At this moment, there was a roar, and then a huge hammer shadow shimmering with purple thunder suddenly appeared in the sky above Lu Lang, and slammed down hard.
The sound of wind and thunder burst out from the hammer shadow, deafening.
"Stop!" Ximen Xue shouted when he saw this, and at the same time, the white spiritual ruler in his hand lit up with white light.
However, due to the suddenness of the incident, it was too late for Ximen Xue to save him.
As the hammer shadow fell, a large piece of purple lightning roared down, instantly submerging Lu Lang, and his body and soul were instantly wiped out.
Immediately afterwards, three figures fell from the sky and landed around Ximen Xue and others. It was Qin Gang, the purple-browed young man Lei Ji, and the enchanting woman Lin Tao. The surface of the purple stone hammer in Qin Gang's hand was filled with electric light.
At this time, the remaining disciples of the Lichen Sect saw that Qin Gang and others did not pursue them, so they also surrounded them.
Shi Mu took a glance and found that except for the four people Qin Gang and Ximen Xue, there were still five Lichen Sect disciples left at this time.
"Junior Sister Xue'er, are you okay?" As soon as Qin Gangfang landed, he did not look at Shi Mu and Yan Luo, but immediately asked Ximen Xue with concern.
Seeing this, Lin Tao frowned slightly.
"Qin Gang, why do you want to kill Lu Lang? Even if he betrays the master, he should be captured and brought back to the famous master!" Ximen Xue frowned slightly and said with a flash of disgust.
"Junior Sister Ximen is really ignorant. Senior Brother Qin is obviously worried that the traitor Lu Lang will rise again. What if he hurts Junior Sister again?" Lin Tao said coldly.
"Lu Langxiu is not as good as me. He has already lost his spiritual weapon before. Could it be that Senior Sister Lin thinks that he can still be my opponent with his bare hands?" Ximen Xue refuted coldly.
Lin Tao was about to retort, but Qin Gang reached out to stop him and said:
"Okay! Lu Lang betrayed the enemy on the battlefield and attacked his fellow disciples. His crime is unforgivable. I will reveal my name in front of Master."
As soon as these words came out, Lin Tao and Ximen Xue stopped talking. Ximen Xue turned her eyes and looked at Shi Mu.
"By the way, who are you, and why did you suddenly appear in this White Cloud Temple?" Before Ximen Xue could speak, Qin Gang asked unceremoniously, staring at Shi Mu.
"Myself, Mu Lei, is not from this Jimanxing. I happened to pass by this place with my two attendants. I have always heard that the scenery of Baiyun Temple is unique, so I came here to see it. I didn't expect that my luck was not so good." Shi Mu replied lightly.
Yan Luo was dressed in gray clothes. She was thin and wore a felt hat on her head. She looked like a servant. Standing behind Shi Mu, she looked so inconspicuous that no one in the room noticed her.
"Junior sister Xue'er, next time you should stay closer to senior brother. Senior brother's ability is enough to protect you. How could it be the turn of irrelevant people to intervene." Qin Gang looked at Shi Mu up and down with some suspicion, and then turned around.
And said to Ximen Xue with a smile.
Ximen Xue ignored Qin Gang, but didn't say anything else.
Qin Gang turned his head and looked at Shi Mu for a while, rolled his eyes slightly, and suddenly put on a smiling face and said: "Brother Mu, I think you are quite powerful, why don't you accompany us to hunt down the remnants who escaped just now.
After success, I, the Lichen Sect, will definitely not treat you badly, what do you think?"
"Thanks to Brother Qin for the promotion, I like to act as I please, and I have no interest in chasing down the remnants." Shi Mu said.
"Senior Brother Qin invited me, it's your honor, but you don't know how to appreciate it!" Lei Ji, the purple-browed young man, said in a deep voice.
"Senior Brother Lei Ji, don't be angry! I think this fellow Daoist Mu is probably doing this because he likes our Junior Sister Ximen, so how could he accept Senior Brother Qin's invitation?" Lin Tao smiled slightly, but it was not necessary to be shady.
Said in a Yang tone.
As soon as these words came out, Qin Gang's face suddenly darkened.
"This fellow Taoist Mu has just extended a helping hand to save us. I would also like to ask all brothers and sisters to pay attention to your words," Ximen said.
"Hey, what I said is wrong, Junior Sister Ximen. I think he only helped you, but I haven't seen him help me. I'll wait a minute or two. Moreover, if this person hadn't rushed in without thinking,
After a beating, those two guys may not be able to escape!" The enchanting woman glanced at the scars on her arms and said with dissatisfaction.
"Junior Sister Ximen, I am not the one who said this. This person's origin is unknown and he is so courteous to you. He probably has some evil intentions. Don't be careless and mistrust the bad guy." Lei Ji said.
"Junior sister, I still have this knowledge, so I don't want Brother Lei to worry about it." Ximen Xue said calmly.
Lei Ji's face became a little ugly when she choked him like this, but because of Qin Gang's face, he couldn't get angry easily.
"Okay, since Brother Mu doesn't want to go with us, we can't force him. Junior Sister Xue'er, let's go and hunt down the remnants of those who defected. If it's a little later, I'm afraid they will be able to escape." Qin Gang shouted.
He stopped everyone and said to Ximen Xue.
