hapter 381 Seeking for Helpers
“It’s no use handing over a key . ” Qiu Yuetong looked at Mu Yi for a while and then said suddenly .
Mu Yi looked at her, clearly confused .
“When I attacked Zai Feng, I was seen by them . They know that I was the one who took the key . It would be almost impossible to get into the Yellow River’s ancient road . ” Qiu Yuetong calmly analyzed .
“Not necessarily . ” Mu Yi said after considering . “Tonight, your injury was seen by them . They wouldn’t expect you to recover so quickly . In addition, I have a human skin mask . You can pretend to be a Taoist . Since we will be together it won’t arouse too much suspicion . ” Mu Yi said directly .
Although he had gone there wearing a mask, it was just in case . The mask was also covered by a cloth mask . Fan Yuan hadn’t seen him clearly, so he couldn’t recognize him . As long as he didn’t fight with him, he wouldn’t know . Qiu Yuetong’s eyes brightened a little . Mu Yi’s idea was feasible . She could pretend to be a Taoist because Taoist didn’t need to shave their heads . It would perfectly disguise her gender .
The other side had confidence in their own strength . If she threw the key out at this time, the other side would surely think that she had completely quit . The key would be able to attract everyone’s attention . She didn’t care about finding some companions as this was Mu Yi’s right . If there were only two of them, it would be risky . If three other experts were added, the trip would be safe .
“Good . ” Qiu Yuetong nodded, “It’s your job to find helpers . ”
“No problem . ” Mu Yi smiled .
He was already thinking of inviting Leng Yu . If she joined them, with her strength he would never be afraid of any provocation . He didn’t know whether she would come here . He had the key this entire time but Leng Yu hadn’t shown any interest . She seemed rather dismissive .
It was too late to send a message to anyone else . He could only hope Leng Yu would come herself . So he had to find someone else just in case . It was best if this person was alone in the world and had no backers . They should be at least at the peak of the second difficulty, or of the seventh grade . Otherwise, they were not qualified to participate .
Mu Yi didn’t stay for long . Wang Tao thanked him repeatedly as he was leaving . Mu Yi just smiled and didn’t pay any attention to it . During the time when they had been together, Mu Yi had known that Wang Tao was a good person . He had really matured in the time they were apart . If he followed Qiu Yuetong, he might even be a great general in the future .
Qiu Yuetong was a bandit leader and knew enough places for Wang Tao to settle in . Mu Yi didn’t have to worry about this . Even if Mu Yi offered to help him, Wang Tao might not want to accept it . After Mu Yi left, Qiu Yuetong was sitting in a chair, letting herself fall into a dark place . No one could see her expression at the moment . They could only wonder what she was thinking about .
The next day, Mu Yi summoned Chong Jiayi to inquire about experts acting alone in particular . While Chong Jiayi was searching for information, Mu Yi didn’t sit around idly . He was still studying the Xin lamp and drawing charms, mainly five thunders charms . At present, his charm technique had hit a bottleneck . Every time he drew charms, he tried to let himself enter the unity of heaven and man . Only in this way could the power of the five thunders charm be enhanced to the maximum .
It was a pity that he had drawn a lot of five thunders charms and he hadn’t been able to do so . He could only rip up the charms . Mu Yi was also using his own power to repair the twelve runes in the Xin lamp . He quickly gave up this method because the loss outweighed the gain . He could either kill to refine enough lamp oil or find enough Yin Qi so that the Xin lamp could fully absorb it . That was the only way to repair the runes .
In just one day, Chong Jiayi brought the news that Mu Yi wanted . There was an expert named Nangong Xu . According to Chong Jiayi, Nangong Xu had no reputation in the world, but he was definitely a top expert . He had destroyed three secret places in the mountains overnight . All the villains had been killed . However, this man didn’t care about reputation . He was reclusive and seldom dealt with people . From his behavior, it could be seen that he was upright, or at least not a villain .
There was nothing to disagree with regarding character . Whether to let him join only depended on his strength . If he was too weak, he couldn’t come . If he hadn’t reached the peak of the second difficulty, he would die even if he got to enter the Yellow River’s ancient road . Mu Yi took the address Chong Jiayi found and went to look for Nangong Xu . He was less than 40 years old and wearing a white suit .

“You are Nangong Xu?” Mu Yi asked directly .
“Yes, who are you?”Nangong Xu asked, looking at Mu Yi coldly .
“Don’t worry, I have no grudge against you . I want to offer you a great opportunity . ” Mu Yi looked at him and said .
“An opportunity?” Nangong Xu asked, watching Mu Yi warily .
“How about entering the Yellow River’s ancient road?” Mu Yi said .
“Are you the evil Taoist?” Nangong Xu asked .
“Oh, you know me?” Mu Yi said, surprised .
“You’re so young, but you have the key to the Yellow River’s ancient road . I can’t think of anyone else except the famous evil Taoist . ” Nangong Xu said directly .

“Although the nickname is not very pleasant, it’s really me . Are you interested?” Mu Yi asked .
“What are the conditions?” Nangong Xu said .
There was desire in his eyes . Most of the experts in Zhengzhou came here for the Yellow River’s ancient road . He was no exception . Originally, he had come here just to take a chance and hadn’t expected to be brought in by someone . He did not doubt the identity of Mu Yi, or his words, because there was no need for this . It could be said that the keys of Mu Yi and Qiu Yuetong were the goals of everyone except the big forces .
If Mu Yi was on his own, he might not be able to even keep the key, let alone enter the Yellow River’s ancient road . It was inevitable for him to find helpers, but Nangong Xu hadn’t thought that Mu Yi would come to him . As long as Mu Yi didn’t violate his principles, he would be willing to join even if he had to pay a certain price .
“The conditions are not to fight without my permission . You must stand with me no matter how powerful my enemies are at that time . You can’t betray me . ” Mu Yi said directly .
“No problem . How will you distribute the treasures obtained in the Yellow River’s ancient road . ” Nangong Xu continued .
“Whoever gets it owns it . ” Mu Yi said simply .
“Seriously?” Nangong Xu asked .

“Of course . You won’t ask who my enemy is?” Mu Yi looked at Nangong Xu and said .
“In the Yellow River’s ancient road, there are only enemies . Even if the emperor comes, it’s useless to talk about it . ” Nangong Xu said firmly .
“One last thing . ” Mu Yi said .
“What?” Nangong Xu asked .
“Show me how strong you are . ” Mu Yi said .
Nangong Xu was not given any time to react . Mu Yi approached him with a single step and punched him . His reaction was not slow though . At the moment Mu Yi had moved, his right hand shook and a flexible sword came out of his sleeve . The flexible sword was like a chain and was rushing to wrap around Mu Yi’s arm . Mu Yi just smiled and didn’t stop his attack .
The flexible sword wrapped around Mu Yi’s arm, but the flesh and blood Nangong Xu was expecting didn’t appear . Nangong Xu had planned to stop the fight here, but the result was beyond his expectation . Before he could react, Mu Yi’s fist gently shook and the flexible sword loosened . Nangong Xu felt himself sweating as the fist hit him . Mu Yi withdrew his fist and didn’t hurt him at all .
“Although you have reached the seventh grade, you’re barely qualified . ” Mu Yi said and turned away .
Nangong Xu only stood there motionless even after Mu Yi left .
