Chen Yi and the others sighed as they looked at their phones. "Boss, it looks like Brother Zuo is dead."
The Three-tailed Fox stood on a tree branch, wagging its tails. It seed very happy.
’That villain is finally dead.’
Xiao Xiaomo also sighed. "The Cultivation Realm is just cruel. He was clearly a dazzling new star on the rise, yet he fell just like that."
Liu Yu said, "So what do we do now?"
The Three-tailed Fox didn’t know what they were going to do. ’But since that villain is dead, does that an I’m free?’
The mont it thought of its freedom, the Three-tailed Fox leaped, jumping away from Xiao Xiaomo and the others.
"Xiaoli, where are you going? You can’t just run off!" Xiao Xiaomo shouted.
The Three-tailed Fox shot Xiao Xiaomo a disdainful look. ’Where am I going?’
’To find so tasty food, of course! What’s the point of staying here? It’s a waste of ti. I’ll head back after I’ve eaten my fill. As for the way back, I’ll just find it eventually.’
With this in mind, the Three-tailed Fox prepared to leave. Xiao Xiaomo tried to grab it, but the fox easily dodged her.
It then adopted a taunting expression that seed to say, "Co on, co and get ! If you catch , I’ll go back with you."
After teasing Xiao Xiaomo and the others a couple of tis, the Three-tailed Fox grew bored and decided to leave for real.
But it had only taken two steps when the sky suddenly went dark. The mont it looked up, it discovered in horror that sothing was crashing down on it.
BANG!!!
The Three-tailed Fox was smashed right into the ground.
It was a Shield.
The Shield was then lifted. "Are you trying to get yourself killed?"
The faint voice and emotionless expression made the Three-tailed Fox on the ground tremble in fear.
’Didn’t they say this villain was dead?’
’Why is he here? I’m screwed, I’m so screwed. I’m going to die.’
Jiang Zuo looked at the Three-tailed Fox and said, "It seems you still have too much energy."
Without giving the Three-tailed Fox any ti to react, Jiang Zuo brutally smashed it with the Shield another ten or so tis.
Jiang Zuo only stopped when the Three-tailed Fox could barely breathe.
Xiao Xiaomo and the others, who were watching from the side, were completely stunned. Jiang Zuo being alive was one thing, but more importantly, Xiaoli had been beaten half to death. If Gu Jiansheng found out about this, wouldn’t he co here with his sword drawn to kill him?
Xiao Xiaomo glanced at Jiang Zuo and asked, "Brother Zuo, you... you’re not dead?"
"Was I supposed to be dead?" Jiang Zuo retorted.
Xiao Xiaomo: "..."
’Did I just say sothing incredibly stupid?’ she thought. She could only brace herself and explain, "Among the vines, your figure vanished. And when the fog rolled in, the vines stopped moving.
We all thought you’d been killed."
"Oh," Jiang Zuo said faintly. "The vines stopped because it escaped."
As he spoke, Jiang Zuo grabbed the Three-tailed Fox, tossed it onto a tree branch, and added, "Is anyone from the group coming over?"
Chen Yi subconsciously replied, "Probably not. It seems like they’re planning to build a Clothes Tomb for you."
Jiang Zuo’s hand stilled. He then said, "Is that so? Should I send them a couple of outfits?"
Chen Yi and the others: "..."
Perception No. 1 Group
Demon Cultivator Mo Yan: "I found a pretty good spot. The Feng Shui is excellent."
Chi Xue Child was surprised. "Since when do you know about Feng Shui?"
Demon Cultivator Mo Yan sent a smug, long-nosed emoji. "Did you forget? My master was the one who set up the Chen Family’s Feng Shui Formation. I’ve inherited all of my master’s true knowledge.
This place is really perfect for building a Clothes Tomb for Boss Po Xiao."
Po Xiao: "Does a Clothes Tomb need clothes? Is one set enough? If not, how about two?"
Demon Cultivator Mo Yan: "One set is enough."
