Chapter Seventy-Three: Good Things Turning Bad
In this way, Mu Chen became the king of the merman clan. Although some people were still unconvinced, Wang Chang stood up and was the first to express his support for Mu Chen.
But Mu Chen still has his own mission to complete, and he can't be the king at ease at the bottom of the sea. So, he handed over the right to deal with the affairs of the merman clan to the chief king. After spending these days with Wang Changxiang, Mu Chen knew that he was a person with a sense of responsibility, affection, and genuine concern for the merman clan.
"Mu Chen, the merman clan will rest assured that I will complete your mission with peace of mind. But remember to come back and check it out more often. Wang Chang patted his chest and said.
"Well, contact me in time if there is anything. ”
After waving goodbye to the king, Mu Chen left with Jie Sheli and Liu Yu, as well as a group of fishmen.
These fish people were originally humans, and they were one of Mu Chen's missions this time. But the antidote that Wuyu gave to Mu Chen before was not enough at all, and only after he went back, Wuyu was detoxified one by one.
Fortunately, Mu Chen became the king, and these fish people obeyed Mu Chen's orders and quickly swam ashore with Mu Chen and the three of them.
The matter of saving people is solved, and the next step is to find the fragments of the Heavenly Netherworld.
Mu Chen thought about taking out the animal skin map, and was just about to step out and walk towards the island, but he was stopped by Jie Shuli.
He said, "Let's go back quickly, what are you doing!"
Mu Chen raised the map in his hand, "What are you doing? Have you forgotten the real purpose of our coming here?"
"Hey, hey, I'll show you something. She had already guessed Mu Chen's thoughts, and said mysteriously.
"What's that?"
I saw that he slowly put his hand in his pocket, and then slowly clenched his fist and stretched it out.
"Hurry up for me!" Mu Chen urged.
"Oh!"
He opened his hand, and a fragment of the Heavenly Underworld lay in his palm.
"Heavenly Fragment!" Mu Chen picked up the fragment in surprise and looked at it repeatedly, "Where did you find it?"
"This one fell from Lan Feng. I hid it secretly. I think he has lived alone for thousands of years, and he has become like that again, which should be caused by the fragments of the Heavenly Underworld. ”
"Ah Li, you're amazing!" Mu Chen excitedly gave a big hug to Jiesheli.
"Haha, Mu Chen, Xiao Xuan, congratulations on your smooth return!"
Li Dong received the news of Mu Chen's return trip early in the morning, and led a group of people to block the seaside, waiting for them to come back.
"Mu Chen!" Xiao Yuanba, who was standing in Li Dong's hand, jumped up as soon as he saw Mu Chen, and stretched out his hand to hug him.
"Oh, I haven't seen you for a few days, you're fat again, haha!" Mu Chen quipped while hugging Xiao Yuanba.
"Hmph," Xiao Yuanba crossed his hands on his hips and pouted, "You actually left by yourself while I was asleep, you can't do this next time, you know?"
"Okay, good!" Mu Chen smiled helplessly.
"Wuyu, they'll be handed over to you. Mu Chen pointed to the fish on the boat and said to Wuyu.
"Don't worry. Wu Yu said confidently.
Because the appearance of the fish-people is too special, and their minds are not stable at the moment, they may make some brutal moves at any time, so they can't be brought back directly. They can only stay on the boat, and wait for Wuyu to detoxify and then be taken back by the police station.
Fortunately, these days, Wu Yu has worked hard to develop a secret medicine for rapid detoxification. Two hours later, the fishmen on the boat all recovered and came to their senses.
"Uncle Liu, Uncle Wang!" Liu Yu recognized his father's good friend in the crowd and exclaimed excitedly.
"Thank you for your help! I'll take my uncles back first. After Liu Yu thanked him, he took the villagers back.
The rest of the people were ordered by the police chief Wang Shuai to be brought back first.
The dust settled, and the fragments of the Heavenly Underworld were also in hand, and Mu Chen and the others returned to the Fragrance Pavilion.
But it's strange to say, since Mu Chen ate the queen's essence, there has been no reaction at all.
Back in the Fragrance Pavilion, Mu Chen and Duan Sheli painted a vivid picture of what happened at the bottom of the sea. Not to mention, these two people's ability to add fuel and vinegar is really powerful, and they often surprise the audience Li Dongyi, Wuyu and Xiao Yuanba.
"You mean you've become the king of the mermaids?!"
"You ate a Jing Yuan with 10,000 years of cultivation?!"
"You're married!"
"No, no," Mu Chen hurriedly explained, "It's not a marriage, my ceremony with her hasn't really been completed." ”
"It's not important, let me check it out for you. Wuyu excitedly put his hand on Mu Chen's hand vein, and carefully probed.
It's just that Wuyu's gradually frowning brows made the originally happy group of people also frown and worry.
"Oh, Wuyu, say it quickly, what are you frowning for!"
Wu Yu took his hand away and said uncertainly: "I was able to detect that Dao Muchen has a powerful spiritual power in his body just now, but this spiritual power seems to be bound by something, and it can't be fused with your own spiritual power, and your cultivation will not be improved." ”
"Hey," Mu Chen said with a sigh of relief, "What should I do! If I can't get it, forget it, I can cultivate by myself." ”
"No," Wuyu shook his head, obviously he hadn't finished speaking just now, "but after all, this is the essence of the merman's cultivation, and it doesn't merge with your own spiritual power. Now you have to find a way to release this spiritual power, otherwise, it will devour your own cultivation little by little, and it is very likely that you will go mad. ”
Wu Yu's words made the people present nervous. Especially Mu Chen, his palms were already sweating nervously.
