Chapter 189
When Mu He and others returned to the outer hall, they saw that it was in a mess and the three star-grabbing formations were smashed to pieces.
Lou Qing appeared in front of several people in a disheveled state.
Seeing several people appear, Lou Qing's heart finally settled down.
"Brother Lou, how did you become like this?" Ning Huai looked at Lou Qing and couldn't help but frowned and asked.
Gu Miaoyu looked at Lou Qing and thought secretly: Something went wrong again, as expected, something went wrong again. They were clearly just two small characters, but ever since they started to oppose them, they have been frustrated everywhere, and even their lives are in danger.
If someone had told her two years ago that one day she would be pushed to this point by two Martial King brats, she would have scoffed.
Gu Miaoyu lowered her head, not letting anyone see the regret and helplessness in her eyes.
Lou Qing gritted his teeth and said, "Those two brats had an accomplice who was a Martial Emperor. He was extremely powerful, at least a six-star Martial Emperor, and possibly even a nine-star Martial Emperor. Brother Fu died in just a few moves at their hands. It was terrifying."
"You said that a powerful Martial Emperor appeared, killed Fu Gongming, and destroyed the Star-Grabbing Formation?" Mu He asked gritting his teeth.
Lou Qing nodded in shock and said, "Yes! That's it."
The pressure from the man in black really frightened Lou Qing. Lou Qing felt that if he had not escaped quickly, he would have been killed by that man.
"Impossible! Why would that person do that?" Mu He asked in confusion.
Mu He knew that there were other Martial Emperors lingering outside the outer hall. However, except for Xiong Wei, the other Martial Emperors would probably be happy to see him break through the formation and attack! After all, if the formation couldn't be broken, no one would benefit.
"I know, it's that person. I told you before, the last time I was about to catch Xiong Wei, someone blocked me and Xiong Wei ran away." Ning Huai said loudly, feeling like he had been vindicated.
Gu Miaoyu glanced at Ning Huai. It turned out that Ning Huai was not making excuses last time.
"Why didn't you make it clear earlier?" Mu He stared at Ning Huai coldly.
Ning Huai's face turned pale and blue. When he first said it, a group of people thought he was lying and mocked him. Now they think he didn't explain it clearly. Anyway, it was his fault.
"That person is really strong." Lou Qing couldn't help but say.
After confronting Muchen and Ye Shi until now, Lou Qing couldn't help but feel the urge to back down.
First it was Lin Moyuan, then Qiu Feng, Xia Chengmo, and Li Ruo, and now Fu Gongming has died. In just a few months, five Martial Emperors have died. Lou Qing never knew that going against two Martial King Ants would actually be a big deal.
If this continues, will he be in trouble? Lou Qing never knew that one day he would worry about dying at the hands of the two Martial Kings.
Why did Fu Gongming have to die? Mu He secretly gritted his teeth. Lou Qing and the others were intact, but the three fellow Taoists he invited all died in an untimely manner.
"Who is it? Who is going against me again?" Mu He said gritting his teeth.
Lu Xingfeng lowered his head, a hint of hesitation flashing in his eyes.
Ning Huai looked at Lu Xingfeng's expression and said sharply, "Brother Lu, you look very bad. Did you know something?"
Lu Xingfeng smiled palely and said, "It's just a guess."
Mu He glanced at Lu Xingfeng coldly, and with a murderous look on his face, he said, "Speak."
Lu Xingfeng glanced at Mu He and said slowly, "The Xuanfeng Empire once produced a genius named Qu Kun, also of level eight aptitude. He was already a Martial Emperor over twenty years ago. He disappeared over a decade ago. Many people said he was dead, but no one has ever seen his body."
"Qu Kun? I've heard of this guy. He's said to be a ruthless character." Gu Miaoyu muttered.
"Qu Kun, why would he care about Muchen and Ye Shi's affairs?" Ning Huai asked in confusion. Could it be that just because Muchen and Ye Shi were from the same country as him, he would protect them like this? That shouldn't be the case.
Lu Xingfeng narrowed his eyes, sighed softly, and said, "Because Ye Shi is very likely Qu Kun's grandson?"
"What?" Gu Miaoyu covered her mouth and said in disbelief.
There are strong and weak Martial Emperors. Xiong Wei is just a novice among the Martial Emperors. In fact, everyone looks down on Xiong Wei's abilities.
But Qu Kun is different! It's said that this man has extraordinary talent and is ruthless. He was notorious for his crimes over 20 years ago, and now he's back...
"Impossible." Ning Huai couldn't help but say.
He had been ambushed before, and he had someone investigate Ye Shi. He found out that Ye Shi was the son of a poor family. He had been ostracized by his aunt since he was a child, and his father didn't like him very much. His life was very difficult. How could such a person be Qu Kun's grandson?
"It's just a guess." Lu Xingfeng said.
Qu Kun had many enemies in his past, and his only son Qu Xinyang had always kept his identity secret. Few people would connect Ye Shi's mother and father with Qu Kun's son. If it were not for the purpose of tracking down the Hundred Calming Body Techniques, Lu Yao would have investigated Ye Xun carefully but would not have found any clues.
"Why didn't you say so earlier?" Mu He glared at Lu Xingfeng angrily.
Lu Xingfeng smiled awkwardly and said, "I'm not too sure about this matter. Besides, Qu Kun has been missing for more than ten years."
Ye Shi had been tortured by Ye Xun for more than ten years, and he had never shown up. Who knew that Qu Kun would appear at this time?
