Chapter 23: The CEO's Keeper of His Little Mistress - A Threat
In the pitch-black night, the shadows of the trees swayed in the forest.
Tonight, the mountains and forests are eerily quiet.
There wasn't a single chirping of insects or bird calls, as if all the insects and beasts in the forest had died.
After entering Garan Peak, Gong Ye frowned slightly.
He said in a cold voice, "Why can't I sense any life at all?"
Wang Tianshi and the surrounding Taoist priests exchanged glances, hesitant to speak.
As the president of the Celestial Masters' Association, only he can speak up and explain.
“Mr. Gong, this is all because your Yin energy is too strong. There are no ordinary insects, ants, birds and beasts living on Jialan Peak. It has always been the home of various demons. When they sensed your arrival, these little monsters were naturally frightened and fled.”
After all, who can withstand the Yin energy of the Yin Emperor?
Moreover, the Emperor Yin, having lost his partner, is currently in a state of rage.
If you are unhappy, you will be swallowed up and reduced to ashes by the King of Hell.
In this situation, only a fool wouldn't run.
If their lives weren't in the hands of the Underworld Emperor, they would have wanted to run away too.
The emperor of the underworld came to the human world, but because of a demon that had become a spirit, he refused to return to his throne and stayed in the human world for a long time.
The only ones who should be crying are these old bones.
However bitter it may be in their hearts, they dare not say a word on their faces.
After all, having offended this Yin Emperor, who is even more terrifying than Yama, they not only suffered a bad end while alive, but also a bad end after death.
"snort!"
Upon hearing this, Gong Ye merely snorted coldly, his gaze fixed on a certain spot, his eyes gleaming with a chilling light.
He raised his hand, looked at his cold palm, and his eyes gleamed even colder.
After Gu Shanshan escaped, he searched everywhere but could not find her. Overwhelmed with anger, he vomited blood and fainted.
When I woke up, I found that I had lost even the last trace of human characteristics.
He has now become a true living dead.
Those pupils, forever black, could never become human pupils again.
All of this is because of Gu Shanshan.
He asked the person next to him in a cold voice, "How much longer until we reach the summit?"
This emperor was unpredictable and difficult to fathom, yet his personality was gloomy and terrifying.
If they want peace and quiet in the world, they have to be careful in serving them.
Chairman Wang wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and said cautiously, "Mr. Gong, we will reach the summit in at most half an hour."
According to their reconnaissance, only one tree spirit and Mr. Gong's escaped rabbit spirit have not left the mountaintop.
The tree spirit has been rooted in Jialan Peak for thousands of years, with its roots covering the entire peak. It is practically the mountain god of Jialan Peak and cannot leave the peak even for a moment.
But what about that little rabbit spirit?
Why did they seem oblivious to any danger and remain on the mountain without leaving?
President Wang couldn't figure it out.
At the top of Jialan Peak, the old locust tree spirit, sensing the approaching danger, warned the mountain spirits to leave.
He also called Gu Shanshan, but Gu Shanshan had been traveling and working hard for many days.
I fell asleep and couldn't wake up.
The old locust tree spirit had no choice but to use a trick to deceive them, praying in its heart that the people who came would not discover them.
However, with Gong Ye, this walking demon, around, the old locust tree spirit's prayers were destined to be in vain.
......
Half an hour later, the group reached the summit of Jialan Peak. They walked back and forth in one spot countless times, but could not find a way out.
Seeing Gong Ye's face grow increasingly gloomy, Chairman Wang was so frightened that he didn't dare to breathe.
He whispered, "Mr. Gong, the magic of the locust tree spirit on the mountain is too profound. We are no match for it and cannot escape the trap it has created. We will have to trouble you, Mr. Gong."
Upon hearing this, Gong Ye suppressed his anger and said...
"What do you want me to do?"
That means they agreed.
Chairman Wang breathed a sigh of relief and immediately said, "You don't need to do anything. As long as Mr. Gong takes the lead, you will naturally get out of this predicament."
Their current situation is similar to being trapped in a maze.
They just wander around in one place and can't get out.
But Gong Ye is different. Gong Ye has the constitution of a Yin Emperor, and all ghosts and monsters will retreat and kneel down when they encounter him.
The King of the Underworld lingering in the human world is practically a walking murder weapon.
Gong Ye said nothing and walked ahead with a cold face.
This time, just as Chairman Wang said, with Gong Ye leading the way, the road ended and straightened, revealing a locust tree that would take a hundred people to encircle.
The tree is associated with the locust tree, which is most likely to harbor ghosts and become spirits.
It is generally forbidden to plant locust trees in the yard of a residence. Some people who do not know the proper way plant them and attract ghosts and monsters, so they ask the Celestial Masters Alliance to deal with them.
The Taoist priests present were all very old and had dealt with countless ghostly matters throughout their lives, and had seen countless locust trees become spirits or hide ghosts.
