Chapter 360 Follow Me Closely
Han Xiaoqiu was about to step forward.
Mo Chengyue grabbed his shoulder.
Don't go over there.
Han Xiaoqiu said urgently, "But he's still alive!"
Mo Chengyue stared into Li Mu's eyes.
"Being alive doesn't mean he's still him."
Li Mu raised his head.
His eyes were completely gray.
But a strange smile appeared on his lips.
"Manager Xu..."
Xu Shan's face turned ashen.
"Li Mu, where is Zhou Yao?"
Li Mu tilted his head.
"Zhou Yao..."
"It's inside."
Zhao Li gripped the array plate tightly.
"What's wrong with him?"
Li Mu's laughter suddenly turned shrill.
"Disobedient."
"It was eaten up by the mine."
As soon as he finished speaking, he suddenly opened his mouth.
A cloud of grayish-white mist spewed from his throat.
The cold mist, mixed with fine, bone-like crystals, rushed straight at everyone's faces.
Leng Yuexin swept her sleeves.
The Ice Soul True Essence transformed into a frost curtain, blocking out all the cold mist.
But when those crystals hit the frost curtain, they made a hissing sound.
It felt like something was gnawing at my true essence.
Leng Yue's eyes held a slightly cold glint.
"Soul-Devouring Corpse Frost"
Xu Shan's expression changed drastically.
"The evil magic of Xuan Shuang Valley?"
Li Mu arched his body and pounced like a wild beast.
The speed was so fast that it didn't seem like someone who was injured.
A grayish-white aura swirled around the short sword as it slashed towards Leng Yuexin.
Leng Yuexin pointed to a single point.
A cold glint fell.
Li Mu was frozen in mid-air.
But the next moment, his chest suddenly swelled up.
Mo Chengyue's eyelids twitched.
"retreat!"
He had barely finished speaking.
Li Mu's chest exploded.
Countless gray-white ice spikes shot out in all directions.
Xu Shan protected Han Xiaoqiu as they retreated.
Zhao Li threw out the array plate, and the array light transformed into a shield.
Mo Chengyue then unleashed the Lesser Sumeru Vajra Formation.
Golden array patterns unfolded in front of him.
The ice spikes struck the array patterns with a tinkling sound.
Several of them actually managed to penetrate half an inch into the array of light.
Mo Chengyue's expression changed slightly.
"This thing can even break formations?"
Zhao Li asked urgently, "Senior Brother Mo, were you able to hold on during that time?"
Mo Chengyue said, "We can hold on."
Han Xiaoqiu just breathed a sigh of relief.
Mo Chengyue added another sentence.
"But it's best not to let it keep trying."
Leng Yuexin clenched her five fingers.
All the ice spikes suddenly stopped.
The next moment, they all shattered into powder.
Li Mu's mangled body fell to the ground.
A grayish-white aura emerged from his body, like a thin snake trying to escape into the depths of the mine.
Leng Yuexin raised her hand as if to extinguish it.
Mo Chengyue suddenly said, "Elder, please stay a moment!"
The cold light at Leng Yuexin's fingertips stopped.
Mo Chengyue strode forward and took out a blank sealing talisman.
The Yin and Yang essence rotated on the talisman, forming two thin layers of black and white light.
He carefully concealed the wisp of grayish-white aura.
The grayish-white aura struggled violently.
Fine frost immediately formed on the surface of the talisman.
Han Xiaoqiu watched with bated breath.
"Senior Brother Mo, will this thing bite you?"
Mo Chengyue replied, "Yes."
Han Xiaoqiu became even more nervous.
"Then why are you still arresting them?"
Mo Chengyue said, "Because it doesn't bite others, no one knows how strong its teeth are."
Zhao Li remained silent for a moment.
"Senior Brother Mo, what you're saying sounds like you're willingly suffering."
Mo Chengyue said, "It's an illusion."
"I was forced to be dedicated to my work."
The talisman paper was finally closed.
The grayish-white aura was sealed within, transforming into a twisted frost pattern.
Mo Chengyue glanced at it.
My unease grew stronger.
This is not a remnant of ordinary evil magic.
There is a very subtle mark of divine soul inside.
It shares the same origin as the aura of Qin Suying's illusory figure from earlier.
But it is colder and more delicate.
It doesn't seem to be for the purpose of explosion.
Rather, it was to leave some kind of landmark.
Leng Yuexin walked to his side.
"how?"
Mo Chengyue said in a low voice, "This thing looks like it's marking out mineral veins."
Xu Shan's face turned pale upon hearing this.
"Why mark the mineral veins?"
Mo Chengyue looked up into the depths of the three main northern veins.
"Either for long-distance towing."
"Or so that we can come back again later."
Han Xiaoqiu's voice trembled.
"Do they want to come again?"
Mo Chengyue said, "Xuan Shuang Valley has even extended its reach here."
"It can't just be to invite us to watch fireworks."
Xu Shan gritted his teeth and turned to look at Liu Zhengping.
"explain!"
What else is inside Beisan?
Liu Zhengping's face also turned somewhat pale.
Clearly, Li Mu's current state was not something he had anticipated.
"I have no idea."
