Chapter 297 I'm not here to reason with you.
Linfeng County.
In the west of the city, in a secluded alley near an inland river.
Huali and Xiaota sat leisurely on the bench, waiting to be caught like turtles in a jar.
Long before she and Wen Jin returned from Jiangnan, Xi Wu had already found out the whole story.
It really was done by people from the Lingyin Sect.
Bingyue is a ruthless person; as soon as she discovered something amiss, she immediately cut her losses and sought to survive. Huali is still observing what role she plays in this.
But she would never let Biyao and Nongxiao go.
On the other end.
Nongxiao and Biyao walked calmly through the alley, trying to leave Linfeng County, this place of trouble, as soon as possible.
"Senior Sister Biyao, what should we do next?" Nongxiao gripped the flute in her hand tightly.
If only she hadn't listened to Biyao.
Now they can't go back to the Lingyin Sect. She clearly said the method wouldn't work, but Biyao insisted on doing it!
Biyao frowned and said irritably, "What else can we do!" A glint flashed in her eyes, "Do you still remember Xiao Chen from back then?"
“Xiao…Xiao Chen? I remember, but…but wasn’t he an evil cultivator? He’s already been killed by Hua Li…” Nong Xiao regretted it even more when she mentioned this. She was really bewitched. How could she have been so foolish as to believe Bi Yao?
"That's because he's stupid! He planned for years, only to gather the golden core in front of everyone. Who else would die if not him?!"
"If he can harness the dark energy in the Abyss for his own use, then so can we..."
"You're insane!" Nongxiao exclaimed, eyes wide. "The black energy has just been quelled by the major powers, and you're doing this now..."
"It can help us become stronger!!" Biyao's face twisted into a ferocious grin. "You can choose not to go, or stay here and be tortured to death by Huali!"
Nongxiao jumped, "Wait for me, I...I'll go with you!"
"Hey! Where are you rushing off to?"
As soon as they finished speaking, an upside-down face suddenly appeared in front of them.
Playing the xiao (a type of vertical flute) was like seeing a ghost; "Flower, flower, flower... rosewood!"
Biyao's face was also extremely ugly. "It's you again!"
“That’s right,” Karin blinked, “Seeing me, are you surprised or not?”
"Hua... what do you want to do?" Nongxiao's voice trembled with fear.
"Oh, it's nothing serious," Huali jumped to the ground, dusting off her hands. "I just wanted to send you two on your way."
Playing the flute: "!!!"
Compared to Nongxiao, who panicked instantly, Biyao had clearly anticipated this day. Relying on her intangible and colorless Bewitching Charm, she coldly scoffed, "Junior Sister, don't be afraid. We are the direct disciples of the Lingyin Sect. Even if she is powerful, she can't act without reason..."
"Smack—!"
A sharp and precise slap landed on Biyao's face. The force was so great that she slammed into the wall with a dull thud.
"You!" Biyao looked up!
"Smack—!"
As a result, he received an even harder slap in return!
"I say, are you sure you've got the wrong person?" Huali's gaze was sharp as she tilted her head and sneered, "I'm not here to reason with you."
Nongxiao gripped his flute tightly. "If you kill us in Linfeng County, Young Master Mu will definitely seek justice for us!"
"Fairness?" Huali swung her hand back with another large shovel. "Fairness is for those who have a sense of shame, and neither of you has any?"
Putting aside the fact that she is a cultivator from a righteous sect, even an ordinary girl should not have come up with such a vicious method to deal with her, who is also a woman.
If we let them go easily, we will only be raising a tiger to cause trouble.
These two can harm her today, and they can harm someone else tomorrow!
The little tower beside it was already furious, but it was jumping up and down in frustration because Huali had repeatedly forbidden it from using spiritual power!
"Shameless bastards! Karin, kill them!"
Biyao stared at the small tower with eyes like a venomous snake, then slammed her hands on the ground. Countless sharp spikes made of a mixture of sound waves and earth and stone sprang up from under Huali's feet!
Beside her, a flute was held to her lips, accompanied by sharp, piercing sonic waves emitted by Biyao.
One feinted, the other real, both attacks came at Huali at the same time!
"The regenerating soil, rise!"
"Ksitigarbha Entanglement, emerge!"
Huali chuckled, and as her earth-type card transformed into a solid barrier, a massive rock dragon made of rock burst forth from the ground.
The thick dragon's body spiraled upwards in front of Biyao and Nongxiao's wide eyes, hovering just behind Huali, completely enveloping her in shadow.
