Chapter 664: Ready to Go (Part I)
A burned-out ninety-nine story building alone is obviously not enough to conclude that the Fifth Mingyue has been poisoned by Bi Fang.
It was impossible for Xu Mu to accept the speculation of the death of the fifth bright moon so easily.
So he needed to find out.
The most direct and effective way is naturally to go to the Fifth Family to see if the Fifth Bright Moon's destiny is shattered.
After the ninety-nine story building was destroyed, the Lin family's council hall took its place and became a place for Xu Mu and others to discuss important matters.
Above the lobby, Xu Mu's eyes were closed and silent, and what kind of waves were hidden under his calm appearance was probably only known to him.
On both sides of the lobby, Luo Miao, Mo Danqing, and Chong Yu were sitting in danger.
In any case, they are all to blame for the disappearance of the fifth bright moon, and as powerhouses that break the void, the three of them were not aware of it at all on the day of the incident.
The ninety-nine buildings were reduced to ashes under their noses.
In the center of the chamber, the son of Chong was a leopard, and Lin Xia, the leader of the dark saucer, also had his forehead lowered and his expression solemn.
They could feel the anger hidden under Xu Mu's calm appearance, and since they saw Xu Mu's instant killing of Lin Crazy Xiao that day, their fear of Xu Mu was still above that of Chong Yu and Mo Danqing.
Especially after this time, Xu Mu's cultivation became even more unfathomable.
The council hall was silent for a long time before Xu Mufang opened his tired eyes, with shocking bloodshot pupils.
It had only been half a day since he learned the news of Fifth Mingyue's disappearance, but he felt as tired as if he had experienced dozens of major battles.
With tiredness in his eyes, Xu Mu's voice became much hoarse and sounded again: "I'm sorry for you." ”
Chong Leopard immediately knelt on his knees and said in a firm tone: "The Holy Monk heirs can rest assured, and their subordinates will leave for the Western Regions to inquire about Miss Mingyue's fate." More than half a month, less than ten days, and the subordinates will definitely return. ”
"Go!" A smile appeared on his face, and Xu Mu looked at Chong Leopard and nodded.
Originally, he wanted to go to the Western Regions in person, but now that the Southern Desert has just been pacified, as the leader, he must stay here.
And in view of the experience of the Huoyun Demon Monk who walked out of the Southern Desert and was besieged and killed by the Holy Land a hundred years ago, Ling Mo Danqing and Chong Yong's attitude was particularly resolute, and he refused to let him walk out of the Southern Desert alone.
Therefore, he chose Chong Leopard, the son of Chong Xuan, to go to the fifth family.
In the half a year of Xu Mu's retreat, the first day of this Nan Mo was not idle, driven by the huge resources left by the Lin family, coupled with his outstanding talent, he had already broken through the threshold.
I believe that in less than a year, he will be broken.
Except for Xu Mu's few broken voids, it is the strongest strength of Chong Leopard, and the time required to go back and forth is also the shortest.
"Yes!" the leopard took the order, and he didn't talk nonsense.
At the moment when the sound fell, the fat body had disappeared from the council hall.
"Half a month, it's really difficult!" Rubbing his somewhat tired forehead, Xu Mu's eyes full of red silk moved to Luo Miao and the three of them on the side.
He easily saw the look of shame on the faces of the three of them, and immediately forced a smile and comforted: "Don't have this expression, I don't blame you for anything, no one would expect this kind of thing." ”
In Xu Mu's heart, he had already linked the disappearance of the Fifth Bright Moon with Bi Fang.
As mortal beings, it is reasonable that the three of them have no room for maneuver at all.
"It's Brother Luo Miao who can't stand your little Xuzi, and he can't stand Mingyue's sister. Luo Miao grabbed her unkempt hair casually, and said with a look of indignation: "Don't let Lao Tzu know who is doing ghosts inside, otherwise I will kill him." ”
"Count me in!" Chong Yi also echoed Luo Miao's words with a murderous face.
"Alright. With a wave of his hand, the two of them stopped talking, and Xu Mu's bloodshot eyes turned to look at Lin Xia, who was still standing in the center of the hall.
This woman was the core steward in charge of intelligence in the Lin family before.
After destroying the Lin family, she did not have the slightest blood relationship with the Lin family, so she chose to surrender very decisively.
Because of her excellent intelligence ability and familiarity with the Southern Desert, as well as Luo Miao's relationship, Lin Xia has now become the leader of the Southern Desert Dark Disk.
