Shi Mu looked at the monster beasts that were prostrating themselves on the ground and was slightly startled.
Cai'er glanced at Shi Mu in surprise, but then her eyes flashed, she held her chest high, opened her mouth, and was about to say something, when Shi Mu covered her mouth and flapped her wings wildly.
Shi Mu waved his hand and said: "Everyone, get up. Don't blame those who don't know."
"Thank you, Your Majesty." Only then did Chongwu and the other demons stand up.
"Your Majesty, we demon clan have been waiting for you day and night, and today we have finally arrived. Please lead us to counterattack the Heavenly Court, and avenge the White Ape Lord and other brothers who died at the hands of the Heavenly Court!" Chongwu's expression
Excited.
The other demon tribes also looked sad and angry.
Shi Mu looked at everyone's expressions, nodded secretly, and said: "It's rare that you still have such thoughts, it's good. Don't worry, since I have inherited the mantle of the White Ape Ancestor, I will naturally inherit his legacy and your wishes.
I will definitely accomplish it for you.”
Chongwu and others were very happy to hear this.
"Heavenly Palace is very powerful. It is not easy to fight against it. Chongwu, how many troops are there on the Hidden Lotus Star at this moment?" Shi Mu pondered for a moment and asked.
"Reporting to your Majesty, the old generals who defeated and retreated to this star together with their subordinates have passed away after thousands of years, and their talents have withered. At this moment, apart from subordinates, there are only thirty-seven holy-level monsters on the Hidden Lotus Star.
It can be used." Chongwu said with some shame.
"The strength of the troops is a little small, but that's okay. Over the years, I have also found some reinforcements outside. I have contacted the Baohua Saint Ancestor of Kunlun back then, and have joined forces with her to fight against Heaven together in the future." Shi Mu said.
"Saint Ancestor Baohua has also returned? That's great!" Chongwu said with great joy after hearing this.
"Saint Ancestor Baohua has now recovered the Black Demon Star Territory, but to overthrow the Heavenly Court, we cannot rely solely on Saint Ancestor Baohua. Naturally, we have to avenge our own blood feud by ourselves." Shi Mu's eyes flashed,
So said.
"Yes!" Chongwu nodded quickly.
"Are you the only ones who were the subordinates of the White Ape Ancestor back then? Are there any other subordinates who are still alive?" Shi Mu pondered for a moment and asked.
"This... subordinates don't know." Chongwu said in a low voice.
Shi Mu smiled bitterly in his heart, relying on Chongwu alone as a god and dozens of saints to fight against the heavens was nothing more than a dream.
But it's useless to complain. Having these troops is better than not having them at all.
"Have you been living here all these years?" He was silent for a moment and asked.
"Yes, we dare not leave here for fear of being discovered by people in heaven." Chongwu said.
Shi Mu nodded and said: "You have lived here for a long time and don't know what is going on outside. Heavenly Court has become more and more unscrupulous in recent years and has begun to infiltrate Miyang Star Territory. The situation is getting worse. If we want to fight against Heavenly Court, we need to continue to accumulate strength.
OK."
"Yes, I will obey your superior's instructions." Chongwu agreed in a deep voice.
"I came to Hidden Lotus Star this time just to find my spiritual pet. I didn't expect to meet you white ape ancestors and old generals here. I can't stay here for long. I will leave soon. Outside
There are still important things that need to be dealt with by me, so you guys should continue to stay here, recuperate, and wait until the right time to take action together to counterattack the Heavenly Court!" Shi Mu said in a deep voice.
"Yes!" Chongwu and others replied in unison.
"In that case, please take care of yourself. Take this communication array. If you need anything, you can use it to contact me." Shi Mu said, taking out a white array and handing it to Chong Wu.
"Your Majesty, please wait a moment. Your Majesty White Ape asked me to be here. One of them is to wait for your arrival, and there is another thing." Chongwu accepted the formation plate and said in a low voice.
Shi Mu raised his eyebrows.
"You all go down." Chongwu turned around and said to the other monsters.
The other monsters agreed and turned around and flew away.
Shi Mu's eyes moved, and he called Cai'er on his shoulder, and followed him with a movement of his body.
The two of them continued to fly deep into the Tianlian Pond for half an hour. They came to a huge white mist with a radius of about a thousand miles and flew in.
There are also those strange wind sounds in the white mist here, which affect the soul.
However, when Shi Mu was cultivating in heaven before, he was not affected by the sound of the white mist. Now that his strength has greatly improved, it is no longer a problem.
"The white mist in the Hidden Lotus Star is quite strange. There is this weird wind sound inside, which can affect the soul." He said.
"Your Majesty, the white mist on the planet here is the work of my subordinates, and the sound of wind in the mist is also a prohibition method set up by my subordinates. The purpose is to make outsiders regard this place as a dangerous place, so as not to be
People have discovered the reality here." Chongwu said.
"I see." Shi Mu raised his eyebrows and said.
The two of them flew deep into the white fog in the blink of an eye.
Shi Mu's expression changed, and he saw a small island appearing in front of him, only the size of a small island. The island was surrounded by lotus flowers of various colors.
