Chapter 63 - Brotherhood
Seeing that the scarlet gold fire ring had hit its target, Chu Jiao used his consciousness and the nine fire drakes disappeared into the air.
Being trapped by the scarlet gold fire ring, the black viper with single horn struggled as it rolled on the ground, trying to break free from the bindings. However, no matter how hard it tried, the scarlet gold fire ring could not get rid of it, and instead became tighter and tighter.
"If you are willing to follow me, you will benefit greatly. However, if you don"t know what"s good for you, then you"ll have to suffer a little bit!"
Chu Jiao said to the black viper with single horn that was struggling and roaring nonstop, he then used his consciousness and the scarlet gold ring of fire around the black viper with single horn"s neck suddenly lit up with a blazing flame, causing a burnt stench to come out from the black viper with single horn"s body.
As if knowing that it was hopeless to escape, the black viper with single horn collapsed to the ground and gave up on struggling, revealing a human-like weak look in its eyes.
"That"s more like it, don"t worry, when my cultivation reaches the Tongxuan realm, it will be useless to keep you, so I will naturally return your freedom. But before that, you should just let me control you for a while!"
As Chu Jiao spoke, the scarlet gold ring of fire loosened a bit, and the flames scattered by itself.Seeing that, the black viper with single horn nodded towards Chu Jiao to express its goodwill, its intelligence was obviously not bad.
"Alright, let"s go to the Qingyun Town and see if we can find any clues regarding the whereabouts of my little sister and her death!"
After Chu Jiao finished speaking, he took out a black leather bag that was filled with runes. Under Chu Jiao"s control, the leather bag released a white light that placed the gigantic black viper with single horn back inside. Then, Chu Jiao transformed into a ray of light and quickly flew towards Qingyun Town.
"Brother Ren, Brother Li, do you really plan to leave today?"
Just as Chu Jiao was fighting with the black viper with single horn, inside a pavilion in the rear flower garden of Imperial Mansion, Li Mu, Young Master Yun and Ren Xiaoyao were seated at a sumptuous feast. The one who spoke was Young Master Yun, but he looked at Li Mu and with reluctance in his expression.Yes, it"s time to leave. I"ve come to Qingyun Town to find out what I want to know, and I"ve even made a friend to a life and death brother like you, young master.
Li Mu said with emotion as he finished the wine in his cup in one gulp.In these five days, Ren Xiaoyao"s body had already fully recovered. Li Mu and Ren Xiaoyao decided to set off from Qingyun Town today.
"Me too, it"s a pity that I"m the only son in the family, if not I would really want to go with you two and live a carefree and carefree life, the world of flowers is so big, how can you cover my eyes? If there"s a chance in the future, I, Di, will definitely go out and adventure and see the real world of cultivation!"
Di Yun laughed bitterly with annoyance. He actually wanted to go out and give it a try, but Imperial Mansion only had him as his only son, and the clan elders were against him going on a long journey, so they said, "The playworld is so big, why is it so beautiful that it covers my eyes."Once I enter the mortal world, I will never be able to live with you. Although we met by chance, we might be friends for a long time, and the truth is that I have traveled far away from home to the Gold Jade Sect, and I want to become his disciple. With a man as my husband, how can I possibly live to the point of death? "
Li Mu"s eyes revealed a determined look. He wanted to enter the true cultivation world, he still had many things to do, whether it be his own background or to help Luan Tian, he needed to increase his cultivation as fast as possible.
Upon hearing that Li Mu was going to the Gold Jade Sect, Ren Xiaoyao who had just recovered from a serious illness immediately opened his mouth: "Gold Jade Sect! Wood, why have you never told me this before? The Gold Jade Sect is one of the ten great sects in the northern part of the Yuheng Continent."That"s right, although my Chu is a small and desolate country, it would not be wrong to say that we are forgotten in the corners of the continent. However, I have heard of the Gold Jade Sect"s great name, and I heard that the requirements to recruit disciples are extremely harsh. After all, the Gold Jade Sect is far away from the Chu Country, if you lose, all your previous efforts will go down the drain! " Di Yun asked worriedly.
"I once had the fortune to meet a senior from the Xueling Sect"s Tongxuan realm. She gifted me a Gold Jade Sect"s command medallion, saying that as long as I hold this command medallion, I will be able to enter the Gold Jade Sect. Otherwise, I don"t have the confidence to become a disciple of a large sect like the Gold Jade Sect."He no longer had too much guard against Young Master Yun and Ren Xiaoyao. After all, they had experienced a life and death trial together, so Li Mu had a certain level of trust in them.
"You piece of wood, you really hid it from me so bitterly. I really thought you were going to travel the world with me!"
Ren Xiaoyao shouted, pretending to be extremely unsatisfied, Di Yun saw and laughed bitterly, he was extremely envious of Li Mu"s fortuitous encounter.
After three rounds of drinking, Di Yun suddenly suggested: "Brother Li, brother Ren, we three brothers don"t know when we"ll be able to reunite again after today. I have a suggestion, how about we become brothers from the opposite s.e.x?"
