His mechanical puppets possessed the brute strength of ancient beasts, but their bodies danced and spun like ghosts. Even a Great Saint would have to be careful when dealing with them, let alone a Middle Saint like Mu Yun.
"Dream on!"
Mu Yun sneered. Although the mechanical puppets were powerful, they also had a fatal weakness. He had already discovered it.
"Sparrow God Fan, open!"
Mu Yun roared and took out the Sparrow God Fan. The Sparrow God Fan unfolded behind him like a peacock spreading its tail, and a vast flame aura spread out.
"Your mechanical puppets aren't afraid of curses, but are they afraid of fire?"
Mu Yun snorted and waved his hand. The Undying Divine Flame exploded with a monstrous aura, mixed with the might of Inferno, and attacked the two mechanical puppets.
"Fire?"
Bai Gu Cheng was stunned. Although his mechanical puppets were made of wood, they were Connate Spiritual Wood, so they naturally weren't afraid of ordinary flames.
However, the flames released by Mu Yun were eerily black.
"My puppets aren't even afraid of the Heaven's Slayer Rune. Why would they be afraid of your little flame?"
Bai Gu Cheng snorted. Although he felt that Mu Yun's black flames were a little strange, he wasn't afraid. He still controlled the mechanical puppets to attack Mu Yun.
Mu Yun waved his hand, and the Undying Divine Flame fell on the mechanical puppets.
Bai Gu Cheng injected his origin force aura into the mechanical puppets, wanting to extinguish the flames.
However, the black flames were like maggots that wrapped around the puppets, and showed no signs of being extinguished.
In the blink of an eye, the black flames burned wildly, and directly covered the entire body of the puppets. Crackling sounds were heard, and under the burning of the Undying Divine Flame, Bai Gu Cheng's two mechanical puppets were quickly reduced to charcoal.
"Oh no!"
Bai Gu Cheng turned pale with fright. He wanted to recall the puppets, but it was too late.
Now, his mechanical puppets had been completely reduced to charcoal.
He and the puppets were connected by blood. If the puppets were destroyed, he would also be severely injured.
"Pfft!"
Blood spurted out from Bai Gu Cheng's mouth. His face turned pale, and a hint of fear could be seen on his face as he asked in a trembling voice, "What kind of flame is that? Could this be the Nine Netherworlds Vermillion Bird Clan's Undying Flames? "
Bai Gu Cheng was knowledgeable and experienced, and had also recognized the origin of the Undying God Flame.
"It's too late for you to realize it now. Die!"
Mu Yun snorted coldly. With a wave of her hand, poisonous vines shot out like pythons and coiled around Bai Gu Cheng.
"Don't kill me, let's talk!"
Bai Gu Cheng hurriedly begged for mercy when he saw that things were going south.
Mu Yun didn't say a word as she flipped open the pages of the Earth Elemental Book. The main hall was covered in grass as a few man-eating flowers broke out from the ground. They opened their bloody mouths and were about to swallow Bai Gu Cheng whole.
"Don't kill me, I'm Queen Cat's friend!"
"Hmm?"
Mu Yun raised her hand, and the man-eating flowers stopped moving. Their bloody mouths stopped above Bai Gu Cheng's head, and sticky juice dripped onto Bai Gu Cheng's neck.
Bai Gu Cheng felt a chill run down his spine. He said in a trembling voice, "I'm Queen Cat's friend. Speaking of which, we're also friends. Don't kill me. It was all a misunderstanding in the past. Let's talk things out."
"How are you Queen Cat's friend?" Mu Yun asked.
Bai Gu Cheng composed himself and said, "Queen Cat, Miao Xuanyi, is actually the daughter of our Hundred Tempering Villa's Villa Master. It's just that the outside world doesn't know about it. In terms of seniority, she still has to call me Uncle-Master. She turned from a little catgirl to a high and mighty Queen. Our Villa Master is supporting her from behind."
Mu Yun came to a realization. She had long guessed that Miao Xuanyi had an expert backing her, but she didn't expect it to be the Villa Master of the Hundred Tempering Villa.
Bai Gu Cheng said, "She has tightly sealed the news of the Heavenly Slayer Rune this time. The outside world doesn't know about it, but our Hundred Tempering Villa still knows about it. It's just that our Villa Master has ordered us not to come and snatch it."
Mu Yun's expression changed slightly. "Since your Villa Master won't let you come, why did you come?"
Hearing this, Bai Gu Cheng was stunned for a moment before realizing that he had said something wrong. He immediately felt regretful and hurriedly said, "Our Villa Master is her father. It's the same whoever gets the Heavenly Slayer Rune."
Mu Yun smiled coldly and said, "Forget it. You don't have to explain. No matter who you are, you have the intention to kill me. I can't let you live. Die!"
Bai Gu Cheng said in panic, "Don't kill me. I'm really …"
Crack …
Before he could finish his sentence, the man-eating flowers swallowed him.
Mu Yun couldn't be bothered to talk nonsense. He directly killed Bai Gu Cheng and devoured his qi, blood, and cultivation. Mu Yun also found some good things on Bai Gu Cheng's body. Other than the basic refining manual, there was also a special puppet manual.
What Bai Gu Cheng said might be true. Miao Xuanyi was really the daughter of the Hundred Tempering Villa's Villa Master. In terms of seniority, Bai Gu Cheng was Miao Xuanyi's Uncle-Master.
