C186 The Cicada Has Shed Its Shell
The next day.
After a night of dormancy, the Black Scale Mercenary Group was finally ready to set off. They were led by Mu Lin and the other three deputy commanders. A group of more than thirty people departed from the Black Scale Mercenary Group in a grandiose manner. Under the gazes of everyone in the Black Sand Castle, they walked out of the castle.
The leader of the group, Mu Lin, was dressed in the same black robe as the members of the Black Scale Mercenary Group behind him. The former had a cold expression on his face. Under the black robe, his fingers gently caressed the Storage Ring he was wearing. It contained the fire element Heavenly Cores that he had bought yesterday. The other four Black Sand Castles were in the hands of the Black Sand Castle's Lord, the Liu Family's Lord, and the actual owner of the auction hall.
While Mu Lin and the others were walking out of the castle, inside Black Sand Castle. . . There were also many strong men with ulterior motives who quietly followed behind them. They were trying to get a share of the profits when the Black Scale Mercenary Group used all their strength to fight the Emperor Cultivation Heavenly Beast.
"Has it started?"
Xiao Yan, who was resting in a hotel with his eyes closed, had an idea. The Monarch Flame in his body had a slight change. Under his sharp senses, the flame mark that was marked on the Fire Heavenly Core had a slight change.
Sensing Mu Lin's actions, Xiao Yan laughed lightly. With a calm expression, he walked out of the hotel and quietly followed after him.
Lau Family.
In a luxurious hall, a middle-aged man who was sipping tea heard the servant's report and nodded expressionlessly. He pondered for a moment and said, "Go and call Second Brother over. Tell him that I have something to talk to him about. "
After the servant withdrew, the teacup in the middle-aged man's hand shattered with a loud bang. The boiling hot tea that had yet to land on his clothes had already turned into steam and dissipated. The heaviness in his eyes instantly turned into excitement. His finger repeatedly rubbed the Storage Ring that he was wearing. His expression was also not as calm as before.
"Big brother, Mu Lin has set off!"
Not long later, the second brother of the Lau Family, Liu Feng, walked in with a joyful expression. Looking at his face, it was the middle aged man who had represented the Lau Family in the auction hall.
Lau Zhen nodded his head solemnly. His five fingers, which were wearing the Storage Ring, slowly clenched. A soul-stirring light suddenly burst out from his eyes. The corner of his mouth drew a ferocious arc as he said, "Let's go!"
Mu Lin walked at the front of the group. His eyes swept behind him without leaving a trace. Not far behind him were a few people who seemed to have walked out of the fortress unintentionally. In some hidden places, it was unknown how many people were following them.
Mu Lin coldly harrumphed, but his pace was still neither fast nor slow, as if he was trying to lure all the people of Black Sand Castle out.
On the other side, when Xiao Yan arrived at a corner not far from the Black Scale Mercenary Group, he bumped into all the people from the Black Scale Mercenary Group who had gone out to hunt Emperor Cultivation Emperor Cultivations.
Xiao Yan frowned slightly. He carefully looked at the leader, Mu Lin. Although his behavior was similar to Mu Lin's, Xiao Yan could not feel the fluctuation of the Monarch Flame in his body. In other words, Mu Lin did not have any Fire Heavenly Core on him.
Mu Lin and the others walked further and further away. Xiao Yan wasn't sure if he should follow them or not. Logically speaking, as an important item to open the Emperor Cultivation treasure, Mu Lin wouldn't be at ease handing it over to anyone. Furthermore, Xiao Yan was confident that Mu Lin wouldn't discover the trace of fire seed left on the Heavenly Core.
Just as Xiao Yan was hesitating, two black shadows suddenly flashed in front of the Black Scale Mercenary Group. Looking at the empty street, two black shadows quickly flashed and rushed towards the other side of the Black Sand Castle.
The moment the black shadows appeared, Xiao Yan immediately felt a restless feeling from the Monarch Flame in his body. As the two black shadows left, the fluctuation of the Monarch Flame in his body also trembled.
"What a good move, Golden Cicada Shedding Shell!"
Xiao Yan was instantly delighted. All his doubts were easily solved. One of the two black shadows was the real Mu Lin. The group of people just now was just trying to lure all those who had ill intentions towards the Black Scale Mercenary Group.
Xiao Yan laughed softly. The Monarch Flame slowly covered the surface of his body, completely concealing his aura. After which, his body moved and caught up with the two black figures from afar.
