So, They Were the Protagonists All Along

In fact, for Mu Zhian, it is very easy to guess that someone wants to frame Liangyi Sect and make him hate him.

And it is not difficult to guess that the person who wants to do this is a demon cultivator from the previous dynasty.

It's just that the information gap between the two sides is too big.

Even if the other party racks his brains, he can't guess the relationship between Mu Zhian and Linglong, and he will never think that Mu Zhian has been the pen pal of the sect master for a long time.

In the final analysis, such an outrageous thing, even if Mu Zhian said it in front of the old demon, the other party would just laugh it off.

And Senior Sister Lan is also the object of Mu Zhian's affection, and Ying Guhuan and Mu Zhian have a close relationship. The two belong to the kind of relationship that may be like Guan and Bao in a month or two.

Ying Guhuan is the seventh seat in the demon world. Without Ying Guhuan's signal, how could the demon cultivators in the sect secretly help Gongsun Xiong?

The person who would help Gongsun Xiong deal with Mu Zhian is either a person in the restricted area or Ye Yu.

The former doesn't have the courage or the ability, and the latter... Ye Yu is the chosen one, but with his current level, he can't help Gongsun Xiong so much.

Besides, Ye Yu doesn't have the brains.

It's not the sect cultivators who did it, nor the sect demon cultivators, so who else could it be?

The answer also surfaced.

The remnants of the demon cultivators of the previous dynasty.

Of course, so far this is just a guess, and Mu Zhian doesn't know the reason now, and there is no need to know it now.

From the beginning, it doesn't matter whether the old demon's men are doing it, what's important is to "invite" the first seat down the mountain.

The intelligence gap between the two sides has doomed this conspiracy to be just a funny clown show.

And what Mu Zhian has to do is to be a spectator and watch the clown perform on the stage.

"Are we going to return to the Mu family directly?"

Wei Mengrou suddenly asked while flying away from Liangyi Sect on a sword.

Mu Zhian shook his head gently and said, "Let's go to the Bai family first."

There were two chiefs following them at a distance behind the two of them.

The first chief of Canghai Peak, Ying Guhuan, and another person, the owner of the library, Yan Ruyu.

The two had special identities, so they did not choose to go with Mu Zhian, but kept a distance.

And in the clouds above Mu Zhian's head, a handsome and awe-inspiring spirit dragon was floating in the air, looking very lazy and comfortable.

But it also kept a distance from Mu Zhian.

Mu Zhian didn't mind this, anyway, his goal had been achieved.

The rest was to first determine whether his previous judgment was correct.

For this, he needed to go to the Bai family first and ask the future mother-in-law for advice.

...

Bai Mansion.

The Bai family mistress, wearing a loose robe and with a plump and attractive figure, sat in the side hall, looking at the young man who had not returned for nearly half a year after kidnapping her daughter.

"Nephew Mu, you came back at this time, I think you already know what happened?" Bai Yuanfeng asked with a gentle smile.

She wanted to ask about Bai Ruoxi, but she also knew that what was more important now was the special situation of Gongsun Xiong.

Mu Zhian nodded slightly and said, "Gongsun Xiong's promotion to the Return to Void Realm is such a big thing that even in the Liangyi Sect can be noticed."

"I came to my aunt this time for this matter."

"Are you going to ask me if Gongsun Xiong has taken Tongmai Pills?" Bai Yuanfeng asked.

Dealing with smart people is easy... Mu Zhian nodded slightly.

Bai Yuanfeng said faintly, "I saw Gongsun Xiong take Tongmai Pills with my own eyes."

"And after that, Gongsun Xiong's strength was indeed declining."

Mu Zhian did not speak, but stared at this woman who looked quite similar to Bai Ruoxi, knowing that she had not finished speaking.

"Who would have thought that three days ago, Gongsun Xiong suddenly broke through the peak of the soul-refining realm and entered the Return to Void Realm." When Bai Yuanfeng said this, there was also some disbelief in her eyes.

Gongsun Xiong certainly did not discover what she did to the Tongmai Pill, and after taking the Tongmai Pill, Gongsun Xiong's strength was indeed gradually weakening.

In this case, how could he bear the huge side effects of the Tongmai Pill and break through the Return to Void Realm?

Mu Zhian's eyes were more thoughtful.

It was confirmed that Gongsun Xiong had taken the Tongmai Pill, and it was basically certain that his previous guess was correct.

Gongsun Xiong did not advance to the Return to Void Realm for no reason, but someone was secretly helping him.

