Chapter 122

"Today, it's either you die or I die!"

Saying this, Chen Mu pulled out his long sword. Seeing this, Zhao Zhengping struck quickly and stopped him.

"Junior Brother, what are you doing? Calm down! Xiaobai is the great hero this time."

If he hadn't said it, it would be fine, but as soon as these words were spoken, Chen Mu trembled with anger. Great hero? Who? This beast? Besides twitching a few times in the Spirit Beast Garden, what did it do?

Hearing Zhao Zhengping say that Xiaobai was the great hero this time, Chen Mu's eyes turned red.

But before he could speak, the disciples spoke one after another.

"What's wrong with Senior Brother Chen?"

"Yeah, didn't Senior Brother Chen go with Xiaobai before? Why did you come back separately?"

"Did something happen on the way?"

The disciples finally realized that Chen Mu had also gone to the Blacksmith Valley.

But why was he so miserable?

Hearing the disciples' discussion, Chen Mu gripped his long sword tightly and glared.

"Stop talking nonsense! You beast, dare to come out and fight me? If I don't kill you, my name isn't Chen Mu!"

"Junior Brother, calm down. Tell us clearly what happened."

"What else is there to say? Today, either it's here or I am."

"But Xiaobai is Junior Brother Changqing's mount."

"I..."

Finally, under Zhao Zhengping's persuasion, Chen Mu finally told the story slowly.

Everything was fine when they went, but when they returned to Yanmu Mountain, for some reason, a great demon at the Heavenly Demon realm suddenly rioted.

Chen Mu's first reaction was to run away. Although he was the number one inner disciple of Divine Sword Peak, his cultivation was only at the Nascent Soul realm, so he was naturally no match for a Heavenly Demon realm great demon.

Speaking of this, Chen Mu looked at Xiaobai with red eyes and gritted his teeth.

"But who knew this beast would actually use me as bait to exchange for its own escape? Fortunately, I met Junior Brother Wang, and the two of us joined forces, so we luckily escaped back."

The Junior Brother Wang that Chen Mu spoke of was the person who came with him, also an inner disciple of Divine Sword Peak, but he had gone out for life-and-death training before and was not in the sect.

This time, he also met Chen Mu and heard that Divine Sword Peak had already entered the Near-Sea Camp, so they came together.

Seeing Chen Mu look at him gratefully, Junior Brother Wang smiled unnaturally.

However, Chen Mu, who was in a fit of anger, didn't notice this and kept glaring at Xiaobai with anger.

Learning the sequence of events, the disciples fell into silence.

Although Divine Sword Peak was unscrupulous in its daily life, abandoning fellow disciples was absolutely a major taboo, especially when facing external enemies.

For a time, the disciples' eyes on Xiaobai became unkind, and even Ye Changqing showed blame.

When they were together, they could fight and play, but when facing external enemies, how could they abandon their companions and steal their own lives?

Facing everyone's gaze, Xiaobai kept calling out anxiously, flapping its wings, as if it were explaining something.

It was just that this guy couldn't speak human language yet, so everyone didn't know what it was saying.

"Xiaobai, you this time..."

Stepping forward, looking at Xiaobai with a stern gaze, he was about to say something when suddenly a fluctuation came from outside the formation.

"Someone is attacking the formation!"

Such a shocking change instantly attracted the attention of the disciples, especially since this direction wasn't the East Sea, but from Dongzhou.

Who was attacking the formation? Could it be those demon beasts from Huling again?

Not daring to be slow, the disciples soon arrived at the entrance of the formation, only to see two large green birds attacking the formation crazily.

"Green Feather Phoenix?"

Zhao Zhengping recognized these two demon beasts at a glance. They were collectively called Green Feather Phoenix, but the male was called Green Feather Phoenix, and the female was called Green Feather Phoenix, possessing a trace of phoenix bloodline.

Under normal circumstances, Green Feather Phoenixes were one male and one female, and it was rare for them to appear separately.

But why were these Green Feather Phoenixes attacking the grand formation?

Everyone looked at the Green Feather Phoenixes attacking the formation crazily outside, their hearts full of confusion.

