Chapter 230 Kill Him to the Ground
Upon hearing this, Shi Ling jumped three feet high and asked in disbelief, "You, you want to take me in?"
Huo Qinghuang nodded and said calmly: "Why, you don't want to?"
"Yes! Of course!"
Shi Ling quickly agreed, fearing that Huo Qinghuang would go back on his word.
Although it knew nothing about Kong Xuan's identity, it knew that the woman in front of it was extremely powerful, and following her was much better than wandering blindly on its own.
Seeing it agreed so readily, Huo Qinghuang couldn't help but chuckle: "In that case, from now on, you will follow me. However, I'll be frank with you. If you dare to have second thoughts, don't blame me for being rude."
Shi Ling quickly swore, "I dare not! I will be loyal and have no second thoughts!"
Huo Qinghuang nodded with satisfaction, then put away the Mountain-Trapping Axe, turned around and walked away.
Seeing this, Shi Ling hurriedly followed and asked as he walked, "Um, Master... Miss, where are we going now?"
It originally wanted to find a new master, but felt sorry for Kong Xuan, so it changed its name and called her Miss Huo Qinghuang.
Huo Qinghuang said without even turning her head: "Of course, follow me home."
Shi Ling, like a child, instantly forgot about what happened before and laughed happily: "Hehe, that's great! I can finally leave this damn place!"
Huo Qinghuang put away the Mountain-Trapping Axe and turned to walk out of the passage.
The stone spirit followed behind her, flying around excitedly, like a bird that had just gained freedom.
After walking out of the passage, Huo Qinghuang stood in front of the stone gate, looked back at the gloomy cave, and sighed in his heart.
Although she gained a lot this time, she also realized that there were far more secrets hidden in this cave.
"The runes on the altar and the patterns on the stone door don't look like Taoist methods. They look more like witchcraft."
Huo Qinghuang guessed secretly in her heart, but she had no intention of pursuing it further.
After all, the purpose of her trip had been achieved, and the most important thing next was to leave here as soon as possible to avoid meeting Wu Chenzi and others.
She stepped out of the cave. It was already dark outside. A cold mountain wind whistled past, bringing a bit of bone-chilling chill.
Huo Qinghuang looked up at the sky and found that it was covered with dark clouds and it seemed like it would rain at any time.
"We have to get down the mountain quickly."
She thought to herself and then quickened her pace.
However, just as she took a few steps, a burst of hurried footsteps suddenly came from not far away.
Huo Qinghuang frowned and thought to herself, "Oh no, someone is coming."
She flashed and quickly hid in a shadow on the mountain wall.
A moment later, several figures walked over quickly.
The leader was a middle-aged man in Taoist robes, who was Wu Chenzi from Sanqing Palace.
Behind him were several disciples from Sanqing Palace, each with a look of fatigue on their face.
Not long after, several people hurried out again.
Wu Chenzi frowned and said, "It seems that we are still a step too late. The treasure has been taken away."
Upon hearing this, the disciples behind him all showed disappointment on their faces.
One of the disciples couldn't help but ask: "Master, what should we do next?"
Wu Chenzi pondered for a moment and said slowly: "Since the rare treasure has been taken away, there is no need for us to stay here any longer.
However, this person was able to break through the altar's defenses, so he is obviously not an ordinary person. We need to pay more attention when we return, perhaps he will appear again."
"Brother, could it be that Fellow Daoist Huo took the rare treasure away?"
Another middle-aged Taoist asked.
This person is Wu Chenzi’s junior fellow apprentice and one of the elders of Sanqing Palace, and his Taoist name is Wuwangzi.
This person was thoughtful and quickly thought of Huo Qinghuang.
In his opinion, no outsider knew the purpose of their trip, and the only outsider was Huo Qinghuang.
She is very powerful and the most suspicious.
Hearing this, Wu Chenzi pondered for a while, shook his head, and said: "It's hard to say. The Zhongyuan Festival has just passed, and the major Taoist sects have a lot of manpower in the imperial capital. Who knows if our whereabouts have been leaked? As for whether it was Fellow Daoist Huo, we will know in the future."
Huo Qinghuang was hiding in the shadows. When she heard Wu Chenzi's words, she secretly curled her lips.
She did not intend to have a head-on conflict with the people from Sanqing Palace. After all, she had an agreement with Sanqing Palace. If she showed up at this time, it would inevitably cause unnecessary trouble.
Only after Wu Chenzi and others left did Huo Qinghuang walk out from the shadows.
She looked at the direction Wu Chenzi and the others left, thinking to herself: "It seems that I have to give Sanqing Palace some benefits in the future to repay this karma."
Without further delay, she quickly left the cave and rushed down the mountain.
However, what she didn't know was that shortly after she left, an illusory figure suddenly appeared on the altar in the cave.
The figure was blurry and seemed to disappear at any moment, but its eyes were fixed on the direction where Huo Qinghuang left. It muttered to itself, "The phoenix has appeared. Could it be that the prophecy will come true soon?"
"Hahaha, if that's the case, I will be able to return to the human world soon and kill him to pieces!"
The phantom laughed wildly with excitement, his eyes gradually turned blood red, revealing a chilling murderous intent.
"Miss, how far is the imperial capital from here? It's in the middle of nowhere, are we just going to walk back like this?"
Shi Ling flew to Huo Qinghuang's shoulder and asked in a low voice.
Huo Qinghuang smiled faintly: "Of course I'll take a car."
"In a carriage? Oh, it would be nice if you could fly."
Shi Ling sighed with an air of old-fashionedness: "Back then, when the five elements divine light came together under the master's feet, the stars moved and the sky changed. He even saved the trouble of riding a mount."
Huo Qinghuang turned her head and glanced at it calmly, gritting her teeth and said, "Do you want to wander alone? If you want, I can give you a ride!"
"Well……"
Shi Ling knew that he had said the wrong thing and quickly shut up.
But it has been lonely for thousands of years and has been feeling suffocated. It is really difficult for it to keep silent.
So when Huo Qinghuang took out her phone to call Da Liu, it was so shocked that it started to chatter again: "Miss, what are you holding? Why can it talk? And, isn't the carriage driven here? Why do you want it to drive over here..."
It had quite a few problems, which gave Huo Qinghuang a headache.
She glanced at Shi Ling with contempt, and the corners of her mouth twitched slightly.
If you don’t even know about mobile phones and cars, then you’ve lived in vain for thousands of years.
Unlike her, who has only been in the world for a short time and is now very familiar with using a mobile phone. When she has time, she can learn to drive, so she won't have to fly around all the time and be photographed and looked at like a monkey on the Internet.
Shi Ling waited for a long time but Huo Qinghuang didn't answer. Just as he was about to continue asking, he got stuck and stammered, "Then, what is that?"
Not far away, Da Liu was driving slowly towards us. The black body of his car almost blended into the night, with only two headlights emitting a dazzling light.
Shi Ling opened his eyes wide, staring at the approaching car, as if he had seen some prehistoric beast, and his body trembled slightly uncontrollably.
