Chapter 120: End, Departure for Zhongzhou!
……
The light of the Holy Ladder faded.
In a roar, a vortex was born in the void space, sucking in all those abilities who were outside the score ranking of five thousand.
Xu Mu stood on the ground, silently watching all this, and found that Jiang Sheng, Qi Lan, Qian Qian and the others had all passed in the end, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
"Congratulations, you've all passed." Wanyan Zhenyao said, stepped from the void, and landed beside Xu Mu.
"So are you." Xu Mu nodded, and then beckoned to Qian Qian who was not far away, "This way." ”
Qian Qian looked around, and after finding Xu Mu, he also walked over with Jiang Sheng and Qi Lan.
Everyone gathered together and didn't say a word, they all stared at Xu Mu with blazing eyes, and it wasn't until Xu Mu coughed twice in embarrassment that Jiang Sheng took the lead in breaking the silence.
"Brother, you're awesome!"
Jiang Sheng hugged Xu Mu's arm excitedly, his expression ecstatic, as if the person who had ascended the holy ladder at the last moment just now was not Xu Mu, but him.
Xu Mu scratched his head with a smile and said, "It's average." ”
"You're too modest." Wanyan Zhenyao sighed with emotion, "I'm afraid that at this moment, the pot has already exploded outside, and countless forces will target you because of this." ”
"Even your reputation is likely to spread to the Wanzu Alliance because of this, and you will become the target of those who have obtained the qualification in advance, you must be mentally prepared."
When Xu Mu heard this, he smacked his lips with a strange expression and asked, "Isn't it just a ladder, as for such a big battle?" ”
When Yan Zhenyao heard this, he was speechless.
Qian Qian was helpless and explained: "This is the Holy Ladder, although it is forged, it can still stump most of the cultivation geniuses, and even before today, the best result in our competition area was only the eighty-fourth order record set by the previous generation genius of the Wang family. ”
"And it took him three hours, but you only took fifteen seconds."
"But I didn't think it was too difficult...... Xu Mu thought to himself, but he didn't say it, just smiled a little innocently.
The pressure on him from the Holy Ladder was far less than the pressure from the Eight Directions Heavenly Wall in the dark palace of the West Mountain before.
Xu Mu lowered his head and looked at his fist, smiling strongly, because he could feel that after fighting Ye Gong, his physical strength had improved again, and his comprehension of the Great Dao of Death had progressed a little faster.
Now he can integrate those death intentions into his blood and blast out, and his combat power can be said to have a new improvement, if he encounters Ye Gong's sword again, maybe he can fight with it without a knife!
"Congratulations to those who remain, you will represent the 16th Division in the final battle against all races."
"This is the qualification token to participate in the Ten Thousand Races Alliance, please accept it and keep it carefully."
The phantom of the ancestor of the Wang family said, and with a wave of his big hand, five thousand light clusters with a shimmering light fell from the space, and each fell into the hands of everyone in the field.
Xu Mu stretched out his hand to grab the light cluster, and then after seeing the familiar things inside, a smile appeared on his face.
I still remember that in his space ring, there was also a qualification token, which was snatched from Ye Que's hand, and I don't know what happened to him now.
"Great!"
Jiang Sheng got the qualification token and shouted excitedly on the spot, because he didn't expect that with his strength, he would really be able to pass the three rounds of qualifiers.
And even if he passed, before he got this qualification token, he felt that all this was like a dream, and only now did the dream become a reality.
After the others got the qualifications, they also showed varying degrees of joy, and only a few people looked as usual, without the slightest joy or anger, such as Ye Gong.
And all these reactions were silently taken in by the ancestor of the Wang family, and what he paid the most attention to was Xu Mu.
Xu Mu also noticed the old man's gaze, so he raised his head and smiled slightly.
The ancestor of the Wang family was stunned, and then he also shook his head and smiled, he said: "The Pure Void Secret Realm will be closed soon, you guys should come out first." ”
The crowd replied in unison, "Yes!" ”
Then, everyone walked into the spatial crack on their own, the picture in front of them flickered, and when they opened their eyes again, they had already appeared in the great green mountains of the Peach Blossom Domain.
And before Xu Mu could react, around him was a large circle of people in an instant, all of them with strong aura, eyeing each other.
