So, They Were the Protagonists All Along

At this moment, in the lush Dragon Head Forest, several monks at the God Refining Realm were flying with swords. Gongsun Xiong, who was wearing a luxurious robe, had his hands on his back and his eyes were roaming around the forest, his face looking extremely ugly.

On the side, the guest from the Gongsun family also had a downcast face and was in a very bad mood.

It’s no wonder that Gongsun Xiong invited him to ‘suppress bandits’. As a guest of the Gongsun family, he would naturally agree and didn’t think much about it at first.

But after the Qi of Heaven appeared... everything changed.

No one would care about such a rare treasure in the world.

Seeing the treasure that was so close to him disappearing out of thin air, he was already quite restrained in not bursting out immediately.

Gongsun Xiong flew in the air with his sword, turned to look at the old man of the Mu family and Wei Mengrou, and said in a cold voice: "Mr. Ren, Miss Wei, can you explain to me what Master Mu did in private when we were encircling and suppressing the man in black robe?" Where did the Bai family girl go? "

Mr. Ren didn't even bother to raise his eyelids, he sat leisurely on the flying sword and said calmly: "The two young people have a good relationship, and it is inevitable that some sparks will come out of the collision. Maybe they can't help but go to the depths of the forest to solve something. "

Gongsun Xiong narrowed his eyes: "Do you believe this?"

"Shortly after Mu Zhian and Bai Ruoxi left, the Qi of Heaven disappeared. This really cannot be justified. The Mu family is powerful in Tianxuan City, but I still hope to give us an explanation." Mr. Tian from the Chenxi Chamber of Commerce also said the same. He stood with the Gongsun family.

Ye Yu managed to control the sword with the help of the old man in his body. Hearing this, he immediately said in a cold voice: "I just said that there is definitely something wrong with Mu Zhian. He just knew that I had the aura of heaven in my body, so he killed me." Lead to the Dragon Head Forest."

"The fight against bandits is all just a cover. His goal from the beginning was the energy of heaven!"

Mr. Ren said calmly: "Until the truth comes out, don't talk nonsense."

He raised his hand and grabbed out a small birdcage out of thin air. Among the bird dragons was the accomplice of the man in black robe who had just been killed.

That was his soul, and at this moment, Mr. Ren used a special secret method to imprison him in it.

"Maybe the man in black robe stole the energy of heaven?" Mr. Ren continued.

Gongsun Xiong snorted coldly: "The man in black robe just died an unexpected death. Could it be that he has some accomplices?"

"If he had an accomplice, he would not have ended up like that."

"That's not necessarily the case." Mr. Ren smiled slightly.

But when he looked away, his pale brows frowned inadvertently.

If it was really the young master who took away the Qi of Heaven, it would be a good thing, but not entirely a good thing.

For the sake of heavenly energy, the Gongsun family, Chenxi Chamber of Commerce, and maybe even the Mu family would dare to pounce on him and take a few bites... which would cause some trouble.

"They're there."

At this time, the guest from Gongsun's family suddenly pointed to the cave entrance ahead.

I can only see behind a certain lush tree, the leaves slightly blocking people's vision, the sun shines through the branches and leaves, and mottled light spots move on the ground.

In front of the cave entrance, Mu Zhian and Bai Ruoxi were standing there. They obviously noticed someone approaching in mid-air.

Mu Zhian raised his head slightly and saw Gong Sunxiong and others falling from mid-air. Several people stared at him with gloomy faces.

Mu Zhian showed a warm smile and said, "Uncle Gongsun, it seems that you have solved it over there?"

Gongsun Xiong was obviously not in the mood to play the "uncle and nephew" game with Mu Zhian. He just nodded lightly, went straight to the point, and said in a deep voice: "The aura of heaven has disappeared."

Mu Zhian was slightly startled.

Then, after being stunned for a while, he opened his mouth slightly, with a bit of surprise in his eyes, fully demonstrating what an actor's self-cultivation is.

"Has the Qi of Heaven been stolen by someone?" Mu Zhian asked in surprise.

Gongsun Xiong squinted his eyes, stared at Mu Zhian, and said, "Where did nephew Mu just go?"

"The Qi of Heaven disappeared not long after you left. Isn't it a coincidence?" Mr. Tian on the side also stared at Mu Zhian.