Most of the people walking in Black Sand Castle were wearing black robes. Therefore, Mu Lin and his companion's attire did not attract anyone's attention. They swaggered out of the south gate. Xiao Yan, who was not far away, naturally had no scruples. Intentionally or unintentionally, he followed Mu Lin and his companion and swaggered out as well.
After leaving the Black Sand Castle, it was a vast plain that could not be seen. At the end of the line of sight, there were endless mountain ranges that extended like a huge dragon, bringing about a shocking visual effect. On the plain, there were jagged rocks. Huge rocks that were as tall as a person were scattered all over the plain, making it perfect for Xiao Yan to hide.
With the sensing of the Monarch Flame, Xiao Yan was not afraid of losing Mu Lin. After leaving Black Sand Castle, Xiao Yan deliberately maintained a distance from Mu Lin. With the cover of the huge rocks, even Mu Lin, who had been observing the surroundings, did not discover Xiao Yan.
On the plain, the wind was howling from time to time. The sandstorm was blowing against their faces, making it very easy for them to lose their direction. After following Mu Lin for an unknown number of times, a few figures were standing beside a sand dune that was covered in huge rocks.
When Mu Lin saw these people, he ripped off his black robe. The black-robed man beside him also took off his black robe, revealing his true appearance. He was the third leader of Black Scale Mercenary Group, and his strength had also reached the Peak Of Monarch King.
Xiao Yan saw them from afar, but he didn't dare to act rashly. After all, they had five Monarch Emperor Level Expert. If they were discovered, they could only flee in a sorry state.
"Captain Mu, you came a little late. "
The Liu Family's Patriarch, Lau Zhen, wore a white brocade robe and had white sideburns. He looked at Mu Lin, who had arrived late, and said with a strange smile.2
"Stop farting. How many people in Black Sand Castle are staring at the wind released by the black scales this time? If you don't divert their attention, will you be able to come out smoothly?"
Mu Lin walked forward and looked coldly at Lau Zhen. He said in an unpleasant tone. If it wasn't for the Emperor Cultivation treasure, he wouldn't have cooperated with this old thing no matter what.
"Captain Mu is right. In terms of contribution, Captain Mu is the one who contributed the most. "
A fat old man with a smile on his face interrupted the two men who were arguing with each other, and cupped his hands toward Mu Lin with a smile on his face.
"Mu Lin, when you came here, no one followed you, right?"
A dignified middle-aged man wearing a silver robe standing next to Lau Zhen suddenly spoke. In his voice, Kill!
Mu Lin looked at the middle-aged man and lightly said: "Don't worry, Castle Lord Su, I've been observing the whole way and no one has been following me"
The silver-robed middle-aged man nodded and then looked at the burly man beside him and said: "We can't be careless about this matter. Brother Chen, take out that thing of yours and examine it. "
The burly man was the Monarch Emperor Level Expert that they had invited from other places. He could be considered an old acquaintance of the few people here, and could be considered a person that they could trust together. Otherwise, people would not know what was inside their hearts. These old foxes would definitely not agree to find a fellow with unknown backgrounds to help them.
Chen Rong smiled and nodded. With a flip of his palm, a crystal clear and translucent pearl appeared in his hand. After transmitting some Origin Monarch Qis into it, some white fog slowly appeared on the pearl.
"Brother Chen's Breath Exploring Pearl has an effect on detecting the surrounding Qi fluctuations. But it's extremely good. Regardless of whether there are people or beasts around, we can detect them. "
The silver-robed middle-aged man smiled as he looked at Mu Lin and slowly said.
When Mu Lin heard this, he frowned and didn't say anything. This old thing spoke with such an imposing manner. Wasn't it just to check if he had secretly brought someone here? Looking at the surrounding people, everyone was expressionless. It seemed that Su Chang had used the same excuse to test them when they had just arrived.
Xiao Yan was hiding in the distance. The Monarch Flame was gathered in his eyes. Although he was very far away, he could still see their movements. When Chen Rong took out a bead, Xiao Yan's heart trembled instinctively. His soul energy involuntarily surged out from between his eyebrows and wrapped around his entire body. His soul energy and the Monarch Flame were a double protection, covering up his Qi.
He saw that the white fog in the bead did not dissipate for a long time. Su Chang laughed loudly, and his expression became much friendlier. His eyes swept across Mu Lin, Lau Zhen, and the fat old man. He said, "Alright. Everyone, take out the Heavenly Cores in your hands. Prepare to open the treasure of Emperor Cultivation warriors. "
