Chapter 172: Buzhou Mountain (XIV)
In the heavenly world, in front of the paulownia forest.
Although the Lingbao standing in front of him did not have a trace of murderous aura, Xihe still couldn't help but a drop of cold sweat on his forehead.
As the turbid realms of the Three Pure Ones, Lingbao, Yuanshi and Li Boyang never cooperate with other people in the Buzhou Mountain Realm Division. They are the three sharpest knives directly under the Three Pure Ones. Even Xi He dared not make a rash assertion about the cultivation level of the Three Turbid Ones. If things go wrong, they will hit a wall today.
What's more, leaving Si Yuan aside, is he going to go head-to-head with the Heavenly Realm just for a human being?
On the other hand, Lingbao stopped talking after he said that he would not let Lu Ren leave. This was because Lingbao was confident that the person he wanted to capture would never to fly out of the Five Fingers Mountain.
On the other hand, Lu Ren stopped talking.
It's nothing, it's just habit: "I knew it would happen again."
The silence made Lingbao think that no one had any objections, so he said to Xihe with a smile on his face: "Leave him to me."
After hearing this, Lu Ren couldn't help but hold A Bing tightly in his arms - after the Qilin cub turned back to its original form and flew away, the pink rabbit took over Lu Ren's hands.
"When the situation becomes desperate, maybe I can rely on Ah Bing and give it a try." Lu Ren thought to himself, "But - will it be so smooth?"
Thinking of this, Lu Ren looked at Xi He beside him.
Although Lu Ren did not think that Xi He, who was affiliated with the Buzhou Mountain Realm Bureau, would protect him, deep down in his heart, Lu Ren still hoped that Xi He could struggle more or less.
"God bless me, at least don't let me die too soon."
Perhaps God really heard Lu Ren’s prayers, because Xi He, who was cold and indifferent beside him, actually politely declined Lingbao.
"Master Lingbao, I caught this human in the Wutong Forest. He must be a stowaway. I was planning to bring him down the mountain and hand him over to the Kunlun Realm Division for disposal."
After hearing this, Lingbao said, "But this process is wrong. Since he was smuggled to the Heaven Realm, why should he be returned? Naturally, it should be handed over to the Buzhou Mountain Realm Administration for processing."
Lingbao bit his fingers while saying this, looking very distressed.
Xi He's voice was neither humble nor arrogant, as if he had already thought of the answer: "Because once humans enter the punishment prison of the heavenly world, there is only one way out, and that is death. Although smuggling is a serious crime, it is not punishable by death. Moreover, the heavenly world has never had a precedent of accepting human criminals."
Lingbao, who was still confused at first, smiled brightly after hearing what Xihe said: "It's okay, it's okay."
Lingbao's words revealed a sense of innocence, as if everything was natural, but these words made Lu Ren's scalp numb: How can it be okay? It turns out that you are not the only one who has no way out, and that is death.
Lingbao still had an innocent smile on his face, but the words that came out of his mouth made Lu Ren feel terrified: "Because when I just communicated with Yuanshi, he said that Ah Ren might not live to see that day."
Lu Ren, who was originally just feeling chilled, felt his heart instantly turn cold after hearing these words.
"Is this really a celestial being?" Lu Ren couldn't help but wonder, "Why is it that even though he is clearly sentencing someone to death, his tone is so relaxed, as if he is squeezing a bug to death?"
Lingbao saw that Lu Ren's face turned pale and laughed like a silver bell: "Haha, don't be afraid, Ren, I'm just teasing you! You made such a great snowman, I definitely won't let you die."
Maybe Lingbao really wanted to comfort Lu Ren, but the tone of his voice did not provide any comfort to Lu Ren.
As expected , Lingbao continued, "Although Yuanshi just said that you are a spy sent by Kunlun Jiesi, it doesn't matter. I beg them that once the crisis of Sanqing Palace is resolved, I will accept you as my servant. Then you can accompany me to make snowmen for a long time!"
Lu Ren was speechless: Doesn't this sound more terrifying than death?
Fortunately, Xi He still had a conscience. After listening to Ling Bao's narration, he silently took half a step forward and blocked a little bit for Lu Ren without leaving any trace.
Although the action was not obvious, Lingbao still noticed it.
"What's wrong?" Ling Bao pouted, "Don't you want to play with me?"
Xi He did not answer.
Seeing this, Lu Ren leaned forward and asked Xi He in a low voice: "Can you beat him?"
Whether we can escape this disaster today depends on whether we can hold on to this thigh.
Xi He shook his head and said calmly: "You think too much. I can't fight with Master Lingbao for you."
Failed to hug the thigh.
"Ah?" Lu Ren was stunned by these words, "So you don't plan to save me."
Xi He continued slowly, "Although I cannot fight this, if I let you fall into Lord Lingbao's hands, it will be very bad for me... ahem, it will be very bad for Si Yuan."
After saying this, Xi He suddenly asked an irrelevant question: "Are you afraid of heights?"
Although Lu Ren didn't understand why Xi He asked such a strange question at this critical moment, he still answered honestly: "It's still... okay?"
Lu Ren noticed that Xi He seemed to nod slightly after hearing his answer, and then Xi He said to Lu Ren: "Then you have to grit your teeth."
Before Lu Ren could figure out what Xi He was planning, he heard Xi He in front of him say to Ling Bao opposite him: "Don't worry, sir , I will capture this human right away."
