……

Xu Mu went down the mountain smoothly.

After eating in the disciple's hall and taking a bath, Xu Mu returned to his courtyard when it was a little dark.

The Brewmaster has been here for a long time.

"You're finally back."

Inside the hut, the wine fairy opened his eyes and said to Xu Mu, who had just walked in the door with wet hair.

"So you're here."

Xu Mu yawned, then sat lazily in the wooden chair and said a little tiredly.

The wine fairy nodded and asked:

"It's too much, it's okay?"

Xu Mu nodded and said lightly:

"He found out who I am, but he doesn't know who I am."

"Besides, I have made a pact with him, and he won't get in the way of us anymore lately."

Hearing this, the wine fairy frowned and asked:

"Contract?"

Xu Mu nodded:

"Hmm."

"Taiwu Zhenren said that there are people in Tianshi Mountain who want to rebel, and there are many elders of the peaks involved, but he still doesn't know who the specific ones are, and the mastermind behind the scenes, so he asked me to help investigate."

The wine fairy was silent when he heard this, and he didn't ask why Taiwu Zhenren would ask you for help, nor was he shocked by the problems inside Tianshi Mountain, but silently opened the wine gourd and took a sip of wine.

"Actually, Senior Brother had already guessed it." The wine fairy said, and sighed with a complicated expression, "There has not been a single Heavenly Master inheritance of the Heavenly Master Mountain in the past dynasties, it is like today, and it is normal for something to happen."

Xu Mu was a little puzzled and asked:

"What's the situation?"

"Could it be that Zuo Mingqiu is not worthy of being the next generation of Heavenly Master, why would anyone disobey him?"

The Brewmaster shook his head and spoke:

"The First Monarch of the Nine Heavens, of course he deserves it."

"When I say different, I mean that this generation of Celestial Masters has lived too long."

"He has been alive since many, many years ago, and he is of the same origin as my master's uncle, and only later did he worship the Heavenly Master Mountain and become a Heavenly Master."

"After so many years, my uncle died, my master died, but he is still alive, because he has not found the inheritor, and he is unwilling to pass on the position of the heavenly master, so he uses the method of ghosts and immortals to hang his life and prevent himself from dying."

Xu Mu frowned slightly: "So, what does this have to do with the people of Heavenly Master Mountain not accepting Zuo Mingqiu?"

Brewmaster:

"Of course."

"The Heavenly Masters of the past dynasties, although they all inherited the position of Heavenly Master in their later years, but at that time they all still had the most peak strength, in a word, no one in Heavenly Master Mountain dared to have other thoughts, and when the old Heavenly Master was about to pass away, the Dao at that time should also be cultivated to the realm of being able to shoulder the heavy responsibility."

"But now, Zuo Mingqiu is too young, and the old Heavenly Master is about to be unable to hold on."

"And the most important thing is that before Zuo Mingqiu worshiped the Heavenly Master Mountain, that old Heavenly Master once found a successor named Zhao Qingdong, who had extremely high cultivation talent and was a woman."

"The Heavenly Master has been waiting for many years, and finally waited for a qualified inheritor, this Zhao Qingdong, who was cultivated by the Heavenly Master with all his resources, and even did not hesitate to give the Heavenly Master card in advance, so that he could freely cultivate his henchmen in the Five Peaks."

"That child, senior brother has met her once, and he has a very high opinion of her, calling her an innate Dao species, and she is delicate and delicate, and she is a perfect person."

"With power in his hands and talent, Zhao Qingdong has conquered all the peaks of Heavenly Master Mountain in just two years, and countless elders are willing to follow her, even if she is a woman, they are willing to serve her as a new generation of Heavenly Master."

"But then, Zuo Mingqiu came."

"Then, Zhao Qingdong was defeated."

Speaking of this, the wine fairy paused.

Xu Mu also sighed.

The rest is already obvious.

Zhao Qingdong lost to Zuo Mingqiu, and Daozi can't lose, so Zuo Mingqiu is a matter of course

For the sake of the Daozi of Tianshi Mountain.

The wine fairy continued, "No matter how much the Heavenly Master loves Zhao Qingdong, he can't ignore Zuo Mingqiu's existence."

"He was born on the same day as Zhao Qingdong, and his talent is as high as Zhao Qingdong, but his strength is even stronger, so the position of Daozi naturally fell on his head later."

"But the problem is that before this, many people in Heavenly Master Mountain, even including the peak masters of the five peaks, have already determined that Zhao Qingdong is the next generation of Heavenly Master, and there are many people who have paid a lot of price in private in order to have a good relationship with Zhao Qingdong, and those costs are irreparable."

"Zuo Mingqiu's arrival has made those people miserable, plus the state of the Heavenly Master is too bad, and it is possible to become an immortal at any time, so it is normal for people in the mountains to have strange thoughts."

Xu Mu nodded.

No matter those people, whether they want to correct Zhao Qingdong or take the throne as their own heavenly teacher, in short, Zuo Mingqiu's situation is very dangerous.

Although he may have cultivated many henchmen over the years, and has countless followers at his disposal, the enemy is often hidden in the shadows.

Until the dust settles on the position of the Heavenly Master, no one knows what will happen.

"This Zhao Qingdong, I've seen it." Xu Mu smacked his lips, and then told him that he had just strayed into the hidden peak and then saw a short-haired woman.

