Chapter 586
”Slowly!!“
Zhao Chen rushed forward:
”It really is you. Miss Tian is truly amazing. You really led us to you.“
”…Don’t be rude. Call me senior brother!”
Yu Slowly’s face turned black.
“You’re not a disciple of the master.“
Zhao Chen smiled:
”You and I are similar in age, so we can call each other by our names.“
”…“
Yu Manman rolled his eyes, at a loss for words for a moment.
Qingyuandaozi glanced at the corpse of Gouyou Hu, and then set his gaze on Yu Manman:
”Are you Yu Manman, one of the Five Poisons of Wusheng Building?“
”This Five Poisons Pervading the World Scripture is truly formidable!
“This person’s martial arts are strange, and his internal strength is deep and indestructible. Even if we join forces, it would not be easy to take his life, but I never expected that he would so easily die at your hands.“
Yu Manman opened his mouth, as if he wanted to say something.
But then he seemed to be too lazy to say anything… Finally, he yawned and waved his hand reluctantly:
”I am an assassin, a killer.
“I am naturally very familiar with killing… Moreover, we have been following these people for a long time and know where this person’s weak points are.
“He was driven to desperation by your constant harassment, and didn’t realize I was hiding behind him, so he succeeded in one strike…“
He spoke very slowly when he said this.
The upper eyelid wanted to fight with the lower eyelid, so Yu slowly held back the upper eyelid as much as possible to avoid any unnecessary conflict.
Unfortunately, the upper eyelid was determined, and the lower eyelid was determined to fight back. The two were about to clash, and Yu was slowly running out of strength… A snore followed.
”…Asleep?”
Qingyuandao’s son looked surprised.
Zhao Chen’s mouth curled up:
“He’s like this…no matter the time or occasion, he just goes to sleep…
”But the fact that he can fall asleep means there’s no danger around.“
”I see.“
Qing Yuan Daozi shook his head lightly:
”I was going to ask where everyone else was.“
”Over here.“
A voice suddenly came from above, followed by a person who flew down, beaming from ear to ear and with an extremely friendly attitude:
”Xiang Tingfei, I’d like to introduce myself to everyone.”
“Xiang Tingfei?“
The group looked at each other, not quite recognizing him.
Yu slowly opened one eyelid:
”He is the Wrath Poison…”
The group immediately understood.
The Wu Poison of the Wusheng Building are Greed, Anger, Ignorance, Sloth and Doubt.
So this person is the Wrath Poison.
However, everyone knows that anger is closely related to wrath, but this person is smiling, where is there even half an ounce of anger?
They couldn’t help but marvel.
However, Qingyuan Daozi quickly clasped his fists:
“So it turns out that it is the face of anger and poison. I apologize.”
“No, no, who would dare to act big in front of Qingyuan Daozi?”
Having said this, he glanced at Slow Poison Yu Slowly and shook his head gently:
“The host knows that he is ignorant, which is why he let me come… As expected, before the two sentences were finished, he fell asleep again… Such neglect is really…”
He let out a long sigh, and his face was full of helplessness.
The Qingyuan Daozi said:
“So, you two knew what was going on here and deliberately came here?”
“I’m not sure exactly,”
Xiang Tingfei said:
“This is a long story, and this is not the place to talk about it. Why don’t you follow us to another place to talk about it?
”We need to clean up a bit here, so that no one finds out.“
”Find out…besides this dog oil Hu, is there anyone else?”
“Yes.“
Xiang Tingfei’s face lost its smile, and he said in a deep voice:
”Not only is there, there are many.
“There are at least two masters who are on the same level as this person or even above him.”
“What?”
Upon hearing this, both Qingyuandaozi and Tian Miaomiao, who was usually unkempt, both had their faces change slightly.
This Gouyou Hu’s body of the Great Yan Five Elements Secret Art was not an ordinary technique.
His martial arts are highly skilled and his methods are devious. Although it is not to say that the group of people together are not his match, it is truly not easy to take him down…
But there are still more than ten masters who are on the same level as him, or even above him.
Tian Miaomiao couldn’t help but exclaim,
“You’re not joking, where did so many masters come from?”
“I’m not joking,”
Xiang Tingfei said softly,
“It’s just that this is a long story, let the host tell you himself.
