So, They Were the Protagonists All Along

Everything in front of him flashed by like a fleeting light, the worried look of Ye Lingxuan and others, the doubtful and surprised look of Gu Boxing, and... those monks who looked here.

Some of those monks had sympathy in their eyes, while others had a look of watching a play or gloating.

At this moment, time seemed to be completely frozen.

The snowflakes stagnated in the air, and the wind also stagnated, as if the whole world turned gray.

If this is a game, and if Wei Mengrou was taken back to the Dagan Dynasty, it means the game failed, then Mu Zhian did lose in that week.

Being in the martial world, there is no intelligence, and it is not known that after Wei Mengrou refined the Qi of Heaven, the body of doom would be exposed.

Similarly, no one would have thought that the current national teacher of the Dagan Dynasty would be so decisive and choose to take Wei Mengrou away in the martial world.

Everything is the result of insufficient intelligence.

But there is still a chance to start over in life... at least Mu Zhian has.

The power of the original witch rewrote time and could even reset everything.

As Mu Zhian opened his eyes, the world seemed to be broken into pieces like a mirror, and then quickly reorganized.

Mu Zhian seemed to vaguely see a silver-haired beauty with a mysterious smile on her face. She was wearing a black robe, and her charming and charming eyes under the hood stared at Mu Zhian.

The charming lips under the black hood opened slightly, as if whispering something.

Then, she slowly opened her hands, as if hugging Mu Zhian.

"Brother Mu..."

"Brother Mu!"

Ye Qian's crisp and pleasant voice came faintly from his ears, and also pulled Mu Zhian's thoughts back to reality.

He turned his head slightly in a trance, and Ye Qian's delicate face full of concern came into view.

"Are you okay, Brother Mu?" Ye Qian gently grasped Mu Zhian's arm with her little hand, looking at him with worry in her eyes.

Mu Zhian looked around. On the mountaintop not far away, there were a group of cultivators secretly observing this place. The national teacher of the Dagan Dynasty was not here. The heavenly energy that Wei Mengrou had just given birth to when she passed the tribulation was rubbing against his arms, like a cat trying to please its owner.

Did it really reload the game... Mu Zhian quickly came back to his senses, raised his hand and smiled and stroked Ye Qian's head: "I'm fine, I was just thinking about something just now."

Being gently stroked by that warm big hand, Ye Qian's pretty face couldn't help but blush slightly.

If it was usually private, it would be fine, but in front of so many people, it was still a bit shy.

Ye Lingxuan looked at this scene with a smile, and the faint blush on her sister's pure and lovely face, and couldn't help but look up at Mu Zhian again.

As usual, he had a gentle smile on his face and looked at Ye Qian gently, as if there were some other emotions hidden deep in his eyes.

"Brother Mu, are you thinking about something?" Ye Lingxuan asked.

Bai Ruoxi seemed to have noticed that something was wrong with Mu Zhian, and couldn't help but ask: "What's on Mu's mind?"

Lan Mulian and Lan Feiying's eyes also fell on Mu Zhian.

How come they are so observant? If they go out on a date with a girl and get intimate with her in the future, they will be caught on the spot... Mu Zhian even felt like joking.

He silently withdrew his hand and shook his head, "It's okay, I just suddenly feel that I'm still a little weak."

Ye Lingxuan shook her head and smiled, "What are you talking about suddenly, Brother Mu? With your current realm, you can even have a place in the subsequent Ascension Conference. Don't be too self-deprecating."

"Yes, Brother Mu's cultivation has improved very quickly, at least more than most geniuses, it's already very powerful." Ye Qian followed and pecked his head gently.

"I know this, my talent is still very high." Mu Zhian also nodded in agreement.

Everyone was speechless for a while.

Mu Zhian quickly shook his head again and said, "But if compared with those old monsters, it will probably take a long, long time to catch up."

The Return to Void Realm is a hurdle. After the Return to Void Realm, it is difficult to advance to a higher level. Mu Zhian's talent is indeed amazing, but if compared with those old monsters who have practiced for thousands of years, the gap is naturally obvious.

"Which of those who have not practiced for decades or even hundreds of years in the Return to Void Realm? After all, you can have the strength of the Refining Spirit Realm at this age, which is more than 90% of the cultivators." Lan Murian spoke calmly, but he was a little confused.

Why did this guy suddenly lament his lack of strength? He just suppressed several cultivators of the same realm and even killed several powerful competitors in the Ascension Conference, didn't he?