After hearing this, the wine fairy was a little surprised.

"She didn't even participate in the Ten Thousand Clans Alliance, is she actually practicing in retreat at the Hidden Peak, what realm is she now?"

Xu Mu: "Three-stage Ascending Realm."

When the wine fairy heard this, he was speechless and said:

"Isn't it the peak of the third stage, it seems that she is indeed a little short of Zuo Mingqiu."

"Since you have inadvertently met Zhao Qingdong, you can borrow her hand to investigate the affairs of Heavenly Master Mountain, and if you figure it out, it will also help our plan."

Xu Mu nodded, his thoughts were the same as those of the wine fairy.

Since Zhao Qingdong has the support of countless elders behind him, there must be them among the people who assassinated Zuo Mingqiu.

It's just that how to get closer to Zhao Qingdong is a troublesome matter.

"Zuo Mingqiu is in retreat, and he will be out of the customs in seven days, and at that time, Zhao Qingdong should go to Lei Chi to find him." The wine fairy said lightly.

Hearing this, Xu Mu raised his eyebrows slightly.

"Lei Chi."

"Then wait, see you in seven days."

……

……

After bathing, Zhao Qingdong changed into a brand-new pure white skirt, covered with a veil, and flew down the mountain with a pale red sword.

And so she went down.

Very few people know about this news.

But qualified, the first people who knew that Zhao Qingdong was going down the mountain were all those who were highly respected in the Heavenly Master Mountain, or those who were in a high position.

Those factional forces hidden in the shadows speculated about Zhao Qingdong's intention to go down the mountain, so for a while, there was an undercurrent inside Tianshi Mountain, and the chess pieces in many positions were mobilized.

But then, no one expected that the little red sword, after being silent for two hours, quickly flew towards Shengyang Peak.

In the dark night, she swaggered, without the slightest intention to hide, like a red glow that suddenly appeared in the night sky, attracting the attention of everyone along the way.

Then, she was stopped outside the Holy Yang Peak by a group of young disciples and asked her what she meant.

Zhao Qingdong said that she wanted to challenge Zuo Mingqiu.

The group of disciples said that there were too many people to challenge the senior brother, you have to go to the back and line up, and then they were slashed to the ground by Zhao Qingdong's sword.

Then, someone recognized Zhao Qingdong.

The elder of Shengyang Peak personally took her in, and informed Zuo Mingqiu that she was in retreat, and she would be out of the customs in seven days, but most of them would go to the Thunder Pond at that time, and there was no time to accept her challenge.

When Zhao Qingdong heard this, he sat directly outside the cave where Zuo Mingqiu was retreating, and was accompanied by the guards at the entrance of the cave day and night.

She was here, and there were many more guards in front of the cave entrance, including many Saint Yang Peaks

of the Elders.

But those people, not only those who guarded Zuo Mingqiu, but also a considerable number of people, stood behind Zhao Qingdong, with a serious face, as if they were afraid that something would happen.

And just like that, seven days passed.

Zuo Mingqiu is out of the customs.

As soon as he walked out of the cave, he sensed a chilling blood-colored sword intent.

……

"It's you."

Zuo Mingqiu walked out of the cave, looked at the short-haired girl in front of him, was stunned for a moment, and said with a smile:

"Congratulations, you've broken through."

Zhao Qingdong looked at Zuo Mingqiu and said calmly:

"If it weren't for the fact that a few days ago, someone caused a shock at Rakshasa Peak and disturbed my retreat, I would have been in the same realm as you now."

Zuo Mingqiu was stunned for a moment when he heard this, he also knew what happened to Rakshasa Peak a few days ago, it is said that the peaches on the 10,000-year-old peach tree in front of Lu Zu's tomb were actually picked up by someone, causing the ancestor of Tianshi Mountain to appear, and the sea of clouds shook, but even the head of the family came forward in person, and he couldn't find the person who walked in front of the patriarch's tombstone, who was it.

Zuo Mingqiu smiled:

"Fortunately, I wasn't in retreat, but in the Thunder Pool."

Zhao Qingdong's eyes darkened, and he said calmly:

"It's all the same."

"My way has been accomplished, and I can still defeat you by falling behind a small realm."

"If you don't have an opinion, then let's fight."

After that, Zhao Qingdong was about to make a move, and the red Dao sword bloomed with a magnificent sword, causing the heaven and earth abilities to throb, and the swords on the waists of the surrounding elders also trembled.

Zuo Mingqiu stretched out his index finger and tapped it slightly on his sword scabbard, and the latter instantly regained his composure.

Then he looked at the girl and said:

"I'm going to the Thunder Pool."

"I'm afraid I won't have time to fight you."

Zhao Qingdong frowned and said:

"I'll go back when I'm done."

"After winning you, I'm going to find the Xu Mu who won you."

Hearing this familiar name, Zuo Mingqiu smiled faintly and bitterly, and then said:

"You won't necessarily win me."

"I can't win against him."

Zhao Qingdong looked at Zuo Mingqiu, the sword in her hand became more and more violent, and she asked sharply with a sharp look in her eyes:

"Try?"

Looking at the girl's black, almond-like pupils, Zuo Mingqiu walked past her with a cold face, stepping on the breeze and jumping down the sea of clouds.

"Not trying."

"The reason I lost to Xu Mu was because of my physical body, so I'm going to Thunder Pool."

"As for you, just wait."
