Chapter 223: Betrayal
"Mayor Liu, what's going on with this Beast Mountain Sect?" Shi Mu asked.
"Alas, it's a long story, we actually ...... Linshan Town," the old mayor shook his head, and replied as he walked.
Through the old mayor's explanation, Shi Mu finally had a little more understanding of the central continent.
It turned out that Linshan Town was a border town of the Song Kingdom, a small country in the eastern part of the Lushan Dynasty.
The Beast Mountain Sect of the Song Kingdom Sect accidentally discovered that the Pishan Mountain backed by Linshan Town actually had a spirit stone vein, so he sent people to recruit residents of some nearby towns around here to mine spirit stones in the mountains.
Because the Beast Mountain Sect paid a lot of money to those who went into the mountain to mine, the young and strong people in the town all competed to go, and the town really prospered for a while.
But then the townspeople gradually discovered that only some of the people sent to mine were able to return safely, and it was not long before most of them died violently.
Although the Beast Mountain Sect would give a lot of compensation for this, and the reward would continue to increase, as time passed, as the number of males in the town decreased, no residents were willing to go any further.
Recently, it is said that the 30-year grand ceremony of the Lushan Dynasty is approaching, and the sects of the surrounding countries seem to need to pay tribute to a large number of spirit stones, so in recent years, all parts of the Song Kingdom have been in full swing to pay attention to mining.
As a result, the guards of this spiritual vein began to send people to the town every once in a while, and in the name of twice the reward, they forced the strong men to go to the mines.
Because the Song Kingdom is not big, although this Beast Mountain Sect is only a small sect in the Central Continent, it has a considerable status in the Song Kingdom, so the people in the town also have no way to sue them.
......
As they spoke, the two came to a two-story restaurant.
The old mayor turned his head to look at Shi Mu, sighed, and said:
"Shi Yishi, there are many strong people in the Beast Mountain Sect, and the people who guard the ore veins here alone are much more powerful than the envoys, in the opinion of the old man, after you finish eating, you should leave Linshan Town as soon as possible!"
"Thank you, Mayor Mare for your kindness. Shi Mu said.
The old mayor shook his head. didn't say anything more, and walked directly into the restaurant with the help of the thin man, and Shi Mu also followed.
The restaurant looks clean at first glance, but the tables and chairs are a little shabby.
It's all home-cooked though. But Shi Mu hadn't eaten a good meal for more than half a year, so he and the parrot had a big meal, and the amount of food surprised the old mayor a lot.
In the end, the old mayor resolutely refused to accept the food money, and Shi Mu was not reluctant.
After a full meal. Under the introduction of the old mayor of Shi Muzai, he stayed in a good inn in the town.
The inn, like most of the buildings in the town, was built quite atmosphericly, and he lived in the upper room, with a large courtyard outside the door.
In addition to the courtyard gate, there are three rooms in the whole courtyard, but at this time, the left and right rooms are empty, so the whole courtyard is very quiet, which makes Shi Mu quite satisfied.
......
In the middle of a rather ornate courtyard in the town.
"Father, Lord Bai will definitely not give up. When he comes to the door, this Shi Mu will never be an opponent. This matter started because of him, and what if Lord Bai was angry with us?" said the thin man, looking at the old mayor who was sitting in a chair.
"Zhi'er, accept your fate! Our Linshan Town prospered because of the mountain, and will eventually die because of the mountain. The white-haired old mayor shook his head and sighed.
"There's a way to save this town from this!" the thin man's eyes rolled.
"What way? ...... you," the old mayor stood up, pointing at the thin man.
"Father. Since Lord Bai will never let Shi Mu go, we might as well take the initiative to inform Lord Bai of his whereabouts, which can be regarded as a clear position, and they should not pursue this matter. Other than that. I have heard people mention that warlocks usually carry spirit stones on their bodies, since this Shi Mu is a warlock, maybe there are a lot of spirit stones on his body, and when the time comes, Lord Bai will be happy, and it is not a piece of cake to be exempted from the mining quota in this town! After all, we are not the only town around. There is no shortage of these dozen people in our town. The thin man said.
"No, we can't do anything to repay virtue with resentment, and we will be sent by heaven!" the old mayor denied.
"Father, this matter involves the interests of our entire Linshan Town, many people in the town don't say it, but they are actually like a mirror in their hearts, as far as I know, Ah Ming and they have already gone to the mine to report the news. The thin man lowered his voice.
"You ......" the old mayor sat down on his chair, and he was so angry that he couldn't speak for a long time.
Seeing that the old mayor had no other moves, the thin man smiled slightly at the corner of his mouth and retreated with confidence.
......
That night, the moonlight was bright, and the surface of the entire beautiful building in Linshan Town seemed to be dyed with a faint silver glow.
Shi Mu was sitting cross-legged on the bed in the guest room at this time, closing his eyes and cultivating.
Suddenly, his heart moved, and a picture appeared in his mind.
But it was a group of sixteen beast-robed warriors with spears in their hands, who were rushing in from the door of the inn, and a thin man and a dark-skinned young man stood aside resignedly.
Shi Mu stood up, directly pushed open the door and walked out, standing quietly in the courtyard.
A moment later, a figure flashed at the gate of the courtyard, and a tall and powerful middle-aged man in beast robe took the brunt of the rush into the courtyard.
