Legend of Mir 2: Seeking the Truth in Marfa

"Are they really gone?" Haotian asked.

"Yeah, he's really gone." Brooke said.

"They said they won't come anymore?" Xiang Rong asked.

"Well, that's what I said." Brooke said.

Xiang Rong and Hao Tian still found it a bit unbelievable. They were hiding behind a wall and didn't see the fight going on. When Brook called them out from the team, the other party had already stopped.

"Thanks to you for coming this time. Thank you!" Xiang Rong said gratefully.

"We're all family, no need to be polite." Brook asked, "Your team was full before, why aren't you all here?"

"...We were ambushed by the monks from the Dragon Empire."

"what happened?"

"Alas~ We blocked the road in the Demon Sealing Parkour map before and offended many people. After the underground palace trial was over, some people came to seek revenge. Lei Xing and I were lucky enough to escape. But Haotian and the others were unlucky. Only Haotian escaped back to the city; and Bai Zhu also died to protect his teammates." Xiang Rong sighed.

"...Where were you attacked?"

"In the illusionary map. Those people were guarding the entrance to the third level of the illusionary realm. They attacked without a word the moment they entered." Haotian said bitterly, "Among those who attacked us, there were not only first-level cultivators, but also two second-level cultivators."

"Who are they?"

"They should be from the Ximen family. There is a Ximen Wuque and a Ximen Wuhui, but I couldn't see the others clearly. The second-level cultivators are named Cai Zi and Cai Wu." Haotian said.

"The Ximen family is a noble family after all, but they actually launched a sneak attack against a few newcomers? This is not good." Brook shook his head after hearing this.

"What can't these monks from the Dragon Empire do? Many people have been watching us during the day, so we don't even dare to leave the safe zone." Xiang Rong said.

"I think they are not just seeking revenge. They seem to want to blow up our fallen divine weapons." Haotian suddenly said.

"Oh, why do you say that?"

"Because after they kill someone, the first thing they do is not to continue attacking the next person, but to rush to pick up the items on the ground. We are just newcomers who haven't been reincarnated yet. How can we have any good equipment? Except for the Fallen Divine Weapon."

"Isn't the Fallen Divine Weapon bound to us? What do they want it for?" Brooke was puzzled.

"Of course I want to go to the Marfa Continent. Once the Fallen Divine Weapon is used, it will be bound to the user, and other people cannot use it even if they get it. However, I heard that the blacksmiths of the Dragon Empire can decompose the Fallen Divine Weapon and split it into dozens of fragments. In this way, it can be used." Haotian said.

"Can fragments be used? How?"

"I don't know exactly how to use it. I just heard that it can randomly land on the Marfa continent in the netherworld, but the stay is very short, only a few hours."

"They're going to use the fragments to get to Marfa... Oh, I get it!"

Brooke understood. The Ximen family had somehow learned of Xiang Rong and the others' identities as Marfa monks. They'd claimed revenge for being blocked and charged a toll, but that was just an excuse. Their real goal was to obtain the fallen divine weapon and use its fragments to travel to Marfa. Ultimately, their goal was to find the artifact!

The Dragon Empire wouldn't allow them to openly kill the Marfa monks from the Lower Realm. Otherwise, Brooke and the others would have been killed as soon as they teleported to the Dragon Empire. If it were truly that dangerous, Master and the others would have definitely informed them in advance.

However, if there is a feud between monks, the Shenlong Empire will not interfere. It is precisely because they have a suitable excuse that the Ximen family dares to do so.

It seems that one's identity must be kept as confidential as possible, otherwise it will always be a hidden danger.

In the Dragon Empire, the only people who knew Brook's identity were Wenren Muyun, Muxue, and Muyue, and the three Lu brothers. This matter needed to be handled.

"What are your plans next?" Brook asked.

"It's not safe during the day. Even if we go to the Novice Underground Palace, although we won't encounter reincarnated cultivators, there will definitely be other new cultivators looking for trouble. We can only wait until night when there are fewer people. There's no other way, we'll just have to stay like this for a few days." Xiang Rong said helplessly, then looked at Haotian and said, "We're better off. Haotian came here with a mission. Alas, he's in a difficult situation."

