Old Bastard
Chapter 456: Old Shame
That night, when it was late and quiet, He Yiyi heard a knock on the window. She was a little flustered and quickly opened the window, only to see Qin Mu climbing in through the window. He smiled and said, "Sister Yiyi, I saw that there was no one around, so I climbed in."
He Yiyi's heart was pounding as she looked at her lover in the candlelight. The more she looked, the more distracted and flustered she became.
So, the two of them chatted about formations all night.
Early the next morning, before the sun rose, Qin Mu quietly slipped out of the window again. It was said that it was also a custom in the Western land that the man could not meet the woman's family in a walking marriage.
Before Qin Mu went downstairs, he met a few women who had gotten up early. The women turned their heads away and pretended not to see him. Only after Qin Mu landed and walked some distance away did they hear low laughter.
When the sun was high in the sky, He Yiyi led the others to reluctantly see Qin Mu off from Jianhe Valley, saying, "Our He family alone is not enough to defeat the True Heaven Palace. Leader, go meet the Poison Master, and I will meet the heads of other families in the West to discuss important matters."
Qin Mu said goodbye and left.
He Yiyi watched him go away, feeling a little lost.
A girl next to her laughed softly, "Sister and Brother-in-law Qin got together last night? Several people saw Brother-in-law climbing through the window, and some saw Brother-in-law coming down from upstairs early in the morning."
He Yiyi was bleary-eyed and a little lacking in energy. She said unhappily, "What's good? We talked about formations all night."
The other girls came up and chattered, laughing, "Is talking about formations just an excuse? Last night was a long night, and it was like a pair of mandarin ducks resting together and butterflies flying around!"
He Yiyi gnashed her teeth, making a squeaking sound.
Several girls were shocked: "Did you really spend the whole night talking about formations with your brother-in-law?"
He Yiyi said helplessly, "He was so excited, what else could I do? Use force? Would the He family still have to save face? If he really used force, wouldn't he turn the world upside down and even demolish Yuncheng? I had no choice but to talk to him about formations all night. Fortunately, he had a very broad mind and knowledge. We were so immersed in the exploration of formations that we forgot about the love and happiness, and only felt that the night was too short. But now that I think about it, I feel that we can actually do something before exploring the formations and exchanging formations."
Several girls looked at each other in bewilderment. This man and woman, who were alone in the same room, actually spent the whole night talking about formations: "What a beast... worse than a beast!"
"Then why did Sister ask Brother-in-law Qin to find that little bitch of the Poison Master?"
One girl boldly asked, "What if Mu Yingxue is not as reserved as her sister and snatches her brother-in-law away?"
He Yiyi sneered, "Unless Miss Mu uses force, no one can take advantage of him. Ever since Miss Mu lost in the fight with him, she has been thinking about him and is full of passion. This girl always competes with me. If she knew that I was defeated, she would definitely laugh at me. It's better to let her be defeated once and shut her up first!"
Several girls were full of admiration: "Sister, you are so wise!"
Qin Mu took Xiong Qier and sat on the back of Long Qilin, heading towards Leishan City where the poison master Mu Yingxue was.
"Big brother, aren't we going to Zhentian Palace?" Xiong Qier asked curiously.
"I did plan to go to the True Heaven Palace, but I have not heard from the Imperial Master and your mother yet. I suspect..."
Qin Mu's eyes twitched, and he sneered, "That bastard, the Imperial Master, never showed up. I know what he wants to do! He is just waiting for me to make a big mess in the Western Land, attracting the attention and most important combat power of the True Heaven Palace, and then he will win in the chaos! This old bastard... I was wondering why he took the initiative to come to my Tiansheng Academy, invite your mother to the Western Land, and then take the initiative to invite me."
He raised his head and looked around, only to see a few white clouds in the sky following them. He quickly said to Long Qilin, "Fat Long, we're being targeted again."
Long Qilin felt a chill in his heart and quickly quickened his pace.
The speed of those white clouds suddenly increased, but after chasing for a while, they were left far behind by Long Qilin.
Qin Mu noticed that not only were white clouds chasing them, but the water of the Jian River below also suddenly flowed upstream, and the waves were like a sneaking dragon, but they still did not catch up with them.
Qin Mu looked puzzled. The person with supernatural powers who was chasing them should be a strong man from Zhentian Palace. The tracking method of Zhentian Palace was indeed unparalleled in the world. Once they were targeted, it would be difficult to get rid of them.
However, how did this sinister Yankang National Master know that his entry into the Western Land would attract a lot of attention and draw the combat power of the Zhentian Palace?
I am obviously very well-behaved and low-key, how does he know that I might become the biggest target of Zhentian Palace?
"The Imperial Master is still an old fox..."
Qin Mu looked at Xiong Qier and immediately knew where the target came from.
Based on what he had learned in the past few days, Xitu values the little princess very much. The master of Zhentian Palace must have a little princess to secure his position. And since he brought Xiong Qier, the former little princess, with him, wouldn't he become the biggest target of Zhentian Palace?
Xiong Xiyu is not a concern, Xiong Qier is the target of the True Palace Master!
In the past, the target that Yu Bochuan led the crowd to hunt down was not Xiong Xiyu, but Xiong Qier!
Qin Mu still remembers that the reason why he rescued Xiong Xiyu and her daughter was because he couldn't bear to see Yu Bochuan and others attacking a little girl like Xiong Qier who was only four or five years old, so he took the risk to save her.
Now that I think about it, there was a reason why Yu Bochuan wanted to kill Xiong Qier.
"Why does the Zhentian Palace pay so much attention to the little princess?"
