Master's Chief Disciple

Mu Huayan seemed to be thinking about something. After a moment's silence, she murmured, "Poisonous insect? The letter mentioned that he was the current emperor's personal guard."

"Well, wouldn't it be dangerous if she returned to the palace?" Han Qi said.

"Take me to see this person's condition first."

After checking the man's injuries, she tried to force the bug out of his body, but the result was still the same as before.

She had no choice but to leave the room and shook her head, "I can't cure this poisonous insect either, but there is someone who can."

"who?"

"Demon Lord."

"Should we invite him? But is he willing to come here?"

"I'm sure I can give it a try."

"Han Qixi, go follow Song Wanyin. I'm worried about a trick. Remember to investigate the situation in the palace."

Han Qixi was about to agree when the little fox barged in, "Sister Mu! I, I want to go to the palace too."

Mu Huayan was somewhat reluctant in her heart. After all, she had not collected much useful information when she was sent to spy on the enemy.

She cleared her throat, her eyes flickered, and she bit her lip lightly, "Um, Ruxi, the people in the palace are very cunning... Aren't you afraid?"

She patted her chest with innocent eyes and said, "I am the Demon King, what is there to be afraid of!"

Seeing that Mu Huayan hadn't said anything, she continued, "Besides, how could you let the little prince follow and protect other girls?"

Then she said confidently: "He should be by your side to protect you, so just leave tasks like this to me."

Mu Huayan: "I..."

Han Qixi: "I..."

The two of them spoke almost at the same time, but paused at the same time. Seeing how well they understood each other, Ruxi began to smile and applaud.

"Sister Mu, just let me go. I promise to complete the task you assign to me." She turned and grabbed Mu Huayan's arm and rubbed it continuously.

"Ruxi, stop messing around and be obedient. Senior sister may have other more important tasks to assign to you." Han Qixi hurriedly tried to smooth things over.

"I don't want it, I want to go to the palace!"

After she finished speaking, she transformed into a little fox, jumped onto her shoulders and rubbed her face continuously.

"Sister Mu, please just let me go."

"Back then you asked me to pretend to be Princess Yunmeng and collect intelligence, and I completed the task successfully."

"Also, I read a lot of books in that mansion, so I know a lot about the affairs in the palace."

Mu Huayan couldn't stand her acting so cute, so she had to agree to her request and explained the task details and matters to be aware of.

After receiving the order, she turned into a beam of light and quickly rushed to where Song Wanyin was;

Then Bai Yu and Bai Qige came in. She happened to have a task to assign to them.

"Bai Qige, Bai Yu, the two of you continue to search for Zhong Siyao's whereabouts."

As soon as he finished speaking, hurried footsteps were heard outside. Several monks walked in tiredly. They were people from the Marquis's Mansion.

They saw Tang Xuanze standing and stepped forward to report to him, "Second Young Master..."

But they seemed to be hesitant to speak, because Tang Xuanze had already entered the Shenyang Tian Sect, and they didn't know whether they should tell him.

Moreover, Mu Huayan and the others seemed to be discussing something important, so they did not dare to disturb them.

Tang Xuanze smiled and said, "Don't worry, just say it directly."

"A few troublesome ladies came out of the palace. They said they came to the temple to pray for blessings, but for some reason they started fighting;"

"I, we tried to stop them, but it didn't work. If they continue to fight, I'm afraid..."

After the words were spoken, several monks showed a trace of uneasiness on their faces.

"Second Young Master, please go and take a look."

Tang Xuanze was puzzled. After all, they were in the Extreme Wilderness, so how could they not be able to deal with a few women? Perhaps the other party was of a noble status.

"Have you seen my eldest brother?" Tang Xuanze asked doubtfully, but in fact he wanted them to go to Tang Linfeng to deal with it.

At this time, there were several civilians and monks outside the door. They looked dissatisfied and rushed in aggressively to ask for punishment.

"Where is the Marquis? Those people are causing chaos in the temple."

"That's right, why hasn't anyone from your mansion stepped forward to take care of it?"

"Those people claimed to have come out of the palace. Send someone to deal with them."

"......"

Mu Huayan nodded slightly to Tang Xuanze to indicate that she agreed to let him solve the problem. After all, they were still in Tiannan Marquis Mansion, and no matter what, he was still the second son of the Marquis Mansion.

Bai Yu and the others said goodbye to her and left the mansion to look for Zhong Siyao.

Han Jin first came and went without a trace, and now he is missing again.