The spiritual energy of heaven and earth here is actually frighteningly rich, several times richer than the Xuanjie space of Qinglan Holy Land.
"Your Majesty, please follow me." Chongwu flew to the island with Shi Mu and came to a lotus pond.
The lotus flowers here are more delicate and beautiful, exuding wisps of refreshing fragrance.
Shi Mu focused his gaze and looked into the depths of the lotus pond. There was a green lotus as tall as a person, with circles of green light emitting from its entire body, adding a bit of mystery to it.
This lotus flower did not bloom, but closed tightly to form a blue bud.
"What did you bring me here for?" He retracted his gaze and turned around to ask.
"In the past, Lord White Ape ordered me to plant a green lotus seed here. He told me that when his successor comes here in the future, I must hand over this green lotus." Chongwu said.
"Leave it to me?" Shi Mu was startled.
"Exactly. My subordinates don't understand what Lord White Ape means, but since he gave such an order, he must have his intention." Chongwu nodded and said.
Shi Mu nodded thoughtfully, remained silent for a moment, soared into the air, and landed near Qinglian.
Walking closer and taking a closer look, I saw that in the Tianlian Pond, among several huge lotus leaves, a slender stem suddenly stretched out to support the blue lotus above. It looked quite proud.
Standing posture.
He used his spiritual consciousness to scan the green lotus, only to find that the lotus was just like the other lotuses around it. There was nothing special about it.
I just wanted to put my spiritual consciousness deep into the lotus, but suddenly I received a gentle force and all my spiritual consciousness bounced back.
"Cai'er, with your eyesight, can you see through the mystery of this green lotus?" Shi Mu asked Cai'er on his shoulder through his mind.
"Hmm...I can't see clearly..." Cai'er muttered.
Shi Mu hesitated for a moment, but finally reached out his hand and touched Qinglian lightly.
At the moment of contact, his soul trembled slightly, and a cold breath surged out from the green lotus, instantly resonating with the power of the white ape's bloodline in his body.
boom!
Dazzling green light burst out from the green lotus, exuding a magnificent aura.
Under Shi Mu's gaze, the green lotus bloomed slowly, its petals spreading out in all directions, revealing a golden lotus platform inside.
Shi Mu took a closer look and was suddenly startled.
On this lotus platform, there was a four or five-year-old child sitting cross-legged, with an ingot head, wearing a red bellyband on the upper body, and shorts woven with lotus petals on the lower body.
The child's mouth and nose were opening and closing at the moment and he was sleeping soundly.
The child was only two feet long, lying on his side and curled up among the layers of petals on the golden lotus platform. He held a golden lotus seed in his arms, from which a pure and strong metallic power emanated.
Cai'er was originally standing on Shi Mu's shoulder. When she saw this thing, her eyes suddenly flashed with strange light. She jumped up from Shi Mu's shoulder with fluttering wings and dived into the arms of the young child.
Seeing this, Shi Mu quickly reached out his hand, grabbed his tail, and pulled it back.
"Hey, Shitou, why are you pulling me? Didn't you see that golden lotus seed? The spiritual power on it is so pure, it must taste good." Cai'er refused, shouting like this, and wanted to step forward, but was stopped by
Shi Mu held on tightly.
"How come you, a foodie, know how to eat it? These golden lotus seeds are not ownerless, how can you just take them and eat them without asking?" Shi Mu said angrily.
He said this while his eyes wandered over the young child.
I saw that his skin was white and rosy, like a piece of pink jade. There was a slight smile on his round face, his eyelids were lightly closed, and his long eyelashes trembled from time to time. He looked very delicate and looked different from ordinary people.
The young children are no different.
For some reason, Shi Mu felt that this seemingly ordinary child always gave him a very strange feeling.
But he couldn't tell what was weird about it.
"Senior Chongwu, what on earth is going on?" Shi Mu turned to look at the man in black beside him and asked.
"I was only ordered to guard this green lotus, and I don't know about other things. Now that Your Majesty has arrived here, my mission has been completed, and I finally lived up to the trust entrusted by Your Majesty White Ape.
"Chong Wu spread his hands and said.
"When my ancestor entrusted you, did he not tell you about this young child in Qinglian?" Shi Mu was confused and continued to ask.
"At that time, the Holy Ancestor Baohua had already passed away, and one of our forces was severely damaged. When the White Ape Lord entrusted me with the task, it was regarded as a last-minute mission, and there was no time to elaborate on it, so I don't know the situation clearly." Chongwu sighed.
said in a tone.
"Then what should I do..." Shi Mu wanted to continue asking, but was interrupted by Chong Wu's words.
"Before I came here, I fought a battle with Heaven, and the injuries on my body have not healed after thousands of years. Now that you have come here to settle the matter, I can go into seclusion with peace of mind and completely regain my former strength. In the future, if
At a critical moment, I will naturally appear to lend a helping hand." Chongwu said.
After that, he didn't care what Shi Mu's reaction was, his body glowed with black light, and he regained his huge toad's true form, retreating bit by bit towards the mist-filled pool water.
In less than a moment, Chongwu's huge body gradually disappeared under the water, and eventually even his breath disappeared.
