Chapter 272 The player in the game
Lin Mu and Guyun disappeared into the vast sea of fog.
The billowing white mist had not subsided yet, and seven more people quickly flew in from outside the misty forest.
The seven people's costumes are extremely ordinary, no different from ordinary demon hunting cultivators.
But anyone with a higher level of cultivation can see that the strength of these seven people is absolutely extraordinary, and all of them are already at the peak of the late Lingji period.
The peak of Lingji's late stage is only one step away from the golden elixir stage. If you are lucky, you will most likely be able to successfully condense the golden elixir and advance to the golden elixir stage. There are only three or five cultivators like this in general sects.
Now that seven people have appeared here together, they must have some conspiracy.
"That's the two of them!" A cultivator in green clothes said leisurely, squinting his eyes and looking at the misty white mist.
He has a handsome face, sword-shaped eyebrows and starry eyes, and his movements are all capable and agile. You can tell at a glance that he is a pure swordsman.
"What Song Xin said is true. These two people are well-known, and everyone in Linwufang has heard about them." Another cultivator in purple clothes nodded slightly, with a calm and calm expression, and an extraordinary bearing.
The remaining people all nodded slightly.
A big man in black said straight to the point: "Don't talk nonsense, just tell me how to act and how to divide the spoils afterwards."
The two linen cultivators behind the big man in black nodded in unison, obviously the three of them were on the same page.
Song Xin smiled and said: "The seven of us met for the first time. We all have extraordinary strength. It is inevitable that we will have differences of opinion for a while. The strength of those two people has already exceeded the scope of ordinary practitioners in the spiritual silence period. We must work together, otherwise this will not happen." The situation is hopeless, both of you and I may die, but who will coordinate the actions and make the decisions?”
After Song Xin finished speaking, he looked at the purple-clothed cultivator and the black-clothed man with a smile.
Among these seven people, he, the purple-clothed cultivator, and the black-clothed man were the most powerful.
Behind Song Xin, two cultivators also wearing green clothes said in unison: "That's true. To avoid future disputes, it's better to decide on a leader."
The two of them, together with Song Xin, naturally supported Song Xin.
The big man in black and the two people behind him.
The cultivator in purple clothes was alone, but with a faint smile on his face, as if he didn't care.
"You two will discuss the matter of decision-making. I will only be responsible for killing people and dividing the spoils." The big man in black said nonchalantly.
The smile on Song Xin's face became even stronger, and he looked at the cultivator in purple and said, "I wonder what Brother Liang Jun wants?"
Liang Junyun, in purple clothes, said lightly: "Brother Song Xin can make the decision alone."
Song Xin's face bloomed with a smile like a flower, and he cupped his hands and said, "Then I'd rather be respectful than obey your orders. I'll just ask you to do it."
The two cultivators in green clothes behind him were also smiling.
Song Xin can decide the actions of seven people, and they can also benefit a lot. Whether it is fighting the enemy or dividing the spoils, he has many advantages. When facing the enemy, he can fly a kite from behind, and when dividing the spoils, he can be ahead of others and get there first.
The big man in black said: "Since you are the one who makes the decision, then you tell me how to do it."
The smile on Song Xin's face disappeared and he was no longer polite. He solemnly said: "This operation can only succeed, not fail. This is an order from above. Once it fails, let alone being killed by the two of them, even if you come back alive, , the people above will also kill us and silence us.”
"Tell me the key points." The big man in black said impatiently, "Everyone already knows this."
The two people behind the big man also said: "Don't waste time. Once they go deep into the misty forest, it will be difficult for us to find them."
Liang Jun in purple clothes had a smile on his face, but didn't say a word.
Song Xin was not angry that the big man in black was so rude, and said: "The purpose of this time is to kill these two people. I don't need to elaborate on Gu Yun's background. Although he is famous, his real strength is only different from mine. As far as I know, he has not yet mastered sword skills. If I used sword skills, I would be able to kill him alone. Moreover, he has a wealth of skills, sword skills, and magical weapons. "
The rest of the people burst into smiles upon hearing this.
Liang Yun, who was in purple clothes, asked: "But Lin Mu is very hidden, how strong is he?"
Song Xin turned around and looked at Liang Yun and said, "The difficulty lies in Lin Mu. If it weren't for him, there is at least 80% chance that this operation would succeed. But now that there is one more person, the difficulty of killing Gu Yun has suddenly increased. times."
The big man in black said disdainfully: "He's just a late-stage foundation-building cultivator, why should he take it so seriously?"
Song Xin argued this time: "Don't be careless. This Lin Mu is not as simple as you think. I have specifically inquired about his origins, and the results are really surprising."
"Then tell me and listen." Ziyi Liang Yun seemed to be very interested in Lin Mu.
Song Xin nodded and said: "This Lin Mu's life experience is extremely ordinary. Both his parents are mortals and he has no background. But he has done several remarkable things. First, he once organized a sect in Yuling Sect While being chased by his disciples, he escaped unscathed and killed dozens of Qi Refining Stage disciples, including one Foundation Establishment Stage disciple. At that time, his cultivation was only at the Qi Refining Stage, and many Spirit Silence Stage disciples were also killed. There's nothing you can do about him."