Xu Shan was furious.
"have no idea?"
Liu Zhengping murmured, "They only let me open abandoned wells."
"I'm not in charge of the North Third District."
Mo Chengyue glanced at him.
"So you're not the mastermind."
Liu Zhengping immediately looked up.
Mo Chengyue continued, "You're just the first scapegoat chosen."
Liu Zhengping's lips trembled.
"impossible……"
Mo Chengyue raised the sealing talisman in his hand.
"The corpse frost on Li Mu's body was deeper than the icy aura on your body."
"This means that you're not the only one buried in the mining area by Xuanshuang Valley."
"You thought you had a way out."
"Actually, you're not even a chess piece."
"At most, they're just pebbles used to test the elders' temper at the start."
Liu Zhengping's face turned deathly pale.
These words were even harsher than Xu Shan's sword strike.
Han Xiaoqiu whispered, "Senior Brother Mo is getting more and more skilled at stabbing people in the heart."
Zhao Li said, "Don't learn that."
Han Xiaoqiu nodded.
"I can't learn it."
Leng Yuexin looked towards the mine.
"Go in."
Xu Shan immediately said, "Your subordinate will clear the way."
Leng Yuexin said calmly, "You take your men and guard the outside."
Xu Shan was taken aback.
"Elder?"
Leng Yue thought to herself, "There's Soul-Devouring Corpse Frost inside; you'll only cause trouble if you go in."
Xu Shan looked embarrassed, but he couldn't refute it.
Zhao Li quickly said, "Elder, I understand formations and can assist Senior Brother Mo."
Leng Yuexin looked at Mo Chengyue.
Mo Chengyue paused for a moment.
Zhao Li asked nervously, "Senior Brother Mo?"
Mo Chengyue said, "Junior Brother Zhao, please stay."
Zhao Li was taken aback.
Mo Chengyue said seriously, "We need to use an array outside to stabilize the entrance."
"If something happens to us inside, at least you can seal the cave entrance."
Han Xiaoqiu said urgently, "Senior Brother Mo, what you said is unlucky."
Mo Chengyue said, "I usually only speak practically."
Xu Shan said in a deep voice, "Don't worry, Senior Brother Mo, leave the outside to me."
Mo Chengyue nodded.
"If the blood alarm changes color again, do not hesitate, immediately retreat to the second array gate."
Xu Shan asked, "And you?"
Mo Chengyue glanced at Leng Yuexin.
"We have elders."
Leng Yuexin said calmly, "That's not untrue."
Mo Chengyue thought to himself.
Whether it's true or not is another matter.
The key is to keep the boss in a good mood at this time.
Leng Yuexin stepped into the cave.
Mo Chengyue followed behind her.
It's colder inside the mine than outside.
But this cold is not just a simple chill.
Instead, it carried a gloomy and decaying smell, like old blood hidden in an ice cellar that had been sealed for many years.
There was a fine layer of ash on the stone wall.
Every patch of frost was slowly creeping.
Mo Chengyue felt a chill run down his spine.
"Elder."
Leng Yue thought to herself, "Speak."
Mo Chengyue asked, "Is it too late for me to apply to return to the Scripture Pavilion?"
Leng Yue thought to herself, "It's too late."
Mo Chengyue sighed.
"I knew it."
Leng Yue thought to herself, "Afraid?"
Mo Chengyue said, "I'm afraid."
Leng Yuexin glanced at him sideways.
Mo Chengyue added, "But fear aside, the work still has to be done."
The chill in Leng Yue's heart eased slightly.
"Stay close to me."
Mo Chengyue nodded.
"You don't need to remind me of that."
Further in, drag marks and bloodstains appeared on the ground.
The bloodstains stretched all the way into the depths of the mine.
At the far end, the faint sound of chewing could be heard.
Mo Chengyue paused in his steps.
Leng Yuexin also stopped.
From the depths of darkness, someone let out a muffled laugh.
"Junior Sister Leng".
"You've finally arrived."
Mo Chengyue's heart sank.
That voice doesn't belong to Qin Suyi.
Yet equally unfamiliar.
Leng Yue's eyes suddenly turned cold.
"come out."
In the darkness, a faint blue light slowly illuminated.
A woman in white stood under the lamp.
She was beautiful, with a frost-leaf mark between her brows, and carried a bone lamp in her hand.
At her feet lay a corpse, frozen into half an ice sculpture.
The corpse was still wearing the clothes of the disciples stationed at the Hehuan Sect.
Zhou Yao, as mentioned by Xu Shan.
The woman in white looked down at the corpse and said softly, "What a pity."
"This person's spirit is unstable; he hasn't cultivated properly."
Mo Chengyue silently took half a step back.
Leng Yuexin's voice was so cold it seemed capable of cutting through a stone wall.
"Do the people of Xuanshuang Valley all like to talk behind corpses?"
The woman in white looked up and smiled.
"My name is Qin Shuanglian."
"Qin Suying is my master."
Mo Chengyue had only one thought in his mind.
well.
The old account books not only contain the names of the person in question.
There are also disciples.
This mining mission has officially been upgraded from a repair project to a renewed package of sect feuds.
