The crystal ape used up his last bit of strength, only to realize that what took away his life was a one-foot-square flying knife.
Such a change also shocked Granny Shi who was meditating. She stood up suddenly and looked towards Xizhou. She had no time to care about the wound that had just stopped bleeding and re-opened.
At this time, the jungle was still quiet. Apart from her, there seemed to be no other living creatures at all.
"Thank you for your life-saving grace. I am Shi Zhonglan, the elder of Guanghan Palace. I wonder which fellow Taoist is in front of me?"
She brought up the name of the sect, hoping that the other party would retreat in spite of the difficulties.
The warrior hiding in the dark chose the timing of his attack so accurately.
It means that he has been here for a while, and the transaction between himself and the crystal ape may have been fully known to him.
If the other party spreads it, there may be no place for her in the world.
"I didn't expect that the elders of Guanghan Palace would be so dirty and would reach a dirty deal with monsters. This brief introduction is eye-opening."
"You don't want to slander me. How can I reach a so-called deal with the monster?"
"Could it be that Elder Chengshi thinks that the Image Stone is a great treasure?"
Hearing this, Granny Shi collapsed to the ground.
"Image Stone" is a strange stone special to Shanhai Continent. It can record images and sounds at the same time. It has been circulated for many years.
Moreover, the images recorded by the recording stone can be verified to be true or false by checking the true energy, so when she heard that the other party used the recording stone, she collapsed to the ground.
"What conditions do you have, tell me."
The other party didn't show up, nor did he kill her. Granny Shi naturally knew that the other party also wanted something.
"You are quite smart."
Then the surrounding area fell into silence, as if they were thinking about suitable conditions.
"You just promised to give this beast five Martial Emperors and ten beauties. I have no shortage of Martial Emperors' subordinates, and I have no interest in Rouge and vulgar fans."
"I just have a soft spot for the Saint of Guanghan Palace. If you lure her here to me, our deal will be considered complete."
Grandma Shi's mind was racing. No leader of the force called himself "Young Master", and the other party's voice was very young. Could it be that he was really a genius of some big force.
"Don't lie to that monster and say you have nothing to do. I still know your identity very well."
"Although I am the protector of the Saint, I am only promoting it to the outside world. The real protector of the Saint is the Martial Saint Warrior."
"Do you think this young master will be afraid of a mere Martial Saint?"
Secretly, the young man's tone was loud, but Grandma Shi had no doubt about it. Many of the guardians of the powerful saints and saints were martial saints.
But what made her feel strange was that she seemed to have heard this voice somewhere, but she couldn't remember it. Such a situation should not happen to the Emperor Wu warrior.
"If you don't want to, I will release the Image Stone to the entire continent."
Upon hearing the other party's threat, Granny Shi's face turned green with anger.
"Don't try to delay time. You have been poisoned by the cold poison and you only have one month to live. My control methods are naturally better than those of the crystal ape. I can make you unable to survive or die."
"Do you want to try it?"
Granny Shi naturally knew that what the other party said was not empty words, and the warrior's methods were naturally much richer than those of monsters.
At this time, she could only say resignedly, "I can only take the saint to the place you specified, and there is nothing else I can do."
After she finished speaking, a figure wearing a white mask appeared in front of her.
Looking at the dejected Granny Shi, the other party said jokingly, "There are two pieces of news, one good news and one bad news. Which one do you want to hear?"
How could Shi Zhonglan be in the mood to cooperate with such a boring game? Seeing her lowering her head and saying nothing, the other party continued, "If you can't even cooperate with such a trivial matter, how can I expect you to be sincerely obedient for such a big matter as deceiving a saint?"
Faced with the strong threat, she could only say helplessly, "Hear the bad news first."
"I didn't have time to record the transaction you just had with the crystal ape with the image stone."
Although the other party's tone was calm, Granny Shi's heart seemed to be filled with turmoil.
The originally drooped head suddenly lifted up and looked at the other party, with a look of hope on his face.
"So what's the good news?"
"It was the conversation between the two of us just now. I recorded it completely with a photo stone."
The other party answered lightly, and Granny Shi was so angry that she shed tears of blood on the spot.
Only then did she realize that she had been trapped.
Originally without any reason, he took the initiative to give it to the hateful young man in front of him.
Everyone in the Eastern Region deserves death!
But no matter what, her life and death were already in the hands of the other party.
The young man wearing the mask is naturally Chu Ming.
He happened to discover the battle here on his way back to the Demon Immortal Valley.
I just wanted to come over and take a look.
Wen Shuyue naturally changed her appearance when she lived with him, but Granny Shi didn't, so he recognized her at a glance.