After Li Mu and Ren Xiaoyao heard this, they looked at each other, then laughed and nodded their heads. Di Yun was overjoyed, and immediately ordered the servants to set up the incense table as offerings, the scene was extremely grand.
"Today, I, Ren Xiaoyao, Di Yun, are willing to swear on the heavens that I am sworn brothers of life and death, that we will not share the same fate, that we will not live in the same year, that we will live in the same month, that we live in the same year, and that if we go to the same Yellow Springs, that if we go against this oath, the heavens will be destroyed, that our souls will be demoted to the underworld, that they will not be born into the six paths, and that they will not die in the cycle of reincarnation!"Li Mu and the other two made burning incense, kowtowing to him, and swearing a venomous oath in unison.
After completing the bow of worship, Di Yun"s face was filled with excitement. He thought for a while, then asked: "Oh right, brothers, I am twenty this year, how old are you two?"
"There"s no need to ask. In any case, little brother is the youngest. I"m 16 this year. As for Brother Xiao Yao, I really don"t know."
Li Mu knew immediately that Di Yun was thinking about the rankings of the three people, and replied happily.Hehehe, I"m sorry, even though I look young, but I"m older than you by two years, Brother Di Yun. This year, I"ll be twenty-three, from now on I"m your big brother, you two have to listen to me obediently, okay!
Li Mu and Young Master Yun helplessly shook their heads when they saw this, there was nothing they could do. After all, they were born first, so it was impossible for them to beat someone back into their mother"s womb.Not long after, Li Mu and Ren Xiaoyao, accompanied by Di Yun, brought along the flower spots and left the main entrance of the Imperial Mansion.
"Butler Zhao, bring my horse here! I"m going to send off my two brothers!"Leaving always made people sad. Young Master Yun was a little sad as he told Housekeeper Zhao to bring a horse.
"Second brother, there is no need to be like this. Although we three brothers don"t know when we will be able to reunite, the world has dispersed all sorts of banquets. We will come back to see you!"
Seeing that Young Master Yun wanted to send him off on his horse, Li Mu immediately advised him.
"That"s right, second brother, let"s go back. Big brother is going to wander around anyways, and he"ll have to come and bother you in the future."Of course, this was not because he had become sworn brothers, but because Ren Xiaoyao had heard from him that Young Master Yun had almost died in the Ancient Emperor"s tomb in order to retrieve his Herba Corydalis.
If nothing unexpected happens, I, Di Yun, will be like this for the rest of my life. The two brothers are not ordinary people, so maybe when I return in the future, I will already be a pile of dirt!
After saying that, he mounted his horse. Li Mu and Ren Xiaoyao knew that they could not persuade the other party, and could only give up. Thus, the three of them quickly left Qingyun Town, one tiger and one horse, and headed towards the distance.
Less than an hour after Li Mu and the other two had left the Qingyun Town, a fiery red light descended from the sky and landed on the streets of the Qingyun Town.The people of Qingyun Town, who were celebrating with all their might after they had settled the calamity that had befallen the corpses of Qing Yun Mountain, all froze when they saw Chu Jiao, whose upper body was completely naked and had a ferocious tattoo on it, descending upon them.
Chu Jiao was not surprised by all of this. He reached out and grabbed the air, then a strong suction force surged out, pulling the middle-aged man who was closest to him closer.
The middle-aged man was trembling in fear from Chu Jiao"s sudden grab. Although he had never seen a cultivator with the power of the sacred art, he was not stupid since he was at the middle stage of the precelestial stage. The other party"s terrifying aura that was faintly emitted from his body could not be compared to that of an Innate Ranker"s, not to mention that the other party had appeared from the sky."This person … Senior, what"s the matter? "
The middle-aged man trembled as he asked a possible expert of the sacred art realm.
"I"ll ask you a few things, and you can answer truthfully. If there"s even a single lie, bear the consequences!"
Chu Jiao"s expression was cold. In his eyes, an existence like the middle-aged man was no different from an ant."Yes, this junior will definitely speak without reserve!"
The middle-aged man was so scared that he broke out in a cold sweat and nodded his head repeatedly.
"Let me ask you, what has happened in the Azure Cloud Mountain in the past few days?" Chu Jiao asked.
It is said that a few days ago, the young master of the Di Clan, Di Yun, and an outsider joined hands to charge into the tomb and returned safely. Not long after that, the tomb of the Ancient Emperor collapsed and the numerous demon corpses disappeared without a trace.
The middle-aged man didn"t dare to lie and revealed everything that he knew.
"Di Clan?" Di Yun, outsiders, humph! Besides you all, have you heard of any disciples of the Cloud Cracking Sect partic.i.p.ating in this matter? " Chu Jiao"s face changed, and asked."Cloud Cracking Sect? No, we only heard about this from the few great clans led by the Di Clan. It seems like they didn"t mention anything about the disciples of the Cloud Cracking Sect. " The middle-aged man thought for a moment, then shook his head.
"Humph!" I doubt they have the guts to bring up my Cloud Cracking Sect and take me there! " Chu Jiao muttered to himself as he commanded the middle-aged man.
The middle-aged man didn"t know what was going on, but he didn"t dare defy the lord in front of him. He hurriedly led the way.
