Chapter 44: The Real Murderer Behind the Scenes
After negotiating the conditions, Mu Lin remembered that she only paid attention to the ring and information, but forgot that she didn't have so much spirit jade on her body.
Touching the storage ring awkwardly, Mu Lin didn't know what to do. finally got a clue, if she just turned around and left, she was really unwilling.
Duan Yun saw Mu Lin's predicament, stepped forward, handed her the storage ring he got from Long Yi, and said, "Mother, in order to prevent the spirit jade from being snatched by the little ones, didn't you put the storage ring on me, why did you forget?"
Mu Lin hurriedly took it, took 50,000 pieces of spirit jade from it, and handed it to the young man, in order not to make people suspicious, she also pretended to shake her head and said: "Alas, when I get older, this memory has become so bad......
The young man was also quite trustworthy, and after receiving the spirit jade, he told the location of Mu Lin's ruins in detail, and at the same time handed over the Ziyan ring to her.
Holding the ring, Mu Lin's hands trembled slightly. It all seemed to be going too well, and she couldn't be calm when she got such an important clue just here.
Although Duan Yun's "mother" was very unhappy, he was also happy for Mu Lin. After all, with a direction and goal, the original intention of Mu Lin's trip to the secret realm is not far from being realized.
Leaving the entrance, the three of them happily walked in the direction the young man had pointed. However, they didn't notice that in a tent not far from the stall, an old man in black with a gloomy expression was staring at their backs with eagle-like eyes, with a hint of bloodthirsty indifference hanging from the corners of his mouth.
And beside this old man, standing proudly stood the young man who had just sold them the ring!
"Father, you have a great idea. Those three people are still complacent, but they don't know that everything is under our control, it seems that I have not waited in vain for so many days, hehe!" the young man humbly bowed to the old man and laughed.
"Hmph, it's really the remnants of the Mu family. No matter how subtle the disguise is, there is still the blood of the Mu family in my bones, and I just used a little trick to hook them, which is really a bit boring. If what I expected, the middle-aged woman should be dressed as the princess who escaped from the Mu family. The old man snorted coldly, with some sneer on his face.
"Is that relic really left by the Martial King of the Mu family?" the young man then asked.
"Do you think that I put so much effort into making a bet even with the blood of the entire Mu family to make a bet for people to see? I found this ring as early as the last time the secret realm was opened, and at that time, I couldn't enter the ruins, and naturally I couldn't get the inheritance of the Martial King. This ring is the key, but only those with the blood of the Mu family can open it, so I agreed to Yin Fei's request and helped him destroy the Mu family, leaving only the princess who was not a weapon. The purpose is to give her the motivation to take revenge and help us open this ruin, otherwise she will be able to escape from the palace?
"My father is really scheming, and it's hard for me to shoot the horse. After you get the inheritance of the Martial King, can you give the little princess to the child, I have seen the princess before, but she is a rare beauty. The young man recalled the noble beauty embryo he had seen in the crowd, and his heart felt as if he had been scratched by a claw.
The old man glanced at this idle son with disdain, and said slowly: "That princess is indeed the best among women, if I hadn't snatched her back for the sake of the big plan, how could she be so leisurely jumping outside now?
The two looked at each other and smiled, and the sound of night owls filled the tent.
......
Duan Yun and the others naturally didn't know that there was such a big crisis hidden behind this seemingly smooth operation, and soon they arrived at the ruins that the young man said, and the compass that Mu Lin was carrying was also completely lit up. However, the location does not exactly overlap with the ruins.
How could this be?Mu Lin muttered to herself.
"Could this ruin be a suspicious mound deliberately arranged by your ancestor?" Duan Yun was also a little surprised.
"It's possible, no matter how much it is, let's find a way to get in first. Mu Lin made up her mind.
The ruins don't look large from the outside, and are supposed to be set all underground, with only a dark green disc exposed.
The runes on the disc flowed, and Duan Yun tried to bombard them with brute force a few times, but except for the slight fluctuation of the runes, not even a single stone chip fell.
Seeing that brute force was useless, Duan Yun sat on the ground helplessly.
"If brute force can break it, then this ruin hasn't been entered early?" Mu Lin angrily snatched Duan Yun's words, leaning down and carefully examining the disc.
Eventually, she discovered a hole in the bottom of the disc that was shaped like a keyhole.
"It's here!" Mu Lin shouted excitedly. Duan Yun and Xiaolong also surrounded him when they heard this.
After getting along for so long, Mu Lin was extremely relieved about Duan Yun, so she didn't shy away from anything. I saw her take out a knife and slash it on her fingertips, dripping blood on the Ziyan ring.
With the infusion of blood, the purple flame on the ring moved, and soon the ring melted into a delicate key. Mu Lin inserted the key into the hole, and the runes on the disc instantly stopped flowing.
"Crunch", an arched door appeared from the disc, and just as the three of them were about to enter, suddenly there was a burst of applause from behind.
"It's a pity!" A warrior stood beside him, and this warrior they had all seen was the young man who sold the ring.
"What do you want to do?" Mu Lin shouted in a thick voice.
"Her Royal Highness the Princess of the Ziyan Empire, there is no need to make yourself look like this, how fascinating your true face is......" The old man in black showed a playful look on his face.
Hearing this, Mu Lin's heart sank, she didn't expect that after she dressed up, she would still be recognized, and she could also hear that the person who came was not good.
"Who are you?" Mu Lin scolded angrily.
"You are really forgetful, you don't even recognize the enemy who killed your father in front of you, but it's no wonder, you only know that Yin Fei killed your parents, but you don't know that the mastermind behind the scenes is actually me Jiang Tian...... Later, when I saw the killer of my father crush myself underneath me, it should feel quite amazing, I will see him." The old man in black smiled proudly when he saw that everything was under control.
"Shameless!" "Despicable!"
Three voices rang out from the bottom of the hearts of the three.
But seeing that the other party came prepared, Duan Yun and the others did not dare to slack off, especially if they could uproot an empire, this old man in black was by no means an idle person.
The three of them glanced at each other and ran towards the depths of the ruins.
"Where do you want to escape in front of a third-level great martial artist...... the old man in black said, his body shook and chased after him.
The distance between the two sides was getting closer and closer, and a dark cloud hung over the heads of Duan Yun and the others. Fortunately, there is a realm suppression in the secret realm, otherwise the three of them would not even have the slightest chance to escape.
It's not an option...... Seeing that the situation was getting more and more critical, Duan Yun also became anxious. He surveyed his surroundings as he ran, and to his surprise, just to his left side, he found a secret room.
Fight, although he can't get out by himself when he enters inside, at least if the three of them join forces, it will not be so easy for the old man in black to want to come in for a while. For today's plan, we can only take one step at a time.
Thinking so, Duan Yun pulled Duan Long and Mu Lin to dodge and hid in the secret room. The moment they stepped into the secret room, it seemed that someone had accidentally stepped on the mechanism, and the stone door of the secret room fell suddenly, blocking the old man in black from the door.
