Chapter 54: Master Baixiangu, a certain Fei actually noticed the system?! ...

"Master?!"

When Gu Congxing saw the words on the manuscript, he immediately squatted down and read the manuscripts carefully.

Jiang Zhou studied for a long time and the manuscript was a thick stack. Gu Congxing flipped through it quickly and finally got what he wanted in a few pages.

"Senior Jiang Huai is truly a brilliant array genius! I'm afraid the Jiang family has only produced one like him in a hundred years. The Forgetfulness Vine Pattern... truly a genius design!"

"But why did such a senior die so young? And died in the mortal realm? I asked the clan leader, but was scolded. It's so strange. It seems that I can't ask the clan leader about my discovery of a mutation in the Forgetfulness Vine Pattern."

"So, Sword Master Zhuoguang Chen Mu is actually a member of the Jiang clan! And he's the only descendant of Senior Jiang Huai! And Senior Sister is incredibly well-informed... But Sword Master Chen Mu is known for his coldness, and the Jiang clan are known for their loyalty and loyalty. They're not alike at all."

Gu Congxing frowned as he flipped through the manuscripts. Several pages had drawings of the Forgetfulness Vine pattern formation, and each one was different.

"No, this is definitely not a complete Forgetfulness Vine Pattern! Senior Jiang Huai actually left behind a fragment? Why?"

After several dozen pages of manuscripts, Gu Congxing saw the page he had first discovered: "There is probably only one complete Forgetfulness Vine Pattern in the world today!"

"That's on Jiang Huai's own son - Chen Mu!"

Gu Congxing frowned.

The first few pages seem to be incomplete. Could it be that Jiang Zhou took them away?

Since it was related to his master, he was really curious.

[Ding! Host, a key hidden plot item has been detected: Jiang Zhou's manuscript!]

[Ding! Get the hidden plot function activated! ]

[Ding! The host only needs to touch the redemption target and silently recite "hidden plot" in his heart to start! ]

Gu Congxing's eyes lit up.

He folded the manuscript, looked around the cave again, and after confirming that there were no other clues, he walked out.

"From the stars."

As soon as he came out, he heard a clear call.

"Master?!"

Gu Congxing turned around in surprise and saw Chen Mu's figure.

He walked up quickly and asked, "Master, why are you here?"

Shen Mu's eyes swept over Gu Congxing's body, looking into the cave behind him, and then he withdrew his gaze after a moment.

"Jiang Zhou is missing, his life lamp is flashing, the clan leader is furious, and has ordered half of the Jiang clan's disciples to come out and investigate." Chen Mu's expression was calm, "I'm here to investigate this as well."

After he finished speaking, he summoned the Zhuoguang Sword, leaped forward, turned around and extended his hand to Gu Congxing.

"Come."

"Master? I can summon the Whale-Slaying Sword myself..."

"Together is faster. We need to reunite with the others as soon as possible."

Gu Congxing paused for only a moment before extending his arm to Chen Mu, who held it tightly.

With a little effort, Chen Mu pulled Gu Congxing onto the Zhuoguang Sword, and the two of them immediately flew towards the east.

This is exactly the direction Jiang Li and Jiang Luo are heading.

After a while, a dense forest was reflected in Gu Congxing's sight, and not far away was a misty valley.

"It's right here."

Before Chen Mu and he landed in the valley, there were already more than a dozen Jiang disciples surrounding the place. Among them was Jiang Li with a serious expression.

She was originally talking to the disciple beside her, but when she saw Gu Congxing, her eyes suddenly lit up.

"Uncle Master! Fellow Daoist Gu!" she called out, "Fellow Daoist Gu, do you have any clues?"

Gu Congxing walked up to the Jiang disciple and shook his head.

"There's no demonic energy there. At the end is the cave where Jiang Zhou is temporarily staying, so that's why his spiritual power is there."

Jiang Li frowned and looked back at the valley surrounded by layers of trees. "Is that so? We've been following traces of spiritual power all the way here, and we've finally arrived here. It seems that Junior Brother must have been led into this Hundred Immortals Valley."

