Chapter 179
Ye Shi looked at the image on the wall and looked towards Muchen with a little uneasiness. "Muchen, they said they want to ask for Old Man Mu."
Mu Chen crossed his arms, his eyes indifferent, "That old man Mu is a sixth-level formation master. I heard that his formation skills are very powerful."
His strength seemed quite good. He killed Lin Moyuan, which seemed to have angered these people! If he had known earlier, he should have killed someone else.
A hint of worry flashed across Ye Shi's eyes, followed by a hint of excitement.
"A sixth-level formation master. I haven't seen a sixth-level formation master yet." Ye Shi said confidently.
A helpless smile appeared on Mu Chen's lips. "This old man Mu doesn't sound as easy to mess with as Lin Moyuan."
Ye Shi puffed out his cheeks and asked, "What should we do then?"
"When the enemy comes, we will fight him; when the water comes, we will block it with earth. Let's wait and see. It will probably take more than half a month for Lou Qing to come and go. This half month should be enough for us to break through to the king level." Mu Chen said lightly.
Ye Shi was stunned for a moment, then asked in surprise, "Are you going to break through and become a Martial King?"
Mu Chen nodded and said, "There is a sign."
Ye Shi said happily: "That's great, congratulations."
Mu Chen smiled disapprovingly and said, "I think you're almost there too!"
Ye Shi's aptitude is better than his, but Ye Shi spent a large part of his time practicing the Hundred Tempering Body Techniques, so his practice progress was delayed a lot.
Before, Ye Shi collected all the blood of the king-level monsters killed by Xiong Wei and hid it in the space ring. The same was done for the spirit-level monsters they killed.
In the inner hall, when Ye Shi had nothing to do, he would take a bath in beast blood. If it weren't for the fact that several of Ye Shi's space rings were filled with monster blood, Ye Shi would have been "out of food" long ago.
With sufficient resources and plenty of time, Ye Shi's Hundred Exercises Physical Training Technique has made amazing progress. He has already broken through to the Jade Bi stage and is about to enter the Gold Bi stage.
Ye Shi nodded and said, "Yes, I have also sensed a little bit of the king-level barrier, but it's not very clear yet."
"Take a Jin Wang Dan and everything will become clear. Just relying on absorbing Yuan Shi is too slow to achieve a breakthrough."
"But, we haven't bought this kind of medicine before," Ye Shi said hesitantly. A little over a year ago, he was only a five-star martial spirit, and advancing to the king level was still a long way off for him.
"Indeed, there aren't any. But it doesn't matter. Just refine a few." Mu Chen said indifferently.
Ye Shi was stunned for a moment, then said with a look of joy, "Yes! I almost forgot that you are already a level five alchemist."
…………
Tianxin City.
During the year that Muchen and Ye Shi disappeared, Xiong Wei had been searching for them. He even went to the forbidden area several times to look for them, but unfortunately, he returned empty-handed every time.
A year had passed since Muchen and Ye Shi disappeared, and the news of their deaths spread more and more widely in the Holy Star Academy. Even many people in the Holy Star had tacitly accepted the news that they had "died young".
As soon as Ji Feiyan returned to Tianxin City, a message was immediately delivered to her.
"There's news about Lou Qing." Ji Feiyan said to Xiong Wei.
Xiong Wei was stunned for a moment, then said urgently, "Where is he? I have to go find him and ask for him back."
Ji Feiyan looked at Xiong Wei and said hesitantly, "We are a step too late. They have already left."
Xiong Wei's face suddenly turned very gray, "Gone?"
Ji Feiyan nodded and said, "Yes! Lou Qing came back to find Mu He and Qiu Feng and then left again."
She instructed the people in Tianxin City to keep a close eye on Lou Qing once she showed up. However, Lou Qing was an emperor-level master, and the people she left in Tianxin City were too weak. How could they keep a close eye on her?
"Did Lou Qing come back alone? Or..." Xiong Wei paused and asked nervously.
Ji Feiyan pursed his lips, hesitated for a moment, and then told the truth: "He came back alone."
Xiong Wei's expression suddenly turned extremely ugly. "He came back alone. So, could Mu Chen and Ye Shi have already..."
Ji Feiyan looked at Xiong Wei's expression and immediately said, "Don't let your imagination run wild. Lou Qing isn't alone. He has Lin Moyuan, Lu Xingfeng, Gu Miaoyu and others with him. He must have entrusted Muchen and Ye Shi to those people's care."
Xiong Wei secretly breathed a sigh of relief when he heard Ji Feiyan's words, "You have a point."
Ji Feiyan grabbed Xiong Wei's hand and sighed helplessly. In just one year, Xiong Wei had lost more than 60 kilograms, losing weight even faster than when he was chasing him.
Xiong Wei sighed softly and said, "Ye Shi, this brat, has been spoiled by Muchen. I hope he won't be so outspoken and anger those old bastards!"
"Ye Shi, you should know your limits, right?" Ji Feiyan said hesitantly.
…………
"Lou Qing, why haven't you come back yet after being gone for so long?" Gu Miaoyu said impatiently.
"It will take some time to go back and forth, so be patient." Ning Huai said lightly.
"Those two little brats have been much more well-behaved recently!" Gu Miaoyu sneered.
When Lin Moyuan just died, Ye Shi would often come out and say strange things, such as: "Whose turn is it to work today? Why is there no one here?", "Smash it! Why don't you smash the magic circle? Are you scared? And that old man Lin died tragically.", "Are you all on strike? And we are all old and need a break."
Recently, Ye Shi has been hiding and has not been seen.
"These two little bastards seem to be planning something recently." Lu Xingfeng said.
Gu Miaoyu asked in confusion: "What can they prepare?"
