Somewhere in the main hall of the Floating City Fortress, in a spacious side hall, Mo Linyu and a young man stood side by side. It was the slender young man with a bright yellow complexion.
"Ying Ga, are you saying that several more survivors have fled back from Stronghold No. 9?" Mo Linyu asked.
"Yes, just like before, they are all earth-level disciples. They luckily escaped the pursuit of the Black Demon Clan and then returned here." The lanky young man Ying Gao said.
"Has everything been arranged?" Mo Linyu asked.
"Elder Mo, please rest assured. I have already arranged the rewards and given them some comfort. When the next batch of disciples arrive, we will arrange for them to board the ship and return together," Ying Gao said.
"Did you find out anything from them?" Mo Linyu asked again.
"It's almost the same as what I said before. It is said that because of Xiao Yao, the holy being in the black demon clan, all the alliance disciples who broke out, especially the heavenly disciples, were killed by him, and only a few were not taken seriously by him.
The earth-level disciples here were lucky enough to save their lives," Ying Gao said.
Mo Linyu nodded after hearing this.
"Hmph! How come that Shi Mu wasn't killed by that Xiao Yao and actually returned to the fortress alive?" Ying Gao snorted coldly.
"This Shi Mu seems to have some strength, and he was able to escape from that Xiao Yao." Mo Linyu said.
"Since we occupied those two strongholds, Xiaoyao has not appeared again in several battles, otherwise we would not have been able to advance so easily," Ying Gao said.
"This Xiaoyao is also a well-known figure in the Black Demon clan for a long time. He is very cunning and cunning. Don't take it lightly. Let's do this. You can send someone to send the reward for the mission of attacking stronghold No. 9 to that Shi Mu, so as to appease him and take the opportunity to persuade him.
Convince him to stay and participate in the next major counterattack." Mo Linyu said.
"Yes." Although Ying Gao was a little reluctant, he still nodded and said.
"Okay, there's nothing going on here. You can go down first." Mo Linyu waved his hand, and Ying Gao retreated.
Mo Linyu walked to a window in the room and looked outside.
At this moment, a little white light appeared somewhere on his waist and flashed twice.
He waved his hand, and a white token flew out from his waist, with a line of small words appearing on it.
Mo Linyu glanced at it, a thoughtful look flashed in his eyes.
…
In Shi Mu Cave, blue light surged, reflecting the entire cave with sparkling light.
In the center of the cave, Shi Mu was sitting cross-legged on a futon, his eyes closed tightly, and the fingers of his hands turning over in front of him.
As the spells in his hands change, the blue light on his body flickers like water waves.
At this moment, there was a knock on the door. Shi Mu frowned and opened his eyes. As soon as he retracted his technique, the blue light in the sky quickly returned, sinking into his Heavenly Spirit Cap like a blue whale sucking water.
Shi Mu took a deep breath, then stood up and opened the door, only to see a strange man in green standing outside.
"Your Excellency is the brother of Pastor Shi, I've heard of him for a long time." When the man in green saw Shi Mu, he smiled slightly and cupped his hands.
"Who is your Excellency?" Shi Mu said.
"My surname is Guan, and I won't mention it because my name is irrelevant. Now I am serving as a messenger running errands for Elder Mo and other elders in the fortress. I can't compare with Brother Shi Mu and you who go to the front line to kill the enemy." The man in Tsing Yi said.
Hehe said.
"Oh, Fellow Daoist Guan, please come in." When Shi Mu heard "Elder Mo," a subtle color flashed across his eyes, and he invited this person into the room.
"Thank you, Senior Brother Shi!" the man surnamed Guan said with cupped hands.
"This humble house is humble and there is nothing to entertain you, so please don't blame me." Shi Mu asked the man to sit down and said.
"I don't dare, I don't dare, senior brother Shi, you don't have to be polite." The man surnamed Guan shook his head hurriedly.
"I wonder what's going on with Fellow Daoist Guan here this time?" After the two sat down, Shi Mu asked straight to the point.
"I came here to give Brother Shi the reward for participating in the No. 9 stronghold attack mission." The man surnamed Guan said with a smile, and with a wave of his hand, a small pile of top-quality spiritual stones appeared on the table beside him. At least there were
Several hundred yuan, and three jade boxes.
Shi Mu's eyes flashed slightly, then he nodded and said, "That's it, fellow Taoist, I have to thank you."
"Haha, brother Shi, why don't you open it and take a look? The things in the jade box are all extremely rare treasures." The man named Guan had no intention of getting up and leaving, and said with a smile.
Hearing this, Shi Mu picked up a jade box and opened it. Inside was a water-blue elixir, the size of a thumb, emitting crystal blue light, as if blue water was flowing near the elixir.
"This is the Wuji Shuiyuan Dan. It contains a trace of innate water power. It is a rare elixir for those who practice water-attribute skills. People who are below the Saint level should take this elixir when they break through the bottleneck.
It can increase the chance by nearly 10%," said the man surnamed Guan.
Shi Mu's expression changed, this elixir was indeed a treasure to him.
He has been practicing hard in the gaps between missions over the years, and his strength has improved rapidly. Although there is still a long way to go before the intermediate level of heaven, this elixir will be just in time to break through the bottleneck in the future.
He closed the lid and picked up another jade box.
