Chapter 2039: Mu Su's Methods

What did Qingyang just say?

Muwang Ding.

Did she put the lid on the cauldron?

The two guards took out glowing spores and illuminated this space.

Everyone suddenly discovered that Nan Ronghe was still standing in place!

He looked at everyone with a dazed expression, then looked up and around, as if he didn't know what had happened.

The guard raised his sword and pointed it at him, shouting angrily: "Traitor, die!"

"What?" Nan Ronghe was startled, then shouted loudly: "Wait, I'm not! I didn't!"

Now it's a matter of life and death, his speech came out rapid-fire like a string of firecrackers: "I went to Huanxi to visit my sick daughter, and ended up being ambushed, and was accidentally controlled by something possessing her!"

Elder Shituo grunted twice: "Not too early, not too late, why are you waking up now?"

Nan Ronghe hurriedly said: "That thing just slipped away, I—I just came to!"

He Lingchuan raised his hand to stop the guard: "Wait."

If Nan Ronghe is truly a traitor, why did Qingyang leave him alone?

He Lingchuan raised his hand and summoned a large mirror beside him, its surface bright and clear like a pool of autumn water.

Haoyuan Golden Mirror.

Although it doesn't have the miraculous versatility of the Upside-Down Sea, nor does it allow effortless travel, it still has several practical little functions, such as:

He Lingchuan raised his hand and flicked the Haoyuan Golden Mirror back and forth in midair twice, and the mirror surface switched like a revolving lantern, so fast that no one could see clearly.

When it stopped, the image was actually replaying from when He Lingchuan and the others were transported here, all the way until Qingyang left.

Except that its shooting angle was tricky, namely from the rear side of Nan Ronghe.

Besides the Haoyuan Golden Mirror, no one could achieve a 360-degree blind-spot-free shot.

The soul-capturing mirror in He Lingchuan's bosom let out an unhappy hum.

The Haoyuan Golden Mirror also thoughtfully slowed down, so everyone could clearly see that, at the same time Elder Shituo and He Lingchuan attacked Qingyang, a dark red shadow shot out from Nan Ronghe's left ear, dove into the ground, and vanished instantly.

Seeing this, everyone finally confirmed that Nan Ronghe was telling the truth.

He had indeed been possessed earlier.

Nan Ronghe himself let out a great sigh of relief.

The thing that escaped from his body was slender and long, with branches, looking at first glance like a bamboo insect.

He Lingchuan spread his five fingers, freezing the image and instantly enlarging it.

This object was originally only one finger long, but now it had also been enlarged ten times, making its local features much clearer.

"It's not a worm, it's a sapling! It's Mu Su's sapling!" Elder Shituo affirmed, "See these two needle-like leaves? This is for entering the brain region."

He Lingchuan paused: "True Monarch Mu Su?"

That name is truly long-unheard. He Lingchuan last heard it when the Jade Rules from the Frost Leaf National Master's faction invaded the Yangshan Islands.

At that time, Jade Rules' subordinates went to capture Zhu Erniang, using the incarnation of True Monarch Mu Su, which was also several tree seeds.

I didn't expect True Monarch Mu Su's sapling to have so many variations. "Is this also an incarnation of True Monarch Mu Su?"

"Not an incarnation!" Elder Shituo said seriously, "It's a seedling, directly obeying Mu Su. You can understand it as: a person or monster implanted with the seedling has every word and deed completely controlled by Mu Su. But it cannot stray too far from Mu Su's true form, or it will fail!"

He Lingchuan suddenly understood.

No wonder Jade Rules couldn't use this kind of human-controlling divine power back then, otherwise it would have caused He Lingchuan even greater trouble.

But True Monarch Mu Su is an immortal worshipped by the Bekka, so why is he appearing here?

He Lingchuan turned his eyes and immediately understood:

"It seems, Bekka's support for Qingyang has arrived."

The gods and Bekka's elite forces deployed at the tip of the Jinjin Plains were basically all taken by Miao Zhantian into the Upside-Down Sea to wreak havoc. Qingyang, facing He Lingchuan, still wanted to put up a fight, so he could only get supplies from his old employer. Calculating the time, it's now been over half a year since the Upside-Down Sea battle, and Bekka's support has also arrived.

It came quite fast, according to He Lingchuan's understanding of Bekka. This shows the Demon Emperor still cares about the Jinjin Plains, and even about Qingyang.

Elder Shituo let out a loud nasal sound: "Don't worry, I and my senior brother have our own communication method. We encountered danger here, and my senior brother will come quickly!"

He Lingchuan nodded, but actually wasn't optimistic. How long did Qingyang plan before launching this sneak attack, before catching him alone?

If they don't properly entertain He Lingchuan, then it wouldn't be Qingyang.

He drew out the Dragon-Piercing Spear, secretly channeling his strength, and fiercely hurled it at the wall.

When the Dragon-Piercing Spear was thrown, it carried a hidden sound of wind and thunder. He Lingchuan had tested it: his full-powered throw could pierce the arm of a Golden Armor Divine General!

Upon hitting the wall, the spear shaft trembled incessantly, each tremor delivering a massive shock to the wall. Even a one-zhang-thick, finely crafted rammed earth wall would collapse after two shakes. Back then, the Chao Lake Night Demon King could use its predecessor, the trident, to trigger a tsunami—its power can be imagined.

Who would have thought this wall mixed soil, stone, and tree roots, looking rough but actually having astonishing hardness? Although the Dragon-Piercing Spear's tremors could shake the entire space, it just wouldn't break!

Elder Shituo didn't waste words, pulled back to gain momentum, lowered his head, and charged toward the wall.

When exerting full force, its body actually shrank.

……

Behind the Dragon God Army's main camp, there is a waterfall that flows year-round.

However, just as Shituo lowered his head to strike the Muwang Ding, the water curtain suddenly paused, as if someone had pressed pause.

Immediately after, a yellow light shot out, heading straight for the Dragon God Army's main camp.

It didn't conceal its movement, and while flying, it still carried the sound of wind and thunder.

The camp was instantly alerted, the guarding soldiers took up their weapons and formed ranks, rushing out shouting: "Who goes there!"

"It's me." The yellow light stopped, revealing a person: "Where is Shituo? I want to see the Emperor."

The soldiers recognized this person as the Immortal Liu Qingdao, didn't dare to neglect him, and someone flew back to the camp to report.

Not long after, Tao Ran and Dong Rui rode out of the camp: "Immortal Liu, the Emperor and Immortal Shituo went to Luofeng Pond. Nan Ronghe is currently capturing a monster that can speak the language of the demons. We just received an alert here, the Emperor and Immortal Shituo..."

"Something happened, right?" Liu Qingdao interrupted him, "Your junior brother Shituo also notified me. Where is Luofeng Pond located?"

Dong Rui immediately said: "I know, I'll take you there!"

He patted the monkey on his shoulder, the monkey landed and turned into a giant ape, which then lifted him onto its shoulder, and immediately, following Dong Rui's instructions, strode toward Luofeng Pond with great speed.

It was running and jumping, its speed several times faster than a horse's. Dong Rui consciously put on his helmet and face veil, lest his face be blown flat by the wind.

Liu Qingdao flicked his sleeve, also turning into a yellow light and following.

In the blink of an eye, this pair had gone far away.

These two powerful ones rushed ahead first, and Tao Ran also relaxed a little.

Just a few dozen breaths ago, the army also received a transmission of Qianqian Jie from Luofeng Pond, which was actually just the sudden breaking of the grass knot, meaning only one thing:

Something had happened, send reinforcements quickly!
