Chapter 1139 Should I Get Rid of Him?
The next few days passed peacefully, until three days later—
Mu Ze came over again, breathless. Before he could speak, Luo Li said helplessly, "Actually, you could just send me a voice message."
He raised his head and chuckled, "Isn't this just a little ritual for you?"
Luo Li laughed and shook her head, "So, it's a letter from Wanjian Mountain?"
"That's right!" Mu Ze said, "Chen Fuzhou reported that there has indeed been some unusual movement in a barren hill in the northern part of Wanjian Mountain. However, the movement is very small now, and it is not certain whether it is the Great Desolate Relics."
Luo Li's expression became serious. "Tell Shen Fuzhou to keep a close watch and inform me immediately if there is any accurate information."
She felt vaguely uneasy. If the Great Wilderness Ruins were really about to be opened, the Demon God Temple would definitely send people there. The appearance of Mo Xuan and the news he brought always made her feel that there was a huge conspiracy behind it.
But if it really is the Great Wilderness Ruins, then she really must go there.
Mu Ze nodded and was about to leave when Lan Xiaoxiao rushed over, "Ali! Oh no! Teacher Shi Heng and Mo Xuan are arguing!"
Luo Li and Mu Ze looked at each other and immediately ran towards the meeting room.
From a distance, Shi Heng's angry voice could be heard: "Mo Xuan, what's wrong with you! These clues you mentioned don't stand up to scrutiny at all! You must give us a reasonable explanation today!"
Luo Li pushed open the door and saw Shi Heng's face was ashen, he was pacing back and forth with his hands behind his back.
Mo Xuan, however, remained composed, sitting aside and sipping his tea leisurely.
Seeing Luo Li come in, he put down his teacup and bowed slightly: "My dear Luo Li, you've come just in time. Shi Heng seems to have some misunderstandings about me."
Shi Heng turned to look at Luo Li, his tone hurried, "Xiao Li, you're just in time. Today, I asked him for more details about the hidden master and your parents, but he was hesitant and incoherent. He was clearly lying!"
Luo Li looked at Mo Xuan with sharp eyes, "Senior Mo Xuan, is what Teacher Shi Heng said true?"
Mo Xuan spread his hands and said, "I'm not lying. It's been so long that I can't remember the details clearly."
Luo Li curled her lips, "In that case, I won't ask any further questions. News has come from Wanjian Mountain that there are indeed unusual movements within their sphere of influence. Senior Mo Xuan, please stay in Buli City for a few more days."
Mo Xuan's eyes flickered slightly, "It's my honor."
Luo Li turned around and said, "Master, Ah Ming, let's go. Don't disturb Senior Mo Xuan's rest."
After walking out of Mo Xuan's yard, Shi Heng frowned slightly and said, "Xiao Li, why did you just..."
Luo Li raised her hand and cast a soundproof barrier, a cold light flashing in her eyes, "Master, the more he tries to hide it, the more it proves that there's something fishy going on. Rather than alerting the enemy, it's better to take advantage of their situation."
Shi Heng narrowed his eyes, "Ari means..."
"Since he's offered himself to us, why don't we take advantage of it?" Luo Li said with a smile, "There are indeed ruins about to be unearthed within the Wanjian Mountain area. Whether the information about the ruins is true or not will be known in a few days. If it is true, then he must know other things about the ruins. It won't be too late for us to interrogate him then."
"Okay—"
Seven days passed in a flash, and at noon that day, Wan Jianshan received another letter.
And without Chen Fuzhou telling them, everyone looked at the golden sky and knew that a huge relic had appeared in the world.
All the major forces have assembled a team and rushed to Wanjian Mountain.
Mu Ze frowned slightly, "Ali, it seems that Mo Xuan did not lie, it is indeed the Great Desolate Ruins."
Luo Li stared at the golden glow in the sky, her eyes reflecting the flowing light, but revealing a hint of coldness. "No, it's precisely because he's right that it's even more suspicious. After all, even Wanjian Mountain was only confirmed to be a Great Desolate Ruins after a natural phenomenon occurred."
Her fingertips gently stroked the jade pendant on her waist, and suddenly turned around, "Mu Ze, send a message to Shen Fuzhou, and ask him to spread the news - say that the core of the Great Desolate Ruins contains the inheritance of the power of chaos."
Lan Xiaoxiao gasped, "Isn't this just using all the major families as pawns?"
"We want them to fight tooth and nail for it. Besides, we won't betray our allies," Shi Heng suddenly laughed. "If Mo Xuan is really related to the Demon God Temple, the thing we're most afraid of right now is him trying to take advantage of the situation."
On the side, Jin gestured, "Master, where is Mo Xuan? Should we deal with him?"
"Don't touch him," Luo Li curled her lips, "In a few days, we'll have him go to Wanjian Mountain with us. It would be a pity to kill him now."
A cold light flashed in Luo Li's eyes, and she tapped the table with her fingertips. "But, we can't let him get too comfortable."
She turned to look at Jin, "Go tell Mo Xuan that we're leaving for Wanjian Mountain the day after tomorrow, and ask him to be prepared."
Jin took the order and left. Lan Xiaoxiao came over and whispered, "Ali, how are you going to deal with him?"
Luo Li's lips curled slightly, "Since he wants to lead us to the Great Wilderness Ruins so much, then let him do as he wishes. But..."
A cold light flashed in her eyes, "We have to take good care of him along the way."
That night, undercurrents surged in the city.
Luo Li stood on the city wall, looking at the golden sky in the distance.
Shi Heng appeared beside her silently, "Is everything arranged?"
"Yes," Luo Li nodded, "Shen Fuzhou has already spread the news, and all the major forces are ready to take action. Mo Xuan has also sent people to keep an eye on it. As expected, he secretly sent out a message tonight."
Shi Heng frowned, "It seems that he is indeed from the Demon God Temple."
Luo Li sneered, "Not only that, I suspect he might be here for the power of chaos."
As they were talking, Mu Ze hurried over and said, "Ari, I just received news that people from the Demon God Temple have appeared near the barren mountains of Wanjian Mountain!"
Luo Li's eyes narrowed, "As expected."
She said, "Get ready. The day after tomorrow, Xiaoxiao, Brother Wanbai, and Ah Ming will go with me to Wanjian Mountain. The rest of you will stay in Buli City."
He would not question Luo Li's decision. "Okay, be careful."
Shi Heng pondered for a moment, then added, "However, now that the Demon God Temple has appeared, this journey will be extremely dangerous. Should we bring more people with us?"
Luo Li shook her head, a hint of determination flashing in her eyes. "Too many people would easily alert the enemy. Besides, we are not here to confront the Demon God Temple head-on, but to see the Great Wilderness Ruins. I'm afraid the Demon God Temple will not reveal its identity from the beginning."
She looked off into the distance, her voice low, "Besides, if Mo Xuan is truly from the Demon God Temple, then there must be a bigger conspiracy behind him. We must find out what they want."
The next morning, the city was bustling with activity.
Luo Li was sending a message to Feng Wuhen, Xie Shiyuan and others, informing them about the Great Wilderness ruins.
At this moment, Mo Xuan walked over slowly, still looking calm and composed. "My dear Luo Li, it seems you are ready."
