Master's Chief Disciple

Chapter 259 The only clue

At this time, Su Yu rushed over and saw this scene. She covered her mouth in disbelief and was extremely surprised, "Captain Hou! Why are you the accomplice?"

Mu Huayan's eyes were fixed on his face. When she saw him move, she moved the short blade closer to his neck, "Answer my question!"

"I, I was just blinded by interests and did such a thing just now." His eyes looked away as he spoke.

"You're full of lies!"

Mu Huayan was so angry that she raised the short blade and slashed his right arm, with murderous intent in her eyes, "If you don't tell the truth, it will pierce your heart immediately!"

He was so frightened that his chest rose and fell violently, and his face turned pale. "I, I was instructed by someone to do this, but I don't know who that person is, because every time he comes, he is dressed in black and wears a mask."

"Also, I am not from the Blood Demon Sect. I am just a guard captain in the Marquis's mansion."

"So how did you get in touch?"

"He, he gave me a messenger squirrel, and I tell that little guy whenever I have news."

"Tell that person that your whereabouts have been exposed, and let him find a way to solve it."

Mu Huayan winked at him and he understood and called the squirrel out. Mu Huayan told him that she would not kill him as long as he did as Mu Huayan said.

A few minutes later, the captain of the guards met him at the door of a cloth shop opposite the mansion. Before he could speak, the man in black pulled out a sharp blade from his sleeve.

When the sharp blade was about to cut his skin, the chief guard reached out and grabbed the wrist of the man. The next moment, there was a snap and the whole arm of the man in black was almost broken.

It hurt so much that one could hear the violent panting under the mask. The man in black took a few steps back and released a few hidden arrows, but they were crushed in an instant.

The next moment, the head guard transformed into Mu Huayan's appearance. Seeing something was wrong, the man in black turned around and tried to run away, but was held down by Mu Huayan's shoulders.

With a bang, the man in black was pinned to the ground by her. Then, she hit him on the back of his head. When he woke up again, he was tied to a wooden stake in the martial arts training ground.

Mu Huayan played with the short blade in her hand, and with a clang, the short blade nailed to the wooden stake behind his head. In desperation, he struggled to pull off the rope.

Mu Huayan drew out the short blade and slashed the man's mask into pieces, revealing a handsome face. He looked down at Mu Huayan with a bit of sharpness and hatred in his eyes.

Mu Huayan felt uncomfortable being stared at. She hated being stared at so fiercely. Several short blades appeared out of thin air and stabbed at the man's face with a whoosh.

The man lost his ruthlessness in an instant, replaced by a look of fear. He closed his eyes and shrank his neck. The next moment, Mu Huayan's cold voice rang out, "Tell me everything you know while you're still alive, or I'll kill you and search your soul!"

He didn't expect that he would be caught by her this time after he came to warn her last time. But in order to save his life, he had to tell her everything he knew.

It turned out that he had just joined the Blood Demon Sect not long ago, but he had never seen the Blood Demon Sect before. He only knew a few people from the Blood Demon Sect, and his mission was assigned to him by the people from the Blood Demon Sect.

But the person who assigned him the task was random, and they didn't know each other or each other's other identities. He was told that the task was to track the whereabouts of Mu Huayan and others.

They also reported their every move to the demon cultivators in charge, but those demon cultivators usually came and went without a trace, making it difficult to locate them.

The way they passed messages was also unique. They didn't transmit messages face to face. When he was about to tell how they transmitted messages, an explosion resounded through the sky.

Then a space opened up and many monsters ran out screaming. Before she could judge the situation clearly, hundreds of monsters had already attacked the people in the martial arts training ground.

These monsters were basically troublesome monsters below level 11. The huge martial arts training ground was suddenly filled with fighting sounds. Mu Huayan had already sensed something was wrong and was about to set up a barrier,

Another space opened up behind her, and an untransformed demon king threw a red chain at her. She dodged the attack with a somersault.

Su Yu was also attacked while escorting the guard captain Hou. She didn't pay attention and a green arrow pierced his forehead at high speed. In an instant, he turned into a pile of bones.

The poison arrow was nailed to the pillar for a while and then emitted a lot of green poisonous smoke. Su Yu had to cover her mouth and nose and withdraw from the fighting range.

