Chapter 610: Mu Family Secrets
Three saints attacked Zhenxi Prefecture City?
You should know that in the barbarian war in the north that lasted for several years, there were only two saints in total.
One of them was the barbarian king who broke through to become a saint halfway through.
At this moment, three saints suddenly appeared to attack the important border town. This news is indeed quite shocking.
However, after hearing this information from the man in the straw raincoat, Xu Yuan's expression did not change at all.
Because according to the information he has now, not counting the missing desert wolf, there are exactly three saints who have clearly appeared in the West Desert.
Baidi, Madam Wan, and the insect saint.
But the above three saints seemed to have no reason to risk attacking Zhenxi Prefecture City, let alone going hand in hand.
So, Xu Yuan waited for the other party's next explanation.
The cave is not transparent, and darkness fills every corner.
After a long silence, the voice of the man in the straw raincoat was filled with a hint of vigilant doubt:
"You don't seem surprised by this?"
Xu Yuan thought for a moment, and finally chose to tell the truth:
"According to the information we have, there are indeed three saints gathered in Qianji Gorge."
Hearing this, the man in the straw raincoat's turbid eyes flashed with surprise, and then he said with a cough and a laugh:
"Hehe, I underestimated the strength of Jiantian Pavilion. I hope you can pass on this information as soon as possible."
Xu Yuan did not refute this, but chuckled and said:
"Uncle, although you have saved Tianyan before, you can't expect us to believe you for such things with empty words, right?"
The man in the straw raincoat frowned and whispered:
"This is just the simplest "Single message, isn't your Jiantian Pavilion there to protect the human race? If the Zhenxi Marquisate falls"
"Stop."
Xu Yuan interrupted the other party's accusation and said with a smile:
"Our Jiantian Pavilion is for the continuation of the human race. Xize Island will not affect the entire human race."
As he said, he stared at the other party's turbid eyes, and his voice was a little alienated:
"And sir, please don't evade the important issues anymore. Instead of using the righteousness to pressure me, it is better to produce some actual evidence."
"."
For this simple question, the man in the straw raincoat did not reply immediately, and the other party's silence also made Xu Yuan frown gradually, and bowed:
"Sir, no matter what your difficulties are, we can only say goodbye here."
"."The man in the straw raincoat.
After speaking, there was silence.
From Xu Yuan's perspective, the whole thing was weird.
According to the information he knew, the three saints could indeed capture the Zhenxi Prefecture City where he had stayed for one night. But for such an important fortress town, even a human-shaped nuclear weapon like a saint will most likely pay the price of his life.
At least one person must be buried with Zhenxi Prefecture City.
This mysterious Transcendent opened his mouth and said that the three saints were attacking the city. Are these three saints brainless or lifeless?
Now Xizezhou is already treacherous.
With the other party's attitude, Xu Yuan has begun to suspect that this person and Madam Wan are in the same group.
Save Tianyan's life from Madam Wan, play a long game to catch a big fish.
In silence, Mu Xingchen sighed softly.
Although he didn't like what his father did, he didn't want to betray him.
A slightly hoarse voice sounded softly, and he looked at the young man in brocade robe in front of him:
"For some reasons, I can't reveal my identity, but I can tell you that this matter is related to the holy ghost that is chasing the saint."
As soon as the words came out, Xu Yuan's hostility towards this strange Transcendent decreased slightly, and he whispered:
"Madam Wan?"
"Yes." Mu Xingchen nodded.
Touching his chin, Xu Yuan carefully considered his words and said in a low voice:
"According to the information from our Jiantian Pavilion, there should be only two saints and one half-saint in their family, and Madam Wan seems to be injured."
As soon as the voice fell, Mu Xingchen's momentum changed instantly.
The weakness just now was swept away, replaced by the huge pressure of the Dao Realm.
Mu Xingchen sat up with one arm, his eyes narrowed slightly, and his voice lowered slightly:
"Why do you know the relationship between the Insect Saint and the Saint-level Yin Ghost?"
"."
Xu Yuan found that he was completely "silenced".
The skills stagnated, and the spiritual vision returned to the orifice.
In the dim cave, Xu Yuan moved half a step behind Tian Ye without leaving a trace, and replied nonchalantly:
"Because Xingyi and I have a life-and-death relationship, and Xingyi is both the offspring of the insect saint and the husband of Madam Wan."
The moment Mu Xingchen heard this, he realized something was wrong:
"You and Xingyi have a life-and-death relationship, why would that holy ghost attack the saint?"
Xu Yuan looked at a fool and said as a matter of course:
"Because Madam Wan didn't know the relationship between Xingyi and me at first, let alone the relationship between me and the saint."
"Sir, don't you think this statement is too far-fetched?"
"I don't know whether it's far-fetched or not, but"
At this point, Xu Yuan changed the subject: "You seemed to call my "good friend" Xingyi just now?"
"."Mu Xingchen.
"Sir, are you from the Mu's Chamber of Commerce?"
Even though his skills were sealed, Xu Yuan's physique still allowed him to see in the dark. He looked at the weathered face of the man in the straw raincoat, narrowed his eyes slightly, and suddenly curled his lips:
"Uncle, I suddenly discovered that your appearance seems somewhat similar to that of Mu Shanhai."
The words fell.
Xu Yuan stared at Mu Xingchen with a smile.
Mu Xingchen's face was expressionless.
The gentle breeze rustled the coir raincoat, and you could hear a needle drop in the cave.
