134: Tongtian Magic Mirror

Seeing that the situation had reached a stalemate, Lin Mu lost the desire to continue watching the commotion.

He dispersed the divine power around him and, with a flash, appeared in the center of the scene.

Both parties, who were in the middle of a battle, were startled by Lin Mu’s sudden appearance.

They were extremely shocked, realizing that someone had been hidden there all along, and they hadn't even noticed him.

This forced both sides to become more cautious.

Old Man Zhou the Hunchback narrowed his eyes slightly, then said with a fake smile, “Fellow Daoist, you’ve come at just the right time.

This woman possesses a great treasure; if we join forces to kill her, how about we split the treasure equally afterward?”

Lin Mu feigned interest and looked at the Green-clothed Woman.

At this moment, the Green-clothed Woman’s demeanor was somewhat frenzied.

She said with a frosty expression, “Fellow Daoist, as long as you help me kill this old hunchback, I will offer you the treasure with both hands.”

“Furthermore, I promise you that the Hao Family will forever owe you a favor.”

Upon hearing this, Old Man Zhou the Hunchback immediately grew anxious.

He sneered, “I’m afraid the Hao Family won’t owe you a favor, but rather settle scores with you afterward.”

“Fellow Daoist, you probably don’t know that the Hao Family has the Western God Emperor backing them.”

“If the two of us join forces to kill her, it will be done without anyone knowing.”

“In this Divine Forbidden Mountain, a God Emperor cannot enter.”

Upon hearing this, Lin Mu’s heart stirred slightly.

Could this woman be related to Jialan?

He probed, “What is the relationship between the Hao Family and the Western God Emperor Jialan?”

Old Man Zhou the Hunchback, seeing Lin Mu ask this, thought Lin Mu was going to help him.

He quickly said, “The current head of the Hao Family is the Western God Emperor’s personal disciple.”

“He is deeply favored by the Western God Emperor.”

“And this woman is the Hao Family head’s biological sister.”

“Fellow Daoist, do you think the Hao Family will cause you trouble afterward?”

Lin Mu pondered for a moment, then slowly spoke.

“I actually have a good idea; I wonder if the two of you would like to hear it?”

Old Man Zhou the Hunchback quickly said, “Please speak, Fellow Daoist.”

The Green-clothed Woman didn’t speak, but her gaze also turned to Lin Mu.

Lin Mu chuckled lightly and said, “Since the two of you are in endless dispute, how about this: I find it difficult to make a decision right now.”

“How about I kill both of you and take the treasure myself?”

“Without anyone knowing.”

“What do the two of you think of this idea?”

After Lin Mu finished speaking, he glanced at both of them.

Old Man Zhou the Hunchback’s fake smile immediately vanished upon hearing this.

He said in an unfriendly tone, “Fellow Daoist, do you really think you can kill both of us by yourself?”

Lin Mu said calmly, “How will you know if you don’t try?”

Old Man Zhou the Hunchback’s face was overcast with changing emotions.

Suddenly, his gaze fell upon the Green-clothed Woman.

He said in a sincere tone, “Fellow Daoist Hao, why don’t we deal with this person first, and then decide the victor?”

The Green-clothed Woman hesitated for a moment, then said, “Alright.”

Old Man Zhou the Hunchback smiled and said, “Since that’s the case, let’s both stop and deal with this person together.”

The Green-clothed Woman said, “Good, as you say.”

Old Man Zhou the Hunchback said, “Then let’s both stop.”

With that, Old Man Zhou the Hunchback retracted his dark green gourd, waiting to deal with Lin Mu alongside the Green-clothed Woman.

However, Old Man Zhou the Hunchback didn’t expect that the Green-clothed Woman hadn’t retracted her fire phoenix.

Instead, she increased its power, and the fire phoenix instantly shone brightly, rushing towards him.

In his haste, Old Man Zhou the Hunchback could only block with the gourd in front of him.

However, the gourd’s defense was limited.

Although it blocked the fire phoenix’s attack, the gourd was shattered into pieces.

A large amount of liquid from the gourd spilled onto the ground.

