The chivalrous spirit is fickle

"Mr. Shen Zhui, Elder Liu asked me to ask you where you were last night?"

Shen Zhui was confused and didn't know why the other party asked this question, but looking at the jade token, he answered honestly.

"I was in my room last night and didn't go out. Why did Elder Liu ask me this question?"

The woman in the green skirt's eyes flashed, and she moved closer to Shen Zhui, but spoke in an unquestionable tone.

"Mr. Shen, are you asking Elder Liu a question?"

Shen Zhui suddenly felt displeased, but considering the other party's identity, he couldn't get angry. He just frowned and spoke calmly.

"Of course I respect Elder Liu, but you have to understand, young lady, you are not Elder Liu. Be aware of your identity."

The woman in the green skirt smiled gently upon hearing this, lowered her head slightly, and spoke softly.

"Mr. Shen, you are joking. How can someone like me have such status? I just want to remind you, Mr. Shen, that even if you really become the leader of the alliance, you will still need the three supreme elders."

"Oh, right."

The woman in green skirt seemed to remember something and asked Shen with interest.

"Young Master seems determined to win this martial arts conference."

Shen Zhui's expression was cold, but his tone was extremely arrogant.

"The people who came to this martial arts conference are just a bunch of mediocre people. How can they be my opponents?"

The woman in the green skirt raised her eyebrows slightly, but did not deny the statement, but agreed.

"Mr. Shen Zhui is a genius, a fairy-like figure, so he is naturally not afraid of those mediocre people."

"but……"

The woman in green skirt suddenly changed the subject and spoke thoughtfully.

"However, Ye Xing, who wants to become the new Heavenly Tribulation Killer, doesn't seem to be someone who is easy to deal with."

Shen Zhui's face changed slightly. He had met Ye Xing once before, and he was indeed not an opponent that could be ignored. It could be said that the only person he cared about in this martial arts conference was Ye Xing.

Ye Xing's chilling murderous aura made Shen Zhui feel for the first time as if he was facing a formidable enemy.

"I also heard that Ye Xing is about to break through to the ninth level of the martial arts realm. Maybe he will be able to break through to the ninth level in the next few days."

Hearing this, Shen Zhui's face suddenly darkened. How could a man as proud as him accept that his peers had reached the ninth level earlier than him? He glanced coldly and said to the woman in the green skirt in a cold voice.

"That's enough. Stop making such unsubstantiated assumptions."

"I won't lose."

A hint of news flashed in the depths of the green-skirted woman's eyes, like a fisherman who sees a fish taken. She put her hand over her mouth, chuckled, then took out another jade slip, handed it to Shen Zhui, and whispered.

"Mr. Shen, this is a gift from Elder Liu."

Shen Zhui took the jade slip casually, and with the circulation of his true energy, he saw a set of exercises from the small jade slip. He didn't care at first, but after taking a quick look at it, his pupils shrank slightly.

With Shen Zhui's keen eyesight, he actually discovered that this set of skills was extremely mysterious, much stronger than the Yulin League's skills. If practiced successfully, severed limbs could be regenerated, and the opponent would be immortal.

But he had never heard of such a powerful martial art.

"This set of rejuvenation techniques was obtained by Elder Liu by chance. If Master Shen can comprehend it, it will not be difficult for him to break through to the ninth level."

The woman in the green dress smiled sweetly and spoke patiently. Someone in Tianshui Tower saw this scene and only saw a beautiful woman actively trying to please Shen Zhui, while Shen Zhui frowned and seemed unwilling to have anything to do with this woman.

The man saw this and was filled with admiration, muttering to himself.

"Yulin Shen Zhui is indeed as famous as his reputation. He is a gentleman as graceful as jade. Even a beauty like this can keep his heart calm."

"awesome."

After that, the man turned and left without looking in that direction again.

On the other side, Shen Zhui's face became a little ugly, but after hesitating for a long time, he still put the jade slip in his arms.

"Please thank Elder Liu for me. If I, Shen Zhui, ever break through to the ninth level of the martial arts realm, I will never forget the great favor I have shown you today."

The woman in the green dress smiled and returned the greeting, then she left as if she had accomplished her mission. Only Shen Zhui, with a complicated expression on his face, remained there.

The woman in green skirt walked out of Tianshui Tower and into the crowd, but she didn't know when a man wearing a black hat appeared about ten feet behind her.

The woman in the green skirt and the man were walking one in front and one behind. Without moving their lips, they were communicating in secret through telepathy.

