Chapter 259 – Ace in the Hole

The Heron State was at first blood-colored, and the heavy rain gradually poured down.

Xue Mu stood at the top of Fei Lu Mountain, quietly looking down through the smoke and fire in the mountains in the misty rain, as if the sounds of fighting within the city were echoing in his ears.

Fei Lu Mountain is not too high, but it is already the highest elevation in the Heron State landscape, standing at the top of the mountain and looking down, it is quite like climbing a mountain and having a small world, even if the visibility is not high in the midst of the rainstorm, it still makes one feel that one’s heart and vision have opened up a lot.

His vision had indeed broadened a lot.

It was because he had opened up his soul cultivation, the name of this world’s study was Haunting Soul.

Originally, this realm from qi cultivation to soul haunting was separated by an extremely solid barrier, and there was no very clear transitional relationship between the two realms, a change in nature. Generally speaking, if there is no proper opportunity to inspire, it is very difficult to cross this hurdle, thus becoming the watershed between the average expert and the truly strong in the Jianghu Lake. I did not expect this absorption of toxins to the explosion, this quantitative change accumulated to a certain degree of biochemical qualitative change, the majestic true qi and poisonous qi spiral around, straight through the brow of the Mud Pill Palace, in one fell swoop into the realm of the Haunting Soul.

Normal people can’t feel the existence of the “soul”, but at this moment Xue Mu clearly felt the interdependent relationship between the spirit and the flesh, and he could even see his own thoughts that he couldn’t make clear in his soul, commonly known as the “subconscious mind”, and he could see his own memories that had been long forgotten and were only hidden in the deepest recesses of his mind. He could also see his long-forgotten memories, which were only hidden in the deepest recesses of his mind. Everything is clearly visible and clear to the mind.

This state is called “illumination of the mind,” and it is not a state that can be maintained routinely in the realm of illumination; it is only a flash of illumination at the time of breakthrough, after which it returns to silence. You can feel the existence of the soul, but it is difficult to utilize it, and you need to “brush it diligently from time to time” in order to nourish the soul, consolidate the mind, and look forward to the next stage of breakthrough.

What is clear is that the body forging and qi practice that was thought to have reached its peak has suddenly realized that it has only just begun……. That is to say, the breakthroughs in the major realms have greatly improved the quality and upper limit of body forging and qi practice. No wonder Xue Qingqiu that kind of person’s degree of body forging has long since transcended the human sphere, and is simply not something that ordinary martial artists can imagine.

So …… capturing Cave Void, can it really be done?

Xue Mu looked at the setting sun that fell into the horizon after the rain, the last afterglow leisurely reflected the color of the end of the road, even the raindrops flashed with demonic colors, falling drop by drop, looking ominous in the heart. He pursed his lips tightly, a little worried.

I hope that this ominousness is only Pan Kouzhi s ominousness.

Cave Void …… is really troublesome. This was the first time he had no bottom in his heart when dealing with various layouts recently. It is biased that he can t help himself, and in the face of this level of battle, this breakthrough of his is meaningless …… What he can do has all been done, and the only thing left is to wait for the news, and this feeling makes people a little anxious.

An oil paper umbrella gently covered his head, blocking the raindrops that Xue Mu did not use his energy to resist because he was out of focus.

Xue Mu came back to his senses and looked at his shoulders, which were already a little wet, and then looked at Zhu Chen Yao who was holding the umbrella beside him.

Zhu Chen Yao looked at him with gentle brows, looking at him with a lot of admiration, fascination, and struggle in her eyes, which were all in a mess.

Xue Mu laughed a little, “Can’t see that you would also take the initiative to take care of me.”

Zhu Chen Yao softly said, “All the world’s living beings have to thank you, not to mention me.”

Xue Mu lost his smile, “You come to this too? I thought only these monks would say such words.”

Everyone around him had gone out to work, leaving only the relatively weak Zhu Chen Yao to stay with him and protect him. It was reasonable that he didn’t need anyone to protect him in the Blameless Temple, and this was something Xue Mu kept in mind for the Blameless Temple. With Zhu Chen Yao standing beside him in the capacity of the Seven Xuan Valley, the Blameless Temple didn’t dare to pit him easily.

Calculating enemies, one must also guard against allies, after all, the Blameless Temple was not truly one of their own. It was truly not easy for Xue Mu these days.

Zhu Chen Yao whispered, ”This is originally the truth, I don’t need to curry favor with you to intentionally say something nice. And it wasn’t me who said this.”

Xue Mu turned his head to look at the house behind him, “Xiao Qingwu said it?”

“Uh-huh.” Zhu Chen Yao said, “She has completely perfected the medicine, as long as the source of the poison is removed, Heron State will be a clear sky. In addition, she also discovered the real strategy to prevent and control it, after this matter, as long as it is not intentionally poisoned by you yourself, ordinary infections are no longer a concern.”

