Jian Qinyu stood there blankly, her face full of disappointment, her mind racing, constantly asking herself if she could accept being a concubine.
She's the daughter of the Red Dust Sword Pavilion, after all. To make her a concubine? What a joke!
After walking for a while, Baxia noticed that Jian Qinyu hadn't followed and asked, "Brother Hua, are you just going to give up on this girl like that?"
"It's best they didn't come; it saves them from bothering me and becoming a burden!"
After walking for a while, Lan Hua turned around and saw that Jian Qinyu really hadn't followed, so she breathed a sigh of relief.
"It seems this third young lady is quite rational and not so love-struck!"
Just as Lan Hua was about to continue deeper into Mantuo Mountain, before she even turned around, she let out another soft exclamation.
"Brother Ba, something's not right in the back."
"Although I didn't hear any fighting sounds, I could sense fluctuations of Yuan energy in the distance!"
After speaking, Lan Hua closed her eyes slightly and opened her divine sense.
His divine sense quickly extended to a distance of ten miles and indeed detected strong fluctuations in Yuan energy.
Baxia also said, "There's fighting again in the distance. Could it be that the Third Miss of Jianlou is being besieged by demonic beasts again?"
"No, I didn't sense any demonic energy aura just now!"
"You can tell at a glance!"
Lan Hua unleashed the Flowing Light Step and used her Thousand-Mile Vision technique, quickly spotting Jian Qinyu's figure.
Baxia continued to drag the leopard demon's body, closely following Lan Hua, not slowing down at all.
"Huh? It's Gongshu Zhan! What's he doing at Mantuo Mountain?"
Gongshu Zhan then unleashed both hands simultaneously, his palms radiating intense heat—this was the Melting Weapon Hand technique.
The Melting Soldier wielded his sword with wide, sweeping movements, showing no fear of the spirit sword in Jian Qinyu's hand.
Gongshu Zhan's cultivation level was far higher than Jian Qinyu's. The latter barely managed to hold on for a few rounds before her spirit sword flew out of her hand.
"Hahaha...Third Miss, I have admired you for a long time. Today, you shall submit to me!" Gongshu Zhan chuckled.
Jian Qinyu snorted, "Don't even think about it! I'd rather die than let you get away with it!"
After saying that, he pushed off the ground and was about to fly into the sky.
Gongshu Zhan reacted quickly, reaching out with his right hand to grab Jian Qinyu's small foot. With a slight effort, he pulled her down.
Then, he made a sword shape with his right hand and pressed it on several acupoints on Jian Qinyu's body.
Jian Qinyu's cultivation was restricted, and she wanted to break free from Gongshu Zhan's clutches, but she was powerless to do so.
"What's so great about that Lan Hua? He's just a rogue cultivator. Does he have a stronger background than me?"
I am the third young master of the prestigious Gongshu family, I can have whatever I want.
Today is an auspicious day, and since there's no better time than now, I'll just settle things here in the middle of nowhere, so you can finally give up on me.
After saying that, Gongshu Zhan prepared to make a move, and a large hand reached towards the petite woman's collar.
Seeing that she was about to be violated, Jian Qinyu was so frightened that tears welled up in her eyes. She could no longer hold back and screamed loudly.
Just when Gongshu Zhan thought he was about to succeed, an invisible arrow shot out swiftly.
"Hmm, was there a sneak attack?"
Lan Hua's invisible arrow came suddenly, and Gongshu Zhan was in the middle of a battle. By the time he realized the arrow was coming, it was too late to dodge.
However, a figure suddenly appeared in front of Gongshu Zhan and blocked the invisible arrow.
Bang!
With a muffled thud, the invisible arrow shattered instantly.
"Huh? A mechanical human!" Lan Hua exclaimed in surprise.
It turned out that what was blocking Gongshu Zhan's way was a mechanical mannequin of normal size.
Gongshu Zhan quickly picked up Jian Qinyu, looked in the direction of the attack, and carefully prepared for defense.
"Lanhua, why did you come back so soon?"
"Gongshu Zhan, why are you here on Mantuo Mountain again?" Lan Hua asked in return.
Gongshu Zhan snorted coldly, "Naturally, it's to kill you and then take this beautiful woman."