"Maybe he is planning how to advance to the Martial King." Lu Xingfeng said with a dark face.
Gu Miaoyu was stunned for a moment and said, "No way, how old are those two little brats?" Thinking back, she was stuck in the Nine-Star Martial Spirit Realm for five whole years!
"Without the King-level Pill, even if they both have good talents, it will be difficult for them to advance to the King level." Ning Huai said with a little disapproval.
"How do you know that they don't have the Jinwang Pill?" Lu Xingfeng asked with a cold smile.
"The Jinwang Pill is a level five pill, I didn't see them buy it!" Gu Miaoyu said.
Lu Xingfeng said disapprovingly: "Why do you need to buy it? Have you forgotten that Mu Chen is also an alchemist..."
"Although Mu Chen is an alchemist, he is only a fourth-level alchemist!" Gu Miaoyu said with a cold face.
"That was a year ago. Mu Chen was already a fifth-level formation master a year ago. Who knows what level his alchemy skills are now?" Lu Xingfeng said with a gloomy face. Mu Chen's talent made people fear him.
"If these two bastards advance to the king level, we'll be in trouble." Ning Huai said with a toothache.
Gu Miaoyu said disapprovingly: "Not really, just king level."
Ning Huai gave a bitter smile and said, "It's nothing for them to simply advance to the King level. I'm just worried that as their strength increases, their formation skills will also improve."
Hearing Ning Huai's words, Gu Miaoyu's face suddenly turned gloomy. Mu Chen and Ye Shi were both at the Martial Spirit level, and they were able to drive the formation and kill Lin Moyuan. If their strength was promoted to Martial King, they would be even more difficult to deal with.
"These two damn little bastards." Gu Miaoyu smashed the table next to her with a palm.
…………
The alchemy room in the inner hall.
"Is this the Jin Wang Pill?" Ye Shi approached the pill furnace and looked inside.
"Yes!" Mu Chen said.
Ye Shi said excitedly, "It smells so good!" Just by smelling the scent of the elixir, he felt that the barrier that imprisoned him seemed to be shattered.
Mu Chen smiled and said, "I underestimated the difficulty of refining the Jinwang Pill. Fortunately, there are enough spiritual herbs, otherwise, I would have wasted two batches of pills in a row. What a pity!" This batch of pills produced six pills, which should be enough for him and Ye Shi to use.
Ye Shi looked at Mu Chen and said nonchalantly, "It's good that you can refine it." It's a waste of spiritual herbs, and he can just look for them later.
Mu Chen smiled and said, "That's true."
Ye Shi rubbed his hands and said, "I feel like I've had signs of advancement these days."
"Then you advance first, and I will protect you." Mu Chen said lightly.
Ye Shi nodded and said, "Okay."
…………
When Lou Qing brought Mu He and Qiu Feng back to the secret realm, they happened to catch up with the end of Mu Chen's promotion.
Inside the inner hall, the light is brilliant and the spiritual energy is soaring into the sky, creating a spectacular scene.
"What's going on?" Lou Qing asked as he looked at the strange scene in the inner hall.
Gu Miaoyu said coldly, "What else could it be? Mu Chen is advancing. You came back a little late. If you had come back two days earlier, you could have seen Ye Shi advance."
Gu Miaoyu gritted her teeth and watched the two guys inside advance to the king level, but she could do nothing. Gu Miaoyu was so worried about it these past two days that she almost vomited blood.
Qiu Feng narrowed his eyes and said, "Mu Chen? Advancing? What a genius! He's reached the Martial King level so quickly. No wonder Xiong Wei risked his life repeatedly to find these two people, going deep into the forbidden land to search for them."
Gu Miaoyu looked at Lou Qing with some confusion, asking with her eyes why they went to invite Mu He and invited another Qiu Feng. Mu He was not easy to deal with, and Qiu Feng was not easy to deal with either.
Lou Qing smiled helplessly. He didn't want to invite Qiu Feng over. He was the one who invited Mu He, but Qiu Feng came here on his own.
The noise he made before was so loud that many people guessed that he had found the secret realm, but was trapped by a formation and could not enter.
As soon as he returned to Tianxin City, he was targeted by many people. He got rid of most of them, but Qiu Feng was too powerful and he couldn't get rid of him.
Qiu Feng volunteered and begged to help, so Lou Qing had no choice but to recruit him.
Qiu Feng looked at Gu Miaoyu and the others, a hint of suspicion flashing in his eyes, "Where's Fellow Daoist Lin? I heard that Brother Lou also invited Fellow Daoist Lin!"
"He's dead." Gu Miaoyu frowned.
A hint of surprise flashed across Qiu Feng's face. Lin Moyuan was a Martial Emperor after all. Although he had only been promoted to the Martial Emperor for a short time and was not outstanding among the Emperor-level masters, he should not be allowed to die just like that.
"How did he die?" Qiu Feng couldn't help but ask.
Lou Qing only told him that the two little ghosts, Mu Chen and Ye Shi, were lucky enough to activate the teleportation array and hide in a seventh-level formation. They couldn't break the formation and didn't know that Mu Chen and Ye Shi had plotted to kill Lin Moyuan.
"Those two little devils tampered with the formation, and Fellow Daoist Lin accidentally fell into their trap." Ning Huai said lightly.
Qiu Feng was stunned for a moment, and said in disbelief: "Friend Lin is at least a fifth-level formation master! He actually capsized in the ditch and was killed by someone's formation." That guy must have died with regrets.
"Fellow Daoist Lin, you are too careless." Gu Miaoyu said lightly.
Mu He glanced inside the formation and saw that Mu Chen's promotion had come to an end. The halo began to shrink and all the strange phenomena began to subside.
