So, They Were the Protagonists All Along

Chapter 298: Kyushu Treasure·Mu Zhian (1/2)

After waiting in front of the courtyard for nearly half an hour, Mu Zhian noticed a wisp of Ye Qian's spiritual energy coming from the depths of the quiet alley behind him.

Mu Zhian reluctantly got off Wei Mengrou's lap, and then turned to look at the girl behind him.

Ye Qian noticed Mu Zhian's gaze, raised his head and glanced at the young man secretly. He recalled what Yao Meng had just said in his mind, and a trace of shame flashed in his eyes. He buried his head and walked away quickly.

"Sister Qian'er..." Mu Zhian tried to send a message to persuade her to stay.

Ye Qian paused for a moment, turned around and glanced at Mu Zhian secretly, and whispered: "Sorry, I have something to wait for. If Brother Mu has anything to do, let's talk about it next time."

After saying that, without giving Mu Zhian any chance to react, he trotted out of the garden.

What did Yao Meng talk to her about? Qian'er didn't look very angry, but she always felt that the reaction was a bit strange... Mu Zhian was a little uneasy, so he said goodbye to Wei Mengrou: "Sister Mengrou, I'm going Look at what's going on with Yao Meng... I'm a little concerned about some things."

It stands to reason that Yao Meng would not be the kind of person who would force his disciples and beat up mandarin ducks, but what exactly did she say to Qian'er... Qian'er's reaction at the moment always feels a bit strange.

After leaving the courtyard, Mu Zhian walked along a quiet path. After a while, he saw a fairy with snow-white skin in the elegant garden.

Yao Meng looked at him with a smile and said with a smile: "You really care about Qian'er's affairs."

She paused briefly and continued: "Don't worry, I won't do anything like force Qian'er to leave you...after all, she is also my disciple."

"Of course I believe what Sister Xianzi said... But what exactly did you say to her? Qian'er's expression felt a little strange when she left earlier." Mu Zhian asked without understanding.

Yao Meng glanced at Mu Zhian meaningfully and said quietly: "You will know later."

She changed the subject lightly and said: "Beizhou is no better than Dongzhou. The entire Beizhou is controlled by the Queen of the Demon Realm. Now she has annexed the essence of the first demon emperor. After refining the essence, Beizhou's strength will be far greater." It’s much, much stronger than it is now.”

"If possible, you should improve your strength as soon as possible so that you can protect yourself after refining the spirit and returning to the void in the future."

"Sister Fairy said that I will work hard to practice...but you are always in my body, and even if the Queen of the Demon Realm really refines the essence in the future, she won't be able to find me immediately, right?" Mu Zhi An asked doubtfully.

This is not like what Yao Meng would say. On the one hand, she will always hide in his natural cauldron until the cauldron is full. On the other hand, no matter how strong the Queen of the Demon Realm is, once there is any movement in Beizhou, even if Dongzhou is A piece of loose sand will also take the lead in resisting foreign enemies.

What's more, no matter how hard he tries, he won't be able to return to the void within a year.

"The matter of the Queen of the Demon Realm is one reason, and there is another reason," Yao Meng paused, raised his seductive beautiful eyes and looked at Mu Zhian, with a faint arc on his seductive red lips.

"I also want to see if your natural furnace can evolve again after you refine your spirit and return to the void."

If you are greedy for my body, you are greedy for my body. Why are you so adventurous... Mu Zhian nodded humbly: "I will practice hard and reach the realm of returning to the virtual world as soon as possible to provide enough spiritual energy for Sister Fairy..."

Yao Meng looked at Mu Zhian with a faint smile and said softly: "I'm usually very polite, but when I get to bed, I become unscrupulous."

Mu Zhian smiled and said: "That's just because Sister Fairy is so charming, so sometimes it's hard to control her desires..."

He paused and continued: "The first demon emperor chose to burn the essence in a desperate fight because of the arrival of the demon queen?"

In the end, he chose to believe Yao Meng. Since the other party said that he didn't say anything strange to Qian'er, he naturally chose to believe it.

Yao Meng nodded slightly: "You are right. I think Concubine Shang Yan probably thinks that if she continues to delay, she may have long nights and dreams... However, I am still a little surprised that she will cooperate with the Queen of the Demon Realm."

"Are demon cultivators and ordinary cultivators at odds with each other..." Mu Zhian naturally knew these things.

