"So, Young Master Mu, are you starting to fall in love with me now?" Xia Jing leaned over and said with a sweet voice.
Li Mu was speechless.
The sacred and solemn aura was gone.
It seemed that this was her real face.
If a mask was worn on one's face for too long, it would become a part of one's real face. Xia Jing's acting skills were indeed worthy of the title of "Veteran Actor".
"By the way, why did you enter the Four Brightness Immortal Mansion this time?" Li Mu couldn't stand the sweet breath of this stunner, so he took a step back and changed the subject.
Xia Jing still smiled charmingly. She seemed to see through Li Mu's awkwardness, but she didn't expose him. She said, "What do you think?"
Li Mu took another step back and said, "I don't understand. Although you also got a part of the fairy crystals and other wealth, I can tell that you are not very interested in the so-called immortal wealth. That's very strange. Because when we were at the Emperor Cliff, you very firmly asked me for a place to enter the Immortal Mansion, and it should not be without purpose. But after we entered the Four Brightness Immortal Mansion, it seems that you didn't do anything."
Xia Jing just smiled and looked at Li Mu.
She leaned against the entrance of the cave, stroked her long hair with her right hand, and then crossed her arms over her chest. She said with a smile, "On the contrary, in the development of the ruins of the Four Brightness Immortal Mansion, I have done what I should do."
Li Mu's eyes were full of questions.
Xia Jing slowly explained, "My biggest task is to follow you all the time and accurately report your location at any time."
"Huh? Report to who? "
"Sword God Fang."
"Oh? Are you spying on me? "
"If you really want to understand it that way, I don't want to correct you. But even if it's surveillance, the purpose of surveillance is to ensure your safety and not let you be tricked by others. If you really encounter trouble that you can't solve, then my purpose will be revealed. But it's a pity that you've dealt with all your enemies by yourself, which gave you the illusion that I'm useless."
There was nothing wrong with Xia Jing's logic.
And the way she spoke made Li Mu feel that she was not lying.
"Well, I believe you." Li Mu smiled.
Xia Jing responded with a smile.
At this moment, she finally felt that this man's barrier towards her was finally like the afternoon ice, gradually dissipating.
She realized that Li Mu had begun to regard her as a friend.
Li Mu did not say much more. He was about to return to his stone chamber to try to melt the Immortal Marrow. At that moment, Yu Ji, the female guard who had been standing guard outside, suddenly returned to the stone chamber and said, "His Honor has sent back a message. The battle of the Immortal Mansion is over."
"Oh?" Li Mu perked up and hurriedly asked, "What was the result?"
Yu Ji, who was wearing a green mask, remained expressionless. He said in a flat tone, "Of course, Milord won all the battles. Two lackeys of the Immortal Court above the King Level wanted to besiege Milord. It's like an ant trying to shake a tree. It's ridiculous that they overestimated themselves."
Li Mu heaved a sigh of relief.
The best outcome.
Yu Ji then said, "Lord has sent a message back, asking us to return to Four Brightness Immortal Manor. He wants to meet Imperial Teacher Mu Mu."
Li Mu nodded and said, "Okay, I also want to meet Sword God Fang."
He beckoned Yuan Hou and Little Nine out of the stone chamber, and then was about to walk out of the cave with Little Chen Huang.
Just at that moment, something strange happened.
"Boom!"
Yu Ji suddenly attacked. She fiercely slapped Li Mu's back.
"Crack!"
It was the sound of Li Mu's vertebrae breaking.
Li Mu was not prepared at all. He was directly blown away by the slap and slammed into the stone wall of the cave. He crashed through the hundreds of meters of rock and flew into the air.
"Puff …"
Li Mu spat out a mouthful of blood. His face was as red as snow, and his lips were as thin as gold. The immortal aura in his body was disordered, like a mountain torrent after a rainstorm.
Almost at the same time when Yu Ji launched a sneak attack on Li Mu, Feng Hen, another one of the eight divine guards, stabbed a dagger burning with purple Li Fire into the body of the defenseless Yuan Hou. Then, he clenched his left fist and punched the top of Yuan Hou's head.
Like Li Mu, Yuan Hou didn't have time to react at all. He was heavily injured and smashed into the stone wall, leaving a bottomless dark hole.
What happened was unexpected.
It was not until the two divine guards succeeded in their sneak attack that Xia Jing came to herself.
"What … what are you doing?"
Xia Jing was stunned.
She looked at Feng Hen and Yu Ji incredulously.
At the same time, she subconsciously kept a distance from them and operated her immortal core, ready to fight back at any time.
But Little Nine's reaction was one step faster than Xia Jing's.
Without uttering a sound, it opened its mouth and swallowed the young Astro Emperor into its stomach. Then, it turned into a stream of light and rushed out of the cave faster than Wind Mark and Rain Trace could react. It arrived in front of Li Mu and carried him on its back …
But in the sky, there was an invisible formation that slowly spread out, outlining a layer of glass-like Immortal Dao barrier that enveloped the cave and the entire mountain where the cave was located.
