So, They Were the Protagonists All Along

The valley fell into a brief silence, and countless eyes fell on Mu Zhian, and the same thought flashed through their minds: Is he crazy?

A cultivator in the realm of refining spirits dared to challenge the current state master like this?

The current state master of the Dagan Dynasty personally asked for his opinion, which was already a great honor.

The other party wanted to "invite" Wei Mengrou to the Dagan Dynasty, and it was a must, whether Mu Zhian agreed or not, the final result would be the same.

And Gu Boxing gave a way out, but Mu Zhian actually refused?

These young cultivators who participated in the Ascension Conference had some vision. Some people could not recognize the black light that Wei Mengrou had just shot up into the sky when she was refining the Heavenly Dao Qi, but some people still guessed it.

——The body of doom!

The body of doom recorded in ancient books in the past, which buried countless dynasties!

Regardless of whether the records in the ancient books are accurate or not, the Dagan Dynasty is now declining. Even if the body of doom is just a legend, even if there is only a 1% chance that it will destroy the entire dynasty, they will never allow the body of doom to exist.

The golden Dharma image seemed to cover most of the sky, with a towering body, and a pair of calm and gentle eyes fell on Mu Zhian.

"Do you mean to reject my invitation?"

Although the voice was extremely gentle, for some reason, the voice was majestic without anger, which made people feel an indescribable sense of awe.

It seemed that there was a surging tide invisibly, and the overwhelming sense of oppression made the foreheads of the monks present gradually ooze cold sweat.

And this was just the residual power of Gu Boxing. He was not really targeting them, but Mu Zhian.

At this time, a dazzling golden light behind Lan Mulian spread quietly like rippling water, and the white dress seemed to be dyed into a golden dress by the golden light.

She took a half step forward, and the golden light isolated the pressure.

"It's a bit unreasonable for the current state master to interfere with the assessment of disciples in the martial world, right?" Lan Murian looked up at the golden statue and spoke calmly.

Gu Boxing's eyes froze on Lan Murian for a moment, and then he smiled faintly: "I don't intend to interfere with the Ascension Conference, but the body of doom will affect the fate of a dynasty. If I can't bring people back today, I can't explain to His Majesty."

As soon as these words came out, many people immediately cursed in their hearts that you are shameless! You are a state master of the current dynasty who has gathered the "power of faith" of the people. What can the emperor do to you? Can't he behead you?

In the final analysis, the legend of the body of doom is just a legend. How can an individual's luck affect the fate of the country? The reason why this generation of dynasties will be weak is more because the old emperor is devoted to practicing Taoism and doing nothing.

Wanting to practice Taoism but unwilling to give up power, the dynasty gradually evolved into the current situation.

"As for your master, I will tell her about this later." Gu Boxing said again.

Ye Lingxuan frowned slightly and said, "The national teacher always claims that the body of doom will affect the fate of the dynasty, but this is just a legend, isn't it?"

"Huh?"

Gu Boxing suddenly made a doubtful sound and looked at Ye Lingxuan with surprise.

Is the forbidden area saint also here...?

After this glance, his eyes quickly swept over the other people one by one.

Then, his eyes stayed on Bai Ruoxi's face for a moment, with a bit of surprise in his eyes.

It seems that there is something hidden in the body of this female cultivator... He didn't even see the other party's realm at first glance.

And the talents of these people are a bit evil...

Gu Boxing thought about this and quickly gathered his thoughts.

No matter what, no matter how powerful their talents are, they are only cultivators in the realm of refining spirits now.

No matter how high your talent is, no matter how proud you are, you are only in the realm of refining spirits now.

In front of the peak of returning to the void, everything is illusory.

Gu Boxing cast his eyes back to Mu Zhian, and said in a gentle voice: "Friend Mu, are you really not going to reconsider?"

Everything must be done with a legitimate reason. Wei Mengrou is Mu Zhian's maid. If Mu Zhian agrees to the invitation from the Dagan Dynasty, he can take Wei Mengrou back with dignity.

By that time, the Liangyi Sect will have no choice.

Because Wei Mengrou "voluntarily" went to the Dagan Dynasty, and Mu Zhian also agreed.

