His gaze slowly swept over the Heavenly Flames cage that bound him. At this moment, Hei Mu's expression was extremely solemn, and his heart was filled with fear. He never expected that the old guy inside Xiao Yan's body would be so powerful.
You should know that, judging from the aura he sensed earlier, the old man in front of him was actually stronger than he was at his peak!
The old man before me possesses strength that is at least at the Origin Ancestor Great Realm...
Just thinking about it made Hei Mu feel powerless. Yuan Zong expert was not someone he could handle in his current state.
But Hei Mu was not one to give up easily. Although he was not as strong as his opponent, he was once a powerful expert at the Origin Ancestor Great Realm!
Moreover, Hei Mu had been preparing for a thousand years to finally break free from the shackles of the Ginseng Spirit Clan. Now, because of Xiao Yan, he had ended up in such a state. How could he possibly swallow this insult?
"Hmph! Even if you trap me, what can you do to me? At worst, I'll just perish together with the owner of this body!"
At this moment, Hei Mu was truly shocked. Although he was unwilling, he was ultimately powerless to do anything about it.
The opponent Gu You, is far stronger than him. Since he cannot defeat him by force, he can only use Qing Mu as his last line of defense to threaten him. With Qing Mu in hand, Gu You will not make a move easily!
Unfortunately, although Hei Mu was somewhat confident, there was one thing he hadn't considered...
That is, Gu You didn't care about Qing Mu's life or death; the only thing Gu You cared about was Xiao Yan.
Therefore, after hearing the threatening words from Hei Mu, Gu You couldn't help but scoff, raising an eyebrow and looking at Hei Mu.
When Gu You noticed the look on Hei Mu's face that seemed to indicate he was prepared to die with him, he finally couldn't help but chuckle. Then, with an indifferent expression, he stared at Hei Mu and said with a smile:
"What, you want to threaten me with Qing Mu's life?"
Hearing the strange implication in Gu You's words, Hei Mu slowly wiped the smile from his face, frowned, narrowed his eyes as he looked at Gu You, and slowly said:
"What, do you really intend to kill me and Qing Mu together?"
What do you think?
No sooner had Hei Mu finished speaking than Gu You's voice followed.
Hearing the indifference in Gu You's words, Hei Mu's pupils suddenly contracted, and his heart, which had just relaxed slightly, was now on edge again.
Could it be that this old ghost really intends to kill him and Qing Mu together?!
Upon thinking of this, Hei Mu shuddered violently, beads of cold sweat appeared on his forehead, his heart pounded even harder, and his breathing became rapid.
After a long while, Hei Mu seemed to suddenly remember something and hurriedly looked up at Gu You, only to meet Gu You's pair of eerie white eyes.
The instant their eyes met, an invisible, terrifyingly cold force seemed to shoot towards Hei Mu Hei Mu, causing him to quickly look away.
The instant Hei Mu looked away, a chilling aura suddenly emanated from the void in front of him. When Hei Mu looked closely, the void just inches in front of him was already frozen solid.
With a slight twitch at the corner of his mouth, a surge of anger welled up in Hei Mu's heart. As his Dou Qi surged, Hei Mu swung his hand violently, and a streak of Dou Qi shot out, shattering the ice in front of him with a single blow.
Immediately, Hei Mu turned his gaze back to Gu You, snorted coldly, and said:
"Hmph! You are indeed a ruthless person. If you really have no scruples, I'm afraid I really won't be able to escape death. However, I think your relationship with this Yan Xiao must be quite special. If I'm not mistaken, this kid is your disciple!"
Upon hearing this, Gu You raised an eyebrow, a look of surprise flashing in his eyes, but a cold smile still lingered on his lips. The Hei Mu in front of him really thought a lot, but then again, he did think of something.
If it were anyone else, Gu You might have already finished them off. But the key is that Qing Mu has some connection with Elder Luo in the outside world, and this connection is also beneficial to Xiao Yan. Otherwise, he wouldn't bother with Qing Mu Hei Mu.
As for his disciple, Gu You didn't have the mind to think about it. He knew a lot about Xiao Yan, and Xiao Yan had also told him about Yao Lao's existence. Therefore, even Gu You admitted that he was really not suitable to be Xiao Yan's teacher.
"Hey, you're not stupid after all, you even know to use him to keep me in check, but I'm not his teacher..."
Upon hearing Gu You's words, Hei Mu raised an eyebrow, surprised that Xiao Yan's teacher was someone else entirely...
At the same time, Hei Mu breathed a sigh of relief, his Adam's apple bobbing as a smile returned to his lips. But just as he was about to speak, Gu You interrupted him, saying:
"However, what does this have to do with me? This kid knows him, but I don't. This Qing Mu is nothing more than a Origin King; I wouldn't even give him a second glance!"
Before he could finish speaking, Hei Mu's expression changed again, his heart filled with such rage that he wanted nothing more than to slap Gu You to death.
Just then, a soft cough drew the attention of both Gu You and Hei Mu.
"Cough cough..."
In the void, Xiao Yan, whose face was still deathly pale, slowly opened his eyes. Although Gu You had given Xiao Yan a pill, the excessive consumption of his Dou Qi earlier still left him extremely weak.
Fortunately, at least Xiao Yan is now able to participate in some activities.
Slightly struggling to his feet, Xiao Yan nodded with a hint of gratitude upon seeing Gu You beside him. Gu You smiled in return, then turned his gaze back to Hei Mu and said with a smile:
"Hey, if it weren't for me today, you'd really be dead!"
Xiao Yan smiled. He knew perfectly well that if Gu You hadn't been there, he would probably still be bound in that rattan ball, waiting for death.
But he also knew that Gu You would definitely help him, which is why he dared to fight this old ghost from ten thousand years ago.
"Hmph! Yan Xiao, I never expected that such an old monster would reside within your body. I truly underestimated you. However, I'd like to see if your protective talisman can truly kill me and the original owner of this body!"
Hei Mu stared intently at Xiao Yan, not daring to relax for a moment. He had made up his mind that if Xiao Yan really dared to disregard Qing Mu's life or death, then he would make sure that Qing Mu suffered a terrible death!
Upon hearing Hei Mu's words, Xiao Yan raised an eyebrow. Qing Mu's relationship with Elder Luo was extraordinary, and no matter who he was trying to win over, Xiao Yan would never disregard Qing Mu's life or death!
"Heh... alright, enough with the nonsense. I only said that to tease you before, but now that the kid's awake, there's no need to keep playing around with you..."
Before Xiao Yan could make a move, Gu You looked at Hei Mu with a cold smile, his hand slowly extending from under his sleeve and clenching in mid-air.
At the same time, the Heavenly Flames cage that trapped Hei Mu was also getting smaller and smaller...
"Hey, now you'd better just accept your fate!"
