But he didn't notice when he walked out of the library. He Qingmeng was stunned at first, and then suddenly smiled with interest, which was completely different from his usual expression.
Chapter 201 Emperor Wu I
Hong Fu controlled the movement of the library. While the mechanism was operating, Liu Yuan and He Qingmeng quickly returned to where everyone was originally.
"How is it?" Tang Yuanhua stepped forward and asked, "Can Miss Qingmeng's clues help us find the library where the Washing Marrow Sutra is located?"
There was also some urgency in the eyes of the others. Coming here actually meant that they were basically only one step away from inheriting the Martial Emperor's legacy. Now the mission target was right in front of them. They had been waiting patiently before, but now they all more or less revealed their true desire in their hearts.
After all, they accepted the mission from Qingxie Fang with a clear goal. If they fail to obtain the items required for the mission and the rewards given by Qingxie Fang, then all the risks they took and the things they lost before will be in vain, and no one can accept this.
Moreover, the Qingxie Fangzi fee was downgraded and there were corresponding punishment measures, which was equivalent to a deduction.
This was a very exhausting trip, but not only did I gain nothing, I even lost money. It was basically for nothing.
It is no wonder that they are more eager for missions than for other things. Even a character like Liu Yuan, who is obviously not an ordinary person, does not have much concern or desire to communicate.
Unlike Tang Yuanhua, he makes friends with a purpose.
After all, people like Tang Yuanhua and Pang Ying are still okay, as they have a sect behind them and can afford to lose one or two missions. But the same cannot be said for others, as they are all independent cultivators without any sect to rely on.
There are two possibilities for working for the Qingxie Fang. One is that one has some abilities but no connections, and is a low-status cultivator, whether a sect disciple or a casual cultivator. The other is like the two little foxes, Su Bi and Su Zhuang, who come out to gain experience and use the Qingxie Fang as a springboard to make some extra money.
The former accounts for the majority, but there are also differences in levels.
The middle and lower levels are still the main force, just like the people here now have this structure, they cannot afford to lose.
Now they are getting closer and closer to the location of the Xisui Sutra. Everyone knows that, as agreed at the beginning, both parties will temporarily cooperate during the exploration process, but once the Xisui Sutra is finally seen, it means that this cooperative relationship will come to a temporary end.
It was only a matter of time before they fell out, and already many of these people could no longer hold back their anger.
However, Tang Yuanhua, as the temporary leader of the team, now obviously leans towards Liu Yuan and others, that is, his own interests, causing many of them to feel dissatisfied and fear that conflicts will arise later.
It doesn’t matter if you don’t do the missions, you can still make money by connecting with others, but if we don’t do the missions we won’t be able to survive. In this case, the interests of both parties conflict.
The legacy of Emperor Wu will eventually have a final destination.
By then, the winner will still have to be decided.
Everyone had different expressions on their faces. Liu Yuan looked around and knew what was going on. Whenever he made a bet in the past, he would inevitably encounter a few weirdos, let alone now.
He said calmly: "Miss Qingmeng has a secret method that has something to do with this Martial Emperor. She just found something strange, but she is timid by nature and dare not say it out loud, so she is only willing to tell me... She is willing to lead the way to where the strangeness is, everyone come together."
As for the secret method, it is probably something that cannot be discussed...
Tang Yuanhua nodded and said, "What do you think? It seems that we are getting closer to the final goal, but in such a top-secret place, there may be formations or other guardians blocking us. If you are unable to do it or are too seriously injured, you can rest here and wait for us to come back. According to the rules of Qingxie Fang, if you participate in the process and record it with the photo stone, it will be counted as a contribution for settlement, but it will be reduced accordingly."
After all, Qingfengfang is not a real evil sect. Although it walks in a gray area, it also takes fairness and rationality into consideration. Therefore, it sets this rule and does not encourage everyone to use any means to complete the task or monopolize the task rewards, or to do things like killing everyone and then taking the rewards for themselves.
As expected, two people among the crowd retreated. Although they looked unwilling, they looked at their injuries and finally smiled dejectedly and wished that the others could return safely. They sat where they were and continued to regulate their breathing and heal their injuries.
Although there is no spiritual power here, basic breathing and healing will not be hindered. After all, warriors also need to meditate.
However, the efficiency of this breathing method of healing is too low. After all, it is not like in some games where you can recover health by breathing, and the healing medicine is basically sold out. If you force yourself to hold on, you will probably just end up dead.
Hong Fu had to stay here to control the library, so he had no choice but to stay.
Liu Yuan was worried about the safety of the dolls, so he asked the two little foxes who seemed to be chatting happily with Hong Fu to stay here.
Zhiying and Chuichui have the highest combat power, but considering that we may have to face the Emperor Wu himself later, we must bring them along.
Although the two little foxes really wanted to follow him, they still obeyed Liu Yuan's orders, said goodbye to him obediently, and pulled his clothes and said they would come back early, just like a virtuous young fox wife.
