Chapter 943 Conspiracy
"What do you need this golden dragon marrow for?"
Zhao Mu looked at Xia Ruoxi seriously. Golden Dragon Marrow is an extremely precious substance, and at most, only about ten drops can be produced at a time. Xia Ningzhi was right; it would be quite good if she could get three drops.
But Xia Ruoxi asked for three drops right away, so it's no wonder Xia Ningzhi was so angry.
In a sense, this was almost equivalent to the Ninth Princess's dowry.
The value of golden dragon marrow surpasses even that of ancient stalactites; every drop is priceless.
"I need Golden Dragon Marrow to break through to the Yin-Yang Realm, Senior Brother Zhao. I really need three drops of Golden Dragon Marrow. Don't worry, I will definitely offer something that will satisfy you in the trade."
Seeing Xia Ruoxi's solemn expression, Zhao Mu knew that this time the "green tea b*tch" was serious and not just teasing the Ninth Princess.
"Okay, I'll find a way!"
Zhao Mu agreed without hesitation. The green tea girl becoming stronger would be beneficial to him, since the two of them had long been secretly planning to open their own sect and redefine the righteous and demonic paths.
Although Xia Ningzhi was unwilling, with outsiders present, she chose to remain silent, giving Zhao Mu enough face.
"And the second thing?"
Zhao Mu asked.
He had a gut feeling that the second thing was the real reason why Xia Ruoxi risked breaking into the Ninth Princess's palace.
"Xu Shenghao has also come to the capital of the Great Xia Dynasty. Of course, his target is not the Golden Dragon Marrow, but an ancient ruin three thousand miles west of the capital."
“I feel that this person is becoming more and more dangerous, and he is becoming more and more entangled with me in the sect. He even asked the Grand Elder to act as a matchmaker several times. The sect leader asked me about it a few times, but I refused each time.”
"But I feel that the sect leader wants to bring the two of us together."
"Senior Brother Zhao, you should know what kind of person Xu Shenghao is. You can't just stand by and watch me fall into the sea of fire!"
"If we seize this rare opportunity, we can definitely wipe out Xu Shenghao in one fell swoop."
“Ninth Princess, you don’t need to look at me like that. Xu Shenghao is not only a problem for me, but also Senior Brother Zhao’s mortal enemy.”
"Back then, if it weren't for Xu Shenghao, Senior Brother Zhao and Senior Sister Yan would never have ended up in that situation, risking their lives to jump into the Blood Abyss to survive."
"Over the years, Senior Brother Zhao and I have actually discussed this many times, but Xu Shenghao is too cautious, and it is really difficult to find an opportunity to make a move."
"This is an opportunity that comes only once in a lifetime."
“That ancient ruin seems to be very important to him; this time, he came here alone.”
"Senior Brother Zhao, this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity!"
Xia Ruoxi's anxiety at this moment was not feigned, but genuine, because she regarded Xu Shenghao as a major threat. This guy, whose talent was not outstanding, had now reached the Great Perfection of the Four Extremes Realm, and his strength was unfathomable, which was simply unbelievable.
This is even more impressive than some of his peers from top-tier forces.
Xia Ningzhi glanced at Zhao Mu.
She met Zhao Mu during the initiation ceremony of Hunyuan Taiqing Palace, on the Heavenly Ladder, and knew nothing about his past.
Now, upon hearing this, it seems that the hardships he endured in the Xuantian Dao Sect were beyond the comprehension of ordinary people.
Blood Abyss.
She knew this place; it was the site of the Xuan Tian Dao Sect, the number one sect of the righteous path, during the great war between the righteous and demonic paths tens of thousands of years ago. Too many lives were lost back then, resulting in a dense aura of malevolence that no one dared to enter.
Zhao Mu and Yan Bingqing even had the experience of surviving from inside.
How much suffering they endured back then!
"This guy really needs to be killed as soon as possible!"
Hearing that somewhat unfamiliar name again, Zhao Mu recalled that he had once attempted to assassinate Xu Shenghao, but...
That was just a scapegoat for him.
Since then, I've never had the chance to get my hands on that bastard again.
Unexpectedly, he has grown to the point that even Xia Ruoxi is wary of him. Perhaps Xu Shenghao is the one who benefits the most from his appearance.
Because, in the original storyline, this guy was just a minor cannon fodder character.
"By the way, what's the current situation of the Xuantian Dao Sect?"
When Xu Shenghao was mentioned, Zhao Mu naturally thought of this deeply hidden sect.
“Something is very wrong. In just three years, the Xuantian Dao Sect has become the leader of Daozhou. The sect leader of Yuanmen once came to visit us personally, and his attitude was like that of a subordinate who had already submitted.”
"But I don't know much more. The sect leader rarely mentions this to me."
"I have a feeling that the old man is wary of me."
"For the past three years, I have tried my best not to go back to the Xuantian Dao Sect. I have been wandering around outside under the guise of doing missions."
Xia Ruoxi's words made Zhao Mu frown slightly.
It seems that even though the main female lead's storyline has been influenced and changed by him, the Xuantian Dao Sect is still developing along its original trajectory. However, compared to the original storyline, the current development of the Xuantian Dao Sect is even more outrageous, as if it has swallowed up the main female lead's fortune.
Judging from this posture, it's clear they're aiming to restore the Xuantian Dao Sect to its former status.
The foremost sect of the righteous path.
That......
The Demon-Slaying Sword fragments have probably been collected quite a few by now!
So many years have passed, and Zhao Mu hasn't encountered any fragments of the Demon-Slaying Sword for a long time.
"What are you planning to do?"
Having finally gotten a chance to kill Xu Shenghao, Zhao Mu naturally wouldn't let it go.
"He entered that ancient ruin seven days ago. According to my calculations, he should be able to come out in no more than ten days. So we set up an ambush outside the ancient ruin."
"If we work together, it shouldn't be too difficult to kill this guy."
In other words, there are only two days left.
No wonder Xia Ruoxi risked breaking into the Great Xia Imperial Palace to find someone.
"I'll go as well."
Xia Ningzhi volunteered to join, since Zhao Mu's enemy was also her enemy. "I can find someone to help me."
"no!"
Upon hearing this, Xia Ruoxi refused without hesitation, "Xu Shenghao is a very strange person. If we want to ambush him, we shouldn't have too many people, especially don't think about having experts directly kill him. It's almost impossible. It's safest for Zhao Mu and me to go."
I don't know how much luck this guy has gained, but most people who want to ambush him always manage to escape unscathed.
But she is different from Zhao Mu.
Both she and Zhao Mu had successfully carried out ambushes, but unfortunately, they were merely scapegoats for Xu Shenghao.
But this time was different. Xia Ruoxi had confirmed it repeatedly and was 100% certain that the one inside the ancient ruins was Xu Shenghao's true form, and she had also found a solution to his strange secret technique.
"what is this?"
"Break his strange and mysterious soul magic. As long as we kill him, he will never be able to come back to life."
"Let me see!"
Zhao Mu took the jade slip, concentrated on reading it, and after carefully examining it, he found that it was not difficult to use. He only needed a few breaths to grasp the key points.
"Are you ready?"
"Ok!"
"Then this crucial move depends on you. We must act immediately without delay."
"Sneak away?"
"Well, it's best not to alert anyone. Just pretend you're still in your palace, messing around with the Ninth Princess."
Xia Ningzhi: "......"