In Dongzhou, demon cultivators can be said to be beaten by everyone. Similarly, in the demon world, if a cultivator is discovered, it will also cause huge trouble.

And in such an environment, the most sacred Liang Yi Sect in Dongzhou, the mysterious leader in the eyes of the world, secretly cooperated with the Queen of the Demon Realm... If word spread, I'm afraid it would explode.

"Sister Sect Master..." Mu Zhian was about to say something.

Yao Meng glanced at Mu Zhian.

With a faint smile in his eyes, Mu Zhian understood immediately and changed his words: "The sect master should have cooperated with the Queen of the Demon Realm to avoid sacrificing the disciples in the sect, right?"

Yao Meng nodded with satisfaction.

The title 'sister' is enough to call her alone. The sect master is the sect master, so why call her sister.

Then, she shook her head and said: "Concubine Shang Yan is an absolutely rational person. She should know the consequences of handing over the essence of the first demon emperor to the queen of the demon world."

"Even under such circumstances, it is very strange that she still chooses to cooperate with the Queen of the Demon Realm?" Mu Zhian took over.

In his mind, he recalled the sect master with the black-robed imperial sister. That woman was extremely mysterious from beginning to end. She was the only person Mu Zhian could not see through until now... He knew that he was an important chess piece of the sect master. But what the other party did this time was indeed too strange.

Allowing the Queen of the Demon Realm to continue to grow stronger will do no good to Dongzhou no matter what she thinks.

What on earth does she want to do...?

Is it just to get rid of the already dying first-generation Demon Emperor?

Or is it to save the lives of the sect disciples as much as possible?

There are only two people in the world who can restrain the first-generation Demon Emperor. One is the Qing Emperor Yao Meng who directly suppressed the first-generation Demon Emperor in the past, and the other is the Queen of the Demon Realm.

Although the first-generation Demon Emperor has been sealed away for thousands of years, it can be said to be a terrifying existence in Kyushu in the past. The Queen of the Demon Realm was able to defeat him simply because she happened to restrain the first-generation Demon Emperor.

"When the first-generation Demon King died, there was no Najie on his hand. If my guess is correct, his Najia should still be left in the pilgrimage hall. If you have a chance, you can go and take a look."

Yao Meng suddenly said casually: "There should be a lot of good things in it."

The ring left behind by the first generation Demon King...?

Mu Zhian's eyes brightened slightly, and his heart couldn't help but feel a little hotter.

You know, that was the former leader of the demon world, and the treasures it left behind... How many treasures of heaven and earth are there?

If the natural furnace cauldron is used to refine more heavenly materials and earthly treasures, Ruoxi and the others can be sent to the Return to Void Realm as soon as possible...

Mu Zhian thought about this and suddenly felt a little absent-minded. After chatting with Yao Meng for a few words, he said goodbye to Sister Xianzi and walked towards the small garden where Linglong lived.

The Najie left behind by the first demon emperor is definitely a good thing, but now it is absolutely impossible to rashly enter the pilgrimage hall.

After all, what happened just now, the people from the Law Enforcement Hall will inevitably seal off the pilgrimage hall temporarily and will not let any disciples step inside.

Under normal circumstances, only the head elder can set foot in it.

But besides that, there is another way to enter the pilgrimage temple.

"Aaaa~"

Lin Ling was lying in front of the table, twisting a white chess piece in his hand, yawning lazily, pressing his plump and straight chest on the table, and resting his heavy weight on the table.

She was excellent in terms of figure, personality and even strength, but Nai could not eat, and her mind was a bit too simple, so even after being with her for such a long time, Mu Zhian was still embarrassed to make a move.

Of course, the most important thing is that her Tao is very special and she can detect 'malice'.

Mu Zhian naturally has no ill intentions towards Miss Lin Ling, but if he exposes his thoughts of 'gluttonous body', Lin Ling will immediately notice it, which will arouse her resentment.

Because of this, Mu Zhian never found an opportunity to get closer to her.

As he was playing chess by himself out of boredom, Lin Ling suddenly twitched his nose and raised his head to sniff.

Roast goose rice!

Her eyes lit up slightly and she looked up at the door of the room next to her.

As expected, Mu Zhian held a plate and pushed open the door. The silver-haired beauty put her slender hands on the skirt of her knees. Although she was full of expectations, she remained reserved and looked at the chessboard.

