As soon as Shi Mu appeared, the audience immediately went into an uproar, and everyone looked at him.
"Who is this person who appears out of nowhere?"
Many people in the audience unanimously raised such questions.
Compared to Zhao Jian, Shi Mu has kept a relatively low profile over the years, so much so that many Qinglan disciples are unaware of his existence.
"I remember this person, what is his name...Shi Mu?" A demon youth replied with some uncertainty.
"Could it be Shi Mu who broke through the Demonic Path and became a disciple for a thousand years ahead of schedule?" someone asked.
"That's him. He seems to be somewhat capable."
"So what, Zhao Jian later became a thousand-year disciple ahead of schedule. If Shi Mu comes at this time, is he confident that he can surpass Zhao Jian in slaying demons?"
"How is this possible?"
"Haha, after all, there is a good show to watch!"
Everyone in the audience booed, and most people looked at Shi Mu with sneer expressions.
Shi Mu, however, didn't care and strode to the center of the stone platform.
Before the Wannian disciple had time to speak, he saw Guan Shanhai sitting on the red sandalwood chair behind him. He slapped the armrest and stood up suddenly.
"Where are the law enforcement disciples? Quickly drive out these rebellious disciples who refuse to accept the arrangements and are timid in battle." Guan Shanhai looked stern and shouted angrily.
Everyone was stunned for a moment, obviously they didn't react, and they were a little at a loss for the moment.
"Elder Guan, how has this disciple ever been timid in the face of battle? At that time, you arranged for me to fight alone. Many of the brothers who participated in the demon-slaying mission can testify." Shi Mu said with a smile.
"Humph, fighting alone? Ask the participating disciples in the audience, has anyone seen you on the frontline battlefield? I think you fled the battlefield early and did not participate in the war at all!" Guan Shanhai said with a cold snort.
.
"Oh, it turns out that this is how Elder Guan judges whether the disciple has participated in the war. So, I am indeed not fighting on the front line as you call it. But there is still some time before noon, so the disciple's demon-slaying order should still be submitted, right?" Shi
Mu smiled slightly and asked unhurriedly.
"There is no need to check. Are you still trying to surpass Junior Nephew Zhao Jian? There is no need for us to waste time on people like you." Guan Shanhai waved his hand and said.
As soon as these words came out, many disciples present were in an uproar, and they all obviously saw that Guan Shanhai's words were somewhat biased.
Protector Yue, who had been watching this situation with a cold eye, suddenly stood up and said: "Elder Guan, since Shi Mu has also participated in the Demon Slaying Order mission, and now that the time has not come, he should be allowed to hand over the token. Anyway, take a look first before talking.
."
Lotus Fairy also stood up, looked at Shi Mu with her beautiful eyes, and said softly: "Senior Brother Guan, Junior Sister also want to see if this disciple is trying to show off his rhetoric."
When Guan Shanhai saw this, he didn't know what to say and could only nod in agreement.
Seeing this, the previous Ten Thousand Years disciple stepped forward, took his demon-slaying order from Shi Mu's hand, and came to the white jade.
He pointed one hand at the demon-slaying order, and a black light immediately flew out from the order and shot into the white jade.
The light on the jade was blurred for a while, and then above Zhao Jian's group of boys, another line of small golden characters suddenly appeared:
"Shi Mu, killed two black demons in the divine realm, seven in the holy realm, and 213 in the heavenly realm. The total reward is 389,400 Xuanling points."
"God realm?"
As soon as this string of small characters appeared, there was a strange silence in the square, and then it seemed like it was boiling, and a noise like a mountain roaring and a tsunami erupted.
All kinds of surprises, admirations, doubts, and even curses filled the square.
Zhao Jian frowned and looked at Shi Mu gloomily, with strong murderous intent in his eyes.
Shi Mu looked at him calmly, with no trace of fear on his face, but a hint of teasing.
"quiet!"
Guan Shanhai's face was also a little ugly, and he shouted loudly, and a strong spiritual pressure suddenly swept across the entire square, and the disciples under the stone platform suddenly fell silent.
Then he turned his eyes to Shi Mu, and instead of being angry, he smiled and said, "Haha, Shi Mu, are you treating us like fools?"
"Shi Mu, what on earth is going on?" Protector Yue also looked at Shi Mu solemnly and asked.
"Protector Yue, what else do you have to ask? This kid must have done something to the Demon Slaying Order. This achievement is countless!" Guan Shanhai said angrily.
"I dare to ask Elder Guan, if a disciple with this level of strength can tamper with the demon-slaying order specially made by the elders of the Holy Land, then there should be more than one person in this mission who can decide their own points at will, right?" Shi Mu deliberately glanced at Zhao Jian,
He asked as if he was pointing something.
Guan Shanhai was suffocated when he heard this, and his face became a little ugly again.
Protector Yue waved, took the token from the Wannian disciple's hand, closed his eyes to examine it for a moment, and then suddenly opened his eyes.
He glanced at Shi Mu and asked: "There is nothing wrong with the token. Once the prohibition in it is touched, it will destroy itself. Shi Mu, tell us truthfully how you killed the two black demon gods."
From a powerful person?"
"Elder Qi, this disciple was alone. He originally went to the edge of the Pumice Star Sea to inspect the enemy's situation. As a result, he was accidentally swept into the depths of the Pumice Star Sea by a whirlpool. Then he encountered these two god-level experts from the Black Demon Clan fighting each other.