This was Xu Yuan's test of the identity of the man in coir raincoat.
Although he knew Mu Shanhai, he didn't know what he looked like, but this didn't stop him from using this trick to deceive him.
This person subconsciously called the half-insect person Xingyi, and the relationship must be very close.
Judging from Mu Xingyi's cultivation and status before he transformed into a worm, it seemed that the only powerful people he could make friends with were those from the Mu family.
Judging from how unpopular Mu Shanhai was, the retainers would most likely avoid him like a god of plague and would not be willing to board his broken ship to "seize the legitimate son."
Time passed by seconds, and Xu Yuan quietly waited for the reply from the man in front of him.
After a while,
Mu Xingchen sighed softly, glanced at his bloody palm with lowered eyes, and murmured in a complicated tone:
"It seems that Mu still subconsciously wants to tell the news."
"Um?"
Xu Yuan raised his eyebrows slightly, feeling confused about this person's confusing words: "What do you mean by this, sir?"
"It's nothing, I just feel that I shouldn't make such a low-level verbal mistake."
Mu Xingchen slowly raised his eyes with a smile: "Young Master, you are right. I am from the Mu family, and I was once the eldest son of the Mu family."
"once?"
"Because I have severed ties with my family."
"Mu Xingchen, who died of illness twelve years ago?"
Tianye's voice suddenly sounded, interrupting the conversation between the two.
Xu Yuan looked at the graceful back of the girl in front of him, Tianye looked back and smiled, and gestured to him:
Tian Yan said~
After reacting for a moment, Xu Yuan felt slightly dumbfounded.
As the heir to a power, Tian Yan was obviously much more qualified than him, and he could actually remember all these scraps of information so clearly.
After hearing this, Mu Xingchen chuckled and shook his head:
"The saint is right, I am Mu Xingchen who died of illness."
Hearing this, Xu Yuan slowly moved his body out from behind Tianye, chuckled and said:
"It seems that the relationship in your family is quite complicated. First, you died of illness and faked your death, and then there was no trace of this person, Mu Xingyi.
"But what's even more curious is, how do your herdsmen manage to "breed" beings like the Insect Saint?"
"breeding?"
When Mu Xingchen heard this word, his face turned slightly ugly for a moment, but then he laughed at himself:
"Young Master's description is correct. The birth of Xingyi can indeed be described by the word 'breeding'. About thirty years ago, my father planned and designed the Insect Saint, using Xingyi's mother As a bait, he used secret techniques to obtain the bloodline of this ancient beast, and gave birth to the current Xingyi.
"And the person who carried out this matter is me, Mu Xingchen."
"."
Hearing these words, a flash of surprise flashed through Xu Yuan's heart unconsciously.
Thirty years ago?
According to the information in the internal reference of the Prime Minister's Office, Xizezhou should have just ended the "Tachao Rebellion" at this time. The entire Xizezhou was in dire straits waiting to be revitalized. How could the Mu Chamber of Commerce have the ability to plan at that time? Insect Saint?
Suppressing the doubts in his heart, Xu Yuan chuckled and said:
"So, does your Mu Chamber of Commerce want to take advantage of Mu Xingyi?"
"No, father does not want to take advantage of Mu Xingyi."
These words seemed to have been accumulated in the heart of this middle-aged man with a vicissitudes of life for a long time. The palm of his one arm was slightly clenched:
"What my father wanted was to use Xingyi's life to control the ancient beast, the Insect Saint, and he succeeded."
Xu Yuan squinted his eyes slightly, his thoughts racing rapidly, and asked in a solemn and slow voice:
"So, Mu Shanhai controls the Insect Saint for the purpose of"
"Oh sorry."
With an apologetic voice, Mu Xingchen interrupted Xu Yuan's question, shook his head, and whispered self-deprecatingly:
"As expected, I still can't do complete betrayal, so let's end this matter."
"."
Xu Yuan's expression froze.
If you're not a buddy, how can you give up your job and become the Riddler in the middle of the conversation?
Haven’t you heard the saying that loyalty is not absolute, and loyalty is absolutely not true?
He cursed in his heart, but when Xu Yuan looked at the other party's trembling palms, he finally sighed slightly in his heart.
Alas, a troubled person.
After smacking his lips, Xu Yuan turned to ask:
"Since you don't want to, sir, it's inconvenient for me to ask more questions. Is the Three Saints' siege you mentioned related to Mu Xingyi?"
"Yes, there is a connection."
Mu Xingchen calmed down and said softly: "Insect Saint was seriously injured not long ago."
"etc."
Xu Yuan interrupted him, with a dim light in his eyes: "Who was the person who injured the Insect Saint?"
"Sorry, I can't tell you this either."
"."Xu Yuan.
"In short, Mu Shanhai used Xingyi as bait and arranged for three mortal warriors, including me, to seal it."
Mu Xingchen's eyes showed a trace of memories, as if he had fallen into the despair and astonishment at that time:
"But when we arrived at the place, we only saw the corpse of the insect saint and the black shadow of a baby emerging from the huge beetle corpse."
"Ghost baby?"
"Master, do you know that thing?" Mu Xingchen raised his eyes slightly.
Xu Yuan rubbed his chin:
"I know a little bit. The ghost baby seems to be an ominous creature born by Mu Xingyi and Madam Wan."
As he said this,
his voice was full of interest:
"But it actually ate its own grandfather?"