Upon seeing this, Mu Zhian apologized sincerely: "I'm sorry, a lot of things happened in the martial arts world before, and they were only resolved today."

Lin Ling ignored him.

Mu Zhian brought the plate to Lin Ling's table and said with a smile, "That's why I put in some effort tonight."

Lin Ling glanced at him, and seeing his sincere attitude, her brows relaxed, and she nodded "Aaa", seeming quite satisfied.

Seeing Lin Ling start to move his chopsticks, Mu Zhian pondered for a moment and said, "Does Sister Lin Ling know about the first generation Demon Emperor?"

Lin Ling gently tapped the table with her green fingers, and the words on it appeared: I know.

"Today the first generation Demon Emperor completely fell. Yao Meng said that the first generation Demon Emperor's ring may still be in the pilgrimage hall. Does Sister Lin Ling think it is safe for me to enter the pilgrimage hall now?" Mu Zhian asked.

Lin Ling knocked on the table again: The first generation Demon Emperor is dead, so you can rest assured.

"But the people from the Law Enforcement Hall should have sealed off the pilgrimage hall now. It may be difficult for me to set foot in it..." Mu Zhian gave a hint intentionally or unintentionally, watching the silver-haired beauty lightly open her red lips and nibbling the roast goose. meal.

Then he picked up a small piece of goose meat and stuffed it into Mu Zhian's mouth.

"Thank you, but I'm not hungry. Sister Lin Ling can just eat." Mu Zhian said with a smile.

Lin Ling nodded "Aaa" and continued to use the chopsticks.

"Sister Lin Ling, what you just said..."

Lin Ling wiped her palms with a handkerchief, glanced at Mu Zhian, and knocked on the table: You have been busy with the Immortal Ascension Conference recently, and it's so boring to be alone.

"Sorry, I will have time after the Immortal Ascension Conference is over." Mu Zhian said helplessly.

If it weren't for the sect master sister, he wouldn't need to care about the Immortal Ascension Conference right now. He might have given up on the competition before even participating.

Lin Ling pondered for a moment, and finally nodded slightly and pointed at the table: From now on, you will stay with me every day.

Mu Zhian nodded: "Definitely."

Lin Ling nodded with satisfaction, groped for a while between her plump breasts, and took out a platinum token.

Within the sect, whether they are disciples or elders, the leader and others all have corresponding tokens, and Linglong is no exception.

window._taboola = window._taboola || ; _taboola.push({ mode: 'thumbs-feed-01', container: 'taboola-below-article-feed', placement: 'Below Article Feed', target_type: 'mix' });

With her token, you can go anywhere in Liangyi Sect without any obstacles.

Mu Zhian took the token and looked at Lin Ling with her hand on her chin looking at the black and white chess on the table, and asked curiously: "Is Sister Lin Ling playing chess alone?"

Lin Ling nodded gently and pointed to the seat opposite her.

Does this mean that I should play a game with her...Mu Zhian understood it in his heart, sat down opposite Lin Ling, and then picked up the black pieces and started playing chess with Lin Ling.

Should we say that Mu Zhian is too strong or Lin Ling is too weak? In the middle of the game, Lin Ling's white pieces were surrounded by Mu Zhian.

"Aaa..."

Looking at this terrible scene in front of her, Lin Ling lost the aroma of the roast goose rice in her hand and fell into deep thought.

Then, she gently pointed behind Mu Zhian.

At the moment when Mu Zhian turned around, she quickly reached out and eliminated two of Mu Zhian's chess pieces on the chessboard with a flick of her finger.

At this time, Mu Zhian had turned his head again and looked at Lin Ling doubtfully: "Did you say there was something behind me just now?"

Lin Ling shook her head and said "Aaa" to indicate that it was nothing.

Mu Zhian was a little confused by this cute little sister Linglong. He picked up the black piece and was about to place it. As if he noticed something, he suddenly froze for a moment.

He looked at Lin Ling calmly, picked up the black piece and continued to place it to play against her.

At the end of the fight, Mu Zhian was defeated regretfully and sighed from the bottom of his heart: "Sister Lin Ling is really amazing."

"Aaa~!" Lin Ling nodded proudly, and her breasts swayed slightly because of the action of sticking out her chest.

"Sister Lin Ling is so good at chess. Who taught you?" Mu Zhian asked again.