The person who helped him was most likely a demon cultivator from the old demon's faction.

In this way, everything made sense.

"What are you going to do now, nephew Mu?" Bai Yuanfeng looked at the young man with a thoughtful look on his face and suddenly asked.

"Returning to the Void Realm is something I cannot reach for the time being."

Under the gaze of the mistress of the Bai family, Mu Zhian showed a gentle smile: "But... there are people who are better than me at exorcising demons and defending the Way."

Aware of the doubt in Bai Yuanfeng's eyes, Mu Zhian did not explain any more, but turned her head and stood at the door of the side hall, looking like a well-behaved and quiet woman.

Seeing this, Bai Yuanfeng looked over.

The woman had silver hair and wore a simple robe. Her face was beautiful and her skin was as white as cream. She looked radiant.

Holding the last bun just taken out of the ring, she wore a pair of small boots with light patterns under her plain robe, and the white skin of her calves was slightly revealed between the boots and the plain robe.

A pair of slender jade hands stretched out from the cuffs, holding the buns and chewing silently.

"Who is this...?" Bai Yuanfeng's eyes had a hint of doubt.

She was a cultivator in the realm of refining spirits, but she didn't see through the other party's realm. She seemed to be just an ordinary person.

Whether the other party's dress or the aura on her body, she looked like an ordinary girl, but her appearance was more outstanding.

"A friend of mine, I brought her down to have some snacks this time." Mu Zhian smiled.

Bai Yuanfeng couldn't help but glance at Mu Zhian and warned: "You should know how dangerous Tianxuan City is now? If you take a girl out, it will be very troublesome if Gongsun Xiong catches you."

Mu Zhian is a disciple of the sect, and there is a sect token hanging around his waist, so Gongsun Xiong naturally didn't dare to attack him.

But the girl outside has nothing. If Gongsun Xiong sets his sights on her and makes a big fuss about this...

Mu Zhian silently looked at the silver-haired beauty who was holding the bun and chewing it silently, and smiled faintly: "Auntie, have you ever heard of a word?"

He turned his head to look at Bai Yuanfeng and smiled: "It's called fishing enforcement."

...

Gongsun's house.

Gongsun Xiong was sitting in the side hall and drinking tea leisurely. Suddenly, he heard the servant walk into the side hall and convey the corresponding news.

"Master, Mr. Ren really refused."

Gongsun Xiong didn't seem surprised. He put down the teacup in his hand and smiled: "It seems that an alchemist is an alchemist. He is still quite dignified."

The servant stood respectfully aside, looked at Gongsun Xiong tentatively, and asked: "Master, what should we do now?"

"If he refuses to show his favor, then I can only invite him in person." Gongsun Xiong smiled indifferently.

Ren Lao holds a very high position in Tianxuan City, and the biggest reason is that he is the person with the highest alchemy skills in Tianxuan City.

The best way to alleviate the impact of the tampered Tongmai Pill is to let Ren Lao refine another Tongmai Pill for him.

As for the materials... naturally, he has to ask the Mu family for them.

In the past, the Mu family asked for so many benefits from the Gongsun family, and now, it's time to spit them out bit by bit!

However, at this moment, another servant hurriedly walked into the side hall and whispered: "Master, Mu Zhian is back, and... he is accompanied by a very beautiful woman."

Gongsun Xiong couldn't help but reveal a faint smile on his face.

It seems that this nephew Mu is still impatient.

But he brought a woman... should it be another female disciple of Liangyi Sect?

"What does that woman look like?" Gongsun Xiong asked.

"Very beautiful, probably not worse than the eldest lady of the Bai family." The servant said respectfully.

"Stupid, I'm asking about the woman's characteristics, and whether she has a sect token on her body?" Gongsun Xiong cursed.

The servant hesitated for a moment and said, "I didn't see the sect token of Liangyi Sect hanging around her waist, but she should also be a disciple of Liangyi Sect."

"Where are they now?" Gongsun Xiong asked.

"Master Mu went to Mu's house before, and left Mu's house not long after. He went to Chaohai Inn to buy some snacks, and then hurried out of the city with the woman beside him... It seems that he is planning to go back." The servant replied.

Gongsun Xiong narrowed his eyes and smiled, "It seems that it should be the people of Mu's family who persuaded him to leave Tianxuan City."

Now that he has returned to the realm of emptiness, he is like a giant in Tianxuan City. Even if Mu Zhian is a sect disciple of Liangyi Sect, he can't affect the entire battle situation now.