Gu Congxing followed her gaze and saw a deep valley filled with thick fog, towering ancient trees, and vines clinging to them. The deeper they went, the more the sky was swallowed by endless darkness.

...It doesn't look like there are fairies here, but there should be quite a few monsters.

"Jiang Luo is exhausted, so I let him go first. Next, we will split into several teams and enter the Hundred Immortals Valley. Two elders have already set off."

Jiang Li bowed slightly to Shen Mu, then said to Gu Congxing, "This Hundred Immortals Valley is filled with miasma and poisonous insects. It was originally the place where Jiang's disciples went through trials to advance to higher ranks. Fellow Daoist Gu has already helped us a lot, so there's no need for that anymore..."

"It's okay. A mere miasma and poisonous insects can't trap me." Gu Congxing raised his head towards her, a bright light surging in his glassy eyes. "Since I've decided to help you, why would I give up halfway?"

"Fellow Daoist Gu..." Jiang Li's expression was moved.

"Hey, Congxing, how can you steal the credit in front of a beautiful woman?"

A familiar voice was heard, and Gu Congxing looked in the direction of the voice, and it turned out to be Yao Qi and Xiao Wangyou.

"Are you here to look for Jiang Zhou as well?"

"Yes. Jiang Zhou is the direct disciple of the Jiang clan leader. His disappearance is of great significance."

Xiao Wangyou came over with a sword in hand and said to Jiang Li, "We two will also do our best to help you."

Jiang Li looked surprised, but then clasped his fists solemnly.

"Jiang Li will always remember your kindness. In this case, we should set off without further delay."

Jiang's disciples entered the Hundred Immortals Valley in groups of three or five. Jiang Li turned to look at Gu Congxing and said, "Fellow Daoist Gu, would you like to come with me?"

Gu Congxing was about to speak when he heard a cold voice behind him: "Congxing, come with me."

"Uncle Master?!" Jiang Li looked surprised. "Are you going with us?"

She originally thought that Shen Mu would not participate in such actions of the disciples, not to mention that Shen Muying did not know Jiang Zhou.

"Yeah." Chen Mu didn't say much, but just walked towards Baixian Valley with a sword in hand.

Gu Congxing immediately followed closely behind him.

Everywhere you look is dense dark green. The vegetation here is extremely lush, but the animals are huge.

The further we went, the darker the fog in the air became, and it gradually turned purple.

Gu Congxing circulated his spiritual power to dispel the miasma around his body.

He raised his eyes to look at his master beside him, only to see that he was still dressed in spotless white clothes, looking even more holy and awe-inspiring in this strange place.

As if noticing Gu Congxing's gaze, Shen Mu slowed down his pace.

"...This place wasn't originally called Baixian Valley."

Chen Mu suddenly spoke, and Gu Congxing was stunned for a moment before he replied, "What?"

"This place was originally called Baixian Gu. Bones of white bones." Chen Mu's tone was calm, but what he said shocked Gu Congxing, "It was named this because there are so many corpses of monks buried here."

"Is that so..."

For a moment, Gu Congxing felt a stronger sense of dampness all over his body, and he couldn't help but move closer to Chen Mu.

Shen Mu's gaze paused, and he continued, "There is a giant formation deep in the Hundred Immortals Valley. It was originally a formation left over from ancient times, but it was improved by the Jiang family and can teleport people thousands of miles away."

Gu Congxing thought, "Master, I'm afraid the demons who abducted Jiang Zhou are going to use this formation to move to Youbeizhou?"

"Um."

"But the location of this formation is so secret, how could the demons know it..."

Gu Congxing felt a chill run down his spine as he spoke these words. "Master, could it be that the demons have an inside job?"

He couldn't help but think of Lan Jue's previous similar speculation, and his heart sank.

"It's still unclear. But if it wasn't to divert the giant formation, they shouldn't have fled here."

As soon as Chen Mu finished speaking, Gu Congxing felt a cold light suddenly flash before his eyes!

