"I don't know him. How could I know this thief?" Shen Gongbao said firmly.
"Then why didn't he come earlier or later? Why did he come when you were playing chess with Hou Yi? And why didn't you come earlier or later? Why did you come when a thief came to steal the Holy Laurel Fruit? "The woman asked coldly.
At this time, Hou Yi also stared at Shen Gongbao with an arrow on his Sun-Shooting Bow.
"Chang 'e, don't misunderstand. This must be a coincidence, or this thief deliberately followed me here."
Shen Gongbao saw Hou Yi's unfriendly expression and the Sun-Shooting Bow's amazing power, so he became nervous and hurriedly explained.
"Thief, do you know Shen Gongbao?" Chang 'e asked Xiao Lingyu, who had been frozen in ice.
Xiao Lingyu heard Chang 'e's words. He looked at Shen Gongbao and saw that Shen Gongbao's face was open and honest, without a trace of guilt. He said, "Of course, I know him. He is my accomplice, haha!"
Under Chang 'e's control, Xiao Lingyu's voice came out clearly from the ice.
Hearing Xiao Lingyu's words, Shen Gongbao felt relieved, but his expression was still very nervous. He said, "Thief, don't slander me!"
"He admitted it so quickly. He must be lying!" Hou Yi said matter-of-factly.
Chang 'e also nodded, but she was still very suspicious. She asked Shen Gongbao, "How do you think we should deal with this thief?"
This was the effect Xiao Lingyu wanted. Although Shen Gongbao had betrayed him at this juncture, even if it was proven that Shen Gongbao was his accomplice, it would at most put Shen Gongbao in danger. It was better to let Shen Gongbao be safe first. Maybe Shen Gongbao would find a way to help him.
At this critical moment, he must be calm and not let his emotions affect his decisions.
Shen Gongbao pretended to touch his chin and said, "This thief trespassed on Moon Mountain and stole the Holy Laurel Fruit. Naturally, he is at your disposal. In my opinion, it is better to kill him directly."
"Well, let's kill him directly!"
Hou Yi immediately pulled the Sun Shooting Bow into a full circle and aimed the arrow at Xiao Lingyu.
At first, Chang 'e did not stop him. Seeing that Shen Gongbao was still calm, she patted Hou Yi's arm and said, "This bastard's strength is extraordinary. After your Shooting Sun Arrow broke the ice, it may not be able to kill him. Instead, it helped him break the ice."
Hou Yi felt that it was reasonable. He removed the arrow from the Shooting Sun Bow and asked, "Then what should we do?"
Chang 'e pondered for a moment and said to Xiao Lingyu, "Hand over the four Holy Laurel Fruits and I'll release you from the mountain. How about it?"
Xiao Lingyu replied without hesitation, "If I hand over the Holy Laurel Fruit and you don't let me go, wouldn't I be in even more danger?"
Chang 'e frowned and asked, "Then what do you think we should do?"
Xiao Lingyu thought for a moment and said, "I'll return two Holy Laurel Fruits first. After you release the ice, I'll return the other two after I go down the mountain."
Chang 'e hesitated, but Hou Yi said, "What's the point of negotiating with this bastard? Release the ice now and I'll shoot another arrow. He'll definitely die!"
Chang 'e angrily glared at Hou Yi, "Don't think of him as a simple person. Since he dared to steal the Sacred Laurel Fruit, how could he not have the ability to protect himself? How could he not have thought of a way out? I dare say that as soon as I release the ice, he'll immediately disappear in front of us. Don't forget, we didn't notice him when he went up the mountain. "
"I did, but you didn't believe me. You even told me to focus on playing chess." Hou Yi complained.
"But later you didn't notice anything strange. Moreover, I didn't find any trace of this person when I came up the mountain. It's clear that this person has a very good hiding method." Chang 'e added.
Seeing Chang 'e and Hou Yi's hesitation, Shen Gongbao interjected, "In my humble opinion, we can agree to this person's condition."
Then he transmitted his voice to Chang 'e, "Wait until he goes down the mountain and returns the remaining two Holy Laurel Fruits. With your methods, do you think you'll let him escape? Even if he escapes, your Moon Mountain won't suffer any losses. "
Chang 'e replied, "What if he doesn't return the two Holy Laurel Fruits after the ice is released and immediately hides and escapes? What can we do?"
Shen Gongbao said, "That's easy. Before you release the ice, plant a restriction on his body. No matter how he hides, he won't be able to escape from your telepathy."
Chang 'e and Hou Yi discussed for a while. Since there was no other good plan, they agreed to Xiao Lingyu's suggestion. Following Shen Gongbao's suggestion, they planted a very clever restriction on Xiao Lingyu's body.
At least for a short period of time, this restriction couldn't be removed by ordinary experts.
Xiao Lingyu also knew that there was a restriction on his body, but he still handed over the two Holy Laurel Fruits first.
Chang 'e then released Xiao Lingyu from the ice and let him go down the mountain.
It would have been safer to hide in the Chaotic Spectrum, but he would be trapped there. Anyway, there was no ice and he could go in at any time. There was no need to rush.
