"Then how did I find you after that?" Shi Mu's brows furrowed. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

"The king will stay here for three days, and then he will leave the continent of Xihe. The Ape King said.

"Senior is leaving Xihe?" Shi Mu was a little surprised.

"The war between the demon and barbarian races is on the way, but it is no longer simply a war between the demon and barbarian races...... This king is old, and he has no energy to take care of it. The Ape King replied lightly.

"On the sea to the east of the north of the Dongzhou Continent, there is a Hailing Island. For the next year, the king will be waiting for you there, and if you want to go with me, go there and find me. But when the time comes, you have to teach me the first half of the first turn of the Nine Turns of Xuangong. As for the second half of the mantra, when we leave the Blue Starfish safely, we can give it to me. It's fair to you and me, what do you think?"

"Yes. Shi Mu only thought for a moment before nodding.

"But if you don't come a year later, the king won't wait for you one more day. To tell the truth, this king has the essence and blood of the ancestors handed down from his ancestors, and he is also worried about attracting the revenge of the ancestors. Therefore, whether you are or not, this king will leave the blue starfish. If I go to another star field, I may be able to find other ways to continue my life. The Ape King glanced at Shi Mu and added.

"Okay, I know the determination of the seniors, the juniors still have something to do, so I won't keep the seniors more. Shi Mu replied noncommittally, and after clenching his fists, he turned around and left.

The Ape King looked at Shi Mu's departing back, suddenly turned pale, then bent down and coughed sharply.

......

Half a year later.

Dongzhou Continent, the old capital of the ancient kingdom of Western Xia, in the city of Quyang.

A tall man wearing a hat and a gray robe walked through the streets of the city.

The streets are lined with debris from the burning fire, and a thick layer of moss has grown on the roofs of many collapsed houses.

Many of the collapsed courtyards have grown tall and low trees, and some shrubs with well-developed roots have even extended their rhizomes to the middle of the road, supporting the road surface into bulging bales.

The man in the hat did not take a big step, but he walked very fast, and in less than half an hour, he walked several streets.

However, there are few pedestrians along the way.

Walking a little to the inner city, the situation of the streets is a little better, many houses and buildings are newly built at a glance, and all kinds of small shops can be seen on both sides of the street from time to time, and the number of merchants circulating in it has also increased unconsciously.

The shouting of various accents along the streets added a little life to this devastated ancient city, but the prosperous scene of a few years ago was impossible to see again.

The man in the hat didn't stay on the street too long, and went straight to Dongcheng District.

Strange to say, the scene in Dongcheng is far better than the other neighborhoods I have seen along the way, except for some dilapidated buildings on the outskirts of the city, and in the center, they are almost exactly the same as they were before the catastrophe.

It's as if the war didn't spread here.

Coming to Xikuang Street, Dongcheng District, the tall and conspicuous building immediately came into view, and there was a large plaque hanging above the pavilion, with the book "Tianwu Shop".

The man in the hat strode into the pavilion, there were not many customers in the building, and three or two men were doing their own work.

"I have all the spiritual weapons and spiritual materials, I don't know what you need, sir?" a young steward immediately greeted a guest when he saw a guest coming to the door, and said with a smile on his face.

"Please take me to see Master Xu Luzi. The man in the hat said.

"I'm really sorry, Elder Xu is in retreat in the refining room at the moment, if you have any needs, you can convey them on your behalf. The steward looked the man in front of him up and down, and said with a smile.

The man in the hat didn't say anything, and as soon as he flipped it with one hand, there was one more thing in his palm.

It was a crystal clear orange jade plaque, engraved with a monster pattern of eight heads and eight sides, vivid.

"It turned out that the VIP was coming, and it was rude. Your Excellency, wait a minute, and I'll go and report it. The young steward swept his gaze, his face changed, and he hurriedly said.

A moment later, the man in the hat, led by the young steward, came to the third floor of the shop, in a private room.

The furnishings in the private room are simple, and there is a round table in front of the three-fold screen painted with gold, and Xu Luzi, dressed in a green robe, is sitting at the round table drinking tea.

"I don't know who Your Excellency is, what is the reason for coming to see the old man?" Xu Luzi didn't get up when he saw the visitor, and took a sip of the teacup before asking.

The man in the hat stood in front of him, but he did not speak.

Xu Luzi waved his hand, and the young steward understood, walked out, and closed the door.

The door squeaked shut, and before Xu Luzi could speak again, the man had already removed the hat on his head, revealing a young man's face with well-defined facial features and slightly dark skin.

"Shi Mu!" Xu Luzi was slightly stunned, and then blurted out.

"I didn't expect that after many years of not seeing each other, Master Xu could still remember it. I wonder how the master is doing lately?" Shi Mu asked with a smile.

"Hehe, it's not good, it's not bad. Hey, I didn't expect Shi Daoyou's cultivation to progress so quickly, and he had already advanced to the ground. Xu Luzi just wanted to say something, but suddenly sighed lightly.