"He is so powerful?" The big man in black couldn't help but be moved: "It's really not easy for him to escape the pursuit of the Yuling Sect. It's really unbelievable that he can do this during the Qi Refining Period."
"What about the second one?" Liang Yun in purple couldn't help but asked when she saw the big man in black interrupting Song Xin.
"The second is that he occupied the Lake of Mist decades ago and has still occupied it to this day." Song Tongtong said: "The Lake of Mist is a taboo place for all sects, but he can stay on it unharmed. It seems that Qian Yu Jianmen also sent some ordinary disciples to help train him. Even the head of our sect is jealous of such a good thing."
"This cannot explain anything." Ziyi Liang Yun said lightly: "He is just in the foundation building stage. On the Lake of Mist, even the golden elixir stage cultivators dare not set foot easily. There may be another reason why he can monopolize it."
Song Xin nodded: "This is just one of them, but it is enough to show that he is different. Not only that, his strength is not bad at all. When he returned to the sect to accept disciples, he had a fierce battle with Qianyu Jianmen Lengshan . Leng Shan had already understood the sword skills at that time, but when he and others were surrounded, he was unable to stop Lin Mu with his sword skills, and was ultimately defeated by Lin Mu. "
"Even sword skills can't defeat him?" Ziyi Liang Yun couldn't help but said with emotion: "He is so powerful?"
"That's not all." Song Xin continued: "He then opened a shop in Linwufang, and he opened the Baibao Pavilion. The business was extremely prosperous and he had already made a lot of money. He is the leader of this talisman and seal trend. The driving force behind the scenes.”
The big man in black couldn't help but be surprised and said: "This trend of talisman and seal script was actually created by him?"
"It's absolutely true!" Song Xin also said with admiration: "This trend of talisman and seal script came so unexpectedly and quickly. I thought it was some sect that was behind it, but after the spies from the sect investigated, they found that this trend was so sudden and violent. The trend of using talismans and seal scripts started due to Lin Mu."
"That's really a lot of money!" A tall man in linen clothes praised.
"According to my preliminary estimate, Lin Mu's net worth is worth at least three million low-grade spiritual stones!" A cultivator in green clothes also followed closely.
"Then we will also make a lot of money!" Another hemp-clothed cultivator laughed.
Liang Jun, who was in purple clothes, frowned and asked Song Tongtong: "Then how did he and Guyun get acquainted?"
"That's the problem!" Song Tongtong said: "Before, a group of people were sent to kill Guyun. At that time, Guyun was only in the early stage of spiritual silence. What he thought was a foolproof action ended up failing. Everyone who went there failed. After he died in the misty forest, Gu Yun and Lin Mu appeared together. Therefore, it is very likely that Lin Mu saved Gu Yun at that time."
"So that's it." Zi Yi Liang Yuruo realized something: "I said how could he be so comfortable in Linwufang? It turns out that he has Gu Yun's support behind him. This Lin Mu is really not simple. Whether it is strength or scheming, he is not easy. For others, this operation needs to be carefully planned.”
The face of the big man in black is also extremely solemn. Such an opponent is indeed very difficult to deal with.
"The Wushuang Sword Sect has countless powerful disciples, but Gu Yun never brought anyone with him. He only went there with Lin Mu." Song Xin said solemnly: "It can also be seen from this that in Gu Yun's heart, Lin Mu's strength is... He is better than the top masters in his sect, so we must not be careless at all and don’t be deceived by his cultivation in the foundation building stage!”
This time, all six people nodded in unison, and no one had any objections.
Song Xin looked at the six people and said with satisfaction: "This careful layout has now reached the harvest stage. Gu Yun has been fooled and will definitely go to the depths of the misty forest to collect herbs. In this case, we don't need to waste any more energy searching. , just go there and wait.”
The remaining people nodded in agreement, but the purple-clothed cultivator said slightly worriedly: "I always feel something is wrong. Although this layout is carefully constructed, it is not unusual to deceive Guyun, but how can you deceive Master Wushuang? Is this the beginning of another conspiracy? Perhaps we are also caught up in it.”
As soon as this statement came out, Song Xin and the big man in black felt that it made sense.
In this arrangement, Master Wushuang did not make any move at all, as if he was not aware of it, which was really a bit strange.
Although they all have great admiration for the people above them, Master Wushuang is the number one person in Tianxiao Realm after all. It would be too much to deceive oneself and others if they say that they really haven't discovered even a single clue.
Song Tongtong: "This is not something we should think about. Our only goal now is to kill the two of them."
The big man in black was not good at this kind of intrigue, so he nodded quickly and said, "That's right. Let's just kill people, don't think too much about it."
"Then let's go." Ziyi Liang Yun said.
Several figures flashed and immediately escaped into the vast white mist.
While Liang Yun was flying, he was also thinking secretly.
He can see the abnormality of Master Wushuang, and the people above must know better than him.
But now, he is still sent to kill Guyun. Why?
Are they not afraid that Master Wushuang will also set an ambush?
Or, in their eyes, he, like Song Xin and the big man in black, is just a chess piece that can be discarded at will?
Thinking of this, Liang Yun couldn't help but feel a sense of sadness in her heart.
