Chapter 399 Yao Yun Apologizes
Chapter 399 Yao Yun Apologizes
Zhao Mu sensed Yao Yun's vigilant gaze and felt helpless in his heart.
Who would have thought that they would meet so coincidentally?
If he had known earlier, he would have changed his appearance more thoroughly when he used the Myriad Transformation Technique. He shouldn't have kept a shadow of his original appearance.
It was inevitable that Yao Yun would be suspicious of him.
However, Zhao Mu's mentality was still very calm.
So what if his identity was exposed?
Hua Ling's favorability towards him had already reached 95. Furthermore, Zhao Mu didn't use any tactics on her. At the very least, if he made a move, it would only take a day or two for her favorability to be maxed out.
At that time, even if Yao Yun exposed Zhao Mu's identity, it would be of no use. It wouldn't change Hua Ling's mind at all.
Taking a step back, even if Yao Yun really made Hua Ling stay away from Zhao Mu, it wouldn't be a loss to Zhao Mu.
After all, he didn't do anything.
"Hua Ling, how's your current progress? Did you find any clues?" Yao Yun inquired.
Hua Ling shook her head.
"We've already dug three feet into the ground, but we still haven't found any clues. It's the same for the other teams of Yao cultivators."
"This is related to the prestige of the Yao Clan. Master ordered me to seize the time to open up the Paradise and turn this dangerous land into a treasure. It's a pity that the Sect Master of the Devil Sect, Zhao Mu, is too shameless. Hmph, I don't believe that the Yao Clan can't succeed without his help."
Yao Yun said with resentment. As he spoke, he didn't forget to glance at Zhao Mu to observe the changes in his expression.
Zhao Mu didn't avoid it and bluntly said, "Although I haven't seen Zhao Mu in person, I've heard of some of his deeds. Although he's a distinguished person, his ability is quite outstanding. What's even rarer is that under his leadership, the Devil Sect has basically achieved a peaceful coexistence between the Yao Clan and the Yao Clan. This point is rare even in the entire Immortal Martial Continent."
"Oh?
Looks like Brother Hu Mu has a lot of respect for this Devil Sect's Sect Leader. Or could it be that the two of you are on the same side? "Yao Yun didn't hide his suspicions.
Hua Ling immediately sensed that the atmosphere had changed. She was afraid that her Brother Mu would be angry, so she hurriedly advised, "Yao Yun, don't say too much. Brother Mu is Brother Mu, and the Devil's Sect Master is the Devil's Sect Master. How can they be the same kind of people? Brother Mu's entire clan has joined the Devil's Sect, but he is determined to stay in the Demons Forest.
Yao Yun looked at Hua Ling in disbelief. She had never seen Hua Ling so biased towards an outsider.
Could it be that their many years of sisterhood were inferior to a wild man whom they had only known for a few days?
Hmph, truly a person who values love over friendship. I must have been blind.
"Okay, I got it. You can continue to be lovey-dovey with your Brother Mu. I won't disturb the two of you here."
After speaking, Yao Yun turned around and was about to leave.
This girl was truly a sentimental person.
Hua Ling panicked. Seeing that Yao Yun was about to leave, she looked at Zhao Mu anxiously, as if waiting for his opinion.
"Why are you still in a daze? Go chase after her. After all, you have been sisters for many years. Don't ruin your friendship because of me."
"Brother Mu, don't be angry. Yao Yun's personality is straightforward, but she's still a good person. You'll understand once you get to know her. I'll go chase after her. I'll be right back."
After speaking, Hua Ling flew off.
Not long after, Hua Ling forcefully dragged Yao Yun back.
Although Yao Yun's face was filled with unhappiness, she couldn't resist her good friend's persuasion and chose to keep the peace.
She even took the initiative to apologize to Zhao Mu.
"I'm really sorry, Brother Hu Mu. I was too harsh with my words just now. I sincerely apologize to you. I hope you don't mind. You're Hua Ling's savior, which means you're my savior too. I shouldn't have doubted my benefactor."
It seemed that Hua Ling had told Yao Yun that Zhao Mu had killed Shen Hai and saved her life.
"It's okay. It's good for young people to be a little hot-blooded. It's precisely because the demon race has people like you protecting them that they can grow to their current state. If everyone is as indifferent and casual as me, then the demon race is really hopeless."
It had to be said that Zhao Mu's words struck a chord with Yao Yun. Her impression of Zhao Mu immediately improved a lot, and the way she looked at Zhao Mu also became much more pleasing to the eye.
They should just look alike. How could a person like Hu Mu, whose speech and actions were like a spring breeze, be compared to the unrestrained Devil Sect's Sect Master?
They were definitely not the same person.
She must have been thinking too much just now.
Just like that, Yao Yun temporarily joined Hua Ling's team.
Everyone continued to explore forward. Half a day later, they arrived at the central area of the fearsome place.
The other demon cultivator teams also arrived one after another.
At least 70,000 to 80,000 demon cultivators gathered here and began to share the rewards of their exploration.
But unfortunately, the fearsome place had been turned upside down, and there was still no harvest.
"Let's set up camp here temporarily and make a long-term plan."
Hua Ling gave the order.
She and Yao Yun were the strongest and had the highest status among the demon cultivators present. They naturally became the leaders of this group of demon cultivators.
166 novels.
The demon cultivators agreed one after another.
A few Great Demons who seemed to be quite powerful came forward and chatted with Hua Ling and Yao Yun. Their words were full of flattery.
In terms of status and strength, these demons were actually not much inferior to Hua Ling and Yao Yun. They were basically the elites of the younger generation of the major demon races. Those who were not at the peak of the Tribulation Transcendence realm would be embarrassed to talk to them. Their looks and temperament could also be considered as talents. At least, they were considered outstanding in the demon race that was full of ugly people.
This was not only because of Hua Ling and Yao Yun's status and strength, but also because of their outstanding looks. They were known as the two golden flowers of the demon race.
Which demon prodigy wouldn't want to keep these two golden flowers?
Naturally, Zhao Mu, who stood beside Hua Ling and was close to her, became the target of public criticism.
Although no one came forward to pick a fight for the time being, many Great Demons looked at Zhao Mu with obvious hostility.
Zhao Mu felt a little helpless. He had thought that a conflict was about to erupt.
But at this moment, a black-clothed youth suddenly appeared, causing the atmosphere to change drastically.
The great demons' attention immediately shifted from Hua Ling and Yao Yun to the black-clothed youth. They surrounded the black-clothed youth like stars surrounding the moon. They were very respectful towards him.
Zhao Mu was puzzled and could not help but ask, "What is the background of that black-clothed youth?"
Hua Ling explained, "His name is Gao Chang. His background is not very clear. Rumor has it that he is the reincarnation of a banished immortal. His talent is very terrifying. Now he has reached the peak of the Tribulation Realm at the age of 13. He carries a magic weapon called the Sky Survey Ruler, which is said to be able to measure heaven and earth with infinite power. He is now a well-known figure among the younger generation of the Demon Clan. Not long ago, he became famous in a battle.
Reincarnation of a banished immortal?
And in such a high-profile manner?
Zhao Mu's interest in Gao Chang was immediately piqued.