"That person last night was definitely not Shen Zhui. He doesn't have the strength to alarm the Great Lord."

"Since you are so sure, do you have any other reasons?"

"Yes, I checked. He didn't leave Tianshui Tower last night. It's impossible that he went to the charity cemetery."

"Okay, I see. Did he accept the Rejuvenation Technique?"

"Of course I accepted it. How could anyone not want such a profound skill?"

"If it wasn't Shen Zhui, then who was that person last night? Could it be that Ye Xing?"

"It is very likely that the bodies left behind last night were extremely tragic, and they seemed to be the work of Ye Xing."

"Unfortunately, this person is quite famous. If we rashly kill him, it might cause big problems and attract the intervention of the five major sects."

"It doesn't matter. Let Shen Zhui do this. Just kill him at the Martial Arts Conference."

"Good idea. Don't take any action before the Martial Arts Convention. Just let those baits go out."

After the exchange, the woman in the green skirt walked straight forward, while the man in the bamboo hat turned to another corner and disappeared into the crowd.

A moment later, Shi Gu appeared at the corner of the street. Without any hesitation, he mixed in the crowd from a distance of several feet and followed the woman in the green dress.

Chapter 42: Martial Arts Conference (Part 3)

As dusk faded, a few stars appeared in the night sky and lights were lit, illuminating the streets.

The woman in the green dress lowered her head and walked very slowly in the crowd, like an ordinary person strolling around the street. Shi Gu followed behind her, but was gradually catching up with the woman in the green dress.

Everything is not a coincidence, but deliberate.

When Shi Gu booked the inn, he knew that Shen Zhui and other members of the Yulin League were living in Tianshui Tower not far away, so he told Jiang Shen Zhui's name.

In this way, if the zombies make any moves and want to investigate themselves, they will definitely start with Shen Zhui, and Shi Gu will be able to detect any abnormalities at a close distance.

Almost all clues about the zombies were cut off, so Shi Gu could only wait and see.

Zombies below the peak of the eighth rank cannot move during the day, but there is never a shortage of followers of such a great demon who have not been possessed by the demon.

Just like the woman in green skirt now.

In the crowd, the woman in green skirt looked back several times, very vigilantly. Her eyes swept over Shi Gu again and again, but she didn't notice anything.

Shi Gu blended into the crowd and concealed his aura. This was one of the things he was best at. Not to mention that he was surrounded by murderous aura. Even if the other party glanced at him, they would forget what they looked like after turning their heads.

Even if I saw him a thousand or ten thousand times, I would never remember his face.

One Qi can connect to all things. This is a magical power that ordinary people could never imagine, not to mention that the realm of the woman in green skirt is actually not very high.

Shi Gu followed the woman in green dress without any hesitation, getting closer and closer, until finally she was only one step away.

The reason for choosing this woman in green dress is very simple. She does not have the aura of rejuvenation, so the zombies that cannot descend into the world cannot do anything to her.

The man who met with her was most likely a warrior who had already stepped into the peak of the eighth rank and had the aura of practicing the Rejuvenation Technique. If Shi Gu caught that man, he would explode and die under the control of the zombie.

Shi Gu followed the woman in green skirt slowly and leisurely, circling a street, walking back and forth several times. She was cautious and serious enough, but unfortunately what she lacked was not caution, but luck.

If Zhu Tian Jie Sha wants to follow a person, that person will not be able to escape. Even if Zhu Tian Jie Sha's realm has fallen and is not as good as a ninth-grade warrior, he is still Zhu Tian Jie Sha, one of the two gods in the martial arts world.

Night fell completely, and lights were lit on both sides of the street. The red lanterns dyed the cheeks of the woman in the green dress red. After walking around the same street three times, she finally turned around and walked towards Zong Ming Mansion.

Seeing this, Shi Gu frowned slightly and quickly followed, but he was a little confused.

The great demons are definitely not allies. They have their own ideas and want to control the entire world in their hands.

But Zongming Mansion is clearly the territory of the demon clan and the gathering place of the remaining followers of the Demon Luo. Why would the followers of the zombies go to Zongming Mansion?

Shi Gu was puzzled, but he had no choice but to follow. Soon, the woman in green skirt arrived at the gate of Zong Ming Mansion.

The Zongming Mansion, which was once prosperous a year ago, is now deserted. Half of the huge mansion has collapsed, and even after more than a year of renovation, most of it is still in ruins.

