The Portal of Wonderland

Two days later, Wu Yanxing.

In a secluded valley in the Pangui tribe, there is a quiet cave.

A secret room in the mansion is now filled with glistening green light, which flickers rhythmically, causing the original cave walls to be reflected like emeralds.

In the center of the green light, Shi Mu closed his eyes and sat cross-legged. A small green tripod floating in front of him was slowly rotating, and wisps of cyan light radiated from it, lingering around him.

After a series of fierce battles before, although the Mitian Alliance won a big victory in the end, both their body and mind suffered a lot of wear and tear, and it took some effort to cultivate for a while before they could recover.

After a while, Shi Mu frowned slightly, the green light in the room gradually faded, and the phantom of the small tripod on his chest also disappeared.

If you have anything to say, come in and talk. Shi Mu opened his eyes and said lightly.

Immediately afterwards, there was a sound of rubbing against the stone door, and a charming woman walked in, but it was Jin Xiaochai.

Shi Mu, Xue'er has been imprisoned by you for several days, what do you plan to do with her? Jin Xiaochai immediately asked as soon as she entered the secret room.

What do you want me to do? Shi Mu raised his head to look at her and asked back.

I don't need to say how Xue'er treats you, I naturally hope you can let her go. Jin Xiaochai said.

Take me to see her. Shi Mu smiled and said noncommittally.

Seeing that he didn't give an answer, Jin Xiaochai wanted to ask again, but Shi Mu had already stood up and walked out towards the secret room on his own.

Shi Mu and Jin Xiaochai came to the secret room, flew up one after another, turned into two rainbow lights, and flew out from the valley.

Along the way, the two kept flying west without saying a word.

After a stick of incense, the two landed in a remote courtyard under a low mountain.

The entire courtyard is shrouded in a layer of pale golden forbidden light curtain, covering an area of ​​about seven or eight acres, quite quiet, surrounded by an ancient wood forest.

The two came to the door and stood side by side.

There are two tall ginkgo trees planted on the left and right of the door, but there are two stone round benches under the trees.

There are some quaint runes engraved on these two round stools, and the rune grooves are covered with dust, which looks very ordinary.

However, Shi Mu knew that these were the two hubs that sealed off the entire courtyard formation.

This banning formation was created by the Pangui Clan, and it has its own special features, but to Shi Mu today, it is nothing.

The light on his fingers flickered, and he tapped a few times in the void, and several rays of light immediately flew into the stone round bench under the ginkgo tree.

There was only a sound of 嗤, and a round stool shifted a few feet to the right.

Immediately afterwards, a gap several feet wide was opened in the formation.

Let's go

After Shi Mu said a word, he stepped in.

Seeing this, Jin Xiaochai hurriedly followed and walked into the courtyard.

The two walked through the courtyard and the hall, and came to the door of the main house.

bang bang bang

Shi Mu raised his hand and knocked on the door a few times.

Come in. A slightly cold voice sounded from inside the door.

Shi Mu pushed open the door and walked in.

Jin Xiaochai followed behind him, hesitated for a moment, but didn't go in, but raised her hand and closed the door, sighing softly.

Entering the room, Shi Mu saw Ximen Xue sitting at the round table, holding an ancient scroll in his hand, watching it quietly.

She doesn't have any magic weapons like chains to imprison her, but Shi Mu can see that in her spiritual sea, a rather powerful restriction has been placed, which makes her spiritual power sealed, and she can't do it at all. Mobilize every minute.

The reason why Shi Mu can see this kind of restriction is because this kind of restriction is unique to the giant ape family.

In other words, the restriction imposed by Ximen Xue was actually imposed by the Great Elder that day.

Senior Sister Xue. Shi Mu was silent for a moment, then called out.

I didn't expect that I would become your prisoner when we met this time. Ximen Xue put down the ancient scroll, looked at Shi Mu, and said with some emotion.

You know, I never thought of imprisoning you. Shi Mu asked.

But you and I are now on opposite sides. Ximenxue said with a smile.

Shi Mu looked at her beautiful smile, but he could clearly see a trace of loneliness in it.

Since you have already chosen Tianting, why did you tell me about Wuyan Star before? Shi Mu asked with a sigh.

After hearing this, Ximen Xue turned her eyes away from Shi Mu's body, looked to one side, her beautiful eyes froze, as if she was deep in thought, and did not speak for a long time.

Seeing this, Shi Mu didn't say anything to urge him, but just looked at the other party quietly, and also fell silent.

At this moment, it seemed that the time in the whole room was also frozen.

After an unknown amount of time, Ximenxue's long eyelashes trembled slightly, as if she had regained her senses, she shook her head with a self-deprecating smile, her smile was beautiful.

But she didn't go to see Shi Mu, nor did she explain anything.

I can let you go, but you have to tell me, what is your real purpose? Shi Mu continued to ask.

Ximen Xue remained silent, as if she hadn't heard anything.

