Chapter 118 Obtaining the Hunyuan Pearl
Gao Huohuo frowned slightly, thought for a moment, looked at Su Ruoyun again, and asked softly:
"Fellow Daoist Su, if I actively feed spiritual energy to the Hunyuan Pearl, will it be able to absorb it faster?"
Su Ruoyun looked calm and nodded slightly.
“In theory, yes.
However, time is running out, so this action is not necessary."
After hearing this, Gao Huohuo nodded and said no more.
When Su Ruoyun and Zhong Hanshang returned to the state of cultivation, Gao Huohuo's eyes flashed.
Quietly summon Ziying and ask him to pay close attention to the movements outside.
She took a deep breath, raised her hand and sent a stream of spiritual power towards the Hunyuan Pearl, continuously transmitting her own spiritual power to the Hunyuan Pearl.
She thought to herself that these people outside were watching with eager eyes and had ulterior motives.
Although he appeared very confident in front of Zhong Hanshang just now, there were too many variables after all.
It would be safer to end this treasure-hunting mission as soon as possible.
Who would have thought that the moment Hunyuanzhu received this external spiritual power.
Suddenly, a powerful suction force erupted, madly devouring the remaining energy around it.
Gao Huohuo only felt a huge force coming, and his hands seemed to be tightly locked by a pair of invisible iron clamps, and he couldn't break free at all.
She was shocked, but fortunately, there was a system, so her spiritual power reserves were temporarily safe.
However, in order to avoid being noticed by others, Gao Huohuo pretended to be exhausted.
With his teeth clenched, beads of sweat rolled down his forehead and dripped onto the ground, splashing up fine dust.
In this way, after a long wait, five hours passed, and the crazy suction force suddenly stopped.
At this moment, Gao Huohuo felt as if his legs were filled with lead. They were extremely heavy, sore and numb, and he almost lost consciousness.
She moved her feet with difficulty and slowly withdrew her hands.
The hands had become pale and trembled slightly from maintaining the same posture for a long time.
He turned around and moved back to his seat step by step, then closed his eyes and took a short nap, trying to regain some strength.
On the other side, Su Ruoyun and Zhong Hanshang opened their eyes almost at the same time when Gao Huohuo closed his eyes for a nap.
His gaze subconsciously turned towards Gao Huohuo, and a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes.
When they noticed each other's gazes, their eyes were like two intersecting lightning bolts, colliding briefly in the air and then avoiding each other.
Su Ruoyun's beautiful eyes narrowed slightly, and a hint of vigilance flashed in her eyes.
She wanted to see if Gao Huohuo had any inappropriate thoughts about the Hunyuan Pearl?
That's why she didn't say anything, but Zhong Hanshang had obviously stopped practicing a long time ago, so why was he deliberately keeping silent like her?
Did he want to take advantage of Gao Huohuo's depleted spiritual power to attack them both?
Zhong Hanshang also had a stern expression. He hadn't spoken a word because he wanted to find out Gao Huohuo's true strength.
He was also keeping an eye on Gao Huohuo's situation, and if she couldn't hold on any longer, he would rush over immediately.
But Su Ruoyun clearly saw that Gao Huohuo was transmitting spiritual power to her Hunyuan Pearl.
It was very difficult to persist, but he remained indifferent. It seemed that Su Ruoyun and Gao Huohuo were not really friends with each other.
Only Gao Huohuo kept his achievements and fame hidden, pretending to take a nap, but in fact he was also analyzing in secret.
Su Ruoyun didn't say anything, probably because she wanted to test her to see if she would take the opportunity to take away the Hunyuan Pearl?
Then why did Zhong Hanshang do this? Was he planning to take advantage of her spiritual power being depleted and steal her weapon?
It seems that the three of them have met their match this time.
They are both testing and guarding against each other, so it depends on who makes the better move and becomes the final winner.
When Gao Huohuo pretended to have a good rest and woke up, Su Ruoyun had already got the Hunyuan Pearl in her hand.
Seeing that she woke up, he planned to take her away.
Gao Huohuo took the opportunity to unlock the Seven-Step Lock for Zhong Hanshang, said goodbye to him, and left with Su Ruoyun the same way.
"Huohuo, I need to find a place to practice in seclusion for a few days to fully understand the Hunyuan Pearl.
Find a place to wait for me for a few days, and then we can go find the Mustard Seed Space together."
Gao Huohuo thought about it and told Su Ruoyun about his plan.
"Fellow Daoist Su, we still have to go to Luoxia City to find the Mustard Seed Space.
How about I go and look for some clues first, and when you finish your retreat, come find me directly."
Su Ruoyun patted her shoulder and reminded her worriedly:
"Okay, then you have to be careful when you're alone. Remember to leave the city before dark!"
Gao Huohuo nodded cautiously and flew away on his sword.
After the two left, Zhong Hanshang gently untied the barrier he had set up earlier and walked out steadily.
As he walked forward, he was secretly surprised.
He didn't expect that the barrier set up by Gao Huohuo, a mere Jindan-stage cultivator, was so powerful that it was almost as powerful as the barrier set up by him, a Yuanying-stage cultivator.
"Han Shang, you're finally out!
Where have you been for so long?
I'm so worried, are you okay?"
Chen Wanzhen had sharp eyes and spotted Zhong Hanshang at a glance, and hurried to his side.
His eyes were full of concern and anxiety, and his tone was so intimate that it seemed as if the two were close lovers.
Seeing this, Zhong Hanshang frowned slightly, a hint of impatience flashed in his eyes, and his tone was cold without a trace of warmth:
"Fellow Daoist Chen, please respect yourself. I hope you can treat me with courtesy in the future and just call me Fellow Daoist Zhong.
I have searched this dark river carefully and found no trace of the evil cultivator.
As for my personal affairs, I won't bother you with any more trouble. Goodbye."
After saying this, he bowed slightly to everyone. Although he was polite, his attitude was extremely distant.
Then he turned around without hesitation and strode away.
Zhong Hanshang's cold attitude immediately caused an uproar around him.
A monk who was standing up for the Saint stood up and said indignantly:
"Fellow Daoist Zhong, this is too inhumane!
Although he is only focused on pursuing the illusory avenue, he still has to consider the saint's reputation.
"The Saint has been working tirelessly for him these days, running around everywhere. How could he treat her like this?"
The words were full of accusations against Zhong Hanshang and defense of the saint.
Seeing this, some people started to talk:
"Brother Daoist Zhong is extremely powerful, why would he need our help?
In my opinion, it's just wishful thinking and self-indulgence."
As soon as these words were spoken, it was like a bombshell, shocking everyone around.
Although everyone agreed in their hearts that what he said was true, saying it so bluntly was undoubtedly slapping the saint in the face in public.
Who wouldn't be afraid of offending the jewel in the crown of the Liuli Sect?
For a moment, everyone subconsciously took a few steps back and kept a distance from the person who was speaking, for fear of being implicated.
Chen Wanzhen looked calm, as if she had not heard these outrageous words at all.
Only her slightly trembling hands revealed her inner anger.
She took light steps, turned around and walked out of the dark river silently.
However, as soon as he returned to his residence, the anger that had been suppressed for a long time erupted like a volcano.
As soon as she raised her hand, the objects in the house were destroyed and smashed to pieces.
Vases, ornaments, tables and chairs...anything within reach was shattered into pieces by her rage.
If her men hadn't been quick to stop her in time, I'm afraid the whole house would have been turned upside down by her.
