A gorgeous courtyard, pavilions, and the Winding Goblets. The sound of flowing water reverberated from the artificial mountains.
Moonlight shone down from the night sky and illuminated the entire courtyard. It reflected the flowing water in the courtyard and sparkled like stars in the sky.
Two silhouettes gently landed on the ground without making a sound. Master Ah Wu followed behind Wu Yunbai with a solemn expression. This courtyard was the courtyard where the serpent-men were being held captive, which was also where Zhao Musheng was staying.
"Miss... be careful. Since Zhao Musheng insisted on bringing Owner Bu here, he must have set up a trap or ambush here," Master Ah Wu cautiously said.
Wu Yunbai nodded. She had thought of this as well. Zhao Musheng would not be unprepared in order to deal with Owner Bu.
The courtyard was eerie and quiet. Only the sound of flowing water could be heard, bringing with it a chilling atmosphere.
"Let's go... let's find the place where the serpent-men are imprisoned," Wu Yunbai said.
The two of them stealthily moved forward.
Inside a room in the courtyard, Zhao Musheng stood with his hands behind his back. On the table beside him, a steaming teacup was placed. The aroma of tea permeated the room.
Suddenly, the corner of his mouth curled up. He raised the teacup, drank it in one gulp, narrowed his eyes, and slowly left the room.
As he walked out of the room, the slight chill in the air made him exhale a breath of hot air. Surging spiritual will surged out. With one step, he leaped into the air.
Within the courtyard, the roar of a beast was suddenly heard. The roar was deafening, threatening to overturn the entire courtyard.
Maniacal laughter resounded in the courtyard.
Boom boom!
The collision of true energy caused a violent shockwave. The courtyard suddenly turned into a terrifying battlefield.
Zhao Musheng curled up the corner of his mouth. "Finally, they took the bait."
Stepping into the air, he came to the top of the courtyard. Below him, a chaotic battle had broken out. Several figures were surrounding two figures.
"Hmm? It's not Bu Fang? "Zhao Musheng was slightly stunned. He realized that the one surrounded by a group of experts was not Bu Fang.
"Haha! "Zhao Musheng, are these two guys our targets this time?" he thought. Can we really get the Five Stripes Path-Understanding Tree by capturing them? " A tyrannical voice rang out. On top of a ferocious black panther sat a muscular, bare-chested man. The burly man laughed loudly at Zhao Musheng, who was floating in the air.
Surrounding the burly man were three other experts who were also controlling spirit beasts. These people surrounded Wu Yunbai and Master Ah Wu.
Master Ah Wu grabbed a serpent-man with one hand, his face pale and solemn.
Sure enough, Zhao Musheng had set up an ambush, but he did not expect it to be this terrifying …
Four seventh grade Battle-Saints and two sixth grade spirit beasts. This lineup was truly invincible within the Imperial City. He did not expect Zhao Musheng to think so highly of Owner Bu that he would set up so many experts to ambush a mere fifth grade Battle-King.
Wu Yunbai's body was surging with true energy as she stood solemnly in the middle of the encirclement.
"Someone from the Three Godly Temples of the Wildlands? A mighty expert from the Three Godly Temples of the Wildlands actually colluded with a mere Mahayana Island … You guys are really shameless! "Wu Yunbai said coldly.
Wu Yunbai was no stranger to the Three Godly Temples of the Wildlands, because it was also a major force comparable to the White Cloud Villa. However, the two were located in different locations. The White Cloud Villa was located in the Illusory Spirit Swamp, while the Three Godly Temples of the Wildlands were located in the heart of the Wildlands.
However, only the Three Godly Temples of the Wildlands could mobilize so many Battle-Saints. A mere Buddhist Sect of the Mahayana Island would not be able to mobilize so many Battle-Saints.
"Yo, a Xiao Bai like you knows about the Godly Temples of the Wildlands? Looks like you have quite a background! "The burly man sitting on top of the panther sneered at Wu Yunbai.
Zhao Musheng landed on top of a rockery, frowning at Wu Yunbai and Master Ah Wu. "Why are you the rescuers? Where's Bu Fang? "
Wu Yunbai only glanced at Zhao Musheng without saying a word.
"Forget it … Since you guys are risking your lives for Bu Fang, I'm afraid your relationship with Bu Fang is not simple. Capturing you guys to negotiate with Bu Fang is the same." Zhao Musheng said calmly, then looked at the Battle-Saints below.
"Capturing them will give you the opportunity to exchange for the Five Stripes Path-Understanding Tree. Everyone … for the Five Stripes Path-Understanding Tree, what are you waiting for?"
"Hehe, Zhao Musheng, I hope you guys are not lying to me, or else you will regret it!" The burly man glanced at Zhao Musheng, sneered, and then whistled. Suddenly, the panther he was riding burst forth.
...
Rumble!
Within the Imperial City, the sound of explosions reverberated incessantly. Terrifying gusts of wind howled, threatening to engulf everything.
A figure dashed out, carrying a serpent-man in each hand. He landed outside the courtyard. Ah Ni, who was waiting outside the courtyard, suddenly paled.