Although Hou Yi's Sun Shooting Bow was very powerful, it still needed some time to prepare the arrow. This time was enough for Xiao Lingyu to hide.
When he went down the mountain, Xiao Lingyu had been thinking about a problem. Should he return the remaining two Holy Laurel Fruits?
If he returned them, not only would he not be safe, but he would also have wasted his time.
If he didn't return them, how could he escape with Hou Yi and Chang 'e following him?
Shen Gongbao still acted as if he had nothing to do with Xiao Lingyu. Although he was following him, he didn't say anything.
The reason why Shen Gongbao did this was that he was sure that Xiao Lingyu had a very powerful magic treasure that could hide his tracks. He could definitely escape easily.
Xiao Lingyu could hide, but the key was that he couldn't escape.
"Right, if I suddenly disappeared, how would they know whether I escaped or not?"
Thinking of this, Xiao Lingyu immediately hid in the Chaotic Spectrum when he reached the foot of the mountain.
Xiao Lingyu's sudden disappearance surprised Hou Yi and Chang 'e.
"How could he disappear into thin air?" Chang 'e said in surprise.
"Quickly feel the restriction," Hou Yi reminded.
"I can't feel it," Chang 'e replied.
"Is there a problem with the restriction?" Shen Gongbao asked.
"Although it was planted through the ice, there shouldn't be a problem," Chang 'e said with uncertainty.
"We actually let that thief escape!"
Hou Yi was very angry. He pointed at Shen Gongbao and said, "It's all your fault. You actually persuaded us to agree to that thief's conditions and said that it would be fine to plant a restriction!"
Shen Gongbao said with a wronged face, "How would I know that thief has such a brilliant escape technique?"
Chang 'e said calmly, "He might not have escaped. He might still be hiding nearby!"
Then, Chang 'e said to Shen Gongbao, "Hou Yi and I will look around. Please stay here and help us search."
Shen Gongbao nodded at once and patted his chest, saying, "As long as that thief appears, I will make him stay even if I have to risk my life!"
Then, Chang 'e and Hou Yi split up to search.
Shen Gongbao pretended to search around with his divine thoughts and did not do anything unusual.
Xiao Lingyu waited in the Chaotic Spectrum while counting the time. After an hour, he suddenly came out of the Chaotic Spectrum and said to Shen Gongbao, "Let's go!"
Shen Gongbao was very clever. He immediately wrapped Xiao Lingyu with his divine power and ran at full speed with his back to the Moon Mountain.
"Shen Gongbao, you really are with that thief!"
Shen Gongbao had just picked up his speed when he heard Chang 'e's angry rebuke.
"Shen Gongbao, take this arrow of your Grandpa Hou Yi!"
Hou Yi roared as he loosened his finger. A rainbow-like arrow whizzed through the air.
Shen Gongbao knew the power of the Sun Shooting Bow. Without thinking, he threw a jade talisman behind him.
Xiao Lingyu had already taken out his tubular divine tool and was ready to use the greater teleportation.
The jade talisman Shen Gongbao threw out turned into a golden shield in an instant, blocking the rainbow-like arrow.
Boom!
After the dazzling golden light, the golden shield suddenly exploded, but it also exhausted the power of the rainbow-like arrow.
After the explosion, the greater teleportation of the tubular divine tool had been launched. Xiao Lingyu and Shen Gongbao disappeared at the foot of the Moon Mountain.
The greater teleportation distance was very far. Under Xiao Lingyu's intentional control, the destination of the greater teleportation was the place where he and Shen Gongbao first met.
Hou Yi and Chang 'e would not be able to catch up with them in a short time.
"What a pity, what a pity. I lost another Immortal Talisman." Shen Gongbao looked like he was in pain.
"It's good enough that you weren't shot by the Sun Shooting Bow," Xiao Lingyu said indifferently.
"Brother Xiao, you were hiding. Why didn't you run away? Why did you show yourself and implicate me?" Shen Gongbao asked unhappily.
Xiao Lingyu did not want to expose himself. The fewer people who knew that he could only hide and not run, the better. He just sneered and said, "Daoist Shen, you still have the nerve to criticize me. I was the one who took the risk to steal the sacred laurel fruit. Do you think you can get the sacred laurel fruit by running to the Moon Mountain just by talking? And you want me to bear the crime of stealing the sacred fruit alone? "
Shen Gongbao did not complain anymore. He resumed his flattering smile and said, "There are two sacred laurel fruits. Give me one."
Xiao Lingyu did not say anything more on this issue. He took out a sacred laurel fruit and handed it to Shen Gongbao.
Although Shen Gongbao was not a good person, he was a genuine Immortal Talisman and liked to scheme against others. Xiao Lingyu would rather offend a brave person like Hou Yi than a cunning person like Shen Gongbao. Anyway, one sacred laurel fruit was enough for him.
"Now that I have the sacred laurel fruit, I have something else to do. I won't keep you company."
Shen Gongbao had made up his mind that after the trip to the Moon Mountain, he would immediately part ways with Xiao Lingyu.
"Daoist Shen, take care."
Xiao Lingyu did not want to associate with a cultivator like Shen Gongbao. Naturally, he would not ask him to stay.
