In another corner of Kapok City, Mu Chengji was still walking in the streets. He was already seriously injured internally, and coupled with the frustration, his spirit was greatly stimulated, as if he had fallen from the heir of the Demon Emperor to the biggest loser in the city at once.

Rong Qianzi took the initiative to contact him, and the position of the Demon Emperor was already close at hand, and the result was an inexplicable dream. He actually fell for someone else's illusion?

The feeling of being hit by a good thing from the sky, if you haven't experienced it, it's just that, but after experiencing it, you find that it is a dream of Nanke, and there is nothing more decadent than this.

But he still has immortal breath in his hands. Make good use of it, maybe he will have a chance to make a comeback. He didn't know who took away the immortal breath by force, which was really pouring salt on the wound, making him so angry that he vomited blood again.

Only his status as a prince remains, which is not something that anyone can deprive away. It's just that he has to get back to the building where they're stationed as soon as possible. There is also the protection of Gu Nakayu, Momiji and others. Now he is very weak, and any one of the little demons who blocks the road and robs the little demon may kill him.

Fortunately, the road is not too far. After walking through a few noisy streets, and then through a few empty and dark alleys, you will arrive.

A cold wind blew, and Mu Chengji felt trembling inexplicably. In the empty alley, the moonlight was shining obliquely overhead, and on the stone slab that bent in front of him, there was a long shadow moving in this direction.

Seeing no one in sight, he felt a pang of fear in his heart for no reason. But before he could turn his head and leave, the figure had already emerged from behind the corner, a majestic brown-robed Taoist. As soon as he saw Mu Chenghe, he bowed with both hands and asked, "Your Excellency is Mu Chenghei Mu Gongzi?"

Mu Chengji froze, and his scalp was a little numb. This person was obviously a Daoist, but he couldn't see the other party's realm at all, and his person was either a mortal, or his cultivation was unfathomable to him. The latter is far more likely than the former.

He hurriedly secretly transmitted the sound to Gu Zhongyou, but found that there was a spiritual fluctuation around him, and it was his transmission that hit some kind of interference, and it couldn't be transmitted at all. The brown-robed Taoist smiled slightly, unfolded his palm, and revealed a turquoise seal-like magic weapon, which was a sound transmission seal.

"Who are you?" Mu Chenghe's nerves tightened again.

"The old dead wood Rong, the minister of the tree clan, has seen Mu Gongzi. The brown-robed Taoist did not hide his identity and appearance, and the moonlight shone directly on his face. This person's appearance is much younger than Rong Qianzi, with a dignified appearance, resolute eyes, and handsome appearance, not like a pure-bred tree man, and may have the blood of the Zhongtu Yao people.

Mu Chengji had heard of this person. Sakae Deadwood was once in the Muno Department and Banyan Chiaki for a long time. It's just that as an elder of the royalist faction, he was extremely at odds with Rong Qianzi, and I heard that he was finally driven out by Rong Qianzi as a rebel. But the Tree Clan never blew up their own ugliness, and these rumors are all gossip.

"Oh?" the hope in Mu Chenghe's heart suddenly rekindled. Since Dead Wood Rong is also the boss of the Tree Clan, it has the same effect as Rong Qianzi. Maybe this withered elder also wanted to join forces with him to seize the throne of the Demon Emperor. But after experiencing the deception of hallucination, he was no longer easily deceived, thought about it carefully, and asked calmly:

"Why are you waiting for me here?"

Dead Murong smiled and said: "I have already been to the Zunyuan Post House, and everyone in the Ghost Owl Envoy is here, but Gongzi is not there. So I waited for Childe at a few nearby intersections as a clone. ”

Doppelganger...... Mu Chenghe's heart was shocked again, this Taoist who he couldn't even see through was actually just one of several doppelgangers: "Then you...... What do you want?"

Deadwood Rong replied politely: "I have been with the Tree Emperor for many years, and I am very clear about the power of the Tree Emperor's bloodline. I heard that Childe is the queen of trees, so I need to come close to see if it's true or not. ”

"That'...... Have you seen it, is it true or not?"

Elder Ku clasped his hands in his sleeves and said, "It's true." ”

Mu Chengji breathed a sigh of relief. Sure enough, the two bigwigs, Rong Qianzi and Dead Murong, have been confirmed to be true, and their identities are no longer suspicious. But then he suddenly sensed that something was wrong.

Since he is the prince, why doesn't this Dead Murong have a look of deference in his eyes? Shouldn't you be honored with the title of "Your Highness"?

He forced his hands behind his back. Although he couldn't transmit the sound, he still had a way to contact Gu Zhongyu. Behind his belt was a white jade pendant. As long as the jade pendant is crushed, whether or not the sound transmission interception is there, Gu Zhongyou will know that he is in danger and locate his position.