Mu Zhian smiled and nodded, "Senior Sister, that's right, I'm just lamenting."

"But I do want to improve my strength."

When he said this, his eyes fell on the yellow-skirted maid.

"Sister Mengrou, if I say I want your Heavenly Qi, can you lend it to me temporarily?" Mu Zhian asked.

After saying this, Ye Lingxuan and Ye Qian looked at Mu Zhian almost at the same time, and even Lan Murian looked at Mu Zhian with a little more surprise.

Lan Feiying narrowed her eyes slightly and said, "What happened?"

This woman was too perceptive. She noticed Mu Zhian's abnormality just from one sentence.

"I'm just a little interested in this Heavenly Qi." Mu Zhian raised his hand, and the black Heavenly Qi immediately ran into Mu Zhian's palm.

He looked up at Wei Mengrou and smiled: "It just so happens that it is also very close to me, I should be able to refine it."

Wei Mengrou frowned slightly and said softly: "You already have one Heavenly Qi. If you add a second Heavenly Qi, your body may not be able to bear it."

Under normal circumstances, the capacity of a cauldron can only accommodate one Heavenly Qi at most. If Mu Zhian forcibly wants to refine the second Heavenly Qi, no one knows what will happen.

Mu Zhian shook his head and smiled lightly: "In fact, Sister Lin Ling said before that she would give me the second Heavenly Qi after the Ascension Conference. I think my cauldron should be different from others."

"You should also know this." He smiled and looked at Wei Mengrou.

Wei Mengrou opened her mouth slightly, as if she wanted to say something, but looking into Mu Zhian's eyes, she fell silent surprisingly.

After a while, Wei Mengrou said, "Don't force yourself."

"I know my limits." Mu Zhian said with a smile.

Then, he looked around at a few people, raised his hand, and clicked on the personal interface.

[Witch Body: Born as the protagonist of destiny, there is a chance to start over every ten years - save the existing record and reload the file) Current number of uses: 2]

The chance to save the file is still two times.

Because I reloaded the file, the number of times also reloaded the file...?

But isn't this a bug?

Mu Zhian didn't notice that when he was looking at the personal interface, the maid behind him was staring at him and never spoke.

Clicking on the save again, Mu Zhian turned around and looked around at everyone, and smiled: "I'll trouble you to protect me."

There is no doubt that Wei Mengrou's Heavenly Qi is a bit strange. She was exposed to the body of misfortune only after she refined the Heavenly Qi.

In other words, as long as the person who refined the Heavenly Qi is not Wei Mengrou, the body of misfortune will not be exposed.

At least it won't be exposed in the martial world... That's what Mu Zhian thought.

He took a deep breath and exhaled slowly.

Then, he sat cross-legged on the sword of the flying sword and tried to take the Heavenly Qi into his cauldron.

However, Mu Zhian obviously underestimated the difficulty of refining this Heavenly Qi.

When he was just outside, this black Heavenly Qi was very close to Mu Zhian, but when he really wanted to refine it into his body, it showed great repulsion and refused to accept refining no matter what.

Mu Zhian was not shaken, still closed his eyes, guided the spiritual energy, and tried to "drive" the Heavenly Qi into his cauldron.

At the same time, Lan Feiying, who was guarding outside, looked at this scene, and her eyes inadvertently fell on Wei Mengrou, and she said softly: "Miss Wei, don't you mind? This is the Heavenly Qi?"

Wei Mengrou just glanced at Mu Zhian and shook her head slowly.

"I have no interest in the Heavenly Qi. If he wants it, it's fine to give it to him. Besides..." Wei Mengrou paused, as if she wanted to say something.

"Besides?"

Wei Mengrou shook her head: "Forget it... It's okay."

Besides, the young master probably doesn't really want the Heavenly Qi.

The personal interface he just opened, as well as the description on the witch's body, are all very concerning...

Time passed silently.

After nearly a quarter of an hour, Ye Qian suddenly pointed to the air and said in surprise: "Sister Mengrou, look at that!"

Wei Mengrou raised her head slightly and her eyes suddenly froze.

I saw that in the air, the heavy lead-colored clouds slowly condensed at some point, and there seemed to be lightning flashing in the clouds.

Boom!

Along with a flash of lightning, it also illuminated Wei Mengrou's cold and beautiful face.

And in the clouds, a dark beam of light silently enveloped from the air, pointing directly at Wei Mengrou!

