Thirty, Kunlun Border (Ten)

  Xiao Yao listened and realized that these people's thoughts were already deeply rooted, and it was unlikely to convince them that this Zi Dong was the same as the other Zi Dong. However, he hoped that his group could at least be more cautious around Zi Dong, not to be fooled by him. He changed his approach and said: "Regardless of whether he is the rumored Zi Dong or not, this person's behavior is very strange. Earlier, he followed me inexplicably along the way, and even when he saw the treasure list, he didn't take any action. If I'm not mistaken, he hasn't handed over any treasures, right? Now, there's this 'Zi Dong visited here' inscription, who can confirm that it was left by that senior? Can't you have some doubts about this cultivator who claims to be 'Zi Dong'?"

  Under her guidance, the three people from this side all looked thoughtful, vaguely remembering that the cultivator named Zidong had joined them more than half a year ago. This person was indeed very strange, wandering around every day with an expressionless face, basically not seeing him take on tasks, even in activities within the sect where he was clearly required to participate, he would follow along with his sleeves fluttering behind him, never using any magic.

  After a long time, Kong Sheng was the first to raise his eyes, and his face had already gathered a smile. He said seriously: "This child is indeed a bit strange, but it can't be explained that this matter must have been done by him. In short, thank you for reminding us, we will pay attention to this side."

  While Yu Feng and Liu Su'e also made a statement, Xiao Yao believed that they would also have some reservations in their hearts. Anyway, she didn't expect them to believe her immediately, as long as they had some vigilance in their hearts, it was enough.

  "This matter is settled, a male cultivator on the side suggested: 'Since we can't find anything here, staying here forever isn't an option either. Why don't we walk and search at the same time, see if there are any clues in other places.'"

  All four of them expressed their consent, and as they were about to leave, Yu Feng passed by Xiao Yao's side and suddenly said with a hint of profundity: "Rather than believing that it was Zi Dong who made trouble, I would rather believe that you flying immortals set this trap, which would be more reasonable."

  Xiao Yao furrowed her brow, while the flying ascension male cultivator who was with her coldly glanced at Yu Feng and stepped forward to comfort her, saying: "Fellow Daoist, don't mind him. This person has a considerable amount of hostility towards flying ascension cultivators, and from earlier on, he's been targeting us. He's a biased one."

  "Alright, let's go." Xiao Yao responded casually to him, but her eyes were fixed on Yu Feng's back, shining with a mixture of light and darkness, lost in thought.

  Grey sky, black earth, staying in such an oppressive place is not a pleasant thing in itself, let alone five people with different thoughts.

  After traveling over 10,000 miles, there was nothing on the black soil, and a few people were still as foggy as when they first arrived. This pessimistic situation made Liu Su'e's heart even more panicked, she followed closely behind Yu Feng, her body pressed extremely low, her expression tense.

  As for Xiao Yao, she was walking at the back of the team, her expression unchanged.

  Suddenly a voice sounded in his mind: "Where are you?"

  Xiao Yao's eyes sank, and she said, "Has True Immortal Sir had enough fun?"

  He remained silent for a while before saying, "I just ran into some trouble."

  Xiao Yao didn't believe it at all, she and the leopard were one entity, if the leopard was in real danger, she would feel it in the first place, and since she wouldn't die, the leopard wouldn't either, even if its body was destroyed, a new one could be created. This guy's so-called trouble was probably self-inflicted!

  "What kind of trouble have you gotten yourself into?" she asked patiently.

  "I've met the guy with droopy eyes again."

  Zi Dong? She said again: "You've provoked him? Where are you two now?"

  "My dad didn't provoke him!" Leopard protested, "He just wanted to test his strength, but ended up being outrun by this guy."

  "To be honest." Xiao Yao didn't need to think to know that he was lying, and must have been taken advantage of by Zi Dong, otherwise this guy wouldn't dare to look for him.

  Another silence, and then the other side finally spoke up: "That bastard wouldn't even fight with me, but instead set up a formation to trap me inside. You'd better hurry over and let me out!"

  The leopard was originally proficient in formations and could trap him, it can be seen that the formation set by Zidong is not simple. Xiao Yao was angry with Baozi for taking action arbitrarily, but she had to rescue him first before punishing him.

  "Where are you roughly located?"

  "When you see a high mountain, I will be locked up at the foot of the mountain."

  Xiao Yao furrowed her brow, here except for the black soil, even a stone was not seen, where did the high mountain come from? Just thinking about it, a huge black shadow enveloped above her head, she looked up, and indeed, in a gray mist, there was a massive object with a shape like a mountain standing in the distance.

  "You wait here, I'll go over."

  She replied to the leopard and then said to the man beside her, "My spiritual pet is trapped nearby, I'll go find it, so I won't be traveling with you all anymore, farewell."

  Just as her voice fell, the person had not yet left, and the remaining wind suddenly appeared in front of her, coldly saying: "What, Fellow Daoist wants to escape?"

  "What's the meaning of 'escape'?" Xiao Yao narrowed her eyes, "I was never on the same path as you all to begin with. Where I want to go is my own freedom. Is it that Brother Zhen really takes me for a detained prisoner?"

  Yu Feng was momentarily speechless, but soon spoke in a firm tone: "In any case, you can't leave now!"

  This man repeatedly hindered himself, and no matter how good her temper was, she couldn't bear it. Moreover, the leopard's eyes were still trapped, and she had no time to entangle with him!

  "My going or staying, you have no right to decide!"

  In an instant, Xiao Yao's entire body released a powerful aura, and the sky was filled with anger and killing intent. The four people were all shocked, and Liu Su'e couldn't withstand it and spat out a mouthful of blood. She never thought that she would have to suffer such a sin for the second time!

  "Wu wu, let her go quickly," Liu Su'e covered her chest and was on the verge of collapse, tears streaming down her face, where was the elegant demeanor of a young lady?

  Kong Sheng hastily stepped forward and called out to Yu Feng, "Don't stop her! Wait until the truth comes to light, if it was indeed them who did it, we can settle the score when we return to the White Jade Pavilion, it's not too late!" The implication being that even if the monk escapes, he cannot escape the temple, and telling him not to add chaos in a time of unclear danger.

  Yu Feng's face looked very bad, his eyes were gloomy and he didn't know what he was thinking about, but he still gave Kong Sheng face, turned his body and no longer blocked him.

  Xiao Yao glanced at him and immediately turned to leave. Soon after she left, the flying male cultivator also sneered and said: "I won't keep you company either, farewell!" After finishing speaking, he chose another direction and departed with a flourish.

  As for the three people left behind, they remained silent for a long time and didn't speak again. After Liu Su'e caught her breath, she set off towards the direction of the big mountain.

  Only Xiao Yao, after leaving the four people, urged the foot bucket to rush forward quickly. Looking at the mountain from afar, it seemed close, but in reality, there were more than 10,000 miles away. Approaching the foot of the mountain and taking a closer look, one could finally see the entire appearance of the mountain. The mountain was majestic, with a height of several thousand feet, piercing through the clouds. The top of the mountain was bare and empty, without any plants in sight. The rocks were also black, like the soil, making it appear pitch-black. Dark winds howled around. Moreover, at the connection point between the mountain peak and the sky, there was a dark red fissure over 100 feet long, causing a whirlpool-like airflow to stir up the gray cloud layer near the mountain top, making this place seem like a purgatory.

  Next, she flew around the foot of the mountain for a while and soon discovered the leopard's trail. The guy was trapped in a light yellow transparent cover, scratching his ears with a gloomy face.
