Chapter 58 Storm Rising
Dark clouds covered the moon, and the spiritual mine fell into silence in the middle of the night.
In the entire ring-shaped deep valley, only a few wooden houses of His Highness Zhenling showed the weak moonlight.
The Zhenling Hall, located above the wooden houses, was dark and silent.
At this time, in the main hall of Zhenling Hall, in front of the tripods, Elder Li stood with his hands behind his hands, looking into the darkness as nothing, staring at the tripods in front of him in trance.
"You're late"
Elder Li suddenly spoke.
In the empty front hall, there are no other figures anywhere!
But as Elder Li's voice echoed in Nuo Da's main hall, a ripple like a water pattern appeared behind him in the empty space.
Then, the ripples gradually became clearer, and finally turned into a man in black robes.
Elder Li slowly turned around, stared at the man in black robe, and said calmly. "Where's the stuff?"
Upon hearing this, the man in black robe took out a red porcelain bottle and threw it directly towards Elder Li without saying a word.
Elder Li took it, opened the porcelain bottle and took a quick look. He saw a thumb-sized red elixir with five lifelike fire patterns on it. He couldn't hide his excitement and exclaimed.
"Fifth Transformation Fire Pill!"
He couldn't help but be excited, this was the Fire Spirit Pill!
How many people who practice fire-based skills have dreamed of the elixir!
It is said that this Fire Spirit Pill is a unique pill of the Five Elements Sect of the Middle Earth. For immortal cultivators of the same attributes, its magical effect is better than ordinary realm-breaking pills in terms of realm breakthroughs.
Moreover, the Fire Spirit Pill is divided into nine levels, which are suitable for immortal cultivators in different realms.
And this fifth-turn fire elixir corresponds exactly to his current state and state of mind!
Nowadays, in this small southern realm where resources are scarce, even the ordinary Wen Xinjing Breaking Pill is rare, let alone the more miraculous Fire Spirit Pill!
With this five-turn fire elixir, he has hope for the mid-term state of mind!
Putting it away like a treasure, Elder Li looked at the man in black robe and sighed. "As expected of Master Muyun, he can even obtain such a magical elixir!"
The man in black robe slowly stepped forward and revealed his true face. Although he looked middle-aged, his face was white and beardless, and he had a pair of sword-shaped eyebrows full of heroism. He must have been a handsome boy when he was young. There was a jasper hairpin on his head, which tied up his black hair. Fa, it is the leader of Biyun Peak, Master Muyun.
Master Mu Yun was not moved at all when he heard this, and said expressionlessly: "I have given you what you want, remember what you said."
Elder Li was in a great mood after receiving the Fifth Turn Fire Spirit Pill. His tone was very different from before, and he spoke calmly while stroking his white beard.
"That's natural. When Master Muyun gives the order, Li will do his best to help."
Master Muyun nodded, his expression seemed to relax, and he said softly.
"Well, before that, I want you to do something for me."
"It doesn't matter if you say so, Master." Elder Li said with a smile.
The corners of Mu Yun's mouth suddenly turned up slightly, with a cold smile.
"I want..."
Speaking of this, Master Muyun suddenly paused, and then looked at Elder Li and spoke word by word.
"Go to hell!"
Elder Li's face changed drastically when he heard this, and he immediately retreated.
Then two flame birds, one red and one blue, emerged from the palms of both hands at the same time. They traveled along the arms and body, and almost instantly formed a red and blue flame armor all over the body.
But just when the flame armor was about to cover the last part of his body, the back of his head, a golden light rushed through the back of his head before the flame armor could take shape, bringing out a touch of blood.
Elder Li's body fell to the ground with a plop, and the almost formed flame armor on his body was gradually annihilated.
At this time, a black shadow slowly walked out from behind Zhuding. The golden light turned into a golden nail and was caught by him. Then it escaped into his palm and turned into a golden mark on his skin. Finally, the mark faded away. and intangible.
