Chapter 145: The Final End of Shatonmo
After receiving the notification, Shen Xu walked into the reception room leisurely. However, when he saw Shatongmo's miserable appearance, he instantly lost his composure. He hurried forward to check Shatongmo's injuries and found that Shatongmo's whole body was sealed and he could not speak.
At the same time, Shatongmo looked at Shen Xu with pitiful eyes, as if he was asking for help with his eyes. He was truly in tears and couldn't even cry.
"What a cruel method." Shen Xu secretly said, ignoring Sha Tongmo's plea for help, and asked the golden armored guard: "What is going on?"
The golden-armored guard immediately explained the whole story, including the words that Mo Lianyue asked him to bring, which he dared not forget.
Shen Xu's face changed from gloomy to bright during the golden-armored guard's description, but after listening to the story, his expression calmed down because he had also heard of the name Mo Lianyue, who was the wife of the current demon clan leader and the daughter of the previous demon clan leader.
Since a big shot of that level said that he would not pursue the matter any further, he would naturally not break his promise, so Shen Xu felt relieved. Then Shen Xu said to the golden armored guard: "I understand. When you go back to report on your work, just say what you want to say. You don't have to hide anything for me."
"This, this is inappropriate and damaging to the reputation of His Excellency the Duke." The golden-armored guard said with trembling lips. He didn't really care about Shen Xu's reputation, but was worried that Shen Xu would come after him later.
While rushing back, the golden-armored guard kept cursing himself in his heart for getting into such a thing. As the saying goes, when gods fight, mortals suffer, and wasn't he the mortal who suffered?
Seeing this, Shen Xu comforted the golden-armored guard instead: "Don't worry, just speak boldly, I will handle the follow-up matters myself. Besides, that senior has already warned me, how dare I do it again."
The golden-armored guard felt relieved upon hearing this, and then quickly said goodbye.
After the golden armored guards left, Shen Xu began to deal with Sha Tongmo and called out softly: "Someone come."
Following Shen Xu's order, the two palace guards on the left and right of the door immediately walked in, saluted and said, "Here."
"Send Lord Sha to the backyard and find a guest room to properly house him. Take good care of him until he dies of old age." Shen Xu gave the order indifferently.
Since Mo Lianyue did not kill Sha Tongmo, Shen Xu guessed her intention and decided that it would not be a good idea for him to kill him. Besides, it would not be a waste of many spirit stones for him to keep Sha Tongmo.
"Yes." The two guards took the order and immediately carried Shatongmo away.
"Aba..." Shatongmo couldn't speak, but he opened his eyes wide and tried hard to make sounds, as if begging Shen Xu to be more decisive and even kill him directly.
……
On the afternoon of the third day after parting with Mu Xun, Mu Changsheng took a medicinal bath and was walking home again, when he finally met Mu Xun.
Seeing Mu Xun, Mu Changsheng couldn't help but joked: "Hey, do you feel comfortable?"
"You also said that you didn't stop me at that time." Mu Xun's mouth twitched slightly, and he thought of some very unpleasant memories. Mo Lianyue was really like two different people before and after she fed him a move. She beat him so hard that he had to lie down for two days.
Mu Changsheng stood still, stroking his beard, and said in an unfathomable tone: "What do you know at such a young age? If you don't get beaten now, you may lose your life in the future. The more painful the beating, the deeper my love for you will be."
Mu Xun pulled a smile that was uglier than crying, and then got down to business: "My mother said that she is willing to help you say hello to the king. You don't have to participate in the Six Nations Trial. You just need to return 200,000 medium-grade spirit stones to them. If you are short of spirit stones, I can lend them to you first."
Mu Changsheng put away his cheerful expression, shook his head decisively and said: "I have made up my mind. If you really regard me as a friend, don't bring this matter to Aunt Mo again."
Mu Changsheng knew that it must be Mu Xun who took the initiative to find Mo Lianyue, otherwise Mo Lianyue would not take the initiative to meddle in other people's affairs. The reason why he did not agree was that participating in the Six Kingdoms Trial was his own choice, and he never thought of regretting it.
Mu Xun knew that his words might hurt Mu Changsheng's self-esteem, but he couldn't help but persuade him: "The Six Nations Trial is extraordinary, and you really might die."
