Mu Chen lay on his bed, deep in thought. He pondered over the fact that he had transmigrated into a character who, for the sake of a white lotus, broke off an engagement, spent fortunes, and fierce...
Chapter 302
Shi Jingtian smiled palely and said, "Zhuang Jin was taken away by the Fate Clan, and we were also taken to the Fate Clan. I felt something was wrong. The Fate Clan was too good to us, using the natural treasures tightly. When will a race like the Fate Clan become a Bodhisattva?"
"When I learned that the Ming Clan had five martial masters proficient in alchemy, talismans, formations, inscriptions, and weapon refining, I was horrified."
"It's a pity that Murong Feng and the others are not alert at all. They just think that they are peerless geniuses and have been recognized as heroes by others. They want to achieve the peerless feat that even the predecessors could not do." When he said this, a sneer flashed across Shi Jingtian's face.
"Although the people of the Fate Clan said they would do their best to help us cultivate our magic to the late eighth level, I feel that what they value more is our cultivation."
"If Wu Zun wants to seize another body, the cultivation level of the body being seized cannot be too low. Murong Feng and his men think they are valued and are trying their best to get the powerful people of the Fate Clan to look at them differently. However, they don't know that the faster his strength increases, the sooner he will die."
Ye Shi widened his eyes and said, "So, you advanced so late because you..." You didn't dare to advance?
Shi Jingtian frowned. He didn't know whether his guess was right or wrong, but this guess left him with a deep knot in his heart. With such a deep knot in his heart, Murong Feng and the others' cultivation speed improved by leaps and bounds, but his progress in cultivation was very slow.
After his cultivation fell behind, Murong Feng and others began to isolate him intentionally or unintentionally and ridiculed him.
Shi Jingtian was full of doubts but dared not express them, and had to endure the prejudice of Murong Feng and others, which made him feel more depressed.
When he learned that Zhuang Yu also had the opportunity to subdue five peerless geniuses, Shi Jingtian became even more suspicious. The power of the Fate Clan was too great, and there were too many masters in the clan, which was far beyond the reach of the Inscription Tower. Even though he was full of doubts in his heart, he could only swallow all his uneasiness and suspicion.
Mu Chen looked at Shi Jingtian calmly and said, "Young Master Shi, why are you telling me this?"
Shi Jingtian looked at Mu Chen, frowned, and said, "You want to kill me?"
"Yes." Mu Chen said. When Zhuang Jin, together with Murong Feng and others, attacked Ye Shi, Mu Chen had made up his mind to take several people's lives.
Shi Jingtian knew too much. Although the Fate Clan also knew a lot, it would be safer if one less person knew. Besides, Shi Jingtian was too smart...
Shi Jingtian's expression remained unchanged as he said, "What if I voluntarily give up the Spirit Tower and tell you about the Fate Clan?"
Mu Chen looked at Shi Jingtian, raised his eyebrows with interest, and said, "Do you trust me?"
"Of course I don't trust him, and Mr. Mu doesn't trust me either. However, with the contract, Mr. Mu should be able to trust me." Shi Jingtian said calmly.
Mu Chen looked at Shi Jingtian indifferently. Shi Jingtian smiled calmly and said calmly: "Mr. Mu, don't worry. I believe that what I know is definitely more valuable than my life."
Ye Shi tugged at Muchen's sleeve and said, "It's worth it."
Mu Chen stared at Shi Jingtian for a long time, smiled and said, "You have convinced me, deal." It was not unfair for Jiang Feng to lose since he had such an opponent!
Shi Jingtian smiled and said, "Then let's sign the contract."
Mu Chen said, "Okay."
Shi Jingtian took out the contract book from the space ring, and the two signed an agreement. Mu Chen would not attack Shi Jingtian, and Shi Jingtian told him everything about the Ming Clan.
After signing the contract, both of them put it away.
"The Ming Clan is an ancient clan of gods. This race once produced a god." Shi Jingtian said.
"God? So powerful?" Ye Shi said in surprise.
Shi Jingtian sighed softly and said, "Those are all things from ancient times. No gods have appeared in the past hundreds of thousands of years. Rumor has it that the Five Spirit Pagodas were left behind by the last divine master of this time. If you can obtain the five pagodas in Zhongzhou, you may become a god."
Ye Shi: “…”
Mu Chen: “…” So, the Fate Clan went through so much trouble and set so many traps just to create a god?
Ye Shi hesitated for a moment and said, "What is the current strength of those who inherited the Spirit Pagoda two hundred years ago in the Fate Clan?"
"It's unfathomable. After all, we are not members of the Fate Clan, and the Fate Clan will not really tell us such confidential matters. However, I know that those five people are all Martial Lords, and they should all be in the late stage of Martial Lord. As for the magic, except for the formation master, everyone else should have reached the late stage of level eight." Shi Jingtian said.
"Except for that formation master?" Ye Shi asked.
Shi Jingtian nodded and said, "Yes, the formation master of the Ming family seems to be only at the middle eighth level of formation technique. The formation inheritance of the Ming family is not perfect."
Mu Chen narrowed his eyes and said, "The formation is the weakest."
If the original trajectory had been followed, would Bai Chenxing have fully supported Zhuang Yu, and would the person from the Fate Clan have reached the late eighth level through Bai Chenxing's formation technique? Ye Shi's blood could also open the Bai family formation book. Would that formation book also fall into the hands of the Fate Clan?
Shi Jingtian looked at Mu Chen and said, "Mr. Mu, do you know something?"
Mu Chen shook his head and said, "Nothing."
