"Come out, don't make me say it a second time," Mu Rong Zeyu roared angrily with a dark tone.
Instantly, the surroundings fell into a silence where only the sound of their own heartbeats could be heard.
Su Li felt something was wrong behind him and widened his eyes, swiftly turning around. A pair of amber eyes greeted them with a smiling expression.
A hint of fierceness flashed in Su Li's eyes.
Yue Tongzi felt his scalp tingle.
"Roar!" A massive blood jade wolf spider leaped into the air, toppling the surrounding trees.
Its sharp claws reached out towards Su Li and Yue Tongzi.
"Let's go!" Su Li pulled Yue Tongzi and swiftly evaded, taking advantage of their small size to maneuver through the gaps left by the blood jade wolf spider.
Su Li couldn't afford to be distracted. The blood jade wolf spider was venomous all over, and they had to be extremely careful. With Yue Tongzi in tow, they ran desperately. They didn't have full confidence in dealing with a beast in the divine beast stage, so their only option was to escape.
Coincidentally, the direction they fled happened to be towards Mu Rong Zeyu and his group.
"Damn it!" Mu Rong Zeyu cursed as he looked at the enormous blood jade wolf spider. He was furious.
"My lord, we need to run."
Yi Yun nudged his stunned comrades.
"Run!" The blood jade wolf spider was getting closer, and Mu Rong Zeyu couldn't care about anything else, not even Su Li and Yue Tongzi who were under the spider's jaws.
In the hundreds of meters above the ground, two figures—one large and one small—were swiftly maneuvering through the blood jade wolf spider's claws. In the blink of an eye, they soared higher than the spider. When Mu Rong Zeyu turned around to look at Su Li and Yue Tongzi, they were already hovering above the blood jade wolf spider, and at that moment, the spider, unable to find Su Li and Yue Tongzi, shifted its focus to Mu Rong Zeyu and his group.
Su Li and Yue Tongzi looked down from above, witnessing the blood jade wolf spider's incredible speed and devastating destruction. Mu Rong Zeyu's slower comrades vanished instantly under the spider's claws. Su Li, who was usually calm, took a deep breath.
"Young Master, should we save them?" Yue Tongzi couldn't bear to watch the scene, considering it involved human lives.
"And how confident are you that you can save them? The blood jade wolf spider is covered in venom. Once you touch it, you'll die immediately."
Su Li's cold voice made it clear that he wouldn't risk his own life to save unrelated people.
Su Li calmly surveyed the scene below.
Yue Tongzi fell silent, realizing that if it weren't for Su Li's quick reaction, they might have ended up beneath the blood jade wolf spider's claws.
Su Li remained composed on the surface, but his inner thoughts weren't as calm. He narrowed his eyes, observing the fast-moving spider. He needed to come up with a plan quickly.
The whistling winds caused by the blood jade wolf spider's rapid movements made Mu Rong Zeyu's face pale. His trembling body was running, and he couldn't afford to become food for the beast.
Got it! Su Li had a sudden idea. He quickly summoned Xiao Li, commanding him to grow larger. Su Li mounted Yue Tongzi on Xiao Li's back.
"Young Master, be careful!" Yue Tongzi felt a twinge of worry. His cultivation level was lower than Su Li's, and going down there would only hinder Su Li's retreat. It was best for him to stay put.
"Wow! Xiao Li, you're risking your life." Xiao Li saw Su Li steadily approaching the blood jade wolf spider using the Phantom Shadow God Technique step by step. He was extremely anxious, sweating profusely and feeling a chilling fear. Where did this disgusting spider come from? It was revolting.
But Su Li had no time to pay attention to them. His shadow flickered, cautiously closing in on the blood jade wolf spider. In his hands, two swords had mysteriously appeared, tightly gripped. Su Li transformed once again, reaching the eyes of the blood jade wolf spider at the fastest speed. With his small stature, he held a significant advantage. When his figure came into the spider's sight, he saw that both swords had already pierced into its eyes. At that moment when venom gushed out from the spider's eyes, Su Li transformed once more, disappearing above the spider's head.
At this moment, Yue Tongzi was nervously half-crouched on Xiao Li's back.
"Xiao Li!" Xiao Li couldn't see Su Li's figure and shouted anxiously.
Meanwhile, the blood jade wolf spider, in pain and unable to see, staggered to one side. The impact caused the surrounding trees to collapse, filling the air with floating leaves that obscured a large amount of light.
Mu Rong Zeyu and his group seized this opportunity to catch their breath.
The group was still in a state of shock, witnessing Su Li's calm and composed demeanor. Most of them were seeing this awe-inspiring beast-slaying mode for the first time, and their faces turned pale. They trembled, some even vomiting, while others wet themselves out of fear. The faint-hearted ones simply fainted. In the end, out of Mu Rong Zeyu's group of over a dozen people, only four or five remained.
