Lingyuan Immortal

Chapter 512: Meng's Son-in-law
The sudden noise attracted everyone's attention. The smiling old Taoist priest on the archway lowered his eyes, feeling a little unhappy.

Now that their Xuanyuan League has become a top force, there are still people who dare to offend and cause trouble. They really don’t know how to live or die!

But when he saw Chen Mu's face, his angry expression suddenly froze, and then his face changed. After looking Chen Mu up and down for a few times, he quickly jumped to the side of the monk in the Lunjin and said a few words in a voice transmission.

The monk in the turban also had a glint in his eyes. He then took a step back and shouted, "I was wondering where this wild Taoist priest came from. He's so unruly and unruly. Turns out he's the traitor on our alliance's list. Come, capture him!"

He waved his sleeves, and immediately more than twenty disciples surrounded him, including some who had just joined as independent cultivators.

They didn't expect that they would have such a good opportunity to make a contribution less than a moment after joining the Alliance.

"Thief, surrender immediately!"

Over twenty people shouted loudly, and then rushed forward in a huge crowd, each using their own methods. Their methods were varied and chaotic, with no coordination at all. They were indeed an alliance of loose cultivators...

In addition to Chen Mu, an outsider, there were many independent cultivators who had no intention of joining the Xuanyuan Alliance. They dared to travel alone in the sea. They were all a group of brave people. Now that they saw that something was happening, they were not afraid and their faces showed an expression of watching a good show.

Chen Mu sneered and waved his sleeves. A beam of water light flew out and instantly absorbed the twenty or so disciples.

The old man and the monk in the robe were shocked when they saw this. They had never expected that the Taoist in front of them was so ferocious.

After looking at each other, the two men suddenly stood up and fled in different directions. Their speed was so fast that it really exceeded the expectations of the onlookers.

Chen Mu's expression remained motionless, and the water light surged across the sky.

When the onlookers looked over, they were all horrified to see that the place in front of them was empty. Not only had the old man, the monk in the robe, and his disciples disappeared, but even the golden archway was empty and had disappeared without a trace.

……

In the distant sky, a streak of light flashed across.

Chen Mu frowned slightly, pondering the title of "rebel on the list" that the Taoist had just mentioned.

After a while, he found a deserted island and landed there, picked up the old Taoist priest, and cast a spell to restore his consciousness.

The old Taoist priest had already realized that the person in front of him was at a very high level and was far beyond their ability to resist, so he looked grim and didn't even dare to breathe.

This actually saved a lot of trouble. Chen Mu found out the details without much effort. It turned out that he was the person that the various branches of the Xuanyuan League wanted to arrest.

He frowned slightly, thinking carefully about the people he met on this trip, and finally placed his suspicion on Qingchen Guan.

"Qingchen Temple..."

He shook his head and sneered, his eyes shifting as he pondered for a moment. Then, he suddenly looked at the old Taoist priest and asked, "When did your Xuanyuan Alliance... invade the islands under the Meng clan's command?"

When these words came out, the old Taoist priest was stunned at first, then his whole body shuddered and blurted out: "You are the remnant of the Meng family!"

Chen Mu's eyes turned cold, and the old Taoist priest immediately realized that he had spoken out of turn. Thinking of his own situation, he couldn't help but feel scared, and said with a forced smile:

"Senior, that was just a misunderstanding. I, the old Taoist, joined the Xuanyuan Alliance not long ago and did not participate in the 'Attack Meng' campaign.

If you let me go, I will pretend that I didn’t see you today. Even if there is a message from the sect asking for me to return, I can find a way to get rid of it for you, senior..."

Chen Mu remained unmoved and said coldly, "Don't want to say it?"

The old Taoist priest's heart trembled when he met Chen Mu's cold eyes. He nodded quickly and said, "I'm willing to tell you!" He reached out and wiped the sweat from his forehead. "The battle between the Xuanyuan League and the Meng family was ten years ago. It lasted for seven years before the Meng family was defeated. Since then, the Xuanyuan League has benefited from the Meng family's influence and has become the top force here."

Chen Mu frowned slightly. According to Patriarch Shuiyun, the Meng family was very powerful and was the number one force in the Nixia Sea. But now it seems that even a clan with thousands of years of history cannot escape the changes of time.

The former overlord has now been overthrown by a group of "rabble"...

He sighed inwardly and asked again, "After the Meng family was defeated, did any of their clansmen survive and escape?"

The old Taoist rolled his eyes and shook his head, "No."

"No?" Chen Mu changed his mind and couldn't help but sneer: "If not, where did this remnant of the Meng family come from?"

Upon hearing this, the old Taoist priest said with a bitter face, "Senior, this... I hadn't even joined the Xuanyuan League at that time. I was just a casual foundation-building cultivator. How could I have participated in it? I really don't know the details!"

Chen Mu frowned and remained silent, lost in thought.

The old Taoist priest also took this opportunity to recall everything, fearing that Chen Mu would kill him.

After a moment, his eyes suddenly lit up, and he slapped his thigh and said, "Yes, there are survivors. I remembered one!"

Chen Mu's heart moved and he lowered his eyes to look over.

The old Taoist priest didn't dare to delay and quickly said, "There's a girl from the Meng family who was abducted by the Thousand-Eyed Elder of the Alliance and used as a furnace. However, it's been three years since this happened. I wonder if she's still alive..."

"Who is Elder Qianmu?"

The old Taoist priest hesitated to speak after hearing this, and replied hesitantly, "Elder Qianmu... Elder Qianmu was the son-in-law of the Meng family. Later, he saw the situation clearly and surrendered to the Xuanyuan Alliance..."

Chen Mu was stunned for a moment, then sneered. It was so ironic that Meng's son-in-law surrendered to the enemy who wanted to destroy his family. It was probably because of him that Meng's defeat was also related to him.

However, he was unwilling to meddle in other people's affairs. The decline of the Meng family was definitely not a one-time mistake, and he had no idea of ​​the reasons behind it, so it was better for him not to get involved.

After all, the promise he made back then was only to return the "Great Five Elements Zhoutian Mystical Art" to the Meng family. If there were any Meng family members still alive, he would at most rescue them and escape from this place, and protect a few of them...

Thinking of this, he made up his mind and asked, "Where is Elder Qianmu now?"

The old Taoist priest's heart moved when he heard this. He realized that Chen Mu was not a remnant of the Meng family. Otherwise, how could he know nothing? From what he asked, he must be going to rescue the Meng family daughter...

His eyes flickered slightly, and he deliberately replied, "Senior, Elder Qianmu is a Jindan Zhenren, with great combat power. He is currently on the Xuanyuan Giant Island, a million miles east of here."

In fact, what he said was true, but he deliberately concealed the specific realm of Elder Qianmu. Elder Qianmu was not only a Jindan Zhenren, but also a cultivator in the realm of Jindan perfection. He was only one step away from forming an infant and breaking the mirror. His strength was extremely powerful!

Moreover, the giant Xuanyuan Island is the headquarters of the Xuanyuan Alliance, with many high-level cultivators, even some Yuanying masters.

If Chen Mu carelessly went straight to rescue him, he would definitely attract the attention of the Nascent Soul cultivator. By then, no matter how powerful he was, he would probably have no room to display his strength...

The old Taoist smiled obscurely and bowed, saying, "Senior, I have told you the truth. Could you please forgive me this time? I will keep my mouth shut..."

Chen Mu's expression remained unchanged. With a wave of his hand, he swept the old Taoist priest, who had not yet finished speaking, back into the water.
