Chapter 126: I'm just serious
The waters of the Red Leaf Pond are just as dark day and night, but the mermaids will also maintain the habit of resting and sleeping just like humans.
Wang Cheng originally wanted to explain his intention directly to Mu Ji and ask him for information about the Qingqi Qi Pulse, but he didn't expect to be detained on the spot by Mu Ji as soon as he finished speaking.
Within a few hours, due to the exhaustion of several consecutive days, Zhou Ling, Luo Tianyi, and Mo Qian all slept peacefully, and no one noticed that Wang Cheng had been imprisoned by Mu Ji.
After Zhou Ling successfully broke through and was promoted to a four-star martial artist, due to the fact that it took a lot of energy to repair the injuries in his body, and there was no effective way to deal with the white spots around his organs, he fell asleep while thinking about it, and a long time had passed when he woke up.
Zhou Ling felt refreshed after waking up, but because he had been sitting cross-legged and sleeping all night, his neck was a little sore and sore, so he walked out of the cave and moved his neck, and just happened to meet Mo Qian who also walked out of the nearby cave.
"It's been a long time since I've slept like this, Senior Brother Mo can sleep well?" Zhou Ling said to Mo Qian.
"Yes, I finally have a place to rest, of course I have to get a good night's sleep. Mo Qian shook his arm and said.
"Is Senior Brother Wang still sleeping?" Zhou Ling didn't see Wang Cheng and suddenly felt a little curious.
"Didn't he share a cave with you?" Mo Qian said after a pause.
"No, after I separated from you, I went to another cave residence, and I thought that Senior Brother Wang Cheng would still live with you when he came back. Zhou Ling had a bad premonition in his heart, according to Wang Cheng's personality, he would not go back for so long without news.
"Oh no, he must have been trapped in the Lingxiao Cave!" Mo Qian, who reacted, exclaimed.
"Let's go, hurry up to Lingxiao Cave!" Zhou Ling said immediately.
"Where are you going?"
At this moment, the figure of the thistle suddenly appeared in front of the two of them, looking at them with a smile.
"What happened to Senior Brother Wang Cheng, who went to Lingxiao Cave for so long and never returned. Zhou Ling pointed at him with the Chixiao Sword in his hand and said, the sword aura on the red giant sword was overwhelming.
"Hmph, a little martial artist is so magnificent, you don't know where you are!!" Zhou Ling's sudden temper made Yin Ji dare to be slightly frightened in his heart.
"Of course I know where, but I can let him die peacefully, what can you do?"
Zhou Ling's tone was cold, and he was not afraid at all because Yin Thistle was a Martial King realm, and cross-level battles had long been commonplace for him.
"Zhou Ling, I know that you kid is not afraid of death, I was originally going to take you to see Patriarch Muji, are you sure to treat me like this?" Yin Ji sneered at Zhou Ling's demeanor.
"Okay Zhou Ling, since he is here to take us to see the patriarch, don't be so impatient, maybe the patriarch has some special arrangements!" Mo Qian saw that it was not a way to continue like this, so he stepped forward and persuaded him.
"I hope he won't have other arrangements!" Zhou Ling snorted sharply before taking back the Chixiao Sword in his hand, but his eyes were always full of displeasure when he looked at Yin Ji.
"Let you be scared, if it weren't for the patriarch's confession that you couldn't use force, I would have let you stay in the water a long time ago, and when I saw the patriarch, you would still dare to be so arrogant!" Yin Ji, who was leading the way in front, scolded in his heart, and was suddenly unhappy by Zhou Ling's threat.
Soon Yin Ji took Zhou Ling and Mo Qian to the Lingxiao Cave, and after entering the cave, Zhou Ling saw that Luo Tianyi had also arrived here, but his face was extremely anxious, and he immediately walked over the moment he saw Zhou Ling.
"You guys are finally here, Senior Brother Wang Cheng has been detained by Patriarch Muji!" Luo Tianyi leaned over and said to Zhou Ling and Mo Qian.
"It seems that if you stay here, you really want to catch them all!" Zhou Ling suddenly tightened the muscles of his cheekbones on his face, and his eyes looked at Mu Ji who was sitting in the central chair, eager to catch him immediately.
But the cruel reality told him that it was as easy for Mu Ji to pinch him to death as it was to step on an ant, Wang Cheng was still in the other party's hands, and he couldn't force it.
Reason finally defeated impulse, Zhou Ling exhaled deeply, and then walked straight towards Muji.
On both sides of Mu Ji, there were Xue Yan and Bao La, Xue Yan finally looked at Zhou Ling, but there was a complicated look in her eyes, as if she wanted to express something to Zhou Ling.
But Zhou Ling just glanced at Xue Yan and looked away, he really couldn't understand why Xue Yan offered to let them stay and rest temporarily, and why he detained Senior Brother Wang Cheng again.
"The merman clan can't be trusted!" Zhou Ling's heart popped up with such a thought, he no longer looked directly at Xue Yan, at this moment he just wanted to rescue Senior Brother Wang Cheng as soon as possible.
Xue Yan saw that Zhou Ling ignored him, and finally retracted his gaze that wanted to speak, and at this time he knew how to explain that Zhou Ling would not trust him anymore.
"Little brother Zhou Ling, I don't know if you sleep very well in my water cave?" Mu Ji said when he saw Zhou Ling walking towards him, brushing his white silver beard.
"Thank you to the patriarch for his hospitality, so that Zhou Ling can sleep peacefully this night, but we humans have an old saying, called Ming people don't do dark things, real people don't tell lies, I don't know if the patriarch can understand the true meaning?" Zhou Ling stopped two feet away from Mu Ji and said.