When he saw Shi Mu standing quietly in the middle of the courtyard, he was slightly stunned at first, and then his steps slowed down, and he slowly approached Shi Mu.
Immediately afterwards, the figures behind him were crowded, and fifteen beast-robed warriors poured in at once, and the well-trained two sides were divided, and soon formed three small gun formations, each of which was arranged in a plum blossom shape, surrounding the Shi Mu group.
The middle-aged man in the beast robe has a strong aura on his body, and he is a strong man in the early stage of congenital development.
And the beast-robed warriors who surrounded Shi Mu, except for the three late-stage martial artists who were in the lead, the rest were mid-stage martial artists.
The triangular-eyed man that Shi Mu had seen before was one of the three leading late-stage martial artists, and he was in the position behind Shi Mu at the moment.
"I really didn't expect that Your Excellency was still an innate martial artist, no wonder you dared to meddle in the affairs of our Beast Mountain Sect. In the Lower Beast Mountain Sect, Bai Shaofeng, I don't know which sect Your Excellency is from?" said the middle-aged man in the beast robe, and took another step forward quietly.
Hearing this, the triangular-eyed man's body trembled.
"If you win, I'll tell you. Shi Mu said.
"Okay, it's a deal!" Bai Shaofeng laughed.
As soon as the words fell, he stomped on his right foot, and his body was like a fierce beast with a gust of wind, and he pounced on Shi Mu.
The spear in his hand shone with silver light, and the body of the spear was instantly enveloped by a thick layer of silver streamer, and then stabbed forward.
A silver leopard with a long length of feet rushed out of the silver light of the spear head and rushed towards Shi Mu with a fierce aura.
At the same time, a ball of cyan light appeared on the tip of each of the three gun formations, and then closed to the middle, and a cyan wolf head the size of half a zhang appeared in front of each gun array.
Then as soon as the formation moved, the three cyan wolf heads struck Shi Mu from three sides with a "snort" sound of breaking through the air, sealing all its retreats.
Shi Mu stood motionless, the white light of his left hand lit up, and the outside of his body was immediately shrouded by a layer of moon-white shield, and at the same time, as soon as his right hand moved, the black shadow behind him flashed, and the meteorite short stick appeared in his hand, and a layer of blue light appeared on the short stick in the blink of an eye.
Shi Mu waved his hand casually, and the shadow of the green stick came out like a mountain, and smashed it towards a wolf head formed by a spear formation on the left.
Almost at the same time, as soon as he turned his head, he opened his mouth and spewed out five white gases in a row at the gun array on his right.
"Boom" with a loud bang.
As soon as the silver leopard hit the moon-white shield, it burst out with a dazzling silver light, and the moon-white shield trembled wildly in the silver light, and the surface was a little darker, but it did not break.
At this time, the green stick shadow and the five white qi also hit the cyan wolves on both sides.
A series of muffled noises came!
The two wolf heads twisted and exploded, and the ten figures flew out to the sides like clouds, rolling to the ground and fainting.
At this time, the cyan wolf head in front of the last gun array had already pounced behind Shi Mu.
"Boom" bang!
The blue and white light burst out, and the wolf's head collapsed in response, and the runes on the moon-white shield flowed, becoming almost transparent, but they did not collapse after all.
At this moment, Shi Mu suddenly turned around, opened his mouth, and five white qi spewed out.
There was a loud "boom".
The spear array where the triangle-eyed man was, due to the proximity, was also dispersed by the white air waves, and everyone flew out upside down, falling to the ground horizontally and vertically, unconscious.
At this moment, Shi Mu noticed a wave of mana above his head, and then a black light flashed in mid-air, and a black beast cage appeared out of thin air around him, enveloping him in an instant.
At the same time, Bai Shaofeng's body moved, and he rushed towards Shi Mu.
The silver light on the spear head in his hand skyrocketed, and the spear head skyrocketed five times in the blink of an eye, becoming silver, suddenly penetrating the black beast cage and stabbing towards Shi Mu.
At this time, Shi Mu was in a cage, and he couldn't dodge at all.
At this moment, Shi Mu shouted "Kill!"
The short stick in his hand suddenly burst into blue light, and with a dance, layers of stick mountain stick shadows appeared out of thin air in front of him, faintly forming seven layers of blue light mountains, and greeted the huge silver spear head.
As soon as the first green singleton mountain touched the silver spear head, the terrifying power suddenly burst out, the dazzling blue light lit up, and the silver spear head trembled violently.
At this moment, the second and third heavy stick mountains followed.
There was a loud "boom".
The huge silver spear head finally collapsed, and a huge force surged along the barrel of the gun, Bai Shaofeng's chest was stuffy, and he took three steps back in a row before stopping.
Fortunately, there was a black beast cage blocking it, and the other party couldn't chase it, and the remaining four green light mountains all hit the black beast cage.
"Boom, boom, boom!"
A ball of blue light exploded, and a ** powerful power made the beast cage tremble, and at this moment, countless black runes appeared on the beast cage, and after a flicker, the beast cage was unharmed.
"Hehe, Your Excellency is trapped by the trapped beast talisman, and you don't have the strength of the late innate stage, so don't think about it for the time being. After Bai Shaofeng stood still, he said with a smile.