With a gentle wave of her hand, Huali caused the rock dragon to raise its ferocious head, lock onto the two people in front of it, and let out a deafening roar.
roar--
*
A private room in a riverside teahouse.
Mu Feng sat upright by the window, the heavy look between his brows having dissipated considerably. Only the cough, a result of overusing his source energy, hadn't fully healed.
Across from him, Qi Ran was pushing a small, exquisite jade bottle toward Mu Feng, saying gently, "Young Master, this is for you."
"After finding those herbs, I immediately refined the pills."
How is your mother?
Mu Feng's gaze fell on the porcelain vase on the table, and he nodded with a smile, "My mother's condition is still stable, thank you, Miss Ranran."
The young lord, born into a prominent family in Linfeng County, smiled naturally, revealing no hint of anything amiss.
Leaks often happen over trivial matters, and he has made a promise to keep it.
The fewer people who know about rosewood purifying black energy, the safer it is.
Mu Feng coughed a few times, but instead of accepting the bottle with gratitude as Qi Ran had hoped, he returned it to her.
"Miss Ranran, to be honest, I have been working with the three elders of Medicine King Valley to make medicine. Cough cough... Just recently, we finally developed a pill with effects almost identical to the one you gave me."
Qi Ran's smile faltered. "Researched by Medicine King Valley?"
The black aura clearly came from outside the realm. How can the people of this small world study it?
"But I will always be grateful for Miss Ranran's care." Mu Feng looked at Qi Ran with sincere and open eyes. "If you ever need my help in the future, I will do my best to help you."
Qi Ran glanced at Mu Feng's gaze, which was no different from that of others, and pursed her lips. "Then I truly congratulate you, Young Master..."
"roar--"
A dragon's roar, accompanied by a piercing flute melody, suddenly rang out!
Mu Feng's attention was instantly diverted, and he looked toward the direction from which the sound came.
The Lingyin Sect's cultivation techniques? How could they be so frenzied?
"Miss Ranran, please make yourself at home. I must take my leave now." He immediately stood up and formed a hand seal.
At the same time—Qi Ran suddenly felt a sharp pain in her heart!
This aura… Karin? Her power has actually increased this much?!
Without a second thought, Qi Ran quickly gripped the five cards!
The next second, the deadly sense of oppression was immediately overwhelmed and neutralized by a cold, external force.
As soon as she discovered that this person and the system were not normal, she applied to headquarters for a blocking mechanism.
Although she still lost points, it was enough to keep her own gains and losses in a delicate balance.
Seeing that Mu Feng's figure was about to disappear, Qi Ran immediately stepped forward and grabbed his arm, "I will go with Shao Jun."
"Miss Ranran, hold on tight."
In the blink of an eye, the two appeared by the river.
The enormous rock dragon was heading straight for Biyao playing the flute. With a sweep of its tail, the two of them were sent flying, spitting out a mouthful of blood!
"Huali, well done!!" Xiao Ta and Ao Bai cheered from the sidelines!
"Meow meow meow meow!!"
Mu Feng's pupils dilated slightly in surprise.
Just as he was about to intervene, he suddenly stopped in his tracks when he saw the girl in the dragon's shadow.
At this moment, Biyao and Nongxiao had completely endured the beating from Huali, their faces filled with despair and fear, a stark contrast to their stubborn demeanor just moments before.
Nongxiao knelt on the ground, kowtowing repeatedly, "Huali...we were wrong! We know we were wrong! Please...don't kill us!"
Biyao, however, remained defiant, her neck stiff, "Even if we were in the wrong first... but, but you didn't..."
"Smack—!"
As the merciless slap rang out, Wen Tingyun, who was hiding behind a tree not far away, raised an eyebrow slightly.
It seems this little butterfly has not only emerged from its cocoon, but it's also poisonous.
"Bullshit!" Hua Li's eyes flashed with even more murderous intent. "My being alright is my own skill, what does it have to do with you harming me!"
Too lazy to waste any more words on these people, Yanlong opened his mouth wide and bit the two of them!
Just as the claws were about to pierce their bodies—
"stop!"
A sharp female voice rang out!
Immediately, a massive barrier enveloped Nongxiao and Biyao!
But it only managed to hold off the dragon for a few breaths before the rock dragon bit it, leaving a crack!
"Who are you to meddle in other people's business?" Hua Li turned her head irritably, only to meet Qi Ran's complicated expression.
Karin: "??"
Huali: "!!"
Wait a minute, is this Qi Ran really that bad?
