Lingyuan Immortal

Chapter 446 Return to the Mountain (I)

After an unknown amount of time, the surging waves gradually subsided and the dazzling golden light quietly dissipated.

Above the vast sea, only Hua Meimei, dressed in a red robe, stood with her hands behind her back, looking like a master, while Jin Yuantong had turned into a dry bone, and his evil spirit had long since escaped into the void.

"You're really stubborn. In the end, I couldn't get anything interesting out of you..."

Hua Meimei muttered, stretched out her hand to call over the dry bones and limbs, took a look at them, and then threw them away in disgust.

"No wonder this little centipede was able to create a clone across such a distance. It turns out he borrowed the body of his original body. So, he must have put in quite a bit of effort."

Thinking of this, he raised his eyebrows slightly and smiled. As long as he could make Jin Yuantong unhappy, his efforts would not be in vain.

"Dang dang dang..."

When turning around to leave, Hua Meimei, who was in a very good mood, suddenly started humming a song, but due to her hoarse voice, the sound was really unbearable to the ears.

After taking a few steps, he suddenly stopped again. After thinking for a moment, his demonic power suddenly surged, and a five-colored mist rose.

A gentle breeze blew, and after the fog drifted away with the wind, Hua Meimei suddenly changed her appearance. The original five-colored spots disappeared, replaced by sword-like eyebrows and star-like eyes, with clear edges and corners, and she was handsome and extraordinary.

If Chen Mu had not walked far at this time, he would be able to see this face at a glance, and it would be exactly the same as his.

Taking off the bright red groom's robe, the vivid Chen Mu reappeared...

"Not bad, not bad. He looks quite similar to Master Hua..."

Hua Meimei waved her hand and summoned a water mirror. She looked around and exclaimed in admiration, seeming very satisfied with her appearance.

"After changing into this form, the human lady should stop crying, right?"

He clasped his hands together and touched his chin, then gave a look that he thought was handsome. His confidence instantly increased, and he waved his hand to disperse the magic. He immediately turned and walked away, disappearing in the blink of an eye.

……

Deep in the East China Sea, the scarlet spirit boat sank to the bottom of the sea and fled towards the water palace of the Seventh Princess of the Dragon Palace.

Ao Chun sat lazily on the soft couch, with an inexplicable look in his eyes, and from time to time he picked up the glass cup and took a few sips of the spirit wine.

What was strange was that Jin Yuantong was also sitting nearby, but his expression was distracted from time to time, and he was obviously absent-minded, and no one knew what he was thinking about.

Ao Chun's mind was also not here, but he still noticed Jin Yuantong's abnormality.

She parted her red lips slightly, a smile on her lips that was neither a smile nor a smile. This made Jin Yuantong break out in a cold sweat. He quickly said with a smile, "Chun'er, why are you looking at me like that?"

Ao Chun's expression remained unchanged, and he looked unwilling to speak.

Jin Yuantong's eyes flickered upon seeing this, and he changed the subject, saying, "After we return home to rest for a while, Chun'er, would you be willing to go with me back to Jinbei Mountain for a tour..."

Ao Chun finally responded, but he just shook his head in refusal.

Jin Yuantong's expression froze, and he cursed inwardly. In the past, when he returned to Jinbei Mountain, Ao Chun had never fallen behind...

For a moment, the scene became quiet again, with only the sound of flowing water in the deep sea echoing in the ears.

After a while, a very dim and obscure golden light passed through the layers of sea and instantly penetrated into Jin Yuantong's sea of ​​consciousness.

He was shocked, knowing that this was the separated demon soul returning...

Ao Chun seemed to notice something and opened his eyes slightly.

But Jin Yuantong's face suddenly darkened, and he was filled with extreme anger.

"Hua Meimei..."

"Looking at your reaction, I know you failed to kill Chen Mu." Ao Chun sneered, as if mocking Jin Yuantong's incompetence.

Jin Yuantong's expression changed, and he said, "Did you know I was going to kill him?"

Ao Chun lowered his eyes and took a sip of wine: "With your little tricks, you think you can hide it from me..." "Then why didn't you stop it?"

"Why would I try to stop him? Just because I'm attracted to him?" Ao Chun said calmly, "You really don't understand me at all..."

Jin Yuantong suddenly fell silent. After a long moment, he muffled his words and said, "It was Hua Meimei who suddenly intervened and stopped me. Otherwise, I would have definitely succeeded!"

"Hua Meimei?" Ao Chun frowned slightly: "How did he happen to run into you..."

Jin Yuantong was stunned when he heard this. Yes, the East China Sea is so big, why did he appear there?
"Could it be that he has other plans?"

The more he thought about it, the more he felt that this matter was strange. Logically speaking, after Hua Meimei was kicked out of the banquet by Prime Minister Gui, given her personality, she would definitely wait outside and harass the princess. How could she leave so easily?

"Chun'er, please go back home first. I need to go back to Jinbei Mountain."

Ao Chun remained silent, and after a moment he suddenly changed the direction of the spirit boat.

"I'll go with you..."

The scarlet spirit boat broke through the sea surface, soared into the sky, and headed towards the Jinbei Mountain in southern Xinjiang at a high speed.

At this time, Hua Meimei, who was traveling in the human world in the appearance of Chen Mu, had no idea that her actions had been associated with a conspiracy by Jin Yuantong.

If he knew what the two of them were thinking, he would definitely cry out that they were wronged...

……

In the nameless sea, on a small human island.

This island is called Black Stone Island. There are not many cultivators coming and going. The highest level cultivator is just an old man in the early stage of foundation building. The resources are so scarce that even sea beasts are unwilling to waste their energy to attack, so it can be said to be calm.

After Chen Mu escaped, he chose this place to recuperate.

It's not that he didn't want to escape back to Beiyuan in one breath, but his precious body was damaged, and the inexplicable blood light could not be driven away. If he forced himself to fly back to the mountain, it would cause irreparable consequences.

This was also something he could not accept.

In a quiet room.

Chen Mu closed his eyes tightly, and blood was scattered all over his body. He looked so weak, but despite all his hard work, he still couldn't get rid of it completely.

"The killing intent hasn't been resolved yet, and now this inexplicable bloody incident has appeared. I'm really unlucky..."

He took a deep breath, raised his eyes, shook his head and smiled bitterly.

My knowledge is still insufficient, and I failed to recognize the origin of the blood. Otherwise, I would have been able to find the right remedy. Why would I have wasted so much time without success?

Fortunately, his research and thinking were not in vain. At least he temporarily stabilized the blood erosion, and the recovered magic power was enough to support him to escape back to the mountain gate.

He waved his hand back, and a broken token quietly appeared in front of him. There were vague fish and dragon patterns on it, which was quite spiritual.

It was the gilded fish-dragon medal that saved his life!
"Magic weapon...what a pity."

Chen Mu felt quite distressed. This was not a loss of just a few hundred thousand spirit stones, but hundreds of thousands of spirit stones that disappeared in the blink of an eye.

If we add in the loss of his spiritual weapon and flying sword, the amount would be even more shocking. Although it would not bankrupt him, it was still a heavy loss.

"There's always gain and loss... even if you spend all your money, you'll get it back. As for resources, as long as they're enough..."

At this point, he could only comfort himself that what he had gained from this trip was so precious that it could not be exchanged for spirit stones.

Thinking of this, he took back the broken magic weapon, and with a thought, there was no trace of him left here.

People were coming and going on Black Stone Island, the sounds of hawking and arguing were endless, completely unaware that a Jindan Zhenren had just stood up and fled...
