Chapter 340
Taoyuan Villa.
In a quiet room within the villa.
Qiao Mu and Mu Jian Sanren Lu Yanbei sat opposite each other.
Lu Yanbei, a member of Mujian Sanren, parted ways with Qiao Mu and three hundred veterans after walking out of the hundred-mile desert.
The last time they met, Qiao Mu's name was still "Qiao Shui", and they were in front of the grave of the sword-banished immortal in Anxi Pass.
When they met at this time, Qiao Mu regarded Lu Yanbei as an old friend, but Lu Yanbei was a little cautious.
Lu Yanbei is known as the "Sanren of Wooden Swords". He learned swordsmanship from his younger brother, the Sword Exalted Immortal Lu Yannan, and is also a famous swordsman in the world.
He is eighty-seven years old like Jian Banxian, but after not seeing him for more than half a year this time, Lu Yanbei is obviously looking much better.
There were fewer wrinkles on his face, and he looked like an old man in his seventies.
In particular, he was in good spirits, his eyes were piercing, and when he looked around, he was like a sword that was not sheathed.
In a daze, Qiao Mu seemed to see the sword-banished immortal within a hundred miles of desert.
In fact, Lu Yanbei and Jian Banxian are twin brothers from the same mother, and their looks are somewhat similar.
It's just that Sword Banished Immortal has been secretly practicing immortality for a long time, and he doesn't look old in appearance.
Lu Yanbei, on the other hand, is an eighty-year-old warrior who has entered his old age. In Qiao Mu's impression, he is much older. In appearance, the two brothers are more like a father and a son.
"It seems that it's the Humanity Sutra... No, it's the Sumeru King Sutra. Have you succeeded in practicing it?" Qiao Mu looked at Lu Yanbei carefully and asked.
"Mr. Qiao has a keen eye." Lu Yanbei nodded.
As early as in the hundreds of miles of desert, he, along with the soldiers and civilians in the city, were taught the "Sutra of the King of Mount Sumeru" by the Qiao family, and he was considered one of the earliest practitioners.
His qualifications and understanding are not bad, and he was also at the level of God Refining at his peak.
It's just that when Qiao Mu met him, he was already eighty-seven years old. He was no longer at his peak and his energy and blood were declining. Even the "god" has declined along with it, and his heart for martial arts is not as firm as it was when he was young.
"The entry of "The Sumeru King Sutra" is quite good." Qiao Mu nodded:
"The Sumeru King Sutra can be directly transferred to the Humanity Sutra."
"Those who can practice martial arts to the first level in the martial arts world of the old era are the best among people."
"And these days, you should achieve higher."
In the old days of martial arts, the first rank was undoubtedly the best among men, and was already at the top of the ninth rank martial arts system.
As for the super product?
In the past hundreds of years, there were only a few or a dozen super-class warriors of the same era in the entire martial arts world. Earlier, they could only be counted on two hands. Naturally, they were all rare and talented heroes.
It's a pity that the top martial arts masters in the past have already died in the hands of martial saints.
If the Spear Saint, Eight-Armed Heavenly Dragon and the like could survive to this day, I wonder if they could shine with new glory like the Martial Saint.
When Lu Yanbei heard Qiao Mu's praise, he felt a little emotional.
To be praised so much by a living martial arts legend is considered an honor even for a long-established martial arts master.
"In old age, half of one's feet are in the coffin, but one can still improve martial arts, thanks to the help of the seniors of the Qiao family." Lu Yanbei sighed.
"It was you who helped yourself, not my Qiao family." Qiao Mu's eyes fell on Lu Yan's north face.
This person's Qi and blood have not yet reached the peak, but his spiritual cultivation has been the first to be perfected, and he has re-entered the first level.
"If you make a resolution in your later years, your heart will never grow old. It is your will that reaches the top again. The Sumeru King Sutra does not have such a miraculous effect."
In the past, when he was in front of the tomb of Jian Banxian under Xi'an Pass, Lu Yanbei was determined to bring back the sword body of Jian Ban Xian from the hands of the Immortal Sect.
This is naturally an almost impossible thing, but it is obvious that Lu Yanbei is not just talking, which can be seen from the breakthrough in his state of mind.
"In fact, in the past six months, I have been looking for news about my younger brother Lu Yannan. He turned his body into a sword, lost his body, and fell into the hands of Elder Qingzhuo of the Dao Dao Sect."
Lu Yanbei said:
"Only recently, I heard that there is another legend about the birth of a divine sword in the southeastern state."
"It is said that there is a magic sword that is neither copper, iron, nor steel. It can speak human words, swing it in the air, and demonstrate superior swordsmanship to others..."
"Do you suspect that this is the sword banishing the immortal?" Qiao Mu was surprised.
He was just sighing, what would happen if the most powerful martial arts masters of the past era, such as the Spear Saint and the Eight-Armed Heavenly Dragon, were born in this world, but he immediately heard the news that the sword was banished to immortals?
"It's just suspicion." Lu Yanbei said:
"The aliens are always cunning, maybe it's a trap."