"We went after the clone of the man in black robe." Mu Zhian said.

Gongsun Xiong obviously didn't believe it and said: "The man in black robe was killed by us just now."

Mu Zhian shook his head slowly: "Uncle, I don't know. This black-robed man is actually a snake demon. He had previously used the method of 'sloughing' to conceal the truth. The situation was urgent, and Ruoxi and I discovered this." That’s why I went after the man in black robe.”

"By escaping in front of several God Refining Realm monks, are you treating your uncle and everyone present as idiots, nephew Mu?" Gongsun Xiong said in a bad tone.

"Of course you don't believe me when I tell you, but since the soul of his accomplice is trapped in a cage by Mr. Ren, my uncle will know it as soon as he asks." Mu Zhian looked at the birdcage in Mr. Ren's hand.

Gongsun Xiong stared into Mu Zhian's eyes suspiciously. To be honest, he didn't believe what Mu Zhian said, but the other person's calmness made him have doubts.

After all, Mu Zhian is highly suspicious of the disappearance of the Qi of Heaven, but the question is... can a young monk in the Qi training realm still control the Qi of Heaven?

Gongsun Xiong turned to look at the old man and said, "Mr. Ren, please release this evil cultivator's soul and question him."

Mr. Ren nodded slightly and opened the birdcage.

The spirit of the demon cultivator was floating in mid-air, its pupils were dim, as if it had no consciousness of its own.

Ren Lao glanced at Mu Zhian casually. After confirming that there was no panic on Mu Zhian's face, he withdrew his gaze, looked at the demon cultivator, and said, "Will your companions know how to do it?" A way to cheat death?"

"When seriously injured, he can shed his skin and fake death once." The demon cultivator's emotionless voice reached everyone's ears.

There was silence in front of the cave entrance.

"What is your purpose?" Mu Zhian suddenly asked.

"Meet up with the companions in Tianxuan City and help them use Tianxuan City as one of their strongholds to seize the energy of heaven." The demon cultivator replied in an emotionless voice.

Everyone present looked at each other.

What this demon cultivator means is that there are other companions in Tianxuan City.

Gongsun Xiong asked in a deep voice: "Who is it?"

However, this time, the demon cultivator's soul did not answer, but just floated in mid-air, his eyes dull.

His mouth slowly opened, but he never uttered another syllable.

After a long time, the body slowly became illusory, until it finally disappeared into the air.

It suddenly seemed a little quiet in front of the cave entrance.

Mu Zhian said solemnly: "It seems that there are other demon cultivators lurking in Tianxuan City... The Qi of Heaven was stolen by them."

Gongsun Xiong's face looked a little ugly, but he couldn't say anything else.

Although he was still skeptical, if he continued to press Mu Zhian, it would only arouse the dissatisfaction of the Mu family.

Moreover, rather than believing that Mu Zhian could control the Qi of Heaven, Gongsun Xiong believed that the Qi of Heaven was stolen by the mysterious demon cultivator in Tianxuan City.

At this time, Ye Yu suddenly stared at Mu Zhian and said: "Master Mu, you keep saying that the Qi of Heaven may have been stolen by demon cultivators, but how can you explain that you and Miss Bai have disappeared for such a long time? ?”

Mu Zhian shook his head and smiled: "As I said just now, Ruoxi and I went after the man in black robes. It's just a pity that even though he was seriously injured, he was still a monk in the realm of refining gods, so we didn't dare to pursue him deeply. Ruoxi was He was also injured a little bit.”

Ye Yu still refused to give up and said: "You are also suspected of stealing the energy of heaven."

Mu Zhian shook his head and smiled: "Master Ye, don't say that I didn't steal the Qi of Heaven, so what if I did?"

Ye Yu hesitated slightly, but because Wei Mengrou and Ren Lao were beside him, he still suppressed his anger and said: "That's my thing!"

"Since it is your thing, why did it leave instead of choosing you in the end?" Mu Zhian asked.

"And you picked this thing up from outside, right? You have to turn in the things you pick up." Mu Zhian said seriously.

Ye Yu was obviously stagnant. Although he knew that what Mu Zhian said was unreasonable, he didn't know how to refute it.

