1261 The Skeletal Remains of Heroes (1)
The entire Xuan Ming Heavenly Kingdom was full of heavy water. In Zhou Shu’s imagination, he completely regarded the Xuan Ming Heavenly Kingdom as an incomparably ma.s.sive water ball.
Of course, the Xuan Ming Heavenly Kingdom might not be spherical.
Zhou Shu and Mu Zhixing, shrouded in black robes, walked on the coral island in the heavy water.
It felt very strange. They lived in water but were not fish.
Apart from the Xuan Ming Heavenly Kingdom, he would probably never experience this anywhere else.
But Zhou Shu wasn’t in the mood to be curious now. The more he saw the people of the Xuan Ming Heavenly Kingdom moving freely in the heavy water, the more anxious he became.
Now, he could understand why Mu Zhixing had been so nervous when he first came over, telling him not to cause any commotion.
There were too many experts in the Xuan Ming Heavenly Kingdom. If they discovered them, once they fell into an encirclement, even with their strength, they would suffer.
If anything went wrong, he might die here.
It was not a joke that ants could kill an elephant if there were enough of them.
Zhou Shu only hoped that Zhang San, w.a.n.g Xuanyi, and the others had not fallen into the hands of the Xuan Ming Heavenly Kingdom.
Zhou Shu had the wily old fox Mu Zhixing leading the way.
But they didn’t have this advantage. If they encountered enemies when they first arrived, they might fall under attack directly.
He only hoped that Zhang San would be cautious enough with his experience as a scout.
It had to be said that Mu Zhixing had not stayed in the Xuan Ming Heavenly Kingdom for nothing.
He quickly found a local tyrant in the Xuan Ming Heavenly Kingdom. After he promised some benefits, the local tyrant spoke without asking about their ident.i.ties.
“You want to ask about outsiders in the Xuan Ming Heavenly Kingdom?”
The cultivation of the local tyrant was not high. He was only at the peak of the Earth Immortal realm. There was a single horn on his head, and it was the same color as the coral island under their feet. It was so red that it was crystal clear.
“Our Xuan Ming Heavenly Kingdom has been locked down for many years and prohibited outsiders from entering,” the local tyrant continued. “But a few days ago, a few fellows came from somewhere.
“They injured a few people and ran away. The higher-ups have sent people everywhere to track them down.”
The local tyrant chuckled. “Both of you are also here for the bounty, right?
“To be honest, if I knew their whereabouts, I would go to collect the bounty myself. You wouldn’t have the chance. Heh, the higher-ups have invested a lot this time…”
Bounty? When Zhou Shu heard this, he heaved a sigh of relief.
Since there was a bounty, it meant that Zhang San, w.a.n.g Xuanyi, and the others had yet to fall into the hands of the Xuan Ming Heavenly Kingdom.
“Mu Zhixing, ask them if they know Cang Hao.” Zhou Shu sent a voice transmission to Mu Zhixing.
Mu Zhixing turned around and glanced at Zhou Shu. He didn’t ask according to Zhou Shu’s voice transmission. Instead, he exchanged a few words with the local tyrant before turning to leave.
Zhou Shu frowned, but he didn’t act rashly. Instead, he followed Mu Zhixing back to his small courtyard.
“Mu Zhixing, what do you mean?” Zhou Shu said coldly.
“Your Highness, please calm down.” Mu Zhixing took off his black robe. “Your Highness, if you want to find Cang Hao, you don’t have to ask them. I know.”
“You know about it?” Zhou Shu frowned.
Mu Zhixing didn’t hide anything and said seriously, “That’s right, Your Highness. To be honest, I met Cang Hao back then. That’s how I found out that the Freedom Transformation Technique was in the ancestral land.
“I came into contact with Cang Hao, so I could tell that he was an incarnation created from the Freedom Transformation Technique.”
Zhou Shu narrowed his eyes and looked at Mu Zhixing. “You can tell if an incarnation was from the Freedom Transformation Technique?”
“I once obtained a mystic technique…” Mu Zhixing regretted his slip of the tongue, but it was too late to regret it now. “It’s just a minor technique. It might not be accurate.
“Your Highness, Cang Hao is a well-known rebel in the Xuan Ming Heavenly Kingdom. He’s the kind that can stop children crying at night. If you asked just now, I’m afraid it would have attracted the attention of the Xuan Ming Heavenly Kingdom.”
Mu Zhixing changed the topic. “If you want to find Cang Hao, I know a way.”
He was confident.
Zhou Shu snorted. Cang Hao was his incarnation. Unless he retracted his incarnation, he didn’t know where to find Cang Hao. How would Mu Zhixing know?
It seemed that Mu Zhixing knew more than he had thought.
“What is it? Just say it,” Zhou Shu said sternly.
Mu Zhixing said, “Cang Hao is a great rebel. The Xuan Ming Heavenly Kingdom has always wanted to get rid of him. As long as he dares to appear, he will definitely be hunted down. Therefore, his whereabouts have always been a secret.
“But I’ve met Cang Hao once and know that he appears in one place every once in a while.”
Mu Zhixing knew that Cang Hao was Zhou Shu’s incarnation, so he didn’t hide anything. “Coincidentally, that place isn’t far from here. Your Highness, follow me!”
…
Just as Mu Zhixing and Zhou Shu were on their way, there was a dead island not far from the red coral island.
The Xuan Ming Heavenly Kingdom was full of heavy water, so there was naturally no such thing as underwater.
The only land here was coral islands.
Some coral islands glowed, while others seemed to have died without any life.
This was the case for this coral island. It was completely gray, and it was difficult to see its existence in the darkness.
At this moment, there were specks of light on the island, vaguely illuminating the situation on the island.
The coral island was very small, only about three to five kilometers in radius.
But it was full of tombstones!
“The tomb of the giant spirit race’s Cang Shan.”
“The tomb of the griffin race’s Feng Jing.”
“The tomb of the bai ze race’s Bai Lianshan.”