“First, we need to erase the traces here… The recent fight has not yet attracted their attention, but if Cheng Bufu, who calls himself the “Five Imperial Masters,” does not return soon, I’m afraid those people will come looking for him, and then we’ll be in trouble.
“Together, we may not be able to fight against him.”
Although these words were sensational, none of the people present dared to take any risks.
They were not Jiang Ran.
If Jiang Ran were here, he would naturally be fearless.
Unfortunately, Jiang Ran was not here…so they had to be more cautious.
Immediately, everyone began to clean up the battlefield and cover up the traces.
However, some traces were difficult to completely erase.
In the end, looking at the corpse of the dog-oil-bearded man, Xiang Tingfei took out a small bottle from his bosom and said:
“I will use this corpse-dissolving liquid to destroy his corpse, but there are still residues, so we need to dig a pit to bury it.”
“No, no,”
Zhao Chen quickly said:
“My master passed down to me a bottle of ‘save energy’ that is specially prepared for destroying corpses and erasing traces.“
”…“
Qing Yuan turned back in amazement:
”Brother Jiang has such a skill?“
”That’s a master!”
Tian Miaomiao patted her chest, proud of herself.
Chu Yuniang’s face turned black. What was there to be proud of?
She glanced at Shi Ming, thinking that this chivalrous girl would certainly not approve of such a method.
But she found that Shi Ming was just looking coldly at him without saying a word.
And according to Chu Yuniang’s understanding of her, at this moment, this girl…is mostly in a good mood.
The real man’s heart is not ancient!
Xiang Tingfei praised:
“Brother Zhao’s martial arts heritage is truly extraordinary and admirable.”
Xu Mu was a bit helpless at this. What is there to admire?
It really is incomprehensible.
Zhao Chen then took out the energy-saving powder and sprinkled some on Cheng Bufu’s body.
Sure enough, in just a moment, Cheng Bufu, along with his corpse, clothes, and all the small objects on his body, were all dissolved into water and seeped into the soil, not a trace left.
Xiang Tingfei was shocked for a moment:
“May I ask Brother Zhao, is this energy-saving powder for sale?
”I am willing to pay a high price to buy it!”
“No, no, this was a gift from my master, how can I sell it so easily?“
Zhao Chen quickly took the energy-saving device into his arms:
”If you want it, after you meet my master, you can ask him yourself.“
”This…“
Xiang Tingfei let out a bitter smile:
”To be honest, although your master is not as old as me, for some reason, I always feel nervous in his presence.
“He has a deep and solemn air, and you dare not speak freely.”
Zhao Chen nodded repeatedly:
“You also feel this way? I feel the same way… In front of my master, I dare not even breathe, for fear of disturbing him.”
For a moment, the two felt that they had a lot in common.
They wished they could chat for a while longer.
But Qingyuan and Xu Mu interrupted, saying that the surrounding traces had almost been cleaned up and it was time to go.
Zhao Chen then went over and slowly put Yu on his back.
Seeing him so at ease, Xiang Tingfei also smiled and said to Qingyuan and the others,
“Please follow me.”
The roads in the 100,000 Great Mountains are rugged, and the towering trees often hide many traces. It is extremely easy to get lost if you go deep into them.
However, Xiang Tingfei seemed like an old horse who knows the way, and he quickly brought the group to the middle of a mountain.
Even before they arrived, they had already noticed that there was a person crouching in a tree halfway up the mountain.
The man wore a mask and gazed into the darkness.
He didn’t even look at them when they arrived.
“This is Mo Bai,”
Xiang Tingfei introduced him to the others:
“He is concentrating all his attention on watching the other person’s movements.
”He can’t be disturbed.“
”He’s not that concentrated.“
Mo Bai, crouching in the tree, didn’t even look back at the people, but said indifferently:
”It’s okay to chat occasionally… They’re not as alert as they seem.“
”We can’t be careless,”
Xiang Tingfei said, pointing at the woman under the tree, who was clutching two seeds in her hands as if they were precious.
“She is Flower Language Flower Crazy.
”The seeds in her hands were obtained from the disciple of the Green Clan.
“It’s interesting to talk about this…
”When we met the man from the Green Clan, he was being chased by the disciples of the Flute Clan.
“During the fight, he kept throwing seeds on the ground.
”The martial arts he used were also related to flowers.