What is the purpose of the Heavenly Court digging up spirit stones? Shi Mu continued to ask.

After hearing this, Ximen Xue simply picked up the ancient scroll again without even looking at Shi Mu.

What the hell is he planning?

...

Shi Mu asked several questions one after another, but Ximen Xue ignored them, even the expression on his face didn't change a bit.

Senior Sister Xue, let me ask one last question, what exactly are you pursuing? Shi Mu asked with a slight frown.

Hearing this question, Ximen Xue was no longer silent, raised her head, looked at Shi Mu with her beautiful eyes, and asked back: What am I pursuing, don't you already know?

When Shi Mu heard the words, he was stunned for a while, and his eyes became extremely complicated.

After a long while, he sighed, and said: After all, you told me about Wuyan Star, otherwise, if Wuyan Star was breached, the Mitian Alliance would not be where it is today. For Yu Gong, You have not committed any unforgivable big mistake, but you have shown great kindness to us... Personally speaking, I don’t want to embarrass you.”

After finishing speaking, Shi Mu quickly pinched his hands in front of him, playing out complex formulas one after another, then put his hands together, protruding his index finger, and pointed in front of Ximen Xue.

There was a slight buzz.

Ximen Xuexiu frowned suddenly, showing a bit of pain, but she didn't snort.

Immediately afterwards, a radiance lit up on her body, and dark golden lines lit up from her lower abdomen. After flashing three times, they slowly faded away.

With the disappearance of the dark lines, Ximenxue's expression relaxed, and she clearly felt the spiritual power that had been imprisoned before, and it had recovered again.

Are you really going to let me go? Ximen Xue breathed out as if she had been pardoned, and asked, but there was no surprise in her expression.

The restriction on your body has been removed, and I will leave it to you in the future. Shi Mu said, turned around, and walked out the door.

When he reached the door, he stopped without looking back, and said in his mouth:

The elder who sits in the North Teleportation Hall of Beiwu City is not here today. There will be a handover at midnight. At that time, there will be a stick of incense free. With your skill and cultivation, no one will be able to find out.

After finishing speaking, Shi Mu raised his hand.

With a soft squeak, the door was opened, and Jin Xiaochai's figure appeared at the door. She looked at Ximen Xue in the room, and then at Shi Mu, but hesitated to speak.

Shi Mu turned sideways and made way for the passage.

Ximenxue got up and walked to the door, stopped again, suddenly turned to look at Shi Mu, and said:

Heavenly Court is digging spiritual mines in these star fields. I don't know why. I'm afraid only the existence of Twelve Immortal Generals can know. However, no matter what Heavenly Court is planning, they are not far from success.

Thank you for reminding me. After hearing this, Shi Mu raised his eyebrows slightly and said.

Ximenxue didn't say anything, and walked out the door.

Shi Mu suddenly thought of an extremely important matter, and hurriedly chased him out.

Senior Sister Xue, I have one more matter and I want to ask you for confirmation. Shi Mu said.

What's the matter? Ximenxue turned around and asked.

Before Suzaku Star was compromised and Zhong Xiu was captured by Zhao Jian, did you know? Shi Mu asked.

Oh, Suzaku Star was compromised? When did it happen? Ximenxue asked in surprise.

You don't know about this? Hearing what Ximenxue said, Shi Mu was even more surprised than she was.

Xue'er said she didn't know, so of course she really didn't know. Could she still lie to you? Jin Xiaochai said angrily when she saw this.

Senior Sister Jin, don't get me wrong. I'm not suspicious of Senior Sister Xue, I'm just a little surprised. Shi Mu explained.

Immediately, Shi Mu told Ximenxue and Ximenxue about Huotu's attack on Suzaku Star and what happened after that.

I'm afraid that this matter was done by Immortal Huotu himself. If it was ordered by Heavenly Court, then Immortal Pilu would lead the army to attack, so I don't know about it at all. Ximen Xue said after listening.

I understand. Shi Mu also had this judgment before, so he nodded and said.

After returning to the Heavenly Court, I will keep an eye out for you. As soon as there is any news, I will find a way to notify you. Ximen Xue said after pondering for a while.

Thank you. Shi Mu couldn't help feeling grateful, and nodded.

Jin Xiaochai stood where she was, looking at the scene of the two with strange eyes, then suddenly remembered something, her expression changed, and she couldn't help sighing.

Ximenxue looked at Shi Mu with complicated eyes, nodded slightly, then turned and walked out of the courtyard.

This time, she didn't look back.

I have been taken care of these days, and now I just go with Xue'er, so I won't continue to bother you, you kid should be careful. Jin Xiaochai said to Shi Mu with a smile.

After all, without waiting for Shi Mu to speak, his enchanting body turned around and chased after Ximen Xue.

Shi Mu stood there for a while, then shook his head with a wry smile.

The next moment, black and white wings flashed out from behind, and his figure rose from the ground and flew towards the east.