But a few seconds later, Mo Yan’s ssage disappeared. A new line of text appeared on the chat screen:
_Demon Cultivator Mo Yan retracted a ssage._
Then Po Xiao sent another ssage: "I’ve also studied Feng Shui Arrays a bit. Need to co over and take a look for you?"
Fairy Mo Yan: "Ah, Boss Po Xiao, what happened? I was just cultivating. I think I was on the verge of a Qigong Deviation, so I’m not sure what I might have done.
You know how easily Nightmares can affect .
If you don’t believe , ask Liuyue Xue and Liu Yiyi. They’re right here with .
Besides, whenever I have a demonic episode, I like to change my nickna to Demon Cultivator Mo Yan.
This is the real now.
Haha, haha."
Sowhere else, Mo Yan was hugging Liuyue Xue and crying. "Just now, I actually had the feeling that I was a goner. Quick, comfort .
I’m so scared right now."
Liuyue Xue and Liu Yiyi: "..."
"I’m calling Chi Xue Child to co over. You two are useless."
Chi Xue Child was speechless when he received the call.
Then, Chi Xue Child said to Zi Feng, "Senior Brother, Mo Yan is asking for help."
Zi Feng gazed at a giant tree and said faintly, "Is it a real ergency or a fake one?"
Chi Xue Child thought for a mont. "It’s probably a fake one."
"Then you go. I have to figure out how to get this tree back. Call again if there’s real danger."
Resigned, Chi Xue Child had no choice but to go find Mo Yan and the others by himself.
Jiang Zuo looked at the group chat interface and didn’t plan on arguing with Mo Yan. It’s not like he had nothing better to do. Besides, he needed to leave this place.
Just then, Blade Master Hai Bian sent a ssage: "Fellow Daoist Po Xiao, you’re all right?"
Jiang Zuo sent back a single word: "Mm."
"..."
’Alright, that’s a boss for you.’
At this point, Chen Yi explained the situation to the group, using Jiang Zuo’s exact words.
Liuyue Xue sent a curious emoji. "Escaped? What was it?"
Po Xiao: "The Ten Thousand Leaves Immortal Spirit. Does anyone know about it?"
Liuyue Xue: "Never heard of it."
Blade Master Hai Bian: "I’ve never heard of it either."
’It’s not strange that they’ve never heard of it,’ Jiang Zuo thought. ’It would be strange if they had. The Ten Thousand Leaves Immortal Spirit is very likely sothing that has been birthed for the very first ti.’
’Aside from the records in the Immortal Spirit Cave Mansion, there shouldn’t be any information about it elsewhere.’
Jiang Zuo then said to Xiao Xiaomo and the others, "I’m leaving. If you’re planning to stay, I suggest you don’t go near the lakes. Although there are many good things in each lake, with your Cultivation, you won’t fare well.
The things on land are basically harmless."
Chen Yi said, "Don’t worry, Brother Zuo. We found out we actually have a Life-Protecting Treasure on us, so we’re relatively safe here."
Jiang Zuo nodded, then glanced at the fox. The fox limped along after him.
Liu Yu suddenly called out, "Brother Zuo, aren’t you going the wrong way?"
Although they didn’t have a map, their sense of direction was decent. The exit was indeed in a different direction from where Jiang Zuo was heading.
Jiang Zuo said faintly, "Who told you I ca in through your entrance?"
After that, Jiang Zuo paid them no more mind.
Xiao Xiaomo sighed. "Try not to embarrass yourself in the future."
"..."
******
In the cave mansion beneath the cliff, Jingyue frowned as she looked at her phone.
Su Qi asked curiously, "Why do you keep staring at it? Aren’t you going to study the Array anymore?"
"No, it’s just... what you said earlier reminded . The two mysterious people might just be one person."
"And?"
"And? And that ans this person clearly left, but then suddenly rushed back in. He didn’t even want the inheritance. What could possibly be worth risking his life to snatch?"
Su Qi was curious. "Do you have a clue, Senior Sister?"
"Mm," Jingyue nodded. "I was reminded of sothing recorded in the Holy Land’s archives. The more I look at this, the more it fits."
