Su Zimo returned to the back of the Golden Lion and was prepared to leave.
Biting her cherry lips gently, Tang Shiyun mustered her courage and cupped her fists. "Fellow Daoist Su, it's already dark and we have to find a place to rest as soon as possible. Since the misunderstanding has been resolved, why don't we travel together so that we can take care of one another? "
In the ancient battlefield, the night was the domain of many demon beasts and mutated living beings!
This place was only opened once every hundred years. Everything grew wildly and beasts roamed freely – many powerful living beings were awakened from their slumber!
For most cultivators, traveling through the ancient battlefield at night was equivalent to courting death.
Of course, Su Zimo was fearless against that!
Just as he was about to reject, Tang Shiyun continued, "I know of an ancient city that's the closest to here. It's a day's journey and many cultivators reside there."
In the ancient battlefield, there were many ancient cities left behind from the ancient era that could be used to defend against ferocious beasts.
If there were powerful sects guarding the ancient cities, they could even defend against most beast stampedes!
Tang Shiyun continued, "Furthermore, I heard that Glass Palace has been occupying that ancient city for the past few years."
When he heard that, Su Zimo raised his brow slightly, as though he was tempted.
When she saw that slight change, Tang Shiyun was delighted and said hurriedly,
"Glass Palace is one of the immortal sects and is the strongest body tempering super sect in the cultivation world. In fact, their legacy disciples can even fight against ferocious beasts bare-handed! With that super sect guarding the ancient city, there won't be any danger. "
Initially, Su Zimo was not interested in the ancient city.
However, when he heard about Glass Palace, he changed his mind.
Back in Tianhuang Mainland, he had said that the 13 cities of Yan Country would pay with blood!
Su Zimo nodded. "Alright, I'll have to trouble you to lead the way then."
"It's fine, it's no trouble at all."
Tang Shiyun replied gleefully.
On the other side, Zhu Yue's panting had already calmed down.
He was not injured to begin with and had already recovered after resting for a while.
However, when he heard the conversation between Tang Shiyun and Su Zimo, his expression darkened!
He lowered his head and his long hair covered his face. His eyes shone coldly as a thought lingered in his mind.
He now had two choices.
First, he had to bear with it for the time being and gain a better understanding of this person before looking for an opportunity.
The second option was to strike now and unleash his full cultivation. He would release the Jin Dan avatar and not give this person a chance to get close to him!
Zhu Yue hesitated for a long time but did not make a move in the end.
He really couldn't figure out if Su Zimo had any other tricks up his sleeve.
If this person still had a powerful trump card that he had yet to reveal, then if he were to act rashly, he would not only lose face, but also his life!
Su Zimo's gaze had been drifting towards Zhu Yue from time to time.
Zhu Yue completely did not know that he had just walked one round around the gates of hell!
He thought that he had hidden it well, but little did he know that Su Zimo's spiritual senses were too terrifying. He could sense his hostility clearly!
As long as he made the slightest move, he would already be a dead man!
The sky was dark, and a layer of night had already covered it.
"Let's go. Let's find a place to rest for the night."
Su Zimo patted the Golden Lion beneath him and said, "Go and find him."
"Oh,"
The Golden Lion replied weakly.
As a pure-blooded ferocious beast, it naturally knew best which places were relatively safe in the ancient battlefield.
Furthermore, it was subdued and taken in as a mount by Su Zimo. It felt utterly humiliated and wanted nothing more than to avoid all demon beasts.
Therefore, the Golden Lion carried Su Zimo and sprinted at the front.
Everyone from Southern Duel Sect followed closely behind.
Before long, everyone arrived at the bottom of a mountain peak and found a cave.
The Golden Lion stood at the entrance of the cave with widened eyes and perked up ears, sniffing furiously to check if there were any other living beings within.
"Go on in. It's empty inside."
Before it could find anything, Su Zimo patted its head once more.
Su Zimo cultivated the Mystic Classic of the Twelve Demon Kings of the Great Wilderness and his eyesight, hearing and sense of smell were much sharper than the Golden Lion's!
The Golden Lion was doubtful and entered cautiously. Indeed, it did not discover anything after circling around.
There were many twists and turns in the cave but it was connected from the front to the back with two exits.
That was good as well – if they were truly ambushed, they would have a way out.
Su Zimo said, "You guys can rest near the entrance here. I'll head to the entrance at the back of the mountain. We'll gather here at daybreak and set off."
"Alright,"
Tang Shiyun nodded.
After pondering for a moment, Tang Shiyun pulled Su Zimo to a corner and glanced at the Golden Lion not far away. She whispered, "Fellow Daoist Su, aren't you being a little careless by not signing a blood oath with this Golden Lion?"
Su Zimo smiled and did not explain.
When Tang Shiyun saw how nonchalant Su Zimo was, she reminded, "It's a pure-blooded ferocious beast after all. Although it's subservient to you for the time being, its wild nature is hard to tame. When you're resting, it's best that you don't get too close to it lest it kills you! "
"Yes, got it,"
Tang Shiyun had good intentions after all and Su Zimo could not point it out as he nodded in agreement.
Thereafter, Su Zimo and the Golden Lion left the place. After many twists and turns, they arrived at the entrance of the cave at the back.
The night gradually darkened.
Outside the cave, the roars of ferocious beasts could be heard one after another!
From time to time, the hurried cries of ferocious birds could be heard, sharp and ear-piercing.
The sound of some ants crawling on the ground was even more hair-raising.
The Golden Lion was sprawled out in its sleep, drooling.
Su Zimo rested his arms behind his head and closed his eyes motionlessly. He had been in that position for four hours, as though he had fallen asleep a long time ago.
All of a sudden!
In the darkness, the Golden Lion flipped over and opened its eyes slowly without making a sound.
Those eyes were bright and frightening – there was no hint of sleep at all!
It had not slept the entire time!
Tomorrow, they would arrive at the ancient city where cultivators gathered and it would no longer have a chance to escape.
Therefore, tonight was its only chance!
The Golden Lion looked at Su Zimo who was sleeping soundly not far away and hesitated for a moment before lamenting internally, "Forget it. I'll spare your life tonight on account of the fact that you didn't force me to sign a blood oath."
The Golden Lion rose slowly and tiptoed out of the cave.
Before it left, a voice sounded from within the cave.
"Where are you going?"
The Golden Lion shuddered and its fur stood on end. It did not dare to turn back and replied with a trembling voice, "To … to pee outside."
There was no sound behind it, as though it had agreed.
As though it had been pardoned, the Golden Lion tried its best to compose itself and walked out of the cave unhurriedly. Arriving beside a green rock, it peered into the cave while pretending to pee.
It was dark and deep inside. There was no movement and it was silent.
"Hmph, to think that you would believe me when I said that I was going to pee!"
The Golden Lion sneered and lamented internally, "At the end of the day, I'm still smarter than you. By the time you realize what happened, I'll be thousands of miles away!"
The Golden Lion turned around. Just as it was about to escape, it subconsciously raised its head and glanced over.
On an ancient tree not far away, a green-robed scholar was sitting on a branch. His eyes were clear as he swung his legs leisurely, looking at it with a fake smile.
"Oh my God, oh my God!"
The Golden Lion was so scared that it fell to the ground. In its panic, it spoke in human language and said a string of words that no one knew where it had heard from …