"Sorry, Senior Brother Qin. When I came to participate in this mission, my little sister made it clear that she would return to the sect after the mission was completed. Now that Baiyun Temple has been cleared, the mission is completed as long as the sect sends someone to take over.
Next, there are many things to prepare for the selection of the 'Kunlun Holy Ruins', so I forgive you, little sister, for not delaying here." Ximen Xue bowed to him and said.
Kunlun Holy Ruins?
Shi Mu accidentally caught a glimpse of Yan Luo's body shaking slightly when he heard these words. He was obviously touched by something, but at this moment in front of everyone, it was difficult to ask.
Qin Gang was bluntly rejected by Ximen Xue, and his face became even more ugly. However, he also knew Ximen Xue's character, so he did not try to persuade him. He only said "Junior sister, take care", and then led everyone away from Baiyun Temple to pay homage to the remnants of the rebellion.
I chased him in the direction of escape.
Before he left, he did not forget to take a deep look at Shi Mu. The warning and threat were very obvious, but Shi Mu just smiled faintly.
After seeing everyone go away, Ximen Xue turned her gaze back to Shi Mu, bowed to him, and said:
"Thanks to fellow Taoist Mu for rescuing me, my little sister didn't even have time to thank you, but instead made fellow Taoist suffer such vicious remarks. I hope you will forgive me and don't argue with my senior brothers and sisters."
"It doesn't matter, my strength is not that good, I can't deserve praise. Your senior brothers and sisters didn't say anything wrong." Shi Mu said with a smile.
"As for Fellow Daoist Mu, the two hands that senior brother showed just now have already defeated my senior brothers who have high ambitions. If Fellow Daoist Mu says that his strength is low, little sister, I will really
I feel so ashamed." Ximen Xue said.
"Junior sister Ximen has already reached a high position at a young age, far beyond her peers. There is no reason to be ashamed of herself." Shi Mu said with a smile.
"The boundless star field and the endless sea. Even if you are a strong Saint-level person, you are often shackled in life and life. What does a mere heavenly position mean? If you can enter the divine realm in the future, only then can you truly have great freedom and enjoy true freedom.
The great freedom." Ximen Xue looked into the deep sky and said with a longing expression.
Shi Mu looked at this scene and seemed to have thought of something. A strange look appeared on his face and he was speechless for a long time.
Ximen Xue seemed to sense Shi Mu's strangeness, and said with some embarrassment: "My arrogance made fellow Taoist Mu laugh. By the way, I haven't asked yet, where did fellow Taoist Mu learn from me? And why are you here?"
"I am an ordinary disciple of Qinglan Holy Land. I came to this Celestial Star to perform a mission in the sect. Now that the mission has been completed, I am planning to return with my servants." Shi Mu said.
"It turns out that he is a disciple of Qinglan Holy Land. No wonder Taoist friend Mu is so profound in Taoism." Ximen Xue said.
"Where... I just heard you mention the 'Kunlun Holy Ruins', Junior Sister Ximen. I wonder where that place is?" Shi Mu asked pretending to be casual.
"Fellow Daoist Mu has been away from the master for some time, right? I'm afraid you still don't know about the decisive battle between the three holy lands and the black demon clan before, right?" Ximen Xue asked.
"When I left the division, I only knew that the war between the two sides was still in a stalemate. I really didn't know anything about the decisive battle on the front line." Shi Mu said half-truthfully.
"It is said that during the battle between the three holy lands and the Black Demon clan, the fierce fighting caused chaos in the chaotic energy of the star field, which led to the emergence of a ruins in the fairy world. Later, it was confirmed by a certain god in the three holy lands that
That ruins should be the Kunlun Sanctuary that was rumored to have been destroyed during the turmoil in the immortal world more than a thousand years ago. Although this place is in ruins, there are still rumors that there are many real immortal treasures hidden in it." Ximen Xue said.
.
While Ximen Xue was telling this, Shi Mu kept paying attention to Yan Luo beside him from the corner of his eye.
Sure enough, when he heard these words, Yan Luo's expression changed again. Shi Mu was almost certain that Yan Luo probably had some connection with the Kunlun Holy Land.
"The rumors may not be taken seriously. If there really is any treasure from the Immortal Family, I'm afraid this place would have been trampled to the ground by cultivators who heard about it, right?" Shi Mu said half-jokingly.
"Brother Mu is joking, the Kunlun Holy Ruins has only just revealed a corner. It is sealed by a very powerful ancient restriction. Even the strong ones in the divine realm cannot break through it, and it is even more difficult for ordinary people to penetrate it.
." Ximen Xue said.
"Then isn't this the moon in the water, the flower in the mirror, which can be seen but cannot be touched, making people feel itchy in vain?" Shi Mu said.
"A powerful person in the divine realm may not be able to break the seal, but it is different with multiple divine realms. In fact, the three holy places have reached a consensus, and it is scheduled that the holy masters of the three holy places will work together to break the seal in one year.
According to the ancient ban, the three major holy places can send disciples below the holy level to enter the holy ruins to search for treasures." Ximen Xue explained.
"Oh, why are only people below the Holy level allowed? The Kunlun Holy Ruins has such a strong ban on the outside world, and I'm afraid it's also dangerous inside. Wouldn't it be more reliable if a strong Saint-level person leads the team?" Shi Mu asked. (To be continued.