Liu Yuan smiled and touched the heads of the two little foxes, then turned around and entered one of the library rooms with everyone else.
What everyone was thinking was to move from one library to another, relying on He Qingmeng's "secret method" to guide them, gradually get closer, and finally find the place where the Xisui Sutra was.
"That's it?"
Liu Yuan asked, squinting his eyes at a small room that was slowly approaching in the distance. This room was already located at a very high place, and was considered to be very well hidden in the entire intricate Sutra Library.
From the outside, there is nothing special about it. This library is no different from other libraries and you can't tell from the surface.
He Qingmeng nodded, pressed her chest, and said softly: "It's right there, the feeling is very strong."
Tang Yuanhua said from behind: "Be on guard."
When they arrived at the place, everyone entered the library, being very careful not to make any big moves.
Only then did Liu Yuan realize what was different here.
The other libraries were like libraries, with neatly arranged bookshelves and numerous books inside. However, this one was different. In addition to the bookshelves, there was also a desk, several chairs, and several puppet parts scattered on the ground, which seemed to be the works that Yanshi practiced in his daily life.
Full of a breath of life.
This place gives people the feeling that someone has lived here, and it is not just a library like other libraries.
"Whoosh!"
Suddenly, one of the people who had been following Tang Yuanhua rushed out like the wind and stretched out his hand towards a very eye-catching book on the desk.
Chapter 202 Emperor Wu II
That person has never had any sense of presence, or it should be said that he gave people an honest feeling. When everyone looked strange before, he did not show any dissatisfaction or anxiety.
Until just now, he had an absolutely normal expression.
But at this moment he suddenly took action.
And it seemed as if he had planned it for a long time. The speed was extremely fast and the angle was very tricky. At that moment, almost no one could react. In the blink of an eye, his figure was already next to the desk, and his hand was about to touch the edge of the scroll!
"Shen Tu Wu!"
Tang Yuanhua's pupils suddenly shrank, his face suddenly turned gloomy, he gritted his teeth and called out the man's name, then drew out his sword and flew forward!
"Zhu Qi, Liao Liu, stop him!" After assigning two people, he shouted to the crowd, "The rest of you, block the door, and be careful not to destroy the Xisui Jing!"
Tang Yuanhua was indeed a veteran of the Qingfengfang mission. He immediately made the best judgment. He did not send people to capture Shen Tu Wu who suddenly attacked, but blocked the only entrance and exit of the library.
The two people he chose to intercept were here. One was Zhu Qi who was from Badao Sect, and the other was Liao Liu who was from Yunlianshan. Both of them specialized in physical training, and among the people present, they were considered the strongest ones.
Speaking of which, Liu Yuan has some connection with these two sects.
But it’s not because of the picture book or something... Of course, the picture book does include senior sisters and junior sisters from these two sects, but that’s not the main reason.
Now I see the genuine goods.
The two people whose names were called looked at each other. They had developed some tacit understanding during the fight. They immediately stepped forward at the same time, spread out to surround Shen Tu Wu on the left and right, and rushed towards Shen Tu Wu who was picking up the scroll and preparing to run away.
Both of these men were tall and strong. They stepped on the floor of the library, making a bang, and rushed to Shentu Wu with a strong momentum, bringing with them a terrifying momentum.
"what!"
Zhu Qi shouted angrily and pulled out a long sword with a strange shape and rough texture like a door panel from behind him. The long sword was like a twisted iron embryo. It made a whistling sound when it was swung. The blade drew a bright arc and attacked Shen Tu Wu heavily with a whistling sound of breaking wind.
It is the basic unique skill of Badao Sect - Xunfeng Badao!
From the looks of it, once hit by the knife, even if the bones are not broken, the heavy weight of the knife will make the person bloody and splattered on the spot.
Liao Liu on the other side was relatively introverted. Veins popped out on his forehead, and he clenched his fists. His muscles instantly bulged out. While running, he opened his fists. A light blue air current flowed over his skin, forming a mysterious pattern that shone like gold and iron!
The punch was powerful, but Liao Liu slowly gathered the power of his other hand into a palm. If the first strike failed, he would follow up with a second palm. The force was long-lasting and the subsequent moves would not be interrupted, and they would go on endlessly. This was Yun Lianshan's Qianyuan Hand!
The rest of the people followed Tang Yuanhua's command and rushed towards the door to intercept.
Liu Yuan put down the hammer, but her prototype was too big and had fire attributes, so she couldn't use it in this library for the time being. For now, she could only act according to circumstances.
A single figure stood in front of him, holding the sword slanted horizontally. It was obvious that his safety was the first priority, and everything else was not a problem.
The murderous sword in Liu Yuan's hand has been unsheathed, because the murderous aura at the scene suddenly rose, and the explosive momentum caused the evil sword to tremble slightly, and it seemed very excited.
"Hahahaha, the Emperor Wu's inheritance can only be mine!"
Shentu Wu laughed loudly. Although he was in a dangerous situation with men on both sides, he did not show any fear. Instead, he laughed arrogantly while holding the scroll.
