Bang!

There was a muffled sound, and Mu Ying hit the wall behind her. The huge force shattered the wall and the trees behind her.

Among the rubble, Mu Ying slowly climbed up.

Her mouth was bleeding, her hair was disheveled, and she looked very embarrassed, but there was no trace of disrespect on her face.

"My subordinates are not doing their job well. Please calm down your anger."

Mu Ying lowered her head, not daring to look at the old man at all.

"Hmph!" The old man snorted coldly. Although the anger on his face was not gone, he did not take action against Mu Ying again.

"I can't handle any small things well. I'm obviously naturally charming, but I've failed one after another recently. It's okay that the guy surnamed Liang is indifferent to you. Now even Gu Xingyun doesn't like you. Could it be that everything I taught you before is gone?

forget?"

"I don't dare to forget this! It's just..."

Mu Ying hesitated for a moment and replied: "It's just that Gu Xingyun didn't know what medicine he took wrongly. In the past, he always obeyed me and obeyed me, but this time he had his own opinion."

"oh?"

After hearing her answer, the anger on the old man's face gradually dissipated, and a hint of contemplation appeared instead.

After a moment, he raised his hand and cast a spell, dispersing the black mist around him, and walked a few steps in the yard with his hands behind his back.

"It seems that someone reminded him behind his back." The old man's voice sounded slowly.

Mu Ying immediately realized something and said in surprise: "Your Majesty, what do you mean?"

"Hmph! Yi Yin has been doing a lot recently. It seems that she has some doubts about my identity. I'm afraid that the chess piece Gu Xingyun has already fallen into Yi Yin's hands."

"Then what should we do? Yi Yin is the high priest, and his status in the clan is not low, I'm afraid."

Before Mu Ying could finish her words, the old man waved her hand and interrupted: "Although Yi Yin is powerful, she can't enter Longding Mountain, so it won't affect our plan. The biggest variable now is the unknown Liang Zhidao.

!”

Upon hearing the words "Liang Zhidao", Mu Ying frowned and fell into deep thought.

However, an unexpected voice sounded at this moment: "Is that person named Liang really that powerful? Fellow Taoist, why not give this task to me? At this time tomorrow night, I will bring this person's head!"

As soon as he finished speaking, he saw a figure quickly elongating in a remote corner of the yard, and then stood up from the ground.

It was a man in black robes, tall and thin, with a sinister appearance.

Seeing this scene, Mu Ying's face changed slightly, and she was obviously a little surprised, but the old man's expression remained normal, as if he had expected it.

In fact, it was not only Mu Ying who was surprised, but also Liang Yan outside the hospital.

Because even he didn't notice the arrival of this person. Although there was a reason why he fell into the realm and didn't use his spiritual consciousness, the other person was able to hide from the detection of the "Eight Divisions of Evolution". This concealment technique can be regarded as

It's a masterpiece.

"The realm of the middle stage of Jindan"

Liang Yan frowned and thought about it carefully in his mind.

During this period, he and Lu Dayou often drank outside, and also inquired a lot about the news. There were only a few monks above the Golden Core realm of the Stone Spirit Clan. It was almost certain that the person in front of him was not a monk from the Stone Spirit Clan!

Just as he was thinking secretly, the old man's voice came from the yard again:

"Fang Yun, don't underestimate this guy named Liang. I played chess with him a few days ago and secretly tested his skills. This person's strength is definitely not inferior to yours. Otherwise, why would I let Mu Ying persuade Gu?

Xingyun? Without his help, you might have failed on your own!"

After hearing this, the man in black robe frowned slightly.

"Mr. Zheng, are you exaggerating? Although I am not your opponent, I still can't win against a boy who is in the early stage of the Golden Core?"

"Haha, this person is definitely not as simple as he appears. Fang Yun, I know you are very confident in your own strength, but our plan this time cannot allow for any mistakes, and we cannot take any risks. If the assassination fails, I'm afraid

The clues will be found by those who are interested."

"Okay." The man in black robe spread his hands helplessly, "Then let this man named Liang live a few more days."

"Hmph, he's lucky. If the old woman Yi Yin hadn't been keeping an eye on me, I would have taken action myself."

A flash of murderous intent flashed in the old man's eyes, but he soon returned to normal.