He couldn't help but wonder, so he squatted down, held Xiong Qier's shoulders with both hands, and looked at her over and over again. He couldn't see anything special about Xiong Qier, and he became even more confused.
The master of Zhentian Palace is Nai Kui, which means the mother of the princess, and the princess's father is called Ba Gou. These two names are derived from the little princess. This shows that Zhentian Palace attaches great importance to the little princess, and there must be a special reason for it!
Xiong Qier looked at him with her big, twinkling eyes, innocent and pure, not looking like she had any abilities.
Suddenly, Qin Mu noticed Xiong Qier's small backpack and was startled. Xiong Qier had been carrying this small backpack with her since she was in Tiansheng Academy. He thought it contained spare clothes for the little girl and never took it seriously.
Now, he was curious about this small backpack.
"Qier, what's in your backpack?" Qin Mu asked.
Xiong Qier took off the backpack, opened it, and a green light sprinkled on Qin Mu's face.
Qin Mu sighed: "As expected. The old scoundrel, the Imperial Master..."
The Azure Dragon Ball lay quietly in the backpack. The dragon ball was as green as jade, crystal clear, and a dragon soul was swimming gently inside. When Qin Mu grasped the dragon ball, the Azure Dragon Soul showed disdain, but when Qin Mu let Xiong Qier put her palm on the Azure Dragon Ball, the Azure Dragon Soul looked very comfortable and gently touched Xiong Qier's hand through the dragon ball.
"Children are pure and innocent, and they are the best materials for practicing the Ten Thousand Gods Natural Power."
Qin Mu sighed and thought that the main reason why Zhentian Palace needed the little princess was that she was pure and innocent, without any other distractions. She was able to control treasures like the Azure Dragon Pearl and bring the power of this treasure to its fullest.
In the Zhentian Palace, besides the Azure Dragon Pearl, there are three other treasures, representing the Azure Dragon, Black Tortoise, Vermillion Bird, and White Tiger. The only one who can unleash the full power of these treasures is the little princess of the Zhentian Palace!
The strongest fighting force of Zhentian Palace has never been the Lord of Zhentian Palace or Nai Kui, or any other strong man, but the powerless little princess.
National Master Yankang and Xiong Xiyu entered the Western Land before them, and leaving the Azure Dragon Pearl to Xiong Qier was definitely not Xiong Xiyu's idea, but National Master Yankang's idea.
Xiong Xiyu thought that State Master Yankang was unreliable, so she asked Qin Mu to bring Xiong Qier to the Western Land. Unexpectedly, she fell into State Master Yankang's trap, and Qin Mu and Xiong Qier and his group became the targets of Zhentian Palace. The State Master and she could act in secret with the cover of Qin Mu and others.
"The Imperial Master deserves a spanking. He is the Heavenly King of the Tiansheng Sect after all, and he even dared to plot against his own Sect Leader."
Qin Mu sighed and cheered himself up. At this moment, Long Qilin suddenly stopped and said, "Master, there is something."
Qin Mu looked forward and saw continuous mountains in front of him with black coffins hanging on the steep cliffs. Long Qilin was flying between two mountains, but he saw that the black coffins hanging on the cliffs on both sides almost covered the cliffs and made the mountains black.
He counted quickly and found that there were probably three to five thousand coffins here.
"This is... a place for raising corpses!"
He opened his Danxiao Heavenly Eyes and looked, and immediately saw gusts of cold wind and gloomy clouds covering the mountains.
This place is indeed suitable for raising corpses.
According to the geographical map of Xitu, this should be Xiajun, about 800 miles east of Leishan City. Xiajun is exactly the territory of the Liu family in Xitu.
"The corpse-raising ground is the Liu family's territory? Are these corpses raised by the Liu family in Xitu?"
He suddenly thought that corpses have no spirits or gods, so aren't they the perfect material for the Western Land's magical masters to summon spirits and gods? The bodies of magical masters have been tempered and are better than spiritual weapons. Moreover, they have limbs, so they may be able to display magical powers in battle, which is more useful than spiritual weapons.
"Get promoted and make a fortune!"
Suddenly, a loud shout was heard. Qin Mu looked in the direction of the sound and saw several men with turbans on their heads taking out a coffin, chanting some words about getting promoted and getting rich. By activating the magical power of the West, a black coffin suddenly grew legs and ran fast on the cliff, and landed on the ground with a bang.
Crunch.
The coffin lid opened a little, and a woman jumped out from inside. She turned her neck stiffly and looked at Qin Mu, saying, "Could it be the Demon Leader from Middle-earth?"
Qin Mu was surprised. He couldn't tell whether the woman in the coffin was alive or dead. He said, "It is Qin. May I ask who you are?"
"Liu Ruyin of the Liu family."
The woman jumped out of the coffin, landed on the ground, and said, "I heard that the leader brought the little princess to our Western Land. Where is the little princess?"
Qin Mu held Xiong Qier's hand and said with a smile: "The little princess is here."
Liu Ruyin looked at Xiong Qier with a gleam in her eyes. Suddenly, the smell of corpses was overwhelming. The black coffins on the cliff automatically grew legs and feet and rushed down the cliff at a high speed. Some coffins floated in the air, and the creaking sounds made when the coffin lids were opened were endless. One by one, "corpses" who were not sure whether they were dead or alive sat up from the coffins and looked at Xiong Qier!
Qin Mu reached out and took out the Azure Dragon Ball from Xiong Qier's small backpack, stuffed it into Xiong Qier's hand, and said calmly: "Liu Ruyin, your Liu family seems to be plotting something bad."
When Liu Ruyin saw the Azure Dragon Pearl, she couldn't help but raise her sleeves to cover her face, screamed terribly, and said in fear: "Don't mess around!"
