“Zihou, be careful!”
“Cousin, be careful!”
“Be careful!”
The sudden movement made several people widen their eyes and shout. They wanted to go to the rescue, but with the difference in strength, and the suddenness of it all, they could not help her.
Zihou was in a daze since the appearance of the Jade Water Dragon. It was not that she did not want to move, but that her hands and feet seemed to be bound and she could not move at all. Except for watching the thunder attack that was coming from it, she could not fight back!
At this moment, she knew how small she was in this world. So what if she beat up the Black Leopard? So what if she could kill a blue aura cultivator with her bare hands? Compared to those truly powerful beings, she was too small!
Tiny and almost buried in the dust.
With the blink of an eye, this water dragon in front of her could crush Zihou’s bones.
The people on the shore were deathly pale as if they had already seen the scene of Zihou’s soul returning to the Heavens.
Was her rebirth going to end so soon?
Zihou sneered in her heart. God really played the biggest prank on her!
The pressure of the outside world was too great, and she was hanging by a thread between life and death. Her heart surged and her emotions reached a boiling point.
Slap~
Zihou suddenly heard a crisp sound, and then a hot light bloomed in front of her eyes. Endless power poured from its eyebrows…
“Ah!” The disordered aura, the hot temperature, and the surging power made Zihou look up to the sky.
At this time, Zihou’s whole body was like the Sun, radiating a dazzling glow.
As for the Jade Water Dragon, under this light, it wailed endlessly with its huge body twisting in pain. Struggling, it seemed to be extremely frightened. In the end, it finally croaked and rammed into the water pathetically without leaving any trace behind.
After a moment, the light on Zihou faded away. Exhausted as if she just used up all her strength, and pale, she sweated profusely, staggered, and knelt on the ground.
“Are you alright, Zihou?” Qi Shaoyang and Chu Lingye finally got back their senses and they rushed to Zihou and asked with concern.
Zihou shook her head and said, “I’m fine.”
She was indeed okay, but it happened so suddenly that she could not react.
The warmth in her eyebrows had not faded. She felt a force poured into her body since the outbreak just now. No traces or sources could be found, but she really felt that there was something different…
But, what was the cracking sound between her eyebrows just now? Why did such a majestic force burst out of her body, even making a peak Rank 5 Spirit Beast panic?
Was the burst of energy originally sealed within her body?
Her body seemed to be hiding a huge secret…
The rest of the night went by without any dangers.
Early the next morning, Zihou searched the lake and found the Nine-Section Purple Bamboo. Nine-Section Purple Bamboo was unusually hard, and she spent a lot of effort with a dagger before she cut it down for safekeeping, and then left the lake together with Chu Lingye and the others and walked towards the mountain.
What Zihou did not expect was that the Black Leopard that was beaten by her yesterday followed her all the way. Zihou did not care either, thinking it wanted to take revenge.
However, what surprised Zihou was that it had followed her all the way to the outskirts of the Mountains and was about to go out. It had no plans to stop.
What was this?
Zihou turned around and wanted to persuade the Black Leopard that if it did not make a move now, there would be no other chances to do so. However, before she could say anything, a majestic heatwave spread from the depths of the mountain, with a strong wind and a scorching heat.
The airwave swept through and was extremely fast, not giving people time to react. Her hair tips seemed to have a burnt smell. However, what shocked Zihou, even more, was the feeling of ice and fire in her soul.
That feeling was like her soul was put in an extremely cold place and burned with an extremely hot flame.
Her eyes crossed the heavy mountains and finally locked in the depths of the mountains behind the clouds. Her eyes were obscure.
In the depths of the West Mountains, perhaps there was something hidden…
Wei Estate Hall.
At this time, Martyr General’s estate had become a mess.
“That stupid girl went out without a word, she needs to be punished!” Wei Guoting slammed his fist down on the table, his loud voice burning with anger.
However, his trembling hand and rapid breathing betrayed his true feelings.
“Father, Hou-er is a conscientious girl. She must have something important, so don’t be mad.” Wei Shirong sternly comforted. The old man’s recent temper was difficult to control and understand.
“Yes, father, Zihou must have gone out for Ziyu’s legs, so don’t be angry. Besides, Hou-er is blessed and will be safe and sound. You don’t have to worry.” Zhao Xinrou was an empathetic person and naturally could see the old man’s real thoughts. This way, what she said really made the old man’s anger drop a lot, and he gradually calmed down.
“That girl, I’m too lazy to worry about her!” Wei Guoting’s stubborn mouth refused to bulge, but inside, he was praying for the girl to be safe and sound.
“Master, there’s something wrong.” Suddenly, an excited voice outside the hall could be heard. Before the voice fell, a man ran in as fast as a trail of smoke and immediately knelt on the ground.
“What’s wrong, did Zihou have an accident?” Wei Guoting stood up immediately, grabbing the shoulder of the servant with a serious and grave expression, the strength of his hand almost crushing the shoulder of the servant.
“No, it’s not…” He was frightened, and his face was pale. Coupled with such a cruel grip, his face distorted in pain.
“No? What the hell is it? Make it clear.” The old man was even angrier and could not help but want to throw him out.
“Father, you are holding him too hard, he can’t say clearly.” Wei Shirong reminded helplessly.
Sure enough, as soon as Wei Guoting let go, the man seemed relieved and took a deep breath before saying, “The young lady is back.”
“Are you kidding me?” The old man was stunned for a moment, then snorted. What did the man say? The girl was back, how was that bad?
Not to mention the old man, Wei Shirong, and his wife also despised the man deeply. He really did not know how to talk. Their daughter was back, he actually called it a bad thing?
They no longer paid attention to the servant and left…
As the man who was deeply despised watched them leave, and he wanted to cry. He actually wanted to say: Oh no, the young lady brought a monster back.
Was that wrong?
Zihou did come back. She originally wanted to tell Wei Guoting and the others in person, but she was surprised to find that the strong surging energy in her body was still there and she seemed to be looking for a breakthrough.
This feeling made Zihou react immediately—she was probably going to advance. So, without thinking much, she returned to Mu Xuan Court, preparing to meditate and advance.
Wei Guoting and his entourage rushed towards Mu Xuan Court. While walking quickly, Wei Guoting said, “Damned girl, you didn’t say anything when you come back. See how I will punish you!”
Kicking the door of Mu Xuan Court open, Wei Guoting raised his voice and was ready to scold. But the words lodged themselves on his throat when he saw the figure under the Japanese Pagoda Tree. He swallowed hard and almost choked himself to death…
