The appearance of this golden light suddenly became extremely sudden. Feng Lu had not even noticed an abnormal aura before, so he naturally could not prevent it in advance.

Feng Lu was shocked. He hurriedly slapped the Feng Clan Chief with a palm, temporarily sealed the Feng Clan Chief's magic power with a powerful force, and then threw the sword in his hand back.

Although Feng Lu didn't have time to turn around, the sword accurately aimed at the golden light attacking behind him.

As the golden light approached, the figure of a Meizu monk actually revealed. The Meizu monk was covered with golden scales, like a layer of hard armor.

"Shopkeeper?" Feng Ming was shocked. The person who suddenly rushed out was the shopkeeper who had not seen him for more than ten years after leaving Tianjian Valley.

"No wonder I didn't notice that someone was hiding here just now. It turned out to be him." Feng Ming said in his heart. The shopkeeper also had the Ye Yin Talisman given by Li Muran, which was exactly the same as Feng Ming's hiding method, but neither of them knew that the other party was not far away.

The shopkeeper ignored the sword he was hit and continued to rush forward against it.

"Crack" the sword pierced the scales on the shopkeeper's body and then inserted it into the shopkeeper's arm. However, the shopkeeper also took the opportunity to grab the sword, making it unable to move.

The shopkeeper's speed did not slow down at all, and he rushed down behind Feng Lu in an instant.

The golden phantom gathered in the hands of the shopkeeper and turned into a sharp blade, killing Feng Lu, who was caught off guard, into several pieces.

However, Feng Lu's corpse strangely turned into a ball of spiritual light and dispersed. These spiritual lights quickly gathered into a ball of spiritual light and turned into a phantom of spiritual light.

"The monk of the Void Spirit Clan is indeed the Void Spirit Clan again." The shopkeeper snorted coldly, and the Phantom Sword continued to kill the opponent.

This cultivator of the Void Spirit Clan is not very high in his cultivation, only in the middle stage of the Yuanshen. He seemed to be shocked by the momentum of the shopkeeper and had no intention of fighting. He was dodging while waiting for an opportunity to escape.

The monks of the Void Spirit Clan fought and fled. Suddenly, a powerful aura popped up behind him, and a pair of huge black wind wings trapped him.

The monks of the Xu Ling clan were all in their minds to deal with the shopkeeper's strong attack. Unexpectedly, there was someone hiding behind them.

"Feng Ming?" The shopkeeper was stunned. He immediately recognized that the person who took action was Feng Ming. He obviously did not expect that Feng Ming would appear here.

"Why are you here?" Feng Ming and the shopkeeper asked each other almost in unison.

The two were stunned, and Feng Ming immediately said, "I will talk about this matter in detail later. First, ask the monk of the Xu Ling tribe, what are his plans?"

Feng Ming said to the monks of the Xu Ling clan: "Although you, the monks of the Xu Ling clan, can transform into nothingness and not afraid of sword attacks, we, Mei Clan, can devour your spiritual thoughts and make you, turn into a wisp of spiritual energy and die. If you don't want to die, tell your identity, why do you lurk here? Why do you have to deal with us?"

The monk of the Xuling clan snorted coldly: "Since I accidentally fell into your hands, I will naturally die. But you won't live a few more days than I do when you wait."

After saying that, the aura of the Xu Ling Clan monk suddenly became extremely violent, and his body gradually expanded and turned into a shining ball of inspiration.

"Oh no, he wants to protect his spirit body," exclaimed the shopkeeper.

Feng Ming hurriedly removed the wings of the phantom that trapped this person. As soon as she removed her magical powers, the cultivator of the Void Spirit Clan exploded with a "bang", turning into a strong fluctuation of vitality, rippling around.

Feng Ming dodged in time, and although this wave of energy was swept dozens of feet away, it was not a big deal.

"This guy is very tough and dies if he says he's dead, without any hesitation." Feng Ming frowned.

"He should be the dead soldier sent by the Xu Ling Clan to inquire about the news." The shopkeeper said: "We have encountered attacks from the Xu Ling Clan continuously, and I don't know what their purpose is.

The two pondered for a moment, but they could not guess the intention of the Xu Ling Clan.

The territory of the Xu Ling tribe is too far away from here, obviously not a resource to be planned. Moreover, there are also powerful human forces here to take charge. If the Xu Ling tribe wants to force it, it will have to pay a heavy price and should not declare war easily.

"Not to talk about this," Feng Ming said with a change of topic: "I came to find the Resurrection Grass, and how could the shopkeeper come here?"

"Resurrection Grass?" The shopkeeper was stunned. "I searched here for many days, but I did not find the whereabouts of Resurrection Grass. The reason I came here is because..."

Before the shopkeeper finished speaking, he turned around and looked at the Feng Clan Chief who was running away lightly, and said with a smile: "Fellow Daoist Feng, the seal on your body has not been untied yet, why bother rush to leave?"

"You spy" Clan Chief Feng said in anger after his intention was penetrated: "Why did you steal the family heirloom treasure?"