"Forget it, it's useless to talk more! In this situation, it's almost impossible to kill him before hunting in Longding Mountain. Fortunately, I still have a backup plan."

"Oh?" The man in black raised his eyebrows and asked, "What other plans does Mr. Zheng have?"

"I gave him the 'Taikoo'. This kid must be very happy, but he didn't know that I had already done something inside the puppet. Hehe, it's okay if he doesn't use it. Once he uses it, the puppet will give him a 'surprise'

!”

Everyone present knew what the old man meant by "surprise".

"Mr. Zheng is so calculating!" The black-robed man laughed and said, "If I remember correctly, then the full blow of 'Taikoo' can almost match that of a monk in the middle stage of Golden Core? When the time comes, he suddenly turns back and attacks, this kid

I’m afraid I can’t even figure out how I died!”

“More than that”

The old man stroked his beard and said calmly: "For the sake of safety, the restriction I left in the puppet can also mark its location. After entering Longding Mountain, you can first solve this variable, and then

Let’s carry out our plan again.”

"Mr. Zheng really has a plan! Fang admires him!" The man in black robe flattered him without leaving any trace.

"No need to compliment, we are all working for the divine religion, so of course we have to be cautious."

The old man's expression remained unchanged, looking indifferent.

After thinking for a while, he said again: "The high priest already has suspicions. Until the hunting at Longding Mountain, I won't be able to take action again. If anything happens, I have to rely on you to solve it."

"Don't worry, Mr. Zheng, we are among the ten tribes. Everything is ready, just waiting for the hunting to begin!"

"good!"

The old man nodded, glanced at Mu Ying and Fang Yun, and said slowly: "You two, remember, from the moment you join the divine religion, you will be a member of the divine religion in life, and a ghost of the divine religion in death! Your fate

It is no longer mine, and if you want to achieve that great wish, you have to die!"

"Til death do us part!"

Mu Ying and Fang Yun responded at the same time, with determination on their faces.

The old man seemed quite satisfied with their reaction, so he waved his hand and said: "It's getting late. That's all for today's discussion. You can go back."

"yes!"

Fang Yun's figure turned into a shadow again and disappeared into the night, while Mu Ying bowed respectfully and slowly retreated back until she left the old man's villa.

After everyone left, the old man still stood there with a thoughtful look on his face.

The next moment, he took out an ancient bronze mirror from his sleeve and inserted a spell into it.

The mirror light flickered, and a moment later a blurry figure appeared, vaguely a woman.

"Meet the master!"

The old man's face was extremely respectful, completely different from before.

"Is everything ready?"

From the ancient mirror, a lazy female voice came.

"Everything is ready, just waiting for the competition to begin." The old man lowered his head and replied.

"Well done. The efforts I have put into you are not in vain. I will reward you with the last half of the 'Xuan Gang Jue'."

As soon as he finished speaking, the figure in the ancient mirror waved his hand, the ripples on the mirror flashed, and a moment later a ray of light shot out, hitting the old man between the eyebrows.

The old man's eyes were dull for a while, and then he burst into ecstasy.

"Thank you Master for the reward! I will do my best not to let Master down!"

"As long as you have this heart, it's enough. After all, we all have the same great wish, right?" The man in the mirror said with a half-smile.

"certainly!"

The old man's eyes were solemn, and then he thought of something again, and asked hesitantly: "Master, I still don't understand why our original plan was not like this, why we suddenly accelerated the progress. After all, hunting in Longding Mountain is not the best time to start.

.”

"Zheng Qiu, you've been asking a lot of questions lately. I can only tell you that plans have changed and some things need to be done in advance. As for other things, don't ask questions that shouldn't be asked."

The voice in the mirror was very calm, and there was no hint of emotion or anger, but the old man's expression changed slightly.

He had followed her for many years and knew that his master was moody. He had actually violated her taboo by asking too many questions just now.

"I'm aware of my guilt! I don't dare to talk too much anymore, I just mind my own business." Zheng Qiu hurriedly lowered his head and said.

"It's good to know."

The woman in the mirror said calmly: "Zheng Qiu, the 'sound mirror' will be destroyed after today. Don't contact me again. I will send someone to pick you up after the plan is successful."

"I obey my orders!"

The old man nodded and watched the figure in the mirror slowly disappear. His face was very respectful and he didn't even dare to take a breath.
