His hand had already touched the portrait in his arms.
If anything seemed amiss, he would quickly take action, which gave him a sense of security.
Ma Tong smiled.
Yu Guang noticed Zhou Mu's subtle movements.
He said, "No need to be so cautious. If I wanted to kill you, you would have died just now. Why would I wait until now?"
There's some truth to that.
However, Zhou Mu did not let his guard down. "We seem to have no connection whatsoever. May I ask what your intentions were in your actions just now?"
"Let me introduce myself. My surname is Ma, and my given name is Tong. I am an elder of the Sword God Hall."
Ma Tong said.
Try your best to show your goodwill.
He especially emphasized the pronunciation of the three characters "Sword God Hall".
Then, he began to reply to Zhou Mu's words, "I had no intention of doing anything. What I did just now was a test. I saw that you are calm and composed, and have extraordinary talent. You are a martial arts prodigy that is rare in a century. Therefore, I would like to recruit you into my fold and make you my last disciple. What do you say?"
"A closed-door disciple?"
Zhou Mu, not understanding what the person in front of him wanted to do, immediately frowned.
I instinctively took a step back.
His intuition told him it wasn't that simple.
Although he had read many fantasy novels, all of these kinds of opportunities were tremendous.
For some reason, when this opportunity was presented to him, he felt a chill run down his spine.
His intuition told him that this was not a good thing.
"I feel like you're lying to a child."
Ma Tong chuckled awkwardly twice, then his expression turned serious, and he tried his best to appear as a reclusive sage.
"I am the youngest elder in the history of the Sword God Hall, and I may even become the youngest hall master in history. You won't lose out by becoming my disciple."
It felt like a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.
Zhou Mu didn't believe in such easy money.
Even if it's true, why would Ma Tong be interested in him? Is it just because he has the protagonist's halo?
Putting that aside, the saying goes, "no one gets up early without a reason," so he must be trying to gain some benefit from him.
Most importantly, he had already promised Ye Mujiu that he would no longer cause trouble for others.
Moreover, with the system by his side, he was not afraid.
Why should he live under someone else's roof? Wouldn't it be better to manage his Zhou family mansion properly?
Therefore, his refusal was straightforward and direct.
He turned around and left without even glancing at Ma Tong, treating him like air.
As Ma Tong watched Zhou Mu's retreating figure, his expression gradually turned grim.
After thinking it over, he finally made a quick dash.
He stood in front of Zhou Mu.
Zhou Mu stopped in his tracks and said helplessly, "You're supposed to be a reclusive master, can't you do something with a bit more class? Since I've already refused, go find someone else, okay? Don't hang yourself on a crooked tree."
Ma Tong tried his best to smile.
But the murderous glint in his eyes was already obvious.
"You should think carefully about the Sword God Hall's offer to recruit you. If you refuse, you should also consider whether you can bear the consequences. Moreover, even if you don't think about yourself, you should at least think about Ye Mujiu."
What do you mean?
Zhou Mu's face instantly turned cold. "Threatening me?"
Ma Tong continued, as if he hadn't heard:
"The person you almost killed before was named Gu Yun, the young master of the Four Seas Pavilion."
"He's not some nouveau riche. Compared to the Xuan Tian Sect, he's far more powerful. There are no fewer than five Saints guarding the sect. Without the Sword God Palace backing you up, you probably wouldn't even see the sun rise tomorrow."
"This is your last chance. Will you go or not?"
Zhou Mu said coldly, "I'm not going."
Ma Tong's face was extremely gloomy.
Remembering what Zhang Tianjian had told him, he couldn't care less about anything else at the moment. He quickly formed hand seals, and profound characters containing spiritual energy floated out one by one.
He suddenly lunged out.
Swish Swish Swish
Suddenly, the characters seemed to be drawn towards Zhou Mu.
A murderous aura filled the sky.
Zhou Mu's face was gloomy.
The attack gradually expanded in his eyes.
However, there was no fear on his face.
He opened his palm, and the Six-Character Armor Diagram appeared out of thin air in his hand.
He reached out and grasped the drawing, making a gesture to open it. After thinking for a moment, he paused, then looked at Ma Tong and said, "Now I'm giving you a chance. Withdraw your attack, and I'll pretend nothing happened. Otherwise, you'll bear the consequences."
Ma Tong was now filled with rage, his eyes turning bloodshot. Hearing this, he laughed loudly and said, "Hahahaha...you little brat, you've got quite the nerve. Let's see what the consequences will be."
"Killing Du San and Wang Wu gives you the confidence to challenge me. Kid, you're still too young. I'm now a half-step saint, already at the quasi-saint level. You're still too green to fight me."