Xu Mu said with some hesitation: "Senior Gongsun, you are ...... of these."
"Don't talk, hurry up and get on the Jiang family's magic weapon airship." Gongsun Jingming said with a solemn face, stretching out the realm and enveloping Xu Mu.
"A lot of people are eyeing you, and we're here to keep you safe."
"Okay." Xu Mu didn't say much, and after finding that Qi Qi was already waiting for him on the airship, he walked directly over there.
And in the process, the geniuses of other families were also teleported out one after another, but when they came out and wanted to celebrate or complain, they found that no one cared about them at all.
Everyone's eyes were on Xu Mu, who was firmly protected by the crowd, especially the people from the four major families.
They stared intently, their breathing shortness of breath, their old faces full of shock, and the slightly lower ones were stunned regardless of their image.
Jiang Liyun of the Jiang family, looking at Xu Mu, felt that his heart was about to jump out of his chest. Jiang Li was the first to come back to his senses, he looked at everyone's reactions, swallowed his saliva silently, and then said proudly: "I'll just say it, Mu Xu Xiaoyou will definitely do it." ”
After saying this, he muttered to himself again: "It's just that he walked eighty-four steps in fifteen seconds, isn't this a little scary?" ”
"It's scary, it's unheard of!" Someone sighed beside Jiang Li, that person was an elder, and he didn't know when he actually came to the location where the side line was.
When Jiang Li saw the man, he found that it was Jiang Fu, and hurriedly bowed and saluted, but was stopped by the elder waving his hand: "No need." ”
"You have made a great contribution to our Jiang family this time, if you need anything in the future, just open your mouth to the old man."
Jiang Yan's expression was complicated, staring at Xu Mu through the crowd, when he first saw him, he even suspected that Xu Mu was just a means for the children to find and fool him.
Even later, he defeated Jiang Zhao with a wave of his hand, he didn't take Xu Mu very seriously, he didn't expect that this time, he would make such a shocking feat.
In the last fifteen seconds, Xu Mu climbed eighty-four steps, if it weren't for the alternative appearance of Ye Gong, who raised the original record of eighty-three steps to ninety, then today's Xu Mu, it only takes fifteen seconds today to be able to break the record of the Holy Ladder.
What is this concept? Compare it with Jiang Zheye, who was also on the eighty-fourth step, and the latter walked desperately for two and a half hours in order to get here, and finally stopped, and the time it took was not known to be several times that of Xu Mu.
Even if it was Ye Gong, the time it took was almost the same, but Xu Mu only took fifteen seconds, and it seemed to be very easy.
This can't help but make people wonder if he had been given another fifteen seconds, or even longer, would Xu Mu have climbed to the top of the Holy Ladder like that person back then?
"Mu Xu Xiaoyou is right, it was your Ye family who won." The ancestor of the Jiang family held back the excitement in his heart, smiled slightly, and pretended to be calm and said to Ye Geng, his words were full of ridicule.
Before, everyone ridiculed Xu Mu and compared Ye Gong with him, saying that he was too injured to climb the Holy Ladder, but what is the result now, Xu Mu climbed the eighty-fourth step in fifteen seconds!
Although Ye Gong had reached the ninetieth order, no one would think that he had won!
Therefore, the ancestor of the Jiang family said this in order to disgust the Ye family.
"Perhaps, he has already overdrawn his body and forced himself to rush up." Ye Geng snorted coldly and said, but even he didn't believe in this reason.
The ancestor of the Jiang family laughed loudly, and then didn't say anything, and directly welcomed Xu Mu back in person, and at the same time did not forget the other Jiang family members.
"You are all geniuses of my Jiang family, I want to reward you well when I go back this time."
"Thank you, Ancestor."
Qian Qian, Jiang Sheng, as well as Jiang Taixu and Jiang Zhiye, bowed half-kneeling at the same time, Xu Mu reacted half a beat slowly, and then arched his hand.
The ancestor of the Jiang family didn't care about this, and directly welcomed them into the airship room, and at the same time used the formation to isolate all prying eyes from the outside world.
There was no Xu Mu in the field, and everyone naturally came back to their senses and began to think of other important things.
The first is the Qi family.
"Qi Lan, you collaborated with the enemy privately, and Qi almost fell, have you thought about what punishment to suffer!" Looking at Qi Lan, who was half-kneeling on the ground, the contemporary head of the Qi family, asked sharply.