"What is that...?" Ye Lingxuan frowned slightly, looking at the black light column that seemed a little ominous, and her eyes could not help but have more doubts.

Bai Ruoxi also stared at the black light column, and after a brief gaze, she suddenly said in surprise: "The body of doom...?"

Lan Murian seemed to have noticed something, and looked up at the back of the dark light column.

A golden Dharma image appeared silently in people's sight.

Gu Boxing.

...

Mu Zhian slowly opened his eyes and took a long breath.

This black heavenly energy is much more difficult to refine than he thought. It was obviously very close to him when they were outside, but it turned out that the heavenly energy was very resistant to being refined by him.

Even at the end, Mu Zhian only barely suppressed the heavenly energy in the cauldron.

But if you want to refine it, it may take some time.

"Mr. Mu..." At this time, a soft voice with some hesitation suddenly came to my ear.

Mu Zhian turned his head slightly and looked over. It was the Saint of the World Sea. This beautiful lady in a blue dress had appeared here at some point and looked at him with a hesitant look.

Mu Zhian then realized that the few people who had just been protecting him were gone.

"What happened?" Mu Zhian asked.

Then, when he looked at the bumpy holes around him, he seemed to remember something, and a faint smile appeared on his face, and he said calmly:

"Has Gu Boxing been here?"

Tang Sufei looked at Mu Zhian in surprise, then nodded and said, "He wanted to take Miss Wei to the Dagan Dynasty. Miss Lan used a formation to isolate the outside world for you, and then went to stop him."

"But the power of faith of a dynasty, plus he is now suspected to be at the peak of returning to the void, so it may be difficult to stop..."

When she said this, looking at the silent Mu Zhian, Tang Sufei immediately comforted him: "After returning to the World Sea this time, I will explain this to the elders of the clan and ask them to ask for Miss Wei back."

However, after saying this, Mu Zhian still did not speak, but lowered his head, with a thoughtful look in his eyes.

It seems that he must refine the energy of the Heavenly Dao before Gu Boxing comes to the Martial Realm, and attract the "punishment of the Heavenly Dao" before Sister Meng Rou?

It was not because Wei Mengrou had refined the Heavenly Qi that Gu Boxing was attracted to her, but because Wei Mengrou was about to enter the Return to Void Realm, and after her strength became stronger, she attracted the attention of Heavenly Dao, so she attracted Gu Boxing!

Heavenly Qi is an opportunity for the body of misfortune to be exposed!

"Mr. Mu——"

Tang Sufei seemed to want to say something, but before the voice fell, Mu Zhian had already pressed the load option expressionlessly.

This time he underestimated the difficulty of refining the Heavenly Qi. Although Wei Mengrou's Heavenly Qi was close to him, she refused to be refined by him.

If he could refine this Heavenly Qi that seemed to symbolize ominousness earlier, he might be able to attract Gu Boxing's attention before Wei Mengrou.

...

After the sixth failure, Mu Zhian slowly exhaled. Even his mentality was somewhat affected at this moment.

The difficulty of refining this Heavenly Qi was much more difficult than he had imagined. Every time he finished refining the Heavenly Qi, Wei Mengrou's body of misfortune had already been exposed.

He needed a faster refining speed... to refine this Heavenly Qi within two incense sticks.

To do this, more skilled techniques were needed.

The thirteenth time, this time Mu Zhian's refining speed was much faster than before. After the Heavenly Qi was refined into his body, it refused to enter the cauldron.

But when it dodged to the left, Mu Zhian's spiritual energy had already blocked it there one step ahead, and when it dodged upwards, Mu Zhian had already controlled the spiritual energy to weave it into a net to intercept the Heavenly Qi.

As long as he could refine this Heavenly Qi before Wei Mengrou's body of misfortune was exposed, the person Gu Boxing would look for would not be Wei Mengrou, but him.

Because this Heavenly Qi itself symbolizes "unknown".

In this game, Mu Zhian is a chess piece, but not a discarded one.

As long as the ‘body of misfortune’ is him, he will be the winner.

And this time, it was the closest time for Mu Zhian to succeed.

Mu Zhian carefully and quickly guided the Heavenly Dao Qi into his cauldron. Mu Zhian seemed to have anticipated every surge and even movement of the Heavenly Dao Qi in advance.

He used his spiritual energy to block the direction of the Heavenly Dao Qi's escape one step ahead, allowing it to enter his cauldron as soon as possible.

And after nearly five minutes, he slowly opened his eyes, looked at the yellow-skirted maid in his field of vision, and finally breathed a sigh of relief.

