Chapter 432: Ochre Ambition (Part II)
Mu Shi never imagined that the founder of Ochre Academy would be a legendary figure who had a relationship with him but had long since died. Although everyone knew that the founder of the Ochre Academy was not an ordinary person, Mu Shi had a subtle feeling when he thought of the remnant soul of Hai Hanxi in the ice field ruins and what he said, "goodbye by fate".
Is it a coincidence?
Mu Shi didn't know, but he felt that the progress and exploration in the past few years were like being deliberately guided. This feeling was not felt before, but it became clearer and clearer as the strength improved.
Especially last night, Mu Shi dreamed of the process of his death in his previous life, which felt even more subtle.
Mu Shi was thinking wildly, and suddenly found that everyone's eyes fell on him, and he looked up in a daze, only to see the seven people looking at him with curious or strange expressions.
Involuntarily touched his face, Mu Shi said strangely, "Is there anything on my face?" Why do you keep looking at me? ”
"Your reaction is so big, Mu Shi~!" Su Junlai stared at Mu Shi with a pair of shining eyes, and was the first to answer Mu Shi's question.
"Huh.......?" Mu Shi was silent for a moment, "Is there one?" ”
"Yes!" Su Junlai nodded, and looked at the people around him again, "They also feel it!" Your surprise was so loud. ”
"What? It seems that you know the Ice Emperor Hai Hanxi very well? Jun Lao regained his smiling appearance, touched his beard and looked at Mu Shi kindly with a pair of kind eyes, but for no reason Mu Shi rose a pressure.
Mu Shi hesitated for a moment and nodded, "I think Brother Gu also knows about this matter, a few years ago, the ice plain ruins appeared, and it was the castle of Haihanxi. ”
Gu Nan was stunned when he heard this, then showed a sudden realization in his eyes, turned around and nodded at Qu Chuan and the others, "Yes, it was about two or three years ago, and it was indeed the remains of the Ice Emperor, but unfortunately there were demons secretly making trouble, and they didn't gain much." ”
"Of course we know that." Elder Jun smiled mysteriously, and slammed at Han Nunu, who was standing with a gun in his hand, "At that time, we also discovered the movement of the demon clan, and it was your Han Elder who sent it. ”
"Yes, at that time, thanks to Elder Han's help." Gu Nan leaned over slightly, "Otherwise, my team will be wiped out." ”
Han Xi wiped the gun with an expressionless face, and said lightly, "It is my obligation to destroy the demon clan. ”
"Oh~ It's the thing that caused a sensation in the five countries, I heard that there are very few people who come out in the end, and there are heavy losses?" Si Li said thoughtfully.
Mu Shi, who successfully diverted her attention, touched her nose weakly, the biggest benefit was taken by her, and she stayed in the space created by the Ice Emperor for a long time before she came out, and she didn't know what the others were.
"Someone has awakened the powerful demon remnant soul in the ruins, even if I have the heart to stop it, the loss has already appeared." The killing intent flashed in Han Xi's eyes, and he explained coldly.
"Why are there remnant souls of demons in the Ice Emperor Ruins?" Li Yuansheng frowned slightly, a little puzzled.
"That's what we're looking into." Han Xi stroked the sharp spear head, his eyebrows frowning slightly, obviously confused.
"Finally~ the demon clan who entered the Ice Emperor's ruins is the clone of the current Demon Emperor who used a secret method to divide the divine soul condensed." Qu Chuan diverted the topic, still with a gentle smile on his face, but his eyes were very serious, "His understanding of there is beyond everyone, and we don't know what he has gained." ”
Li Yuansheng and the four of them all gasped involuntarily, especially Gu Nansui even felt a chill behind him, he didn't expect that he was so close to the Demon Emperor, and suddenly had a feeling of immortality.
"But soon after, the demon clan produced another emperor." Jun Lao took over the conversation, and his expression became serious, "According to the analysis of the information we have at hand, it is very likely that the reason why he was able to break the restrictions of the demon race is that he obtained something from the Ice Emperor Ruins. ”
Mu Shi kept silent and listened to their conversation, gradually introducing what happened a few years ago. It seems that the Ochre Academy has long been aware of the Demon Emperor's movements, and has sent the Han Sect Elder who is the best at fighting in the Ice Field, and the Han Sect Elder is Gu Nan's guide to the Ochre Academy, and also prevented the Demon Clan from slaughtering all the people who went to the Ice Plain this time.
But the Ochre Academy didn't know what was in the Ice Emperor's ruins and what the Demon Emperor had gotten.
Mu Shi fell into thought, thinking about whether he should tell Qu Chuan and the others what he knew, but the most important thing that Mu Shi can deal with the Demon Emperor is that he has Beiye behind him to remind and support, not to mention this, Mu Shi alone seems to be a little too nonsense.
Wait a minute? Mu Shi suddenly remembered that Qu Chuan and they already knew about the existence of Beiye, so there was no need to conceal it, they must know more than they said, and these old guys who became spirits were also concealing it!