However, Gu Boxing did not expect that Mu Zhian would actually refuse his "invitation" under pressure.

Mu Zhian glanced at Wei Mengrou calmly, and then said something in a voice transmission.

Wei Mengrou's eyes moved slightly, as if she wanted to say something, but she still held back and just said "hmm" in a voice transmission.

He withdrew his gaze without leaving a trace, and looked up at the golden Dharma image in the air: "Before answering, may I ask the Imperial Master a question first?"

When this was said, many cultivators sighed secretly in their hearts.

Mu Zhian's words actually showed some submissiveness. He was looking for a natural way out.

"It's not that I failed to save the maid next to me, but after careful consideration, I finally decided to let the maid and the Imperial Master return to the Dagan Dynasty... I'm afraid that's what Mu Zhian thinks now." A cultivator couldn't help but whispered.

Next, Mu Zhian would probably ask questions about what situation the maid would face if she went to the Dagan Dynasty. After confirming that she would be fine, he agreed to Gu Boxing's "invitation".

Of course, he agreed on the surface, but in fact he was forced to agree after being coerced, just to save face.

"There is nothing I can do about it. If it were me, I would have to do this." Someone shook his head and sighed.

Even Ye Gan, who used to get along badly with Mu Zhian, couldn't help but frown.

He naturally guessed what Gu Boxing was thinking.

Even if Mu Zhian rejected Gu Boxing's proposal, the current state teacher could also forcibly take Wei Mengrou away.

From the beginning, this was a dead end.

An existence suspected of being under the Hedao took action, and his cultivation was not restricted in the martial world. This was too desperate.

For now, he could only accept his proposal and make a decision after leaving the martial world.

However, Mu Zhian was from the side of the Lord of the Forbidden Zone and was also involved with the Yaochi Holy Land, but Mu Zhian was Mu Zhian. Neither the Forbidden Zone nor the Yaochi Holy Land would necessarily take action for Wei Mengrou.

If the person who was threatened today was Mu Zhian... then Gu Boxing would probably have to think about it.

Gu Boxing obviously guessed that Mu Zhian was trying to save his life, and the smile on his face became more intense. He said with a smile: "Please tell me, my friend."

"What if she goes back to the Dagan Dynasty with you?" Mu Zhian asked.

Gu Boxing smiled lightly and said: "The body of misfortune may not really affect the national destiny. If it is just a rumor, I will send her back to Liangyi Sect safely afterwards."

"When can we confirm whether it affects the national destiny?" Mu Zhian asked.

"The body of misfortune involves the secrets of heaven. I need to be careful to predict the hexagrams to avoid the backlash of the secrets of heaven. It will take ten years at the fastest and a hundred years at the slowest." Gu Boxing said.

In other words, no matter what, Wei Mengrou will have to leave the Dagan Dynasty for at least ten years.

As soon as this was said, there was a whisper.

"Isn't this too much?"

"Even if the monks have a long life, but letting a maid stay in an unfamiliar environment for ten years without any relatives or friends around... If it were me, I would go crazy." Someone heard this and couldn't help but say indignantly.

Mu Zhian raised his head calmly and said, "My maid has done nothing, why should she suffer this punishment?"

Gu Boxing sighed as if he was pitying the world: "The body of misfortune is not recognized by God. Perhaps, this is also God's punishment."

The words were calm and gentle, and seemed to be full of pity for the world.

"Can you represent God?" Bai Ruoxi stared at the golden statue, not afraid of the momentum that Gu Boxing exuded at this moment.

"At least it's okay now." Gu Boxing said with a smile.

At this time, in the crowd, Tang Sufei raised her head and suddenly said: "Miss Wei is a distinguished guest of my World Sea. If we fail to bring her back to the World Sea, I'm afraid there will be some trouble later."

"Then let those old guys in the World Sea come to ask for her." Gu Boxing smiled lightly, not being soft or hard.

Tang Sufei frowned and stared at the golden statue, but there was no better way at the moment.

A being whose cultivation is not restricted in the martial world is not something they can stop... No one can.

