Qin Mu turned his head around and was stunned when he saw Wei Yong. A smile bloomed on his face and he waved his hand. ”So it's Brother Wei and Duke Wei. Why are you standing outside? Come in quickly.”

Wei Yong immediately made eyes at him and said, ”Come out quickly, I have something to tell you! Come over here, something huge has happened at Imperial College!”

He was worried about Qin Mu's safety, so he had to pull him out of the pit. He thought to himself, ”Brother Qin must have come to take a walk, not knowing that this is the place where Heavenly Devil Cult is seeking its revenge, so he went in mistakenly. How dangerous is this? These fiends of Heavenly Devil Cult even dared to kill a first ranking high official like Sun Nantuo, who was a cult master level existence, in an instant. I'm afraid that even the bone marrow would be squeezed out from that small body of Brother Qin!”

Duke Wei looked at the two elders blocking his path of retreat and a vein popped out on his forehead while the corners of his eyes twitched. ”Wei Yong, this scoundrel, he's even more of a troublemaker than me! I'm afraid I can't leave now even if I wanted to!”

Qin Mu raised his hand, and the old woman behind Duke Wei immediately went forward. Qin Mu tilted his head and said a thing or two to her.

That old woman returned with a grin. ”Duke Wei, little brother from the Wei Family, please take a seat inside.”

The corners of Duke Wei's eyes twitched, and he took a long look at Qin Mu before taking in a deep breath. ”Let us go in.”

As the two people went into the village, they could see that this place was only built recently. Everything was new, and there was even the fragrance of wood in the air.

Duke Wei and Wei Yong saw Qin Mu walking farther into the village and braced themselves to follow him. Duke Wei asked in a low voice, ”Yong'er, how's your relationship with Little Brother Qin Mu?”

”We have been through life and death together!” He then added respectfully, ”He was the one who saved me when the scholars' ship got attacked by Dragon Rider Sect!”

Duke Wei started to get a headache. ”Then did you save him?”

Wei Yong shook his head.

”He saved you yet you didn't save him in turn, so what's this having been through life and death together!”

Duke Wei's heart was anxious. ”I can only take thing step by step now. I can consider myself having been sabotaged by this little scoundrel. I don't know if my few meetings with Li Tianxing would be of any use…”

They came to the center of the village where there was a stage. It was only a foot above the ground and was constructed of wood.

The stage wasn't huge, about ten yards wide.

Most of the Heavenly Devil Cult's followers sat below the stage, and the old woman beside Duke Wei chuckled. ”Duke, little brother from the Wei Family, just take a seat. Don't worry, we've just mopped the floor, it's very clean.

Wei Yong lowered his head to have a look and saw some dark red bloodstains. After noticing this, he couldn't stop himself from muttering under his breath, ”I wonder if they cleaned up properly, or if there's still a human head or two lying around…”

Heavenly Devil Cult had eliminated Nantuo Side Palace as well as Sun Nantuo in an instant, which showed how absurd their strength was. Even Duke Wei who had experienced hundreds of battles didn't dare to be reckless and thought to himself, ”Even though Heavenly Devil Cult has such a great fanfare here, the strong practitioners in the capital will definitely not be alarmed. Their actions were too quick back then, and I reckon they could kill us equally fast right now too…”

Under the stage, several hundred people sat in silence, waiting for the teachings of the sacred teacher.

Wei Yong looked around and saw Qin Mu. He immediately waved his hand at him excitedly. ”Brother Qin, Brother Qin! Over here!”

Duke Wei wanted more than anything to press this little fatty down on the ground and stuff a few stinky socks into his mouth so that he would stop blabbering.

Luckily, the followers of Heavenly Devil Cult didn't seem to hear Wei Yong's blabber and remained sitting upright.

Qin Mu smiled at Wei Yong and walked up the stage.

Wei Yong jumped in shock and hurriedly said in a hoarse whisper, ”Don't go up the stage, don't go up. That's where their sacred teacher gives his teachings…”

Duke Wei looked at him fiercely and scolded, ”Rascal, keep your mouth shut!”

Wei Yong immediately shut up. Duke Wei said angrily, ”Don't you see how tight-lipped I am? How did I have such a blabbermouth of a descendant like you? Haven't you realized it yet?”

Wei Yong was stunned. When Qin Mu walked up the stage and turned around, all the followers of Heavenly Devil Cult stood up and bowed. ”Cult master sacred teacher!”

Qin Mu nodded and said, ”Everyone, dispense with the formalities, sit.”

Everyone sat down.

Wei Yong's mouth was agape, and there was a stupefied look in his eyes. He didn't regain his sense for quite some time.

Duke Wei sighed and muttered, ”I long knew that there was a problem with that Pangong Tso. His Grand Shaman Ruda Scriptures was a little different. From the looks of it now, it was most likely the cult master sacred teacher of Heavenly Devil Cult making his move personally. Heavenly Devil Cult actually chose a youth as their cult master, they really have guts…”

On the stage, Qin Mu also sat down and said, ”Who here know spells regarding searching the soul?”

A woman stood up and bowed. ”Sacred teacher, I have some attainments.”

Qin Mu nodded. He suddenly executed Soul Guide and a sinister looking gate appeared behind his back. Black fog poured out of the gate, and even the light from the kerosene in the iron woks died down.

At this moment, everyone saw Sun Nantuo standing in the sinister darkness along with the rest of the monks.

Qin Mu said, ”Hall Master, I want to know who are the accomplices of Sun Nantuo that had allied with him to harm our two heavenly kings.”

”Understood.”

The female hall master went forward and took out a shining mirror. She executed her secret art and shone the light towards Sun Nantuo.

This mirror ray shone on the monk's soul, penetrating it and landing on the air behind him. All kinds of pictures appeared, which were the memories of Sun Nantuo of when he was still alive. The pictures fleeted by rapidly and continued to go back in time. Soon, they reached the memory of when they had ambushed Heavenly King Lu.