He was short and thin, and looked like a monkey. At this moment, his eyes flashed red, and his body changed at an extremely fast speed. Brown hair grew on the sides of his cheeks, neck and back of his hands, and a long tail grew behind him!
The tail swung violently, hooked onto the beam above, and then retracted, and the whole person bounced out, leaping through the gap between Zhu Qi and Liao Liu's sword and fist.
"He is a demon in disguise!"
Tang Yuanhua shouted. He was originally planning to intercept in the middle, but Shen Tu Wu's speed suddenly changed too quickly, increasing again and again, allowing him to cross the defense line in an instant.
Tang Yuanhua suddenly realized that there was a fourth party involved in this operation!
Biluo Mansion, Qingxie Fang, Liu Yuan and others, now there is also a demon tribe!
It is easy to understand why the demon race wants to inherit the martial emperor's legacy.
The Martial Emperor represents the pinnacle of human strength. If he were to be taken by this nameless demon race, it would be the greatest insult to the human race!
This Shen Tu Wu must belong to the faction among the demon race that is hostile to the human race!
"Daoyou! Stop him!"
In an instant, Tang Yuanhua reacted and shouted to Liu Yuan.
Needless to say, Liu Yuan had already been on high alert, but the first one to attack was a shadow, and the girl's figure disappeared on the spot in an instant.
Shentu Wu was feeling proud when suddenly a bright light flashed in front of him.
"Yin Yue!" The girl's cold voice was like pearls falling to the ground.
The sword light was cold and a silver arc came into view, clean and clear, flashing by in an instant.
Liu Yuan suddenly opened his eyes wide, and he suddenly realized that this was the first time that Zhiying used a move other than basic swordsmanship...
His daughter is so strong!
Should we say that she is worthy of being the daughter of Vihara... Her danger and fighting power are cut from the same cloth.
"what!"
The monkey demon's screams were sharp and shrill, and blood was spilled on the floor of the library and on the puppet parts.
Shentu Wu reacted very quickly. He made a prompt decision and cut off his injured arm directly, then threw it towards the shadow with a large amount of blood.
The girl was originally calm and didn't care about this little trick. She was about to continue attacking, but suddenly she thought of something. She couldn't help but glance at Liu Yuan, hesitated for a moment, and stepped back.
"Hahahaha!"
Shentu Wu let out a sharp and triumphant laugh, his thin figure landed on the bookshelf next to him, clicked a few times, and rushed towards the door.
"Zheng——" A strange sword sound suddenly rang out.
"What the hell!" Shen Tu Wu covered his head, grinning, and turned around to see Liu Yuan snapping his fingers and flicking the sword.
His eyes were red, his demonic nature was instantly aroused, he became unconscious, and his steps stopped.
"Not good!" Tang Yuanhua, who was chasing after them, suddenly noticed that the parts of the puppet splashed with blood on the ground began to vibrate, and then as if pulled by an invisible force, they were pieced together into a strange human shape!
Chapter 203 Emperor Wu III
After Liu Yuan used his murderous aura to interfere for a moment, he immediately changed his moves, swung the sword across the blade, and kept an eye on Shen Tu Wu's movements.
He now had no spiritual power, and his murderous aspirations were reduced to the buffs he had built in. He used the sound-killing technique poorly, but had no confidence in how powerful it would be.
In fact, Liu Yuan did hinder Shentu Wu's escape, but looking at the monkey demon's expression, the murderous intent and fear did make him feel painful, but because of the lack of power, it instead aroused his ferocity.
The monkey demon was unconscious and lost his strength halfway towards the door. He rolled to the ground, shook his head, bared his fangs, spit out blood, and looked around with red eyes. His crazy gaze was fixed on the few people from the Qingfengfang who were ready to intercept him at the nearest door.
"Shh!"
The monkey demon's speed increased a bit, its figure flashed, and in an instant it crossed a distance of ten feet, and came to the side of the people with terrified faces, and stretched out the sharp claws on the top of its remaining hairy palm.
He leaped up and landed on the shoulder of one of them. He grabbed his shoulder tightly with his curved foot. The shadow of his claws passed through the air and instantly broke the man's head, going straight through him.
The monkey demon laughed, then lowered its head and bit off his throat.
Pfft!
The headless corpse fell to the ground, and the monkey demon laughed wildly, holding up the head in his hand.
The people around him all drew their swords and stabbed at him. Shen Tu Wu threw the head away, disrupting the vision of one of them, and then broke through the encirclement and rushed back.
“Hahahaha…kill!”
Shen Tu Wu faced Zhu Qi and Liao Liu who were rushing up from behind without dodging or evading. His mind was completely affected by murderous intent and fear, and his burst of fighting power soared.
But at the same time, he who should have immediately fled has now turned into a berserker instead, and although his momentum is alarming, it actually makes everyone feel relieved.
We are not afraid of being beaten, but we are afraid that he will run away with the Xisui Jing, making all our efforts go to waste.