Originally, he wanted to help him, but he didn't expect that the other party would be so shameless and would even make a deal with the monster in order to survive.
Chu Ming naturally changed his plan.
He really didn't use a photo stone to record all of this, mainly because he wasn't used to it yet.
Fortunately, he had a flexible mind, and this was how he almost made Granny Shi mad.
After her rage, Granny Shi began to calm down. She looked at the young man in front of her who frequently played tricks on her. She felt more and more familiar, but she couldn't remember who he was.
"Do we know each other?"
Granny Shi took the initiative to ask tentatively, but Chu Ming was too lazy to answer her question.
Although he was wearing a mask, his aloof temperament was undoubtedly prominent.
It was at this time that Granny Shi overlapped the young man in front of her with the "waste" who liked to sit in a rocking chair and bask in the sun in the yard.
“Chu Ming!”
Nothing had ever made her feel so frightened, even the threat the crystal ape had posed to her just now was far less than that.
A cold air rose from the soles of her feet and quickly spread throughout her body. Her body began to tremble uncontrollably, and even her teeth collided up and down, making a "gurgle" sound.
Hearing the other party call out his name, Chu Ming raised his hand and took off the mask on his face, revealing his fresh and handsome face.
But Granny Shi screamed and collapsed to the ground as if she had seen a ghost, and said, "Impossible! This is absolutely impossible! Impossible..."
Chu Ming did not interfere with her behavior, but stood quietly, watching her ugly appearance.
This situation lasted for about a quarter of an hour before Granny Shi's mood gradually stabilized.
"This is impossible. We conducted a strict examination on you. You are just an ordinary person and there is no way you are a warrior."
Thinking of this, just as he regained his composure, he became crazy again.
"You are not Chu Ming, you absolutely cannot be Chu Ming!"
"Is it fun to deceive yourself?"
Chu Ming's words completely broke Granny Shi's guard and she began to cry loudly.
She knew that her life had come to an end. She was so shocked just now that she even called out the other person's name.
Knowing such a big secret, how could Chu Ming let her go.
Maybe the other party had already had the idea of killing her from the beginning, otherwise he wouldn't have exposed Xingzang in front of her without any cover-up.
"We have no grudges at all, why are you targeting me?"
"It's not about targeting, it's just the right time, it's just that I don't like it."
After Chu Ming said this, he refused to give Granny Shi any chance. When he raised his hand, the flying knife had penetrated her throat.
Grandma Shi's eyes widened with fear, and she fell backwards.
Chu Ming only collected the inner elixir of the crystal ape, but left his body far away. He had some mental obstacles to eating the primate monster.
Then he turned around and left. There was no need to cover up the traces. Soon, this place would become a paradise for monsters.
All clues will disappear completely.
No one knows that Elder Shi of Guanghan Palace died here, let alone who killed her.
Not long after Chu Ming returned to Demon Immortal Valley, Yue Shanggu also returned to Taiyi Sect.
After hearing that Elder Xi had returned from the investigation, the sect leader summoned all the elders with authority to listen to his report.
Yue Shanggu acted a little shy.
"This time, my subordinates are making a fuss. There is indeed a mysterious force in the Eastern Region, but the one with the highest level is just King Wu. They are a group of bandits active in the Tianlongmen territory, and their name is the Black-faced Bandits."
According to the plan previously agreed upon with the young master, Elder Xi took the lead in exposing the "black-faced thief" in front of everyone.
"I just said how could there be a powerful force growing under our noses? I really thought that I was just a freeloader."
The second elder still looked fiery.
"No wonder after every operation, almost no grass is left at the scene. It turns out they are a group of robbers. They are really professional!"
The seventh elder suddenly realized this, which also explained many doubts in the past.
Even the leader of the Taiyi Sect nodded frequently. In fact, he also had this question in his mind. Why did the scene always seem to be robbed? It turned out that there was a group of robbers behind the scenes.
"How did Elder Xi deal with them?"
"I didn't touch them. Now that I've found out their whereabouts, keeping them will be more useful."
The sect leader naturally had no objection to Elder Xi's treatment. A force that didn't even have the Martial Emperor warriors would naturally not be able to get into the eyes of their group of big bosses.
In fact, he initially determined that the Exile Domain could not have a strong force, but he just did not want to dampen the enthusiasm of his subordinate elders.
This is the basic quality that a leader should possess.
"My subordinates received information on the way that Shi Zhonglan, the elder of Guanghan Palace, was making a big fuss in the Jinhe Sect. He said that it was because of a woman she had long been interested in and wanted to be included in his family."
Everything that happens in the Eastern Territory cannot be hidden from the Taiyi Sect, not to mention that Granny Shi is still an elder from a first-grade sect, so her whereabouts naturally attract more attention.