Mu Chen asked cautiously, "What will happen if you release it?"
"Either merge with your own cultivation and you instantly have 10,000 years of cultivation, or encroach on your cultivation and you go mad. Half of the probability of each. However, if it is not released, it must be the second case. Wu Yu said affirmatively.
"Then what are you doing in a daze, get the things out of his body for him!" Xiao Yuanba shouted anxiously.
"Alas," Wuyu shook his head and said helplessly: "Mu Chen's body is a 10,000-year cultivation, and none of us present can urge it!"
There is no meaning of depression, that is, now you can only look at the will of heaven. If there is a person who can urge the essence element, it is naturally better, if not, it can only rely on Mu Chen's luck and let the essence in the body run on its own.
The current Mu Chen is like a ** that may explode at any time.
Alas, Biluo, you have really killed me! I have been a king for a few days, and am I going to die?
Mu Chen knew that he didn't have long to live, so instead of staying in the Fragrance Pavilion and dying quietly, it was better to hurry up and find the next piece of Heavenly Netherworld. Find one more piece and you'll have one more chance of winning the big battle in the near future.
After agreeing on where to go next, Mu Chen and the others went back to their rooms early to rest.
In the blink of an eye, it was November, and Mu Chen looked at the yellow leaves outside the window. A gust of wind blew, and the leaves fell from the branches with a shudder and fell to the ground, gently covering the dead branches and leaves that had died first.
At this moment, Mu Chen felt like a fallen leaf floating in the wind, and in the next second, he might have fallen to the ground. Yes, no one knows that their lives are short, and they can't face it calmly right away.
"Knock knock!" a sudden knock on the door pulled Mu Chen out of his sad thoughts.
"Ah Li, why are you here?" Mu Chen opened the door and saw that it was Duan Sheli standing outside.
"Why, don't you invite me in and sit?" said as he walked into the room, "Why don't you turn on the lights!"
Breaking away from touching the switch on the wall, as soon as the light was turned on, the whole room instantly lit up, and the warm light shone on Mu Chen's body, and he suddenly felt warmer.
"Oh, are you stupid under pressure at the bottom of the sea, it's November, the weather is getting cold, why are you still leaving the window open, you really think you are a person who cultivates immortals, you won't catch a cold!"
As he spoke, he closed the window and closed the curtains. He naturally sensed that Mu Chen was uncomfortable, and kept talking, wanting to liven up the atmosphere.
"Ah Li, we have to leave early tomorrow morning, you don't go back to sleep, if you get up late, I won't wait for you. Mu Chen pretended to be relaxed and joking.
"Oh, I almost forgot about business!" he patted his head, and then remembered that he had come to Mu Chen and had one more thing to tell him.
"Do you remember Sima Yang?" asked Jie Shuli.
"Sima Yang, of course I remember, when we were in the Flame Mountain, we found the first Heavenly Immortal Fragment together. ”
Mu Chen recalled the fierce scene when everyone fought the evil dragon together. It's really been a few months unconsciously, and since he came back from the Flame Mountain, Mu Chen hasn't seen Sima Yang again.
"Alas, I thought that the four of us went into the desert together, but now, Ruoxing ......" Thinking of Liu Ruoxing, Mu Chen's emotions fell again.
Seeing that Mu Chen was sad again, he quickly said, "Brother Li told me just now that the place we are going to tomorrow happens to be not far from the Hidden Dao Sect where Sima Yang is located. Moreover, he has now become the sect leader of the Hidden Dao Sect. ”
"Really? Then we can go and see him first, I don't know if Sima Yang still remembers us, haha!" Mu Chen thought that it would be great to be able to meet the old man here.
"Well, that's it. You go to bed early, don't think about what you have and don't. She patted Mu Chen's shoulder and went out.
The place where Mu Chen and the others searched for the Heavenly Immortal Fragment this time was located in a primeval forest at the junction of the Yuzhi Continent and the Sulfur Yuan Continent. And Sima Yang's Hidden Dao Sect is on the border of the Yuzhi Continent.
This time, Li Dongyi still joined the team. As soon as he came, he watched Mu Chen and them risk their lives outside to find the fragments of the Heavenly Underworld and find the treasure of salvation, and the blood in Li Dongyi's heart was also ignited. Second, Mu Chen's situation is unstable now, Li Dong can't rest assured, in case something happens, it's really difficult to explain to Mu Chen's master Li Chengfeng.
There is also Xiao Yuanba, who said nothing this time and won't sleep. He sat on Mu Chen's shoulder with his eyes wide open, refusing to leave him half a step no matter what.
At noon, Mu Chen and the others arrived at the border area of the Yuzhi Continent and arrived at the most marginal city, Qingtan City.
Although Mu Chen and the others said that they wanted to see Sima Yang, before leaving, they tried to contact Sima Yang, but they couldn't get in touch, and even Wuyu, who had been on several missions with Sima Yang, couldn't contact him.
But fortunately, Li Dongyi knew the location of the Hidden Dao Sect. Mu Chen and the others followed Li Dongyi around the small block of Qingtan City, looking for the gate of the Hidden Dao Sect.
"Brother, how can this Hidden Dao Sect be in the urban area?"
"That's right, when you talked about Sima Yang before, didn't you say that they were cultivating on the mountain?"
"Well, I didn't think I heard Sima Yang say that the Hidden Dao Sect was in the urban area. ”
"Oh, don't argue, I can't lie to you!" Li Dongyi was annoyed by the chatter of the three people behind him, glared at them, and the three of them immediately quieted down.