However, no one had ever seen such a huge locust tree come to life, and they were all stunned and astonished.
The old locust tree spirit knew it couldn't stop the man before it, so it opened its two eyes on its trunk.
An aged voice uttered, "Why has the King of the Underworld come here?"
He has lived for thousands of years, and it is said that the King of the Underworld has been asleep for tens of thousands of years.
I never imagined it would appear in the human world now.
The Taoist priests were secretly relieved that Master Gong was with them on this trip; otherwise, if the locust tree spirit had gotten angry, they would have been in serious trouble dealing with this thousand-year-old tree spirit.
Gong Ye looked at the enormous creature before him, but felt no fear whatsoever.
They completely ignored what the old locust tree spirit said.
Its sharp eyes scanned the old locust tree spirit's massive trunk.
Finally, my gaze fell on a grassy hollow in the branches above, and lingered there for a long time.
His gaze, fixed on that nest of grass, was terrifyingly deep.
No one knows what Gong Ye is thinking at this moment.
Noticing the man's gaze, the old locust tree spirit understood after a moment's thought. He had originally assumed that these Taoist priests were after him, and that by inviting the Underworld Emperor, they intended to take his old bones away.
Unexpectedly, it was for the little rabbit spirit.
The old locust tree spirit thought that the little rabbit's sad return was simply because she had encountered an irresponsible scumbag.
Unexpectedly, he had provoked the legendary and terrifying King of Hell.
I was suddenly at a loss for what to do.
Gong Ye stared coldly at the clump of grass, as if trying to make it see a hole.
Beneath the towering tree, shimmering with a soft, eerie light, Gong Ye stood tall and elegant, his figure appearing ghostly against the swaying shadows of the tree.
Those who followed dared not even breathe. Although they were incredibly curious about what the little rabbit spirit who had kept the King of the Underworld in the mortal realm looked like, they could only lower their heads and suppress their curiosity, not daring to peek.
Gong Yeyou stared at the grassy nest for a very long time, so long that the cool mountain breeze made the Taoist priests who had come with him shiver.
It's just a grassy nest, what's so interesting about it?
Can you still make out a flower?
However, out of fear of Gong Ye, no one dared to express a single word of dissatisfaction.
After a long while, Gong Ye finally saw the grass nest move, and his eyes sharpened.
Without shifting his gaze even an inch, he gave the order in a cold voice.
"Those who are not involved should all leave."
Upon hearing this, the butler immediately understood.
Have the bodyguards escort all the Taoist priests who came with them away.
Soon, only Gong Ye, the butler, and eight bodyguards remained under the towering locust tree.
In the grass nest.
Gu Shanshan heard the footsteps of the Taoist priests leaving and let out a slight breath.
He was sleeping soundly, but suddenly had a nightmare.
I was so frightened that I woke up instantly.
When I woke up, instead of feeling relieved, my heart was in my throat.
Because he smelled a familiar scent.
That scent, after spending so much time together, sharing the same bed, even if he turned to ashes, he wouldn't mistake it.
He knew that Gong Ye had arrived.
Gu Shanshan's first thought was to run.
But he not only smelled Gong Ye's scent, he also sensed a threat.
There are many powerful Taoist priests and celestial masters below, any one of whom could easily annihilate him.
Because he ran away, Gong Ye was angry.
Gu Shanshan couldn't help but wonder, so Gong Ye brought these people to kill her?
I was so scared that I tried to stay still and pretend I wasn't there, but then I trembled and made the grass nest move.
That one moment made him feel like he was being pricked by thorns.
Even without seeing Gong Ye, he could feel Gong Ye's cold gaze fixed on him.
Like a carnivore lurking in the shadows of the night, watching its prey about to die in its claws.
Gu Shanshan felt both wronged and scared.
When he returned to his hometown, he thought he could completely distance himself from Gong Ye and never see him again.
Gong Ye narrowed his eyes dangerously, his wolf-like gaze fixed on the grass nest.
His thin lips parted slightly, and he slowly spoke, "Shanshan, I know you're awake. Get down here!"
His voice was filled with barely concealed anger.
Gu Shanshan's heart skipped a beat in fright, and she trembled.
Two soft rabbit ears drooped down, and the rabbit looked dejected, trying to pretend it hadn't heard anything.
Just as Gu Shanshan was hesitating about what to do, Gong Ye's voice came from below.
The man's tone was chilling.
"Shanshan, I'll give you one more chance. Come down yourself, or I'll summon heavenly lightning to strike this tree dead and capture you!"
Gong Ye was threatening him.
Gu Shanshan bit the rabbit's lip, and the little dumpling trembled.
It let out a soft, aggrieved chirp, "Chirp..."
Don't hurt Grandpa. I'll get down myself. If you want to kill someone, then kill me.
He was about to crawl out of the grass nest, but he was too scared.
Without warning, his injured front paw slipped and he plummeted straight down from the sky...