"After leaving the Dongzhou Continent, I encountered some adventures, which can be regarded as luck. Shi Mu snorted and said.

In fact, what he didn't say was that in the past half a year, his mood had been greatly affected because of the words of the Ape King, so the Red Ape Fire Sutra had been unable to break through the tenth layer for a long time, otherwise he would have already been in the middle of the ground level at this moment.

"Shi Daoyou is too modest, there is a way, the so-called luck is also part of strength. Come on, come on, sit down here. Xu Luzi saw that Shi Mu didn't want to say more, and didn't ask more, so he hurriedly beckoned him to sit down.

"Master Xu, I actually came here this time to ask you about someone's news. After Shi Mu sat down, he spoke.

"Who is it?" asked Xu Luzi.

"Zhong Xiu. Shi Mu said.

"You're talking about Elder Zhong, right?" Xu Luzi raised his eyebrows and asked.

"Exactly, Master, do you have news of her here?" Shi Mu said.

Xu Luzi listened, but shook his head directly.

"Please also ask Master Xu to tell me, no matter how much it costs, I am willing to pay it. Shi Mu arched his hand and said.

"It's not that the old man won't tell you, it's just that the Chamber of Commerce is actually eager to know her news. Xu Luzi sighed and said.

"Even your Tianwu Chamber of Commerce's intelligence network throughout the continent doesn't know her whereabouts?" Shi Mu asked.

The old man told the truth. Speaking of which, Elder Zhong has extraordinary qualifications and is a person that the Chamber of Commerce attaches great importance to. During his time in the Xihe Continent, he made a lot of meritorious contributions to the Chamber of Commerce, and there was news that the president would vigorously cultivate him, and intended to let him serve as the envoy of the demon clan, and then let him lead the auction in Cangxu City. Xu Luzi said, looking at Shi Mu's side.

"Yes, during the auction, Zhong Xiu's was indeed with me. Shi Mu said.

"Well, it turned out that not long after the auction, Elder Zhong mysteriously disappeared. At that time, there was speculation in the club that it might have something to do with you. But I never thought that not long after that, the Chamber of Commerce came with news again, saying that you were also missing. Xu Luzi asked.

"Master Xu also thinks that Zhong Xiu's disappearance has something to do with Zaixia?" Shi Mu said.

"Hehe, after the Chamber of Commerce verified this matter, it has already ruled out your suspicion. Don't hide it from Shi Daoyou, during the agreement between Elder Zhong and the Chamber of Commerce, no matter where she is, the Contempt Society has a way to find out her location through secret techniques, and this move was originally intended for safety reasons. Xu Luzi waved his hand.

"Then do you have her exact location now?" Shi Mu raised his eyebrows and hurriedly asked.

"After Elder Zhong disappeared, the guild had tried many times to use secret techniques to find him, but he couldn't find any trace at all. Elder Zhong seemed to have evaporated from this world. Xu Luzi shook his head and said.

"Actually, I was by her side when Zhong Xiu disappeared. Shi Mu was silent for a moment, and then said.

"What? What happened at that time?" Xu Luzi was taken aback.

On that day, Zhong Xiu suddenly fell into a coma, his whole body was hot, and a moment later, a raging flame broke out on his body. I tried to save her, but I was also entangled in flames, and I couldn't withstand the heat and fainted. After waking up, Zhong Xiu was gone. Shi Mu frowned, was silent for a long time, and still spoke.

Shi Mu roughly told Xu Luzi about the situation that day, but he naturally didn't mention it about his absorption of flames.

"Is there such a thing......" Xu Luzi frowned when he heard this, and fell into deep thought.

"By the way, while I was in a coma, something strange happened. Shi Mu said.

"What's weird?" asked Xu Luzi.

"After fainting, I heard the voice of a strange woman in a daze, and vaguely heard her mention what Tianfeng and what backlash. But I was in a half-conscious state and couldn't really hear it. Shi Mu said.

"According to what the old man saw, Elder Zhong may have had a second awakening due to the power of the bloodline in her body. Xu Luzi listened to Shi Mu's words and pondered for a while before speaking.

"Second awakening?" Shi Mu was stunned.

"The so-called second awakening of the bloodline, the reasons for the occurrence are quite complex, most of them are because the power of the bloodline is not fully stimulated during the first bloodline awakening. However, judging from Elder Zhong's situation this time, the bloodline in his body is probably not the Fengyin bloodline. Xu Zilu said.

"It's not the Fengyin bloodline, what is it?" Shi Mu asked.

"Although this three-grade phoenix bloodline is also a rare bloodline that is rare to see, it will never be so dangerous when it awakens, combined with what the mysterious strange woman said, Elder Zhong is most likely awakened to the legendary supreme bloodline 'Tianfeng', and only this level of bloodline can attract many visions, so that the awakened person is in danger of nine deaths. Xu Luzi said.

"Tianfeng bloodline, I wonder how much Master Xu knows about this bloodline?" Shi Mu thought for a moment and asked again. (To be continued.) )
