Master's Chief Disciple

Chapter 174 Please forgive me for my master’s orders, but I must enter this place today!

Mu Qing took the unconscious woman, while Mu Huayan looked for other people nearby. They found Monk Jiuzhao on another big tree. He had fainted and a lot of his spiritual energy had been sucked away. After rescuing him, they looked for Wen Qi and the other two.

But after looking around for a while and finding no trace of them, he returned to the original place and woke up the monk Jiuzhao, "Monk, where are Wen Qi and the others?"

"I did not travel with them. I was separated from them at that time."

"!!!"

"Mu Qing, take good care of them! I'll be back soon!"

Just after taking a few steps, the surrounding vines suddenly attacked them frantically as if they had received some kind of command, "Senior Sister!"

Mu Huayan used a set of sword skills, and in just a moment, all the vines that attacked from all around were turned into powder. But before it was over, another wave of attacks came, and this attack was more fierce and fast than the previous one. "This is not a solution, it seems that the vines in the entire forest are attacking here!"

"Could it be that someone else did this on purpose?"

"In this case, the only thing we can do now is to destroy this!" The originally blue eyes turned red at this moment.

She tried to release her own pressure and aura. The vines seemed to have some humanity and did not dare to fight with her anymore. Instead, they automatically made way for her to pass.

"Humph, it's too late!"

"Flame Dragon Art!" Two huge fire dragons flew out from the formation, and in just a moment the surrounding trees and vines were burned to ashes!

Mu Huayan summoned a flying boat to send Mu Qing and the others to a safe place and said, "Mu Qing, wait for me on the flying boat. I will go find the whereabouts of Wen Qi and the others."

"Senior sister, be careful!"

She nodded and kept jumping in the woods, looking for traces of Wen Qi and the others. "The red fog is still there! As long as it doesn't disperse, we won't be able to sense their whereabouts!"

"There is a way!" Mu Huayan stopped and cast a spell with wind and fire attributes. As the wind blew, the red mist in her consciousness was blown away and the vines were all burned. She took the opportunity to investigate the whereabouts of Wen Qi and the others.

"Found it! How come there are still people from Xinghan Tianzong!"

She saw Wen Qi and Xia Kui leading a few people running in a certain direction, and vines kept attacking them from all around. It looked like their spiritual energy was almost exhausted. If she was a step later, they would probably have died.

She used the Flame Dragon Technique again, forcing the surrounding vines back and landing steadily. Wen Qi and Xia Kui were extremely happy, but their faces were filled with fatigue. "Senior Sister!"

Mu Huayan looked at the people behind them without saying much, "It's very dangerous here, if you have anything to say, get out first!"

After they arrived safely on the flying boat, Wen Qi sighed, "I thought I was really going to use those vines as fertilizer. Fortunately, you came in time, Senior Sister!"

"It's good that nothing happened!" The vines were afraid of Mu Huayan's aura and dared not get close to her.

"Sister Mu, we meet again. I'm grateful to you for saving me just now!" Tang Mengmeng stepped forward and said in a friendly manner, exuding the aura of Taiyi Immortal.

"It doesn't matter!"

"By the way, these are the other disciples of our sect, Song Shixin and Fang Hanyu, and this is Su Yun, whom Sister Mu knows."

She nodded and asked, "How did you get trapped in that forest?"

Su Yun stepped forward to explain, "Sister Mu, one of our fellow disciples was accidentally pulled into the ground by the vines, and we just jumped into the forest to rescue her."

After saying that, she pointed at the rescued Song Shixin and stepped forward to thank her politely, "Song Shixin thanks Sister Mu for rescuing me."

Seeing that she couldn't get to the bottom of the matter, Mu Huayan simply gave up questioning. She realized that Su Yun's realm had actually been cultivated to the level of Daluo Jinxian, while Song Shixin's strength was slightly weaker and she was at the level of Taiyi Immortal, and the other Fang Hanyu's cultivation level was at the level of Dahua Immortal.

Unexpectedly, Su Yun took the initiative to step forward and ask them where they were going, "Excuse me, Sister Mu, are you going to the crack?"

Mu Huayan asked back, "Why do you ask that? Are you going there?"

Su Yun didn't know how to respond and his expression was a little stiff. Song Shixin at the side tried to smooth things over and said, "Sister Mu, to be honest, our mission is to investigate the crack."

"It seems that Sister Mu's flying boat is heading in the direction of the crack. In that case, please give us a ride."

After that, she took out some spiritual herbs and pills from her ring and handed them to her, "Sister Mu, please accept these."

Mu Huayan smiled and rejected her, "I appreciate your kindness, but this Xuanying Continent is extremely dangerous, so it's better for Miss Song to keep these life-saving things."

Seeing that she was still a little embarrassed, Mu Qing stepped forward and said, "Hey, don't be polite with us. We are all in the same boat, so there is no need to be like this."

A few weeks later, Mu Huayan and the others came to the place where the crack was. Su Yun and the others jumped off the flying boat and said goodbye to Mu Huayan and the others, "Sister Mu, everyone, we are going to look for our master. We will say goodbye and see you again if we are destined to do so!"

