Chapter 228 The Sands of Time!
As Xuewa watched her grandfather's figure disappear, she felt a little reluctant to leave, but after all, she was just a child. Xiaoxianxian gave her some snacks to coax her, and she cheered up again.
Looking at its former owner, Xiao Hei's eyes welled up with tears. "Master, it's so good to see you in your original form again."
Xuanwu was stunned. "Is this the Demon Lord himself? He's so handsome, and he's such a good match for our master."
Upon hearing that they were a perfect match, Xiao Xianxian looked over and realized what was going on. She exclaimed, "Oh my god, the Demon Lord is so handsome! Even more handsome than Bao Shuoyu! My master is going to be so happy!"
Yu Xiaolu coughed twice and glared at her fiercely, "What are you saying? You should all go back to your space now. Xuewa, go in too, and arrange a room for him."
Snowman is actually a spirit, not a human, so he can also travel to other dimensions.
"Alright, Master's going to have some alone time with the Demon Lord, let's not disturb him. That kid Bao Shuoyu, cough cough—"
Before Xiaoxianxian could finish speaking, Yu Xiaoluo shooed all the kids into her spatial dimension.
Qingqiu sat down, closed his eyes, and meditated, placing Xuezhi in front of his chest. He slightly opened his mouth, and a white light flashed. The inexhaustible energy from Xuezhi's body was continuously absorbed by Qingqiu like a spring.
Yu Xiaoluo didn't dare to disturb him. She sat beside him and watched, while also keeping an eye on the surroundings. This was a crucial moment for him to rebuild his body, and no one was allowed to disturb him.
Although very few people come to this mountain peak, we still have to be careful.
Just as she feared, Yu Xiaoluo saw a noise in the sky, as if something was flying. Without saying a word, she first cast a protective array on Qingqiu, covering both him and Bao Shuoyu's bodies inside the array, while she guarded the outside.
Before long, she could see clearly that it was a small plane, which stopped right next to them, and five people got out.
And they were all fully armed, with guns in hand. Only the middle-aged man at the very front was not. He looked to be in his forties, not very tall, but he had a very imposing and authoritative presence; he was probably their leader.
He looked at Yu Xiaoluo and Qingqiu with some surprise, "There are actually other people here."
The man spoke with a somewhat stiff accent, and it was unclear where he was from. Suddenly, his expression hardened. "You... you've obtained the Millennium Snow Fungus?"
When he saw Qingqiu and the snow sesame on his chest, his face turned extremely ugly. "They—they actually got the snow sesame!"
He pointed at Qingqiu like a madman and shouted, "Quick, stop him! Stop him! Hit his head, but don't hurt the Lingzhi!"
Without a word, the four men behind her raised their guns and were about to aim at Qingqiu when Yu Xiaoluo heard the noise above her head and began to prepare. Seeing this, she shot out four talismans like arrows and stuck them to their foreheads, instantly immobilizing them.
However, the leading man also seemed to be a person of metaphysics, with an extraordinary status and cultivation. With a few swift movements of his fingers, he broke their curse and then threw a nail-like object at Yu Xiaoluo.
That was a seven-inch Yin nail, extremely insidious. If you were hit by this Yin nail, you would either die or be maimed, and even your soul would be corrupted.
Yu Xiaoluo dodged the attack by sidestepping, and hurriedly summoned four little demons, "Xianxian, Xiaohei, Xuanwu, and Xiaotu, come out quickly to fight the enemy!"
At that very moment, the bullets were already fired. If it weren't for the protective shield, Qingqiu and Bao Shuoyu would probably have been riddled with bullets.
Qingqiu's originally transparent body now had a slight sense of solidity, and it was still reshaping its physical form, with initial results already visible. His eyes were tightly closed, his brows furrowed, and his whole body was trembling slightly; he could hear the sounds of the outside world.
However, this protective shield was extremely vulnerable to such a live-fire attack. Yu Xiaolu shouted, "Brother Qingqiu, you don't need to worry about it. Focus on your work. We'll take care of things here! Bao Shuoyu, return your soul to its place and keep an eye on your master!"
At this moment, Bao Shuoyu's body suddenly moved. He finally returned to his original form, stretched his limbs, and stood in front of Qingqiu, saying, "Okay, I will protect Master, Master's wife, please rest assured."
The four little demons set out. The little rabbit, with the toughest body, stood in front of the other three demons, braving a hail of bullets. With a flick of his wrist, he sent all four men with guns flying. After that, they each chose a target and went their separate ways.
Yu Xiaoluo got into a fight with the man. Because she had to give orders for various things beforehand, she wasn't in the mood to attack and just kept backing down, resulting in a minor injury to her hand.
Now that she saw the four demons appear and the situation had turned around, she had no more reservations and decided to give the man a heavy blow.
The middle-aged man grew increasingly anxious. He hadn't expected that the woman had brought four such powerful demons with her, and his helpers might not be able to attend to this matter anymore. Meanwhile, the man inside who was absorbing the energy of the snow fungus was becoming more and more tangible. Suddenly, he took out a small bottle from his body, which contained sand.
He chanted a spell as he opened the bottle cap, and the sand slowly flowed out.
Yu Xiaoluo suddenly felt something around her freeze, and she couldn't even flick the Xuan Tian whip she had taken out. She was a little confused. Looking around, she saw that Xuanwu had been fighting with an armed man, but now they were both in the same fighting stance and hadn't moved.
Looking inside the protective circle, Bao Shuoyu stood there motionless, his gaze unwavering, while Qingqiu was similarly frozen in place, the light that had shifted when absorbing the snow fungus no longer moving.
She stared in horror at the middle-aged man. What kind of magic was this? It could freeze time.
Only the middle-aged man could move; the sand in his hand was still flowing subtly. He chuckled, "This is my hourglass of time. It can freeze time, and it can also turn back time?"
What? Besides freezing time, you can also rewind time?
Yu Xiaolu was shocked. Who was this person? How could he be so powerful?
She thought of a terrible problem: if this man could turn back time, then the energy that Qingqiu had absorbed would be returned, and the Snow Mushroom would be taken away intact by them. In that case, all their efforts would be in vain.
No! No, absolutely not!
The middle-aged man looked at her with a smile, "You people will never be a match for the people of our Mystic Kingdom. We have everything: modern weapons, ancient and modern supernatural and forbidden arts. Moreover, all kinds of magic are becoming more and more popular in our Mystic Kingdom. As for you, you are almost at the end of your road."