Qi Lan bowed his hand and replied calmly: "I endured the humiliation, did not hesitate to form an alliance with the enemy, and finally qualified for the Ten Thousand Clans Alliance, everything is for the sake of the family, I don't know what I did wrong." ”
"As for Brother Qi Ye, he ended up in today's situation, and he can only blame his skills for being inferior to others."
"You!" The head of the Qi family was furious, and he was about to scold when he pointed at Qi Lan, but was stopped by two old coughs.
"So be it." The ancestor of the Qi family said.
"Father, but he ......"
"That's all!" The ancestor of the Qi family said in a deep voice, "Qi Lan is right, your unsuccessful son took the initiative to apply to participate in the qualifiers, the Jiang family's people didn't succeed, but they lost it, this can only be called self-inflicted, and it has nothing to do with Qi Lan!" ”
"Pass my order, the whole clan, no one is allowed to target Qi Lan, although his talent is not very high, but it can be regarded as saving some face for my Qi family in the budget competition!"
When the head of the Qi family heard this, he half-knelt on the ground and replied with a pale face: "Obey the order of the ancestor." ”
"Thank you, Ancestor." Qi Lan also knelt down to thank him, and at the same time he smiled and looked in the direction of the Jiang family's airship, he knew that Xu Mu must be looking at him in the dark at this time.
"Thank you." Qi Lan said in the air, and he sincerely thanked him, because if it weren't for Xu Mu, he might not have the opportunity to replace Qi Ye in his life.
And now, the first step has been achieved, and the next most important thing is to improve the strength, although the hope is still slim, but there are still some possibilities, and all this credit is due to Xu Mu.
In the airship, Xu Mu saw Qi Lan's mouth shape, smiled slightly, and responded, "No thanks." ”
"Who are you talking to?" Gongsun Jingming came over at this time and looked at Xu Mu in surprise.
"No one." Xu Mu put away his smile, turned his head to look at the old man, and asked, "Is there anything wrong with the senior?" ”
Gongsun Jingming nodded and sighed: "Of course there is something, but before that, I will introduce you to someone first." ”
"This is my junior brother, Gongsun Lianjue, the great elder of my Medicine King Valley Medicine Hall."
"Hello senior." Xu Mu looked at the thin man and arched his hand.
"No need to be polite." The thin man stared at Xu Mu, his eyes full of surprise. He also saw the latter's performance, but he still had some doubts about what Gongsun Jingming said before, Xu Mu's talent in refining medicine.
Gongsun Jingming solemnly spoke: "Mu Xu, we want to invite you to join the Medicine King Valley, and after my junior brother, please serve as the next Medicine Hall Great Elder, I don't know what you think?" ”
"The next Medicine Hall Grand Elder?" When Xu Mu heard this, he smacked his lips in some astonishment.
"Senior, won't you be too hasty, I'm still a child!"
"Yes, Senior Brother, the position of the Great Elder of the Medicine Hall is to be selected through competition in the whole valley, how can you promise it without permission!" The thin man also said hurriedly.
"You shut up for me and let him become an elder of the Medicine Hall, that's your kid's honor!" Gongsun Jingming said in an unkind tone, and then looked at Xu Mu with a smile, "It's not hasty, this decision was actually made after thinking about it for a long time." ”
"You see, with your level of alchemy, it is naturally impossible to be an ordinary disciple in my Medicine King Valley, and except for those ancestors who will die, there must be no one who can be your master, so it is just right for you to be the elder of the Medicine Hall, in charge of the elixir branch, and teach all your alchemy techniques."
"And don't be in a hurry to refuse, think about it, you have not only offended the Ye family now, but also offended the scattered cultivators, the Lord of the Heavenly Domain, and now the Jiang family can shelter you for a while, but when the Ten Thousand Clans Alliance is over, they won't care about you anymore."
"And don't say that they don't care, even if they don't care, the Jiang family is up and down, and it is difficult to stop a Fengtian, but my Medicine King Valley can, we are absolutely able to ensure your safety." Gongsun Jingming said seriously.
"This ......" Xu Mu didn't know what to say when he heard this, so he could only scratch his head in embarrassment.