Xue Mu sighed, “Pan Kouzhi wanted to capture her because of this. Allowing such a person with high medical skills to work diligently on her research is a tranquilizer, he’s afraid that the people of the Blameless Temple will have expectations and not be in chaos. But if she goes missing, it’s definitely the last straw that will crush the Blameless Temple.”

Zhu Chen Yao said, “Could it be that Pan Kouzhi also has no confidence in Xie Changsheng’s side?”

Xue Mu said, “I’m not sure, because I don’t know what kind of set-up Xie Changsheng’s side is right now, and I’m still waiting for Xiaochan’s feedback. This kind of waiting …… is the most torturous.”

Zhu Chen Yao lightly bit her lower lip, “Then you’re not going to molest that dainty and timid little beauty? I can see that with your means, you’re also handy.”

Xue Mu lost his smile, “Everyone is out there fighting for their lives, where would I get this kind of mood, do you really think I’m a devil in color?”

Zhu Chen Yao blankly glanced at him, “I see you like that. When you were injured, how can you be in the mood to treat others like that?”

This glance was actually full of flavor, blossoming out in her cold and stunning posture, beautiful beyond compare.

Xue Mu was about to tease, but then he saw someone running straight all the way here, shouting from a distance, “Gongzi Gongzi! Xie Changsheng’s side is very scary, Gongzi must find a way to support Senior Uncle!”

It was Luo Qianxue who was sent back by Yue Xiaochan to inform the situation. Xue Mu colored and said, “Don’t be in a hurry, speak slowly, what exactly is the situation?”

Luo Qianxue said one by one, Xue Mu color more and more ugly, muttered: “This fucking …… biochemical crisis? And add a Terminator?”

Zhu Chenyao Luo Qianxue didn’t understand, but saw Xue Mu turned around with an open-mouthed expression, “You guys stay here, I’ll go there personally!”

The two women were horrified, “No!”

Xue Mu clenched his right fist, feeling the heat of the pattern, and firmly said, “Spirits and demons, if the World Suppressing Cauldron can suppress them, then I can do a part of it, and no one is as suitable as me!”

Zhu Chen Yao pursued and asked, “If there is any change on Pan Kou Zhi’s side, do you still have a backhand to hand over?”

“No more. My biggest trump card has arrived, if I can’t even keep them, then I can’t.” Xue Mu strided down the mountain: “The life of Pan Kouzhi is not as heavy as a hair on my Curry Night’s head!”

Pan Kouzhi took five of his disciples and withdrew from Heron State with a grimace on his face.

This time is really a big loss, not only did not even get a hair, but also lost the first big disciple. Blameless Temple does not kill him on the spot, that’s because it is not sure, do not want to lose too much, and do not want to cause him to storm up and tired of the innocent people of the Heron State, so leave it to be solved in the future. This does not mean that the temple is afraid of him Pan Kouzhi, if he is an inch, the temple will not give in half a step, the disciple is certainly not saved.

He is not as determined as he would like to be.

In addition, there are two senior disciples who were sent to “support Lin Jing Yun”, he has already used the secret method in the door to send out the retreat instruction, I hope they can quickly evacuate it. According to reason two are into the Taoist powerhouse, a will to run is not so easy to plant, will not be easy to accident.

Although there is no on-the-spot conflict, it is foreseeable that the head of the Blameless Temple will be scattered to release the evidence of this incident, so that his Mind Sect to wind stinking street, he must go back to the mountain gate to make a response, there is no time to continue to consume in here.

The Righteous Sect was different from the Star Moon Sect, the Righteous Sect wasn’t too afraid of being discredited, because the longstanding image of the Righteous Sect wasn’t so easily subverted, as long as he could respond properly, then no matter if the Blameless Temple’s side possessed the testimonies of Meng Guishan or Wei Ruyi, it could refuse to admit that it was a slur. If things dragged on for a long time, there was a good chance that it would not be settled. Unlike the Star Moon Sect’s pathetic claim that they did it, even if they don’t want evidence, a lot of people are willing to believe it.

Just as he was thinking this way, a slender silhouette appeared on the deserted road in front of him.

The sky was already dark, and in the pouring rain, there was no star or moon. Dressed in a long white dress, the slender figure stood quietly in the center of the road, appearing very eye-catching. Raindrops were intertwined around her, forming light and shadows that appeared and disappeared, and from afar, she looked misty and illusory, as if she was a goddess who did not exist in the world.

Starry eyes flashing, in the night color brilliant like stars, beautiful. There is no star and moon in the sky, she is the star and moon on earth, as if in ancient times, never changed.

The beauty of the world, but hidden with a barren and silent killing machine.

Pan Kouzhi’s heart suddenly jumped, his body stopped, couldn’t help but blurt out: “Xue Qingqiu! This is impossible! Spirit State is ten thousand miles away, how could you possibly appear here!”