Ye Lingxuan was about to speak, but at this moment, Mu Zhian raised his hand to stop her.

"Brother Mu..." She seemed to want to say something, but when she saw Mu Zhian shaking his head slightly, she finally fell silent.

Then, under the gaze of everyone, Mu Zhian raised his hand and bowed, respectfully saying: "The national teacher is dedicated to the country and the people, which is really admirable. I am also a citizen of Dagan, so I will naturally cooperate with the national teacher."

Bai Ruoxi's eyes moved slightly, and he subconsciously glanced at Mu Zhian.

He smiled and bowed slightly, looking quite respectful.

However, for some reason, Bai Ruoxi felt something was wrong.

This is not his style...

"But before that, I have another word, I don't know if I should say it." Mu Zhian said.

"You can say it, my friend." Gu Boxing narrowed his eyes and smiled.

Mu Zhian whispered something.

But because the voice was too soft, the national teacher didn't hear it clearly.

"What did you just say, young friend?"

"I said,"

Mu Zhian raised his head and grinned.

"Fuck your bullshit Wang Dynasty!!!"

The Eight Desolate Dream Map opened in an instant and rushed towards the golden Dharma in the air. At the same time, Wei Mengrou turned around and rushed towards the exit of another area as if she had a telepathic connection!

It was very special in the martial world. Gu Boxing was able to detect Wei Mengrou at the first time because of the bad luck she had previously exuded when refining the energy of the Heavenly Dao.

But as long as he went to other areas, Gu Boxing could not easily detect her existence.

This scene happened so suddenly that the monks who were watching had not yet reacted.

However, Gu Boxing reacted immediately and knew that he had been fooled, and there was a bit more coldness in his eyes.

Boom!

The Eight Desolate Dream Map enveloped the golden Dharma!

However, at this time, Gu Boxing raised the golden hand of the Dharma image and directly waved away the Eight Desolate Dream Map.

Then, he looked up at Wei Mengrou's back, and the smile on his face finally faded a little.

"It seems that I really underestimated Mu Xiaoyou's determination."

"But... the gap between returning to the void and refining the spirit, I'm afraid you don't have a clear understanding."

Gu Boxing raised his hand and grabbed in the direction of Wei Mengrou.

Mu Zhian sacrificed the Pure World Green Lotus, which flew towards the golden Dharma image in the air, emitting a strong breath.

However, as Gu Boxing said, the peak of Return to Void is not something that a Soul Refining Realm can deal with. He just snorted coldly, and the Pure World Green Lotus dissipated.

The lightsaber behind Bai Ruoxi bloomed quietly, but at this time, a huge cage fell from the sky in the air!

Boom!

The cage directly trapped several people in it, and the formation was quietly running. No matter how the lightsaber bombarded, it could only be barely shaken but difficult to erase.

This is the peak of Return to Void, and the current state master who has gathered the "power of faith" of many people in the Da Gan Dynasty! If they were in the same realm, Bai Ruoxi would naturally be able to blast open this formation, but now the state master who possesses the power of faith is naturally not something that a Soul Refining Realm cultivator can deal with.

"State Master, have you considered the consequences of doing this?" Lan Murian raised his head and looked at the golden Dharma image. Although his face was calm, there was a faint golden glow in his eyes.

"I will personally go to the sect to apologize later, but no matter what happens today, she must go with me." Gu Boxing said coldly.

As for Mu Zhian... no matter how talented he is, whether he is the "favorite" of the Qing Emperor or someone else, he is just an external force in the end.

There are only a few people in the Hedao Realm. Who would fight to the death with the national teacher of the Dagan Dynasty for a cultivator in the Lianshen Realm?

Besides, the person he is looking for is not Mu Zhian, but the maid with the body of doom beside him.

Mu Zhian stared at the big hand, and the huge palm caught Wei Mengrou, who had already fled a very long distance, in almost the blink of an eye.

Then, the ring in Gu Boxing's hand emitted a faint glow, and Wei Mengrou's figure was gradually enveloped by the light of the ring.

A ring that can accommodate one person!

As if she noticed Mu Zhian's gaze, Wei Mengrou subconsciously looked in his direction.

