So, They Were the Protagonists All Along

Deep in the Dragon Head Forest.

At this moment, Mu Zhian had taken Bai Ruoxi to find a well-hidden cave entrance.

After entering the cave, he took out a paper crane from his ring and threw it out of the cave.

The paper crane flew out with the glow of the sunset and flew towards the sky.

Mu Zhian turned his head to look at Bai Ruoxi and asked, "Can you sense the aura of the Heavenly Dao here?"

There were many people there just now. If Bai Ruoxi had taken the aura of the Heavenly Dao directly, they might have turned against him immediately and encircled and suppressed Bai Ruoxi first.

At that time, Bai Ruoxi would have become the target of public criticism.

Even if two Mu family cultivators in the Refining Spirit Realm helped, it would only benefit the black-robed man.

But here, there would be no such trouble, after all, no one knew who took the aura of the Heavenly Dao away.

"I'll try."

After Bai Ruoxi finished speaking, she closed her eyes slightly.

Behind her, a bronze sword quietly appeared, looking ancient and solemn.

Almost not long after, Mu Zhian felt that there seemed to be a very warm light covering the entire cave.

He raised his head slightly and looked, and the ball emitting milky white light was quietly flying into the cave, illuminating the dim cave entrance.

It was the Qi of Heaven!

She was indeed able to attract the Qi of Heaven...

However, the reason should be due to this bronze sword?

Mu Zhian saw the clue.

Rather than saying that Bai Ruoxi attracted the Qi of Heaven, it was better to say that the bronze sword behind her attracted the Qi of Heaven.

Because he could feel that the Qi of Heaven was swirling around the bronze sword behind Bai Ruoxi, and it looked very intimate with it.

At the same time, Bai Ruoxi slowly opened her eyes and stretched out her palm.

The Qi of Heaven quietly fell into her palm, and the warm breath quietly nurtured Bai Ruoxi's veins. A warm feeling made her squint comfortably.

No wonder everyone cares so much about the Qi of Heaven.

With this thing, let alone a human, even a pig can advance to the Qi training realm in a few years.

This is simply a supreme treasure...

Bai Ruoxi looked at the Heavenly Qi in her palm, with a hint of entanglement in her eyes.

Finally, she turned around and stretched out her palm to Mu Zhian.

"Master Mu, I have no way to repay your kindness during this period. If you don't mind, you can take this thing."

Mu Zhian shook his head and did not accept it.

Bai Ruoxi frowned slightly and was about to speak.

At this time, Mu Zhian continued: "This thing is not in a hurry to distribute it now."

"No matter who has the Heavenly Qi in the end, at least you need to take it now."

Bai Ruoxi raised her eyebrows slightly, stared at Mu Zhian, and said: "Why...?"

Mu Zhian said: "This place is not suitable for explanation. You will understand when you leave the cave."

If you delay too long in this place, you will be suspected, and you must leave early.

Bai Ruoxi did not ask further questions. After spending the past few days together, she chose to believe Mu Zhian's words.

To be honest, if the timing was not right, she would even want to ask Mu Zhian what his purpose was.

If he didn't even want the Qi of Heaven, what else could make him excited?

Bai Ruoxi thought about this and took a step forward.

At this moment, her steps suddenly paused slightly, and she felt a cold sweat on her back. She turned her head suddenly and looked at Mu Zhian not far away.

A black venomous snake was staring at Mu Zhian coldly.

A demon in the realm of refining spirits? !

Bai Ruoxi's eyes slowly widened, and she hurriedly reached out to grab Mu Zhian's shoulder and pulled him back.

The bronze sword behind her was unsheathed and stabbed in the direction of the venomous snake.

Hiss!

The venomous snake spit out its tongue, twisted its body to avoid the attack, and sprayed a stream of venom from its mouth, which hit Bai Ruoxi's shoulder.

Under the gazes of the two, the dark venomous snake gradually transformed into a human form.

It was the black-robed man who had just faked his death!

His lips were extremely pale, and his spiritual energy was disordered, but his cold eyes were staring at the two of them.

To be precise, he was staring at Bai Ruoxi.

"Where is the Qi of Heaven?" The black-robed man asked coldly.

Mu Zhian frowned, staring at the black-robed man standing in front of the cave entrance, and said slowly: "You are not dead yet."

The black-robed man said "Hey", "I was almost killed by you, Master Mu."

"Although it is only the Qi training realm, you humans are really hard to guard against when playing tricks."

"But you have tricks, and we also have means of escape." The black-robed man raised his head, and a pair of cold eyes under the hat stared at Mu Zhian.

"Master Mu, are you surprised now?"

As he spoke, he exuded amazing spiritual energy. Even though he was seriously injured, the power of the spirit training realm was still fully demonstrated at this moment.

Bai Ruoxi covered her shoulders tightly. From the beginning, she felt a sense of powerlessness constantly drilling into her body.

