Master's Chief Disciple

Chapter 132 Preparation before the war

Bai Qige, who was carrying the wooden planks, looked up and saw Mu Huayan and the others, "Senior Sister and the others are back!"

Hearing the sound, Mu Qing dropped what he was holding and ran towards them, waving, "Senior Sister."

After a brief chat, they walked towards the main hall. Mu Qing saw Zhong Siyao standing beside him and asked, "Why is she still here?"

Zhong Siyao put her hands on her hips and said dissatisfiedly, "Why can't I be here? Besides, Cangyun City is my home!"

So she started a series of quarrels with Mu Qing, and Wen Qi stood between them to persuade and mediate.

"The demons have been very unruly lately and dare not take any action." Gu Lan said.

"Moreover, the people from the Wu Sect of Beiyao Continent did not dare to attack us, and they have restrained themselves a lot."

"It's a pity that the two demons escaped that day." Mu Huayan sighed.

"There is another powerful demon in Beiyao Continent. If I guess correctly, they will ask Yueming for help and attack us soon." Gu Lan said.

"Moreover, Yue Ming's strength is far superior to the two of them, and his methods are more cruel than theirs. He is the most favored warrior of the Demon Lord."

"How many cultivators are there in Cangyun City who can fight?" Mu Huayan asked.

"Less than a hundred people..."

Mu Huayan sighed and thought for a while, "This Beiyao Continent is originally the territory of the demons. Our presence is a cancer that they must eradicate. Spread the news and try to gather other independent cultivators in Beiyao Continent. Those who are willing to join the battle will be protected."

"Okay, I'll arrange for someone to spread the news."

"and many more......"

"Immortal Lord, is there anything else you want to explain?"

"Forget it, let's leave it like this for now."

At this time, a servant came outside the palace, "Report! There are two people outside the city gate who claim to be disciples from Xinghan Tianzong and want to see you."

"Xinghantian Sect?" Gu Lan looked at Mu Huayan with a questioning look on his face.

"Could it be that... City Lord, can you let me go and see him?" Mu Huayan said.

Gu Lan hesitated for a while but finally agreed, "Then I'll trouble you, Immortal Lord."

"Xinghantian Sect! Why would they come here? Judging from Gu Lan's expression, he doesn't ask for help from them." Mu Huayan muttered.

The visitor Su Yun saw Mu Huayan who saved them from danger that day, so he stepped forward excitedly and said, "Su Yun greets the Immortal Lord. It turns out that the Immortal Lord is also here. Su Yun brought the sect disciple Tang Mengmeng to seek refuge with you. Please let us in, Immortal Lord."

Before Mu Huayan could say a word, Su Yun explained his purpose in one go. Mu Huayan nodded, thinking that he should understand her purpose, but he never mentioned it, while Tang Mengmeng beside him kept pulling his sleeve.

Tang Mengmeng couldn't help but explain, "Don't blame me, Fairy Sister. He is a little dull and doesn't know how to judge the situation."

"We are disciples of Xinghan Tianzong. To be honest, we are here to carry out the mission assigned by the sect."

"I heard that the ancient divine feather appeared in the world, so I came here to look for the whereabouts of the divine feather."

Mu Huayan couldn't help but tremble in her heart, "How did Xinghan Tianzong know about Shen Yu, and knew the news before us."

"Thanks to my sister for saving us from the thieves the first two times. We didn't want to be separated and then encounter difficulties with the Wu Sect's people. On the way, we heard that the safest place in Beiyao Continent is Cangyun City, so we came here for refuge."

"The Beiyao Continent is extremely dangerous. It is a blessing from heaven that you two have come this far. Come in with me."

Before that, Mu Huayan used some kind of magic to check their surroundings and found no traces of any tracking spell, so she let them in with confidence.

"Gu Zi'an from the Xinghantian Sect is so careless that he actually sent two disciples to Beiyao Continent to investigate." Mu Huayan couldn't help but sigh.

"Forget it. It's not a good idea to interrogate him right now. Let's take it one step at a time."

However, not long after the news was released, a few days later, a dozen cultivators appeared outside the city, shouting that they wanted to enter the city. Just in case, Mu Huayan set up a formation outside the city. If the person who came was a transformed demon or a member of the Witch Sect or the Demon Clan, a red light would immediately appear and he would be killed by the magic in the formation.