Mu Zhian looked at her quietly, never saying a word.

"Don't worry, I'll find a chance to come back to you after I return to the Void Realm." Wei Mengrou's voice rang in Mu Zhian's ears.

"This is unlike you. Shouldn't you be scolding your master for being incompetent and unable to help you?" Mu Zhian said in a self-mocking tone.

"There are only a few people who can fight him in the entire Jiuzhou. It's not your fault." Wei Mengrou said in a voice.

"I will take you back." Mu Zhian's calm and natural tone rang in Wei Mengrou's ears, as if he was talking about something ordinary.

On one side is the peak of the Return to Void Realm, and on the other side is the Refining Spirit Realm, but for some reason, Wei Mengrou inexplicably believes what he said.

A faint smile rarely appeared on her cold face, and she seemed to whisper something.

Then, the figure completely disappeared from the field of vision.

Deathly silence.

This is the existence of the peak of returning to the void, plus the "power of faith" of the Dagan Dynasty. In the era when the Dao could not be combined, he represented the peak of combat power.

Gu Boxing looked down at the young man on the ground with pity, and said faintly: "I have said it long ago, no matter what decision you make, I can take her away in the end."

The Green Emperor may value you, but will she take action for the maid beside you?

Not only the Green Emperor, but also the forbidden area.

Is it possible that the Lord of the forbidden area will personally ask for a maid beside Mu Zhian?

This is not realistic.

Moreover, if the Dagan Dynasty is gone, the national destiny of Dongzhou will also be reset and a new dynasty will be evolved.

And this will take a certain amount of time.

During this period of time, if the demon world attacks Dongzhou, without the blessing of the national destiny of the Dagan Dynasty, it will turn into a difficult battle.

He also saw this point, so he would take action in such an occasion as the martial world.

No matter how unconvinced Mu Zhian is, the disparity in strength between the two sides will not change.

This is a destined ending.

I thought the young man in front of me would show a look of impotent rage or fear of his power, but when Gu Boxing's eyes fell on Mu Zhian's face, he found that his expression was extremely calm from beginning to end.

"This world is the law of the weak and the strong. Ten or a hundred years later, I will arrange for you to meet... provided that you can live to that time." Gu Boxing smiled.

Normal cultivators can naturally live for a hundred years, but after a hundred years, can the relationship between the master and servant still be the same as before?

In the final analysis, no one knows whether Mu Zhian will die unexpectedly in the next hundred years.

Moreover, once it is confirmed that the body of doom will really affect the national destiny of the dynasty... no one knows what will happen next.

"National Master, do you know why no one in the Hedao realm has tried to stop you from just now until now?" Mu Zhian suddenly said.

Gu Boxing frowned slightly and said nothing.

"Because the person who was arrested today is not me." Mu Zhian continued.

"If I were the one in danger, or if my aura weakened or even disappeared... someone would come to the martial world."

Gu Boxing sneered secretly: "The premise is that you are the one in danger, but I have nothing to do with you."

Mu Zhian stroked the cage of the formation, feeling its cold touch, and said to himself: "If the contest between you and me is likened to a game, and the maid being caught means the game is lost, then I am the loser now."

For some reason, Gu Boxing felt something was wrong.

He was too calm...so calm that it felt a little abnormal.

Is it because he didn't care about the maid, or...

At this time, Mu Zhian raised his head and looked at the golden statue.

"In other words, as long as I am the one in danger, I win the game."

Gu Boxing sneered: "But you have already lost."

"Yes, I have lost."

Mu Zhian raised his fingertips casually.

"But you haven't won yet."

A light blue interface appeared silently in the field of vision.

Gu Boxing frowned: "What do you want to say?"

Mu Zhian raised his head and looked at him quietly, tilted his head slightly, and suddenly smiled: "Wait."

He slapped the file loading button.

At this moment, the whole world seemed to stop.

Everything around was distorted as if the air was burning, the sound in the ear gradually blurred, and then, the scenery in front of him flashed by quickly like a fleeting light.

The next moment, Mu Zhian slowly opened his eyes, and there seemed to be sparks splashing in his pupils like iron forging.