"Haha, this little brother is really courageous, and he is really a little different from other humans I've seen. Mu Ji laughed after listening to Zhou Ling's words.
"Apart from the four of us, Patriarch Muji has seen other humans?" Zhou Ling asked.
"A thousand years ago, you humans forcibly occupied Nanzhou Island, where our mermaid race depended, killing countless of our people, and we could only move our people, and now we can only move to a corner of peace, do you say I have seen other humans?" Mu Ji's deep eyes seemed to see the tragic scene of the massacre of his tribe again, and his voice trembled a little.
"But those human beings are not us, and the human beings of our Tianyan Continent have never invaded other races. ”
Zhou Ling could see from Mu Ji's expression that he hated humans, and Xue Yan had also mentioned to him the invasion and killing of the merman clan.
"What's the difference? You're all human, and you're the same covetous. Mu Ji suddenly became more and more excited, and the white jade cane and pestle in his hand kept lifting and lowering on the ground.
"That Wang Cheng, who claimed to be here to save you, actually wanted to encroach on the pure qi veins of the original domain space, which really makes me dare not imagine. Muji's words were filled with anger at the whispers of humans.
"It seems that Senior Brother Wang Cheng has already told him the true purpose of our coming to the Origin Domain. From Mu Ji's words, Zhou Ling heard the clue.
"Patriarch Muji, we are indeed here for the Qing Qi Qi Vein, several of us are disciples of the Tianyan Continent Martial Arts Academy, because the Qi Vein of the Tianyan Continent is depleted, and the Qing Qi is almost about to disappear, causing everyone to be unable to cultivate, and when the search for the Qi Vein on the continent is fruitless, we are forced to come to the original space to inquire about the news. ”
While Zhou Ling was silently pondering, Mo Qian and Luo Tianyi also walked up, and Mo Qian followed Mu Ji's words and explained to him the purpose of their visit.
"Haha, you humans, have you finally been retributed?
Pure Qi cultivation, I think all of you can only become ordinary people. The thistle on the side smiled gloatingly.
Let's get off the book
"Patriarch, thank you for arranging for us to rest in your place, but what Zhou Ling said just now is not right, out of trust and respect for you, we told you the true purpose of this trip, and we just asked you about the news, but you detained Senior Brother Wang Cheng, which is too embarrassing for the shark clan. Luo Tianyilian stepped forward lightly, and said to Mu even without being humble or arrogant.
"You little girl is presumptuous, how can you talk about the face of the merman clan!"
Unexpectedly, before Mu Ji could respond, Xue Yan, who was standing beside her, suddenly stared at Luo Tianyi's righteous warning, and her eyes permeated with undoubted majesty.
"Why can't you say that your face is earned by yourself, not shaped by other people's words, if you still know your face, let my senior brother go!"
Zhou Ling was shocked and angry when he saw Xue Yan's contrasting performance, he originally had an infinite affection for Xue Yan, and he was also dissatisfied with Xue Yan at this moment, from his stay in the waters of the Shark Clan this time, Xue Yan was as unapproachable as an iceman.
"Hehe, you humans are really affectionate!" Xue Yan sneered, the more Zhou Ling protected Luo Tianyi, the more unhappy she became.
"Enough!"
Mu Ji's voice was like a loud bell scolding suddenly, he stood up and looked at Zhou Ling and the three of them with his eyes like torches, and there was no expression on his vicissitudes of life.
"To put it bluntly, a few of you are just here to ask for someone, right?"
"Yes, but I'm still discussing with you, after all, you are the Lord and our guest, and we need your consent. Zhou Ling said.
"Then you say, thousands of years ago, the human race occupied my territory and killed my people, should this revenge be avenged?" Mu Ji stared at Zhou Ling and said.
"All beings are equal, it is a matter of life and death, how can you not report it? But it should be looking for those human beings who plundered you, not us, if one day the human beings of the Tianyan Continent also invaded your territory, I, Zhou Ling, would be the first to stand up against them. Zhou Ling said sharply.
"Hmph, just a little martial artist, I'm afraid you're just a nameless junior in the Tianyan Continent, and you dare to stand up to the people of your continent. Yin Thistle said jokingly.
"The humility doesn't affect me, I just take it seriously!Don't forget, I also helped you kill Na Ji, right, Young Patriarch Xueyan?" Zhou Ling immediately scolded the thistle, and then turned to look at Xue Yan meaningfully.
"You!"
Xue Yan's face was so angry with Zhou Ling that between the fingers of her clenched fist, a rope of light swayed and wrapped around her wrist like a white earthworm, as if she was about to shoot out to catch Zhou Ling.
Mu Ji stretched out two fingers and flicked his fingers, and an invisible force instantly lifted Zhou Ling into the air, Zhou Ling slammed into the ground before he could catch up, and then a suction force in front of him dragged his body up and towards Mu Ji's feet.
"Do you think that if you save Xueyan, you will be able to make a request for me? I can wipe you out in an instant with my fingers. ”
"Zhou Ling!"
Mo Qian and Luo Tianyi were shocked at the same time, but they were stared at by Yin Ji and Bao La.
After Zhou Ling's body was dragged to Mu Ji's feet, the physical trauma on his body that was rubbed made him feel a pain and itch, he struggled to stand up slightly, looking at Mu Ji, a sneer rose from the corner of his mouth, and the coercion that burst out of his purple-gold eyes made Mu Ji's eyes widen suddenly.
"Do you think that with the strength of your early martial spirit, you can control the reincarnation of the common people?"