As soon as he finished speaking, Xi He turned around and looked at Lu Ren with a cold gaze, seemingly merciless. Then, Xi He pretended to punch Lu Ren. At the same time, Xi He's mouth did not stop, and he was seen muttering something. When Xi He blurted out the last word, Lu Ren only felt a huge push on his waist, and then the whole person took off on the spot and rushed straight into the sky.
The amazing takeoff height was only comparable to that of a rocket. Even Ling Bao beside him couldn't help but open his mouth into an "O" shape: "It's so high!"
Xi He, the instigator of the incident, immediately cleared himself of any involvement in Lu Ren's escape with a blank expression on his face, and immediately turned back to report to Ling Bao: "This man must have brought some magic weapon, he ran really fast. But don't worry, sir, I will set out to chase him immediately."
This is preparation to set out to sea.
"No need," Lingbao unexpectedly rejected Xihe's proposal, "I will catch him myself."
As he spoke, Lingbao started to do stretching exercises. He looked eager to try and was looking forward to the upcoming chasing game. Then Lingbao made a standard starting posture, pushed his foot backwards hard, and rushed out like an arrow.
Lu Ren was flying in the sky, and Ling Bao was chasing him on the ground. The only difference was that Ling Bao had a clear purpose, while Lu Ren was completely confused.
Lingbao initially thought that Lu Ren would go down the mountain directly, and Lu Ren thought so too. But unexpectedly, Xihe did not do so, but sent Lu Ren to a place that neither of them had expected.
Ling Bao looked at the direction where Lu Ren was flying freely, and felt that it was becoming more and more familiar: "Isn't this direction the Sanqing Temple?"
Yes and no.
Xi He knew that it was unrealistic to send Lu Ren down Buzhou Mountain in front of Ling Bao. With Ling Bao's cultivation, he would catch up with Lu Ren if he wanted to. Without protection, it was only a matter of time before Lu Ren was caught.
So Xi He could only send Lu Ren to the only safe place he could think of in the entire Buzhou Mountain at that time - to Si Yuan.
So, Lu Ren is essentially more like a precision-guided missile now, and his target is Si Yuan.
However, this plan was actually made by Xi He in a panic, so there is always a loophole - he never thought about how Lu Ren should be implemented.
As Lu Ren watched himself rushing towards the ground at a speed of 80 miles per hour, he felt a revolving lantern in front of him. Lu Ren only had time to raise the pink bunny in his hand to cover his face. After all, few people have the courage to face their own death.
The good news is that A Bing is no idler: countless huge tentacles stretched out from the mouth of the pink plush rabbit, supporting the ground, instantly weakening Lu Ren's falling trend.
The bad news is that under the tentacle is Lu Ren's navigation target this time, and the target is Si Yuan. What's even more unfortunate is that Si Yuan is fighting with someone in the Sanqing Temple.
In the heavenly realm, inside the Sanqing Palace.
Si Yuanzheng and Dongjun were standing side by side, their breathing was slightly rapid. After all, it was a bit difficult for the two of them to resist the Three Purities. But in the end, no one was serious, so they could still hold on.
At this time, Si Yuan, Dong Jun, and San Qing were fighting each other, and the outcome was often decided in . However, in the blink of an eye, an uninvited guest suddenly appeared - countless huge black tentacles fell from the sky. Although these tentacles were nothing but smoke without substance, due to their large number, they managed to wrap up the five unsuspecting people in an instant.
The chaotic energy exudes an endless breath of returning to the abyss, and the black tentacles cover the sky and the sun, like a strange god descending to the earth.
The blazing flames were completely extinguished by the chaotic energy in an instant, and the full view of the Sanqing Hall was instantly revealed to everyone:
Near the door, Chang Cheng and Ying Zhao were lying on the ground, and Bian Cheng was smiling as he stepped on them with one foot, seemingly exerting force secretly, and the screams of the two people below became louder and louder.
Going further in, Li Boyang, Yuanshi, Yinglong, Donghuang Taiyi and Lu Qingzhou were all injured to varying degrees: Li Boyang's eyes turned into two panda eyes; Yuanshi's originally long white beard was now burned to only black charred residue; Yinglong had a bloody mark on his face; Donghuang Taiyi had varying degrees of abrasions on the corners of his eyes; Lu Qingzhou's sleeves were chopped off and his arm was also injured.
It is obvious who is the more ruthless one.
But the most eye-catching thing is the sudden appearance of this huge ruins. After all, the ruins have now captured all the top leaders of the two world bureaus in one go.
Li Boyang was so surprised by this sudden change that he was speechless. He looked up at the top of these huge tentacles and was shocked to recognize Lu Ren at the first time - Lu Ren was sitting on the top of the huge tentacles. Although his expression looked innocent, anyone with a discerning eye could see that these ruins were his masterpiece.
Li Boyang was stunned and shouted to Lu Ren: "Lu Ren! Put down Xu Hai! Don't do anything stupid. We can talk about anything we are dissatisfied with! If it is because of the previous incident in Shanhai Realm, I can apologize to you!"
Of course Ying Long also saw Lu Ren. When he heard Li Boyang's shout, his eyes rolled instantly and he followed suit, "Ren! Is it because the director has not increased your salary? Even if it is, you don't have to be so extreme!"