"Go! Let's go first! Miss is covering our retreat, let's go! "Master Ah Wu said coldly, his face as gloomy as water.
Ah Ni's heart skipped a beat. Without a word, he summoned his true energy and followed Master Ah Wu.
The sound of explosions continued to reverberate in the courtyard, accompanied by sharp sword beams. The shockwaves of the battle had long been transmitted to the entire Imperial City.
Many Battle-Saints quietly released their consciousness, paying attention to the earth-shattering battle in the courtyard.
A figure dressed in a fiery red robe swayed in the air. He rubbed his slender fingers, calmly observing the battle in the courtyard.
"Mu Sheng, that idiot … Stirring up such a commotion at this time, isn't he just foolishly sticking his head out? The terrifying aura of a suspected eighth grade spirit beast has just dissipated, and you're already stirring up trouble with such great fanfare … "Mu Lingfeng curled his lips and said disdainfully.
The store with the Path-Understanding Tree was suspected to be guarded by an eighth grade spirit beast … This was not good news for him. An eighth grade spirit beast was very strong, and with such a spirit beast around, he would have to pay a hefty price to obtain the Five Stripes Path-Understanding Tree.
"Looks like I'll have to ask the elder for help … I must obtain the Five Stripes Path-Understanding Tree." Mu Lingfeng's eyes narrowed. With a flick of his fingers, a fiery red bird appeared in his hand. After muttering a few words, the bird chirped, flapped its wings, and flew away.
"When the elder reaches the Imperial City, the Five Stripes Path-Understanding Tree should be ripe and bearing fruit … When that time comes, it's time to make our move."
Mu Lingfeng took a deep breath, took one last look at the battle below, and silently cursed at the idiot before drifting away.
...
Wu Yunbai's mouth was dripping with blood. Her chest was heaving, and the arm holding the Cloud Rising Sword was trembling.
Although she had the Cloud Rising Sword, it was still very taxing for her to fight against so many experts alone. Fortunately, she still had the jade talisman from the White Cloud Villa. Using it, she was able to escape. Otherwise, she might have really died there.
After all, the experts from the Three Godly Temples of the Wildlands were no pushovers.
Clutching the Semi-Divine Weapon Cloud Rising Sword, Wu Yunbai pressed on her wound and sped away. Suddenly, her face froze as she looked into the distance.
Over there, a ragged and miserable bald man was dragging his heavily injured body towards her.
"Why would a beggar be wandering around the Imperial City in the middle of the night?" Wu Yunbai swallowed the blood in her mouth and cast a doubtful glance at the miserable bald man. Suddenly, her eyes narrowed as she recognized the man!
"It's you?!" Wu Yunbai naturally recognized the bald Shang De. Her eyes were filled with murderous intent. Wasn't this bald man the guy who had been the messenger for Zhao Musheng?
The bald Shang De was currently in a state of confusion. For the sake of eating dog meat, he was almost slapped to death by a dog. He was so unlucky that just as he struggled his way to Zhao Musheng's residence, he ran into a sword-wielding Xiao Bai who was glaring at him with a murderous expression. What had he done to deserve this!
"Damned bald donkey! Go to hell! "
Wu Yunbai bellowed. The Cloud Rising Sword wrapped in a fierce sword light slashed at the bald Shang De.
With a splat, blood splattered everywhere...
The bald Shang De was sent flying with a look of despair as blood splattered everywhere.
Wu Yunbai pressed on her wound. Sensing the sound of something piercing through the air behind her, she glanced at the bald donkey on the ground and snorted. Then, she sped away and disappeared into the night.
The wind was howling, and it was miserable...
With tears in his eyes, the bald Shang De gazed at the two bright moons in the night sky. He swore that he would never eat dog meat again.
...
Early in the morning, the first ray of sunlight shone through the window onto Bu Fang's face, causing the sleeping Bu Fang to wrinkle his nose and open his eyes.
It was another beautiful day.
Bu Fang got out of bed, washed up, and went to the kitchen to begin his daily knife and carving training. After completing his training, Bu Fang cooked a portion of Sweet 'n' Sour Ribs, carried it out of the store, and placed it in front of Blacky.
"Blacky, it's time to eat..." Bu Fang called out softly. However, he was a little surprised, because Blacky, who was usually excited at the sight of Sweet 'n' Sour Ribs, just lazily glanced at it this morning and walked over with a face full of smugness.
It seemed that this fat dog was still depressed about last night's incident. Bu Fang was a little curious. What on earth did that guy do last night to make Blacky so unhappy until now?
But since Blacky did not say, he naturally could not figure it out. Walking back into the store, a faint fragrance wafted through the air.
Bu Fang gazed at the Five Stripes Path-Understanding Tree in the corner, his face revealing a look of surprise. There were actually three round and adorable little green fruits emerging from the Path-Understanding Tree. The fragrance was emanating from these fruits.
The Five Stripes Path-Understanding Tree was actually starting to bear fruit?
