met with her. During this period, I accidentally overheard the conversation between two senior officials of the Tongtian Immortal Sect. They suddenly increased their spiritual power.
The request for stone mines, and a batch of spiritual stones seems to be sent into a certain teleportation array together with Xueer." Jin Xiaochai said with a slight frown.
When Shi Mu heard this, his expression changed slightly.
It’s the Lingshi Mine again!
The Tongtian Immortal Sect is constantly asking for spiritual stones from all over the continent, and it turns out that they are to be sent to a certain place through the teleportation array.
Also sent together were these disciples with excellent qualifications and whose strength reached the earth level.
The so-called ascension to immortality may really be for some ulterior purpose.
"As expected." Shi Mu took a breath and said.
"What are your plans next?" Jin Xiaochai hesitated and asked.
"I originally planned to go back to the Lushan Dynasty, but now it seems that it is no longer necessary." Shi Mu said, looking a little desolate.
"Then where are you going? Is this the case with the Tongtian Immortal Sect?" Jin Xiaochai asked.
"The matter of the Tongtian Immortal Sect must be very involved, and it is beyond the current capabilities of you and me to figure it out. I advise Senior Sister Jin not to get involved in it. After all, for now, Ximen Xue's safety is definitely not in danger. If Senior Sister Jin is interested,
, maybe we can return to Tianmo Sect to learn about the Magic Sun Ceremony, and maybe we can gain something. I still have some things to do, so I will say goodbye. If we are destined to meet again in the future," Shi Mu said.
As Shi Mu spoke, his body flashed with light, and a ray of blue light lifted up his body and flew towards the distance. A few breaths disappeared into the distance.
Jin Xiaochai didn't expect Shi Mu to leave so easily. He kicked his feet violently and showed a bit of annoyance on his face.
Immediately, a trace of loneliness appeared on her face, and she stared blankly at the trace of blue light left in the sky, and she thought about what she said before leaving.
In the distant sky, a blue light flew towards the distance.
On the green-winged flying boat, Shi Mu's expression was uncertain.
Judging from what I heard from Jin Xiaochai today, it seems that the Tongtian Immortal Sect really has something to do with the Star Territory forces. In addition, judging from what I learned from Xu Luzi, the mysterious woman who took Zhong Xiu away is probably from the Outer Star Territory.
people.
He was originally hesitant about leaving Blue Star Sea, but at this moment, he was already a little shaken.
…
More than half a month later, the barbarian wasteland.
The vast wasteland is vast and undulating, and the hills of different heights extend to the horizon until a sliver of blue is ripped from the blue sky, instantly connecting the sky and the earth.
Suddenly, a strong wind blew up from the ground, and countless dust particles were swept into the air and thrown down with force. The sky and the earth suddenly became dark.
In the thick fog, a green escaping light came from the horizon at high speed from far to near. It was a green-winged speed car.
Standing on the flying car was a young man wearing a bamboo hat, his green cloak flapping in the wind, and a colorful parrot standing on his shoulder. He was currently covering his face with his wings to resist the strong wind in the desert.
The man was Shi Mu. At this moment, he restrained his aura and pretended to be an ordinary innate barbarian. He wore a bamboo hat, lowered slightly, covering half of his face.
Standing in mid-air, overlooking the wasteland, Shi Mu frowned slightly.
Compared with ten years ago, the barbarian wasteland had hardly changed much. It was still full of desolation, but Shi Mu clearly felt that the spiritual energy in the air seemed to be much thinner than before.
This scene reminded him of the abandoned mineral veins that had been mined when he passed by this place.
"Shitou, why is this ghost place still the same as before? The wind is getting stronger and stronger. Bah, bah!" Cai'er took a bite of sand as she spoke.
The speeding car passed several ruins eroded by wind and sand, and suddenly there were more people below.
Shi Mu frowned and looked down.
These people came from all over the place. They were just scattered at first, but when they got here, they gradually started to gather in several waves, as if they were all running in the same direction.
A large group of barbarians rode on their mounts, sending up bursts of smoke wherever they passed.
Judging from their clothes, they should be the totem warriors of various barbarian tribes, including both plain and ferocious tribes. However, some tribes that clearly looked like plain barbarians seemed to deliberately keep a distance from the totem warriors of the ferocious tribes.
It can be seen that after so many years, the common people and fierce barbarians here are still not harmonious. Unless there is something urgent, it is probably even more rare for them to travel together.
"Shitou, where do you think these people are going in such a hurry?" Cai'er, who was standing by, suddenly shouted with hot eyes.
"Looking from this direction, it seems to be Baima Mountain, the holy land of the barbarians. It seems that something big is about to happen to the barbarians." Shi Mu said with his eyes slightly mountainous.
…
A quarter of an hour later.
Somewhere in the wilderness.
A group of seventeen or eighteen barbarians wearing gray armor and ferocious faces, riding gray wolves, roared and galloped from a distance, with smoke and dust everywhere.
In front of them, some lone barbarians saw them and all gave way.
At the turning point at the end of the road, there is a mountain road sandwiched between two mountains.
As soon as he turned the corner, he saw a young man standing in the middle of the road, with two thick arms clasped in front of his chest, and a black meteorite iron knife slung behind his back.
The horse ridden by the first barbarian seemed startled when he saw someone in front of him. He looked up to the sky and let out a long roar before stopping abruptly.
"Whoever you are dares to block the way of our Sirius clan, is it because you are impatient with life!" The leader of the barbarians almost fell off his mount and said angrily.
"Lord Commander, let me go and chop this guy down to calm your shock!" A burly barbarian man beside him rode forward, without saying a word, picked up the big knife in his hand and slashed at Shi Mu.
At this moment, Shi Mu raised his head slightly, glanced at the other party, and his eyes flashed with golden light.
The next moment, the barbarian man felt a flash of golden light before his eyes, and his head was dizzy. Then he and his mount fell to the ground half a foot in front of Shi Mu. His eyes turned white and he was confused. (To be continued.)