It seems that this time he finally succeeded -

The thoughts in his mind suddenly stopped, because he saw that the black light column in the air had been covering Wei Mengrou since some time.

Then, a golden Dharma body also appeared in his field of vision.

He looked indifferently in the direction of Mu Zhian, his sight first froze slightly on Wei Mengrou for a moment, and then his eyes fell on Mu Zhian.

However, before he could speak, Mu Zhian smiled and said, "Friend Mu, I want to invite your maid to the Dagan Dynasty. What do you think... Is that what you want to ask me?"

Gu Boxing's eyes flickered slightly, with a hint of surprise in his eyes.

Mind reading...?

How could it be possible... How could a cultivator in the Refining Spirit Realm know his thoughts?

"How did you know?" He asked slowly.

Mu Zhian did not answer, but looked at the lofty golden statue and showed a warm smile like the sun.

Then, he gently tapped on the load option.

…

For the seventeenth time, this time Mu Zhian and the Heavenly Qi started a ‘death struggle’. The Heavenly Qi flashed to the left, and Mu Zhian’s spiritual energy intercepted it half a second in advance. Then the Heavenly Qi wanted to run up and out of its body, but Mu Zhian’s spiritual energy had already been waiting above.

Every step was perfectly anticipated. Compared with the previous dozen times, Mu Zhian did not waste any time this time.

In the end, the Heavenly Qi seemed to surrender and slowly entered Mu Zhian’s body.

Lan Mulian, who was not far away, obviously also noticed this scene. There was a little more surprise in his eyes, and he whispered: “How can his Heavenly Qi be refined so quickly…?”

It has only been less than an incense stick of time since Mu Zhian refined the Heavenly Qi.

Even if it was her, it would be impossible to refine the Heavenly Qi in such a short time, not to mention that the Heavenly Qi did not resist at all from beginning to end.

Not only Lan Murian, but the eyes of several others also fell on the young man sitting cross-legged, and everyone's eyes were more or less surprised.

At this time, Wei Mengrou suddenly seemed to have sensed something, and her eyes subconsciously looked up into the air.

Boom!

A deep black beam of light shrouded quietly.

Lan Feiying's eyes changed slightly, and she whispered to herself: "The body of doom...?"

Oops, if people from the Daqian Dynasty find out about the Body of Doom, Miss Wei might...

The black beam of light slowly moved in the direction of Wei Mengrou. The monks not far away looked at this scene with a bit of shock in their eyes.

The body of misfortune is said to be a body that will affect the destiny of the entire dynasty, and such a body is actually among these people?

At this moment, countless eyes were staring at the black beam of light. Everyone had some doubts in their eyes, curious about who was the body of doom recorded in the ancient books.

Wei Mengrou seemed to have realized something. She looked at the punishment from Heaven, and then glanced at the people around her, as well as Mu Zhian who was refining the energy of Heaven in the distance.

"Take care of him," she whispered.

Then, he took a step forward.

This bad luck was for her alone, but if there were other people around her, it might have affected them.

At this moment, Wei Mengrou planned to bear this 'heavenly punishment' herself.

"Sister Mengrou!" Ye Qian stepped forward anxiously to pull Wei Mengrou back, but Wei Mengrou raised her hand to seal the secret, and a sword fell straight from mid-air, stopping Ye Qian's steps.

The Body of Doom is a punishment from Heaven. As for the reason for the punishment, it is because her existence threatens Heaven.

No one else can help her.

Wei Mengrou raised her head and stared at the black beam of light in mid-air, which was shining in her direction like black sunlight.

She slowly closed her eyes and felt the black beam of light falling on her body.

The bad luck on his body seemed to have condensed into a solid substance, and the black light was terrifyingly deep.

However, after less than a few seconds, the black brilliance slowly disappeared.

Wei Mengrou slowly opened her eyes, with a bit of surprise in her eyes.

No...it's not that it disappeared, but that the light moved away from me? !

When this thought flashed through Wei Mengrou's mind, an unprecedented dark light suddenly erupted not far behind her!

The pitch-black light soared into the sky, forming a black beam of light that seemed to run through the sky and the earth!

Wei Mengrou suddenly turned her head to look, her eyes slowly widening.

This is the area where Mu Zhian previously refined the Qi of Heaven!

The punishment of that day actually fell on Mu Zhian!

Everyone was stunned for a moment.

Even the girls around Mu Zhian couldn't help but be stunned.