“Unfortunately, the seeds he planted never took root until he was captured.
“In the end, Hua Jieyu dug them all up.
”I wanted to see if I could grow the kind of flowers that fat guy was using…
“But now it seems that it’s not going to be easy.”
“I will succeed sooner or later,”
Hua Jieyu said without looking back.
“It’s just that these seeds are different from ordinary ones. Holding them always feels like they’re alive and want to eat.
”Unfortunately, they don’t like water or manure.
“I’m afraid that within these 100,000 mountains, it will be difficult for me to cultivate them.
“After I leave the mountains, I will search through the classics and plant them.”
“I wish you success.”
Xiang Tingfei led the group to continue walking upwards, and there was a cave halfway up the mountain.
There was also a person at the entrance of the cave. After being introduced by Xiang Tingfei, they learned that this person was called Mo Qing.
Mo Qing was not wearing a mask, and when he saw them, it seemed as if he was familiar with them:
“You’ve finally arrived…
“Huh, why is this guy asleep again?
”Go in, the host has been waiting for a long time.”
The first sentence was said to Qingyuan Daozi and the others, while the second sentence was said to Yu Manman.
The last sentence indicated that there was no need for an answer, and they should hurry inside.
This also left Qingyuan Daozi unable to say a word, so he had to follow him into the cave.
Inside the cave, they saw a woman sitting cross-legged.
She opened her eyes only after seeing them.
“I never thought that the infamous owner of the Wusheng Building would be a woman?”
Qingyuan Daozi was a little surprised. Of course, he was surprised, but he still didn’t dare to say it out loud. He could only turn it over in his mind and then clasp his fists and say,
“I am Qingyuan, a humble Daoist, and I have met you before.”
Aunt Rou glanced at Qingyuan Daozi and frowned slightly, but when she saw Jin Ge and Tian Miaomiao, she let out a breath.
She said softly,
“Is Jiang Ran still with the flute clan?”
“When we parted ways, he was still with the flute clan.”
Jin Ge saw that Qingyuan Daozi had not spoken, so he stepped forward to answer.
“He always acts according to a plan, so I think it was him who told you to come find us, right?”
Aunt Rou said,
“Ever since we arrived in the country of Li, we have divided into the light and the dark.
”They are in the light, walking with the Tong family.
“We followed in the shadows, quietly.
“Unexpectedly, as we were about to reach the Hundred Thousand Mountains, we suddenly discovered that there was a group of people also observing them in the shadows.
”Perhaps because we were also in the shadows, they did not discover our presence.
“However, because they were always staring at Jiang Ran and his party…we could not make any sudden contact with Jiang Ran either, otherwise, there was a high possibility that they would notice.
”Since then, we have been quietly keeping an eye on this group of people.
“We just didn’t expect that the more we watched, the more shocked we became.
“These people are all peerless masters. During the process of tailing them, we almost got discovered by them several times.
”Therefore, we became more and more afraid to make the slightest sound.
“And after they entered the 100,000 Great Mountains, a character that surprised everyone of us… appeared.”
“What character?”
Qingyuandaozi realized that he was not welcome by the owner of Wusheng Mansion when she said the first sentence to him.
So afterwards, he wanted to step back and let Jin Ge talk to her.
But when he heard the news, he couldn’t help but ask.
Aunt Rou glanced at him:
“Since Jiang Ran arranged for you to come here as well, I think he trusts you.
”But I don’t know if you know…who Jun He is?“
”The Lord of the Heavenly Vault!“
Jin Ge’s face fell:
”My big brother has been looking for him for a long time. I never thought that he would be hiding in the Hundred Thousand Mountains?“
”That’s right,”
Aunt Rou nodded:
“This group of people are hiding in secret and have set their sights on Jiang Ran.
”I suspect that this trip to the 100,000 Great Mountains was, from the very beginning, within the expectations of this person.
“So he has a plan in place.
”But as of now, we still know nothing about how he plans to carry it out.
“And while Jiang Ran was with the Di tribe, they suddenly left the location of the Di tribe and entered the depths of the 100,000 Great Mountains.
”I fear that there is another mystery behind this move, so I followed closely behind.
“But even now, I still don’t know what this person wants to do.“
”I see.“
The group looked at each other, and then Qingyuandaozi said:
”Since Jiang is still with the Di tribe and has already parted ways with them, we can send someone to deliver the news to Jiang.