"Aren't you afraid that the Red Dust Sword Pavilion will cause trouble for your family?" Lan Hua snorted.
"This place is in the middle of nowhere, thousands of miles away from Heavenly Sword Peak. How could the Red Dust Sword Pavilion possibly know about it!"
Lan Hua never appeared in Gongshu Zhan's sight from beginning to end.
Because the latter had taken Jian Qinyu hostage, being out of the latter's sight actually served as a deterrent to him.
However, Gongshu Zhan's kidnapping of Jian Qinyu has made Lan Hua feel somewhat troubled.
If Gongshu Zhan were to fire an arrow rashly, he might use Jian Qinyu to block it, thus costing the girl her life.
"Baxia, go around behind him and give him a surprise attack!"
"Okay!"
Baxia responded and dragged the leopard demon's body away. Suddenly finding it in the way, he simply threw it away and hurriedly circled around to a distance.
Suddenly, a sharp and merciless sword aura slashed from behind Gongshu Zhan, startling him.
"Hmm? Someone else is here!"
Gongshu Zhan quickly pulled Jian Qinyu away, and at that moment, Lan Hua used the Double Dragons Emerging from the Sea move.
Two invisible, armor-piercing arrows were fired; one struck the mechanical man's abdomen, and the other aimed at Gongshu Zhan's head.
Gongshu Zhan let out a strange cry, realizing the power of the incoming arrow. He quickly threw down his sword, Qin Yu, and used both hands to unleash fiery palm energy, slashing at the armor-piercing, invisible arrow.
boom!
The Armor-Piercing Invisible Arrow couldn't withstand the Melting Weapon Hand's attack and shattered along with the palm energy.
"Hmm? The Melting Weapon Hand can actually counter my Invisible Arrow!" Lan Hua was slightly surprised.
The mechanical figure raised its arm and blocked the invisible, armor-piercing arrow in front of its head.
"Huh? What kind of armor is this? It can actually withstand my armor-piercing arrow!" Lan Hua was taken aback.
Just as Gongshu Zhan was about to capture Jian Qinyu again, a small figure rushed over, grabbed Jian Qinyu, and flew to the side.
Immediately afterwards, another sharp sword aura shot towards Gongshu Zhan, forcing the latter to do his best to block it.
With a hiss, Gongshu Zhan was struck on the shoulder by the sword energy, and staggered back several steps before regaining his balance.
"It's you, Mo Tu!"
Gongshu Zhan exclaimed in surprise, "Mo Tu, I have no grudge against you in the past or any enmity with you recently, why are you interfering in this matter?"
Mo Tu slowly descended from a tree, his Heavenly Love Sword pointing diagonally at the ground.
"Hmph, no cultivator would turn a blind eye to such a despicable act."
Moreover, there's a deep-seated grudge between us, not just no one, but a truly enormous one!
Gongshu Zhan frowned and snorted, "What grudge could I possibly have against you?"
"A blood feud, the hatred of wiping out an entire family!"
At this moment, Lan Hua came into their view and, upon hearing these words, seemed to understand something.
"Brother Mo, could it be that your surname isn't Mo, but rather the Mo of ink?"
Are you a member of the Mohist school?
Mo Tu nodded slowly, "Brother Lan guessed correctly, I am a descendant of the Mo family, and Mo Tu is my real name."
The Mohist school was destroyed overnight by the Gongshu family, disappearing from the entire celestial realm!
"Brother Lan, could you do me the honor of relinquishing the life of Gongshu Zhan to me today?"
Lan Hua laughed and said, "Since Brother Mo has a blood feud with the Gongshu family, I naturally won't interfere. However, before you kill him, I want to ask him a question!"
"Gongshu Zhan, how did you know I was on Mount Mantuo?"
Gongshu Zhan sneered, "My Gongshu family has many disciples. Ever since you escaped from Tianjian Peak, I have been aware of your whereabouts!"
"I see, Brother Mo, the rest is up to you!"
Gongshu Zhan looked at Mo Tu, who was filled with anger, and asked suspiciously, "Your sudden appearance here must have taken a lot of thought!"
“That’s right. Ever since you left Tianjian Peak, I have been secretly sending messages to the last remaining members of the Mo family, instructing them to keep an eye on your whereabouts.”
"Today is the day my Mo family begins to collect debts!"