"If I go to Southeast Prefecture alone to explore the truth, I'm afraid that I will be alone and weak, and I will end up losing my life ---"
"So you came to me for help?" Qiao Mu became interested.
Regardless of whether it is true or not, a sword-relegated immortal who survives in the sword by unknown means is worth a trip to Southeast State.
He has no objection to assisting in boxing.
Previously, when Qiao Mu was still "Qiao Shui", he had made a promise to Lu Yanbei, saying that the Qiao family would personally bring the Sword Banished Immortal back from the Dao Sect.
Now the promise can be regarded as fulfilled.
Lu Yanbei's face turned red, showing a look of embarrassment.
"I'll bother you with this matter, Mr. Qiao."
"I...old man Lu Yanbei has never asked for help in his life. It's just that my brother's life is in danger due to this matter, and my strength is low and I am not strong enough to compete with the Immortal Sect."
"Actually...if Elder Qingzhuo was still in the Dao Sect, he would naturally not be so shameless..."
Lu Yanbei's words were hesitant and obviously a bit embarrassing.
After hesitating for a long time, he finally made up his mind and simply said:
"Mr. Qiao may regard the old man as a hypocrite who is trying to push his limits, or he may regard him as a shameless villain..."
He knelt down on the ground, abandoned his dignity and kowtowed deeply at the tree:
"If Mr. Qiao agrees, this old man's life will belong to the Qiao family from now on. I am willing to die for the Qiao family."
But when he raised his head, he found that Qiao Mu had already stood up at some point and was standing at the door of the quiet room, looking at the fat cat stretching in the courtyard with her back to him.
"What's the point of taking your life?"
"It's just this matter... I'm responsible for it myself." Qiao Mu said.
Looking back from Qiao Mu's current perspective.
The elder Qingzhuo who lived in the Baili Desert back then was indeed a proper Nascent Soul cultivator, but his eyes were too high and he suffered a big loss.
With Qiao Mu's original martial arts strength, it was absolutely impossible to deal with the elders of the Immortal Sect.
Even if you use up your five lives, you still won't be able to get out of the hundred-mile desert.
Therefore, Qiao Mu actually accepted the sentiment of Jian banishing the immortal. In his opinion, he is just repaying a favor.
What's more... if the Sword Banished Immortal can really be rescued, what kind of trouble can the Sword Banished Immortal in the form of a stone sword cause in today's Kyushu?
"Although I will continue with this matter, the southeastern state is far away and needs to be considered in the long term."
Qiao Mu had just killed an immortal sect elder from Southwest State, and there was absolutely no way that Yunxiao Sect could just pretend that nothing happened.

If he doesn't take action for the time being, he is probably brewing a conspiracy, it's just the calm before the storm.
It would be easy if Qiao Mu walked away at this moment, but if the thunder and wrath of the Immortal Sect would follow, others would have to bear the responsibility.
Lu Yanbei naturally bowed deeply, thanked him, and left.
Just as Qiao Mu was about to take out the scroll and continue to deduce the method of disintegrating the demon, two more people approached him unexpectedly.
One of these two people was Wayne, and the other was a strange young man whom Qiao Mu had never seen before.
"Mr. Qiao." Wayne handed over his hand and said:
"He is Wu Qizheng, who has been running to kill Wu Shengren."
Wayne spoke quickly, as if he had something important to do:
"With such a marvelous work as the "Divine Transformation Technique", I naturally have to hand it over to the court as soon as possible. I'll take my leave now."
The earlier Yan Taizu mastered the "Divine Transformation Technique", the better the situation in Zhongzhou would be.
Nowadays, Kyushu is in chaos, and the remaining eight states are in flames of war. The national destiny of the Great Yan Dynasty is weakening every day, which means that the deterrent power of the Human King Sword is naturally declining.
Now the emperor is young and not enough to support the overall situation.
The entire Great Yan Dynasty was supported by Taizu Yan alone.
And a "Divine Transformation Technique" can greatly improve Yan Taizu's strength, which gives Wayne hope of stabilizing the situation in Kyushu.
Moreover, Qiao Mu gave him not only "Divine Transformation Technique", but also "Lingxi Sound Transmission Technique".
"Lingxi Sound Transmission Technique" has no benefit to Yan Taizu's personal martial arts cultivation, but it is of great significance.
This kind of intuitive intuition between warriors can transcend the blockade of the Immortal Sect, and is expected to allow Zhongzhou to connect with the other eight states.
Wayne, who is known as the best in the world in Qinggong, naturally has to personally take charge of such important matters, running all night to the imperial capital of Zhongzhou.
Wayne left in a hurry without saying much.
Only Wu Qizheng and Qiao Mu were left standing facing each other in the quiet room.
"Are you Wu Qizheng?" Qiao Mu looked at the strange young man in front of him.
This young man looks like he is only in his twenties, still very young, but his eyes are deep and he looks very extraordinary.
Wu Qizheng, whom he met in Nanzhou, looked like an ordinary middle-aged man.
