In the sky above the valley, a blue shuttle hovered, with three people sitting in the shuttle.
Xiao Li glanced deep into the valley, and her eyebrows wrinkled inadvertently.
"The appointed time has come, why haven't you shown up yet? Could it be that there was an accident?"
Chu Feng put down the tea cup in his hand, feeling a little confused in his heart. He had already released the messenger talisman before setting off. He thought that Saint Mulan had received the message, and according to the agreement, the other party should have arrived here long ago.
However, until now, the other party has not been seen.
"Coming?"
Xiao Li suddenly sounded surprised and said, "Hey, that's not right."
"What's going on?"
"She's almost there, but I sensed another strong aura from behind her. I'm afraid it's a late-stage Nascent Soul monk."
"oh?"
Chu Feng's eyes narrowed slightly. It seemed that things were not simple. It was absolutely impossible for Saint Mu Lan to betray her. There was only one reason for this. She had been exposed.
"Are there any other 'tails'?"
"Only one." Xiao Li nodded, very sure.
"You want to confront the other party head-on?"
"Dad, you have to be careful."
Luan'er also interjected, his eyes full of concern.
"Don't worry." Chu Feng smiled and said, "We just made a breakthrough and we just need someone to practice with."
After a moment, a ray of blue light flew from the sky and was close to him in the blink of an eye.
The light faded away, and it was none other than Saint Mu Lan. After seeing each other for several years, her appearance had not changed at all, but her temperament was slightly different. It seemed that the evil aura was stronger than before.
Chu Feng's heart moved. It seemed that the other party had gone through a lot in these years. Such a strong evil spirit must have been formed after a lot of killing.
"See your Lord."
Saint Mu Lan gathered up her skirt and bowed respectfully, as if she had fully accepted her identity. However, there was still a hint of complexity between her brows.
Hate? That does not exist. There is no way for her to have any hatred in her heart. However, it is absolutely impossible for her to truly accept the other party. She is stubborn, and even if she has to surrender to the other party, there is still the last bit of unruly left in her heart.
.
Fortunately, although the other party controlled her destiny, he gave her a lot of freedom. Over the years, apart from collecting elixirs and spiritual materials, he did not make any other excessive demands. As a result, the trace of rejection in her heart
It just gradually dissipated.
"We are all our own people, no need to be polite."
Chu Feng waved his hand and said again,
"How are they doing?"
"Commander Zhao and the others..." Saint Mu Lan paused for a moment, then sighed and said,
"Except for the person I sent, everyone else has died. Soul Burial Master was so angry with them that he couldn't wait to kill them that day. If he had to find out about me, I'm afraid he wouldn't leave a single person behind."
Chu Feng's eyes were slightly cold. The other party was definitely not impatient, but simply had no choice. With 30% of the souls of Commander Zhao and several others in his hands, there was no way they could commit betrayal. Soul Burial Master probably took action out of anger.
"You came here in a hurry this time, you must have guessed that your situation is a bit dangerous."
Saintess Mu Lan nodded and said with a somewhat solemn expression:
"The soul-burial master has already gone to see the divine master of our clan. I'm not sure how much information he got. However, that subordinate doesn't know much. I don't think he can do anything to me for a while."
"Suspicion has been aroused."
Chu Feng sneered and stared at the sky in the distance. At this time, that extremely powerful aura had appeared. The other party was indeed a great monk in the late Nascent Soul stage, and he had not sensed it until now.
"Lord, you..."
Saint Mu Lan was slightly startled, but before she could react, she was immediately interrupted by the other party's words.
"You step aside and let me meet with this divine master of the Mulan tribe first."
"What!"
Saint Mu Lan's face changed drastically. She had been careful enough when she left, but she didn't expect to be noticed by the priest. In this case, she was already suspected by the Holy Court.
traitor!
As a saint of the Mulan tribe, she was unaware of the situation she was about to face. The tribe's punishment for traitors was extremely harsh, with almost no chance of survival.
"Don't worry, Miss Le, he will take care of everything." Xiao Li noticed her thoughts and comforted her softly.
"It's useless. I'm afraid I won't be able to return to the clan in the future."
Saint Mu Lan looked a little miserable, but there was nothing she could do.
The grassland is her home. Even though she has surrendered to Chu Feng, she has never had any thoughts of betrayal. However, how can all this be explained clearly?
Thinking of never being able to return in the future, I couldn't help but feel a little bitter in my heart.
"Don't worry, I just need to confirm that I'm here to trade supplies, and the rest..."
Xiao Li whispered a few words, which immediately aroused the other party's slight surprise, and then asked with some uncertainty:
"Is this really okay?"
"In the world of cultivation, the strong are respected. As long as you are strong enough, some trivial details are nothing at all." Xiao Li thought for a while, then flipped his palm, summoned a sky blue jade talisman and handed it to the other party, and said,
"Take this. If you encounter any danger that is difficult to solve in the future, just crush it and your life will be safe."
"This is this?" Saint Mu Lan asked curiously with joy in her eyes.
"The teleportation talisman can instantly teleport to the inner world..."
The two communicated in low voices for a while. At this moment, the sound of breaking through the air came from far away, and a strange figure suddenly appeared in front of the three of them.
Chu Feng looked carefully and saw that the person who came was a middle-aged monk, wearing a light blue gown. From the appearance, he did not have the roughness of the Mulan people on the grassland at all. Instead, he had a gentle temperament, like an elegant and indifferent scholar.
"Master Zhong, is that you?"
Saintess Mu Lan instantly saw the appearance of the person coming, and a trace of surprise flashed in her eyes.
"It's me." Divine Master Zhong said with a complicated expression,
"Fellow Soul Burial Taoist told what happened to you. I didn't believe it at first, but I didn't expect it to happen. Junior Sister Le, the Holy Court has no way of feeling sorry for you, for letting you do such a rebellious thing."
"Rebellious?"
Saintess Mu Lan's crystal eyes flickered slightly, and she sneered, "I wonder what Master Zhong Soul Buried said to make Master Zhong so convinced?"
"Why, are you still planning to quibble now? Aren't these people Tiannan monks?"
"So, Brother Zhong would rather believe the words of Soul Burial Master than believe that the younger sister is innocent?" Holy Goddess Mu Lan's expression condensed slightly and she explained, "This Fellow Daoist Chu is just my trading partner, why?"
Are you talking about betrayal?"
"Trading partner!"
Divine Master Zhong looked gloomy and said in a cold voice, "Junior Sister Le thinks Zhong is easy to bully. This person is just a monk in the pill formation stage, so how can he be your trading partner."
His eyes glanced slightly at Chu Feng, and there was a trace of disdain in his eyes.
Chu Feng was slightly startled. He did not expect that after this breakthrough, even the great monks in the late Nascent Soul stage would not be able to detect the reality. No wonder the other party has been communicating with Saint Mulan since she appeared, and did not care about his existence at all.
Now it seems that the other party regards him as a completely dispensable existence.
"It turns out that Brother Zhong also has clumsy eyes sometimes." Saint Mu Lan suddenly raised the corner of her mouth and said,
"Fellow Daoist Chu is not the pill-forming monk you mentioned. Brother Zhong might as well take a closer look."
