Yun Jian snorted and took out a battery-powered ball. Dozens of them were connected together and discharged simultaneously, instantly illuminating half the sky.
Whether or not we can defeat Mr. Luo is not important; what matters is that the momentum must be large enough.
As long as it attracts the attention of those people in Tengyun Pavilion, that's enough.
She calculated the time, glanced in the direction of the Fengshen's residence, and saw several figures appearing furtively. A smile crept onto her lips.
At the same time, Mr. Chaolu shouted, "Bai Yu has been ambushed by your black silk for so long. I have come here several times. Even when I brought the divine flower, you still refused to let Bai Yu go. In the end, you just don't want to let us go."
Mr. Luo chuckled and said without any hesitation, "Of course, I never intended for you to live. Now that you're here, you're not leaving!"
After saying that, Mr. Luo personally took action. A black silk stocking appeared and hovered beside Yun Jian, waiting for an opportunity to strike.
Yunjian dodged with incredible speed.
Meanwhile, Bai Yu simply burrowed underground.
Mr. Luo laughed loudly, "You even stood up for Bai Yu, but now that you're in danger, do you see him care about you? He just crawled underground and ran away. Is someone like that worth it?"
Yun Jian pursed her lips and remained silent.
Even though Yun Jian was struggling to cope, Mr. Luo did not let his guard down.
He meticulously manipulated the fine filament.
The two fought back and forth.
Finally, Yunjian, exhausted, fell to the ground.
Mr. Luo narrowed his eyes slightly; the time had finally come!
Just as he was controlling the black silk to catch up, suddenly, Yun Jian disappeared from the spot, and there was a small hole under her feet where she disappeared.
Mr. Luo immediately understood that Bai Yu hadn't left at all; he was underground, waiting for the right moment to take Yun Jian away.
But what was the purpose of their high-profile but ultimately ineffective attack?
He turned around, and as expected, Lao Si and Xiao Zhen had disappeared sometime during the night.
Once they were out of Sheng Tian's territory, Yun Jian quickly asked Bai Yu to take her to the ground.
"What's wrong?"
Bai Yu was a little confused.
Yun Jian pulled his hand over, rolled up her sleeve, and caught several small insects in her palm.
Bai Yu was stunned for a moment, then poked at them a few times with his hands. "What's wrong with them?"
Yun Jian tried to sense it and said, "They said it's time to upgrade."
Since it wasn't a bad thing, Yun Jian let them be, stuffed them into the small bamboo tube, and continued on his way.
Meanwhile, the people at Tengyun Pavilion also learned that Mr. Luo was in good health and had no major problems.
Liu Shou was the first to swear, "Damn it! That Luo Jiao corpse actually lied to us! That rock must be explosive!"
Cheng Cheng looked at him: "So what do we do now?"
They seized the stone so openly that almost everyone on the grassland knew about it. If word got out that the stone was a trick by Luo Jiao Shi, where would they put their face?
But what to do with the stone is another problem.
Liu Shou thought for a moment, "Have Cao Tengjin throw the stone out and say that the stone ran away by itself."
If even Luo Jiao's corpse could make a stone run away, what's so strange about them making stones run away?
Cheng Cheng nodded. "That's all we can do for now."
Halfway there, Yun Jian suddenly remembered something. "Wait a minute, now that the people from Tengyun Pavilion have come to Shengtian to gather information, who will be guarding that stone?"
Bai Yu frowned. "How can you be so sure they didn't bring the stone with them?"
Yun Jian shook his head. "No, they are always very careful. Since they came to Shengtian to investigate, it means they have suspicions about the stone. Given their cautious nature, they would not carry anything that might be dangerous on their person."
"That makes some sense. So, what do you want to do now?"
Yun Jianwei curled the corners of his lips. "Since the guard on that stone is currently weak, isn't this the perfect opportunity for us to retrieve it?"
Bai Yu suddenly realized.
He had no objection. "Then let's hurry up and leave, otherwise it will be harder to steal from them once they go back."
The group quickly flew and ran towards the place where the gods were enshrined.
Upon reaching the door, Yun Jian stopped Bai Yu, saying, "You two stay outside and keep watch for me. I'll take Bai Bi and Dou Dou inside."
As she spoke, she used the ring to transform herself into the appearance of a charred corpse.
Bai Yu was about to say something, but seeing her attire, he understood her intention and decided not to interfere. "Okay, then be careful."
Yun Jian quietly sneaked in and, following the senses of his own tool, quickly found the stone.
The guards around were not strict; there were only a few demonic beasts, as well as Cao Tengjin, the former ranch owner of Fengshen, and a few of his men.
Several subordinates were still complaining angrily to Cao Tengjin: "Master, ever since those people from Tengyun Pavilion came, we've had such a miserable time. There are only a few of them. Are we supposed to live under their oppression forever? There are so many of us. If we go up against them, we might not necessarily suffer a loss."
"That's right, Master. I feel like the Investiture of the Gods is almost theirs now. Why should it be? Why should the foundation you built with so much effort be given to outsiders?"
"I can't swallow this insult. With the influence of our Investiture of the Gods, are we afraid of them?"
Cao Tengjin looked at his angry subordinates, opened his mouth, but said nothing, only sighed softly.
He had wanted to kick those people out, but in this world, it was better to just stay put.
What good would it do to drive those people out? Putting aside whether he could even manage it, he couldn't handle the charred corpses covering the mountains and fields. He might even die faster during the Investiture of the Gods.
As they were talking, none of them noticed that a thin green thread had quietly wrapped around the stone they were surrounding.
And that stone, not knowing what was suitable, became a small pebble the size of a fist.
The green silk was quietly dragging the pebbles away.
By the time the others realized it, Yun Jian had already taken the stones and left Fengshen.
Cao Tengjin reprimanded his men for a few minutes, then turned around and noticed that the small stone Liu Shou had asked him to guard was nowhere to be found. He immediately stood up and looked around, "Where's the stone? Have you seen where it went?"
The henchmen were also shocked and hurriedly shook their heads.
"I...I didn't see it. Wasn't it just here a moment ago?"
Cao Tengjin thought to himself, "This is bad. If Liu Shou comes back, I don't know what he'll do to me!"
He quickly kicked each of them, yelling, "What are you all standing there for? Get up and start looking! If you can't find them, I can't guarantee your lives will be spared when those guys come back!"
Upon hearing this, the others were also frightened and quickly got up.
As Cao Tengjin searched, he asked, "Has no one been here just now?"
Several of his men shook their heads.
Cao Tengyun's face was gloomy. He scanned his subordinates but found nothing unusual. He had just been sitting by the rock, so how could the rock have disappeared into thin air?
Just then, voices came from ahead.
Cao Tengjin froze. How come they came back so quickly?
But he still hasn't found the stone!