It was the venom just now!

The venom was eroding her spiritual energy, so that she could hardly even activate the bronze sword now.

"Give up struggling. The bronze sword is indeed tricky, but after all, you are just a junior in the Qi training realm. As long as your meridians are temporarily blocked, you will be just an ordinary person." The black-robed man put his hands behind his back and stared at Mu Zhian.

"Master Mu, do you want to die quickly, or do you want to experience the feeling of living a life worse than death?"

Mu Zhian was startled and said, "It seems to make no difference?"

"Hand over the Qi of Heaven obediently, and I can give you a happy life."

"The energy of heaven is not here." Mu Zhian said, inadvertently glancing behind the man in black robe.

The man in black robe laughed and said: "Do you really think of me as a fool, Master Mu? The energy of heaven is in the hands of your little girlfriend, right?"

"Since you are unwilling to take the initiative to hand over the Qi of Heaven, then I can only do it myself."

The man in black robe stretched out his palm to grab Bai Ruoxi. Mu Zhian's expression remained unchanged, but he just stood in front of Bai Ruoxi.

The man in black robe chuckled, "A friend in need is a friend indeed, but what use are you, a Qi-training monk, in front of me?"

Mu Zhi quietly stared at the man in black robe, looked over his shoulder towards the hole behind him, and said with a smile: "Of course I am useless as a Qi-training monk, but... do you want to look behind you?"

"Are you trying to say that the people who just surrounded and suppressed me have already come after me?"

The man in black robe sneered: "In their eyes, I am already dead by now. I'm afraid they are still slowly looking for you everywhere."

Yes...this is the real confidence of the man in black robe.

Every once in a while, as a demon cultivator, he can shed his skin, and through this layer of 'sloughing', he can fake his death and hide the truth.

However, this molt can only be used when seriously injured. If it is not used, it will automatically expire after a few months.

A monk in the realm of refining the gods can already be arrogant, not to mention that the demon cultivator has innate power, so he rarely uses "sloughing".

This time, he fell into the hands of this kid who was in the Qi training realm.

But now it's all over, and no one will interfere with his actions now.

"Since you are unwilling to hand over the Qi of Heaven, then I will do it myself!"

After the man in black robe said this, he no longer hesitated and raised his hand to grab Mu Zhian.

However, Mu Zhian still didn't make any movement, just watched helplessly as the hand was about to touch him.

The man in black robe stared closely into Mu Zhian's eyes, hoping to see fear in his eyes, and even hoping that his calmness would collapse at this moment and he would kneel down and beg for mercy.

But he saw nothing in Mu Zhian's eyes, only indifference.

What are you still pretending to do now? !

The black-robed man's eyes were filled with murderous intent, and the aura in his palm drew out the spiritual energy, which turned into a sharp blade of nothingness and slashed at Mu Zhian.

bite!

At this moment, a girl behind her unsheathed her sword and blocked the nihilistic blade.

The man in black robe suddenly turned his head and looked. A woman wearing a moon-white dress stood quietly at the entrance of the cave. Her face was covered with a layer of gauze, her figure was convex, and her beautiful eyes were as cold as ice. Watch him.

"...Ayasii Sect."

The man in black robe stared at the woman uncertainly and spoke the name with difficulty.

The Queen has never led demons to invade Dongzhou because of the existence of Liang Yi Sect.

Almost every year, many demon cultivators die at the hands of disciples of the Liang Yi Sect. Although the leader of the demons is powerful, he is unwilling to fight against the empress of the Liang Yi Sect.

Even the sky-swallowing giant python is not sure it can deal with the empress.

To the demon cultivator, Liang Yi Sect is the most deadly enemy among mortal enemies, and they will never stop fighting if they meet.

"Senior sister!" Mu Zhian shouted.

Lan Mulian glanced at Mu Zhian coldly. Even though she didn't say anything, it was not difficult to tell her meaning from her eyes: I am not your senior sister.

Her eyes quickly fell on the man in black robe, and her voice was clear and cold, and she said: "The remnants of the demon cultivator actually ran to the foot of the Liang Yi Sect's mountain. How brave they are."

The man in black robe's eyes flashed slightly, staring at Lan Mulian uncertainly.

He frowned and subconsciously stepped back, his body gradually turning into black mist, as if he wanted to escape.

Lan Mulian raised his finger lightly, and almost at that moment, moon-white light enveloped him from all directions. The light instantly formed a cage, trapping the black mist incarnating the man in black robes.

The seemingly temperatureless light looked extremely hot to the man in black robe, and he could only struggle hard in the cage, but to no avail.

Now seriously injured, he is no match for Lan Mulian and can only become a piece of meat on others' chopping board.

Lan Mulian ignored the incompetent and furious man in black robes, and his eyes inadvertently passed over Bai Ruoxi's body and fell directly on Mu Zhian's body. Under the tulle, there was a faint smile in a pair of magnificent eyes. ,road:

"It looks like I came at the right time."