Now, he can be said to be lacking in skills, he is in the Jiang family, and he will go to the Nangong family and Baiyun Dao Temple in the future, if there are more Medicine King Valleys, then things will become too complicated.
"I can serve as the guest secretary of the Medicine King Valley, but the position of this elder, forget it."
Xu Mu gave up his hand and politely rejected Gongsun Jingming's proposal.
Gongsun Jingming was serious: "I really don't want to think about it anymore?" This is a rare opportunity. ”
"I understand the kindness of my predecessors." Xu Mu gave his hand again, and then said, "If there is a chance in the future, when I officially concentrate on the study of alchemy, I may go to the Medicine King Valley and officially worship the mountain!" ”
"Well, it's a pity." Gongsun Jingming nodded, and then continued, "The gate of my Medicine King Valley is open for you at any time. ”
"It's just that you haven't joined the Medicine King Valley, I'm afraid we won't be able to provide you with backup, and you need to deal with that sealed sky."
When Xu Mu heard this, he nodded solemnly: "Please rest assured, senior, I know it in my heart." ”
"In that case, I will stay soon, junior brother, let's go." Gongsun Jingming sighed and said, and slowly left here with the thin man.
The latter glanced at Xu Mu and then at Gongsun Jingming, looking puzzled.
"Division...... Senior brother, didn't you say that he was a genius comparable to Ji Chang, and we just left? ”
When Gongsun Jingming heard this, he turned his head and said helplessly: "He doesn't want to, what can I do?" ”
"And now, he is at the peak of the limelight, there is no shortage of forces, and the Jiang family will try their best to protect it, so there is no shortage of our manpower."
"What we have to do now is to keep an eye on his movements and stand up when he is in trouble, and then he will willingly join the Medicine King Valley!"
Hearing this, the thin man nodded thoughtfully, and then the two left together.
As soon as they left, Xiao Qiqi sneaked in, and then quickly jumped into Xu Mu's arms.
"Long time no see." Xu Mu rubbed the latter's fleshy cheeks and said with a smile.
"It's just my sleep." Qi Qi yawned, not feeling how long he had been separated from Xu Mu.
"Mu Xu Xiaoyou, is there anything else you haven't done, if not, let's go." Outside the door, a male voice sounded, and then Jiang Liyun and Jiang Li walked in together.
"Uncle Li, I don't have anything to do, you should go." Xu Mu said with a smile.
Hearing this, Jiang Li nodded, and then looked at Jiang Liyun.
"When we say departure, we don't mean returning to the city from this green mountain, but going to the place where the real Ten Thousand Races Alliance will compete, called Zhongzhou." Jiang Liyun was silent for a moment and spoke.
"All Races Alliance, is it so fast?" Xu Mu was stunned and asked, how did he remember that there was still a whole month before the start of the Ten Thousand Races Alliance?
"The reason is to keep you safe." Jiang Liyun said, a little embarrassed, "According to reliable sources, Feng Tian has rushed back from the extreme north, and it is directed at our Jiang family. ”
"His strength is too strong, if you insist on taking people, our Jiang family may not be able to protect you, so we can only send you out first, and when the Ten Thousand Clans Alliance opens, you will naturally be safe."
"I understand, just let me go out and hide for a while." Xu Mu clicked in and said, "No problem, you just need to arrange it." ”
"This ...... You can't use the word dodge, just to avoid the limelight temporarily. Jiang Liyun said with some embarrassment, their Jiang family is the big clan among the hundred clans, but now because of one person, they have to send the family genius out to avoid the limelight, which is really a bit embarrassing.
However, their Jiang family, in fact, is not unable to protect Xu Mu, but the price is too great, and it is not worth it to fight with the top domain master for a person with a foreign surname.
Jiang Liyun felt too embarrassed, and saw that Xu Mu didn't have anything, so he hurriedly took Jiang Li and left Xu Mu's room.
Xu Mu leaned against the window of the magic weapon, looking at the rapidly passing clouds outside, silent.
As soon as he came out of the pure void, he began to go to Zhongzhou again, and it was inevitable that there would be a sense of separation.
"But that's fine."
Xu Mu thought about the old man who always had a wine gourd hanging on his waist, and smiled slightly.
"Senpai, we'll see you again soon."
"And Miss Nangong, are you doing now?"