The residual power of the fire phoenix, as expected, struck Old Man Zhou the Hunchback.

Old Man Zhou the Hunchback was immediately sent flying.

His entire body was burned to a crisp.

He was clearly severely injured.

He spat out several mouthfuls of blood and shakily stood up.

He said with a face full of resentment, “You crazy old hag, are you insane?”

“If you kill me, you won’t live either; your divine power has already been depleted by more than half.”

“Do you think you’ll be his match?”

Old Man Zhou the Hunchback looked at Lin Mu.

Even at this moment, Old Man Zhou the Hunchback wanted to drag Lin Mu down with him.

Who knew that the Green-clothed Woman didn’t care at all.

She sneered, “Whether I am his match is a matter for later; before that, I can definitely kill you.”

With that, she gathered all her divine power and once again conjured a fire phoenix even larger than before.

Seeing this, Old Man Zhou the Hunchback no longer hesitated.

He conjured a black handkerchief and casually tossed it.

Immediately, the handkerchief rapidly expanded, instantly engulfing the entire space.

The entire space instantly became pitch black.

Old Man Zhou the Hunchback took advantage of this moment to desperately flee in one direction.

Because this place was already deep within the Divine Forbidden Mountain,

everything was affected by the restrictions of the Divine Forbidden Mountain.

Therefore, Old Man Zhou the Hunchback couldn’t fly in the air and could only move through the jungle.

Just as he was about to escape to safety,

a white figure suddenly blocked his path.

The white figure said, “Fellow Daoist, where are you off to?”

Old Man Zhou the Hunchback looked at Lin Mu with a fierce gaze; he knew he couldn’t delay now.

So he didn’t waste any more words.

Instead, he turned his body and ran in another direction.

However, not long after, Lin Mu’s figure appeared in front of him again.

Old Man Zhou the Hunchback was clearly somewhat enraged; he suddenly pulled out a large black knife.

He slashed at Lin Mu without hesitation.

Lin Mu calmly watched the attacking Old Man Zhou the Hunchback; he merely extended his right hand and grabbed.

Old Man Zhou the Hunchback’s body was uncontrollably seized by Lin Mu.

Old Man Zhou the Hunchback’s body also became as small as an ant.

Old Man Zhou the Hunchback now knew he was no match for Lin Mu.

In Lin Mu’s hand, he continuously bowed and begged for mercy.

However, Lin Mu didn’t even look.

With a clench of his palm, Old Man Zhou the Hunchback’s body instantly turned to ashes.

After dealing with Old Man Zhou the Hunchback, Lin Mu’s body flashed and returned to his original spot.

To his surprise, the Green-clothed Woman hadn’t fled.

She was holding the Man in White Clothes, who was already cold, with sadness in her eyes.

Seeing Lin Mu return, she turned her head and softly said, “Is Old Man Zhou the Hunchback dead?”

Lin Mu said, “In my hands, he naturally couldn’t escape.”

Upon hearing this, the Green-clothed Woman, still holding her husband’s hand, released one hand.

With a gentle flip of her released hand, a small, exquisite jade mirror appeared in her palm.

She threw the jade mirror to Lin Mu without any reluctance.

Lin Mu took the jade mirror and examined it carefully.

The Green-clothed Woman clearly knew the purpose of this jade mirror.

She slowly said, “This mirror is called the heaven-reaching divine mirror.”

“Through it, you can amplify your own divine power by several times.”

Lin Mu asked with interest, “Since it’s so miraculous, why didn’t you use it just now?”

“I presume it has many restrictions, right?”

The Green-clothed Woman said, “This divine mirror requires Primal God Power as its foundation to be activated.”

“I don’t carry any magical artifacts with Primal God Power on me.”

Lin Mu nodded without changing his expression, saying, “I see.”

But his heart was filled with unexpected joy.

This was simply tailor-made for him.

After the Green-clothed Woman finished speaking, she had no intention of continuing the conversation.

She said in a calm tone, “I told you this only to thank you for killing Old Man Zhou the Hunchback for me.”

“As for what you do next, whether to kill or dismember, it’s entirely up to you.”
