Chapter 413 What Sin Have I Done?
Tushan Yuhua couldn't bear to see the two of them "arguing" like this, so she coughed lightly and slowly walked out from her hiding place.
"How long are you two going to quarrel? Aren't you afraid that others will hear you and make you laugh?"
He crossed his arms across his chest, a teasing look on his face.
When Huo Qinghuang and Ao Jiu heard the voice, they were both startled and turned to look at Tushan Yuhua at the same time.
But when they saw Zhang Tianshi beside him, their faces froze again.
Huo Qinghuang stroked her hair nonchalantly and said, "Fellow Daoist Zhang, you've come at the right time. Let's judge the matter. What crime should this short-tailed dragon be punished for stealing my medicinal herbs?"
"Your herbs?"
Ao Jiu sneered: "If it weren't for this prince cooperating in the play, could you have deceived me like this?"
Zhang Tianshi's face turned from white to blue, then from blue to red, and finally remained pale.
He suddenly covered his chest and staggered back two steps: "I, what sin have I committed..."
A trace of embarrassment flashed across Huo Qinghuang's face.
Ao Jiu snorted nonchalantly, and the thousand-year-old blood ginseng in his hand disappeared instantly, as if it had never appeared.
"Why are you here?"
He looked at the two of them, raised an eyebrow and asked, with a glimmer of scrutiny in his eyes.
Tushan Yuhua rolled her eyes: "If I hadn't followed you, I don't know what the two of you are doing here."
He glanced at the bag in Huo Qinghuang's hand and said, "After receiving so many benefits, you plan to divide them among yourself? You really don't take me seriously at all."
When Huo Qinghuang heard this, she immediately hugged the bag tightly, her eyelids slightly raised: "We got these with great difficulty, what does it have to do with you?"
Tushan Yuhua snorted coldly: "I am not interested in your crappy medicinal materials, but this matter cannot be let go.
You two have fooled everyone around, and now you want to just walk away. It's not that easy."
Ao Jiu narrowed his eyes slightly, and a dangerous light flashed in his eyes.
"If this prince wants their medicinal herbs, it is their honor. Who dares to speak up in front of this prince?"
He raised his chin slightly, and his aura suddenly became fierce. The power of a true dragon was looming, and the air around him seemed to tremble.
Tushan Yuhua was not afraid at all and faced Ao Jiu calmly.
As they were both divine beasts, how could he, a great nine-tailed celestial fox, be afraid of the other?
Zhang Tianshi had recovered by now. Looking at the two men who were on the verge of a fight, he thought to himself that something was not right.
"It's a rare opportunity for you all to come out into the world, so why hurt the harmony?"
He wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and hurried forward to smooth things over.
Then he turned to Huo Qinghuang and Ao Jiu, with a trace of helplessness on his face: "What you two did is indeed inappropriate. Although you have your own considerations, you shouldn't deceive everyone like this."
After these words were spoken, Ao Jiu didn't react at all, but Tushan Yuhua's eyes became fierce and she stared at Zhang Tianshi.
"I have a pretty good eye, haha..."
Zhang Tianshi was so frightened by his gaze that he laughed dryly, almost saying openly, "I've known for a long time that you are not a human being."
Tushan Yuhua's eyes flashed with a cold light, and nine fox tails were faintly visible behind him: "As expected of a contemporary Heavenly Master, you have a good eye."
"Nine-tailed fox?!"
Zhang Tianshi's voice even changed its tone.
He stared with wide eyes at the nine fox tails faintly visible behind Tushan Yuhua, and the fingers holding the sword of evil-slaying trembled constantly.
Even in the golden age of ancient times when Nascent Souls were everywhere and Golden Elixirs were worth less than dogs, the Nine-tailed Heavenly Fox was still a legendary existence.
It has noble bloodline and powerful strength. Every time a nine-tailed fox appears in the world, it will cause a sensation.
Unexpectedly, the seemingly ordinary Tushan Yuhua in front of him turned out to be the nine-tailed celestial fox.
Tushan Yuhua was very satisfied with Zhang Tianshi's reaction.
He raised his head slightly, and nine fox tails swayed gently behind him, exuding a noble and mysterious aura.
"That's enough, it's just a little fox, not even a Daluo Jinxian, what's there to brag about?"
At this moment, Ao Jiu's slightly disdainful voice sounded faintly, and Tushan Yuhua's face changed instantly.
"So what?"
He glanced at Ao Jiu with cold eyes and said sarcastically, "You speak as if you are a Daluo Jinxian. This Saint Son is also a Taiyi Jinxian after all, and you, I'm afraid you have only just emerged from your shell not long ago, right?"
As he spoke, he deliberately looked Ao Jiu up and down, his gaze undisguised.
"you!"
Ao Jiu was furious and said angrily: "This prince is..."
"Ao Jiu!"
Huo Qinghuang shouted, stopping him from continuing.
This stupid dragon, if he continues talking, all his secrets will be exposed.
Ao Jiu swallowed back the words that were about to come out of his mouth after being scolded by Huo Qinghuang.
He glared at Tushan Yuhua fiercely, but could only suppress his anger temporarily.
Then he glanced at Huo Qinghuang again, with a hint of grievance in his eyes.
Huo Qinghuang: "..."
Seeing Ao Jiu being defeated, Tushan Yuhua raised the corners of his mouth slightly, revealing a smug smile, and his nine fox tails swayed gently behind him, as if showing his victory.
Zhang Tianshi had not yet recovered from his shock.
He looked at Ao Jiu, then at Tushan Yuhua, and thought to himself: I wonder what kind of waves this real dragon and the nine-tailed fox will cause when they appear in the world at the same time.
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but think of the prophecy again.
When the dragon and the phoenix appear, all things will return to normal...
The true dragon has appeared, where is the divine phoenix?
"Okay, if you keep making noise, don't blame me for throwing both of you out!"
Huo Qinghuang broke the awkward atmosphere.
She looked at Tushan Yuhua and said, "Tell me, what do you want from me?"
This guy was following her so closely, she didn't believe that he was being so attentive for no reason.
Tushan Yuhua put away the smug look on her face and turned serious.
He frowned slightly and said, "I got the news that the barrier deep in the Ailao Mountain is unstable. Perhaps it is approaching the 100-year deadline and they can no longer bear it."
"Ailao Mountain?"
Zhang Tianshi was completely shocked.
His eyes widened, his voice trembling a little: "Ailao Mountain is a mysterious place that has existed since ancient times. It is said that many great monsters are sealed there. Once the barrier is lost, the consequences will be disastrous."
Tushan Yuhua nodded: "Yes, I am worried about this too, so I thought of going to see what is going on while the seal is still there."
"Fellow Daoist Tushan, is this true or false? This is not something you can take lightly!"
Zhang Tianshi took a deep breath, tried to calm his inner shock and panic, and asked with a frown.
"Don't worry. My source of information can't be false. As for the extent of the situation now, it's hard to say."
Tushan Yuhua said lightly.
Ao Jiu snorted coldly: "Humph, so what if the barrier is unstable? If I were to say, if those big monsters broke through the barrier earlier, maybe the world would be impacted by this and the spiritual energy would be revived earlier."
Huo Qinghuang frowned slightly: "Ailao Mountain? Who can tell me what kind of place it is?"
This question caused the scene to suddenly become quiet.