The so-called dark disk is an intelligence organization under Xu Mu's command.
When Xu Mu was still a minor monk of the Imperial Qi Realm, he had suffered a big loss from Bai Xiaomen's intelligence, and even the importance of intelligence.
Therefore, the dark disc can be said to have been formed by his own order.
Lin Xia also showed extremely excellent intelligence analysis skills, and managed the dark dish in an orderly manner.
Half of the members of this organization were the original monks of the Lin family, and half of the Ling were monks from the old branch of the Fire Cloud Demon Monk.
It is no exaggeration to say that it is difficult to escape the eyes of the dark dish in the southern desert today.
"Lin Xia!" called out Lin Xia's name in a calm tone as much as possible, and Xu Mu's eyes met hers.
Lin Xia immediately knelt down on one knee and responded with a straight face: "Please ask the holy monk to command!"
Xu Mu commanded with a solemn face: "Let the brothers of the dark disc search for Mingyue's whereabouts with all their might, as long as she is still in the Southern Desert, there must be clues to be found." ”
"Yes!" Lin Xia nodded heavily.
"Besides......" Fingers tapped lightly on the seat above the council hall, Xu Mu suddenly asked, "The eyeliner distributed to the Eastern Boundary, Western Regions, and Beichuan should also be in place, right?"
"The Eastern Realm, the Western Regions, and Beichuan already had the eyes of the Lin family, and after Lin Yi and Lin Mad were ambushed, they all surrendered. Half a year ago, his subordinates sent a batch of dark disks to the rest of the world, and now they are all in place. Compared to the Lin family's intelligence network, there are even more eyeliners arranged in the other three realms. Lin Xia slowly explained the situation of the dark disk.
After all, the Lin family hadn't really exterminated the old sect of the Fire Cloud Demon Monk at that time, and the monks who could command it were obviously not comparable to Xu Mu, who was already in the Southern Desert together.
Moreover, the power that can be mobilized is focused on the Southern Desert, and for the other three realms, it is only symbolically arranged with some eyeliner.
Xu Mu deeply understood the reason, nodded, pursed his lips slightly and ordered: "Let the brothers of the other Three Realms give up all tasks and pay close attention to Mingyue's whereabouts, as long as Mingyue appears, I must know it as soon as possible." ”
Mo Danqing's face changed slightly, obviously he felt that Xu Mu's move was inappropriate, and after a little hesitation, he persuaded him: "Holy Monk Descendant! Now that the Tianxuan Sect has recovered, and the three holy lands have all been born, there may be changes in the Cangrui Domain at any time." Those monks who are sent to the other Three Realms are lurking in the Three Realms for this reason. ”
"Simply looking for Miss Mingyue can't divide much attention at all, and it can be completely done for them to pay attention while carrying out the task. ”
Xu Mu tilted his head, stared at Mo Danqing deeply, and said word by word: "No, I want them to go all out to find the Fifth Bright Moon." ”
Mo Danqing didn't expect that Xu Mu's attitude now would change from his easy-going past.
On weekdays, once he has an opinion, Xu Mu will consider it again and again, but this time the latter rejected his suggestion without even thinking about it.
Looking at the young man's blood-colored eyes, Mo Danqing finally chose to compromise and bowed his head and responded: "Everything is under the orders of the holy monk." ”
"En!" Xu Mushi nodded, and then closed his eyes slightly.
The chamber fell silent once more.
In fact, in the Southern Desert, Xu Mu could ask Mo Danqing's opinion for anything, but the fifth Mingyue couldn't.
Xu Mu found that he seemed to be more and more inseparable from the Fifth Bright Moon.
......
Originally, Xu Mu was out of the customs, and he was still thinking about attacking the Eastern Realm Locking Sky Array.
But the disappearance of the fifth bright moon completely disrupted Xu Mu's plan.
Now his heart is like a mess, and he has long forgotten about the matter of attacking the Lock Sky Array.
He knew that in this state, once he faced the night shadow that broke through the peak of the void, he would inevitably fall behind.
In that level of engagement, any omission will affect the outcome of the battle, and your own life does not matter.
You can't drag the people around you to die with you.
Therefore, this plan was silently shelved by Xu Mu.
Since the day Xu Mu left the customs, he sat motionless in the Lin family's meeting hall, waiting for the news of the dark saucers and the news of the leopard.
Cangrui Domain is still too big for Xu Mu, even if he goes out to look for it in person, it is estimated that the effect is very small, it is better to wait for news in this Lin family.