The demon king used ten moves but failed to hurt Mu Huayan at all. No matter how strong this demon king was, he was at the peak of the ancestral realm. It was reasonable for her, who was at the extreme wilderness realm, to not be able to withstand ten moves.

Suddenly, a sharp arrow flew towards them at ten times the speed. Mu Huayan judged that the target of the arrow was the hostage. Killing him to silence him would definitely not let you get what you want.

She concentrated her mind for a few moments and summoned a bow. It was Bai Yu's Dragon Roar White Feather Bow. Three sharp arrows with cold air swallowed up the poisonous arrows.

Then they flew towards the place where the poison arrows were fired at ten times the speed. Wherever the ice arrows passed, everything turned into ice sculptures. The people on the opposite side only had time to shoot one sharp arrow to resist the attack.

Although the masked man finally managed to resist the arrow's attack, he was still injured and blood was flowing from the corner of his mouth.

Mu Huayan did not break free from her own restraints but she managed to get rid of a demon king. The strength of the Extreme Desolate Realm was still no problem. She knocked it to the ground with just two moves.

But when she came to her senses, the person tied up had already broken free from the immortal rope and escaped underground. Mu Huayan drew her bow again and aimed it at the direction where he was escaping. "Want to escape? That depends on whether you can dodge this sharp arrow!"

Three sharp arrows of different attributes streaked through the sky, pierced through the trees, and finally fell to the ground and turned into ice spikes. The man in black was hit by an arrow in the back in time to dodge. Although it was not a fatal injury, it made him lose the strength to escape.

But when Mu Huayan arrived, a poison arrow pierced the black-clothed man's heart and headed straight for Mu Huayan. She was a little angry when she saw the hostage turned into a cold corpse.

She dodged the arrow by leaning sideways and grabbed it with her backhand and threw it far away, but the masked man was very smart and killed the hostage and then opened up a space to escape. The arrow was only an inch away from his body.

She no longer wanted to fight and ran back to the mansion to clean up the remaining monsters. The clues were cut off here, and their whereabouts were also exposed.

But they came to a conclusion: the Blood Demon Sect would not personally go out to deliver information or carry out missions, but would specifically find human cultivators as intermediaries to deliver information.

Even the monks sent to carry out the mission were innocent, and no one knew how they convinced these monks to work for them. This made it even more difficult for Mu Huayan and the others to continue their investigation.

The Blood Demon Sect was also smart and knew how to kill someone with someone else's knife. They would rather hide underground like a stinking rat than show up and lose their lives.

After cleaning up the battlefield, Mu Huayan took Mu Qing to track down the man she had cast a tracking spell on that day. Mu Qing also forgot to tell her that he had been hit by a poison arrow some time ago.

They followed him all the way to the capital of Dongli. In a pleasure boat called Yougeng, a banquet was being held on the boat. The man they were following was shining with an icy blue light inside the boat.

That light was the spell mark of Mu Huayan. Fortunately, this person was only an Immortal King and had no way of realizing that he was under a spell mark.

"Senior Sister, how can we take down that man?" Mu Qing asked, hunched over.

There are several cultivators in the Extreme Wilderness Realm on this boat. If they use their spiritual sense, they will definitely be discovered. This person is smart enough to run so far away to avoid being tracked.

To be on the safe side, Mu Huayan was still hiding among a group of experts. She observed the surroundings and found a talent show at Huarong Pavilion not far away.

"This is easy, follow me."

Mu Huayan told Mu Qingyan about her plan, one of which was to let Mu Qing sneak in and sing and dance, while Mu Huayan would hide in the dark and find the right time to take him down.

"Ah? But I..." Mu Qing was a little embarrassed.

Mu Huayan stood behind her and lifted her face and pointed to the Xianran shop opposite Huarong Pavilion. "There are clothes worn by immortal cultivators there. As long as you complete this task, I will buy you a few sets. How about that?"

She immediately agreed to Mu Huayan without any worries. Mu Huayan bribed the boss of Huarong Pavilion to spread the news that she would perform a dance later.

All the dignitaries around rushed over here, and even the people in the pleasure boat stuck their heads out after hearing the news.

As a soft melody sounded, a woman in a red dance dress gracefully leaped into the air, as beautiful and moving as a dancing red butterfly.

This person was Mu Qing, and there were many dancers in green dresses beside her. In an instant, everyone's attention was focused on this beautiful dance.