Shi Jingtian smiled. The Fate Clan was good at taking away people's luck, while the Spirit Clan was good at changing fate. The Fate Clan and the Spirit Clan were naturally hostile to each other. The Fate Clan sent Zhuang Yu to the outer realm, which must have been the intention of the Five Spirit Tower. However, an accident happened along the way, and they failed to get the Five Spirit Tower.
Shi Jingtian looked at Muchen. Zhuang Yu didn't get the Five Spirit Tower, but Muchen did. Ye Shi's mother and father belonged to the spirit race. There must be some connection between them.
"What else do you know?" Ye Shi asked.
"There should be more than one Martial Saint in the Fate Clan." Shi Jingtian said.
Mu Chen couldn't help but change color, and Ye Shi's face was also a little stiff. It was rumored that a Martial Saint-level existence had the ability to reach heaven and earth. Mu Chen's strength might be enough to deal with a Martial Lord, but it would be a bit difficult to deal with a Martial Saint.
Ye Shi grabbed Mu Chen's arm anxiously and said, "Mu Chen, what should we do?"
"I guessed it a long time ago." Mu Chen sighed lightly.
When Shi Jingtian heard Mu Chen's words, his face was stunned.
Ye Shi looked at Mu Chen in surprise and said, "Mu Chen, you..."
Mu Chen smiled and said, "Actually, there's nothing strange about it. Above Martial Honored is Martial Saint, and above Martial Saint is Martial God. One must always take one step at a time. If the Fate Clan doesn't even have a Martial Saint, how can they talk about stabilizing Martial Gods?"
Shi Jingtian was stunned for a moment, "Mr. Mu, your mind is indeed clear."
Mu Chen gave a bitter smile. What did he know? After he got out, his road was really not easy to walk! He could only take one step at a time and see what happened next.
"If the Fate Clan's array formation inheritance is incomplete, and the Fate Clan member's array formation technique is only at the middle eighth level, then the Fate Clan's targeting of the Bai family might not be a coincidence at all.
Ye Shi reached out and held Muchen's hand. Muchen turned around and smiled faintly at Ye Shi.
What Shi Jingtian knew was just the tip of the iceberg, but it was enough to warn Mu Chen. Shi Jingtian took the initiative to release the spirit tower. Mu Chen took away the spirit tower from Shi Jingtian and left.
Shi Jingtian looked at Mu Chen's back, his heart in turmoil.
Although Shi Jingtian always felt that the spirit tower on his body was a death warrant, he still felt reluctant to give it up voluntarily when it was taken away by someone.
Shi Jingtian sighed lightly. In fact, the Fate Clan might have discovered that there was something wrong with his emotions. If Zhuang Yu had succeeded, he could have been replaced. Maybe he had already been dealt with by the Fate Clan. Unfortunately, something went wrong with Zhuang Yu, and he failed.
Shi Jingtian looked at Mu Chen's back and smiled faintly. The Fate Clan was not so easy to deal with. He wondered if Mu Chen would die young.
…………
Outside the secret realm, there is silence.
Wu Feng frowned. Ye Shi and Muchen should have gone to find Shi Jingtian. He didn't know whether they killed Shi Jingtian or not.
The place where Shi Jingtian was hiding was a place in the secret realm that was isolated from detection. Wu Feng was curious and was scratching his head, but he had no idea what to do.
After a long time, everyone saw Ye Shi coming out.
Not long after, Shi Jingtian also came out.
Wu Feng frowned and said, "He's not dead." For a moment, Wu Feng couldn't tell whether he was disappointed or relieved.
Bai Chenxing narrowed his eyes, feeling a little strange in his heart. Could it be that Mu Chen really let Shi Jingtian go? It doesn't make sense!
"I didn't expect that Shi Jingtian would give up the spirit tower on his own initiative. It's unbelievable." Ye Shi muttered.
Wu Feng saw Ye Shi's mouth shape and suddenly understood. No wonder, no wonder...
Mu Chen smiled and said, "Although he gave up the Spirit Pagoda, he saved his life after all. Of the five people including Murong Feng, only he survived."
Ye Shi nodded and said, "That's true."
…………
A crystal clear spirit tower spun above Muchen's head and said, "Master Tower Master, this tower is becoming more and more handsome."
Mu Chen nodded and said, "I see."
The tower spirit blinked its yin-yang fish eyes and said, "Master Tower Master, you should treat me well. I am the most useful to you. You should take good care of me. What's the point of keeping those trash?" After the tower spirit finished speaking, it looked at Ye Shi meaningfully.
Ye Shi keenly felt that Shu Ling's face was distorted.
Mu Chen smiled and said, "Yes, I will take good care of you. I am counting on you to defeat the Martial Saint."
The tower spirit's face twisted, "Master Tower Master, you think too highly of me. You can just use me to smash the Martial Lord, why the Martial Saint? If you break it, where will you find a magic weapon as powerful as mine?"
Mu Chen said coldly: "Useless thing, no ambition."
Tower Spirit: “…”
Ye Shi held Mu Chen's hand and said, "No matter what happens, I will be with you." Even if he meets a Martial Saint.
Mu Chen smiled warmly and said, "I know..." Of course I know that no matter what happens, you will always be with me. That's why I'm worried.
Mu Chen shook his head and said, "Let's go. The matter of the original array pattern has not been resolved yet."
Ye Shi nodded and said, "Okay!"
"Are you about to break through to the five-star martial arts master?" Mu Chen asked.
Ye Shi nodded and said, "Yes!" He had to work harder, otherwise if Mu Chen was in danger, he would not be able to help.
Mu Chen smiled and said, "Don't put too much pressure on yourself. Just let things take their course."
Ye Shi nodded and said, "I understand."