But think about it, Wu Qizheng, who is proficient in the changes of flesh and blood, wears a mask all the time like Qiao Mu, and no one knows his true age and true appearance.
"I heard that you want to cause trouble for Wu Shengren?" Wu Qizheng said:
"If there are any warriors in this world who can stop and kill the Martial Saint, I think it is only you, the Qiao family."
"As long as you have the idea of killing the Martial Saint, I can help you."
Wu Qizheng's attitude is neither close nor far, and he has a slight sense of distance in his dealings with others.
The original "Qiao Zhong" and the original "Wu Qizheng" had some friendship, but now both parties have changed.
Qiao Mu is not the original "Qiao Zhong", and Wu Qizheng may not be exactly the same as the original Wu Qizheng.
It is not an easy thing to hide the method of death by changing flesh and blood from the Martial Saint and the elders of the Immortal Sect at the same time.
Perhaps the original Wu Qizheng had died under the thunder, and what was in front of Qiao Mu was just a creature of the same name derived from the myriad changes in flesh and blood.
Qiao Mu asked: "Dong Xinglin, the famous doctor who treated Hai Wuya in the imperial capital of Zhongzhou and cut off his flesh to prolong his life, are you pretending to be?"
Qiao Mu frowned when he thought of this:
"But Dong Xinglin is a famous doctor who has been famous for a long time. There is a forest of apricot trees in front of the hospital. It is said that one is planted for every person saved. Even if it takes more than ten years to accumulate, it will not create such a scenery."
"Oh, you're talking about that." Wu Qizheng said calmly:
"I planted the apricot trees, and I sent people to spread the reputation. It is my apprentices who practice medicine on weekdays. But 'Dong Xinglin' is old and does not often practice medicine himself. Is there a problem?"
Qiao Mu was speechless for a moment.
That's right, Wu Shengren's "adopted son" would never be able to follow his duty and follow an ordinary path even if he thought about it.
Wu Qi was the only Wu family member who was completely free from Wu Shengren's control, but this free man deliberately wanted to kill Wu Shengren.
"As for cutting off flesh to survive..." Wu Qizheng narrowed his eyes slightly:
"I just think that a pure person like Hai Wuya should live a little longer."
When it came to Hai Wu Ya, Wu Qizheng also felt something. He didn't want to talk more about this topic, so he directly changed the topic and dropped a bombshell:
"Wu Qiankun is dead."
"Killed by the Martial Saint himself."
"The recent 'monster engulfing the city' disaster in Southwest Prefecture, where every living thing in villages, towns and counties disappeared overnight, was actually caused by Wu Qiankun."
"....Wu Shengren killed Wu Qiankun, he couldn't have done it to clean up the family, right?" Qiao Mu didn't believe it.
"I don't believe it either." Wu Qizheng said coldly:
"Who can believe that he has the heart of a saint when he does shameless things?"
"Anyone can say something nice, but in the final analysis, you have to watch what he does, not what he says."
Wu Qizheng's eyes were indifferent. As an abandoned son who died in Wu Shengren's place, it was obvious that he had no expectations or trust in Wu Shengren.
"Do you hate the Martial Saint so much?" Qiao Mu was a little surprised.
The family relationship of this Wu Sheng family does not seem to be very harmonious.
Unlike the Qiao family, there are so many people in the whole family, and everyone is so good that they wear the same pair of pants.
"In my opinion, strangers are the source of trouble in the world, while Wu Shengren is the source of another trouble." Wu Qizheng narrowed his eyes:
"Wu Qiankun is the adopted son and daughter-in-law of Saint Wu. He has the highest martial arts skills and the highest level of spiritual cultivation. He was once ranked first on the list of gods."
"Although the Taotie Devouring Heaven Technique is an unparalleled feat, it is not without its flaws."
"It is extremely demanding on the mind. Every time it is swallowed, it is a process of iron sharpening iron. If it cannot sharpen a sharp edge, it will break."
"As a result, even Wu Qiankun, the most powerful among us, has become an out-of-control beast."
"As strong as Wu Qiankun, he only stops at this point. Although Wu Shengren is stronger than him, how far can he go?"
"You mean...that Wu Qiankun is actually a possibility of Wu Shengren? A future?" Qiao Mu's heart moved.
"Yes, but it's not just that." Wu Qizheng said:
"Not only Wu Qiankun, but also the rest of the Wu family, are they not just as likely as Wu Qiankun?"
As a former Seventy-Two Sage, Wu Qizheng naturally understood Wu Jihui and Wu Shengren very well.
During the period of "Wu Sheng Sheng Rhino Jue", three thousand martial arts geniuses were selected through bloody selection, and less than a hundred people survived in the end.
But Wu Shengren soon knew that this road would not work.
The strongest person selected in this bloody selection is naturally Wu Qiankun, and he is just a "little Wu Sheng". After all, he is following Wu Qiankun's back.
The bloody screening failed, because no matter how hard you train, you can't cultivate a peerless master who can stand shoulder to shoulder with the Martial Saint.
On the path of Taotie, Wu Shengren is an invincible strong man. No one in the past and no one in the future can catch up.