And that black shadow was exactly the same as Master Muyun.
At this time, the real Muyun who appeared first walked to the body of Elder Li. His figure gradually changed as he walked. In a moment, he changed from a middle-aged man to a young man. He turned out to be the head disciple Xuan Jing!
Xuanjing glanced at Elder Li's body and asked Master Muyun.
"What now?"
Master Mu Yun stepped forward, lightly kicked Elder Li's head, and said calmly. "This old ghost's position is wavering. Sooner or later, he will hinder me. Now is the perfect opportunity to get rid of him first and use it for my use."
Xuanjing was puzzled. "Everyone is dead, so what's the use?"
Master Mu Yun glanced at Xuan Jing, took out a black awl, pointed at Elder Li's body and said slowly.
"Dead people are sometimes more useful than living people."
Hearing this, Xuanjing looked at Elder Li's body and saw that Elder Li's head injury had begun to turn black and gradually spread.
Before he could understand what was going on, Master Mu Yun controlled the black cone again and made several wounds on Elder Li's body.
In the blink of an eye, the wounds began to turn black and spread. If you look closely, you can see the black air moving around the wounds!
Xuan Jing suddenly reacted and exclaimed as if he was struck by lightning. "Soul-eating cone, tea poison, foster father, you...!"
After he understood what was going on, the shock to him was so great that he was speechless for a moment!
It turns out that this real Mu Yun is Xuan Jing’s adoptive father!
Master Mu Yun seemed to have expected Xuan Jing's reaction, so he ignored it and knelt down to put away Elder Li's bag.
Then he stood up and glanced at Xuan Jing, as if he had seen through it, and said calmly. "You want to ask if Ma Liang died at my hands?"
Xuan Jing did not speak, but lowered his head and clenched his teeth, clenched his fists, and did not feel the blood flowing from his nails into his flesh. All this showed that he was extremely restless at this moment!
Master Mu Yun looked at Xuan Jing like this, and could not help but feel a little angry. He raised his hand and first cast a soundproof barrier, and then shouted at Xuan Jing.
"Yes, Ma Liang was indeed killed by me."
Although Xuan Jing had already guessed the answer in his heart, he was still surprised to hear Master Mu Yun admit it.
Then, he could not suppress the anger in his heart, raised his head and looked directly at Master Mu Yun, and asked loudly as if he had exploded. "Why? What does Senior Brother Ma have to do with you? Why do you want to kill him!"
Master Mu Yun was unmoved, snorted coldly, and said indifferently. "Hmph, it's not your turn to tell me what to do!"
Xuan Jing's emotions were close to collapse at this time. For the sake of his adoptive father's plan, he was secretly arranged to be under the seat of the headmaster. On the surface, he was glorious as the headmaster's disciple, but in fact, he was extremely painful in his heart.
Although his adoptive father, Master Muyun, had used secret methods to keep his undercover work from being discovered by Master Baihua, he did not dare to confide in anyone in Jinxuan Sect because of the seriousness of the matter.
Only Senior Brother Yanfeng Ma, who was kind-hearted and did not compete with others, became his only close friend. Usually, only in front of Senior Brother Ma could he confide in his heart and express his unhappiness.
Half a year ago, he suddenly received the bad news that Senior Brother Ma died outside at the hands of Situ Xiangnan of Shayue Sect. He was so sad and angry that he wanted to cut the old man Situ into pieces to avenge Senior Brother Ma!
But now he suddenly knew that his best friend Ma Liang died at the hands of his adoptive father. How could he accept all this and not collapse!
On one side was his adoptive father who had raised and preached, and on the other side was his only close friend. The entanglement of family affection and friendship made him extremely painful, and he murmured to himself.
"You knew that Senior Brother Ma was my only friend, why did you kill him? Why...!"
If Duan Qing was here at this moment, and saw Xuan Jing, who was so arrogant on weekdays, become like this, he would be so shocked that his jaw would drop!