Now, he can only pin his hopes on the dark saucer.
During this period, Luo Miao, Mo Danqing, and Chong Yan never came to disturb Xu Mu again.
Maybe it's because of guilt, or maybe they know that Xu Mu needs to be calm.
His emotionally suppressed appearance is like a volcano that may erupt at any time, giving people a feeling that it may erupt at any time.
All the monks, when they passed by the council hall, did not dare to make the slightest sound, for fear of alarming Xu Mu.
In the entire Lin family, only Xiao Jiao dared to go to the council hall.
But he just slept quietly in Xu Mu's arms and accompanied him.
Although she was young, she could also see that the disappearance of the fifth bright moon was a big blow to Xu Mu.
A difficult half a month passed.
Chong Leopard, who went to the Fifth Family of the Western Regions to inquire about the Fifth Bright Moon Destiny, finally returned.
The little fat man has been working day and night for half a month, and with the strength of breaking the void in half a step, he didn't close his eyes once, and finally rushed back within the time he promised.
Before he could close a sip of water, he went straight into the council hall.
Above the council hall, he saw a scene that he would probably forget in this life.
In the influence of the leopard, the descendant of the holy monk who has always been gentle and elegant, handsome and extraordinary, but after half a month, he was stunned and had become an appearance that he couldn't even recognize.
He sat above the council hall with a cloak, his red eyes not a single white, all covered in blood.
In the depths of the pupils, there is a breathtaking glow, full of magic.
Xu Mu also sensed the return of the leopard, and just glanced at the latter lightly.
The little fat man's knowledge of the sea suddenly set off a stormy wave, and the Mud Pill Palace trembled.
The past events he had experienced in his life that he did not want to look back on, scenes replaying in front of his eyes like nightmares, as if they were going to devour his mind.
"It's scary!"
In a trance, Chong Leopard seemed to see a demon shadow appear behind Xu Mu, smiling at him with violence and coldness.
Although he knew that there was a huge gap in strength between himself and Xu Mu, when he really faced Xu Mu, Chong Leopard realized how huge the gap was.
He couldn't even bear the look of the holy monk's descendant.
"I'm back!" At the critical moment, Xu Mu took the initiative to remove his pupils from Chong Leopard's body, and let out a hoarse and low voice.
The leopard was suddenly relieved, and the demonic thoughts that lingered in his heart disappeared in an instant.
The fat man who withdrew from that terrible state found that his fat flesh was already covered with a layer of cold sweat.
He even had some terrifying guesses, if it weren't for Xu Mu, even if he removed his eyes, he would have died under his eyes.
After thinking about it like this, Chong Bao Shi heard Xu Mu's voice, forcibly suppressed the fear in his heart, and said in a trembling voice: "My subordinates are back!"
Xu Mu got up directly and stood up from the chair where he had been sitting for half a month, and asked with concern, "How is Mingyue's fate?"
Referring to the fate of the fifth bright moon, Chong Leopard finally squeezed out a smile on his face, and responded softly: "It's not broken!"
"Whew!" Xu Mu breathed a heavy sigh of relief, and the stone that had been pressing on his heart for half a month was completely put down with Chong Leopard's words.
As long as the Fifth Bright Moon's destiny is not broken, it proves that her life is not in danger.
Although Xu Mu didn't know where she was now, at least he knew that she was safe and sound.
As soon as he thought of this, Xu Mu's messy hair finally showed his first smile in half a month, and nodded towards Chong Leopard and whispered: "It's hard!"
Being able to gain the trust of the Fifth Family with the strength of breaking through the void in half a step, this Charging Leopard is obviously a waste of effort.
Even with Xu Mu's relationship, it is not a simple task.
is as arrogant as the fifth family, if you want them to face it squarely, you must at least have enough strength.
This is also the reason why Xu Mu asked Chong Leopard to go, and the person who turned into a dark disc was afraid that he would not even be able to enter the threshold of the fifth family.
Chong Leopard found that the entire council hall became like a spring breeze with Xu Mu's smile.
He couldn't help but secretly rejoice, if the news of this investigation was that the fate of the fifth bright moon had been shattered.
He didn't know how much pressure he had to bear, and he didn't want to bear the second time in his life.
is filling the leopard secretly rejoicing.
"Fill the leopard!" Xu Mu had already walked slowly in front of him, a pair of eyes that were bloodshot and violent before, but now they were deep.
"Call your father, Senior Mo, and Brother Luo Miao over. ”
"Yes!" Chong Leopard immediately replied, and his fat body disappeared into the conference hall without looking back.