Lin Ling pointed in the direction of Liangyi Peak.

Sister Sect Master...

But the Sect Master should not be a liar. Miss Lin Ling must have learned it by herself... Mu Zhian complained in his heart.

He then patiently waited for Lin Ling to finish her roast goose rice. After chatting with her for a while, he stood up and said goodbye.

Lin Ling nodded, and there seemed to be something unsatisfied in her eyes.

...

While Mu Zhian was seeking help from Lin Ling, Liangyi Sect had reached an unprecedented level of excitement.

This time, three great masters of Hedao came to Jiuzhou, and together with the Sect Master and the Green Emperor, they suppressed the evil things in the Pilgrimage Hall. After that, the Empress of Yuzhou decided to watch the Ascension Conference in Liangyi Sect at the invitation of the Sect Master, and even held an alchemy competition after that.

The maidservant beside Empress Luo Tan even revealed that the prize for the alchemy contest was an eighth-grade pill, the Condensing Spirit Pill!

Refining the spirit and returning to the void is the lifelong pursuit of countless cultivators, but the thunder tribulation of returning to the void is too difficult. Not to mention the thunder tribulation, few cultivators can do the process of "refining the spirit" alone.

The effect of the Condensing Spirit Pill is to assist cultivators in refining the spirit, with a success rate of more than 90%!

In other words, as long as the luck is not extremely bad, this Condensing Spirit Pill alone can create an existence in the Return to the Void Realm.

Not to mention the alchemists, even those cultivators who have never been exposed to alchemy in the past are extremely jealous.

This news also spread like crazy throughout the sect last night, attracting the attention of all cultivators.

They did not think that the news was false. After all, the maidservant probably got the instruction of the empress, so she intentionally revealed this news.

The Ascension Conference, which offered three imperial-level medicinal herbs as prizes, and the alchemy competition that followed, brought the Ascension Conference to an unprecedented height. Now, countless eyes in Jiuzhou are staring at Liangyi Sect.

At this moment, under the Sky Court Pavilion in front of the Pilgrimage Hall, the empress Luo Tan, wearing a white dress with gold thread, stepped on knee-high snow-white boots. Her pair of black silk legs outlined a perfect line of plumpness and slenderness under the white dress. She looked down at everything in the Pilgrimage Hall.

"Shang Yanfei is really a strange woman. Should I say that she is too confident in herself or that she believes that the Queen of the Demon Realm has no interest in the territory of Dongzhou?"

"It is really bold to give away the essence of the first generation of the Demon King for free."

The maid beside her looked down at the Pilgrimage Hall, which was completely blocked by the Law Enforcement Hall at this moment, and guessed: "The leader of the Liangyi Sect seems to be able to deduce the secrets of heaven. Maybe he has calculated something...?"

"Maybe."

Luo Tan smiled with his lips pursed, looking at the black-robed boy who wanted to enter the Pilgrimage Hall but was blocked by the Law Enforcement Hall, and chuckled: "It seems that there are still many smart people."

Although the first generation of the Demon King is dead, there may be some good things left by the first generation of the Demon King in the Pilgrimage Hall. Knowing that the evil things in the Pilgrimage Hall are the cultivators of the first generation of the Demon King, they will naturally want to go in and find out.

However, the current Law Enforcement Hall is naturally impossible for anyone to step into it.

The maid took a look and said: "That person seems to be Ye Yu, an inner disciple of Zuimeng Peak. He is very talented and an alchemist."

Luo Tan said "hmm" lightly, and seemed not to be very interested.

Alchemists are naturally very sensitive to spiritual energy, and the spiritual energy in their bodies is bound to be mixed with some "herbal" smell. Ye Yu can be known to be an alchemist at a glance, and his talent is quite amazing.

"It seems that he doesn't have a very good thinking ability." The empress said softly.

At this moment, Ye Yu was arguing with the people from the Law Enforcement Hall in front of the Pilgrimage Hall. He was full of resentment in his heart. Looking at the female cultivator from the Law Enforcement Hall, he said in a deep voice: "Senior sister, I accidentally left my ring in the Pilgrimage Hall when I went to the Pilgrimage Hall before. I hope you can make some concessions."

If you look closely, you will find that this senior sister is An Lingyue, the senior sister of Canghai Peak who had met Mu Zhian once in the past.

