Chapter 114: Jiuying and his companions pretended not to notice...
The group ignored their followers and continued their flight eastward. As the coastline drew near, Moang couldn't help but ask, "Could it be over the East China Sea?"
How come the East Sea gets all the good things? Is it because we in the West Sea don't deserve it?
Bi Han said: "No, we have to go further east."
"East of the East China Sea?" Fu Li asked doubtfully, recalling the myths she had read in her previous life. "Isn't that the Immortal Mountain of Changliu?"
It is said that Huangdi's eldest son, Xuanxiao, the White Emperor of the West, practiced in Changliu Mountain.
But that is orthodox mythology. I don’t know if it is applicable in the world of prehistoric times?
Just as I was thinking about this, I heard Ji Meng say, "There is indeed a mountain east of the East China Sea, but it has no name and is quite desolate. So it's called Changliu?"
Fuli shut up.
——It really doesn’t match.
At this moment, a black shadow suddenly passed them and headed straight to the east.
Bixiao was startled and threw out the Golden Dragon Shears. They roared in the air and turned into two golden dragons, which went straight to the black shadow and wrapped around it.
Before the Golden Dragon Shears could perform their function, three groups of people suddenly appeared above everyone's heads: left, center, and right. Two of them went to deal with the Golden Dragon Shears, while the third group crossed the battlefield and headed east.
Fu Li's mind moved, and a rope shining with golden light flew out from her sleeve to block the third group that was in the front.
Ji Meng also seized the opportunity to summon the Northern Xuanyuan Water Control Flag, protecting all of his men under it. Yunxiao then transformed into a massive white cloud, descending to the crowd's feet. Carrying them like an arrow, he shot off towards the east with a whoosh.
The Three Sisters of the Sky were originally clouds in the sky that had attained enlightenment. Although their speed could not match that of light or the three-legged crow, it was not much slower than that of the wind.
Now Yunxiao doesn’t want to think about anything else. He just wants to overcome all obstacles and reach Penglai first.
But Fuli has a lot to consider.
As for the people who showed up on the way, she was only sure that Bai Ze was involved. Bai Ze was good at calculating, and he was probably aware of the three rhinoceros demons when they said the words "Penglai Island" in Shuzhong.
But she could only be sure that Bai Ze was there, but she could not be sure that he was the only one with Bai Ze's men.
After all, besides Bai Ze, there is another person who can get information from them without sending spies.
That is the Emperor of Heaven who holds the Haotian Mirror.
As for whether there are spies among those following her, Fu Li can be sure that there are none for the time being.
But if she fails to capture Penglai this time, people's hearts will inevitably be shaken. If someone takes the opportunity to bribe them with a large price, she cannot be sure.
After all, everything in the world is two-way. The reason these people are willing to follow her is that they believe that they can have a bright future by following her.
If she couldn't even give them a place to live, why would she expect them to continue to be loyal to her? Was it her will?
Yunxiao's speed was so fast that in the blink of an eye, Bihan screamed, "We're here, we're here. We've passed, we've passed, go back quickly!"
The cloud suddenly stopped, and everyone on it was caught off guard, their bodies leaning forward. Fortunately, at the critical moment, the cloud rolled up, preventing the few people standing in the front from being carried into the sea.
Fu Li, who was protected by the crowd, finally managed to steady herself and hurried forward to check: "How is it? Is anyone injured?"
The outermost guards were all aquatic creatures. The killer whale, who was in the best condition, answered for everyone, "Don't worry, my king. Queen Yunxiao is careful and swift, and she's taking good care of everyone."
Niangniang is a respectful title for female fairies.
At this time, Yunxiao also turned back into a Taoist body, and he tore a large piece of white cloud from the sky and placed it under everyone's feet.
The outermost water creatures simply took two steps forward and stood on the water surface, their eyes alert as they defended the four centers. Ji Meng led the demons who practiced water magic into the air and faced the enemy head-on.
They finally came face to face with the several groups of people who had been following them secretly.
Of those people, the most conspicuous was naturally Bai Ze. It wasn't because he was particularly outstanding or unique in appearance, but because among all the people who came, Fu Li had only seen him before, and he was naturally the one she was most familiar with.
Bai Ze was quite polite. When he saw them stop, he stepped out of the crowd, bowed first, and then asked Fu Li to come out and talk.
This action made Fu Li raise her eyebrows, and she felt that she had made some progress.
You know, he never bothered to even look at Fu Li before.
Fu Li, however, didn't even look at him. Instead, she sneered and said to Ji Meng, "You two were both great saints of the Demon Court. I think you'll have more in common. I won't delay your reminiscing."
Ji Meng suppressed his laughter and flew forward, looking down at Bai Ze from above. He raised his voice and said, "Brother Bai Ze, it's been so long since we last met. How are you? I heard that your daughter is seriously ill and urgently needs elixirs. Is this true?"
She was also mischievous, bringing up things that were not related to the topic and trying to hit Bai Ze where it hurt.
Bai Ze's smile was almost gone as he gritted his teeth and said, "Thank you, Daoist Fellow Ji Meng, for your concern. My daughter has been suffering from a congenital weakness. Ordinary spiritual medicines are useless. I'm afraid I can only find a place with abundant spiritual energy and no trace of slaughter to slowly nurture her. Only over time will I see miraculous results."
Fu Li sneered, "How shameless! You can even use your daughter as an excuse to fight for the Immortal Island."
She didn't raise her voice intentionally, but she didn't lower it either.
The lowest level of cultivation among those who can participate in this event is Taiyi Jinxian - except for the three rhinoceros spirits leading the way - and there is no external interference, so who can't hear it?
