Legend of Mir 2: Seeking the Truth in Marfa

"The level 100 mission has been completed. No more monster hunting today. Let's take a half-day break." Brook said.

"Okay. I've gained a lot this week, but I'm also really tired. I have to go back and get some good sleep." Wenren Muyue nodded.

The two returned to their rooms. Brooke was just about to rest when she received a message from Xiang Rong.

"Brooke, we're leaving. Let me say goodbye to you."

"Where are you? I'll go see you off."

"Changle East Gate."

"Come right away."

Brook immediately returned to the Imperial Square and then teleported to the East Gate of Changle. He met Xiang Rong and Xiang Xiu waiting there, as well as Haotian who gave him the Divine Weapon.

"Xiang Rong, how did you go back through the east gate? Shouldn't we go through the south gate?" Brooke asked.

"Anything is fine. As long as I have the location of the Fallen Divine Weapon, I can go back through any door. You... have already reached the third level?" Xiang Rong asked in surprise.

"Yes, I just transferred today. You all transferred too, congratulations." Brook turned to Haotian and said, "Haotian, have you bought all the supplies you need?"

"I have bought everything. Thank you for your help. I, Haotian, will never forget it." Haotian said.

"It will become awkward if you keep saying such polite words. By the way, where are the others? Where is Xiang Bao?" Brooke asked.

"Xiang Bao followed Lei Xing, Bai Zhi and others to go outside to find the ancient god of war." Xiang Rong said.

The ancient god of war, whose true form is the Dark Dragon Lord, has 18 HP and is located near the east gate of Changle.

"Why don't you go?"

"Let's not go there. It's nice to enjoy the scenery here. In fact, it's not such a coincidence that the Ancient God of War would spawn here. They are also thinking that they will leave soon and feel reluctant, so they want to go out for a walk before leaving and kill a monster as a souvenir. The Iris Lord and the Yellow Spring Lord may also spawn near the Ancient God of War, and if you are lucky, they may drop a skill book. Let them go and let them fulfill their wish. I don't know when they will come again next time." Xiang Rong said with emotion.

Brooke felt touched. The Dragon Empire was a treasure trove, and if he were to leave, he would probably be reluctant to do so.

At this moment, Brook suddenly noticed a white-robed monk standing in the distance. This man was Murong Yukang, the guide of Changle East Gate, who was looking at this side with a smile.

Murong Yukang? Someone from the Murong family?

Brooke had heard Ren Muyue say that the Murong family was the most powerful family besides the three major families, and that they seemed to have been on good terms with the Ximen family for generations. The Ximen family had recently been hunting down Xiang Rong, Lei Xing, and the others.

Brooke felt an ominous feeling in his heart.

"It's getting late, let Lei Xing and the others come back." Brook said.

Brooke wasn't in the group at the moment, so his voice would have been heard. As he spoke, he winked at Xiang Rong, signaling that there was something wrong with the man in the distance.

"...Oh, you're right. I'll contact them right away." Xiang Rong was a little confused, but he still understood Brook's intention.

"They'll be right back."

Brook, Xiang Rong, Xiang Xiu, and Hao Tian were waiting inside the gatehouse. This was a safe zone, where they could sit or stand without worrying about anything. However, once they walked out of the Changle East Gate, they would enter the outskirts of the Shenlong Empire, so they had to be careful.

A few minutes later, the figures of Lei Xing, Lei Ming, Bai Zhu, Lan Xin, and Xiang Bao appeared. They came closer and closer, waving to Brook and the others from a distance of more than 5 yards.

"Haha, Brook, long time no see!" Lei Xing said with a smile.

"How was the harvest?" Brook responded with a smile.

"Hey, we took action, so of course we came back with a lot of rewards! The Rainbow Demon Sect Leader dropped a copy of 'Ice Roar', and the Yellow Spring Sect Leader dropped a copy of 'Fiery Sword Technique', and we earned another 40 Yuanbao. We can buy a few more Demon Blood Stones to take back!"

Getting two books in a row was definitely a stroke of luck. Random Stones, City Recall Stones, and Magic Blood Stones were all rare items on the Marfa continent. If you didn't have gems or crystals, taking some Magic Blood Stones back with you would be a great option.

Brook was about to offer some praise when he heard a whoosh behind him. He frowned and turned to look. He saw a figure passing by at such speed that only a series of illusory afterimages were left behind. The person's real body had already rushed out of the gatehouse.

Brook's heart trembled. He had only seen this kind of speed in the Dark Palace Chicken.

"Be careful!" Brook blurted out.

The others were a bit slow to react. By the time they came to their senses, a beam of white sword energy had already struck Lei Xing, who was walking in the front.

With a "crackling" sound, white light descended, and Lei Xing fell to the ground. A huge explosion occurred! Skill books, magic blood stones, and other items were all exploded.

"come on in!"

"Go back to the city!"