Looking at his posture, it tastes like he has fled in the wilderness.
Xu Mu smiled helplessly.
He knew what Chong Leopard had fled for, and he didn't control the demonic nature of the Yin and Yang Demon Skill, so he was afraid that he would scare this little fat man a lot.
Thinking of this, Xu Mu suddenly stretched out his palm, looked at his palm and muttered, "The Yin and Yang Demon Skill is becoming more and more difficult to control. ”
Once you have killing thoughts and a little bit of violent emotions, the demonic side of the Yin and Yang Demon Skill will grow infinitely and suppress the side of the Buddha nature.
This discovery had to make Xu Mu pay attention.
But fortunately, he can still suppress that demonic thought now, and there will be no big surprises.
Even if there is an accident, it is estimated that it will be a matter for the future.
Now he doesn't have the heart to care about that.
"Eastern Boundary, it's time to go. The five fingers clenched violently, and Xu Mu said in a calm tone: "Wait for me to break through the Lock Void Array, and then look for the whereabouts of Mingyue and the whereabouts of my parents." ”
Even if he wanted to give up everything and go to find the fifth moon now, just as he wanted to find his parents right away.
But if he really did this, it would be irresponsible to the countless monks who trusted him in the entire Southern Desert, to the Guiyuan Sect that cultivated him, and to his own master.
Now that he was shouldering the hope of the entire Southern Desert and the Guiyuan Sect, Xu Mu had to hold back the impulse in his heart.
Thinking of this, Xu Mu glanced at the dark place in the council hall behind him, where the light could barely shine, and a bright smile bloomed on his face: "Come out, little guy, you've been guarding me for half a month, aren't you tired?"
"Babble!" Xiao Jiao let out a cheerful soft cry, ran out of his hiding place, and plunged into Xu Mu's arms.
Scratching Xiao Jiao's nose dotingly, Xu Mu scolded with a smile: "Little fool, do you think I don't know if I hide in the corner?"
"People just want to accompany you. Xiao Jiao also had a sweet smile on his face, full of innocence.
This half month is not only a torment for Xu Mu, but Xiao Yu Jiao is also very sad, because Xu Mu has not said a word to her in the past half a month, which is an experience she has never had since she was born.
She felt aggrieved.
"But now it's all over!" Xiao Jiao thought with a satisfied face as he lay in Xu Mu's arms.
Seeing Xiao Jiao's performance today, Xu Mu couldn't help but feel guilty, he had indeed ignored her feelings in the past half a month.
patted Xiao Jiao's head soothingly, as a comfort, Xu Mu chuckled and said, "Okay, little guy, I have something to do with you." ”
"What's the matter?" Xiao Jiao looked up at his little face and winked at Xu Mu.
"Let's go back to the ancestral land of the demon clan!" his eyes swept out of the council hall and looked at the sky outside, Xu Mu murmured softly, "Help me bring my senior brother and that crazy woman over." ”
"Why?" the little girl seemed to look like a curious baby again.
"I'm going to do a big thing!" The corners of his mouth were slightly raised, and Xu Mu patiently explained: "I can't miss my two senior brothers and sisters." ”
Eventually, Xiao Jiao left.
Returning to the ancestral land of the demon clan, it was effortless for it, and it didn't even use Xu Mu's reverse scales.
It seems to have some other means to be able to return there in an instant, and if you want to come to the overlord, it has also handed it a spatial shifting magic weapon similar to the reverse scale.
"It's been almost a year. When I left, I was about to break the void when I left my senior brother, and with his talent, it is very likely that he will succeed now. ”
"Duanmu Rong should at least break through the void in half a step. ”
"With the help of the two of them, I have a better grasp of breaking the lock empty array. ”
Xu Mu muttered to himself and walked out of the council hall, and it was already late at night.
Looking up at the starry night sky above the sky, Xu Mu added: "This formation is breaking through the void and the peak power will definitely die. ”
This is a real battle.
Once he broke through the Lock Sky Great Array, it meant that he and the entire Southern Desert completely occupied the opposite side of the Xuanyuan Sword Sect.
It is equivalent to opening the battle with the Holy Land, and the days to come will be accompanied by death.
But Xu Mu didn't have a choice, just like he was forced to flee in embarrassment by the Xuanyuan Sword Sect and finally had to come to the Southern Desert to inherit the power of the Huoyun Demon Monk.
He had to break through the Great Array, because there was his master, his fellow disciples, and his worries inside.