Mu Shi hooked his lips and chuckled, "Maybe I know what the Demon Emperor has gained in the Ice Emperor Ruins." I even know why there are demon remnants in the Ice Emperor Ruins. ”
"What?! Wow! How would you know when you are in the past! Su Junlai shouted exaggeratedly, jumped to Mu Shi's side and looked left and right, "Could it be that you also went?" ”
Mu Shi nodded and looked at Gu Nansui, "At that time, I happened to be traveling in the Beifeng Empire, so when I heard this news, I naturally wanted to join in the fun." I happened to meet Brother Gu, who took good care of me and invited me to go with me. Is that so? Brother Gu? ——" After speaking, Mu Shi tilted his head.
Gu Nansui was a little unnatural, nodded, and his cold voice was a little awkward trill, "At that time, after you and I separated, it was the thing I regretted the most. I thought you had been killed in the ruins......"
"So that's what you told me, why you want to get stronger?" Si Li showed a look of understanding, and bent his eyes, "You are guilty that you didn't protect Mu Shi." ”
Gu Nan nodded silently, at that time he was dragged out by his seniors, and waited in front of the ruins for a month without giving up, and finally left in frustration under the urging of his accompanying seniors.
That was the first time he felt powerless, and the first time he longed for stronger strength due to his indifferent and cold nature, so he remembered what Han Xi had said to him, and left home alone to go to the Death Mountains, and found the Ochre Academy after hardships. It wasn't until Si Li brought the news that Mu Shi was still alive that he let go of his knot.
Mu Shi was a little surprised, he didn't expect Gu Nansui who was cold on the outside to be so soft and warm in his heart, and walked up to Gu Nansui with a shallow smile, "Don't thank you, Brother Gu, little sister will repay you in the future!" ”
Gu Nan hurriedly shook his head, "I didn't protect you well, you don't need to thank me." After saying that, he looked confused as if he remembered something, "What happened to you?" ”
"I don't have to think about it, she must have met the incarnation of the Demon Emperor~" Jun Lao teased, "You young people, now is not the time to talk about love, these things are waiting for you to talk about it in private~"
Gu Nansui was a little embarrassed by what he said, and he didn't dare to keep a straight face because of Elder Jun's identity, and said softly, "Elder Jun, please pay attention to the wording. ”
"Okay, okay, I know you're thin-skinned!" Jun Lao waved his hand and looked at Mu Shi, "Okay, little guy, tell me what you know~"
So all eyes were focused on Mu Shi again.
Mu Shi's expression was calm, and he straightened out his thoughts and spoke, "Yes, I just met the incarnation of the Demon Emperor." Brother Gu, do you remember that among the first people to enter the ruins, there was a dark mage? ”
Gu Nansui frowned, recalled that there seemed to be such a person, nodded and groaned, "I remember that he ended up with you......." Speaking of this, Gu Nansui's face changed, "That's the Demon Emperor?" ”
Mu Shi nodded, "He used me to pass through the barrier set up by the Ice Emperor and enter a crystal attic. ”
"Crystal Loft?" Qu Chuan thought for a while, and when he saw Mu Shi, he stopped and raised his hand, "You continue." ”
"That crystal is very strange, it seems to have some effect of blocking all energy, and it seems to be a vacuum inside." Mu Shi searched for memories from these years ago, and continued to state with a deep groan.
Jun Lao frowned and waved his hand to interrupt Mu Shi's statement, "You are carefully describing that crystal. ”
"No color, very pure clear crystal, very clean. Entering it, I felt no energy, not even air. Mu Shi thought about it and replied.
"This crystal is like a top-grade spirit stone that has been extinct." Jun Lao looked at Qu Chuan and guessed. Qu Chuan nodded, his eyes full of light, "I know what Elder Jun means, it must be the ethereal crystal that can't be found anymore." ”
"This crystal is usually used to imprison extremely vicious and powerful demons, why does it appear in the depths of the Ice Emperor's ruins?" Jun Lao muttered to himself, looking at Mu Shi and urging, "Quick, go on, what's closed inside?" ”
"Nothing, just a drop of blood." Mu Shi said lightly.
"A drop of blood?" Jun Lao was stunned for a moment, a little stunned, "Is it just a drop of blood?" ”
Mu Shi nodded, she still chose to hide some things. Hai Hanxi must not want his wife and children to be criticized, and he generously donated his bone marrow, and it is good to be able to do something small for him.
"A drop of blood......" Dean Qu Chuan furrowed his eyebrows, lowered his eyes and groaned, "I remember that in the Ice Emperor archives of the Ochre Academy, it was indeed recorded that he obtained something that could break through to sanctification, but he didn't use it until he died with the Demon Emperor. Could it be that blood? ”
At this time, the four of Si Li felt like they were listening to the Arabian Nights, and they didn't dare to interject a word, and their eyes were very complicated when they looked at Mu Shi.
"Yes, that drop of blood, maybe it can really be done." Mu Shi didn't want them to be anxious, so he simply said, "Because of that drop of blood, the remnants of Hai Hanxi's predecessors were all shocked. I can be saved, and I can also be saved by the Ice Emperor Hai Hanxi. ”
"I see." Dean Qu Chuan didn't stretch out, in fact, he was also very curious why Mu Shi was able to escape from the Demon Emperor incarnation, if there was the remnant soul of the Ice Emperor in the ruins, then everything made sense.