She stretched out her left hand and opened her palm, and there was a paper crane in her palm.

The paper crane that Mu Zhian just threw out of the cave.

It was through this paper crane that she found Mu Zhian's location.

"Thank you, senior sister." Mu Zhian hugged his fists.

If he hadn't specially written a letter to invite Lan Mulian to come over, he might have ended up here with Bai Ruoxi today.

Sure enough, it was the right decision to hug my senior sister's long legs...

Seeing Lan Mulian's faint "Yes", Mu Zhian continued: "What does senior sister plan to do with him?"

"This demon cultivator is cunning by nature, and I won't be able to control him for too long." Lan Mulian said softly, "It needs to be solved as soon as possible."

The roar in the cage has disappeared. It seems that the man in black robe has given up or passed out.

"Before that, I have something I want to talk to him about," Mu Zhian said.

Lan Mulian glanced at Mu Zhian and nodded gently: "I will control him temporarily."

After saying that, she raised her hand and opened a hole in the cage. When Mu Zhian walked into the "cage", Lan Mulian glanced at Bai Ruoxi again inadvertently.

The girl was also looking at her.

The two looked at each other and then looked away.

The atmosphere seemed awkward and silent.

…

In the 'cage' at this moment, Mu Zhian had slowly walked up to the man in black robe who seemed to have given up struggling.

Although he couldn't see his face clearly, he could probably feel the calmness after giving up the struggle from the black-robed man, which he described as "numb".

He originally thought that a mere Tianxuan City would be a sideways journey for him as a demon cultivator.

He even deliberately investigated all kinds of information about Tianxuan City, and finally chose Mu Zhian, a playboy, because this kind of LSP is always easier to use.

However, who would have thought that in just a short time, he would be played in such a embarrassing manner by such a junior.

"Master Mu, I did underestimate you." The man in black robe spoke slowly.

"Although you are only in the Qi training realm, your strategy is exactly what the Queen needs."

Mu Zhian raised his eyebrows slightly and said, "Are you planning to win over me?"

The man in black robe raised his head and spoke calmly: "Join us and I will introduce you to the seventh seat. With your abilities, you may be able to become the Queen's right-hand man in the future."

Under the gaze of the man in black robe, Mu Zhian slowly walked to the opposite side of him and sat down.

If someone didn't know the truth, they might think that this was a pair of old friends who hadn't seen each other for many years.

"I'm not interested in the demon clan because I'm human." Mu Zhian said.

The man in black robe sneered: "Humans? Are humans really better than monsters? They are intrigues and intrigues, and people in the government and the public are at odds with each other. How many people die from droughts and floods every year, and no rescue measures are taken by the court. "

"In the final analysis, this imperial court is in ruins. If it weren't for the support of the Liang Yi Sect, Dongzhou would have been controlled by the Queen long ago."

"Human beings are no better than monsters, the human heart is even scarier than monsters." Mu Zhian did not deny it, shook his head and said with a smile:

"But I'm not interested in running all the way from Dongzhou to Beizhou. The two places are so far apart. It would be inconvenient if I want to return to Tianxuan City at any time."

"Also, do you think I would still believe what you say in this situation?" Mu Zhian asked.

The man in black robe was silent for a moment.

The two sides were fighting each other and even wanted to kill each other. Now that they suddenly invited someone, even a fool would not believe it, let alone Mu Zhian.

"Actually, I feel quite relaxed chatting with you." Mu Zhian suddenly said.

The man in black robe was slightly startled, but before he could speak, Mu Zhian continued: "Because you have no brain."

Because of his own strength, this demonic cultivator doesn't bother to play any tricks. His purpose is very simple and he can say whatever he wants. It is not so tiring to communicate with such a very 'frank and honest' bad guy.

"The energy of heaven is what that beautiful snake wants?" Mu Zhian changed the subject.

What he was referring to was naturally the leader of the group of demons, the Sky-Swallowing Python Queen.

Hearing Mu Zhian's "insult" to the queen, the man in black robe suddenly raised his head, with unconcealable murderous intent bursting out of his eyes.

But looking at Mu Zhian's indifferent expression, he slowly regained his original calmness.

"Master Mu has solved Ye Yu and brought back the beauty. What are you going to do next? Kill Ye Yu or marry Bai Ruoxi first?" The man in black robe also changed the subject.

What this means is that there is no intention to leak any information about the demon clan.

Mu Zhi'an also knew the truth, so he shook his head: "I won't kill Ye Yu. Of course, I have no plans to get married in the short term."

"You don't want Ye Yu's life, and you don't want Bai Ruoxi, then what do you want?" The man in black robe stared at Mu Zhian.

Mu Zhian raised his head, met his gaze, and suddenly showed a gentle smile.

"I want you dead."
