"Junior Brother Su, have you met Junior Brother Sun?" a senior sister who had originally teamed up with Sun Xiaotian asked timidly. She was aware of the conflict between Su Rui and Sun Xiaotian, but now that Sun Xiaotian's whereabouts were unknown, Su Rui's strength forced her to place her hopes on him.
At this time, Su Rui had already put away his divine ape body and transformed back into a graceful young man. Hearing the question from this senior sister, he pretended to be surprised: "Is Senior Brother Sun here too?"
Zhang Beiyang and Yu Shuangshuang had witnessed him pull Sun Xiaotian out of the Fire Crow Formation and send him flying with a flick of his finger. Seeing his innocent look, their eyes twitched, but they knew Su Rui had shown mercy by not killing him outright, so they didn't intend to say anything more.
The two sisters who asked the question didn't notice the change in Zhang Beiyang and Yu Shuangshuang's expressions. After hearing Su Rui's words, they responded, "Junior Brother Sun was sucked into the formation with the two of us. Although he has many magic weapons, he is facing such a brutal enemy. We don't know whether he will live or die!"
As he said this, he sighed.
"Brother Sun looks like someone who will live a long life. He'll be fine!" Su Rui said sincerely. However, since Sun Xiaotian had a golden pillar on his head, like a tortoise shell, Su Rui felt that he would only suffer a little, but would definitely not die.
After putting out the fire in the surrounding mountains, several people ran to the temporary cave of Taoist Fire Crow to search, but found that his temporary cave, which was already extremely simple, had already been ransacked clean, and the black claw beehives outside had all been destroyed, and there was no black claw wild bee left.
After confirming that nothing was found here, Su Rui and the other five people flew directly to Niutou Town on their swords.
The return journey was very fast. In less than a quarter of an hour, the five people flew back to Niutou Town and saw Yuan Ning holding the corpse of a black-clawed wild bee and observing it carefully.
Seeing that they were covered in dust and one person was missing from the team, Yuan Ning asked about the situation.
Su Rui told the whole story in detail, but concealed the fact that he had fought with Sun Xiaotian.
After hearing this, Yuan Ning was silent for a moment, then said, "That poisonous insect formation should have been set up by the disciples of the Southern Demon Sect of Baiman Mountain. Not many disciples are capable of creating such a large-scale poisonous formation, and mechanical men are the specialty of the Bamboo Mountain Sect. The vine armor mechanical men you mentioned may not be very powerful, but those who can create a Bamboo Mountain Sword Formation are probably among the few in the Bamboo Mountain Sect! Junior Brother Su was able to force them to withdraw the formation on their own, which is truly remarkable!"
Su Rui knew that his fire-type demon body just had the advantage of restraining the poisonous insect, which forced the other party to retreat. He immediately said modestly that it was just "luck."
Yuan Ning responded with "Don't underestimate yourself," and continued, "The Baiman Mountain and Zhushan Sect dared to attack my Qingcheng Sect disciples. After the other junior brothers and sisters return, I will kill them and seek justice for you!"
As he spoke, murderous intent surged between his brows, making Su Rui feel frightened.
Afterwards, Yuan Ning asked Su Rui to take over the dispatching duties in Niutou Town, and he and the two young female senior sisters who were in Sun Xiaotian's team went to the temporary cave of Taoist Huo Ya again to find the whereabouts of Sun Xiaotian.
But half an hour later, Yuan Ning returned to Niutou Town alone. Su Rui learned from him that they had not found any trace of Sun Xiaotian, so the other two sisters had returned to Qingcheng Mountain to seek help from Sun Xiaotian's great-grandfather, Elder Sun.
Yuan Ning was also a little suspicious about Sun Xiaotian's departure. After returning to Niutou Town, he explained the situation to Su Rui and the other two, and then planned to go alone to find the disciples of Baiman Mountain and Zhushan Sect who had set up an ambush for Su Rui and others, to find out whether Sun Xiaotian had been abducted by them.
