The sacrifice of Sima Qiu's branch was nothing short of spectacular, but at the other end of Guixu Island, a three-person team composed of Li Mu, Su Fenqiao and A'Zi had just arrived at an exit of the maze secret passage.
"Azi, what did your father mean by what he just said? What I heard was a bit confusing."
The location of the three of them was an abandoned dry well. After carefully climbing out, they found that they were in a small town. After careful inspection to confirm that they had not been discovered, Li Mu took the lead and came out.
Previously in the cave of the secret passage, Nagato Yan directly denied the plans of the rebels and Li Mu himself. His keen intuition and long-term understanding of Guixu Island made this former genius monk believe that everything was an illusion.
This is a deception deliberately arranged by the leader of the Guixu Sect to confuse the world.
"What my father means is that people in the immortal world think that the Guixu Temple is just a symbol of power of the Guixu Sect. In addition to being a place for high-level discussions, it also serves as a facade at most. Guixu Island is the core of the Guixu Sect.
The rebels also think so, but this kind of thinking and inertial thinking is exactly what the leader of the Guixu Sect wants everyone to think."
"Father, through the investigation these days, he believes that the fundamental reason why the leader of the Guixu Sect can possess terrifying strength is not his own talent or ability, but the support of some mysterious power, and the true face of this power is
Hidden deep in the Guixu Temple."
"So if we really want to overthrow the rule of Guixu Sect and want to know the truth about this power, we should target Guixu Temple instead of wasting time with them on Guixu Island. After all, kill one or two deputy leaders.
The foundation of the Guixu Sect will never be shaken, and the leader who can command the sea monsters is the key."
Azi carefully recalled what Nagato Yan said in the cave. Although this logic somewhat subverted the outside world's understanding of the Guixu Sect in the past, but combined with the various clues that Li Mu and Su Fenqiao encountered along the way,
, the possibility is indeed very high.
"There is another thing that cannot be ignored, which is the suspicion of the existence of the resistance army itself and General Feilong. If it is true as Azi's father said, our previous plan will be completely rejected."
Su Fenqiao on the side suddenly interrupted and asked a rather sharp question. In fact, it was not that Azi had forgotten Nagato Yan's analysis, but she was unwilling to accept it deep down.
Everyone, please go and try it soon.]
"Indeed, if the prosperity and importance of Guixu Island are just a cover, then General Feilong's vowed plan is questionable from the very beginning. It is not at all like what he and the 'Grass God' said, which is to undermine the morale of the Guixu Sect.
, but it seems a bit like deliberately consuming the strength of the resistance."
Li Mu and Su Fenqiao were not members of the resistance army, nor did they find the "meaning of life" in the resistance army like Uncle Bao. Their thoughts that were originally trapped in the fog jumped out directly after Nagato Yan's help.
, so many differences between General Feilong and the entire resistance army emerged one by one and became clear in the minds of the two.
"Azi, don't think too much. No matter what General Feilong's purpose is, we will overthrow the Guixu Sect. It will not change. According to Nagato-senpai's idea, we might as well take the Guixu Temple as the new goal.
, find a way to sneak into it, and even if you cannot seize the power behind the leader of the Guixu Sect, you must do everything possible to destroy it."
Seeing Azi's silence, Li Mu also understood that the amount of information recently was too great for Xiao Nizi to fully accept, so he also offered words of comfort, and then refocused on how to sneak into the temple from Guixu Island.
After some discussion, Li Mu decided to use Jin Fuxuan's connections. Although he didn't know if the Junfeng Tower was still safe during the blockade, there was really no better way now.
After determining the route, the three of them all put on the disguise masks provided by Li Mu. After this breakthrough in cultivation, the products in Brother Niu's store were also updated again, and the mask they are using now is one of them.
Although the original disguise mask can change the appearance, it is still powerless against the monk's unique aura. After this upgrade, this problem has been improved. When the mask automatically adapts to the user, even the aura released can be controlled as desired.
The changes can be said to be miraculous.
"I don't think I need to covet any treasures from the Guixu Sect. I'll just arrest you and torture you severely. Maybe I can get more."
This is what the demon princess said after using the new version of the disguise mask. Although her face was joking, her blue eyes looking at Li Mu always made people feel a little scared.
After cleaning up, the three of them walked out of the alley where the abandoned well was located. Only then did they realize that this town was extremely sparsely populated. There were only a few hurried passers-by on the spacious street, and most of the shops on both sides were out of business.
Due to the closed state of business, it doesn't look like an inhabited town at all.
Feeling strange, Li Mu went to a nearby shop and called the drunk shopkeeper from behind the shabby counter. He slapped him several times before he finally regained consciousness.
"Wine, sir, what kind of wine do you want? I have the best wine on Guixu Island here, and I'll get it for you right away."
The half-asleep shopkeeper struggled to get up, and raised his hand to reach the cabinet beside him, but before he could even take a step, he fell to the ground again. He tried to get up several times, but felt that his limbs were not in control, so he could only
Talking nonsense, he soon fell asleep again.
"How could this happen? I remember that Guixu Island was very prosperous. Even a small town on the edge of the island would not be able to see this. These residents feel like they are just hanging around waiting to die."
After several attempts, they still couldn't wake up the hotel manager. Li Mu and the other three had no choice but to find another way. It took them an hour to finally find a shop that made armors. There was a strong man swinging a hammer.
, looks no different from ordinary people.
"Shopkeeper, we are travelers passing by. Can we ask you something? Don't worry, your work will not be in vain. This is your reward."
Time was running out, so Li Mu did not hesitate and launched an all-conquering "money offensive." The heavy money bag in his hand was enough to buy the small shop in front of him several times, thinking that the other party must have no reason to refuse.
"..."
Unexpectedly, the man just glanced at Li Mu and the others, then turned his head and continued to hit the armor embryo in his hand with the hammer. He did not pay attention to the bag of money at all, which made the scene instantly awkward.
"Shopkeeper, we don't mean any harm. We are indeed passing by here. Seeing that there are few people in the town, some don't know what to do, so we came here to ask for advice."
Money was not enough, so Li Mu could only use the second move. He took a step forward and bowed with his hands, which gave the blacksmith enough respect. He could see that the other person was an ordinary person with no cultivation, but the hammer-swinging technique was somewhat familiar.