"It's it! It's this great demon that chased Junior Brother Wang and me all the way!"

At this time, Chen Mu shouted loudly, recognizing that Green Feather Phoenix at a glance.

And hearing this, Ye Changqing frowned slightly, looked at Xiaobai who was still cackling beside him, trying hard to explain, and seemed to know something.

"Senior Brother Chen Mu, you said before that there was only one great demon chasing you?"

"Correct."

"But it is well known that Green Feather Phoenixes are in pairs. Since the Green Feather Phoenix chased you, what about the Green Feather Phoenix? There is no reason for it not to appear."

"This..."

Chen Mu also felt strange. Seeing this, Ye Changqing turned to look at Xiaobai again.

"So the Green Feather Phoenix was lured away by you?"

Hearing this, Xiaobai nodded repeatedly, with an expression of "you finally know, it wasn't me."

The truth was revealed. Xiaobai didn't abandon Chen Mu to escape alone, but went to lure away the Green Feather Phoenix.

Feeling ashamed, Chen Mu looked at Xiaobai embarrassedly and apologized.

"Xiaobai, I..."

Now it was Xiaobai's turn to be unhappy. It turned its head away, didn't look at Chen Mu, and made two dissatisfied cackling sounds.

To this, Chen Mu naturally had no temper. Who told him to misunderstand Xiaobai?

At this moment, the Green Feather Phoenix outside the formation spoke angrily.

"Despicable humans! Stealing my treasury, if you have the ability, don't come out for the rest of your lives!"

As soon as these words were spoken, the disciples were stunned, and then everyone was confused.

"Treasury? What treasury?"

"I don't know. It seems someone stole their treasury, so they chased them all the way here."

"These two stupid birds, how could they chase to the Near-Sea Camp when something is lost? Don't they know that our Divine Sword Peak is stationed at the Near-Sea Camp and hasn't left recently?"

"Exactly, and they don't use their brains."

How could the treasury being stolen lead to their Near-Sea Camp?

Everyone discussed, only Junior Brother Wang had a strange expression, and Chen Mu seemed to realize something at this time. He turned to look at Junior Brother Wang, a "gentle" smile on his face.

"Junior Brother Wang, the person that beast is talking about wouldn't be you, right?"

Hearing this, Junior Brother Wang smiled sheepishly and said without any confidence.

"Ho... how could that be, Senior Brother?"

"Oh, is it really not? Junior Brother, think clearly before speaking. Senior Brother is very angry right now."

I don't know when, but a long sword had been placed on his neck. The sword edge was cold, and combined with Chen Mu's "gentle" smile, Junior Brother Wang swallowed his saliva and said stutteringly.

"That... that... I didn't mean to. At that time, seeing Senior Brother's anger, I didn't dare to say it."

Listening to Junior Brother Wang's explanation, Chen Mu's smile became even more "gentle."

He just said, why would that Green Feather Phoenix suddenly be furious and attack him and Xiaobai without a word, without any reason at all.

It turns out it was all the trouble you caused.

Later, when they met, this kid didn't say anything, making Chen Mu feel full of gratitude, thinking that Junior Brother Wang saved him. If it weren't for him, if the two joined forces, they might not have been able to run away.

It turns out it was all because of you, kid.

The sword edge approached again, already sticking to Junior Brother Wang's neck. The cold touch made Junior Brother Wang shiver instantly, and he said quickly.

"Senior Brother, calm down! Junior Brother, I really didn't hide it on purpose. It was really your state at the time, I didn't dare to say it."

"So that's my fault then?"

"No, no, no, my fault, my fault."

"Junior Brother, tell me, I went to the Blacksmith Valley alone to forge a precious knife. Was it hard?"

"Hard, hard."

"It was hard enough, but on the way back, I was inexplicably chased by a Heavenly Demon realm great demon. Was I wronged?"

"Wronged, wronged."

"Escaping all the way, the culprit was by my side, and I was still grateful to him. Do you think you deserve to die?"

"Deserve to die, deserve... no, no, no, Senior Brother, I really didn't mean it."
