"Just because she unintentionally perford the Heavenly Person Transformation once..." Lu Youlian neither denied nor admitted it, simply cautioning, "Using it once led to a lifelong mistake... and even cost her own life..."
It was more than just a lifelong mistake. It truly affected three people...
Wang Mu shook his head.
If it hadn’t been for Ning Xiao, theoretically, Master Lu should have ended up with the Sect Master, an inseparable pair...
Now, with Ning Xiao dead because of Sect Master Jian, the Sect Master had realized the person he’d been in love with for over half a year wasn’t who he’d thought. And yet, that person had died because of him...
When the Sect Master returned and saw Master Lu again, he probably found it difficult to overco the turmoil in his heart...
Such torture.
Master Lu cautioned, "Let the precedent set by your Master be a lesson for you. Be very cautious when using the Transformation Skill."
Wang Mu nodded and left Hidden Sword Peak.
After learning the Transformation Skill, Wang Mu barely managed to master the Heavenly Person Transformation by the end of May, incidentally also maxing out his Li Fire Burning Bright Sword Technique.
「Early June.」
A change occurred in Travel.
"[Travel: ...Glazed Lake(!)...]"
"Huh!"
It seems to be a follow-up event related to Little Jiao Huo...
Wang Mu pinched his chin.
Wang Mu hadn’t practiced the Mountain and Sea Body Refining Technique frequently over the past six months, and when he went to the Bottom of Yunlai Creek for cultivation, he hadn’t asked it to act as his protector.
He wondered how it had been doing during this half year?
Thinking of this little fellow, Wang Mu couldn’t help but consider that if it weren’t for it, Bi You wouldn’t have found him so quickly...
"Then it’s perfect. I’ll take a trip to Glazed Lake to see it."
Wang Mu rose on his sword, flying towards Glazed Lake.
With Wang Mu’s current speed, it took only a day to reach the location.
Glazed Lake was indeed a beautiful place.
Vast blue waves rippled, and clouds drifted like celestial mist. It looked like an ocean, yet it was surrounded by mountains—truly a great lake.
It was considered a stronghold of the Water Clan on the Huangtian Continent.
However, when he arrived this ti, he found that, for so reason, the surroundings were densely packed with Shrimp Soldiers and Crab Generals, rfolk, and giant sharks.
Rings of floral-like clusters spirally surrounded the vast lake in a peculiar arrangent. It looked as if a ceremony was being held, or perhaps so grand celebration. These clusters tightly encircled the center, making it strangely impenetrable and exceptionally odd.
"What’s going on here?"
Wang Mu’s heart chilled.
He moved to a corner and blew the conch Little Jiao Huo had given him.
This conch was from Little Jiao Huo. As long as one blew it near Glazed Lake, or even a bit farther away, the little fellow would sense it.
Having accompanied him in practicing the Mountain and Sea Body Refining Technique for so long, Wang Mu genuinely missed it.
WHOOO...
The sound of the conch slowly spread, the low call of the horn resonating far.
At that mont, BOOM!
A gigantic Sharp Shark spirit burst out from the water.
This creature was extrely huge, at least seven or eight ters long. Its tail resembled a large cattail fan, powerfully arched, and its fins were like two massive fists. The shark’s head was abnormally swollen, giving it a rather miserable appearance.
Shortly afterward, a similarly vast turtle was blasted out from the water’s surface.
That was likely a Water Turtle Monster from Glazed Lake. Its massive shell showed nurous cracks, from so unknown powerful attack.
"?"
What’s going on? I only blew the conch... Wang Mu thought.
Wang Mu frowned slightly.
Just as he was about to investigate further, a figure suddenly erged from the lakeshore.
It was an exceedingly handso male... with long blue hair and a slender fishtail. However, his complexion was a bit pale; he was clearly also of the rfolk Clan.
But he was male.
He held a War Fork, his expression alert.
Upon seeing Wang Mu, he paused.
"Are you... Wang Mu?" the rman whispered.
Wang Mu nodded and said, "I ca here looking for Little Jiao... Little Xi. I’m its friend."
Wang Mu knew that Little Jiao Huo’s nickna was Little Xi; he was just used to calling it Little Jiao Huo.
"..."
The rman’s expression changed slightly. "It’s not here. You should leave."
Saying this, he was about to subrge back into Glazed Lake.
"Wait... what’s going on here?"
Wang Mu was startled.
Could Glazed Lake actually be in trouble?
This rman knew his na and obviously knew Little Jiao Huo.
The rfolk have a human friend, and I have no ill intentions. Even if Little Jiao Huo isn’t here, there’s no need for this attitude...
Wang Mu suspected the rman had misunderstood him.
"I already said it’s not here!" The rman’s deanor chilled. "Hurry up and leave! This isn’t a place for a human cultivator like you."
Seeing this, Wang Mu reluctantly shook his head.
However, just then, a massive tentacle suddenly burst from the bottom of the lake, instantly entwining the rman.
"Daring to sneak out right under our Jiao King’s nose... Oh, and who is this that has co?"
A bizarre, eerie voice echoed from beneath the water. The voice, carried by Divine Thought, had extrely strong penetrative power.
Wang Mu frowned slightly, unsure of the situation.
"General Wu Wang, this is just an outsider," the rman said in a low voice.
"Outsider?"
"How would an outsider have your rfolk Clan’s Bihai Conch? This is sothing very precious to your clan, you know. No wonder the Young Master said he couldn’t find your Little Jiao Girl’s conch signal; it turns out it’s here..."
The rman’s complexion changed drastically.
Wang Mu, however, had figured sothing out. He squinted and looked down towards the water.
"Is Little Xi with you?"
A LOW, GUTTURAL MOAN... From beneath the sea, a howl erupted. The creature released the rman and let out a peculiar, low laugh. "You, bring him in! If you don’t, you know the consequences. He’s a human cultivator; he won’t be able to escape from here..."
With that, the tentacle disappeared.
