< Today is the second night watch! >
Xiao Feng Wu was wholeheartedly absorbing the pure energy from the jade pendant in order to repair his damaged meridians. He knew that he was being used as bait, so it would be a lie to say that he wasn't afraid. He was also afraid that the mysterious man would come too early. Even if he disdained to kill him, he wouldn't be able to fully recover from his injuries. Then, he would have to suffer for a few more days …
Therefore, he worked very hard, wholeheartedly absorbing the pure energy that came from the jade pendant. He could clearly feel that his damaged meridians were slowly wrapped by the pure energy transmitted from the jade pendant. It was as if his whole body was soaked in warm spring water. He only felt that his whole body was warm and extremely comfortable, and his damaged meridians were also recovering at an abnormally rapid speed. He only felt that his spirit was floating, as if ascending to heaven, like an immortal, like a dream, like an intoxicated person!
Just when he was feeling the most comfortable, his hand suddenly shook, and the jade pendant disappeared in an instant!
Xiao Feng Wu was shocked. He hastily opened his eyes and saw that the jade pendant was floating in front of his chest. It paused for a moment, and then quickly flew away. What was even more bizarre was that Xiao Feng Wu didn't sense anyone's shadow or aura. It was as if the jade pendant had suddenly grown a pair of legs and had a life of its own.
How could such a thing happen? What's going on? This definitely wasn't the work of an expert who used profound Xuan Qi to guide the jade pendant. First, it wasn't necessary. Second, there wasn't any Xuan Qi fluctuation. Xiao Feng Wu could tell the difference between the two. So, what was going on in front of him?
Xiao Feng Wu's consciousness blurred. He almost thought that he was dreaming. He shook his head forcefully to clear his head. Seeing that the jade pendant was about to float out of the door, he thought of the mystical effects of the jade pendant and was very reluctant to let it go. Finally, he mustered up his courage and threw himself forward. At the same time, he screamed, "Help … the jade pendant has escaped …"
The jade pendant has escaped?
Jun Mo Xie, who was in the void, was so amused by this sentence that he almost burst out laughing and gave himself away! [Damn it! This brat is too talented!] Although this jade pendant was indeed a miraculous treasure, in the end, it was still an inanimate object. For it to be described as' escaping ', it was truly … speechless.
However, Xiao Feng Wu was in a hurry, and he couldn't clearly explain what had happened in front of him. He wanted to say that it had been stolen … but he clearly hadn't seen anyone do anything. In fact, he hadn't even seen the shadow of a ghost. Therefore, Xiao Feng Wu could only shout, "The jade pendant has escaped." However, he didn't realize how ridiculous it sounded when he said it. Even though it was a very fitting way of saying it given the current situation …
"Someone is here to snatch the Soul Replenishing Jade!" Jun Moxie grabbed the jade pendant, and it fell from Xiao Feng Wu's hand. Xiao Bu Yu's white eyebrows twitched as he stood up from the other room. He had placed a restriction on his spirit sense, and had transmitted this information to his mind. Then, a small green-feathered falcon flew out of Xiao Bu Yu's bosom, and flew towards Xiao Feng Wu's room.
It could be said that this outcome was within his expectations. But, it wasn't reasonable at the same time.
The Third Elder had described the tyrannical strength of this mysterious man. He had disregarded his status to take away a younger generation's treasure. So, he wouldn't have let go of the other half of the jade pendant. In fact, he was determined to get his hands on it.
However, this secret room had been shrouded in the spirit sense of so many experts. Even the First Great Master Yun Bie Chen wouldn't have been able to break through such a formidable defensive power. So, it was likely that a normal person wouldn't have been able to enter this room without alerting the spirit sense of the guardians. However, this mysterious man had managed to sneak in without making a sound. Such a method could be said to be a rare and extraordinary skill.
Xiao Bu Yu's thin body floated up like a white cloud in the next moment, and flew out as light as a feather.
He flew towards the secret room where Xiao Feng Wu was recuperating.
At the same time, an extremely feminine yet exceptionally sharp long whistle was issued from his mouth. The sound wasn't loud, but it was unceasing. The entire Magnificent Jewel Hall was instantly alarmed by this long whistle. The speed of a Spirit Xuan expert was extremely fast. Almost in an instant, a total of twelve peak experts had surrounded the room where Xiao Feng Wu was recuperating from his injuries. Everyone was completely focused and alert, ready to act at any time.
An expert who could sneak into a secret room and steal a treasure while being shrouded by so many spirit senses couldn't be an easy opponent. This was the consensus of everyone present.
[This man is a great enemy!]
Xiao Bu Yu's clear voice hadn't yet finished. His eyes flashed with a murderous intention as he rushed towards Xiao Feng Wu's recuperating room.
He was about seven feet away from the door when the hard and thick red sandalwood door was attacked by his Xuan Qi. In fact, it had silently turned into fragments and disappeared in the air. Xiao Bu Yu's body moved like a dragon as he entered the room with lightning speed.
This was Xiao Bu Yu's wishful thinking. Everyone would attack as soon as there was an anomaly. However, there was no need for everyone to barge into the room. After all, the situation would become chaotic, and the enemy would be able to escape.
He would only need the strongest person to rush in alone. Then, the others would form a huge encirclement around the room. They would closely monitor the situation, and block off any possible escape route. In fact, they would be met with a head-on attack as soon as that person came out … no matter which direction he went.
Everyone on his side would erupt with their full strength as soon as they saw that person. And, they would be able to block him for a little bit. In fact, they would only need to block him for half the time it takes to blink an eye. Then, they would have enough time to surround him and attack him together.