“If Jiang knows that the Lord of the Heavenly Palace is here, he will definitely come in person to capture him.”
Aunt Rou nodded upon hearing this:
“This is indeed the best solution now, but I was previously short of manpower.
“Now that you are here, it couldn’t be better.
”Let some of you go and report the news to the Di tribe.“
”There is no need for too many messengers.”
Qingyuan Daozi glanced at everyone.
When he saw Jin Ge, Jin Ge hurriedly said,
“I’m not going back. My brother has been looking for these people for too long, and I can’t let them out of my sight.
“I have unparalleled eyesight, and I’m afraid they’re still out there on the black and white. I’ll be very useful if I stay here.”
“Me, me, me!”
Tian Miaomiao quickly raised her hand: “I can go back.”
“……No.”
Qingyuandaozi shook his head, however:
“Your tracking skills are extraordinary. This group of people are extremely alert and not easy to follow too closely. With you here, we can maintain a safe enough distance to follow.”
“Huh?”
Tian Miaomiao was helpless:
“But I want to go to the flute tribe to eat meat.”
“Actually, the flute tribe doesn’t eat meat, they like to eat insects.”
Qingyuandaozi had to coax her.
Tian Miaomiao was surprised:
“No way! Tian Youfang has been fighting with us for meat the whole way.“
”It’s precisely because the flute tribe doesn’t eat meat and eats insects every day that Tian Youfang likes meat even more.
“Because they don’t get to eat it every day.”
Qingyuan Daozi felt like she was cajoling a child:
“If the flute tribe ate meat every day, they would throw up every time they saw it, so how would they fight with you?”
”……That seems very reasonable.”
Tian Miaomiao thought about it carefully and realized that the Di tribe really did have insects everywhere.
She hadn’t seen anyone drying meat.
She sighed helplessly:
“Okay, okay, then I’d better stay here.
”Compared to that, roasted bread must be much tastier than insects.”
The rest of the group looked at each other and didn’t feel that any of them would be reliable.
Shi Ming was cold on the outside, but warm on the inside, because of the sword she sacrificed in Danyang. Even if she was kind at heart, her appearance was cold and sarcastic.
When she arrived at the flute clan’s home, they didn’t recognize her, so she mostly used her sword to open the way.
Regardless of how the news was conveyed, it was uncertain how much of a price she had to pay in the process.
As for Chu Yuniang… After all, she was a descendant of Chu Nanfeng.
Jiang Ran, the Demon Lord, and she are in cahoots with each other, and Qingyuan just can’t figure out how.
This will make him even more afraid to entrust such an important matter to her.
And Xu Mu is highly skilled in martial arts, and having him by her side will be a powerful asset…
After looking at all these, in the end, he had to set his sights on Zhao Chen.
But he was worried that Zhao Chen’s martial arts might not be enough, and that something might go wrong during the journey from here to the Di tribe.
After thinking for a long time, he found that there was no one else more suitable than this person.
Just as he was about to speak, Zhao Chen said in advance:
“Let me go. My martial arts are not as good as yours, and I am a bit too far behind.
”Staying here won’t help you guys.
“It’s best if I go and deliver the message.”
This was Qingyuan’s plan, but after hearing Zhao Chen say this, his worries could not be suppressed:
“But if you go alone…”
“Let Mo Bai go with him.“
Aunt Rou spoke up at this time:
”The two of them going together can look after each other.“
Having said this, she looked at Jin Ge:
”And you…keep an eye on those people instead of Mo Bai.“
”Don’t worry, leave it to me.”
Jin Ge nodded and agreed to this errand.
After everyone had discussed and decided, and Mo Bai did not object, Zhao Chen set off with Mo Bai.
It was only after the two had left that Yu slowly opened his eyes and glanced in the direction they had gone.
Then he looked back at Aunt Rou.
He noticed that she was silently watching him.
As their gazes met, Yu slowly yawned and rolled over to continue sleeping.
Aunt Rou’s gaze was slightly vacant, as if she was thinking of something.
Finally, she let out a breath:
“Everyone, if you have nothing to do, take a break for now, they…”
“They’re on the move.”
The voice of Jinge, who had just taken over from Mo Bai, came through:
“They want to travel overnight.”