However, Mu Yun didn't care anymore. Since Bai Gu Cheng had the intention to kill him, he couldn't let him go. Otherwise, if he let the tiger return to the mountain, there would be endless trouble in the future. It was best to kill him directly.
A series of footsteps came from outside.
The sounds of fighting here also attracted the attention of the guards outside.
Mu Yun did not stay and directly teleported away.
After devouring Bai Gu Cheng's qi, his cultivation had increased by a lot. Now, the range of his teleportation had reached a radius of five miles.
Mu Yun could teleport within a radius of five miles. It was very convenient.
He quickly left the Black Ear Tribe. Now that the great witch was dead, the Black Ear Tribe was leaderless. It was only a matter of time before they were destroyed. Even if they had the support of the Jiuding Trading, they wouldn't be able to survive.
Outside the Black Ear Tribe, there were already assassin disciples waiting. When they saw Mu Yun come out, the disciples were very nervous.
"Sir, how's the situation?"
"I just saw Bai Gu Cheng go in. This is troublesome."
"Fortunately, Sir was able to escape unscathed and didn't get the Heavenly Slayer Rune. There's nothing we can do as long as Sir is safe."
…
All the disciples thought that Mu Yun had failed. After all, even Bai Gu Cheng had gone in. The situation was already out of control.
"Let's go back first."
Mu Yun remained calm. He knew that there were spies in the Assassin Guild, so he didn't dare to expose too much information. It was naturally best to keep a low profile.
When everyone saw Mu Yun's appearance, they thought that he had really failed and couldn't help but sigh.
Mu Yun didn't say anything. He was secretly thinking about who the spy was.
This time, the assassination mission of the great witch was strictly sealed. However, the great witch's subordinates already knew about it. Clearly, someone had leaked the news, but he didn't know who it was.
"If I know who the spy is, I will definitely kill him."
Killing intent flashed across Mu Yun's eyes. There was actually a spy. It seemed that he had to discuss it with Fang Tianyue.
Mu Yun returned to the Empress City and returned to the Empress Residence.
He saw Miao Xuanyi again and thought to himself, "I didn't expect her to be the daughter of the Hundred Refinements Manor Master. No wonder, no wonder she could take out a piece of Golden Essence Iron Jade as the mission reward."
Golden Essence Iron Jade was a rare refining material. This material was almost impossible to see on the market. However, the Hundred Refinements Manor was an orthodox refining sect. Naturally, they could take out a piece of Golden Essence Iron Jade.
"Mu Yun, you're back."
Miao Xuanyi was very happy to see Mu Yun return. She said, "Fortunately, you're fine. I received news from the spies that the great witch is already dead. She was killed by Bai Gucheng. The two of them died together. It's a pity that I don't know where the Heavenly Slayer Rune is."
Hearing this, Mu Yun's expression changed slightly. The outside world did not know that he had killed the great witch and Bai Gucheng. Now that the great witch and Bai Gucheng were dead, outsiders thought that they had died together.
Mu Yun remained calm and did not say anything. If it was in the past, he would definitely tell Miao Xuanyi the truth. However, it was different now. Miao Xuanyi had the support of the Hundred Refinements Manor. He did not dare to speak carelessly. It was best not to expose some secrets.
"It's a pity that I couldn't complete the mission. I won't be able to get your Golden Essence Iron Jade."
Mu Yun smiled bitterly and felt a little regretful.
"It's okay. The great witch is dead after all. Take this iron jade. I will also reward your disciples."
Miao Xuanyi took out a piece of jade. This jade was about the size of a palm. It looked like iron but was not iron. It looked like jade but was not jade. Its entire body was flowing with colors and was warm and lustrous.
"So this is the Golden Essence Iron Jade."
Mu Yun's heart skipped a beat. The Golden Essence Iron Jade was a material used to strengthen equipment. After using it, it could increase the power of magic treasures and weapons. It was quite precious. Of course, he wanted it.
"Forget it. I can't take it. I didn't complete the mission. How can I take your things?"
Mu Yun rejected helplessly. He did not want to expose the truth of the matter because compared to the Golden Essence Iron Jade, the Heavenly Slayer Rune was obviously much more precious. He did not want others to know the secret of the Heavenly Slayer Rune.
"Just take it. If you didn't help me back then, I wouldn't be here today." Miao Xuanyi stuffed the Golden Essence Iron Jade into Mu Yun's hands.
"Alright, I'll give you 100,000 Golden Essence Beads. Take it as a purchase."
Mu Yun put away the Golden Essence Iron Jade, but he did not take it for free.
"100,000 Golden Essence Beads? That's too much. Although the Golden Essence Iron Jade is precious, it's not worth that much. "Miao Xuanyi was shocked. 100,000 Golden Essence Beads was enough for her to reward the three armies.
"It's fine. I don't lack money."
Mu Yun smiled. He had a lot of money in the Heavenly Poison Ancient Pagoda's storage. After killing the great witch, he had also plundered a lot of Golden Essence Beads. Although 100,000 Golden Essence Beads was a lot, he could still take it out.
After all, this Golden Essence Iron Jade was not something that could be bought with money.
"Alright."
Miao Xuanyi did not refuse anymore. She was also in need of money. After all, war burned money.
She took out two pieces of a broken sword and handed them to Mu Yun. She said, "This is Bai Gu Cheng's Imperial City Sword. Although it has been attacked by the Heavenly Slayer Rune and has been reduced to scrap metal, it was once one of the Ten Great Famous Swords. Its material is extraordinary. I originally wanted to give it to my father … Cough, cough. I'll give it to you."
"En."