The Zongming Mansion was so busy that there were only a few guards at the door, and the gate was left ajar.

The woman in the green skirt pushed the door open without hesitation and Shi Gu followed her without a second thought, as silent as a shadow.

There was total darkness in Zong Ming's mansion. Not even a lantern was lit. The entire mansion was shrouded in darkness and lifeless, like a mausoleum.

In the dark light, Shi Gu's figure flashed and disappeared completely into the darkness, leaving no one knowing where he went.

The woman in the green dress was unaware of anything. She flipped her hand and took out a night-shining pearl. The pearl lit up like a green ghost fire, faintly illuminating the way ahead.

However, deep in the mansion, there stood a group of people in black robes, who seemed to have been waiting for a long time.

The black robes covered the faces, hands and feet of those people, leaving only vague outlines. Only when the night wind blew, the faces that looked like evil spirits were looming under the black robes.

The woman in green skirt, holding a night-shining pearl in her hand, strode forward, bowed slightly to the group of black-robed men, and said with a smile.

"Tang Shuang'er, nice to meet you fellow Taoists."

Hearing this, a cold snort came from the black-robed men, who seemed quite dissatisfied, while the black-robed man who was leading the group spoke indifferently in a very old voice.

"No matter what I say or think, we are not of the same mind as you, young lady."

The woman in the green dress smiled and shook her head, then spoke slowly.

"Why not? Although you and I are different great lords, we are both people who are not tolerated by the world."

"Although we don't have much friendship, but if we consider our situations, can't we be considered as fellow travelers?"

The man in black robe did not refute. His green pupils emitted bursts of cold light in the darkness.

"This time, only one great lord can be resurrected. You and I each serve our own masters. If we fight for the chance to revive the great lord, we are definitely not fellow believers, but enemies."

Upon hearing this, the woman in the green skirt covered her mouth and chuckled, her body shaking with laughter, but there was a hint of mockery in her eyes.

"If Lord Moro could really be resurrected, how could you have allowed me to come here alive?"

"I think it's because Lord Mara never responded to you. You knew your Lord could not be resurrected, so you let me walk here."

"Otherwise, with your temper, you will eat me alive and clean me up the first time I step into Zongming Mansion."

The man in black robe remained silent, his green pupils were full of murderous intent, but he could not hide his helplessness and disappointment.

What the woman in green skirt said was right. More than a year ago, they sensed signs of the great demon reviving, so they tried to swap the demons day and night, but the demons did not respond to them.

Not even once, as if Moro was really dead.

The big devil will not die. This is something that all the high-ranking people in the martial arts world know. At least before the calamity from the heavens appears, no one thinks that the big devil can be killed completely.

"If I remember correctly, there are rumors that Zhu Tian Jie Sha is the reincarnation of Mo Luo, but when Mo Luo was fighting for the dominance of this life, he was counterattacked by Zhu Tian Jie Sha of this life."

"He is completely dead and there is no chance of resurrection."

In the darkness, Shi Gu listened to these words, frowned unconsciously, and thought in his heart.

The rumors in this world are more outrageous than the last.

He is not the reincarnation of Mara, otherwise Luofu would not have saved him, let alone accepted him as a disciple.

But the fact that Mara cannot be resurrected is indeed closely related to him.

At this time, the black-robed man in the field also said coldly.

"The Heavenly Tribulation Killer is dead, and we, the Great Lord, also have a chance to be resurrected, so how can we die and disappear?"

"It's just not this time. When Lord Moro is resurrected, your Lord will have no choice but to submit to you."

The woman in green skirt did not deny this statement. Mara was known as the greatest demon of all time, and he was indeed qualified to be called that.

"So, fellow practitioners should conserve their energy."

"It's okay if you miss this opportunity, but if you die, you won't be able to see Lord Moro when he resurrects."

"We can give you a promise. This time you will fully assist us. When Lord Moro is resurrected, the Lord we are waiting for will never stop us."

Hearing this, someone among the black-robed men sneered and mocked.

"It's ridiculous. If the zombie is not stupid, how dare he let Lord Mo Luo be resurrected? Does he want to be his vassal?"

The woman in the green skirt put away her smile, looked at the man in black robe who was speaking, and said indifferently.

"Extremely stupid."

"Who can become a great king without being a brilliant person? Our great king will never be afraid of the resurrection of Mara, and he will never want to miss the opportunity to compete for the title of the greatest demon in the history."