Everyone on Fu Li's side laughed cooperatively. Bai Ze's cheeks twitched twice, but he maintained his composure on the surface.
As for the rest, Fu Li took the opportunity to observe them. Some of them laughed at her without any hesitation, while others showed disdain on their faces even though they didn't laugh.
These people are most likely not in the same group with Bai Ze. Even if they were in the past, they are no longer in the same group from this moment on.
After all, Bai Ze is not a broad-minded person.
There were only about thirty to fifty people who subconsciously looked at Bai Ze's expression, but there were only six of them whose cultivation was above Taiyi Jinxian, and the rest, with the lowest cultivation, were even Jinxian.
Allowing Golden Immortals to participate in such occasions is clearly using them as cannon fodder.
This wasn't Fu Li's first encounter with Bai Ze. During her more than one hundred years as King of Shu, Bai Ze, the demon king, had entrenched himself within her territory. Although Fu Li, fearing him, had never taken action against him, she had also never stopped her infiltration of Qingcheng Mountain.
Bai Ze is a stubborn, self-righteous, and ungrateful demon. Of all the demons in Qingcheng Mountain, Bai Ze only has a modicum of genuine affection for his own daughter, Tong, but that's all he has.
His love for his daughter is not even greater than his own face.
Since he doesn't love his daughter enough, Ji Meng's poking at his sore spot is naturally not enough to break him down.
Ji Meng felt a little sorry, but she didn't care too much. She didn't really have to rely on her mouth to repel the enemy. The only pity was that she didn't see Bai Ze getting angry.
"Forget it, forget it. Bai Ze, you and I weren't on good terms when we served together in the Demon Court. Now there's no old friendship to talk about, so why not just get down to business?"
She reached out her hands in the air and caught a pair of pitch-black, cold short spears in her hands. The spear tips were cold and pale, with a faint rust-red glow.
While talking to Bai Ze, she had already observed that none of the people coming here could match her except Bai Ze. As long as she could hold Bai Ze back, the rest would not be a threat to Fu Li and the others.
Bai Ze was cheered up, pulled out an iron whip from his sleeve, replied "OK", and swung the whip towards Ji Meng.
Ji Meng raised his left hand to support it, pointed to the side with his right hand, and said with a smile: "In order to avoid being disturbed and unable to enjoy the game, let's go over there?"
Bai Ze glanced at her with a half-smile, raised his eyebrows and said, "Okay."
Before he finished speaking, he took the lead in withdrawing his whip and flew in the direction Ji Meng pointed.
Seeing him so cheerful, Ji Meng's eyelids jumped. But the arrow was on the string and had to be released. Bai Ze's cultivation was not to be underestimated, so she had no choice but to follow him.
The leader had already taken action, and the little demons who followed Bai Ze also rushed towards Fu Li and others with their magic weapons.
Bi Xiao said, "My two sisters, please hold the fort for me. I will go and meet them."
She held the Seven-Star Moon Whip in her hand and swung it in the air, making a series of crackling sounds, directly sweeping the three Taiyi Golden Immortals into her attack range.
Moang bowed to Fuli and went to meet him with ten water creatures.
Those coming from above were originally watching the excitement, but the fighting power of Fu Li's side was too strong. Seeing that Bai Ze's men were defeated, they looked at each other solemnly, and sent half of their men to help, while the other half attacked towards Fu Li's location.
The next moment, Bai Ze's defense was broken.
Because the Xuanyuan Water Control Flag was protecting Fu Li and others, when the black light flashed, he finally recognized this magic weapon that had been in his hands for many years.
What broke his defense was that the magic weapon had been in his hands for so many years, but had never exerted such power. Even when attacked by three Taiyi Golden Immortals at the same time, its defense was not broken.
He stared at Ji Meng with red eyes and asked in a nearly broken voice, "Who is controlling the Northern Xuanyuan Water Control Flag?"
Ji Meng smiled slightly: "Me." Countless small spears about a foot long flew out from behind her, circling like bees and shooting towards Bai Ze.
Bai Ze's breathing was unstable and he didn't check for a moment, and was shot in the left arm by one of the bullets, and half of his body immediately became numb.
"You...you poisoned him?" He looked at Ji Meng with disbelief, as if he was looking at a despicable villain.
Ji Meng was amused by him and shouted "My King". A golden rope came and tied Bai Ze tightly.
Ji Meng stepped forward and grabbed him, then said, "I'm so ignorant, could you please stop embarrassing yourself? Do you think everyone likes to use poison like you do? I use heavy water. Do you know heavy water?"
As she spoke, she carried Bai Ze to Fu Li, threw him on the cloud, and said with a smile, "Fortunately, I have fulfilled my mission."
Fu Li stared at Bai Ze for a few seconds, then asked with a smile, "Ji Meng, do you think he has a backup plan?"
Ji Meng kicked Bai Ze and said, "I'm asking you, do you have any backup plan?"
This kick was somewhat due to personal grudges, and Bai Ze groaned in pain, sneering but saying nothing.
Fu Li looked at Ji Meng, who gave a wry smile, "That's hard to judge." She then looked up at the people surrounding them, who were staring at her with eager eyes, and suggested, "Don't worry about whether he has a backup plan or not. Let's just deal with these people first."
At this moment, no one expected that Ji Meng suddenly pushed Fu Li and pushed Fu Li onto the three Bi Han brothers who were huddled together.
In a flash of golden light, Fu Li and the three brothers disappeared. The sharp claw that pierced the air was a step too slow, only ripping through a patch of cloud.
Ji Meng stood solemnly, holding his spear, and said, "Jiuying, it's been a long time since we last met."
