Chapter 433 A terrified old treant
Yanyang Town.
Su Yang guarded alongside the icy-cold lake, and he looked a little embarrassed.
Looking at the shimmering water, Su Li spoke slowly, “Is this the opportunity you talked about?”
Su Yang gave a hollow laughter, “Senior, as you’ve seen, the streets in Yanyang Town are empty. It’s said that there is a water monster that can eat people. Yuxu Sect has sent Pang Hua, an inherited disciple, to investigate that. When I was a hidden disciple of Su Family, I have inquired of Pang Hua about that. He will certainly be here in next several days!”
“We’ve been here for two days.”
Su Mu stood aside and didn’t forget to add his remark, which hurt Su Yang’s heart so much. And Su Yang didn’t dare to meet Su Li’s gaze.
As a sudden gust of wind blew, Su Li disappeared at her original spot in the blink of an eye.
Su Yang responded quickly. He turned around and found a figure appeared in the middle of the lake from nowhere. It was Pang Hua!
“He’s in the lake. No wonder I didn’t find him!”
Su Yang suddenly understood. Before Pang Hua responded to the words, he saw a shadow fall from the sky, and then he lost his consciousness then.
On the shore, five minutes later.
Seeing Su Li retrieved the silk thread from her fingertips, Su Yang and Su Mu got a pale face.
After Su Li removed her hands, Pang Hua opened his eyes blankly. As soon as he saw Su Li, he got up at once and bowed hurriedly.
“Master!”
This word made Su Yang’s blood freeze and Su Mu feel nervous.
Pang Hua was at the peak stage of Jindan Realm. Now he was perfectly controlled by Su Jiuzhou in a few minutes?
“Call me Mister.”
Su Li glanced at Pang Hua and found the same enthusiasm in his eyes as that of Su Yuanhai. She asked with no expression in her eyes, “What did you find underwater?”
“Mister, there really is a water monster!”
Pang Hua did not hesitate to take out the mountainous corpse of the water monster from his storage space and threw it on the ground. He said in puzzlement, “However, this monster was just a very common otter in the water, and nobody knew how it grew to such an enormous size.”
“Geeze, so big!”
Su Yang was amazed and went up to touch the hard skin of the giant otter, “The skin can be made into a spiritual armor of the lowest grade.”
Once Su Li saw the otter corpse, her gaze changed instantly. She jumped to its head, made a gesture, and stabbed her flying sword into it. Soon, a transparent fragment was brought out by the flying sword.
“What’s this?”
Su Yang and Su Mu looked at each other. Both of them did not recognize the fragment adhering to Su Li’s flying sword.
Su Li looked solemn. She sensed the vibration from the mirror ring at her waist. She narrowed her eyes slightly and pretended to wipe over the storage space. And she murmured in her heart, “Black Lotus, put it away.”
The Black Lotus Ring knew that it was an inappropriate time. It secretly appeared and collected the fragment without the usual nagging.
As soon as the fragment was put away, the mirror ring stopped vibrating immediately. The transparent beast crept in the space at the edge of the mirror ring with a grave expression.
Maybe she… found it?
But if it was found, why didn’t Su Li have no actions? It’s impossible!
It did kill her in her previous life…
“Mister?”
Pang Hua saw Su Li was stunned on the otter’s head after a series of movements. He could not help but remind her.
Su Li returned to her mind and a smile showed on her face, “Well done. I have found the reason. It really ate something that it should not eat. This mission is done. Go back to the sect now.”
Once Pang Hua saw Su Li’s smile, he felt extremely flattered and nodded his head.
“As for you two…”
Su Li turned to Su Yang and Su Mu who were out of their minds. They both subconsciously stepped back. After they realized that, they felt embarrassed.
“Take it easy!”
Su Li glanced at Su Mu and stopped her sight on the face of Su Yang who showed an awkward smile, “I can do that to you whenever I want, but it’s not necessary. Su Yang, don’t forget why you turned to me.”
Su Yang took a deep breath and said with a long face, “Senior, I know, but… I harmed him! Is there any chance that he could be healed?”
Su Mu looked at him in surprise, because Su Yang in his memory… was not so kind.
Su Li stared at Su Yang but did not give him an answer. She instructed them with a low voice, “Since you were sent to the Chaos Zone, your identities have been possibly suspected by Su Family. It is unsuitable for you to return to the Head Branch for now. Go to Su Yuanhai. He is one of mine. Go back to the Head Branch to check until you get the news that someone comes back from the Chaos Zone. Understand?”
Hearing this, Su Yang was relieved in his heart, and promised by patting his chest, “Don’t worry, Senior! I am much smarter than this blockhead. Even if he dies, I will not die or betray you.”
Su Mu looked away and wasn’t willing to care about Su Yang.
“Let’s go, Pang Hua.”
Su Li didn’t say more. In the blink of an eye, she and Pang Hua turned into a stream of light and disappeared in the sky.
Su Yang kept a big smile on his face until Su Li disappeared in his sight. He gasped and fell to the ground with a scared look.
“Oh my god, she has scared the hell out of me! What kind of soul tempting skill was that? After Pang Hua was hit by that, he was willing to do anything for Su Jiuzhou. Do you think we are also manipulated by her?”