Mu Changsheng was silent for a moment. At their age, they were no longer ignorant of death, and were far from seeing through life and death. They had an unknown fear of death, but he still said resolutely: "This is the path I chose, and I will not regret it even if I die."
It’s not that Mu Changsheng is not afraid of death at all. It’s just that after his physical body broke through to the third transformation, he had many means to use and his strength increased greatly, so he still had a lot of confidence in saving his life.
Seeing this, Mu Xun knew that he could not change Mu Changsheng's will, so he could only give up, and then said with a wry smile: "You know, compared to you, I feel like a coward who is greedy for life and afraid of death."
Mu Changsheng, on the other hand, tried to persuade Mu Xun: "Mr. Yang once said something to me, which I can give to you: Rats have their own way, and cats have their own way. The key is to see who can go further on the road."
Then, Mu Changsheng said sincerely: "I hope to meet you at the top in the future."
As he spoke, Mu Changsheng took the initiative to stretch out his hand.
Seeing this, Mu Xun also stretched out his hand and held Mu Changsheng's hand without hesitation, saying firmly: "See you at the top."
Afterwards, the two of them went home, and the first thing Mu Xun did when he got home was to find Mo Lianyue and said anxiously: "I want to continue feeding you moves."
Mu Xun knew that Mu Changsheng had been teaching Mr. Yang some moves these days, and he didn't want to fall behind.
Mo Lianyue smiled slightly upon hearing this and said, "Have you thought it through? Don't beg for mercy like you did last time."
Mu Xun blushed, and then said firmly: "I will never beg for mercy!"
"Okay, follow me." Mo Lianyue put her hand on Mu Xun's shoulder, and the two figures disappeared from the spot in an instant.
That night, Mu Changsheng came to his master Yang Wuque's house again. He thought he would be beaten all night long, but Yang Wuque said, "Practice requires a balance between tension and relaxation. I won't beat you tonight. I will teach you how to practice talismans."
Mu Changsheng's eyes lit up. He had not yet comprehended the meaning of talismans. Compared with his body refining, his practice of talismans lagged behind by a lot.
So, the master and the disciple sat on the ground in the courtyard, and Yang Wuque asked first: "What kind of talisman refining materials do you have now?"
"The third-grade Fire Talisman, Dragon Flame Talisman, Fiery Sun Talisman and the Pill Talisman." Mu Changsheng said without reservation. These were also what he prepared for the Six Nations Trial.
Yang Wuque
Yang Wuque nodded slightly. He was familiar with the four talismans that Mu Changsheng mentioned, especially the elixir-inviting talisman, which was the inheritance talisman he had given to Mu Changsheng before. So he said, "Draw a fire-leaving talisman for me to see first."
Mu Changsheng didn't hesitate. He bought pre-mixed talisman liquid, so he started drawing the Lihuo Talisman right away.
Mu Changsheng held the Efeng talisman pen in his hand with extraordinary stability. His cultivation had now reached the Golden Elixir Realm, and he had formed a ninth-grade golden elixir. Drawing the Lihuo Talisman was like a tiger with wings.
So, Mu Changsheng succeeded in drawing the Lihuo Talisman for the first time.
Yang Wuque did not rush to comment on this, but continued: "Draw another Dragon Flame Talisman."
Mu Changsheng followed his master's orders and started trying to draw the Dragon Flame Talisman.
The last time he tried the Dragon Flame Talisman was when Mu Changsheng had reached the peak of his foundation building. With fifty pieces of Dragon Flame Talisman raw materials, he only succeeded once.
So even after breaking through to the Jindan realm, Mu Changsheng was still extremely cautious.
And this first time, it was successful again.
Yang Wuque raised his eyebrows when he saw this, and was a little surprised, so he asked: "Have you ever tried to refine the Dragon Flame Talisman before?"
"I tried fifty times when I was at the peak of foundation building, and only succeeded once." Mu Changsheng said with some shame, not noticing Yang Wuque's twitching eyelids at all.
Yang Wuque was also a talisman master, and he understood better what it meant to draw a third-grade intermediate dragon flame talisman with the cultivation level at the peak of the foundation-building stage.