The servant saw Gongsun Xiong stand up and couldn't help asking, "Are you going out, master?"

"I can't let my nephew Mu leave." Gongsun Xiong said slowly.

Mu Zhian now knows about the changes in Tianxuan City. If he invites someone to help, it will be very troublesome.

He doesn't want to cause any more trouble.

Moreover, the middle-aged cultivator who helped him before also said that he wanted to make Mu Zhian hate Liangyi Sect... If he wants to achieve this, letting Mu Zhian stay in Gongsun's house is the best solution.

Although he can't take action against the disciples of the sect, he can "invite" Mu Zhian and his girlfriend to Gongsun's house, right?

...

"Sister Lin Ling, how does it taste? There are still a lot of delicious food in Tianxuan City, right?"

Not far outside Tianxuan City is a stone bridge, and there is a small bridge and flowing water beside the stone bridge. At this moment, Mu Zhian is walking along the river with Lin Ling.

The silver-haired beauty beside him blinked her beautiful eyes and nodded very contentedly. She held a butter paper bag in her left hand and a crispy and delicious butter cake in her right hand and took a small bite.

Then, she hesitated, took out a piece of cake from the butter paper bag and handed it to Mu Zhian: "Aaa."

This seemed to mean: Don't say I treat you unfairly, this is for you.

The problem is that these things seem to be bought by me... Mu Zhian took the cake with a smile and said, "Thank you."

The two strolled along the stone bridge and walked out of the city unknowingly.

At this time, a rumbling thunder suddenly rang out in the sky.

Then, a figure in the air fell gracefully with his hands behind his back.

Mu Zhian's eyes condensed slightly, his eyes changed slightly, and he said: "Gongsun Xiong?!"

Gongsun Xiong looked at Mu Zhian with a gentle smile and said: "Nephew Mu, how are you?"

Mu Zhian subconsciously took a half step back, with a look of surprise in his eyes, and asked: "How do you know that I came to Tianxuan City?"

"After all, my uncle has some power in Tianxuan City. It's easy to know a person's movements, isn't it?" Gongsun Xiong said with a faint smile.

After a long pause, Mu Zhian stared at Gongsun Xiong and said in a deep voice: "I am a disciple of Liangyi Sect. If my uncle wants to do it, he must think clearly. Once I crush the jade slip, the elders of the sect will immediately know that it was my uncle who did it to me."

Gongsun Xiong smiled gently: "My uncle doesn't plan to do anything to you, but just wants to invite you to stay at Gongsun's house for a day or two."

His tone was light, as if he was talking about something ordinary, but it made people not disobey.

He is not a fool, how could he kill a disciple of Liangyi Sect?

But not killing him doesn't mean that he can't "invite" Mu Zhian to Gongsun's house as a guest.

If he only stayed at Gongsun's house for a day or two, even if the elders of Liangyi Sect knew about it, they would not do anything.

After all, he was now in the Return to Void Realm, and even if the elders of the sect took action, they would have to think about it.

Moreover, it would take at least three hours to get from Liangyi Sect to Tianxuan City. Those elders of the sect were usually high and mighty, and they were wholeheartedly practicing. How could they care about such trivial matters?

If Mu Zhian had not encountered danger and crushed the jade slip, those elders of the sect might not care.

"I have no interest in staying at Gongsun's house." Mu Zhian stared at Gongsun Xiong and said in a deep voice.

Gongsun Xiong showed a gentle smile: "This may not be up to you, nephew Mu."

When he heard this, Mu Zhian's eyes finally changed a little, and he subconsciously blocked in front of Lin Ling.

This scene was naturally seen by Gongsun Xiong.

"Nephew Mu is really popular with women. Last time, she was the most beautiful woman in Tianxuan City. This time, she is also a very beautiful woman." Gongsun Xiong praised sincerely.

Then, he looked up and down at this silver-haired beauty who looked well-behaved, obedient and sensible, and slowly stretched out his hand to her.

Mu Zhian's eyes moved slightly, and he said anxiously: "Don't touch her!"

"Don't worry, just follow me back to the Gongsun family, and I will naturally let her go when the time comes."

At this moment, the spiritual energy of the immortals on the land spread out strongly, and the sky and the earth changed color, and they shook Mu Zhian several steps away.

Lin Ling stretched out her small tongue to lick the food residue on her fingers, and soon noticed the huge figure of the man stretching out his big hand towards her.

She tilted her head slightly, blinking her beautiful eyes, and there was a look of doubt in her enchanting red starry eyes.