“Pang Hua will never call the name of Su Jiuzhou.”
Su Mu added his remarks again.
Su Yang rubbed his face hard and his expression became serious, “I think something is wrong. Does she have no worries about letting us go? Doesn’t she worry that we will flee to the end of the world and never come back to Jiuzhou Region?”
“I will go to the seventh branch of the Su Family.”
Su Mu glanced coldly at Su Yang, “You feel free to leave.”
“I…”
Su Yang almost broke down. After a period of confusion, he looked up and gritted his teeth, “If I could beat you, I would tie you up in a bag and carry you around. How could I waste time in Jiuzhou Region?”
Su Mu glanced with his icy blue eyes over Su Yang’s indignant face. He turned away and left a sentence.
“I’m about to break through the middle stage of Yuanying Realm.”
“…”
In front of the main gate of Yuxu Sect, Pang Hua held Su Li’s tiny hand and calmly walked into the big tactical matrix for protecting the sect. Disciples passing by saluted him when seeing them and some could not help but ask,
“Senior Fellow Apprentice, who is this girl?”
Pang Hua smiled and replied, “An orphan from Yanyang Town. She is lonely and helpless, so I brought her back.”
“Oh! Senior Fellow Apprentice, you have a golden heart!”
“Senior Fellow Apprentice is so kind. I will also try next year. Maybe I could join the peak of Senior Fellow Apprentice Pang and get his instructions.”
“This little girl is a blessing in disguise. Since Senior Fellow Apprentice Pang will personally teach her, she may become a leading female disciple of Yuxu Sect in the future!”
From the mountain gate to his peak, Pang Hua heard praises all the way. Inherited disciples were just inferior to the holy boy or the holy girl and had a high status in the sect. Pang Hua had been used to those bootlickers.
But this time with Su Li, he was scared to sweat, for fear that those exaggerated words offended Su Li.
“It was lucky that the Mister was absent-minded all the way. Maybe she didn’t hear that?
Soon, they landed in the grand hall at the peak. Before Pang Hua had time to apologize for what happened on the road, he was slapped unconscious by Su Li.
After taking out the soul-controlling silk thread, Su Li cast another sleep spell on Pang Hua and left the hall for the Tea Peak.
Birds were singing and flowers were fragrant in the cloud-covered mountains. Snow-white cranes were flying now and then, while laughter and shouts of Yuxu disciples during practicing could be heard.
Su Li made the gesture expressionlessly. Then the Tactical Matrix for Camouflage covered her whole body. Although there are disciples practicing flying swords around her, no one could see her.
Until she approached the Tea Peak, a light flashed over her calm eyes. She landed at the halfway of the Tea Peak. The universe ring glowed. Su Li put on a stealth cloak and moved quickly among the mountain rocks.
“Hm? A rat sneaked in…”
The Immortal Tea Plant gently swayed. There was no change above the ground, while a human face emerged in the core of the Immortal Tea Plant underground. Countless root hair shot like lightning in the direction where Su Li was located.
“Senior Bizhui, I mean no harm.”
At this time, Su Li’s clear voice echoed around the core of the tea plant through underground. All the root hairs stopped instantly. A slightly gloomy and old tone sounded in Su Li’s ears, “Little friend, who told you my name?”
“You told me, Senior.”
The clear voice came closer and Su Li’s outline was revealed. The human face in the core took a good look at the outline but could not recognize her.
“Junior, I may have lived long enough, but I am not too old to confuse my memory. How dare you lie to me?”
The Tea Plant said with anger, but that did not stop Su Li from approaching.
In the blink of an eye, Su Li already stood in front of the core. She took off the cloak, and let all the roots point at her body like sharp swords. Then she smiled sweetly, “Senior, do you still remember the agreement you made with somebody? If I could return here one day, I will release you.”
Bizhui’s face instantly changed, “You are that… Su Li! Are you still alive? Impossible!!!”
“I died but came back to life.”
Su Li said frankly. Bizhui suspiciously looked at Su Li’s face. After a long time, he burst into laughter, “Yuxu Sect is so interesting. After so many years, they send a youth of Zhuji Realm to test me. Are they thinking that I am trapped by a tactical matrix and do not dare to kill people?!”
“Senior Bizhui, do not get angry. There is no need to test me. If the people of Yuxu Sect find me, neither you nor I will benefit.”
Su Li still looked calm, “Today, I will release you. However… I’d like to make an appointment with you.”
There was no anger on the old face, but a smile. He said slowly, “Tell me then. It has been a long time since someone came here. So, I’ll listen to you.”
Hiss!
Without a word, Su Li turned over her palm and a flying sword emerged on it. She cut through her left palm and the crimson blood dripped on a root.
Only a drop of blood made the rune of the huge and complex tactical matrix appear. It looked like an earthworm wrapping around the core of the Tea Plant.
Then, Bizhui found that the crimson blood had turned into dull black and blended into the rune. And then it just left a small and unobtrusive black dot.
“There… is a flaw in the Dragon Trapped Tactical Matrix!”
Bizhui was horrified when he sensed the changes of the roots. He stared at Su Li with countless roots trembling and his huge eyes showed human’s fear. He said incoherently with a trembling voice,
“Your blood… What did you get this time? Su Li, the daughter of Luck… It’s really you!”