She is the granddaughter of the head of the Law Enforcement Hall, and is also one of the cultivators responsible for blocking the Pilgrimage Hall this time. At this moment, she naturally rejected the sect disciples who planned to enter it.

"I'm sorry, but for the safety of Junior Brother Ye, I can't let you in." An Lingyue said with a smile.

Ye Yu seemed to want to say something, and raised his head and said: "But Senior Sister——"

An Lingyue said in a gentle voice: "Junior Brother, the sect has an order that no one is allowed to enter the Pilgrimage Hall during this period of time. If you enter without permission, both you and I will be severely punished. Junior Brother, please go back."

Knowing that there are still good things in the Pilgrimage Hall, the Law Enforcement Hall won't let you in... Looking at An Lingyue who was unyielding, Ye Yu's face was not very good. He looked at An Lingyue and the disciples of the Law Enforcement Hall beside her again. Although he was unwilling, he had to turn around and leave in the end.

Since the Law Enforcement Hall refused to give in, he had to find another way.

Ye Yu naturally didn't know that when he was confronting the people of the Law Enforcement Hall, in a certain sky pavilion, all his performances were seen by the empress of Yuzhou.

The maid at the side said, "This Ye Yu has good talent, but he doesn't seem to understand the ways of the world. He was even scornful when he left just now."

Luo Tan smiled and didn't care about it. He just thought about what Shang Yanfei's motive was.

During this period, a few people wanted to enter the Pilgrimage Hall, but they were all driven away by the Law Enforcement Hall. After a while, Luo Tan seemed to be a little tired of the scene here and was about to leave.

At this time, she suddenly glanced at the little monk who had just arrived at the Pilgrimage Hall on the ground.

It was the little monk with a special aura that night.

He seemed to be an old acquaintance of An Lingyue. At this moment, he was chatting with this senior sister, showing a spring breeze smile from time to time. It seemed that the atmosphere was quite good.

The maid took a look and said, "This person seems to understand the ways of the world, and has a good relationship with that senior sister... But no matter how good the relationship is, it is impossible to let him in."

As she said, she couldn't help but look at Mu Zhian twice more.

She has good taste in clothes and looks very good. Even in Yuzhou, I have never seen such a good-looking skin... If she were a woman, she could be described as "a beauty that can overwhelm a country".

At this time, it seemed that Mu Zhian mentioned that he wanted to enter the Pilgrimage Hall. The smile on An Lingyue's face slowly withdrew, and then she shook her head helplessly and rejected Mu Zhian.

Seeing this scene, Luo Tan smiled faintly: "Go back."

This Mu Zhian has more "emotional intelligence" than other cultivators. It will be much more comfortable to get along with him, but that's all.

It seems that Qingdi's previous performance was not fake.

Originally, I thought that Qingdi was trying his best to show that he was not interested in Mu Zhian, but now it seems that Qingdi really has no interest in Mu Zhian, and he decided to teach him in person just to repay his kindness.

As for being able to obtain the water of reincarnation, it was probably because he happened to have a close relationship with the Saint of the Forbidden Zone and pleased the Saint of the Forbidden Zone.

After all, no matter how talented the Saint of the Forbidden Zone is, she is just a girl of no more than seventeen years old.

Thinking of this, Luo Tan was about to turn around and leave. The maid beside her bowed slightly and followed her behind.

At this moment, as if she had noticed something, Luo Tan looked sideways and saw Mu Zhian taking out a sect token from his arms.

The sect token was white and gold, with a silver dragon engraved on it, which looked lifelike.

Luo Tan didn't know much about the Liangyi Sect, but he knew that the tokens in the sect were roughly divided into five categories: the sect tokens of disciples, the special law enforcement tokens of the law enforcement hall, and the four tokens of elders and chiefs.

The fifth token was the most special.

There was only one token, and there was only one person in the entire sect who held it. Seeing this token was like seeing the sect master, and even the elders had to pay their respects when they saw this token.

"Why is the Linglong token in his hands...?"

Luo Tan's eyes flickered slightly, and he looked at the token in Mu Zhian's hand with suspicion.

"Master...?"

The maid paused and looked up at the empress, only to see her standing in front of the sky pavilion, looking down at the direction where Mu Zhian was.

After a while, a faint arc appeared at the corner of her mouth.

"Don't worry, let's wait and see."

The Green Emperor... is hiding something.
