However, it was one thing to be afraid, and another to shrink back from it.
Cao Zigu propped himself up and pushed away Zi 'er and Luo Fangshuo who were supporting him. He held his Dragonscale Sword by his side and stared coldly at Tang Buluo who looked like a deity descending to the mortal world.
Seeing this, Huang Chengyan also took out his Golden Light Sword. The three sisters of Soundwave Manor had long been scared pale. To the three of them, Tang Buluo's existence was like that ball of Golden Crow True Flame, so dazzling that they could not look at it directly. They could not even see the style of Tang Buluo's clothes clearly, because no matter what kind of clothes the Queen wore, it would only become a vassal.
Today, Tang Buluo was wearing a simple buttoned skirt, charming but not ordinary, like an approachable daughter of a humble family. There was not a single luxurious ornament on her body. But at this moment, she was simply standing there, her expression changing slightly, and she was incomparably noble.
Seeing that a conflict was about to break out, Lianhai Changjin hurriedly stopped Tang Buluo, cupping his fists towards Cao Zigu and saying with a bitter smile, "Sorry, sorry, it was I who sent people to find the traces of you young heroes, it has nothing to do with Miss Tang. Please put away your sword, we can sit down and talk."
Cao Zigu said coldly, "Why are you following us? Is there something you can't tell us?"
Lianhai Changjin said, "It's all a misunderstanding, I originally wanted to find out where you are, then personally invite you. I am Lianhai Changjin, the steward of Lianhai Manor in Wind Cave, and also a teacher of Jixia Academy. "
Hearing that he was a member of Lianhai Manor and a teacher of Jixia Academy, Cao Zigu's face gradually warmed up.
Lianhai Changjin continued, "This is the Golden Crow Queen Tang Buluo, you should have already recognized her; the other is Sanskrit Buddha, a layman recently recruited by Bodhi Temple. We are all old friends of Yan Li. "
"Old friends?" Hearing this, Cao Zigu hurriedly put away his sword, saying embarrassedly, "So you are friends of junior apprentice-brother Yan, my temper, please excuse me …"
Huang Chengyan asked suspiciously, "Why have I never heard junior apprentice-brother Yan mention it before?"
Tang Buluo withdrew the Golden Crow True Flames and laughed tenderly, "Yan Li, this little thief, has a cold and unfeeling personality. How could he keep mentioning old friends?"
Huang Chengyan frowned and kept the Golden Light Sword. "She's cold by nature and doesn't rely on others' reputation and status. From the looks of it, it might not be any better. We have important matters to attend to. Excuse us.
Goodbye. "
"Aiya, you are a very vigilant person." Tang Buluo caressed his beautiful hair in a lazy manner. In the darkness, a shadow appeared and opened up a new canopy. There were also brand new tables and chairs that were set up. Tang Buluo sat down. "Although this thief is not a good person, he has pride in his bones. Naturally, he won't tell anyone that I'm his friend. But what are you suspecting? Don't tell me that I, Tang Buluo, am asking him to be my friend? "
"Junior apprentice-brother?" Cao Zigu also wanted to discuss with Yan Li's old friend. So he looked at Huang Chengyan in confusion.
Huang Chengyan said, "Since junior apprentice-brother Yan is cold and unfeeling, he must not be good to his old friends. If you guys are here to see a joke, why drag us into it?"
When Tang Buluo heard this, he couldn't help but laugh tenderly. "I thought you were the smartest one among you. It turns out that you are the stupidest one. But, what kind of magic potion did this little thief give you that you don't allow others to say anything bad about him? Winning people's hearts is not his strong point. "
Huang Chengyan's expression did not change. He said lightly, "Your Queen is too noble. If you are so extravagant, you would have long been exposed. Don't implicate us."
"What are you saying?" Tang Buluo raised his eyebrows. "I deliberately let them choose inferior materials. This is also considered extravagant?"
Only now did Cao Zigu discover that the wood used to build the hut was actually high grade Yellow Rosewood. The floor was covered with waterproof silk cloth. The tables and chairs were made of precious Red Sandalwood. How could these be considered inferior materials? He sighed inwardly at the Golden Crow Queen's extravagance. His expression did not change. He only said, "Just now I heard Brother Lianhai say that you want to invite us. What is it for?"
Lianhai Changjin said, "A few days ago in a restaurant, we accidentally heard it. It is exactly what we want. We are willing to help."
Cao Zigu was shocked. "You are saying that you are also here to save junior apprentice-brother Yan?"
"Exactly." Lianhai Changjin said.
Huang Chengyan had wanted to question him. But seeing that the Golden Crow Queen was already a living signboard. If it was an unknown person, it would naturally be easy for people to guess his motives. But to Tang Buluo, a mere disciple of the Hidden Sword Peak, there was really no need for him to personally plot against him. This was a very heavy weight.
"Does Brother Lianhai have an idea?" Cao Zigu said in surprise.
"I have the diagram of the Five Elements Grand Formation." Lianhai Changjin smiled.
"Who did it?" Huang Chengyan asked.
"I was originally unwilling to reveal it. But time is short. In order to gain your trust, I can only tell you the truth. The one who gave me the diagram was Grandmaster Gu Haiyuan. "Lianhai Changjin said.
Huang Chengyan was shocked as well. "It's actually him! I had long heard that junior apprentice-brother Yan had a personal relationship with him. Who would have thought that he would actually be willing to hand over the diagram for junior apprentice-brother. "
As one of the grandmasters who had participated in the design, if it was known by others, his reputation would definitely be ruined.
"I hope that you will all keep your mouths shut." Lianhai Changjin said solemnly.
Downwind, a heart-wrenching cry suddenly resounded.
"What, what is that?"
Those loose cultivators, who were about to disperse, suddenly gathered in one place and began to make a racket.
Just about to move, they were exceptionally cautious. Exchanging glances, they all swarmed out to take a look. The spot they had chosen to stand on was rather high, allowing them to see further. At this time, the torrential rain had lessened slightly. Through the curtain of rain, they could see a dense mass of troops surging over. Visibility was too poor, they were completely unable to see how many people there were.
"The people of Swallow Dock have finally arrived." Lianhai Changjin's expression was solemn as he extended his divine sense with all his might. Indeed, he sensed a terrifying qi domain approaching. He seemed to already hear a bewitching light laugh resounding by his ear.
Tang Buluo sat unmoving, but his expression changed. "Hmph, it's him."
"Brother Lianhai is saying that these people are junior apprentice-brother Yan's subordinates?" Cao Zigu was dumbfounded.
Lianhai Changjin said, "I have received news that other than Swallow Dock, the Wei Palace's Little Overlord is also rushing over with his dragonrider army. We must speed up and break through the Five Elements Grand Formation before they attack. Otherwise, these troops will all perish before they even reach that Lightning God Stage! "
"Then let's not waste time. We will listen to you on what to do!" Cao Zigu immediately became anxious.
"This will require the abilities of the three ladies," Lianhai Changjin cast her gaze on the three sisters of Hearing Surf Manor.
The eldest sister, Zi 'er, thought for a moment, before saying in realisation, "We three sisters are skilled in calculation, geomancy and divination. This is precisely the key to breaking through the formation."
"Precisely so. Please follow me."
