Chapter 148: Mu Huanzhi
The gate swung open and while everyone in the hall was expecting to find the intruder, to their surprise, there was no one outside.
The people in the room did not let down their guard, but extended their perception around and investigated.
However, no matter how much they tried, they couldn't find anything.
Seeing this, one of these people couldn't help but turn their head and look at Mu Huanzhi.
"Senior brother Mu, should we go out and investigate?", a young male voice came from behind the silver mask.
When he heard this question, Mu Huanzhi stared at this man with a weird expression.
In such a situation, you don't think about staying put and guarding the core of the formation, but we should go out?
He remembered this person and was ready to deal with him in the near future.
Otherwise, if he keeps him close to him, the man might infect him with stupidity and lower his intelligence.
Mu Huanzhi was about to refuse, but he was shocked to find that the rest of his subordinates were also nodding their heads as if they felt that the man's proposal was very good.
Seeing this, he couldn't help but become speechless.
After a few seconds of silence, an expression of disappointment appeared on his face and he waved his hands.
"Get out, you should all go out to investigate.", Mu Huanzhi gave an order, and his subordinates hurriedly left the hall, not noticing his expression.
When the last person stepped out and Mu Huanzhi was the only person remaining in the room, the gate of the hall suddenly shut on its own.
Mu Huanzhi didn't show any reaction to this, but took a few steps forward and walked towards the white pool. Stay connected with My Virtual Library Empire
Once he got there, he leaned down, and with a move of his hand, he picked up the strange skull that was floating on the pool's surface.
Holding it in his hand, Mu Huanzhi played with it for a few seconds, before turning his head and looking at a certain corner of the room.
"Come out. I know you're here.", he spoke and his voice spread through the whole hall.
However, even after a few seconds passed, no one showed up, as if there was truly no one in the hall apart from him.
Of course, Mu Huanzhi wouldn't be fooled by this and still trusted his own senses very much.
He opened his mouth and was about to speak again when suddenly, countless threads of light appeared in another corner of the room.
These threads of light gathered together and in the blink of an eye, a giant golden sword had been woven.
This sword was massive, more than ten meters in length, and exuded an aura of majesty and holiness.
The next moment, an invisible hand seemed to have grasped the hilt of this holy sword, and swung it forward, towards him.
Before Mu Huanzhi could react, the holy sword had landed on his body.
"Boom!"
Space cracks appeared at the point of collision and in a split second, they had spread throughout the hall.
However, when the dust had settled and the space repaired itself, Mu Huanzhi appeared again, seemingly not affected by this attack.
Only a small scratch had appeared at the back of his hand where drops of blood oozed out, while there were a few marks left on the cuff of his robe.
"I didn't expect that the dignified Saint of the Holy Church would resort to sneak attacks.", Mu Huanzhi commented, as he looked in the direction that the holy sword came from, and found that a beautiful woman was standing there.
The woman had blonde hair and blue eyes, and her temperament was serene and indifferent.
Having seen her portrait before and informed of her deeds, Mu Huanzhi instantly recognized her.
"I can guess that you came here looking for this thing.", Mu Huanzhi said calmly and played with the skull in his hand before continuing:
"I'm willing to exchange the core of the formation for the method you used to deal with my Brand."
Although he was calm on the surface, secretly, Mu Huanzhi was quite surprised.
He didn't notice Chu Wuyao's existence because of his strong perception and strength, but because he faintly sensed the arrival of an extra Brand inside the hall.
But what surprised him was that he didn't notice this Brand until it reached this place.
This couldn't help but make him curious.
As an ability that was derived from his Authority, Mu Huanzhi knew just how strong and pervasive his Brand was.
Moreover, so far, there were only two ways for his Authority to fail.
Either the other person's realm was stronger than his, or the other person possessed an Authority of a similar grade.
However, in the Inheritance World, neither of these two things were possible.
After all, the power system of this world didn't allow people to come into contact with Authorities, and because of the relative weakness of the power system, even Holy Realm practitioners would not be able to remove or seal his Brand.
In his opinion, the Saint in front of him should have found a third way to deal with this ability.
For Mu Huanzhi, learning this new method was extremely important and would allow him to take countermeasures against him.
Moreover, it was possible that it would help him in his future cultivation journey.
Compared to this new method, the promise he had made to the Demon Pope to guard this place was worthless.
While many thoughts were passing through his mind, Mu Huanzhi stared at Chu Wuyao and waited for her response.
He felt that his proposal was quite good and it would benefit both of them.
In his mind, there was no reason for the Saint to refuse.
Unfortunately for him, Chu Wuyao didn't show any sign of willingness to communicate with him.
The moment he finished his words, strands of light gathered in front of her, and with a move of her hand, they flew towards Mu Huanzhi.
Although it was a little unexpected, Mu Huanzhi reacted instantly.
Before the light could arrive, his figure had disappeared, dodging the incoming attacks.
When Mu Huanzhi reappeared, he was standing above the pool that was filled with the transparent liquid, and with a move of his mind, he activated his Authority.
"Don't you think that it is a little strange that the Demon Pope is relieved to let me guard such an important place alone?"
"Do you think that it is because of those Holy Realm practitioners that are fighting outside?"
"No! It's because he knows my strength!", he spoke, and the next second, the pool under his feet started shaking.
Compared to last time, this shaking was way more intense and many times more violent, causing the ground and the walls of the hall to tremble.
The next moment, a huge black shadow appeared at the bottom of the pool and slowly, it became bigger and bigger, as if a giant creature was slowly rising to the pool's surface.
"Boom!"
The liquid suddenly parted, and from deep inside the pool, a giant creature jumped out.
