Volume 6: Overseas Chapter 291: Big Lie
The blue waves reappeared, and rays of sunlight broke through the heavy dark clouds, like a divine sword pointing diagonally, falling on Li Muchan's face.
He lay with his eyes closed on the deck. His cheeks, which had turned pale due to the outburst of all his energy, were regaining color, and his weak breath was getting stronger.
Shangguan Xiaoxian sat aside, letting Li Muchan rest his head on her legs, her eyes as gentle as water.
Looking back on the way they came, it turned out that it was not that the wind and rain had stopped, but that they had rushed out of the storm, broke through the thunder, and stepped on the tsunami.
Gazing from afar, they saw the sea behind them shrouded in darkness, with wind and rain, thunder and lightning, as if it were two different worlds compared to theirs.
Everyone else on the boat was still in shock, their hands and feet still trembling slightly, but most of them were frightened and shocked by the powerful methods displayed by these two people.
Unbelievable.
Is this still a human being?
It is rumored that after someone has mastered the Wuxiang Divine Art, his unparalleled power can make a thousand-foot waterfall flow backwards, shocking the world and unparalleled in the world.
Compared with him now, Li Muchan is probably not much behind him.
Shangguan Xiaoxian paid no attention to the gazes of others, lowering her head and gently caressing Li Muchan's cheek. For this man who had just bravely stood before her, shouldering the turbulent waves, her eyes were filled with nothing but tenderness and love, a love that was bold and unrestrained.
Li Muchan's arms were still trembling. He struck with all his might, and even his golden and silver arms were damaged by the impact of the huge waves. How could he himself remain unscathed?
If Shangguan Xiaoxian had not relieved half of the pressure at the critical moment, Li Muchan's two arms might have been blown apart by the released force, and dissipated into the world along with the golden and silver arms.
But even so, it's worth it.
I'm afraid even Li Muchan himself didn't expect that he would go to this extent.
Now that the wind and rain have broken through, the world you see must be very different from before.
After a brief recovery, Li Muchan opened his eyes and the first person he saw was Shangguan Xiaoxian.
The sky was high and the sea was vast, the wind was gentle and the clouds were light. The two looked at each other and saw Shangguan Xiaoxian's cheeks flushed. Then she turned her head away and said, "If you wake up, get up quickly. We still have to hurry."
After being reminded by the other party, Li Muchan suddenly seemed to remember something and looked at a woman on the boat.
The Persian woman.
He stood up, and as the surging energy in his dantian calmed down, the trembling meridians in his arms also disappeared.
"Don't you have anything to say?"
Li Muchan walked around the ship and found that except for the mast being broken by the waves, the hull was basically intact. Only then did he feel completely relieved.
The woman was still in shock, and her face towel had been washed away, revealing her charming face with fair skin and rosy cheeks.
Hearing this, the person's delicate body trembled. No longer had any fighting spirit left. She quickly pressed one hand to her chest, bowed, and said weakly, "The Moon Envoy greets Alliance Leader Li."
Li Muchan smiled and said softly, "Haven't we seen it before?"
The Persian woman who called herself the Moon Envoy was terrified and bowed her head respectfully, saying, "I apologize for any offense I've caused you. I hope Alliance Leader Li will forgive me. To express my apology, I'm willing to tell you everything I know."
Li Muchan hummed, "Finally, I met someone who knows how to handle current affairs."
He pushed the ship through the air and whispered, "Then tell me why you are here."
The Moon Envoy looked at everyone, and after sorting out his thoughts, he spoke slowly, "We have come here to recover the Bodhi Relic, and... to obtain the Elixir of Life and the Western Cardamom."
Li Muchan chuckled and said, "It seems that no matter where one is, east, west, south, or north, everyone will be thinking about these three things."
The Moon Envoy argued, "The Bodhi Relic was originally a sacred object of our Holy Religion. It was stolen by the traitor Ashura and ended up in the Central Plains. As for the Elixir of Life and the Western Cardamom, these two items are not found in the Central Plains, and they were also promised to us by Zhu Da. "
Li Muchan wasn't interested in finding out where these three objects came from, but instead asked, "Could it be that the Bodhi Relics are located in this sea area?"
The Moon Envoy nodded, "Yes, it seems to be in the deep sea."
Shangguan Xiaoxian asked, "Is the Bodhi relic a medicine?"
The Moon Envoy shook his head again. "According to records, it is a strange stone from outer space. It contains an indescribable power that can supplement a person's wisdom, causing them to fall into a wonderful dream and greatly enhance their understanding."
"Is there such a stone in the world?" Li Muchan sneered. "I'm afraid your idiotic Holy Church fabricated this to manipulate people's minds."
There are traces of Western cardamom and elixir of life, but this strange stone from outer space is simply nonsense.
The Moon Envoy said unconvincedly, "This object does exist. Back then, Venerable Ashura used this object to create many magical skills that were unrivaled in the world."
Li Muchan said calmly, "If that's the case, then it's just a waste. The founder of the Demon Cult received this item but still perished in the Central Plains. This shows that the item is not worth cherishing at all. Perhaps..."
He paused for a moment and said in a deep voice, "Perhaps there is no such thing in the world at all. This is all just a lie made up by humans."
The Moon Envoy was stunned when he heard this, then said angrily, "This is impossible... The records in the sect cannot be false, and who would make up such a lie?"
Li Muchan said nonchalantly, "Who knows? Did anyone see Asura Reverend's death? Rather than believing such nonsense, I prefer to believe that people are cunning... Since everything is just legend, hearsay, it is said, I would rather doubt that this Demon Cult's founder is still alive..."
Suddenly, Li Muchan stopped talking.
His brows were furrowed, and his expression became uncertain.
He just said it carelessly, but only after he said it did he realize how scary it was.
What if it’s true?
If this is really possible and the Bodhi relic is fake, then there can only be two people who can make up such a huge lie.
One is Zhu Da, and the other is the Asura Venerable.
Even the possibility of this being the first ancestor of the Demon Cult is particularly high.
Because only a person who has already died in everyone's heart can set up this game so perfectly.
As for the purpose, it's very simple, revenge.
Zhu Da is obsessed with immortality, so there is no way he would let go of the three miraculous medicines. Using them as bait will surely hook him.
Not only that, it can also take the opportunity to attract experts from all sides.
On the other hand, Zhu Da already commands the seven seas. Even if he wants to achieve immortality, it seems unnecessary for him to go to great lengths to weave such a lie.
He and Shangguan Xiaoxian looked at each other and saw the surprise in each other's eyes.
Now that this thought and speculation had emerged, whether it was true or not was no longer important to them. What mattered was how to deal with it and what kind of defenses to take.
Because this person is strong enough, so strong that no one can underestimate him.
If he was dead, that would be fine, just assume they were just imagining things and guessing wrong. But if he wasn't dead, and there was such a powerful person hiding in the dark, waiting for the opportunity to strike, then he would be murderous at any moment.
"By the way," Moon Envoy suddenly hesitated, "There are ten of us in total. Two of us accompanied the Deputy Cult Leader and Zhu Da, and the other three entered the depths of the sea a month ago, in order to... to hunt down two women."
Li Muchan was lost in thought, but upon hearing these words, all his thoughts were instantly swept away. "Two women? What women?"
The Moon Envoy hesitated and said, "A woman covered in silver jewelry, and an older woman. They were carried to an island by the wind and waves. After being discovered, their boat was seized..."
Before the man finished speaking, Ding Linglin couldn't help but exclaimed, "Could it be Sister Li and Master's Wife?"
