From Martial Arts Dungeon to Master of Martial Arts
Chapter 81 Temporary Shelter
Mu Sheng blocked the doorway, preventing any of the tree-men that rushed up from getting close.
It wasn't until she caught a glimpse of the open door that Mingliu pushed the cart inside, and Musheng quickly retreated, slamming the door shut behind her.
With a muffled thud, he turned to look inside the house. Ten former disciples of the True Yuan Temple, along with many disciples from the outer courtyard, all with their families, looked at the two tree-men on the cart with suspicion and uncertainty.
"Why did you bring this in?!" someone asked in surprise and doubt.
"Throw them out!" someone immediately suggested.
"Let's see who dares!!" Mu Sheng swung the knife in his hand forcefully, smashing it directly on the ground. With a "bang!" the weight of the broadsword alone shattered the floor tiles.
His eyes widened in anger, all his previous composure vanished, and a surge of power erupted, silencing everyone.
After a long silence, Miao Yin said coldly, "Why did you come back? Aren't you going to become an inner disciple?"
Zhao Fangxu then spoke up, saying, "Junior brother is a man of deep affection and loyalty; you've probably come here for your family."
Mu Sheng nodded slightly to Zhao Fangxu and said to everyone, "I came back today for my brother and sister-in-law. I won't take up too much of your time. I will take my brother and sister-in-law and leave this city directly. I came here just to rest and find someone to leave the city with me. I can protect their safety."
He had to push the cart with one hand and fight off the tree-men with the other; it was too difficult.
So we had to find some people to help.
"Will they be able to return to normal once they leave the city?" someone asked.
"I don't know," Mu Sheng shook her head and said, "but it's our only hope."
He has no idea what's going on, but getting away from the red light is his only hope.
The crowd looked at each other, unsure of the specifics. Now, with the red light enveloping the entire city, perhaps this truly was their only hope.
"Then can't you help us bring our families out of the red light?" someone hurriedly said.
"I'm sorry, I can only take a portion of the people. I don't have that capability." Mu Sheng had no intention of saving everyone; all he wanted was to get his brother and sister-in-law out of the village.
"You probably can't get out of here on your own now," Shang De said calmly. "It would be better if we all went together, so we could support each other."
"Too many people, too big a target." Mu Sheng rejected the idea without hesitation, instead suggesting, "If all of you together, you can break through."
Everyone fell silent.
Mu Sheng walked to the cart and sat down to rest. He needed to recover all his strength before rushing out of the city.
He glanced at Zhao Fangxu, knowing that if Zhao Fangxu asked, he would definitely take him away, as it would repay the Zhao family's favor.
However, Zhao Fangxu frowned but did not speak, clearly indicating that he had other concerns. Under such circumstances, his family members had probably all turned into demons.
These people from the inner city would surely want to emulate Mu Sheng's current actions, binding their families and taking them out of the city.
Some people kept glancing at Mu Sheng, clearly not wanting to give up on his strength.
Mu Sheng turned her gaze back to Ming Liu, who looked completely bewildered. Although the other man was old enough to be in charge, he still hadn't encountered many problems.
He took the initiative to ask, "Senior Brother Mingliu, did you bring your family here?"
In a daze, Mingliu seemed to have found his anchor and said, "I brought them all."
Both he and Mu Sheng came from the outer city, while their parents were not affected by the inner city. With Da Jin's strength, it wasn't too difficult for him to bring his parents here.
"Come out with me."
"Will I go with you?" Mingliu looked at Musheng.
"Coward." Miao Yin snorted coldly, showing considerable disdain for him.
This time, Mu Sheng did not choose to swallow her anger and said, "You people just want to find your own family members to take out, but the inner city is extremely dangerous now, and there are no family members of mine there. Why should I risk my life for you?"
Even if Zhao Fangxu pressured him with the issue of funding, he wouldn't waver in the slightest.
He could help if he could, but in the current situation, to step forward would not be repaying a debt of gratitude, it would be foolish.
Shang De spoke up at this moment, saying, "Junior Brother has become an inner disciple, and his strength is so great, so naturally he should also shoulder some responsibility."
"What responsibility?" Lu Qing looked at him and asked, "For those of you who are no longer considered part of the True Essence Sect?"
"You!!" Shang De glared at Lu Qing.
The crowd glared at him angrily.
"I have no interest in beating around the bush with you right now," Mu Sheng said directly to Zhao Fangxu. "Senior brother, if you want to leave the city with me, I will definitely ensure your safety. But if you want me to venture into the inner city, that's absolutely impossible."
Zhao Fangxu gave a wry smile and said, "That won't be necessary. Junior brother has his own difficulties, so I won't trouble you."
He also knew that under these circumstances, Mu Sheng was already grateful for what he had given her.
But he couldn't just abandon his family.
"Everyone," Mu Sheng said, cupping his fists to the crowd, "Things may change, but they will. Since we are not strong enough now, it is best to protect ourselves. I will not advise you too much, but I hope you will all take care of yourselves."
He winked at Mingliu and said, "Let's go!"
He simply pushed the car, ignoring the two people struggling inside.
At this moment, Mingliu was completely lost and could only follow Musheng toward the residential areas.
They soon arrived at Mu Sheng's room. Mu Sheng parked the cart at the door and pushed open the door to enter her small room.
He plunged his broadsword into the ground, stepped forward, opened the mahogany chest, took out the silver armor, and put it on piece by piece.
He turned to Mingliu and said, "Senior Brother Mingliu, what are you standing there for? Go and bring your family over."
Mingliu suddenly realized what was happening and hurriedly ran out.
After Mu Sheng finished putting on his armor, he gripped the broadsword and shouted in a low voice.
"Yang Xing!!"
Yang Xing's figure seemed to have vanished completely, never appearing again.
"I'm going to use up your last bit of power," he said in a deep voice.
Yang Xing still hadn't appeared.
Judging from the current situation, Yang Xing's remaining forces are definitely not all gone; there are likely still some left.
Another possibility is that the other party is so weak that they can no longer appear in front of him.
He sighed; it seemed that his attempt to get any information from Yang Xing was now futile.
He could only rush out of the city for the time being.
He pulled the broadsword from the ground, and with a casual flick of his wrist, the blade made a sharp "whoosh" sound.
Only then did he slowly walk out of the door.
At this moment, Mingliu walked over from a distance with his family and saw Musheng coming out of the door.
Under the crimson halo, the silver-white armor seemed to be shrouded in a layer of blood.
Like a demon.
