Chapter 54: Lure the Tiger Away from the Mountain
Tang Xiaoyun was stunned and looked behind him hurriedly.
The next second, a man in purple clothes and with his face covered walked out from behind a tree.
Tang Xiaoyun's eyes widened immediately, and he pointed at the man in purple and said, "He's the mastermind behind this!"
Mo Yu turned around and sneered at the man in purple, "I let you run away last time, but I didn't expect you to dare to come to me."
The purple-robed man snorted coldly, leaped up, and uttered a harsh word: "Follow me if you dare!"
"Where are you running to!" Mo Yu hurriedly caught up and said to Tang Xiaoyun, "Wait for me here, don't run around."
In a few breaths, Mo Yu's figure disappeared from sight along with the man in purple.
"Hey hey hey..." Tang Xiaoyun chased forward a few steps and then stopped, pouting and muttering, "You left me behind again, bullying me because I don't know martial arts."
Upon hearing this, the system mercilessly complained: [You won't be able to help anyway, you'll just be a burden.]
"If you don't speak, no one will think you are dumb."
He walked to a tree and sat down, half lying down. He picked up a dead branch from the ground and put it in his mouth, mumbling, "Just wait, I can catch up on some sleep."
After saying this, he put his hands behind his head, closed his eyes, and looked leisurely.
Seeing him catching up on his sleep, the system also yawned, smacked its lips, and fell asleep.
Little did they know that danger was approaching quietly.
Yue Tianxiao stepped closer to the sleeping Tang Xiaoyun, nudged him gently with his foot, and called out, "Hey, wake up."
However, Tang Xiaoyun was the type of person who, once in a trance, would not wake up even if he was taken away and sold.
"Tsk, he's sleeping so soundly, it saves me a lot of effort."
After saying that, Yue Tianxiao bent down, picked up Tang Xiaoyun, carried him on his shoulders, jumped up and disappeared into the woods.
On the other side, Mo Yu, who was chasing the purple-clothed man, quickly blocked his way with a cold look in his eyes: "Tell me, who are you?!"
The man in purple stopped in time, but turned around and ran without saying a word.
Mo Yu sneered: "Still want to run away? If you don't want to tell me, then stay!"
After saying that, Mo Yu raised his palm and slapped the purple-clothed man on the back.
The man in purple sensed the danger and suddenly turned around to clash with him with his palm. However, he was no match for Mo Yu at all as he responded in a hurry.
After being knocked back several meters by Mo Yu's palm, he spat out a mouthful of blood and covered his chest, obviously suffering internal injuries.
Mo Yu was not feeling well either. He had to use his internal energy to suppress the snake venom. As soon as he mobilized his internal energy, the snake venom took the opportunity to rush up.
In addition, the palm strike from the man in purple also caused him to suffer some minor injuries.
However, he saw the clue.
"You are not the same person as before, who are you?"
He had fought with the man in purple before. The man had strong internal strength and was obviously at ease when fighting him. He was not as weak as the man in front of him.
Upon hearing this, the man in purple raised his hand to wipe the blood off his mask without answering.
"Why don't you speak..."
Mo Yu suddenly stopped, and the scene of his conversation with the man in purple that day emerged in his mind.
The voice that sounded like a man or a woman was particularly special. Thinking back to when the person in front of me spoke just now, it was obviously not the same voice I heard then.
Thinking about it carefully, it seemed that the other party had deliberately led him here.
He suddenly looked back in the direction he came from and suddenly realized: Oh no, I've fallen into a trap!
He didn't bother to ask the true identity of the man in purple, and jumped towards Tang Xiaoyun.
Seeing him fly away, the man in purple removed his veil. It was none other than Mu Qianheng, the current leader of Quanzhen Sect.
He looked at the direction where Mo Yu was going and murmured softly, "When did such a master appear in the martial arts world? He could injure me so badly with just one palm."
