Chapter 143 Well-reasoned
Monk Dayu has a characteristic, which is that he will take action when it is time to do so, and he will not let things get out of hand even if the other party is just a group of small fry.
This was what happened when the Sky-Devouring Locusts attacked a thousand years ago. Before the Sky-Devouring Locusts could cause any damage to the city defense formation, the governor in the fusion stage rushed out and exploded the Sky-Devouring Locusts.
Just when everyone thought that the locust plague would end, Du Chen's face suddenly changed drastically. He opened his mouth towards the direction of the Fallen Demon Plain with a cold face, as if he wanted to warn someone. But before he could utter a word, the space where Du Chen was located collapsed inwards, and chaos descended.
Du Chen seemed to say something anxiously, but all the sounds were blocked. In a blink of an eye, the cultivator in the fusion stage was swallowed up by the chaos and disappeared without a trace.
Before everyone could react, the overwhelming swarm of sky-devouring locusts rolled down again, but this time there were no cultivators in the fusion stage to take action. The cultivators and mortals in the city could only watch as the city defense formation was swallowed up bit by bit by the sky-devouring locusts.
When the last corner of the city defense formation was covered, countless pairs of blood-red eyes, like stars, pulled the entire Nanyang City into an unknown panic.
Just as Li Yanmo was about to make a move, a hand reached out and grabbed the back of his collar. After a familiar dizzying moment, Li Yanmo had arrived in the bamboo forest. Hong Muer was standing in front of him with her arms folded across her chest, and Feng Ling was standing beside him.
Li Yanmo immediately understood the situation. "It was you who triggered the Sky Devouring Locusts and attacked Duchen?"
"No, it was done by the remnants of the Fierce Emperor."
"... All right, all right, the remnants of the Fierce Emperor, the remnants of the Fierce Emperor."
Li Yanmo rolled his eyes.
The remnants of Emperor Lie were just a fabrication by him. Those princes would never want to be Emperor Yu, and the reasons why those prefects and ministers supported the various princes were also very realistic.
Prince xx is so outstanding that he must not be wasted on the position of Emperor Yu.
So how could there be any remnants in the Dayu Dynasty?
"Hey - why would I lie to you? We just want the evidence in the mausoleum to prove our innocence, but we don't want to break up with Dayu! It's not good for us to attack a governor in the fusion stage. Don't you know that the Tianyin Demon Sect was severely slaughtered by the Dayu Dynasty some time ago!"
Hong Muer was so angry that she kept stamping her feet. She was probably really angry, and the whole bamboo forest was clanging with the sound of her stamping.
"Okay, I get it, I believe you—"
Li Yanmo took a look at Hong Muer's cute and crystal clear feet and quickly stepped back more than ten meters.
"So you plan to take this opportunity to enter the tomb of the Fierce Emperor?"
Feng Ling was silent for a while and then nodded. "This is a God-given opportunity. The remnants of the Fierce Emperor dared to act so ostentatiously. I'm afraid they are fully confident of opening the Fierce Emperor's tomb. If we miss this opportunity, it will be difficult to enter the Fierce Emperor's tomb again and find those evidences."
Li Yanmo looked at Feng Ling, then at Hong Muer, and raised his hands above his head, "My cultivation is so low, are you sure you want to bring me along as a burden?"
"Why - we keep our word. The existence of the remnants of the Fierce Emperor was speculated by you. They probably took such radical actions because of your repeated probing. Since you have made contributions, we will naturally give you corresponding rewards and take you into the mausoleum to make meritorious contributions. As for the problem of holding us back..."
Hong Muer put her hands on her hips and grinned, revealing her fangs.
"You're so bad that you can't even hold us back."
"...Then I'll rely on you two."
Li Yanmo sighed helplessly.
"Don't worry, I will protect you."
After Feng Ling made this promise, he pinched his fingers to perform a spell. The entire bamboo forest was shaken and pulled up. All the green bamboos gathered in Feng Ling's palm and turned into a bamboo sword.
Li Yanmo had the secret of the pendant on the boss's leg, so he didn't feel embarrassed even if Feng Ling carried him around. He could even cross his arms across his chest and pose like a boss.
The three of them flew through the clouds and arrived above the mountains behind Nanyang City.
The spreading dense forest and bamboo grove conceal all the secrets.
There were already several people standing on magic weapons on the mountain, waiting.
Some of them are acquaintances.
When Xuan Lingzi saw Li Yanmo, Feng Ling and Hong Muer arriving together, and looking calm and confident, he was stunned at first, but then he breathed a sigh of relief.
The disciples behind Xuan Lingzi all stood in awe and cast admiring glances at him.
Li Yanmo also saw Xuan Lingzi, but did not say hello. Instead, he frowned.
The reason is simple: Zhuge Liumu and Zhuge Moer are also there.
But their situation was not good. Zhuge Liumu's limbs were tied to a stick like a wild boar, and his mouth was blocked. Zhuge Moer was grabbed by the back of the collar, and he was as helpless as a wild cat with its neck grabbed.
Feng Ling said dissatisfiedly, "What do you mean by this? We said from the beginning that we must not resort to violence, so as not to give Dayu a reason to criticize us."
"This... Fellow Daoist Feng, we don't want this to happen either. Zhuge Liumu... said that as long as we give him some spirit stones, he will go with us, but he ran away as soon as we gave him the spirit stones... There's nothing we can do," the young man who captured Zhuge Liumu complained bitterly, "The remnants of the Fierce Emperor will definitely try to kidnap Zhuge Liumu. We will definitely let him go, but the remnants of the Fierce Emperor are different. What if they capture him, open the mausoleum, and kill the Zhuge family? Wouldn't our Taoist sect be blamed?"
It is well-reasoned and convincing.
Feng Ling thought about it and realized that this was indeed the case, so he bowed to Zhuge Liumu and said, "Mr. Zhuge, please forgive me. After we open the tomb of Emperor Lie, we will ensure that you return home safely."
“Wuwuwu——”
"Thank you Mr. Zhuge for your cooperation."
At this time, the young man looked at Li Yanmo again. Li Yanmo's strange cultivation made the young man's expression strange, "I wonder which sect this person is from?"
"...I can't tell you, please forgive me." Li Yanmo turned his face away with a stiff expression, "If my master knew that I spread the news, I would have a hard time explaining it."
The geniuses from the super sects present took a look at Xuan Lingzi and others and suddenly realized.
That really can't be said.
Hong Muer put her hands on her hips and said, "Let me make it clear first. Thanks to Fellow Daoist Li, the remnants of the Fierce Emperor were forced to take action in advance. We now have this great opportunity."
"This...thank you, Fellow Daoist Li."
Hearing this, several geniuses from super sects present thanked Li Yanmo one after another.
Zhuge Moer stared at Li Yanmo with an expression of disbelief, but Li Yanmo returned the greetings one by one as if he had seen nothing.
Seeing that Li Yanmo pretended not to see, Zhuge Moer curled his lips without leaving a trace, his eyes turned again, and raised his hand to point at Li Yanmo, "I want Master Li to look after me!"
The young man who was holding Zhuge Moer raised his eyebrows and said with a smile, "Give me a reason."
"He's the worst here!"
“…”
"Friend Li, please take care of this girl."
Facing Li Yanmo's subtle gaze, the young man spread his hands.
"She gave me a reason, and I have to keep my promise. What if they say something to Dayu when they go back?"