Xiang Rong and Hao Tian said anxiously. As long as you enter the gatehouse, you're in the safe zone. Or you can just go back to the city.

"Swish!" Another sound of a weapon whirring through the air was heard. A flash of yellow light passed by, and Lei Ming, still three yards away, fell to the ground! Something exploded, and a stick-like object, barely touching the ground, was snatched up by the man. He didn't even glance at the other objects, but rushed towards Bao.

Bai Zhu and Lan Xin were close to the gatehouse, and after a few steps, they had already entered the safe zone. Xiang Bao, the youngest and the last one to walk, was stunned by the scene before him and frightened by the afterimage that rushed towards him, and he was actually frozen in place.

"Xiaobao, go back to the city quickly!" Xiang Xiu shouted anxiously, his voice becoming sharp and piercing.

Xiang Bao finally reacted and immediately activated his City Stone. "Clang!" The Fiery Sword Technique descended, and Xiang Bao fell to the ground. The man was too fast, and Xiang Bao still had no time to escape.

In the blink of an eye, three kills! The man finally stopped. Only then did everyone see his name clearly.

Ximen Kongmie!

Ximen Kongmie looked at the items that had exploded on the ground. Seeing that no fallen divine weapons had been found, he curled his lips in disdain. Then he looked at the people inside the gatehouse with a sharp look in his eyes. The corners of his mouth gradually widened, revealing his pale teeth, and he actually smiled.

"Come out and take revenge." Ximen Kongmie said with a smile.

Everyone clenched their fists and stared at him.

Ximen Kongmie glanced at Xiang Rong and Haotian one by one, and said disdainfully, "Trash."

He glanced at Bai Zhu, Lan Xin, and Xiang Xiu again, and said casually, "Bitch."

Several people gritted their teeth. Monks always spoke on the basis of strength, and verbal abuse was too vulgar.

"You will not die a good death!" Haotian said coldly.

"Haotian, from District 5 Haoran. I will remember you. If I have the chance, I will go to your district to find you." Ximen Kongmie smiled, his smile a little cruel.

Haotian's face darkened. He wasn't afraid of death; he was afraid that if Ximen Kongmie really went to their district, he might cause trouble. He shouldn't have provoked this madman with his words.

Ximen Kongmie looked at Brook again, frowned slightly and said, "Lucky Veil? 3rd turn? Are you also a Marfa monk?"

Brooke slowly shook his head and said, "Wenren Zhong of the Wenren Family is my cousin. Senior, you are truly impressive! But as a rank 6 cultivator, attacking several rank 1 juniors is truly damaging to your reputation."

"I'm acting on behalf of Heaven, why would I want to damage my reputation? Since you're from the Wenren family, I advise you to stay away from these Marfa thieves who are blocking the road and robbing people, so as to avoid any accidental injuries."

Xiang Rong was about to retort, but Brooke stopped him. Ximen Kongmie was just looking for an excuse to kill someone, so there was no need to argue with him.

"They have suffered several casualties and have paid a heavy price. Now we are about to leave, so please be tolerant and don't bother about blocking their way before." While comforting everyone, Brook responded to Ximen Kongmie calmly, speaking calmly and calmly.

Seeing that the few people refused to leave the safe zone, Ximen Kongmie knew that his provocation would fail, so he said, "You blocked the road and robbed my Ximen family. This is a lesson for you." After that, he disappeared and went back to the city.

Lei Xing and Xiang Bao had resurrected in the Shenlong Empire's safe zone and teleported back here. They'd both already been transformed, having only wasted a precious rebirth opportunity, not truly died. But Lei Ming was unlucky. A mage with low health, he'd been ambushed during the day, using up his rebirth points. Lei Ming's death was truly complete, and his decrepit divine weapon was also picked up by Ximen Kongmie.

Everyone felt a bit heavy-hearted. They were about to leave, and yet this happened. The Ximen family was so shameless, actually sending out a rank 6 cultivator to deal with them just for a fallen divine soldier. But they were helpless. The gap in strength between the two sides was too great, and they feared they would never be able to avenge this vengeance.

"Life and death are inevitable. You and I, cultivators, have long taken life and death lightly. Haochen, Muyao, Baizhu, Leiming, they just went one step ahead of us. Everyone, please be more positive." Xiang Rong comforted everyone.

"That's right! Monsters are rampant in the world now, and the strong prey on the weak among cultivators. Sooner or later, we will follow in their footsteps. Lei Ming, you go first. While this is going on, I'll have a good time with it. Later, I'll come find you for drinks and tea." Lei Xing said proudly.

He then collected Lei Ming's body and went to the East Gate teleportation platform with everyone else.

"After we part here, I don't know when we'll meet again. Take care, brothers!"

"Take care! Goodbye!"

Everyone bid farewell to each other. Then they activated their fallen divine weapons, and streaks of white light shot up into the sky, then fell to the ground like a meteor, disappearing in an instant.