They have always believed that Wei Mengrou was the body of misfortune.

But now...the divine punishment caused by the body of misfortune has actually come to Mu Zhian?

Before everyone could recover, a golden light quietly lit up in the martial world, forming a huge golden statue.

Ye Lingxuan seemed to realize something and said urgently: "Brother Mu, go to other areas quickly!"

Mu Zhian slowly opened his eyes and looked down at his hands, the heavenly energy floating in his palms, and the black radiance on his body at this moment.

"No need, he's already here." He didn't look up, just whispered to himself.

In mid-air, a golden dharma body quietly appeared in everyone's sight.

He was dressed in a green robe, his body almost occupied most of the area, and his eyes were majestic and indifferent.

"Body of Doom, come with me."

Gu Boxing raised his huge mountain-like palm and grabbed it in the direction of Mu Zhian.

Wei Mengrou reacted immediately, stepped on the sole of her foot, and rushed towards Mu Zhian's direction. The sword light behind her flashed past and slashed towards the big hand.

Gu Boxing raised his hand and waved, and a golden formation quietly covered the area. Before Wei Mengrou could even reach Mu Zhian's side, she was isolated by the weird formation a hundred feet away.

The golden lightsaber behind Bai Ruoxi was drawn out, but the formation was extremely weird. The formation set up by the Void Return Peak seemed to be beyond the realm of God Refining to break through.

Whoosh!

Ye Lingxuan's Lock of Desolate Time broke through the formation, and the lock headed violently in the direction of Mu Zhian!

However, at this time, the golden statue glanced slightly, snorted, and a barrier came out of thin air, blocking the Lock of Desolate Time.

"Gu Boxing, have you considered the consequences?" Ye Lingxuan's eyes became even colder, but the formation was formed by condensing the power of the dynasty's faith and could not be broken without a god of refinement.

Gu Boxing sighed softly and said: "I am also thinking about Dongzhou. If the Daqian Dynasty is destroyed due to the body of misfortune, once the demon world invades, Dongzhou without the blessing of national destiny will probably be taken advantage of by the demon world."

"I think Little Friend Mu should also be able to understand me."

His eyes fell gently on Mu Zhian.

Then, he suddenly froze for a moment.

It stands to reason that when you discover that you are a body of misfortune, or even trapped by someone using a formation, the other party will either be frightened or frightened...

But Mu Zhian was smiling.

There was a hint of surprise in Gu Boxing's eyes, and he felt that something was not right.

Pretending to be a ghost... Gu Boxing had a hint of chill in his eyes, and he stretched out his big hand like a mountain in the direction of Mu Zhian.

The sword light behind Wei Mengrou lit up and continued to blast towards the barrier of the formation. However, no matter how he attacks, the formation remains motionless.

"It's useless. Even if you are at the peak of Return to Void, you can't break this formation." Gu Boxing's gentle voice sounded in everyone's ears.

His eyes fell on Mu Zhian.

"Do you have anything to say?"

Mu Zhian played with the Heavenly Qi in his hand that exuded an "ominous" aura, raised his head and smiled: "No."

For some reason, such a calm smile made Gu Boxing feel something was wrong and inexplicably angry.

A cultivator in the Refining Spirit Realm could still show such a smile in the face of such a situation?

He stared at Mu Zhian for a long time, and said faintly: "Then come with me to the Dagan Dynasty."

In the formation, Wei Mengrou's sword hit the formation fiercely, but the formation formed by the peak of Return to Void and the power of faith remained motionless.

Ye Lingxuan's eyes were filled with coldness: "Gu Boxing——"

However, Gu Boxing ignored it, and everyone could only watch the big hand slowly reaching towards Mu Zhian.

Boom!

Just when the big hand was about to grab Mu Zhian, a thousand-foot crack suddenly appeared in the martial world.

A harsh buzzing sound rang in people's ears, making people's eardrums almost burst.

Gu Boxing's movements froze slightly, his face changed slightly, and he turned his head suddenly: "Who?!"

The clouds in the sky trembled violently, and a huge palm stretched out from the thousand-foot crack and slapped the golden magic circle. Then, under countless horrified eyes, the formation was crushed into pieces!

The strange black fog silently permeated the area, and then a soft and pleasant voice sounded softly in everyone's ears.

"After the Dagan Dynasty's national fortune disappears, the demon world will invade Dongzhou in large numbers... Who told you this?"

"I have been in the demon world for so long, how come I have never heard of this?"