“Swish!”

A blood-red tentacle suddenly attacked. Gu Congxing was about to draw his sword, but he saw the spiritual power around Chen Mu move slightly, and the tentacle turned into powder.

Before he could sheath his sword, Shen Mu's spiritual power shot straight forward again, actually splitting the dense group of monsters into pieces.

It only had time to let out a roar before it suddenly fell to the ground and turned into powder.

Gu Congxing: “…” Is this the strength of a Sword Master in the Spirit Transformation Stage?

Shen Mu did not stop at all, and even did not draw his sword, and continued to move forward.

Gu Congxing followed him deeper into the country. During the period, many ferocious beasts and giant insects attacked, but they were all destroyed by Chen Mu in an instant.

With a strong man by his side, Gu Congxing felt that this deep and dark Baixian Valley was nothing special, and his steps became more vigorous.

If we continue like this, we will reach the formation soon.

[Ding! Reminder to the host, you have activated the function of obtaining hidden plots. If you do not use it for a long time, it will be regarded as giving up this function at the current stage! ]

[Countdown 2:00:00…]

Gu Congxing suddenly stopped.

"From the stars?" Chen Mu looked back doubtfully.

Gu Congxing glanced at the colorless stone slab in the air that was counting down, and said to Shen Mu:

"...Master, I think it's getting dark. How about we take a short break before heading to where the formation is?"

Shen Mu was silent for a moment, staring at Gu Congxing with his ice-blue pupils, and then retracted his gaze.

Not sure if it was an illusion, but Gu Congxing always felt that his master seemed to be looking up into the sky.

"Yes. We will reach there soon. You can rest for a while."

He looked around but didn't find a suitable place to stay, so he simply summoned the Zhuoguang Sword and flew directly towards a hill!

"boom--!"

Where the Zhuo Guang sword was stabbed, a hole was directly cut out in the hill!

Gu Congxing: "..." Is this the strength of a Sword Master in the Spiritual Transformation Stage?!

The monsters that were lurking in the shadows around him immediately scattered. Chen Mu sheathed his sword, and spiritual power surged throughout his body.

He walked aimlessly, leaving behind pure frost wherever he passed, like a silver-white ice lotus blooming in a swamp.

Gu Congxing asked in surprise: "Master?"

At this time, Shen Mu had condensed a layer of frost and snow in the cave. When she looked back at him, her white robe fluttered in the snow.

"Come."

Gu Congxing stopped asking questions and just walked towards him.

It was not until he entered the cave that he discovered that the ice mark left by his master was actually an extremely exquisite magic circle. The spiritual energy surged on it, isolating all the ferocious beasts from the outside.

Gu Congxing sat not far from Shen Mu and saw that he had closed his eyes and sat cross-legged in meditation.

Although he was in a dangerous place, he was fearless when he was with his master.

Can the hidden plot allow him to know the secret of the forgetfulness vine pattern on his master's body?

Gu Congxing moved closer until he was sure that Shen Mu had completely entered into a state of meditation, and then he walked silently to his side.

[Beep! Countdown 1:00:03…]

"System, when I enter the hidden plot, will I spend the same amount of time in the real world?"

If we miss the opportunity to rescue Jiang Zhou because of this, it will be too late to regret.

[No, host! Even if many years have passed in the hidden storyline, in reality, it is only a moment!]

That's not bad.

Gu Congxing glanced at the system silently, then focused his attention on Chen Mu's wrist.

Gu Congxing felt a warm and cool touch on his fingertips, and he muttered to himself.

"Hidden plot."

“Swish——”

His eyes were suddenly filled with white light. This feeling was very similar to when he entered Lan Yude Demon!

He felt his consciousness being withdrawn, but at this moment, Chen Mu in front of him suddenly opened his eyes!

"Master?!"

Gu Congxing couldn't help but exclaim when he saw those ice-blue eyes.

What the master was looking at was clearly the colorless stone slab in the air!

Master, a certain person actually noticed the system?!