It was true that he picked up the Qi of Heaven, and later the Qi of Heaven did not choose it, but disappeared... Even so, Ye Yu clenched his fists unwillingly and stared into Mu Zhian's eyes.

Mu Zhian ignored Ye Yu, turned to look at Gongsun Xiong, and said with a smile, "Uncle Gongsun, are you still doubting me now?"

Gongsun Xiong's eyes flashed slightly, and then he laughed heartily and said: "It's good that the misunderstanding has been resolved. In fact, I have always believed in nephew Mu, but after seeing the aura of heaven disappear, it is inevitable that I will be a little anxious. The tone of his voice just now It’s a bit too much, I hope you don’t blame uncle.”

As he spoke, he changed his voice and asked: "Where did the man in black go? Do you have any clues, nephew Mu?"

"Killed by disciples of Liangyi Sect." Mu Zhian said.

"Disciples of the Liang Yi Sect..."

Gongsun Xiong repeated it, and then, as if he thought of something, his eyes suddenly became a little more fiery and he asked:

"Are you one of the assessors for this sect assessment?"

In less than half a month, the Liangyi Sect's sect examination will begin. With so many descendants of the Gongsun family, if they can receive the examiner in advance and establish a good relationship with him, they might be able to use the back door later.

Under normal circumstances, the examiners of Liangyi Sect would not go down the mountain in advance. This time, the other party came down early, probably because of the man in black robe.

...This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

Not only Gongsun Xiong, but Mr. Tian from Chenxi Chamber of Commerce and even the old man from the Mu family became more active.

The Mu family has a quota that can be recommended to the Liangyi Sect, but if you can make good friends with it and get one or two more quotas, that would be even better...

This opportunity to receive the assessor must be won.

Although the whereabouts of the Qi of Heaven were not found in the end, Gongsun Xiong was obviously a person who knew how to maximize interests. He immediately made up his mind and said: "Guys, I still have something to do. Since the two demon cultivators are dead, then I will Go back first.”

Now go back and tell your servants to wait outside Tianxuan City. Maybe they can wait until the assessor enters the city.

Mr. Tian also cupped his hands and said, "I have something to do, so I'll take my leave now."

Mu Zhian smiled and nodded: "Tian, ​​take care."

He glanced at Gongsun Xiong who was about to leave again, and continued: "Uncle Gongsun, I'm afraid you can't leave yet."

Gongsun Xiong paused slightly, turned to look over, and said with a smile, "Nephew Mu, is there anything else you want to say?"

"My innocence has been cleared, but my uncle's innocence has not yet been cleared," Mu Zhian said.

Gongsun Xiong frowned slightly and said, "What do you mean?"

"It's some personal issues that uncle needs to solve by himself." Mu Zhian said with a smile.

He pulled Bai Ruoxi back.

At this time, an astonishing murderous intent suddenly came from the distance. Gongsun Xiong's body tensed slightly. He could feel that this murderous intent was directed at him!

He turned around and looked. At the end of his sight, a monk with a strong physique and a sword was attacking fiercely. One second he was still far away, but the next second he was close at hand.

It is Father Bai who is in full condition after recuperating and recuperating.

The terrifying aura of the reckless man completely enveloped Gongsun Xiong, causing the smile on the face of the man who had always been a strategist in the Gongsun family to freeze slightly.

He was in poor condition after the battle with the man in black robe. It was really difficult to face Father Bai who was at the peak of his god refining.

"Ruoxi, let's go back first." Mu Zhian said in a low voice.

Bai Ruoxi had a worried look in her eyes and said softly: "But dad..."

"Don't worry, he's fine."

Mu Zhian glanced at Gongsun Xiong lightly and said softly:

"But for him, that's not necessarily the case."

These monks in the God Refining Realm had just fought with the men in black robes and were in a bad state. Faced with a furious Father Bai and the two guards around him, the guests of the Gongsun family would naturally not fight hard.

And in this case, it was Gongsun Xiong who suffered.

When Bai Ruoxi heard this, she could only say "yes" lightly, and under the leadership of Wei Mengrou, she left the battlefield where a terrifying battle was about to break out.

On this day, Gongsun Xiong was seriously injured.

And on this day, the news that one of the examiners from the Liangyi Sect came down the mountain to Tianxuan City immediately spread throughout Tianxuan City, arousing heated discussion among people.
