Legend of Mir 2: Seeking the Truth in Marfa

Brook and Wenren Muyue returned to Wushuang City Square.

@serching Bayin

Bayin is now located in the Shenlong Empire.

This location is not inside the Wenren family mansion, but on the outskirts of the Shenlong Empire.

@serching Tuoba Hongye

Tuoba Hongye is now in the Shenlong Empire.

This location is the Shenlong Empire Square.

Brook was about to teleport over to find Bayin.

"Wait a minute! Mu Yue had better not go!" The person who shouted was Wen Renzhong, who also came out of the Battle of Guandu.

Tuoba Hongye has always been resentful towards the Wen family because of Tuoba Li's death, especially Wenren Muyue, who won the underground palace trial with him.

"What happened to Sister Bayin? Tell me quickly." Wenren Muyue said anxiously.

"It's just a minor trouble, I'll take care of it. Muyue, you and Uncle Zhong stay here." Brooke smiled slightly and said calmly, "Be obedient. Wait for us to come back."

Brook disappeared with a whoosh, and when he reappeared, he was already next to Bayin.

"Bayin, I'm here. Tell me what happened."

Shenlong Empire Square.

"For a mere rank 6 cultivator, we have to seal the entire imperial continent. Is it necessary to make such a big fuss?" Duanmu Duxing said dissatisfiedly.

"This is a matter involving the emperor, and we cannot be careless. How long will it take for the formation to cover the entire continent?" Tuoba Hongye said.

"I've ordered people to activate the sealing formation simultaneously in the four directions. It will cover the entire empire in half an hour at most. However, are you sure she's still in the Shenlong Empire? Don't let Wuying Palace's efforts be in vain."

"I checked with the detection necklace, and she's just outside the Empire."

Duanmu Duxing thought for a moment and then asked, "Shouldn't Your Majesty be staying in the Imperial Palace at this time? Why did you go to Wenhua Hall?"

"I don't know. When I rushed over, His Majesty was already outside. That girl happened to see him."

"Humph! How do Wan Tiancheng, Luo Xuan, and the others manage to do anything? They can't even defend the imperial palace!"

"Your Majesty is furious, and the Imperial City Guards are of course unable to stop him. This incident should just be an accident. However, that girl must be dealt with as soon as possible. If the news gets out, the consequences will be disastrous."

"That's right! I don't think you should wait here. Take the initiative. I'll be here for you." Duanmu Duxing also realized the seriousness of the situation. The secrets of the Dragon Emperor must not be known to outsiders.

"That girl has a teleportation ring. My Tuoba family has always been short of a teleportation ring. How about lending me the one from your Duanmu family?" Tuoba Hongye suggested.

"I don't have any. If you have the guts, go borrow some from my eldest brother."

"Forget it then. With your eldest brother's temper, I doubt even you would be able to borrow it, let alone me. I'll find another way." Tuoba Hongye suddenly changed the subject and said, "Let me tell you a joke: someone told me that the Wenren family has at least two teleportation rings! And they're worn by those kids under 2 years old!"

Duanmu Duxing didn't react much after hearing this, he just narrowed his eyes slightly.

Instead, Tuoba Hongye laughed heartily, walked towards the teleportation specialist beside him, and then disappeared, with no one knowing where he was teleported to.

※ ※ ※ ※ ※ ※

4th Continent, Wolong Villa, Owner's Hall.

"Is everything going well?"

"Everything is going according to plan. Brother Renlong, what a great plan and strategy! No wonder Wolong Village is thriving under your leadership!"

"Your Excellency, Chief, is too kind. When this is finally done, don't forget to give Wolong Villa a share of the profits!"

"Haha, I, Tuoba Hongye, value loyalty and trustworthiness the most, and I won't forget! However, we'd better get rid of that girl before the sealing formation closes! If we wait until the formation closes and then let the people from Wuying Palace and Luo Xuan rush over, the artifact will not be exclusive to our two families."

"The Patriarch is right."

"So, I need to borrow a teleportation ring from you first!" Tuoba Hongye stared at the other party and told him the purpose of this trip.

Xiao Renlong paused, then suddenly burst into laughter. "Ahahahaha~ Chief, you're joking. What do you mean by borrowing? I can just go with you! My Wolong Villa's teleportation ring has grown over hundreds of years and is now at the second level, capable of teleporting two people. Chief, you wouldn't be so unwilling to go with me because I'm too weak, would you?"

After all the talk, he still refused to lend it! This old fox! It must be very uncomfortable for two grown men to hug each other and teleport together! Tuoba Hongye cursed in his heart, but he still kept a smile on his face. For the sake of the artifact, he could only endure it.

"I am extremely happy to have Brother Renlong accompany me!"

"I am deeply honored to work hand in hand with the clan leader! If you and I attack together, that girl will be killed instantly and there will be no possibility of survival." Xiao Renlong said respectfully.

