An You'er's thoughts, of course, could not be hidden from the ants.
As one of the top disciples in Chenxing Valley, everything about An You'er was actually in the hands of the ants.
The ant can't live if it's allowed to live, nor can it live if it's allowed to die. Even if An You'er keeps expressing his loyalty, in the ant's eyes, it's just an ant happily hopping around, yelling things like "Take care of me, take care of me!"
"Giggle, giggle gurgle"
An You'er quickly figured it out, and a strange series of sounds came out of her throat.
His eyes bulged out, and he felt as if his legs were thin noodles, limp and unable to support his body. With a thud, he staggered and sat down on the ground.
"Is the gap really that big?" he asked himself.
Fang Zong smiled and nodded. "It is indeed very big."
"I'm just trash."
"Slightly better than garbage."
Fang Zong laughed, "You want to do this, and the ant knows you want to do this too. So, to me, you're another trump card the ant gave me to save my life. To be honest, I despise the ant. He's hesitant and indecisive, always looking before he acts. He's like a prostitute trying to build up two virtuous reputations. If I were him, I'd just say it directly: take the risk and get the benefits, or get lost. Two choices, or get out."
An You'er's lips twitched upon hearing this.
That's really decisive.
Over the next few days, An You'er took meticulous care of him, attending to his every need.
He truly considered himself Fang Zong's lackey, and he also understood...
Working for someone as decisive as Fang Zong is definitely better than working for an ant.
With Fang Zong's talent and background, sooner or later he will also become another Dao Spirit Grandmaster.
“Master, just cross another great chasm ahead, and go downstream for thirty miles, and you'll reach the border of the Iron Brush Kingdom. The ferocious beasts on the border are formidable. I'll go and kill one that reigns supreme, hang it here, and then we can sleep peacefully.”
After An You'er finished speaking with Fang Zong, she leaped out just as the moon was high in the sky.
Before the moon had even begun to tilt, he returned carrying a wolf's head. As he hung the wolf's head on a nearby treetop, he happened to see Fang Zong's smiling face.
"Sir, why aren't you resting in the car?"
An You'er asked.
Fang Zong laughed even harder, shushed, and pointed to where the vehicle was.
An You'er quickly looked over and saw a phantom shadow running back and forth beside the vehicle.
The shadow saw An You'er leave, and it also saw Fang Zong leave. Then, after checking around and erasing all traces of itself, it jumped onto the ox pulling the cart.
In the Big World, bulls are particularly important livestock and command high prices.
To put it bluntly, cattle are more expensive than people.
The oxen of Chenxing Valley are even more formidable. Although used for pulling carts, in a vassal state like Tiebi Kingdom, these oxen would be the kind of livestock that could sit on the throne of the martial arts alliance leader. Normally they pull carts obediently, but when they get going, Tiebi Kingdom would have to use its army to subdue them.
But then, the shadow only blew a few breaths, and the bull obediently lowered its head.
"Sir, shall I arrest her?"
An You'er asked Fang Zong.
He was at the Imperial Dao level, while the shadow before him, though possessing some beast-taming abilities, was only at the peak of the fifth transformation of supernatural powers.
They're two major realms apart; he could just grab her by the hair and pull her over.
"Let's see."
Fang Zong watched with great interest.
He saw the shadow go straight to the bull's ear, and after prying open the ear, there was a hole the size of a wine glass in the back, with several thick membranes inside, separated like window lattices.
There was a soft leather canopy hanging over the outside of the window frame, and the middle seemed to be empty.
The shadow pulled out the hairpin, looked around, and then peeled away the thick membrane.
"call"
Suddenly, something resembling a calf flew out from inside the thick membrane, soaring through the night sky and disappearing.
Shadow smirked smugly, then furtively searched everywhere, erasing all traces, completely unaware that Fang Zong and An You'er had been watching everything he did.
"Niu Ling"
An You'er was greatly alarmed.
He reached out his hand, intending to capture the shadow, but Fang Zong shook his head slightly and quickly stopped, watching the shadow sneak away.
"She's just a nobody who's reached the peak of the mortal realm, why bother arguing with her?"
Like that shadow from before, Fang Zong could kill a dozen of them with a backhand.
Too lazy to argue, he chuckled and asked, "What is a cow spirit?"
"The Ox Spirit is formed when a bull, during its cultivation, condenses the negative substances within its body, similar to bezoar, but the opposite. When the Ox Spirit breaks free, all the bulls within a radius of hundreds of miles die of illness. But strangely enough, the bulls used in our Chenxing Valley have long since lost their intelligence and cannot possibly condense an Ox Spirit."
An You'er replied in a low voice, her words not entirely truthful.
Strange, nothing strange about it
Clearly, someone has managed to kill the spirit of the bull without erasing it, and is now releasing the bull's spirit to provoke them.
There must be someone from Hai Muyue, the prime minister of the Iron Pen Kingdom, inside Chenxing Valley.
Fang Zong returned to the vehicle, lay down, and prepared to sleep.
An You'er hesitated for a moment, then said, "Master, I just crossed that great chasm and found Hai Muyue with the Iron Brush Kingdom's army, waiting for you at the border. If we enter the Iron Brush Kingdom like this, taking Niu Ling with us, what about Hai Muyue?"
"What can he do? At most, he'll curse at me a couple of times."
"But if we bring the plague into the country, our reputation in the Iron Pen Kingdom will be ruined. How can you then be the Protector General and Crown Prince?"
"Who said I was going to be the crown prince?"
Fang Zong looked surprised.
An You'er asked in even greater surprise, "Did the Star-Picking Venerable allow you to..."