As the saying goes, "Good people don't live long, bad people live a thousand years." Although Su Rui felt that it was unlikely that Sun Xiaotian was killed or abducted by others, he still wanted to go with Yuan Ning to take a look, so as to prevent the naughty boy Sun Xiaotian from saying bad things about him in front of Yuan Ning after being found.
"Brother Yuan, Brother Zhang and Sister Yu can handle this. If you go alone to find the person who set up the formation, you'll inevitably be outnumbered. If Sister Chi Jiao and I join us, even if we fight, we won't be afraid of being surrounded and attacked. It will definitely be much safer!"
Su Rui had just used the magical power of the Tongbi Shenyuan, and he could not use it again in the short term, so he deliberately pulled the red dragon in as well.
After hearing Su Rui's suggestion, Yuan Ning probably thought that Su Rui and Chi Jiao could just restrain the poisonous insects of Baiman Mountain, so he agreed after just a moment's hesitation.
So, Su Rui and Yuan Ning went to Qingxu Town first, called Chi Jiao, and then flew straight to Baiman Mountain.
At first, Su Rui thought that Yuan Ning was going to go straight to Baiman Mountain to block the gate of the Southern Demon Cult!
But when they saw Yuan Ning took out a copper compass, asked Su Rui to input a strand of true energy, and then began to cast spells and calculate, when the compass needle stopped swinging, Yuan Ning took them to fly in the direction indicated by the needle.
"Brother, aren't we going to block the gate of Baiman Mountain directly?" Su Rui asked curiously.
"The leader of the Southern Demon Cult, Master Bai Gu, is an old demon who has practiced for hundreds of years. He has a raging demonic flame and a cruel habit of eating human hearts. He has countless poisonous insects under his command and possesses several top magic weapons. He has a Hundred Poisons Shura Banner in his hand. It is said that with just a shake, he can release millions of Hundred Poisons Golden Silkworm Gu. Once these Gu fly out, they are like golden stars in the sky, covering the whole sky. They are huge and ferocious. Even Master Yuanshen can eat them. There is also a magic weapon called Xuanpin Pearl, which is best at defile magical flying swords. Master Bai Gu often turns it into a huge green flame hand, which has destroyed countless magical flying swords of righteous disciples." Yuan Ning's flying sword merged with Su Rui's escape light, and he spoke as he flew.
"In the past, if righteous disciples like us encountered the Hundred Poisons Master, we would have been captured, had our hearts gouged out, and eaten alive, with no escape possible! The situation has improved somewhat in recent years. I heard that he killed a Kunlun Sect disciple, which alerted a senior Kunlun Sect sword master, the Sand God Tongzi. He used the Million Golden Sand Sword to break the Hundred Poisons Shura Banner, killing many Hundred Poisons Golden Silkworm Gu. After suffering such a great loss, he became restrained and dared not cause trouble. But even so, Hundred Barbarian Mountain is still a forbidden place that we cannot touch. Therefore, we cannot go to Hundred Barbarian Mountain!"
"However, we don't need to go to Baiman Mountain to find the person who set up the formation. I just calculated through the 'Small Divine Art' that the person is not in the direction of Baiman Mountain, but is heading towards Yizhou!"
It was rare for Yuan Ning to speak so much. He was probably afraid that Su Rui would look down on the Demonic Path, so he described the background of Baiman Mountain in great detail.
"Junior Brother Su, the Gu insects you encountered in the formation today are probably some unranked insects. If you encounter the Hundred Poisons Golden Silkworm Gu, you must be cautious! This Hundred Poisons Golden Silkworm Gu is accustomed to drinking the blood of humans and animals. It is extremely poisonous and ferocious, and it is not afraid of drowning or burning. Only a few extremely famous needle-type magic weapons can restrain it! Don't be careless, remember to be vigilant!"
Su Rui was shocked when he heard this. There are Gu insects that are not afraid of fire. He immediately asked, "Brother, besides this Hundred Poisons Golden Silkworm Gu, are there other Gu insects that are not afraid of fire?"
Yuan Ning shook his head and said, "My sect has been fighting with Baiman Mountain for many years. I only know about the Hundred Poisons Golden Silkworm Gu, but I don't know much about other poisonous insects!"
