Chapter 440: Stay Out of the Spotlight
Li Chu was moved by the three people who were so concerned about his safety, so he briefly described what happened on Broken Monument Mountain to them.
It was nothing more than that the monsters attacked Duanbei Mountain, but were stopped by him, and Duanbei Mountain also suffered some losses during the battle.
After listening to his calm description, the three nodded. Taoist Xiao Li was indeed always trustworthy. However, they might never be able to imagine the real scene of that short battle.
After saying that, the three of them dispersed, revealing a steaming hot pot on the table behind them. Fat beef, fat lamb, shrimp balls, fish balls, and various vegetables were cooked in the pot, which was bubbling and looked like it had just been boiled.
"Master, you've worked hard these days. It's just right for us to have a hot pot to warm our stomachs." Lao Du greeted him attentively. "Hey, this is the secret base that I queued for half an hour at Liu Ji in the south of the city. You can't taste this flavor outside of Jixiang Mansion!"
"Okay." Li Chu, whose physical body had not eaten for a few days, came forward. Lao Du had already handed him a set of bowls and chopsticks.
Seeing him move, Liu Fufeng and King Xuan Diao also dared to move.
Liu Fufeng said, "Master Xiao Li, it's great that you're back. We were so worried about your safety that we couldn't eat or drink. Even if there were delicacies from the mountains and the sea, how could we eat them?"
Then he smiled at Lao Du again: "How about it, Taoist Du? I insist that you buy Liu Ji's base ingredients, right? This time-honored brand has been around for hundreds of years, it's authentic!"
"Yes..." King Xuan Diao also said to Li Chu: "Master Li, you really didn't see how anxious the three of us were before!"
As he spoke, he picked up two more plates of meat and shouted, "Give Taoist Xiao Li some more meat. I personally selected this at the butcher's shop and watched him chop it piece by piece with my own eyes. The thickness is just right for hot pot, absolutely fine."
Lao Du remembered something and said quickly, "Oh, Master, there is one more thing I need to tell you. This Tree Master... has a background."
As he spoke, he told the story of how the Sixth Elder of Baiyujing came to his house, was crushed by Tree Venerable, and then left in tears.
Li Chu listened with a frown on his face, thinking that if he provoked Bai Yujing because of this matter, it would be an unprovoked disaster.
But this Tree Lord...
He looked back and inexplicably saw a sense of shyness from a tree, and felt a little helpless.
Who can do anything about it? After a hearty meal, with the cups and plates in disarray, four people sat around the table burping, and all felt that life was quite wonderful.
Just at this moment, a groaning sound was suddenly heard.
"who?"
When they looked over together, they remembered that there was a Wang Longqi lying on the bed.
He was just a mortal, and his physical body was taken to heaven and earth by Li Chu's soul to slay demons and eliminate monsters. The physical energy he consumed was enormous, so it took him a long time to recover after returning.
"Cough cough..." Wang Longqi coughed twice, opened his eyes, and saw a group of familiar faces surrounding the bed.
"Are you okay?" Li Chu asked.
"Is Seventh Young Master okay? We were so worried about you." Lao Du said hurriedly.
"I'm fine..." Wang Longqi shook his head, "I'm just a little hungry..."
"No problem..." Lao Du looked back and saw only half of the hot pot soup base was left. He turned around and said, "I'll ask the kitchen to make you a bowl of plain noodles."
"What smells so good?" Wang Longqi sniffed, "Did you guys go out to have hot pot behind my back? I want to eat, too."
"There's no more hot pot..." Lao Du whispered, "If you want, you can try the hot pot base."
"It's from Liu Ji in the south of the city, a century-old brand." Liu Fufeng immediately added.
Wang Longqi: “…”
…
"What on earth is going on..."
The fire chariot landed, and Guo Longque came in front of the heroes. His face was originally gloomy, but when he saw that the heroes had no casualties, but were all a little dusty, his expression eased a little.
But at the same time, I began to wonder, the mountain is gone, but the people are still there, what's going on?
