C845 Zhuge Yun
In response to Gongyang Chi and Dīpankara Buddha's words, there was no movement from the bushes.
Gongyang Chi couldn't help but frown. After what happened to Patriarch Nether River, he didn't want to wait any longer. He struck out his palm towards the spot where he found something was wrong.
"Don't, don't attack!"
As Gongyang Chi attacked, a figure jumped up from the bushes and rushed to Lin Xiao. He shouted, "Mr Lin, don't attack! We are on the same side!"
"Wait a minute."
Hearing the voice of the figure, Lin Xiao stretched out his hand to stop Gongyang Chi.
Lin Xiao was familiar with this voice. He was sure that it was someone he knew. Although he could not recall who it was, he still stopped Gongyang Chi.
When this figure arrived in front of him, a trace of surprise flashed across Lin Xiao's eyes.
This figure was none other than his old friend, Zhuge Yun.
Back then, Lin Xiao and Zhuge Yun could be considered old friends. Unfortunately, after the war started, the two of them had never met again. When the Asura Cult attacked the Treasure Pavilion, Lin Xiao had even looked for Zhuge Yun, but there was no news from him. Lin Xiao had no choice but to give up. He had never thought that he would meet Zhuge Yun here.
This was the Infinity Island!
Even Lin Xiao had spent a lot of time and effort to arrive at the Infinity Island under Hei Zi's lead. Zhuge Yun was only a Major Golden Immortal, how did he come to the Infinity Island all by himself?
Lin Xiao's heart was filled with doubt. He sized Zhuge Yun up and down before saying, "Mr Zhuge? Is it really you?"
"It's me, Mr Lin."
Zhuge Yun revealed a bitter smile and nodded.
To be honest, Zhuge Yun was very surprised to see Lin Xiao here.
Just now, their Murong family was completely annihilated by Yu Pingchang and Zhou Yuan. He wanted to seek help from Lin Xiao to seek revenge, but in his opinion, Lin Xiao should still be in Central Prefecture, and should not be here!
Hearing Zhuge Yun's words, Lin Xiao hesitated for a moment, but still asked slowly, "Mr Zhuge, what happened? Why are you here?"
Lin Xiao had a good impression of Zhuge Yun. After all, when he was not strong enough, Zhuge Yun had helped him a lot. The two of them could be considered old friends. Although he wanted to pull Zhuge Yun to his side but was rejected by Zhuge Yun, it did not affect their friendship.
Therefore, Lin Xiao walked towards Zhuge Yun without a care. Gongyang Chi reminded him when he saw Lin Xiao's actions, "Sect Master Lin, this is a critical period. You have to be careful!"
"Don't worry, it's fine."
Lin Xiao shook his head lightly and walked to Zhuge Yun's side. He reached out and pulled him over. He said, "Mr Zhuge is my old friend. There will be no problem."
"Mr Lin, I..."
Zhuge Yun had mixed feelings when he heard what Lin Xiao said.
He did not expect Lin Xiao to trust him so unconditionally at such a critical moment, but he had hidden a lot of things from Lin Xiao in the past.
Thinking of this, Zhuge Yun felt a little guilty in his heart.
Seeing the unusual expression on Zhuge Yun's face, Lin Xiao patted his shoulder and said with a smile, "Mr Zhuge, it's fine. If there's anything, just tell me."
"Alright."
After hesitating for a moment, Zhuge Yun said, "What is it?" Mr Lin, I am sorry. I have been hiding my true identity from you. Actually, I'm not from the Treasure Pavilion, and I'm not called Zhuge Yun. My real name is Murong Di, the son of the current patriarch and Murong Ke of the Murong family. The reason I appeared in the Treasure Pavilion was because of my father's order. "
Lin Xiao's trust in Zhuge Yun made Zhuge Yun feel embarrassed to hide his true identity from Lin Xiao.
"This..."1
It had to be said that Lin Xiao was very surprised to hear this answer.
Although he was surprised, his true identity had made him understand many things that he had never thought of before.
He furrowed his brows and looked at Zhuge Yun's miserable appearance. He couldn't help but ask, "You are the Young Lord of Murong family. How can you be in such a sorry state? Did something happen just now?"
"It's a long story!"
Zhuge Yun didn't answer him directly. He glanced at Lin Xiao, then at Gongyang Chi and Hei Zi. He shook his head slightly.
Although Zhuge Yun didn't say it directly, Lin Xiao could tell from his eyes that Zhuge Yun was asking whether he could say it in front of Gongyang Chi and Hei Zi.
Hei Zi was one of Zhou Yuan's men, and Lin Xiao didn't completely trust Gongyang Chi after Poison Lord's reminder. Therefore, Lin Xiao gave Zhuge Yun a look and said at the same time, "Judging from Mr Zhuge's look, he must have suffered a lot of shock just now. Why don't we take a rest first? We can talk about other things later."
"Okay. Thank you, Mr Lin."
Zhuge Yun quickly understood what Lin Xiao meant. He deliberately showed a weak expression and looked like he could not take it anymore. He said, "I really need to rest."
"En, there are three pills here. Take it and rest first."
Lin Xiao also nodded. He took out three immortal level pills to recover and gave them to Zhuge Yun. He continued, "We will rest at the side for a while before continuing our journey."
Although Poison Lord's matter was urgent, Lin Xiao needed an opportunity to ask Zhuge Yun what had happened. Therefore, resting for a while did not affect the progress.
"Thank you."
Zhuge Yun took the pill very cooperatively. He walked to a nearby tree and sat down. He began to adjust his breathing. Lin Xiao also sat beside him. Gongyang Chi and Hei Zi sat not far away.
They leaned against the tree trunk. Lin Xiao asked with a voice transmission, "Mr Zhuge, what happened?"
"Our Murong family... was annihilated! Our Murong family was originally the master of Infinity Island. This time, our father brought us to Infinity Island to increase our strength in the spiritual spring in our ancestral land. I never thought that the people of Artifacts Sect would do something to our spiritual spring, causing us to be poisoned. This is bad for their plot! "
Zhuge Yun's voice sounded bitter and painful. He said to Lin Xiao via divine sense, "My father and my family members have been controlled by the evil creature of the Artifacts Sect, Yu Pingchang. All the blood essences in my body have been sucked dry. Because I didn't absorb the energy of the Energy Spring Water, I was able to escape this disaster! "
"What?!"
Upon hearing these words, Lin Xiao was also very surprised.
It turned out that the Murong family was the master of the Infinity Island mentioned by Indestructible Demonic Sword, and the people of the Artifacts Sect had actually done something to the Energy Spring Water, eliminating the Murong family!
Fortunately, they didn't go to the ancestral land. Otherwise, they would have fallen into the trap as well.
It seemed like he had suddenly vomited blood because Murong Niu had died in the hands of Yu Pingchang's evil creature, and not because the Elder had been exposed.
