Chapter 43: Xiao Bai! Take note of this, I'm making the following arrangements!
"Ugh...who's going to get reinforcements? Me?"
Gu Ziyue slowly raised her finger and pointed it at herself under the unanimous gaze of everyone present, her face full of confusion and bewilderment about the current situation.
He felt the sharp, bone-scraping gazes of the four Nascent Soul experts looking at him.
Gu Ziyue panicked instantly, waving her hands frantically, her voice even cracking slightly: "Ah...no, no! Don't listen to his nonsense! I don't know him at all..."
"Um...right, right, we don't know each other at all."
Dong Mo's voice rang out at the right moment, his tone so sincere it couldn't be more sincere.
However, the next second, Dong Mo's faint voice transmission drifted into Gu Ziyue's ears.
"Hurry up, let's split up. That Fellow Daoist Song from the Ancient Sacred Land is waiting for us at the Heming Inn in Heming Mountain City! Take the token to her, and she can bring reinforcements to save us!"
Upon hearing this, Gu Ziyue's eyes widened in surprise.
Dong Mo's method of transmitting sound was extremely discreet; there was no sign that his lips were moving at all.
The problem is... what's the difference between his Foundation Establishment Transmission Technique and shouting through a megaphone in front of these old monsters in the Nascent Soul Realm?
The corner of the purple-robed elder Dong Maogong's mouth twitched slightly.
Even if Gu Ziyue was stupid, she could now realize what Dong Mo, that little blondie, was up to!
Dong Mo is clearly trying to shift the blame! That damned blondie is using her as a shield!
"Ah...he's slandering me! He's slandering me!"
Gu Ziyue was so anxious her tail stood on end. Pointing in Dong Mo's direction, she jumped up and down, shouting, "I really don't know him..."
Before Gu Ziyue could finish speaking, a sharp eagle cry suddenly resounded throughout the entire mountain forest. Golden light burst forth from Dong Mo's body, and a phantom of a Kunpeng suddenly spread its wings behind him.
The burning blood energy then transformed into rolling waves of energy that swept and spread around Dong Mo.
"Whoosh..."
Dong Mo picked up Xiao Bai, transformed into a wisp of breeze, and instantly disappeared from the spot.
"Kunpeng Treasure Technique - Soaring Roc Wind Control Spell!"
The four Nascent Soul cultivators from the Dong family were momentarily stunned by the sudden turn of events, while Gu Ziyue stared blankly in the direction where Dong Mo had disappeared, her mind buzzing.
Huh? The Kunpeng Treasure Technique? This guy actually mastered it so quickly?
Ah... wait! How exactly did he break the seal on the Kunpeng Armor?
Recalling Dong Mo's confident demeanor when he challenged her and demanded the Kunpeng Armor, a chill ran down Gu Ziyue's spine!
Hiss... Could this guy have known the secrets of the Kunpeng Armor and Kunpeng Technique from the very beginning? He was just trying to deceive me!
Just as Gu Ziyue was thinking this, Dong Mo's righteous shout suddenly rang out from the dense forest in the distance.
"Miss Ziyue has nothing to do with this! If you have any problems, come at me! Let her go!"
Hearing this shout, Gu Ziyue's eyes welled up with tears, and she almost burst into tears on the spot.
Now that you've said that, how can I possibly leave?!
Thinking of this, Gu Ziyue gritted her teeth and her demonic power suddenly erupted, causing an enormous phantom of a Kun fish to quietly appear behind her.
"Kunpeng's Precious Technique: Kun Fish Transformation!"
The moment the Kunpeng Treasure Technique was activated, Gu Ziyue instantly transformed into a blur, her figure darting through the light and shadow of the forest like a nimble fish, disappearing in the blink of an eye before the four Nascent Soul cultivators.
However, after flying less than a hundred feet, Gu Ziyue suddenly realized a problem.
Oh my god... this is bad.
Both she and Dong Mo knew the Kunpeng Treasure Technique. If she used the Kunpeng Treasure Technique to escape now, wouldn't that be tantamount to indirectly showing those four Nascent Soul cultivators that she and Dong Mo not only knew each other, but were even very likely accomplices?
As they watched Dong Mo and Gu Ziyue flee, the four elders of the Dong family had grim expressions.
Dong Changfa waved his folding fan, his voice neither hurried nor slow.
"Hey... Boss, what's next?"
Dong Maogong's face turned ashen: "Chase them!"
Zhao Xier, clutching the short sword, coldly glanced in the direction Gu Ziyue had just disappeared: "Where's that little fox?"
"I'll go after them," Dong Changfa said with a smile as he closed his folding fan.
"Although we don't know whether what the young master said just now is true or false, it's better to catch the wrong person than let them go. If she really brings reinforcements from the Desolate Ancient Holy Land to take the young master away, things will become troublesome."
Dong Maogong nodded and said, "Well... I'll leave that fox to you, Third Brother, to handle."
After saying that, he led Zhao Xier and Zhou Cai and chased after the direction where Dong Mo and Xiao Bai had disappeared.
Dong Changfa remained alone, gazing in the direction Gu Ziyue had just fled, a meaningful smile slowly curving his lips.
Actually, Dong Changfa had noticed the little fox from the very beginning.
A demon who can fully transform into human form during the Foundation Establishment stage must be a descendant of a great demon, and their bloodline rank must be extremely high.
The longevity pills he had recently refined were missing a single ingredient: the blood of a powerful demon. However, the main task assigned by his ancestor was to capture Dong Mo and Xiao Bai, and he really didn't want to cause any trouble.
But now...
"Since you, little fox, have taken the initiative to get involved, then I, Dong, have every reason to openly and legitimately arrest you."
Dong Changfa snapped open his folding fan and chased after Gu Ziyue in the direction she had disappeared, his steps light and quick as if he were on a spring outing.
The scene shifts to another dense forest. Dong Mo, carrying Xiao Bai, has just landed in a thicket. Before he can even catch his breath, his face turns deathly pale.
Clearly, the consumption of this Soaring Roc Wind Control Spell far exceeded his previous expectations. It was as if 30% of the blood energy in his body had been pumped away by a water pump, and he even felt slightly unsteady while standing.
Before Dong Mo could even use the Gluttonous Blood and the Peng King's Blood Seal to restore his blood and spiritual power, he sensed three pursuers a hundred miles away!
Dong Mo activated his double pupils and scanned the area a hundred miles away. Three incredibly powerful auras were approaching at an alarming speed. Leading them was the purple-robed elder Dong Maogong, followed by the dark-faced burly man Zhou Cai and the red-clad woman Zhao Xier.
The pale-faced scholar Dong Changfa was not among the pursuers.
Hmm... In other words, the accountant must have been sent to pursue Gu Ziyue.
Dong Mo's lips curled up slightly.
With one less pursuer among the four, their advantage has clearly increased.
"Young Master, what should we do?"
Xiao Bai gripped the Purple Nether Sword tightly, his gaze warily fixed on the direction of the pursuers behind him.
Looking at Xiao Bai's flustered face, Dong Mo smiled slightly.
"Xiao Bai, take note! I've made the following arrangements; proceed according to my plan later..."
Then Dong Mo quickly leaned close to Xiao Bai's ear, lowered his voice as much as possible, and whispered a few words to Xiao Bai.
After listening, Xiao Bai was slightly taken aback, then nodded vigorously, a resolute look flashing in his eyes.
Then Dong Mo and Xiao Bai took out their magical hats that could conceal their faces and put them on their heads at the same time.
They got into position, waiting for their pursuers to come knocking.