Although Dead Murong is powerful, he can't stand the number of them, and it is impossible for the city defense department of Kapok City to ignore them. He had a chance to escape.

But at this time, Dead Mu Rong suddenly noticed that Mu Chenghe's gaze was abnormal, and he teleported over with a flash. Mu Chengsi was about to crush the jade pendant in his hand, but he felt that his wrist was pinched by an earth-shattering force, and his bones were shattered with a click. His fingertips immediately went out of force.

In fright, he was about to open his mouth to shout, but Dead Wood Rong's other hand also reached out, flicked like a python, and grabbed his neck. His shouts only gurgled in his chest, but he couldn't shout anything. And his neck was clamped, he couldn't breathe at all, his blood didn't flow, and he quickly fainted.

Dead Mu Rong originally planned to ask this Mu Chenghei to obediently cooperate with him and return to the City Lord's Mansion, so that he could also be left as a fake hole card against Rong Qianzi. But he didn't expect him to be so stupid as to play tricks in front of him, and he had no choice but to hurt his hands.

At this point in time, Dead Murong's true body was gently catching up with Kapok in the City Lord's Mansion. Although Kapok promised to help him find the combination of three men and one woman he was looking for, he did not put all his bets on Kapok alone, and had already secretly sent a clone to the Zunyuan Post House that specially entertained noble envoys.

His doppelganger first wandered around the post house as if there was no one, but he did not find the Mu Chenghei who claimed to be a descendant of the Queen of Trees. He estimated that this person would return to the Zunyuan Post House sooner or later, so he incarnated from one doppelganger to several, each guarding a path until he bumped into Mu Chenghei and came back.

"Sure enough, it's Your Majesty's breath. It's just not his descendants, it's him!"

Deadwood Rong took a deep breath, the breath that almost crushed him to the point of immobility. He was loyal to Kino, and this aura of the Tree Emperor was even more intimidating to him. The master, who has been missing for decades, actually met again under such circumstances, which made him feel quite uncomfortable.

He beat his spirit, put his five fingers together, and used his hand as a knife to inject the power of qi and blood, and the entire palm suddenly became as tough as steel. Then, with lightning speed, he stabbed through Mu Chengji's ribs with a pop and went deep into his chest.

Originally, he was not sure that he would be able to pierce Mu Chenghei's body. If this person's body is transplanted with Mu Ye's tree core, then he may not be able to pierce the wooden shield of the Tree Emperor Clan. This kind of acquired tree body can also bring the same coercion as the Tree Emperor bloodline. If you use some method to drain the original blood in his body as much as possible, you can still deceive the blood test of the five-color plate.

But what he didn't expect was that his hand knife barely encountered any obstacles, and pierced the man's heart like a tofu. His heart, which was still beating, twitched violently a few times before it stopped beating permanently.

Deadwood Rong opened his five fingers and groped in the other party's heart, almost tearing the man's heart into a pair of rotten flesh, but he didn't find what he was looking for.

"It's weird, there's no tree core. It seems that Biluo said that the core of the tree is in the hands of the real prince, and it is not a lie. ”

He heard Kapok say that Rong Qianzi did not find anything suspicious about this "prince", so he guessed that the bloodline of the tree emperor on this prince was real. But he originally thought that Mu Chenghei had transplanted the core of the Tree Emperor in his body, refined it into the acquired tree body, and came to pretend to be the prince.

So he once suspected that Lian Ling's statement that the tree core was in the hands of the real prince was false. But I didn't expect that the core of the tree could not be found on this fake prince.

Transplanting the core of the tree to achieve the acquired tree body, stealing the inheritance of Aoki's immortal skills, and finally seizing the position of the tree emperor was originally the plan of the ancient family. It's just that the person who originally took on this position was Gu Wentian, and it was not Mu Chenghei's turn at all. It's a pity that Gu Wentian was killed by Lian Ping, and the core of the Tree Emperor was taken away, and their plan was forced to change.

This is actually good news for Deadwood Rong. The memory of Kino himself who exists in the core of the tree is ironclad proof that the prince inherited the throne. As for the bloodline, you say it's true, he says it's false, in front of many tree people, the bloodline itself can't manifest anything visible, and everyone can't believe it. Now as long as he finds the true prince, the core of the tree emperor can also be obtained together, and it will be much more convenient to help the prince ascend to the throne in the future.

Deadwood Rong pulled out his hand, and hot blood spurted out like a fountain from the large hole in Mu Chenghe's chest.

"It was because of the blood. This is the true Blood of the Tree Emperor!" He sniffed the slimy blood in his hand close to his nostrils, and suddenly understood everything.