"What if Qu Kun really shows up? The enemy is in the dark and we are in the light, so don't take it lightly." Lou Qing said seriously.
Mu He gritted his teeth and suddenly understood the frustration of Lou Qing and others.
"Fu Gongming is dead?" Xiong Wei asked in surprise after simply treating the wound on his body.
Ji Feiyan nodded and said, "Yes! I heard that it was a good thing Lou Qing escaped quickly, otherwise, he would have died. The formation was smashed to pieces, most likely by the guy who helped you last time."
"I think so most likely." Xiong Wei said in agreement.
"Anyone who can kill Fu Gongming must be at least a seven-star Martial Emperor." Ji Feiyan said thoughtfully.
Xiong Wei rubbed his forehead and said, "Why is this guy so protective of Mu Chen and Ye Shi? It's incomprehensible!"
"Maybe he has a relationship with Muchen and Ye Shi." Ji Feiyan said.
Xiong Wei narrowed his eyes. It was really hard to imagine that he had any friendship with Muchen and Ye Shi.
Xiong Wei breathed a sigh of relief and said, "No matter what, it's always good to have someone protecting them." With such a helper, he could feel more at ease.
Ji Feiyan nodded and replied, "Yeah." Xiong Wei was courting death by himself against so many masters! Fortunately, there was a strong man helping him in the dark.
"When the opponent attacked, he captured me easily. But when I attacked, I was almost captured by the enemy. It's really embarrassing to think about it!" Xiong Wei said with some self-mockery.
Ji Feiyan looked at Xiong Wei's expression and said comfortingly, "Don't say that. If you hadn't lured Mu He and the others away, they wouldn't have succeeded so quickly."
Xiong Wei smiled bitterly and said, "Maybe."
"Four people have died on Muhe's side." Ji Feiyan said coldly.
Xiong Wei smiled. Four were dead, and there were five left. If he chopped off a few more, it would be almost done.
"Who on earth broke the formation?"
"Who knows? He even killed Fu Gongming."
"Could it be Xiong Wei?"
"How could it be Xiong Wei? Xiong Wei has been chased to a pulp by Muzhe Senior and the others. How could he have such ability?"
"Who knows? Maybe it's some hidden and powerful person?"
"Why would a powerful person in seclusion help Xiong Wei?"
“Who knows?”
Ye Shi walked around outside and returned to the inner hall. The expression on his face was a mixture of joy and worry.
"Are you back?" Mu Chen asked Ye Shi.
Ye Shi nodded, smiled, and said, "Yeah! Now those people outside are afraid of me. They look at me like a flood or a beast. Before, when they looked at me, they thought I was a mouse and they were the cats."
Mu Chen smiled and said, "Really? Then you are really impressive."
"That's right! But I found some bad news." Ye Shi said after hesitating for a moment.
"What?" Mu Chen asked.
"There seems to be something wrong with the formation." Ye Shi frowned and looked at Mu Chen with some uneasiness.
"What do you mean?" Mu Chen suddenly raised his eyes and looked at Ye Shi and asked.
Ye Shi felt uneasy at Mu Chen's serious look. "When I looked at it with my Spiritual Pattern Eyes, it seemed like the formation had many cracks."
Mu Chen's hand trembled and touched the teacup beside him, "What did you say?"
Ye Shi shrank his neck and said, "The formation seems to have many holes, but from what we can see now, the problem shouldn't be too big."
Mu Chen took a deep breath and said, "I understand. It's probably because the last time I activated the killing array, it caused damage to the formation."
Ye Shi pursed his lips and said, "Actually, as long as Mu He doesn't realize it, it's okay."
Mu Chen smiled bitterly and said, "The old man's eyes are very sharp. How could he not realize it? I'm afraid we have to prepare to leave in advance."
Ye Shi nodded and said, "Okay."
Ever since the news of Wuzong's ruins came out and the secret realm became uneasy, Lu Yao and Zhuang Yu were sent out by Lu Xingfeng and arranged to live in a villa in Tianxin City.
"Lu Yao, you're back?" Zhuang Yu stood up immediately when he saw Lu Yao come in.
Lu Yao nodded and said, "Yes!"
"How's the situation with your grandfather?" Zhuang Yu asked anxiously.
Lu Yao's face fell. The news coming back from the secret realm was simply unbelievable.
First, Muchen and Ye Shi launched a formation attack and killed three Martial Emperors. Then, the two received help from a mysterious strong man. The three star-grabbing formations set up by Mu He were destroyed overnight, and Fu Gongming also died a violent death.
Lu Yao originally thought that since Mu He had taken action, it wouldn't be long before Mu Chen and Ye Shi would be finished. However, the two of them became more and more excited, and they were still full of energy after such a long time.
"Ayao." A faint voice called out.
When Lu Yao saw the person coming, he was immediately surprised, "Master, why are you here?"
Kong Sha glanced at the two of them calmly and said, "I'm here to pick you up."
"Master, do you know about the secret realm?" Lu Yao asked.
Kong Sha nodded and said, "I know, but there are too many people watching over there, so I won't join in the fun."
"Master, are you just giving up like that?" Lu Yao frowned.
Kong Sha smiled nonchalantly and said, "Ayao, you should have a broader vision. There are many adventures in the world. Don't be too obsessed."
When Lu Yao heard Kong Sha's words, he was stunned for a moment.
"Thank you, Master. I am possessed by a demon." Lu Yao immediately bowed.