"Hey! This is a century-old cold jade!" He exclaimed. The jade box was completely white, with countless snowflake-shaped patterns on it, and its tentacles were cold.
This material is the very rare century-old cold jade.
"Fellow Taoist Shi's eyes are indeed like a torch. Yes, this jade box is made of century-old cold jade, but because the things inside are a little special, a jade box not made of century-old cold jade can be preserved," said the man surnamed Guan.
Shi Mu opened the jade box, and there was a white crystal stone inside. It was about the size of a fist, emitting a dazzling pure white light. There seemed to be a white flame burning inside the crystal stone, and a high temperature radiated from the crystal stone.
"Stone of Heavenly Fire!" Shi Mu's eyes lit up and he blurted out.
"It is the Stone of Sky Fire. This stone is a top-quality fire attribute crystal that is rare to find in a thousand years. It contains extremely terrifying power of sky fire. It is the best material for casting fire attribute magic weapons. It should be very suitable for Senior Brother Shi.
." The man named Guan chuckled.
Shi Mu narrowed his eyes slightly. It seemed that the Alliance had a very clear understanding of his background, and even understood the techniques he practiced.
He closed the lid silently, put it on the table, picked up the third jade box and opened it, his face was startled, there was a blue jade slip inside.
Shi Mu probed into the jade slip with a trace of his consciousness, and his eyes immediately lit up.
The jade slip records a martial skill, the Great Sun Sword Technique, which is a heavenly martial skill. It has appeared on the redemption list. I vaguely remember that it seems that it requires nearly a thousand merit points to redeem it.
This sword technique requires pure Yang Zhigong skills to be used, and it is extremely powerful. Shi Mu also thought about it before, but unfortunately he gave up because it required too many merit points. Unexpectedly, someone else came to his door today.
"These things are indeed extremely precious. My Taoist friend brought them here in person, so I won't be polite." Shi Mu waved his hand to collect these things and said.
"No, these are all things Brother Shi deserves," said the man surnamed Guan.
Then, he immediately changed his tone and said: "Brother Shi is very powerful, and all the elders of the alliance also know this. The mission some time ago may have caused brother Shi to have some misunderstandings about the alliance, so Elder Mo specially ordered me to
Sending these things is not only a reward for the mission, but also a compensation."
"I don't dare. Shi is just a small Heavenly Disciple. How dare he have any resentment towards the decision of the alliance's top brass? Fellow Taoist Guan is overly worried." Shi Mu said calmly after hearing this.
"Senior Brother Shi really understands the righteousness, but I'm overthinking it. In fact, besides giving Brother Shi the reward for these tasks, I also have another purpose." The man surnamed Guan's face relaxed, and he immediately said again.
"Fellow Taoist Guan, please tell me." Shi Mu was not surprised and spoke calmly.
"That's it. Brother Shi Mu must have noticed that the supporting disciples from the three holy places are being sent to the front line from the rear in a steady stream. In a few days, our alliance and the Black Demon Clan will have a tough battle to fight. Brother Shi Mu is very powerful.
It is a pity for you and the Alliance to leave the front line like this. I wonder if Brother Shi can consider staying? Brother Shi, rest assured that what happened at Stronghold No. 9 was an accident and will never happen again. The Alliance wants to entrust an important task to you.
Brother Shi, the reward is extremely generous, far more than what I brought here." The man surnamed Guan said, looking at Shi Mu with hope.
When Shi Mu heard this, his eyes flickered, he was silent for a moment and then shook his head and said: "Thank you to the elders of the alliance for your kindness, but Shi has decided to leave the front line and his mind will not change."
"Brother Shi, have you really thought it through? You can think about this for a few more days and don't be in a hurry to reply now." The man surnamed Guan said with a look of worry on his face.
"There's no need to think about it. Fellow Taoist Guan doesn't need to say anything more about this matter." Shi Mu said slowly, his tone full of determination.
"Well, since Brother Shi is so insistent, I won't say anything else." The man surnamed Guan said with a look of disappointment on his face.
He stood up, said goodbye and left.
Shi Mu sent him out, came back and sat down with a sneer on his face.
He now has no faith in the so-called high-level leaders of the alliance, especially since he has offended Elder Mo, how could he change his mind and stay after just a few words from the lobbyist.
Of course, he would not be polite at all about these so-called rewards and compensations, and he only wanted peace of mind.
He returned to the futon in the center of the cave again, sat down cross-legged, then waved his hand and took out the jade slip of the Great Sun Sword Technique, placed it on his forehead, and penetrated it with his spiritual consciousness.
After a long time, he took off the jade slip, his eyes shining brightly.
This sword technique is indeed as described, extremely exquisite. Once it is used, its power is infinite, and it will never be inferior to the Eighteen Sticks of Heaven.
What's even better is that this swordsmanship also comes with a set of sword control skills, which can display mysterious and unusual flying sword magical powers.
Shi Mu was delighted and immediately began to comprehend it with his heart.
In the blink of an eye, three days passed.
In the cave, Shi Mu still maintained his posture of sitting cross-legged.
Suddenly, a white light flashed on his body, and a communication token flew out. A group of boys appeared on it, but it was a message from Qingxuan.
"Disciple has arrived, please come to my place to discuss." (~^~)
