Early the next morning, at Feilai Peak in Yunng Marsh.
"So, the invaders this ti are here for Kunwu?"
"And then you used that Divine Witch’s specialty curse, severely injuring their... vitality?"
A glint of fierceness flashed in Xiluo’s eyes, a rare departure from her usual laziness.
Last night’s unique fighting style of Wu Luo left a deep impression on Xiluo.
No matter what kind of attack thod she used,
Wu Luo could always draw a corresponding weapon from within to counter it.
In contrast, Xiluo hesitated in battle.
She did not dare to use magical treasures, fearing Wu Luo would add them to his "arsenal".
"That’s right, I guess that Divine Witch will avoid in the future, as his trump card has beco mine."
"Also, although they ca for Kunwu, they may not necessarily have malicious intent."
Unexpectedly, Li Boyang’s words surprised Xiluo.
However, when she saw the Celestial Destiny Bone Armor in Li Boyang’s hand, she imdiately knew he had calculated sothing.
"How so? What did you figure out this ti?"
Upon hearing this, Li Boyang smiled lightly and said,
"Don’t you feel that Wu Xian revealed quite a bit of information?"
"Kunwu’s identity, the origin of the Sea Calming Tripod, the water woes of the East Sea, even the Great Witch’s combat strategy..."
"As a creature that has lived for over two thousand years, he even used such a naive stratagem as ’luring the tiger away from its mountain’."
"From an outsider’s perspective, describing their actions as ’reckless’ is an understatent."
Looking at Xiluo’s bewildered face, Li Boyang calmly stated,
"So, I guess Wu Xian’s visit is both a warning and a reminder."
"Just as Wu Xian said in the end, if Kunwu is indeed the Totem God of Great Xia and so crucial to them..."
"Then it is only a matter of ti before the gods and witches of Great Xia set their sights on the Hundred Lands Mountain Range."
"If I were in that position, knowing the deterrence of a Celestial Being, I would make thorough preparations and strive to achieve the goal."
"In Wu Xian’s case, coming to Yunng Marsh with just three people..."
"It might have a bit of an opportunistic elent, but it’s clearly also a reminder to us."
At this point, Xiluo finally understood the aning behind Li Boyang’s words.
"Why is he doing this?"
Warning the opponent before the battle, Xiluo felt that for Wu Xian to do such a thing, he either had a screw loose or was planning to betray.
"It’s simple: Wu Xian does not wish for an irreconcilable conflict between Great Xia and the Hundred Lands Mountain Range."
"That’s why I said his coming this ti is actually a warning."
"A warning that the Great Witch possesses nurous mysterious thods and will go to any length for the survival of Great Xia."
Looking at the Celestial Destiny Bone Armor facing upwards, Li Boyang smiled helplessly.
"However, I think he’s overthinking it."
"I have seen the ways of Great Xia clearly through Wu Yi."
Upon instantly grasping Li Boyang’s implicit aning, Xiluo widened her eyes in accusation.
"Are you planning to compromise?"
"Do you really believe their nonsense and want to give up on Kunwu!?"
Though Xiluo often appeared carefree, she was the deity among the Hundred Lands Mountain Range who valued emotions the most.
For the sake of her relationship with Wu Yao, she could guard Feilai Peak alone for a thousand years.
Similarly, Xiluo would never allow Great Xia to take Kunwu away.
Even if it’s the most irrational decision from a logical standpoint...
Even if it would trigger a war between Great Xia and the Hundred Lands Mountain Range...
This is Xiluo, soone deserving of entrusting with important tasks any ti.
"No, I just think Wu Xian said one thing right..."
"In matters like this, we must first ask for the opinion of the involved deity."
...........................
Relying on his Bronze Giant Snake that required no sustenance,
Ling Guzi sped into the Yanfang Kingdom at a pace of a thousand miles a day.
Unfortunately, when Ling Guzi arrived, Golden Horn, Bahu, and the Enlightened Six Witches had already left.
Only remnants of fla and lava continued to burn across the land.
"Am I too late?"
Tilting his head slightly, Ling Guzi’s gaze swept over the devastated land.
In the next mont, he steered the Bronze Giant Snake toward the heart of the flas.
That was where Long Jikui last remained, also the deepest pit in this land’s center.
Due to Golden Horn’s use of the Golden Gourd, the flas, rocks, vegetation, and even Long Jikui were absorbed.
When Ling Guzi arrived, all he saw was a giant void like a heavenly pit.
"It’s not entirely for nothing."
Leaping down from the head of the Bronze Giant Snake, Ling Guzi crouched to touch the pit’s rim.
He could clearly feel an unusual vitality brewing in the pit.
Despite its extre weakness...
Despite its eerie nature...
Ling Guzi, solely focused on the pinnacle of dical arts, cared not for those trivial matters.
"Qing, I’m going to check the pit’s bottom, guard this spot for ."
He whispered a soft instruction to the Bronze Giant Snake before fearlessly jumping into the pit.
During this mont, a trace of human-like concern appeared on the Bronze Giant Snake’s face.
As perhaps the smartest Bronze Beast in the world, the Bronze Giant Snake had long shed the "tool" label.
Its spirituality might not match humans or Spirit Monsters, but it outsmarted most wild beasts.
Upon reaching the pit’s edge.
The Bronze Giant Snake sensed that faint and strange aura.
Yet it couldn’t speak to warn, rely watching as Ling Guzi leaped into the abyss.
Of course, given Ling Guzi’s character and determination,
even if the Bronze Giant Snake could speak, listening was not guaranteed.
Swoosh!
As he thought about it, the Bronze Giant Snake scattered its body.
Composed of bronze blocks and wheels, its body separated into parts, each segnt occupying different places.
Should anyone enter this zone, the Bronze Giant Snake would instantly reassemble and silently hunt them down.
This was the Bronze Giant Snake’s greatest asset.
Ordinary people wouldn’t even notice its irregularly dispersed body resembling rocks.
Even if soone noticed the bronze blocks and wheels,
without witnessing it firsthand, they wouldn’t believe it to be a living creature.
In so sense, the Bronze Giant Snake wasn’t even alive.
It had neither a soul nor wisdom; even the faint spirituality was from a Life Talisman and Elite Qi.