The surrounding area was sealed.
There was no way to escape.
"Howl!"
The hair on Little Nine's neck stood up, and his sharp teeth were exposed. He growled and stared at the two divine guards.
"His Honor has ordered us to kill Mu Mu and seize the immortal essence. Kill him without mercy."
Yu Ji's eyes were cold, and the words he said seemed to be emitting cold air.
"Xia Jing, thank you for the information you provided. His Honor has a great reward for you. Why don't you push it aside? Are you going to disobey his order?" Feng Hen also opened his mouth, with undisguised killing intent on his slender face.
Xia Jing's head was buzzing.
"That's impossible. The order that Milord gave me is definitely not like this. Could you … have made a mistake?" Xia Jing was still trying to figure out something.
"If you dare to disobey, I will kill you too." Yu Ji's voice was cold, like a cold-blooded viper without body temperature.
Feng Hen also said lightly, "You know the rules of our Eight Divine Guards."
Xia Jing's delicate body slightly trembled.
The Eight Immortal Guards were Fang Tianyi's' sharp blades of law enforcement '. They not only used iron-blooded means to eradicate the giants of the Union of Ten Thousand Immortals who caused trouble to one side, but also ruthlessly hunted down the traitors who betrayed the resistance army.
They were like ghosts, everywhere.
They were also like the god of death, judging everyone's life and death in secret.
"I want to contact His Honor and confirm it in person." Xia Jing slowly stepped back.
Yu Ji pulled out two scimitars from behind and said lightly, "It's a secret order from His Honor. It's normal that you don't know it. In order to trap Mu Mu, this place has been completely blocked. You can't contact His Honor with your communication qualification. When you kill Mu Mu and meet His Honor in person, he will explain it to you."
In Xia Jing's eyes, there was a struggle between heaven and man.
Never in her wildest dreams did she imagine that such a thing would happen.
His Honor actually wanted to kill Mu Mu?
Why?
All this was completely different from what she had planned at the beginning.
"Lowly female creature."
Little Nine cursed angrily in the air.
He tried several times, but in a short time, he couldn't escape from the restriction.
Xia Jing turned her head to look at him in a daze.
Li Mu lay low on the back of Little Nine. Two colors, one red and one white, flashed crazily on his face. His breath was extremely weak, and he couldn't even sit steadily.
This was the fatal sign of the supreme First Shower Palm that Yu Ji had mastered. Once the First Shower Palm Power blasted into the body, not to mention a small Golden Immortal, even a peak Immortal King would die.
When she looked at Li Mu, she found that Li Mu was also looking at her.
"I …"
Xia Jing wanted to explain something.
But when she met Li Mu's eyes, she didn't know what to say.
"This is the first time I trust someone since I came to this world." Li Mu smiled faintly, with a self-deprecating smile.
Xia Jing's heart tightened, as if something had gripped her tightly.
"I'm sorry."
Xia Jing said with a sad face.
She slowly stepped back to the outside of the cave and made room.
"A wise choice." Yu Ji nodded with satisfaction and said, "No wonder His Honor values you so much."
Xia Jing didn't speak.
She lowered her head.
Yu Ji floated in the air and slowly approached Li Mu in the air. She said, "Hand over the Immortal Marrow, and I'll give you a quick death."
Li Mu curled up the corner of his mouth and said, "If you can, come and get it yourself."
"You're about to die, but you're still not reconciled." Yu Ji held the scimitar with both hands, and the powerful aura of the Immortal King Realm flowed out like a tide, surging toward Li Mu.
The blade flashed.
A terrible killing move was about to be launched.
But at this moment —
Swoosh!
The bright sword light, behind Yu Ji, suddenly flashed and mercilessly attacked the divine guard.
Yu Ji's reaction was extremely fast.
The killing move that should have been aimed at Li Mu and Little Nine was slashed back.
Ding, ding, ding!
In an instant, countless swords and broadswords clashed.
Bang!
The sword blade exploded.
Blood spurted out.
The skin of Xia Jing's hands and arms was shaken open, and blood dripped down.
Compared with the eight divine guards, her strength was still inferior.
But she firmly stood in front of Li Mu and Little Nine. There was no hesitation or struggle in her eyes, but a burning anger, like a collapsing star.
"How dare you betray His Honor?" Xia Jing stared at Yu Ji and Feng Hen and said angrily, "You two, how dare you betray His Honor at this time?"
Yu Ji was slightly stunned and said, "The two of us followed His Honor's order to kill Mu Mu. Xia Jing, how dare you fight against the eight divine guards for a man?"
Xia Jing didn't care about the injury on her arm. She sneered and said in a stern voice, "Our Lord gave me the order to protect Mu Mu. He never told me to kill him. If there was a change in the plan, our Lord would have informed me. He didn't ask you two to act directly. This isn't the Lord's style … Yu Ji, Feng Hen, when did you betray our Lord?"