"I hope I can get the teleportation ring on the first try."

"I assume the clan leader is already wearing top-tier fashion, right? Two tier 4 fashion pieces, plus a tier 9 Lucky Veil, with a combined 40% drop rate, is more than enough! The clan leader will surely get what he wants!"

"Haha~ Without further ado, let's go!"

The two of them stood up and walked to the Shenlong Empire Square. Then, shoulder to shoulder, hand in hand, they quietly clung to each other. Under the surprised gazes of everyone in the square, they disappeared with a whoosh.

※ ※ ※ ※ ※ ※

"2 million HP?!" Brook said in surprise.

"Yes! When the Dragon Emperor appeared, he was attacked by someone unknown, and his health was already revealed. I confirmed it twice, and it was indeed 2 million." Bayin said.

"and then?"

"I had just walked out of Wenhua Hall. The Dragon Emperor saw me and walked straight towards me. I was about to step forward to salute him, but he suddenly unleashed a ranged attack! He instantly shattered my protective shield and took away half my health. I quickly retreated. His movements seemed a bit clumsy, and he didn't catch up immediately. After a second, he began to chase me. His movements... were very much like those of a humanoid monster!"

A humanoid monster?!

Brook had seen some powerful humanoid monsters in the Warcraft battlefield. For example, the Creation Spirit, with a HP of 4000 million. Yuan Bufan had also told him that after the Creation Spirit, there was the even more powerful Destroyer.

If the Dragon Emperor is a humanoid monster, then he must be more advanced than the Creator and the Destroyer.

But how could the Shenlong Empire be a humanoid monster?! Brooke had heard Wenren Tianxiang talk about how, although the Shenlong Emperor remained in the palace year-round, he would regularly summon his ministers, and even Wenren Tianxiang would occasionally visit. If it truly was a mindless humanoid monster, how would it handle government affairs and receive ministers?

There must be something hidden here. Could it be that this Divine Dragon Emperor is not that Divine Dragon Emperor? Are there two, one real and one fake?

"Brooke, look ahead."

Brook looked up, but saw nothing.

Congeal!

Only then did they discover that there was a circular cover in the distance that was rapidly expanding and spreading to the surroundings.

"Such a large sealing formation would require a lot of crystal gems. There's one on the left as well. Haha, they really spent a lot of money to deal with you."

"What should we do? How about going to the ancient battlefield of Wushuang City?" Bayin suggested.

"Wushuang City also belongs to the empire. Even if they really hide in the ancient battlefield, they can still chase them in." Brook shook his head.

"Then we can only return to Marfa Continent."

Returning to the continent of Marfa is indeed an option.

Although Bayin was a Rank 6 cultivator and couldn't carry divine weapon fragments, he could carry a complete, desolate divine weapon. Bayin also had a half-used desolate divine weapon in his backpack from Area 10's Light! This desolate divine weapon could directly locate Area 10's Light. Brook also had a few divine weapon fragments left. If he and Bayin teamed up, with Bayin as leader, the two could teleport back to Area 10's Light together.

However, there was a problem. To avoid suspicion, Brooke and Bayin had asked Wenren Muyun for help in concealing their identities as cultivators from the Marfa Continent. The Yongning South Gate's records contained no entry records for the two. If they were to return now, the fact that a rank 6 cultivator could actually return to the Marfa Continent would undoubtedly arouse suspicion among the imperial high command.

Exposing their identities was a minor issue, but implicating Wenren Muyun was a major one. Under normal circumstances, the worst that could happen was a dismissal and investigation. But now, Bayin was a wanted criminal, and if Wenren Muyun was exposed, the trouble could be huge.

Brook still shook his head and expressed his concerns. Bayin didn't know what to do for a moment.

The two were thinking of a countermeasure when suddenly there was a whoosh sound beside them. They subconsciously turned around and looked, thinking it was Wenren Muyue coming.

What he saw was not Mu Yue, but a sharp white light and a rain of fire all over the sky!

Brook's shield was broken and most of his health was lost!

Bayin was killed instantly!

Brooke flew 50 yards away with a whoosh, turned around, and saw who was coming.

Tuoba Hongye! There is also Xiao Renlong next to him.

Tuoba Hongye stared at Brook intently. How could a defense-breaking Heaven Slash fail to instantly kill a rank 6 Taoist priest? This shouldn't be the case.

He lowered his head and looked at the fallen Bayin in confusion. He was clearly dead, so why didn't anything explode?

Suddenly, Bayin vanished with a whoosh, and reappeared beside Bruku.

Bayin stood up with full blood!

Brook gave Bayin the resurrection ring he got from 8L. In the past two months, Bayin has trained the ring to the first level, which allows him to feign death by falling to the ground.

Tuoba Hongye and Xiao Renlong looked at the resurrected Bayin in the distance and exchanged glances. Their eyes simultaneously flashed with excitement!

Resurrection Ring!!! It must be!!!