"Yu Wang, we'll take our leave first," Su Li looked at Mu Rong Zeyu and the others with different expressions, coldly stating.
By the time Mu Rong Zeyu reacted, Su Li and the others had already left.
"My lord, are you alright?" Yi Yun stepped forward and asked.
"I'm fine," Mu Rong Zeyu looked in the direction Su Li had left, surprised by his determination. Su Zimo, you can be considered as having gathered countless favor and fortune. Your life is truly fortunate! Mu Rong Zeyu couldn't help but feel envious of Su Zimo for having such a powerful son.
"Let's go back," Mu Rong Zeyu looked at the remaining few people. His heart sank instantly. The losses this time were severe. Perhaps he shouldn't have personally come to search for the Eight Profound Artifacts. Instead, he should have waited for their appearance and then acted. That way, he could have minimized the losses.
"Your Highness, Yu Wang took a large group of people and headed to the Bugui Mountain."
In the Thinking Room, Zhu Yan informed Mu Rong Shaofeng of the information he had been tracking.
Mu Rong Shaofeng leisurely took a sip of tea before speaking lightly, "He believed Momo's words and naturally went to Bugui Mountain to search for the Eight Profound Artifacts."
"The Eight Profound Artifacts," Zhu Yan looked up and glanced at the unremarkable Mu Rong Shaofeng.
"Yu Wang's idea of using the Eight Profound Artifacts to deal with me is a pipe dream. It's not so easy to gather all eight artifacts."
"That's right. The Eight Profound Artifacts possess great sentience and choose their own masters. Even if Yu Wang finds them, if the artifacts don't recognize him as their master, he would still be futile in his efforts, and he might even lose his life," Mu Rong Shaofeng put down his teacup and lightly tapped the tea water with the lid, producing a crisp sound. "Everything is still within our control. Let him stir up trouble. In the end, Yu Wang will realize that he has been busy for nothing."
"Your Highness, what about Miss Chu? The Chu family is already under Yu Wang's control. It might not be favorable for you if she suddenly appears by your side," Zhu Yan showed a trace of worry in his eyes. After all, it's hard to guard against the schemes of a cunning person, especially a woman.
"Leave her be. She won't stay here for long. She won't be able to gather any information and might even attract Yu Wang to the Mingyue Villa. Aren't Xingchen and Yunfan also at the Mingyue Villa these days? With the two of them there, Yu Wang won't be able to do anything," Mu Rong Shaofeng's eyes flashed with a calculating look.
"By the way, has Momo gone out again?" Mu Rong Shaofeng looked up at Zhu Yan.
"Yes! She went out with Qinglian," Zhu Yan replied.
"We'll be returning to Xingyue Country in eleven days. We can see Xiner then and leave afterwards. But before we leave, we must ensure that everything is settled in Haoyue Country," Zhu Yan's eyes flickered. The fact that Mu Rong Shaofeng still worried about Su Zimo touched him.
"Rest assured, Zhu Yan. I will take care of everything and ensure that the Lord has no worries," Mu Rong Shaofeng said.
"Go then! You have always understood my thoughts the best," Mu Rong Shaofeng looked at Zhu Yan, feeling a bitter discomfort in his heart. After all, every feast comes to an end, and he was soon going to leave his beloved person. But even if he leaves, he wants his love to accompany her...
In the Bu Residence, Su Zimo was measuring Mu Yunxuan's size. As she watched her beloved woman make clothes for her, Mu Yunxuan couldn't close his mouth and his gaze followed Su Zimo.
"That's enough. It's done," Su Zimo put away the measuring tape and handed it to Qinglian, who had already recorded Mu Yunxuan's measurements.
"Momo, where are we going next?" Su Zimo glanced at Mu Yunxuan. What was this guy thinking?
Looking at his appearance, it seemed like he was expecting something exciting to happen.
"Don't think too much. Next, we're going home. We have to see if Li'er has returned," Su Zimo said.
"Oh!" Mu Yunxuan nodded. He thought Momo had some other surprise planned. In fact, today was the most surprising day of his life. The current Mu Yunxuan, who used to be feared by everyone in Yun City, was now completely like a young man experiencing his first love.
Su Zimo looked at him, feeling blissful in her heart. Her handsome, handsome, handsome husband.
Just as Su Zimo and Mu Yunxuan arrived at the Mingyue Villa, Qing Feng anxiously approached Mu Yunxuan. Seeing Qing Feng's expression, Mu Yunxuan knew something was not simple.
Finding a random reason, he followed Qing Feng to leave.
Su Zimo watched their retreating figures, her thoughts suddenly becoming serious. Could it be that the people from Tianmen have come knocking again?