Seeing this, the people on the city waved their hands to open the gate. A dozen monks swarmed in. When they stepped into the formation, more than half of them fainted on the ground. After a while, their true forms were revealed. They wanted to struggle but were restrained by some kind of lightning in the formation and could not move. Then they were killed without a breath.

The other independent cultivators who entered the city were also subject to inspection and questioning. One of the black-robed cultivators and another purple-robed cultivator were cast under some kind of spell, and they exploded and died when they were examined;

The remaining five monks confessed after some questioning that they were threatened by the Wu Sect to come and get information. However, Duan Qiuran, who was walking over, noticed something strange about these people.

After some investigation, he discovered that they were poisoned by some kind of Gu, which shocked him greatly. Gu had not appeared in a long time, so why did it appear now? Then he forced the Gu worms out of their bodies, and just in case, he wrapped the Gu worms with spiritual energy and burned them with fire.

They thought everything was fine, but in just a moment, the five people were burned by a green flame, and they kept waving and screaming and pounced on others. In a hurry, Duan Qiuran quickly covered them in a barrier.

The huge commotion attracted Gu Lan and others, "What's going on!"

One of the monks explained with lingering fear, "Several people were poisoned by a Gu. When the Gu was removed, they actually burned themselves to death."

Looking at the bodies that were almost burned to ashes, he couldn't bear to look at them any more. "Is there not a single normal monk today?"

The few people standing there shook their heads in disappointment.

"Stop recruiting monks first. I will go and discuss this with the Immortal Lord."

I wanted to tell her the whole situation, but she knew everything. "I guess both the demon and monster races don't want to give us any chance to breathe."

"Does the Immortal Lord have any way to break this situation?"

"The ones being targeted are all cultivators below the Great Transformation Immortal level. I have run out of tricks."

"It all depends on whether those strong men are willing to come to Cangyun City for refuge."

After saying that, Mu Huayan released no less than ten colorful spirit birds. The spirit birds were restricted so that only the great immortal cultivators could catch a glimpse of them. After touching them, they could be directly transmitted to the outside of Cangyun City gate.

Mu Huayan touched her aching temple and said, "City Lord Gu, please think about it carefully. Are there any cultivators in the city who have not yet appeared?"

Gu Lan pondered for a while and then an idea came to his mind. "There are indeed two. One is in Fengxi Forest, where he spends all year long practicing swordplay, playing chess and drinking tea alone. The other is a cultivator who lives by the Chumei Lake."

"But they are always very aloof and indifferent to things other than themselves. It may be difficult to invite them here."

"Feng Xilin... Is there a fairy pond in this forest?"

"Exactly. Could it be that the Immortal Lord has some connection with that person?"

"It's just a one-time encounter, there's no way we've ever met before."

"I have a way to convince Feng Xilin. As for the cultivators living in Chumei Lake, I may have to trouble City Lord Gu."

"The monk from Chumei Lake, uh..."

"If you have anything to say, please speak up. Don't hesitate."

"Ahem, he's an exhibitionist, he's extremely unruly and he always likes to indulge in beauty."

"There used to be a tavern in the city that he opened. After the demon tribe attacked the city, he abandoned the tavern and lived in seclusion in Chujiu Lake."

"How strong is this person?"

"Daluo Jinxian."

"In that case, then forget it."

A servant came in and said, "City Lord, there is a man outside the palace who wants to see you. He said that you know his background."

"Let him in."

"Lu has met City Lord Gu, and this... Immortal Lord."

"Lu Ci? Didn't you leave?" Gu Lan asked with a puzzled look.

Lu Ci hesitated for a while and then explained, "He did leave!"

Gu Ci held his forehead helplessly and said, "Are you playing word games with me?"

"If City Lord Gu doesn't like me like this, then I will leave."

"return!"

"Well, it seems that City Lord Gu urgently needs to recruit strong men to defend the city." After saying that, he took out a red phantom spirit bird.

Mu Huayan, who was thinking, looked up at the person who came, then looked at City Lord Gu and nodded slightly.

"I didn't expect that there is a fairy sister hiding in the city of City Lord Gu!" Lu Ci walked slowly towards Gu Lan and gave a wink.

"Tsk, I'm telling you, don't even think of any bad ideas." Gu Lan pushed him away and pointed at him to warn him.

"Hey, you are wrong. This fairy sister is definitely stronger than you and me. I would not dare to act rashly even if I have a hundred courages."

"Besides, I, Lu, am not that kind of playboy."

Gu Lan curled the corner of his mouth but didn't reply to him.
