Chapter 1089: Driving the tiger away from the mountain
The Xu Mansion was silent.
It was so quiet that it was a little scary.
Lin Mu walked forward, and a servant poked his head out, very alert.
Seeing that it was Lin Mu, he was stunned at first, then ecstatic, and ran out quickly, "You're back?"
Lin Mu smiled and nodded.
"I'll report to the master and the old master." The servant disappeared in a flash.
Lin Mu walked into the door and looked at the several Return to Void Stage cultivators standing next to him. Several people saluted and Lin Mu nodded.
Looking at the Xu Mansion's full alert, it seems that the situation is very tense.
Did something really happen?
From what Xu Qingyun said, it seems that Jun Wuxie has come to attack once, but he didn't expect that he had a nine-star refining furnace, and suffered a big loss instead, and then fled in embarrassment.
Could it be that Jun Wuxie has made a comeback?
Or has he been wandering around the Xu family, waiting for an opportunity?
Lin Mu went straight to the main hall of the Xu Mansion.
Soon, Xu Hong and Xu Qingyun came.
"What's the situation now?" Lin Mu couldn't help asking.
"After Jun Wuxie was chased away by me last time, he has been haunting me. He has been attacking many times these days and killed many elite servants of the Xu family." Xu Qingyun said angrily.
"You have a nine-star refining furnace, so your strength should be far superior to his." Lin Mu asked, "How can he be so rampant?"
"After all, he is the same as me, and our cultivation is in the middle stage of the fusion. We can sense each other's existence, but every time he appears, he escapes as soon as I chase him out." Xu Qingyun said helplessly, "Then I found that another servant died."
Xu Hong also said anxiously, "Now everyone in the Xu Mansion is in danger, and people's hearts have begun to disperse. Even the group of returning to the void stage cultivators who helped to make the jade slips of reception are extremely uneasy. One of the leaders is going to leave, and I tried my best to keep him. If he left, the rest of the people would definitely follow him."
Lin Mu's expression moved.
The matter is really tricky.
Jun Wuxie has not caused too many casualties so far.
But this kind of deterrence is suffocating.
Being targeted by a powerful mid-stage fusion cultivator, the entire Xu Mansion, except Xu Qingyun, is probably terrified.
"These cultivators who made the jade slips must stay no matter what." Lin Mu looked at Xu Hong and said, "If they leave, we have to find a new batch, and we still have to slowly become proficient. The production speed is definitely far less than theirs."
The jade slips are extremely important. It is precisely because of these people that Lin Mu has such an amazing production speed.
In this regard, he does not want any problems.
Xu Hong nodded repeatedly.
Lin Mu frowned and pondered.
It is not known whether Jun Wuxie came here purely to seek revenge, or whether the Jun family was behind him to come and destroy the Xu family and his source.
For a while, it was really hard to guess.
However, judging from Jun Wuxie's character, the Jun family is not much better.
If the Jun family ordered him to come, it means that the Jun family is even more hypocritical.
A hypocritical person is even more terrifying than a real villain.
Everyone knows what the villain says, and everyone is on guard against him.
But it's hard to say about the hypocritical person.
He hides among the crowd, and it's hard to guard against him. He may show his deadly fangs at any time.
It's not easy to capture Jun Wuxie alive.
Even if he comes back, it's hard to say.
Killing and capturing alive are two different things.
To kill, you can completely ignore the consequences and go all out.
If you capture alive, it's probably too many, and the attack is not decisive enough, but when masters fight, a hesitation can determine the outcome. The difference in strength is not big. Once you hesitate, it will give Jun Wuxie a chance to escape.
Unless there are many people besieging together.
In this way, you have it all planned out.
Lin Mu suddenly remembered something, and a burst of anger appeared on his face.
"Where are Qingniu and Tianma?" Lin Mu asked, "What are they doing when something like this happened to the Xu family?"
Although Qingniu is only at the peak of the Return to Void Stage, his strength is not worse than that of ordinary Fusion Stage cultivators.
As for Tianma, a late-stage fusion cultivator, he was no match for him.
The two of them were so powerful.
When Jun Wuxie attacked, they joined forces with Xu Qingyun. The three masters attacked at the same time. Jun Wuxie definitely didn't even know how he died.
How could such a person be so rampant?
"They are in the backyard." Xu Hong glanced at Lin Mu and said.
"Why didn't they take action against Jun Wuxie?" Lin Mu asked.
Lin Mu still couldn't suppress his anger.
He deliberately left Qingniu and Tianma here to ensure Xu Jiao's safety.
He was still worried that He Cheng would come to retaliate.
Who knew that He Cheng didn't come, but Jun Wuxie showed up.
But no matter who it is, as long as it is an enemy, it must be killed, right?
"Don't blame Qingniu and Tianma." Xu Qingyun said, "They didn't chase Jun Wuxie, and I agreed to this."
"Why?" Lin Mu asked puzzledly.
"Don't you find this very strange?" Xu Qingyun said, "In fact, the one who really has an enemy with Jun Wuxie should be you, why does he want to deal with our Xu family?"
"Maybe he is just angry with you." Lin Mu still didn't want to think in the worst direction.
"But when he rushed into the Xu Mansion, he went to the backyard?" Xu Qingyun asked again.
Lin Mu was stunned.
Living in the backyard are Xu Jiao and Hua Jin, sisters Xingqing and Xingyu, as well as those cultivators in the Return to Void stage who helped make the jade slips.
"He seems to know your weaknesses!" Xu Qingyun stared at Lin Mu and said.
Both these four women and the cultivators of the Return to Void Stage who made the Jade Slips were very important to Lin Mu.
"You mean he also wants to capture them alive, and then use it to blackmail me into doing something?" Lin Mu had a quick mind and thought of this at once.
This is indeed his weakness.
"Jun Wuxie is obviously well prepared. He seems to have investigated you and is very aware of your current situation. And do you think such an insidious person like him would go into danger alone?" Xu Qingyun asked again.
"You mean he has accomplices?" Lin Mu asked.
"It's really possible." Lin Mu nodded quickly.
Jun Wuxie is so insidious and cunning, and he always has to make sure nothing goes wrong.
At first, he was just going through the tribulation and returning to the void stage, but Jun Wuxie was able to gather several practitioners in the integration stage to besiege him.
Now to attack a Xu family, there is no reason to come alone.
After all, he had lost his body before, and his current strength could hardly be compared to what he had before.
"Did you see anything?" Lin Mu asked.
"I think Jun Wuxie may be using a trick to lure the tiger away from the mountain." Xu Qingyun said, "He kept killing Xu Mansion's servants, and then fled, luring me to pursue him, and then his accomplices would come in and kidnap Xu Jiao They may find out your secret from the cultivators of the Returning Void Stage who made the Jade Slips."
"It's really possible!" Lin Mu said in shock, "With his character, it's very likely that he planned it like this."
"So I won't chase him out every time. If he escapes, I will let him escape." Xu Qingyun was filled with the wisdom of an old man. "Even Qingniu and Tianma were hiding in the backyard, and I didn't let them take action. , to ensure nothing goes wrong.”
Lin Mu smiled and nodded.
Xu Qingyun is indeed much more experienced than him in this regard.
Ginger is indeed old and spicy!
