Mu Lingjiu smiled. "You should have guessed that person was definitely not Mingkong. When has Mingkong's personality ever been like this?"
After Mingkong became emperor, he would definitely not organize so many people to meet. Almost all the major forces in Jiuzhou have met.
Sheng Mingyue pondered, "It's not ruled out that he became more flamboyant after becoming emperor. Many people are completely different before and after becoming emperor. The servility and indifference before might all be a disguise."
"Then, which true Spiritual Emperor do you think needs to absorb essence to stabilize himself after a breakthrough?" Mu Lingjiu asked.
"What?" Sheng Mingyue was puzzled. "Absorb what essence?"
He never thought that Mingkong could absorb essence. This matter should not be underestimated.
"Are you sure? Absorbing essence is a perverse way. Besides, you have just become a Spiritual Emperor. Your body is full of spiritual energy and you don't need to absorb essence at all."
"The premise for this to happen is that the person is the real Mingkong." Mu Lingjiu said.
"How could the Emperor Ling lie?" Sheng Mingyue was full of disbelief. "Don't lie to me."
"It is impossible for the Spiritual Emperor to lie, but what about his spiritual consciousness?" Mu Lingjiu asked.
Sheng Mingyue's eyes moved, "You mean taking over someone else's body? That's even more ridiculous. I've never seen a Spiritual Emperor being possessed by someone else. He's the strongest person in the world, how could he be possessed by someone else?"
Mu Lingjiu nodded, "I've seen the secret method before. Some people have strong enough consciousness and it's possible to successfully take over another person's body."
"Really?" Sheng Mingyue shook her head. "That's Emperor Ling! How could he be possessed so easily? This is unbelievable. I think there's something wrong."
"You can choose not to believe it." Mu Lingjiu did not force it, but when the essence of your Sheng family's people is drained, don't blame me for not telling you.
After saying that, Mu Lingjiu turned around and left.
Sheng Mingyue was also panicked and hurriedly called out to Mu Lingjiu.
"Wait a minute, tell me in detail. If that person isn't Mingkong, then who is he?"
"The Immortal Saint of the Xuanxian Sect." Mu Lingjiu said.
Sheng Mingyue blurted out, "Isn't that your current master?"
"You know?" Mu Lingjiu glanced at Sheng Mingyue.
Sheng Mingyue immediately avoided Mu Lingjiu's gaze. She had specifically asked about Mu Lingjiu, so she naturally knew.
Just saying it out loud doesn't feel right.
"I care about everything in the world," Sheng Mingyue said without blushing.
Mu Lingjiu didn't say much, only saying, "Now if we unite and cover each other's retreat, it will benefit all of us. What do you think?"
Sheng Mingyue nodded, admitting that what Mu Lingjiu said made sense.
"I can't let the Sheng family withdraw just based on your words. I need to go and confirm it."
She couldn't just listen to Mu Lingjiu's one-sided words.
"I saw him last time, but I couldn't tell whether he was real or not." Sheng Mingyue talked about their last meeting.
Mu Lingjiu was helpless. "The Red Sea Army has suffered a lot of losses. If you don't believe me, just wait over there. I'm going to the next one."
Since Sheng Mingyue was difficult to cooperate with, Mu Lingjiu went to find other people to cooperate with.
After seeing Mu Lingjiu leave, Sheng Mingyue planned to go and inquire about the recent movements of Emperor Zhaixian.
Mu Lingjiu went to look for some of his former friends and families.
Most of them remained skeptical when they heard Mu Lingjiu's statement, and only the Yan family chose to believe her without hesitation.
Mu Lingjiu agreed to open the teleportation array to send the Yan family away, and the head of the Yan family agreed to help cover the departure of the remaining Red Sea troops.
Mu Lingjiu then gathered the remaining Red Sea troops and left Canghai overnight.
Mu Lifeng also brought his own army with him.
It was not until the evening that Cui Yuanfeng found Mu Lingjiu.
"Empress, we were too slow to act. We didn't have time to leave and were blocked by the Immortal Emperor. Chen Lin used the formation pattern to hold him back. We escaped, but she didn't. She died."
Upon hearing the news of Chen Lin's death, Mu Lingjiu felt a chill in his heart.
If there was any respect left for the Immortal Saint before, it is now completely gone.
Chen Lin has been her friend for many years. They have worked together to make the entire Jiuzhou higher and have built so many teleportation arrays together.
But now she died so lightly, without her even seeing her.
The pain of losing a close friend and comrade-in-arms many years ago suddenly flooded my heart, and I felt extremely uncomfortable.
Mu Lingjiu just felt confused and dazed.
Yan Nanyun, the head of the Yan family, asked, "What's going on?"
Mu Lingjiu shook her head. "Nothing. I'll go find Cui Yuanfeng and the others first."
"Let me go with you." Yan Nanyun immediately followed.
Soon Mu Lingjiu found Cui Yuanfeng and others who were hiding near the formation pattern in the deep mountains. Each of them had injuries, more or less.
This kind of wound is different from the usual sword wounds. It is the shriveled skin left after the essence is absorbed, and the mark left after the essence is absorbed will never heal.
They had no way to activate the formation and could only hide nearby.
The Immortal-Picking Saint did not chase them, so he must have gone to cause trouble somewhere else.
When Mu Lingjiu saw them, he didn't say a word, but directly activated the teleportation array.
The teleportation array opened, and Cui Yuanfeng and others walked into the teleportation array without saying a word and teleported away.
Everyone was in a heavy mood at the moment. Many comrades had died, and their cultivation was low, so they had no way to compete with that man.
After Mu Lingjiu sent them away, he went back with the Yan family members to see them off.
Immediately afterwards, Mu Lingjiu secretly hid in the Mu family's old house, waiting for the changes outside.
Bazhua advised, "Master, we should leave quickly. I'm afraid that the Immortal-Picking Saint won't let you go so easily. He can absorb all of the Red Sea's troops, so he won't care about the relationship between master and disciple. We will get nothing out of staying here."
Luo Luo also agreed and said, "He has a high level of cultivation. Let's hide for now and go to the Void Realm first. When we come back, he should be almost done. It won't be too late to take revenge then."
Mu Lingjiu shook his head. "If that happens, I don't know how many lives will be lost. When I return, I'm afraid there won't be anyone I know left. I'll wait and see. If there's a chance, I'll destroy his body first."
Mu Lingjiu knew that the consciousness of the Immortal Picking Saint was extremely powerful, but his body was Mingkong's body, and that body itself practiced Buddhism, which was somewhat incompatible with Taoism. Once she found the flaw, it was not impossible to destroy the other party.
Seeing that Mu Lingjiu was so persistent, the two of them stopped trying to persuade her.
Seeing that Mu Lingjiu was injured so seriously this time, the little purple-gold dragon contacted his biological father, whom he did not think much of.
Dragon Ancestor was guarding near the little purple-gold dragon. When the little purple-gold dragon wanted to see him, he immediately ran over happily.
The little purple-gold dragon directly put forward the conditions.
"This time the master wants to deal with that monk. If you are willing to help the master, I will go back with you."
Long Zu agreed without hesitation, "Okay, which monk? I'll do it right away."
"It's the one who lives in the palace." The little purple-gold dragon pointed his hand, pointing to the current dojo of the Immortal Saint.
