Chapter 302: A Smart Move
After saying that, Gao Huohuo's red figure leaped out of the window and disappeared into the thick night in the blink of an eye.
Zhong Hanshang looked in the direction she left, and the corners of his cold lips raised slightly.
His slender fingers gently stroked the window frame, and then his figure flashed and turned into a dark shadow following closely behind.
When Gao Huohuo followed the sneaky figures in front of him to a remote village, he could smell a strong smell of blood from a long distance away.
The night wind carried a rusty smell that was nauseating.
"It's Chen Wanzhen's work again..." Gao Huohuo's eyes turned cold and his steps stopped abruptly.
She flicked her fingertips, a flash of light passed by, and instantly a clone that looked exactly like Chen Wan'er appeared.
"Zhong Hanshang," she turned to look at the man who had appeared silently behind her and asked in a low voice, "Do you have an invisibility device?"
Zhong Hanshang took out a cloak from his storage ring, stretched out his arms, and covered the two of them.
This action made Gao Huohuo's heart tremble suddenly——
"This... is called the Holy Light Vestment?"
Zhong Hanshang's pupils suddenly contracted: "Huohuo, have you remembered anything?"
Gao Huohuo nodded slightly, and a few fragments flashed through his mind.
"It seems...we once hid under a cloak like this..."
Zhong Hanshang's voice was a little tense, "In the City Lord's Mansion of Luoxia City, that was the second time you saved me."
A second time? Had she saved him several times?
Gao Huohuo raised an eyebrow, "What about the first time?"
"In the dark river," Zhong Hanshang's eyes were blazing. "I was stuck and couldn't move. You used your fists to smash the rocks that trapped me."
Gao Huohuo's heart skipped a beat. Could it be that she had been seduced by Zhong Hanshang's beauty so early?
Otherwise, why would she, a little girl, do such a thing?
Looking down at his jade-white hands, it was hard to imagine how bloody and mangled they looked.
Then I thought, she has a system and the side effects have been diverted, so she did that on purpose?
She caught a glimpse of Zhong Hanshang's affectionate eyes, and her ears unconsciously turned red, and she quickly changed the subject.
"Let's get down to business first. I want to see what they're up to."
The two men hid under the robes and approached quietly, only to see that "Chen Wan'er" was surrounded by more than a dozen monks.
Those people were holding torches, and in the light of the fire, the veil of the clone was faintly visible.
Gao Huohuo curled up the corner of his lips in a sneer and took out a photo bead from the storage ring.
Since they want to frame someone, let’s see who has the better move!
"Witch!" the leading monk shouted sternly, "You've sucked all the blood and essence out of the thirty-eight people in this village and killed them all!"
Upon hearing this, Gao Huohuo dug his nails deep into his palms.
To frame her, they slaughtered the entire village!
Zhong Hanshang, who was beside her, felt a sudden chill all over his body, and he was only able to suppress his murderous intent after she gently pressed his wrist.
"If you know what's good for you, surrender!"
Another monk brandished his sword, "When the elders from all factions arrive, I'll make sure your soul flies away!"
The clone "Chen Wan'er" snorted coldly and deliberately lowered her voice:
"Just you? Do you know who I am? My master can turn you into ashes with just a flick of his finger!"
"Arrogant!" the monks laughed.
"You're just a Mahayana cultivator who relied on sorcery to reach the Mahayana stage. Do you really think you're such a big shot?"
Gao Huohuo narrowed his eyes.
It seems that Chen Wanzhen has spread rumors that her cultivation level is inflated.
The clones coordinated with each other and seemed to be in a mess, but they were actually dodging the attacks with ease.
"Huohuo," Zhong Hanshang whispered, "Are you sure it was Chen Wanzhen who did it?"
"Why?" Gao Huohuo said with a half-smile, "Are you feeling sorry for her? She's made enemies with the whole world just for you."
Zhong Hanshang reached out and grabbed Gao Huohuo's wrist, his eyes suddenly cold: "If it really is her, I will put an end to it myself."
As he was speaking, bursts of breaking air sounds were heard in the distance.
Representatives from various factions arrived one after another. Gao Huohuo counted and found that there were people from seven major sects.
Chen Wanzhen has been working hard over the years to be able to mobilize so many forces at the same time in the middle of the night.
"I just started my retreat, and you attacked me late at night. What's your intention in bringing me here?"
The clone's voice suddenly became clear, completely different from before.
The attackers were visibly startled. Retreat? She was clearly in her room, talking to someone!
This is different from the script they rehearsed!
But the arrow was on the string, so I had to bite the bullet and shout out the lines:
"Witch, you practice evil skills and harm the people. Today is the day you die!"
During the fight, the clone's veil was blown off by the sword energy.
She covered her face in panic, but her face, which was 90% similar to Chen Wanzhen, was revealed between her fingers.
"Oh my God! Isn't that... the saint?" someone in the crowd exclaimed.
"My fellow Taoist, you are surrounded by everyone. It is better for you to surrender as soon as possible." A disciple of Kunlun Sect advised.
"Bah! You, the Kunlun Sect, want to convict me. Do you know who my master is?"
After Chen Wan'er finished speaking, she slapped the disciple and took the opportunity to run outside.
"Oh my god, it's really the Saint of Liuli Sect!"
The Kunlun Sect disciple was the first to react, shouting, "Why don't you chase them? If you wait any longer, they'll get away."
Gao Huohuo and Zhong Hanshang hid under the Holy Light Robe and watched the scene in front of them.
"Huo Huo, what are you going to do next?"
"Of course I'm helping her prove her guilt. If she doesn't want to shift the blame onto me, then I'll shift it back."
Seeing that the people behind were about to catch up, the clone suddenly attacked.
He repelled everyone with one palm and deliberately used Chen Wanzhen's unique body skills to escape towards the alliance.
Gao Huohuo and Zhong Hanshang took the opportunity to show up, pretending to have rushed over after hearing the news.
"What are you guys doing?" Gao Huohuo looked at the pursuers with a look of surprise.
"Leader!" The monks' faces turned pale. "That evil woman killed the entire village and injured our disciples!"
Gao Huohuo was shocked and raised his hand, and a golden light trapped his clone.
When "Chen Wan'er"'s face was completely exposed in front of everyone, there was an uproar at the scene.
"Saint?"
Gao Huohuo took a half step back in disbelief, "Didn't you say you were going back to Liuli Sect to retreat? How could it be..."
"Gao Huohuo!" the clone screamed hysterically, "If it weren't for you, the position of alliance leader would still be mine. I wouldn't have ended up like this!"
"Where do you get that? You were the one who offered to step aside that day. Everyone present heard it clearly."
Gao Huohuo turned towards his clone and continued with a look of heartache:
"Saint, you can't practice evil techniques and harm innocent people just to improve your cultivation as quickly as possible!"
She turned to the stunned representatives of the various factions and asked, "Do you think what I said is correct?"
The scene was dead silent.
What was going on now? Was the Saint actually practicing evil techniques to improve her cultivation?
The monks sent by Chen Wanzhen were pale as death. They had never expected that things would turn out like this.
Someone secretly crushed the communication jade talisman, but it was accurately shot down by Zhong Hanshang's sword energy.
In the moonlight, Gao Huohuo's red clothes fluttered, and a cold arc appeared at the corner of his lips.
This drama has just begun.