If he hadn't known that this person was following Tang Xiaoyun, he wouldn't have devised a plan to lure the tiger away from the mountain.
Fortunately, this person values Tang Xiaoyun, otherwise he might not come back today.
He dropped his veil and walked towards the Quanzhen Sect.
Mo Yu hurried back to the place where he and Tang Xiaoyun separated, but Tang Xiaoyun was nowhere to be found.
"Xiaoyun? Xiaoyun, where are you?"
He looked around but couldn't even find Tang Xiaoyun.
"hateful!"
He was so angry that he punched the tree trunk and spat out a mouthful of black blood.
He hurriedly rolled up his sleeves. The snake venom, which was originally only in the bend of his arm, began to spread upwards due to the mobilization of his internal energy and his anger. Judging from the trend, it was going straight to his heart.
He quickly sat cross-legged and practiced the Blood Demon Technique to suppress the snake venom back into the crook of his arm. After doing all this, he released a wisp of demonic energy, which instantly transformed into a crow.
"Mountain Eagle, come to Linbian Town quickly."
After saying that, he waved his hand, and the crow immediately came to life and flew away.
On the other side, in the Quanzhen Sect's meeting hall, Tang Xiaoyun was lying on the ground with his legs spread out, snoring loudly.
Mu Qianheng, Yue Tianxiao, and the others stood around. Lu Qingya stared at Tang Xiaoyun lying on the ground and said, "This kid can really sleep. Do we have to wait for him to wake up?"
"Don't panic, wake him up right away." After saying that, Mu Qianheng turned around, picked up the hot tea that his disciple had just brewed, and poured it at Tang Xiaoyun without saying a word.
"Ah! It's so hot, so hot, so hot! Someone throw boiling water on me!!"
Tang Xiaoyun suddenly sat up from the ground in shock, patting his body in a panic and fanning his collar, as if this could relieve the pain of the burned area.
"Oh! You're so brave, you even dare to call yourself Laozi."
Suddenly, voices came from above his head. Tang Xiaoyun stopped fanning his clothes and looked up suddenly. He saw five or six heads forming a circle, looking down at him.
“I’ll go!”
He moved his butt back, and only after he had distanced himself from them could he see their faces clearly.
"Mu Qianheng, Yue Tianxiao, Lu Qingya, what are you doing...wait a minute, where is this?"
He hurriedly stood up and looked around, seeing the solemn and magnificent meeting hall.
Hearing his words, Mu Qianheng sneered and said, "You're quite perceptive enough to recognize us."
Tang Xiaoyun was shocked: [Oops, I let it slip!]
He put on the appearance of a street scoundrel and laughed, "You are all well-known big shots. A commoner like me has naturally heard of your names. I just don't know what you big shots want to do with a small person like me. If you want me to do laundry, cook, and clean the yard, I have to pay you."
After hearing Tang Xiaoyun's words, several people looked at each other and suddenly laughed out loud.
“Pfft, hahahahaha…”
After laughing, Mu Qianheng said with a cold face: "Little person? You are not a little person. We have spent a lot of effort to catch you."
Tang Xiaoyun's heart began to beat wildly, but he remained calm and said, "Haha, why are you arresting me?"
He thought he could get away with it this way, but Mu Qianheng's next words made it impossible for him to maintain his composure.
"Tang Xiaoyun, the eldest son of the Tang Clan and Tan Tai Lie's male concubine, sneaked out of the Heavenly Demon Cult half a month ago. Now the Heavenly Demon Cult is sending people everywhere to look for you. Am I wrong?"
Tang Xiaoyun stared at the few people warily, slowly moving backwards, but in his heart he anxiously summoned the system: [System, how did I get caught here? What are you doing here?]
The system pouted and cried, "Wuwuwu, host, I fell asleep too. I didn't notice the danger in time. It's my fault..."
Tang Xiaoyun was furious: [You idiot, what should I do now?]
