Once outside the cave, looking back, everything was obscured by the hazy night, but one could vaguely sense that the mountaintop opposite seemed to have collapsed considerably.
"Great! Wang has rescued my sister!" White Lotus and Jade emerged from the hazy mist.
They immediately spotted Mo Tian holding Wan'er in his arms and quickly gathered around.
"You've been waiting outside all this time?" Mo Tian was somewhat surprised. Everything that had just happened was too sudden, and he hadn't noticed where Bai He Bi Yu had gone.
“We,” Biyu glanced at Baihe, looking somewhat embarrassed, “our spiritual power is a bit weak. We went in for a while and then couldn’t see you anymore, so we had to come out.”
"It's alright, thank you for bringing me here. Let's go back together." Looking at Wan'er in his arms, Mo Tian's eyes were full of concern, and he walked away.
“Okay,” Bai He and Bi Yu followed beside her…
“We,” said Jiu Yue, Li Er, Xiao Yu, and Xiao Mei, the four of them holding hands, feeling rather awkward. They stopped in their tracks, unsure of where to go next.
"Come on, your masters are all here, do you think you can go anywhere else?" Mercury rolled her eyes at Xiao Mei beside her and took the lead.
“Yes, let’s go.” The four nodded in turn and followed.
Not long after they left, a beam of white light shot out from the cave entrance they had just left, and a white figure appeared where they had stood. One right arm slowly rose, and a red bead appeared in the palm of the hand. The red light illuminated a greasy face, and a wicked smile appeared on the fat white face. "It seems that it is time for this steward to find a wise new master."
With a "whoosh," a ray of white light quickly disappeared into the darkness...
On a hilltop, inside a stone pagoda, stood a short, stout man dressed in black silk and adorned with gold and silver. This man was none other than Boss Tong, Wen Long's capable assistant.
Boss Tong stood at the very bottom of the pagoda, on a spacious ground in the very center. Looking up, he saw a smooth stone wall directly in front of him, the mist on the wall gradually dissipating.
At this moment, fluorescent light flickered on the stone wall, and amidst the dispersing white mist, half of Wenlong's figure floated.
His face was gloomy, his eyes were piercing, and he was coldly looking at Boss Tong. "I haven't been feeling too good lately."
"Thump!" Boss Tong knelt down, prostrating himself on the ground, not daring to raise his head, "Little Tong has served my king with utmost loyalty and devotion..."
The air was still, the atmosphere heavy and oppressive, a damp and chilly feeling that made it hard to breathe...
"Recently, Firebird's behavior seems normal, but I always feel that something is wrong, yet I can't quite put my finger on it," Wen Long said, finally breaking the silence with a gulp. "What do you think about this?"
The Spirit King is suspicious of the firebird, and my chance has come! Boss Tong was secretly delighted.
"Are you referring to Lord Firebird? If that's the case, I've had the same thought for a while now, and I wanted to say it, but I was afraid of upsetting you."
"Really? Tell me then." Wen Long closed his eyes, his expression unreadable.
"I remember the King said Lord Firebird's abilities were mediocre, but I don't think so. From my observation, when the Lord appears, he seems to be never restricted. Where he goes, he often doesn't report to you. On the surface, the Lord seems foolish and incompetent. But upon closer inspection, he always manages to escape danger, and he almost always completes the tasks the King assigns perfectly. Take this scheme against the Demon King, for example; it was his idea, he was the one who provoked the Demon King..."