Could it be that the real purpose of the Golden State demons is... demolition? "Things are complicated..." Teacher Gao stepped forward and told him about the sudden change that had happened earlier.
Guo Longque was also a little bit unbelievable.
That Wang Qi... was actually Li Chu, a disciple of Yu Qi'an. He already knew this, but how could that little Taoist have such magical powers? The closer he got to that realm, the more he knew how difficult it was to do all this.
Even if one summons the mythical beast Qilin, it is not an easy task to wipe out all the demons in the Golden State in an instant.
Even if the sword cultivator's powerful lethality is factored in, it's still a little scary.
After thinking for a while, he still couldn't come up with an answer. He didn't think about it anymore, but waved his hand, "Bring the traitor up to me!"
Immediately, several brave men came up, carrying He Tu, whose meridians had been sealed.
"Master, Master..." When He Tu saw Guo Longque, he was so frightened that his soul left his body and his legs went weak and he could no longer stand.
He kowtowed repeatedly, tears streaming down his face as he said, "Master, I know I have committed serious sins! But please spare my life this time. After all... I am the only one shorter than you in the entire Broken Monument Mountain. If I die, you will be the shortest person on our mountain..."
"I know you are not capable of planning such a thing, so let me spare your life..." Guo Longque said in a deep voice, "Then tell me who instructed you to commit this crime and who helped you contact the Golden State Demon. Tell me everything clearly."
"Who ordered me to do this..." He Tu hesitated for a moment, but faced with life and death, he gritted his teeth and said, "It was Jin..."
Just as he uttered a word, his body suddenly froze, as if he was under some kind of spell, his throat became hoarse, and he could not utter another word. This was not the end yet, and the next second, his mouth, eyes, nose, ears...
Golden light suddenly emerged from all seven orifices at the same time! This golden light was like a flame, gushing out violently, quickly engulfing his entire body, and then flowing outward, becoming more and more intense! Seeing this, Guo Longque shouted, "Get out of the way!"
Before he finished his words, the human figure wrapped in golden flames exploded!
"Hmph." Guo Longque snorted coldly and raised his right hand. The explosion that was about to spread to the surroundings seemed to be frozen in an instant, stagnant in mid-air, and then as his five fingers clenched, the space seemed to be compressed, and in the blink of an eye it turned into a fist-sized pure black ball.
It looked dark and shiny, as if it contained terrifying energy.
Guo Longque flicked his sleeves and the black ball disappeared again. The storm was over.
And the living He Tu that was there also disappeared from the world.
"Master, this..." Another disciple came up, not knowing what to do for a moment.
Guo Longque raised his hand and said, "You guys just stay calm for now, my most urgent task is to find Qilin..."
That's right.
The Qilin, the mythical beast that was crucial to the survival of Broken Monument Mountain, was lost. Since all the disciples were safe and sound here, it was impossible for the Qilin to fall. It was just that when Broken Monument Mountain collapsed, no one knew where it went.
Guo Longque closed his eyes and sensed the presence of Qilin with the power of some kind of contract.
"Not far..." He muttered, rising out of thin air.
In a moment, his figure flew to a distant barren mountain, on which there was a remote cave. He frowned and then entered it.
Going deeper into the mountain, we saw a black Qilin beast, which had shrunk to its smallest size, curled up in a pile of rocks deep in the cave.
The big head was stuck in the pile of rocks, leaving only the hideous scaly butt exposed.
"What are you doing?"
Guo Longque walked forward and patted Qilin's butt.
The Qilin shuddered and immediately pulled out its head, revealing a face full of mystery and a slightly timid look in its eyes. It calmed down a little when it saw Guo Longque. Then it shook its mane and regained its majestic and divine appearance.
"Broken Monument Mountain collapsed, why did you come here?" Guo Longque asked again.
Then the Qilin let out a low roar, "Ah..."
Guo Longque was slightly stunned.
He could naturally understand Qilin's words, but what puzzled him was the content of what Qilin said.
Because just now, the Qilin, one of the most invincible divine beasts in the sky and on earth, answered him with four words.
"Get out of the spotlight..."