"What mission?"

"It's a task to purchase supplies. Secondly, the three of us want to reincarnate." Haotian said, "When we came to the Shenlong Empire, we all had gold ingots on us. We originally planned to purchase supplies after reincarnation, but we didn't expect this to happen. Now I only have the gold ingots on me, which is not enough to buy all the supplies on the task list. I must get enough gold ingots for equipment and buy enough supplies before I can go home."

"Impossible... the difference is too great. You'd better buy less. Go back and explain it properly. Don't put all the pressure on yourself." Xiang Rong advised.

"No! When the three of us came here, we promised to complete the mission. That's the gold ingots accumulated by several of our predecessors on the continent. Even if I'm the only one left, I must complete the mission!"

"By then, we'll all be gone, and you'll be the only warrior left. How are you going to kill the leader?"

"I can use assassination! If it doesn't work, I can also find someone to form a new team." Haotian said stubbornly.

"Ah~" Xiang Rong sighed.

Brook suddenly remembered the lone warrior he had met before, who kept shouting for help in killing the leader in the safe zone. After shouting for a long time, no one paid attention to him, only mocking him.

Warriors are very weak in the early stages, unlike Taoist priests and mages who can kill bosses alone.

"Haotian, what supplies do you need to purchase?"

"You're one of us, so I can tell you. You'll need a total of 5 gems, 10 crystals, and varying amounts of City Recall Stones, Random Stones, Magic Blood Stones, and other supplies, totaling approximately 9000 Yuanbao worth. Honestly, I brought 5000 Yuanbao with me. Haochen and Biyao each brought 2500 Yuanbao. It was enough to buy supplies and reincarnate, but they died, and the Yuanbao is gone."

Brooke couldn't help but be shocked. He didn't expect Haotian to have such a huge sum of money and hide it!

"So how much do you need now?" Brooke asked.

"We each got 300 Yuanbao from the road blockage and made a fortune, but it's just enough for reincarnation. He wants to buy all the supplies, but he still needs at least 4000 Yuanbao, and the Yuanbao from all of us combined is not enough. We have been buying blood essence these days, and it will take 2 or 3 days for reincarnation. The daily head tax will double after reincarnation, which is too expensive. We will probably leave unless we can get expensive items like gem crystals. Then he will be the only one left. 4000 Yuanbao! How do you think a soldier like him can earn it?" Xiang Rong said first.

Haotian also lowered his head. But he stood up again stubbornly. How to fight? Just fight slowly.

Brook thought for a moment and said:

"Brother Haotian, can you show me the 5000 Yuanbao you have on you? It's not that I don't trust you, but the amount is so huge that I have to confirm it. Perhaps I can help you."

"Really!" Haotian's eyes immediately lit up.

Xiang Rong also looked at Brook in disbelief.

Brooke nodded.

"it is good!"

Haotian said this and immediately walked up to Brook, initiated a deal with Brook, and put up his entire fortune, 5280 yuan, as proof to Brook.

Brook canceled the deal. He saw clearly. What Haotian said was true.

Then, Brook reinitiated the transaction, placing 10 crystals, 860 creation stones, and 400 ingots in the transaction column.

These things were almost all Brooke had at the moment, and he only kept 96 gold ingots for pocket money.

Requested transaction, confirmed by the other party.

Haotian took a deep breath. After a moment's thought, he decisively took out an item from his backpack and placed it in the trading column.

Confirm the transaction and the transaction is complete.

Brook was stunned when he saw the items he had traded with. He asked, "Brother Haotian, what are you doing?"

"Thank you so much! I have nothing to repay you with, so this is the only thing I can give you. I hope it will be useful to you in the future."

"You gave it to me, how are you going to get home?" Brooke asked.

"The one I gave you is not mine, it belongs to Haochen. When Haochen was killed, it happened to fall in front of me and I picked it up. But Biyao's was picked up by someone from the Ximen family." Haotian explained.

All right. Brooke looked at it carefully again before putting the things away.

Haotian gave him a desolate divine weapon!