Mu Huayan and the others watched them leave, feeling very strange, "Senior Sister, why did they go to find that person first? The direction of the crack is clearly on the left!"

Mu Huayan couldn't figure it out either. Perhaps they had to find their master before taking action. "This has nothing to do with us."

Seeing that the crack was right in front of them, they quickened their pace and soon arrived at the crack. "Why is it so quiet here!"

Mu Huayan used her spiritual sense to check the surroundings and found nothing unusual, but the next moment an attack came towards her. She reacted quickly and dodged the attack, "Who is attacking me?"

Mu Qing and the others also looked around vigilantly, with magical weapons in their hands.

Then a man came out from a certain direction. He was dressed in a white robe, with a handsome face and delicate features. He was so beautiful that one could fall in love with him at first sight. "Who is this person who has entered this place?"

He held a glowing blue sword in his hand and released his own pressure as he walked out, "Quasi-Immortal King!"

Except for Mu Huayan, several people were suppressed and fell to the ground. Seeing this, she pushed back the pressure and said, "Why do you draw your swords on us as soon as you meet without asking the reason?"

The man put away his intimidating power and walked up to her with a contemptuous smile, "People who come here are just here to snatch the divine feather. What's there to ask?"

"!!!"

Mu Huayan thought to herself, "Is Shen Yu really here? From what he said, could it be that Wu Xiwen and the others were... I have to get him to say something first."

"We have no ill intentions. We are disciples from the Shen Yang Tian Sect, and we have been ordered to come here to investigate the cracks that appeared here for no reason." After saying that, he pointed to the flickering cracks in the sky.

The man gradually approached Mu Huayan and said sternly, "Two women and a man came here earlier and insisted that Shen Yu was here. Do you know how I dealt with them?"

As he spoke, he raised the sword in his hand, an indescribable sneer appeared on his face, but his eyes never left Mu Huayan's face.

At this moment, she was very calm as she pondered over what he said. "He was testing my background. Could it be that the people he met were not Elder Wu and the others?"

Wen Qi stood up and saw that the man was bullying her, so she rushed forward with a sword to fight him. Mu Huayan shouted to stop him, "No!"

The man snorted coldly and dodged behind him, but Mu Huayan rescued Wen Qi before him, "All of you stand still and don't make any moves. Leave it to me!"

"But I just saw him..."

She shook her head slightly to indicate that it was okay and she could handle it herself.

"If you have any sense, I advise you to leave here as soon as possible. I don't want to cause any more killings in vain!" There was a barely perceptible murderous intent in the man's eyes.

Mu Huayan thought to herself, "He cares so much about this place... Could there be a secret hidden in it? Or maybe Shen Yu is really here!"

"Forgive me for not disobeying my master's order, but I must enter this place today!" As she spoke, she released her own pressure. Since she couldn't get any words out of him, she would use her strength to speak.

The man suppressed the liquid rushing up in his chest. The injuries he had suffered from resisting the foreign enemy had not yet healed. Although he pretended to be fine, his lips gradually turned pale, his face became more and more embarrassed, and cold sweat was pouring down.

Mu Huayan tightened the sword in her hand and noticed the changes in his body. "He is injured... Who can hurt a quasi-immortal king to this extent!"

Mu Huayan put away the sword in her hand and took out the elixir from her ring. The man was very confused when he saw this. She explained, "I don't fight with injured people! Of course, if you insist on fighting me, I don't mind, but I'm afraid you will die."

Mu Huayan thought that instead of taking advantage of his weakness to kill him, it would be better to do the opposite, to heal his wounds and let him tell everything, so she walked towards him without any precautions and stretched out her hand, "If you don't treat your wounds, you can't be saved even if the God comes."

He gradually lost consciousness and then fell down, which saved her from having to knock him out. Wen Qi stepped forward and took the things in her hand, "Senior Sister, let me do it."

Wen Qi was smart enough to see Mu Huayan's intention. He helped the man up and let him sit against a tree trunk. He could see red blood on his chest, which had soaked his white clothes. He carefully took off his outer clothes piece by piece. The stinging sensation in the middle of the process startled him and he said, "What are you doing!"

Wen Qi shook the medicine bottle in his hand and said with a smile, "Of course I'm giving you treatment. Would I poison you?"

The man kept coughing and blood kept flowing out. Wen Qi quickly comforted him and asked him to calm down. "Are you kidding? Are we the kind of people who would take advantage of others' misfortune?"

"I, I can do it myself..." It was the first time for him to be so embarrassed. He raised his hand with difficulty to take the medicine bottle, but the pain made him give up.

Wen Qi rolled his eyes and muttered, "Are all strong people so concerned about their reputation? You're already injured like this, yet you're still trying to be brave!"

After Wen Qi finished bandaging him, he was so tired that he sat down against a tree nearby. Seeing that the pain on the man's face had eased a little, he ran to Mu Huayan.
