In a side hall of the Pengshan Gate and the Beidou Hall complex.
"Oh......"
Xiao Mingmu, unusually, opened the window and sat in the sunlight.
Even though he was facing the light directly, he couldn't hide the gloom on his face.
Xiao Mingmu is in a bad mood right now. Ever since he returned from Xiaoyuan Peak, he has been in a bad mood.
There is no other reason.
I was scolded by my senior brother.
I moved the tea table over, placed the tea set on it, lit the fire, and brewed a small pot of tea.
Soon, wisps of white steam rose from the spout, accompanied by a faint fragrance.
The tea is ready.
As the rising steam filled the air, Xiao Mingmu poured himself a cup of tea.
Then he raised it and took a small sip.
It tastes bitter at first, and the aftertaste is also bitter.
"Really."
Xiao Mingmu put down his tea, lowered his head, and recalled what had happened on Xiaoyuan Peak not long ago.
He muttered to himself, "My senior brother is really foolish. He even protects a disciple with weak cultivation. He's lived for so long and still can't get rid of his kind heart."
A complaint is uttered, accompanied by a light tap on the tea table.
Ripples spread across the teacup as the water subsided.
A slightly melancholy face was reflected in the yellowish-green tea.
Sudden.
"boom!"
A loud bang came from the Beidou Palace complex, and outside the window, a red light accompanied by thick smoke rushed in from not far away.
This sight suggests that something exploded.
"Um?!"
Xiao Mingmu immediately looked up, somewhat surprised.
Why would something explode in the Beidou Temple complex?
Could it be?
It's an enemy attack!
Although Xiao Mingmu didn't quite understand the specifics, seeing the powerful explosion, he slammed his hand on the table.
He said coldly, "You're really courting death!"
After saying that, he transformed into a golden light and flew out of the window, followed by Ling Feng, who was empowered by great magic.
Supernatural powers manifested, warding off evil spirits and dispelling misfortune.
A series of spiritual lights flashed out, forming a barrier that blocked the aftershocks of the explosion.
To prevent the aftershocks of the explosion from damaging the Beidou Temple complex.
While casting spells to suppress the aftershocks, Xiao Mingmu pondered the situation.
Who is attacking?
What kind of magical weapon is this explosion?
More importantly, how did this person pass through the Pengshan Gate Formation silently?
And how could they enter the Beidou Palace complex silently?
I can't figure it out, I really can't figure it out.
Ordinary cultivators could not accomplish this, and even a great cultivator at the Dao Integration Realm could not infiltrate Pengshan Sect silently.
If you're not a disciple of Pengshan and don't have a cultivator's certificate, you probably wouldn't even be able to get into the mountain gate.
The large formation outside is not just for show; it was personally set up by Wu Er.
To deceive the formation set up by the immortal...
Unless it is an immortal, or a demon saint.
Thinking of this, Xiao Mingmu frowned, reached out and made a grasping motion, and a slender blue spirit sword appeared in his hand.
I had many thoughts on my mind.
If they attack now, there must be a traitor inside!
Because, just now, Wu Er went out for a drive in his cloud boat, and right after that, someone attacked him.
This is too much of a coincidence.
Someone must be spying on us at Pengshan Gate!
After much thought, Xiao Mingmu gritted his teeth and secretly resolved to fight back.
Thinking about it won't solve the problem.
Let's go in and see who it is!
Despite the great danger involved, Xiao Mingmu still managed to pass through the barrier he had set up and plunge into the thick black smoke.
Heading towards the epicenter of the explosion.
As it flew, it shouted, "This is Pengshan Gate! Who dares to invade!"
I shouted this in the hope of figuring out the direction of the person coming from.
After all, the thick smoke was filled with restless spiritual energy, which obstructed both vision and spiritual sense, making it impossible for Xiao Mingmu to determine the direction of the approaching person.
So he could only shout again, "This is Pengshan Gate, whoever comes here, why don't you show yourself!"
"Huh? Is it for improving eyesight?"
A voice came from the thick fog. The voice was very familiar, causing Xiao Mingmu, who was moving forward, to pause.
Then he opened his eyes wide and exclaimed, "Senior Brother?!"
Xiao Mingmu recalled the voice from earlier and confirmed that it was his senior brother.
I was startled.
If Wu Er orchestrated this explosion, what was his intention?
Are they just destroying their own sect for fun?
Then Xiao Mingmu shouted again, "Senior Brother, what are you doing? Why are you trying to blow up the Beidou Palace complex? If you want to blow it up, you should tell me first, and I'll help you."
"Ah, I didn't mean to blow this up."
Wu Er replied.
Xiao Mingmu then asked, "Then what's going on here?"
Wu Er replied, "Ah, it's because your cloud boat is of very poor quality. When I was at the square of the Beidou Palace complex during the meeting... it... exploded on its own."
"It exploded on its own?"
Xiao Mingmu was stunned again.
This cloud boat is the best in the entire sect; its quality is impeccable, and it can withstand attacks from cultivators at the Dao Integration Realm.
The internal runes and formations are very stable, it's impossible for it to explode, right?
"Mingmu, don't move. Cast a spell to protect yourself. I need to clear this thick smoke."
Wu Er's voice came again, startling Xiao Mingmu.
Then the slowly floating black smoke began to move rapidly, and at the same time, a huge suction force came, causing the black smoke to surge towards one place.
If you look down from above, you can see that the black smoke is spinning rapidly and has turned into a vortex.
With each rotation of the vortex, the amount of black smoke decreases.
Faced with such a powerful suction force, Xiao Mingmu also released his spiritual power to protect himself.