The fight lasted for three days and three nights, until both sides were injured and dying. Only then did I, the fisherman, take advantage." Shi Mu said, holding up his hands.
"Impossible! You are talking nonsense." Guan Shanhai said angrily.
Shi Mu's expression remained unchanged and he replied calmly: "Although this situation is quite strange, it is indeed like this. Otherwise, how could a heavenly disciple of mine be able to kill a powerful person in the divine realm? Protector Yue also said before, disciple
There is nothing wrong with the Demon-Slaying Order, and the records in it cannot be deceptive."
Protector Yue looked at Shi Mu with a frown, as if something suddenly occurred to him, and asked: "Is the sudden withdrawal of the Black Demon Tribe from the Miyang Star Territory related to this matter?"
"This... disciple is not sure. I have just been able to return to the Holy Land." Shi Mu was startled and replied.
"This matter is of great importance. I think it is necessary to report it to the Holy Lord." Protector Yue pondered for a moment and said.
Guan Shanhai frowned and said, "The previous remarks were obviously made up by this man casually. How can they be taken seriously? Wouldn't it be absurd to alarm the Holy Lord because of this?"
"Whether what Shi Mu said is true or not, I think the Holy Master has made his own decision. If we conceal it and don't retaliate, who can bear the blame from the Holy Master?" Protector Yue said.
Guan Shanhai opened his mouth, still wanting to argue, when he saw a sudden fluctuation in the sky above the square, and then a burst of white light lit up, and a blurry figure emerged from it.
Upon seeing this, Protector Yue and others immediately leaned over to salute and shouted: "See the Holy Lord."
As soon as he finished speaking, thousands of disciples in the square also came down to pay homage.
In the white light, the phantom said: "There is no problem with Shi Mu's demon-slaying order."
Having said that, he ignored the reactions of everyone in the square, rolled up his sleeves and wrapped Shi Mu inside.
The next moment, the two figures disappeared from the square.
The Qinglan disciples on the square were unable to react for a moment and were all stunned on the spot. Many looked at the three saints on the stage, but more of them looked at Zhao Jian, who was standing alone.
Zhao Jian raised his head and looked at the sky where the phantom of Holy Lord Qinglan disappeared. The fierce look in his eyes flashed away, and then with a cold voice, he turned and left in the distance.
…
Shi Mu was rolled up by Su Sheng's sleeves. After a moment of spinning, he stood up again, only to find that he had arrived at a deep green pool.
On the side of the pool close to the mountain wall, there is a 100-foot waterfall, pouring vertically from the top of the mountain into the green pool.
The protruding rocks on the mountain wall collide with the water flow, stirring up thousands of silver beads and scattering crystal light.
A large amount of water mist rose above the Bitan, and under the sunlight, an arc-shaped rainbow more than ten feet wide appeared, looking like a colorful curved bridge stretched between the mountain walls.
Beside the deep pool below the waterfall, there is a huge bluestone. Next to the stone is a tall, half-bent ancient pine, which just casts a shade on the bluestone.
Shi Mu stood on the bluestone and looked towards the ancient pine tree. He saw an old man with white eyebrows sitting cross-legged under the shade of the ancient pine tree. His eyebrows were lowered and his eyes were looking at him calmly.
The old man's eyes were like the deep blue pool next to Shi Mu. They were extremely deep and showed no emotion at all.
When he saw the old man's face clearly, Shi Mu couldn't help but be surprised. He was actually the old man in the dream who taught the white ape the skills and how to practice them.
However, when he felt it carefully, Shi Mu felt that there seemed to be a slight difference between him and the old man in the dream, but he couldn't tell what the specific difference was.
Shi Mu stepped forward, saluted the white-browed old man respectfully, and said, "Disciple Shi Mu, please see Holy Master Su Sheng."
Master Su Sheng said nothing, but there was a slight change in his eyes when he looked at Shi Mu.
But just this change made Shi Mu suddenly feel his heart tightening, as if Holy Lord Qinglan had already understood all the secrets in his body just by looking at him.
After a while, Master Su Sheng said his first words: "You have reached great success in the fifth level of Xuan Gong. Do you have any confusion about your cultivation?"
Shi Mu was slightly startled. He thought that when Master Su Sheng opened his mouth, he would first ask about the two black demons' divine realm. He was thinking about how to choose his words, but he didn't expect that he didn't mean to mention this matter at all.
"Holy Master, this disciple does not have the blood of the Heavenly Beast, so he has to practice the Small Nine Transformations Mysterious Technique. I don't know if he will be able to practice it to the Nine Transformations in the future?" Shi Mu paused and asked.
"When the Nine Transformations are completed, all those who have practiced this skill for thousands of years will be used to make wedding clothes for those who have achieved perfection. Therefore, if this person does not have the blood of heavenly beasts, there is absolutely no way he can withstand the majestic power gathered during the Nine Transformations.
Strength." Master Su Sheng replied.
"May I ask the Holy Master, how can a disciple obtain the bloodline of a heavenly beast?" Shi Mu felt a shiver in his heart and asked again.
"The heavenly beasts have been inherited since ancient times. Except for some direct families who passed on the secret arts through blood, the collateral lines have already become increasingly rare. It is extremely difficult for them to awaken the day after tomorrow." Master Su Sheng replied.
"So, there is a law to follow, and it's not completely impossible?" After hearing this, Shi Mu's eyes lit up and he asked quickly.
