Chapter 49: The second stage of the mission begins
"Ling Yu!?"
Ah Li raised his eyebrows sharply and asked eagerly, "Is that Ling Yu who reached the Great Perfection of the Breakthrough Realm at the age of 16?" she is really bold enough, she even dares to steal that thing. ”
Hall Master Zhao nodded and said, "It's that little girl." Although she reached the Great Perfection of the Breakthrough Realm at the age of 16, she did not make progress for two years, so she wanted to find another way. Making a big deal by stealing the undercover list in exchange for the opportunity to enter the Ten Thousand Demon Blood Pool, this is her plan. ”
As a member of the Black Demon Sect, Ali certainly knew what the Ten Thousand Demon Blood Pool was. Not only the demon clan, but even them are evil people. As long as you enter the Ten Thousand Demon Blood Pool, you will be able to wash your muscles and veins and refine your cultivation.
A gleam flashed in Ali's eyes, and he immediately asked, "What does Hall Master Zhao mean that as long as we can get that list, we will have the same chance to enter the Ten Thousand Demon Blood Pool?"
Hall Master Zhao patted Ali's shoulder and said with relief: "That's right. Now you know what to do. ”
Ali nodded and said, "I don't know what that list looks like, and I ask the hall master to teach me." ”
Hall Master Zhao turned around, took out a thin piece of paper, and handed it to Ali.
Ali looked intently, only to see a palm-sized jet-black iron fragment painted on it, and there was a strange inscription on the fragment, which was obviously branded with an extremely powerful prohibition.
Ali stared for a moment, then rubbed his hands together and reduced the paper to a cloud of powder. With a gentle blow, it dissipates into nothingness, as if it had never appeared.
"Don't worry, Hall Master Zhao, the kid will go to inquire about the news. ”
Ali said and walked out quickly.
Hall Master Zhao nodded with satisfaction. Ali's strength, he is very clear. Although the combat power is not high, it is extremely good at searching for information, probing for intelligence, and has the ability to remember it. It is really fitting to send him to find out the whereabouts of the list.
Now, it is already the third pole of the sun, and Huo Xiu was recruited into Mu Lao's thatched cottage for questioning.
As soon as he entered the door, Huo Xiu felt that the atmosphere was very solemn. Mu Lao was still sitting with the old god there, but Lynch was red-eyed and seemed extremely angry.
Before Huo Xiu could ask questions, Mu Lao Xian said slowly, "Huo Xiu, how is the refining of the mysterious medicinal liquid?"
Huo Xiu arched his hand and said, "The kid is stupid, that medicinal liquid is really powerful, I only refined about one percent." ”
In fact, Huo Xiu had already exhausted the refining of the medicinal liquid, but it was too terrifying to say it at this time, so he decided to be careful.
Mu Lao stroked his beard and said with a smile: "Yes, according to this progress, the refining can be completed before the start of the demon slaying conference, and your strength will also be improved at that time." ”
Huo Xiu saluted again and said, "This matter is thanks to the assistance of Lord Commander and Senior Brother Lynch, and the kid has thanked the two of you here." But I don't know anything, can you tell me something?"
Mu Lao nodded and said, "Say, what's the matter?"
Huo Xiu immediately asked, "I heard from my brothers this morning that there was a so-called Black Sect man who died in our Hundred Herbs Garden last night, what the hell is going on?"
Lynch snorted coldly and said, "It's not because that good brother of yours got into a fight with a kid named Kang Xiaoba." That Kang Xiaoba was chased by the guards guarding the city, and died here for no reason. In the middle of the night, you have to let Mu Zhangyuan wipe your brother's ass. ”
Huo Xiu frowned, and said unhappily: "I have nothing to do with that guy at all, so don't mention it." And I heard that Huo Dong was beaten half to death, and that guy was jumping around alive. No matter how you look at it, it doesn't seem like Huo Dong can do it. ”
Lynch's face turned dark and he wanted to have a seizure, but he was stopped by Mu Laoyi lifting his cane.
Mu Lao gently patted the crutches in his hand and said slowly: "I arrived at the scene last night and talked to the Lord of the Confucian Mansion, Zhang Zhangyuan, and Captain Huang who guarded the city. We concluded that Kang Xiaoba was killed by a mysterious clutch realm martial artist who smashed the throat nucleus, and as for who caused the poison, it should not be someone from within our martial arts. It was probably a certain passing warrior who saw Kang Xiaoba throwing money in the Bliss Building, so he followed all the way and took the opportunity to make money and kill him. ”
Huo Xiu was thoughtful and did not respond in time.
At this moment, Mu Lao coughed, and then said: "Huo Xiu, the Cangshan Prefecture Demon Eradication Conference will start in half a month, what are your plans?"
Huo Xiu didn't think about it, and said directly: "Of course, it is to win three games in a row and win the attention of the Nanshan Sect." ”
Mu Lao shook his head and said, "This matter is not proper, you should understand the truth that Mu Xiu is in the forest and the wind will destroy it." You are neither a descendant of the top family in the Southern Regions, nor a descendant of the powerhouse of the Three Days Realm, if you expose your edge too early, you will only be targeted by people with intentions. After all, the Nanshan Sect only has 100 entry places every year, and there will always be people who secretly do it. And the so-called attention is also very illusory, and it is not very useful. ”
Huo Xiu pursed his lips and nodded. Then he raised his head and asked, "May I ask the Muzhang Courtyard, can you give me some pointers." ”
Mu Lao laughed and said, "The son can be taught." In the Demon Eradication Conference, you will try your best to win the first two games, and in the third game, you can just bluff. Then find your chance and jump straight out of the ring. In this way, it will not be embarrassing to lose, and it will not hurt yourself. After this was done, I was rewarded. ”
As soon as the words fell, in Huo Xiu's mind, the long-lost prompt sound of the super mission system sounded again.
"Host, please note, now start the second stage of the Great Perfection Task of Harnessing the Qi Realm within half a year, and win two consecutive victories in the Cangshan Prefecture Demon Eradication Conference. Remember not to seek a third victory, or you will fail the mission. ”
Mu Lao saw that Huo Xiu had already understood what he meant, so he issued an order to expel the guest.
Huo Xiu also wished to leave early, so he bowed and hurried back to his residence.
For the strange task requirements, Huo Xiu didn't care. He is confident that winning will not be a problem, and he doesn't pay much attention to the illusory and ethereal focus.
Now, Huo Xiu was very concerned about Mu Lao's explanation of what happened last night. According to Mu Lao, it was not the personnel of Zhenyuan Wufu who killed Kang Xiaoba. This is too treacherous, Huo Xiu does not agree.
On the contrary, Huo Xiu believed that the mysterious killer must have been committed by someone from within the Martial Mansion, or even from the Hundred Herb Garden. After all, he witnessed the whole process of Kang Xiaoba's death, but he was not hunted down and killed, so this person must have a reason not to kill himself.
Vaguely, Huo Xiu seemed to think of the answer, but the content was too terrifying, and he didn't dare to confirm it, so he could only find a chance to verify his thoughts later.