Time was running out. When Mu Huayan had just finished explaining the mission to Han Qixi and the others and was about to leave to find the Demon Lord,

Several wisps of murderous aura quickly passed over the Marquis' Mansion, attracting her attention. This murderous aura was very familiar, it was from the demon clan.

She looked calm, but she was puzzled as to why the demons appeared in the imperial capital, and the murderous aura was emitted from the demon soldiers.

But she didn't think much about it and prepared to go to the Starfall Demon Realm. To get to this place, she had to cross the Beiyao Continent.

"Senior sister!"

Fang Hanyu ran over in a hurry with a serious look on her face. Her right arm was injured and blood was gushing out. Mu Huayan raised her hand with a stern look on her face and covered her wound.

"What happened?" Han Qixi asked.

As a trace of spiritual energy flowed through her arm, the wound gradually healed, and her complexion regained a bit of color.

"Ruyin and I went to the Manghu Forest to pick spiritual herbs and were attacked by the demons. She is still fighting the demon soldiers."

"Demon!"

Could the murderous intent that Mu Huayan just sensed be related to this? "You wait here, I'll go find her."

She came to the forest that Fang Hanyu mentioned. There were indeed signs of fighting here, and the fallen leaves on the ground were stained with blood.

There was still a faint smell of demons around her. She followed the traces of fighting and the smell all the way to the edge of a cliff.

Her spiritual sense had been spreading out but she couldn't detect Leng Ruyin's breath. "Could it be that she fell off the cliff? That's not right!"

Mu Huayan concentrated her mind and spread out her huge spiritual consciousness. Sure enough, there were many demon soldiers lurking in the jungle opposite.

They activated a formation that could shield their own aura and consciousness. Mu Huayan locked onto their position and quickly fired a sword.

The sharp sword energy smashed the demon soldiers into pieces. A hurried voice came from a distance, "Sister Mu! Don't come over."

The demon soldiers quickly got up and shook their dizzy heads. Some of them reacted and started to attack Mu Huayan with sharp weapons.

She summoned a pair of milky white short blades, manipulating them to draw graceful arcs in midair. Screams were heard one after another as the sharp blades moved around the demon soldiers.

At the same time, she teleported to the place where the demon soldier fell. The double blades flew in her palm for a moment and then disappeared.

She could vaguely hear rustling sounds in the deep forest ahead. She turned her consciousness into sharp arrows and shot them in a certain direction in the distance.

A transparent wall was instantly destroyed, and the people inside also received a great impact. The person leaned forward slightly, and everything in front of him was dark.

The captured Fang Ruyin immediately found the right moment to jump back, and fetched a large rock from the side and threw it hard at the man's back.

The man spat out a mouthful of blood with a cry of pain. Suddenly, several spots of light fell on him. No matter how he struggled, it was futile.

"Who are you? Why did you attack my companions?" Mu Huayan asked coldly.

There were many guards lying on the ground, already dead.

The man moved his lips, a hint of coldness flashed across his eyes, and after a moment of silence, he replied in a trembling voice: "I am a member of the demon clan, entrusted by someone!"

"Who ordered you to do that?"

“I don’t know who the other party is.”

Suddenly his body began to glow with a greenish glow, and a foul smell like a stinking sewer emanated from it.

A green mark appeared on his forehead, and as the mark flashed, the man's body made a creaking sound.

Mu Huayan realized that this person was not right and must have been bewitched, so she pulled Fang Ruyin back a few feet.

As soon as the two of them landed on the ground, the man's body exploded with a bang and turned into countless small green fat worms.

These insects were particularly excited when they smelled the scent of humans. They bent their bodies and made an attacking gesture.

Seeing the insects like this, they couldn't help but tremble. Mu Huayan tried to take a step to the right, but all the insects jumped up and pounced on her.

She raised her hand hastily and a flame hit them, making a crackling sound. A bird on the ground cried out in pain.

As the chirping gradually faded, a bug came out from the top of the bird's head, and a crackling sound came from the bird's body.

An autumn wind blew away the feathers on the ground, and the birds' internal organs were eaten by insects.

Fang Ruyin looked at the place where the bird fell with lingering fear. If the two of them had noticed something a little later, who knows what the consequences would have been.

The bugs were burned by Mu Huayan's fire. She sighed inwardly. She had originally thought that she could find some clues here, but now it seemed that she could only go to the Falling Star Demon Realm.

But Mu Huayan received a message from Tang Xuanze asking her to go to Hongfu Temple as soon as possible because there was an important discovery.

It should be very lively at noon, but the temple is very deserted at this time, so deserted that you can hear the hissing sound of burning candles.