Feng Ming was surprised when he heard this. It turned out that the spy that the leader of Feng had mentioned before was the shopkeeper.

The shopkeeper smiled and said, "This matter is a long story. Only when I take this treasure away is the real use of everything. Continue to keep it in your hands, the pearl will be cast in the dark."

"How do you say this?" Feng asked in a daze.

"Do you know what kind of treasure this is?" The shopkeeper said, and took out a three-inch-long white jade statue from his arms. It was a woman with palace makeup with a dignified temperament. The jade statue was carved in meticulously, but the jade was a little yellow, which was obviously old.

"This is the family heirloom treasure of our family, just a token passed down from generation to generation, not a valuable treasure." Clan Feng insisted.

The shopkeeper shook his head and said, "It's not that simple. If I'm not mistaken, this jade statue is called Zunmu. The figure of the jade statue is likely to be related to the origin of our Meizu."

"The origin of Meizu?" Feng Ming and Feng Clan Chief were both shocked.

The shopkeeper said seriously: "It's good Fengming, you have also checked many ancient classics related to Meizu, and at least recorded the classics that appeared in Meizu, how many years ago

Feng Ming pondered for a moment and said, "It seems that there were records related to Meizu 20,000 or 30,000 years ago."

The shopkeeper nodded: "To be precise, it was more than 30,000 years ago. There were even earlier classics in the world of immortal cultivation, but they did not mention the Meizu at all. So I infer that Meizu was not actually born, but appeared in the world of immortal cultivation more than 30,000 years ago."

Feng Ming nodded: "I have discussed this before, and it is indeed possible. However, I don't know anything about the reason for the appearance of Meizu."

The shopkeeper said: "I came here just to investigate the reason for the appearance of the Meizu. It is very difficult to track down the life experience of the Meizu branch. Because only after practicing to a certain level and the appearance of the Phantom, there will be an urgent need for food and stimulate the distinctive characteristics of the Meizu monks. Mortals and low-level monks with Meizu bloodline only need to naturally inhale some divine thoughts when they come into contact with humans, which is enough to maintain them. There is no difference at all. Most mortals do not even know that they are Meizu people."

"So, to investigate the life experience of the Meizu, not only those famous high-level Meizu monks who have been recorded, but also those mortal destiny valleys that are not recorded in the Immortal Cultivation World are the birthplace of many Meizu families. More than ten years ago, I came to the Dingqing Valley and dug up countless ancient tombs. I found a genealogy in a mortal tomb."

"A certain child recorded in this genealogy later became a Meizu monk with a high level of cultivation. In other words, other ancestors in the genealogy should also be Meizu people, but they don't know it themselves."

"It's a pity that the genealogy is old and it weathered itself as soon as it was taken out of the tomb. However, before that, I also found some useful clues on it."

"Following this clue, I continued to search and finally found records about the "Sunmu statue," and learned that the Suzu statue had fallen into the hands of the Feng family. Then I sneaked into the Feng family and took away this treasure while the Feng family was unprepared."

Feng Ming became more and more confused as he heard it: "What is the connection between this statue of the noble mother and the origin of the Meizu?"

The shopkeeper said: "I am not sure, but I suspect that the character of the jade statue is the rumored mother of Meizu and the common ancestor of all Meizu people."

"Ancestor of Meizu?" Feng Clan was shocked.

The shopkeeper nodded: "As the investigation over the past two hundred years, I have become more and more suspicious that the emergence of Meizu was not accidental, but because of the existence of the ancestors of Meizu. The ancestors of Meizu gave birth to many descendants, and the descendants continued to reproduce. Tens of thousands of years later, they formed a huge branch. These descendants are actually Meizu people, but some do not know their identities at all and live like mortals. Only a few have embarked on a unique path of cultivation and gradually become Meizu monks in the later generations. This is probably the explanation that Meizu only appeared more than 30,000 years ago, and is almost indistinguishable from the human race, but they have serious defects in divine consciousness. It is this defect that evolved into special features such as Phantoms."

The more you heard it, the more surprised he became: "The family has preserved this jade statue for generations for more than ten thousand years, and I don't know that there is such a meaning behind it. We think it is just a token."

Feng Ming asked again: "What does that have to do with this forest? Why did the shopkeeper come here after he got the statue of his mother?"

The shopkeeper said: "According to the clues I found, this statue of the mother is just a reduced imitation. In fact, there should have been a larger statue of the mother in this forest, which is the real original statue. Unfortunately, I have been searching here for several days, but there are no clues."

The Feng Clan Chief was stunned when he heard this and said, "I may know why fellow Taoist cannot find the statue of the mother."

"What's the reason?" the shopkeeper asked curiously.

The Feng Clan Chief said: "My Feng family has lived in the Dingqing Valley for generations. As a gathering place for the Meizu, the Broad-Ping people often lead the army to invade 20,000 to 30,000 years, and have experienced at least hundreds of battles, all of which are large and small."