Xiao Bu Yu was confident that even the weakest person on his side would be able to block him for a while. Even the leader of the Eight Great Masters, Yun Bie Chen, would be able to block him for a while. Even Yun Bie Chen wouldn't be able to do so.
Xiao Bu Yu didn't believe that anyone in this world would be able to escape his line of sight in such a short time. Moreover, there were still five Shen Xuan's and the Seven Swords of the Silver City outside.
That mysterious person might be able to sneak in without a sound. But, it would be a joke to think that he would be able to leave in the face of such a tight blockade.
This plan was absolutely flawless. It was foolproof. There would be no mishaps.
However, Xiao Bu Yu hadn't expected it. And, there had been a mishap even if there had been no mishaps.
He rushed into Xiao Feng Wu's room as fast as he could. Shen Xuan's Xuan Qi had already been activated. In fact, it seemed as if his entire body had turned into a violent tornado.
He had already heard about the terrifying strength of this mysterious person from the rumors. Even though he was fearless, he was still wary of him. According to the description of Brother Three and Brother Six, he was afraid that if he were to be careless, he might die at the hands of this mysterious person. How could he dare to be careless?
His Xuan Qi protected his entire body as soon as he entered the room. Then, he spun around with a 'whoosh' sound. He looked like a ballerina performing a very difficult maneuver. But, he didn't find anything.
Xiao Feng Wu was the only one standing in the room with a blank expression on his face.
"Where is he?" Xiao Bu Yu shouted in his heart. [Could it be that I'm too late? That's impossible, right? The Fragrant Eagle was also pointing in this direction. How could I be wrong?]
"Who?" Xiao Feng Wu was at a loss. He didn't know what his great-grandfather was asking. So, he replied in a confused manner.
"Where's the person who snatched the Soul Replenishing Jade? Are you stupid? " Xiao Bu Yu was so angry that he almost vomited blood. [Damn it! That person had snatched the jade from my hands. And, he's asking me, [Who is it?] Fortunately, Xiao Bu Yu had cultivated himself well. Otherwise, he would've gone mad with anger.
"There's no one. Where is there?" Xiao Feng Wu looked at his hands in a daze. Then, he looked at his furious great-grandfather. He didn't know what was going on. His mind was still in a state of confusion. [How did the jade fly away? It's very strange. Did it become a spirit?]
"There's no one? Then, where's the Soul Replenishing Jade in your hands? Are you going to tell me that it grew wings and flew away? "Xiao Bu Yu was so angry that he couldn't beat it. So, he berated loudly.
"That's right. Grandfather, that was very strange. The jade didn't have wings. But, it flew away on its own. It's true …" Xiao Feng Wu's face was serious.
"Trash!" Xiao Bu Yu cursed loudly. Then, he rushed out with a whooshing sound. His face had turned black with anger. [I've seen useless people. I've seen stupid people. But, I've never seen such a waste.] [Such a waste is my own great-grandson …]
"But … I'm telling the truth … the jade pendant flew away on its own. It didn't have wings. So, it flew away very quickly …" Xiao Feng Wu was mumbling behind Xiao Bu Yu's back. He felt that he had been wronged. However, Xiao Feng Wu felt wronged. [Why doesn't anyone believe the truth these days?] [I've seen it with my own eyes. And, I've experienced it myself!]
"Screw your grandmother! Shut the f * ck up, you bastard! " A furious curse was heard in mid-air. Then, a palm wind that was so dense that it seemed to have condensed into a tangible substance flew down and hit Xiao Feng Wu's face. Xiao Feng Wu staggered and fell to the ground. His face immediately became swollen.
Xiao Feng Wu was extremely aggrieved as he covered his face. But, he was thinking in his heart, [You motherf * cker! You've found the right person! Damn it! My grandfather wouldn't even exist in this world if you hadn't …]
Xiao Bu Yu's body leapt up into the sky like a meteor. He soared to a height of thirty meters above the Magnificent Jewel Hall's pavilion. Then, he hovered in the air. His body rotated in a circle, and his eyes swept in all directions. Everything within a ten-kilometer radius could be seen under the dazzling starlight. But, he couldn't find any clues.
[That man had left just as silently as he had arrived?]
The small Fragrant Eagle circled around him. It was clear that even this little thing had lost its target.
[How is this possible?]
[Let me nag a bit. Sigh, my little brother got into an accident and was hospitalized, so I had to accompany him every night. Cough cough, my little brother is the original Fatty Tang in the book, and he has been injured recently, so he can't take care of himself. Ah … he has three urgent needs, so I have to carry him to the hospital, untie him, take off his clothes, carry him, and carry him back … Can you imagine how miserable I am right now? I've been working in the hospital for the last half of the night … Many people in the group know about this. I didn't want to talk about it because I didn't want everyone to worry. But, more and more people are coming up with suggestions. Please understand.
Also, my computer broke down a few days ago … I've said so much, but I hope you understand.] [I remember seeing a comment in the book review section some time ago. But, I can't remember which book it was.] The comment said, [Breaking chapters is like having sex. If there's a first time, there'll be a second time.] And, there will always be a variety of reasons in life to break chapters and ask for leave. So, once there's a first break, there will be more and more reasons to ask for leave. And, it will become smoother and smoother. And, the book will either be left unfinished or unfinished …]
[This sentence makes a lot of sense.] [So, no matter what the reason is, as long as my hands can still write, as long as my brain can still think, I don't want to break chapters. Because I don't want to have such a first time.] [At this point, everyone understood why I didn't tell them the reason in advance. Because I was afraid that if I told them in advance, I would have a justifiable reason to slack off …]
[If the matter of breaking chapters symbolizes my persistence, then, I hope that I can persist.] [Even if I'm only completing a minimum daily update.] [It's nothing more than tiring myself out a little.]
